Chat Transcript:
5:39 PMCecil475Hi guys.
6:35 PMeathdemonadult swim wins April fools
6:37 PMAndrew EisenOh? What did it do?
6:39 PMeathdemonthey decided to put the first episode of the new season of Rick and Morty streaming on repeat til midnight unannounced.
6:39 PMeathdemonless up a joke, more of a surprise, but still.
6:41 PMAndrew EisenWant to like that show. So much incredible thought, craft, imagination and intelligence in the writing but I honestly can’t stand it.
6:41 PMeathdemondont mind it, but not huge fan ether, but still a good way to win April 1st.
6:47 PME. Zachary KnightHello
6:48 PME. Zachary KnightSaturdays and Sundays just aren’t good days for me when it comes to April Fools. I am just way too busy to be able to follow anything.
6:50 PMeathdemonadult swim have come a shockingly big in the games industry as a leading indie publisher, with a very very good track record
6:55 PMkratos3821Nintendo fans “damage controlling since 1996”
6:55 PMAndrew EisenReferring to something specific?
6:56 PMkratos3821after a few big aaa announcements , it’s obvious that nintendon’t gonna have aaa support
6:57 PMAndrew EisenWho is damage controlling and how?
6:58 PMkratos3821that’s slogan for t-shirt
6:58 PMkratos3821Nintendo fans “who’s damage controlling and how?”
6:59 PM13Ucubeyoutube policies suck
7:00 PM13Ucubethey don’t give live announcements for your channel
7:01 PMeathdemonstar wars battlefront 2
7:01 PMeathdemongiven how switchs are selling, I hope they kill off the 3ds
7:03 PMeathdemonsounds like you should have used your gps lol
7:04 PM13UcubeIs the third stamina wheel worth building or should I just get hearts?
7:06 PM13UcubeAah yes, Attention Deficiency
7:09 PMeathdemonandre I sent you a tweat, I would like to hear you and ezk reaction to it, I found it funny.
7:34 PMLakster37you could see how many almonds are in a cup… that you shake around to make almond milk?
7:34 PMeathdