7:14 PM@Sheekago​​Hey everybody

7:15 PM@Sheekago​​Hip Pop? Hip Hop?

7:16 PM@addictedtochaos2​​At least you weren’t like my idiot coworker who climbed up the warehouse racking and fell, fracturing his hip.

7:16 PM@eathdemon​​sounds like you should go see a doctor lol

7:16 PM@jaredknisely6213​​$$$$

7:17 PM@Sheekago​​@addictedtochaos2 please tell that co worker didn't file workman's comp.

7:17 PM@jaredknisely6213​​perks of being at a physical gym and not a home gym

7:17 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I have no idea.

7:18 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Climbing the racking is a big no-no. That is what the forklifts are for.

7:22 PM@eathdemon​​I mean anyone shocked physical media is dying? im not lol

7:22 PM@addictedtochaos2​​PlayStation is still dead to me.

7:22 PM@Sheekago​​@eathdemon shocked? No. Disappointed, yes.

7:24 PM@eathdemon​​hate to be the debi downer here, but the era of mantaining 400 person teams are over. in the future it will be scaling up/down/ outsourcing/contracting. its not economicly rational

7:25 PM@eathdemon​​

7:25 PM@Sheekago​​***DLC not included

7:25 PM@Sheekago​​****Just give us your money, damn it

7:26 PM@jaredknisely6213​​thats my fav when they ack you to buy something for 100's of $$$ and they cant even give you a copy of the game

7:26 PM@addictedtochaos2​​You either die as Sega or you live long enough to see yourself become PlayStation.

7:26 PM@eathdemon​​tbf they did that b/c embracer gabled up all the support studios

7:27 PM@jaredknisely6213​​its more than that, those studios where give years and a lot of moeny to do something which a good amount like 90 percent of them wasted

7:28 PM@jaredknisely6213​​only the Doom devs did something with those resources

7:28 PM@addictedtochaos2​​PlayStation’s downfall began when Jim Ryan was placed in charge, and while he no longer is, we are now seeing the effects.

7:28 PM@Sheekago​​Look at vinyl records. They became niche and now they're making a come back.

7:30 PM@Sheekago​​That's true. It's all about control. Those cars with heated seat "subscriptions". They're trying to get rid of Android or Apple on their cars and create their own OS to lease to us.

7:31 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Their first party games actually sell more physical copies, but it comes down to maximizing profits. Nothing else.

7:31 PM@eathdemon​​also I cant say shit since all my games are on steam, so digital lol

7:32 PM@jaredknisely6213​​[message retracted]

7:33 PM@jaredknisely6213​​its the by-product of the gaming industry cancer that fortnite popularized

7:34 PM@jaredknisely6213​​we like show and tell

7:38 PM@eathdemon​​casting your mind back in to the abyss :)

7:38 PM@jaredknisely6213​​crab rav

7:40 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Sony dominated the PS1 and PS2 eras and that lead to the PS3, and while they did rebound, it wasn’t as successful. Xbox shot themselves in the foot with the Xbox One reveal and never really recovered.

7:41 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Which lead to Sony dominating the PS4 and PS5 eras and had lead to their arrogance now.

7:42 PM@eathdemon​​thanks for making me feel old lol

7:42 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The game was Genji

7:46 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The first Genji was on PS2 and was quite good.

7:47 PM@eathdemon​​the ps2 and 360 era was heavily contract based

7:48 PM@addictedtochaos2​​If you mean Mr. Caffeine it was the Ubisoft presentation.

7:50 PM@AndrewEisen​​Sorry folks. The stream is just disconnecting and reconnecting. I'll give it a few minutes and see if it stops.

7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I can see you moving

7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​But no sound

7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Now I can hear you.

7:53 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The Wii U wasn’t arrogance, it was more just Nintendo misread the market.

7:57 PM@AndrewEisen​​And here we go again with the damn disconnects.

7:58 PM@eathdemon​​I mean it could be restream getting slammed b/c its the weekend

7:58 PM@jaredknisely6213​​just a thought have you tried obs?

7:59 PM@AndrewEisen​​I'm using OBS. I'm just using restream so that I can stream to both YouTube and Twitch on Sundays. Maybe I need to stream the Sunday night podcast directly to YouTube.

7:59 PM@AndrewEisen​​Saturday night podcast, I mean.

8:00 PM@eathdemon​​I think its possable its just high ussage on restreams end

8:01 PM@AndrewEisen​​It doesn't appear to be my connection so that appears most likely. I've been using Restream for years and only had this problem in the last couple months.

8:02 PM@AndrewEisen​​Okay, well. Long story short. That anime is one joke over and over but I kept laughing at it. I don't know how it's going to maintain an entire series but I guess we'll see.

8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213​​from the internet reading i see its a restream thing

8:03 PM@AndrewEisen​​I'm ending the podcast. Hope to see you all tomorrow for Cold Steel III.

8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213​​would take more than a few mins of reading to see the main issue

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  Dinosaurs month concludes with Keleigh's mandated movie: ONE OF OUR DINOSAURS IS MISSING!  A very not racist Disney movie from the 1975 fearing a large cast of Chinese characters played by white guys!  Except for that one dude way in the background.  See him?  No, not that one.  That's a white guy in yellowface too.  A bit to the left.  Nope that's also a white guy.  Further to the left.  Yeah, there he is!

Now, before you start bringing out the pitchforks, remember, China wasn't discovered until 1978 and Disney felt really bad when they learned that they could have been using Chinese actors this whole time.  If only they'd known of their existence!

Chat Transcript:

6:58 PM@addictedtochaos2​​PlayStation is dead to me.

6:58 PM@jaredknisely6213​​is it 90 pls in san diego too?

6:59 PM@addictedtochaos2​​It was 105 here yesterday, but a storm just came through and now it is 70.

6:59 PM@addictedtochaos2​​My bedroom is 95

7:00 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I spent all day at the movies yesterday just to beat the heat.

7:03 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Just got a commercial mid-sentence

7:04 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I wanted GTA VI, but no physical edition is an absolute dealbreaker.

7:05 PM@jaredknisely6213​​im not suprised by the steam machine price/my ssd that i bought in jan of last year 4x'ed in price

7:12 PM@addictedtochaos2​​It is almost certainly the case.

7:13 PM@addictedtochaos2​​From how they had it worded, it sounds like there are in game missions and activities locked to the ultimate edition.

7:16 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I’m buying the Godzilla remaster instead, it comes out on the same day as GTA.

7:17 PM@jaredknisely6213​​OT will probably be a holiday release

7:18 PM@jaredknisely6213​​you can blame sony for that choice

7:19 PM@jaredknisely6213​​rockstar knew

7:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​on the other hand, the OS is open source

7:21 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The industry will price itself to extinction.

7:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​which is awesome

7:22 PM@jaredknisely6213​​steam said, build your own here's the code

7:29 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Was interested in the Steam machine, as I don’t have a gaming PC, then they announced the price and my interest died immediately.

7:34 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The proprietary component cables were for GameCube, the Wii supported 3rd party cables.

7:35 PM@jaredknisely6213​​i bought the switch in 2020 and got odyssey last week

7:36 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The gaming industry as a whole disgusts me lately.

7:38 PM@jaredknisely6213​​i still havent got the game yet

7:38 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I get that they are a business and need to be profitable, but the unending greed is just too much.

7:38 PM@jaredknisely6213​​could ask you to play dusk bloods

7:39 PM@jaredknisely6213​​

7:57 PM@addictedtochaos2​​According to sales data PlayStation’s first party games tend to sell more physical rather digital.

7:57 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I’m not buying a PS6 either.

7:58 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Purely a spreadsheet move.

7:59 PM@addictedtochaos2​​My backlog of 5,000+ games will last me the rest of my life.

8:00 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Shelly long

8:02 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Upside the president of Nintendo did say that the goal isn’t just to increase digital sales, but game sales overall, including physical games.

8:02 PM@jaredknisely6213​​but the switch as physical stuff

8:03 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Should buy one before another price increase.

8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213​​and a little less scummy than sony

8:04 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I think the Switch 2 version contains the Switch 1 version as well.

8:05 PM@addictedtochaos2​​There are also plenty of Switch games that play better on Switch 2

8:18 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Thankfully transferring data from Switch 1 to 2 is easy and straightforward.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  It's Dinosaurs month on Movie Mandates so I mandated we watch THE VALLEY OF GWANGI, a film about cowboys who find a purple dinosaur and capture it so they can donate it to science and benefit humanity with all that can be learned!

Nah, just kidding.  They cage it and sell tickets to people eager to get a look because apparently none of these bozos have seen King Kong.
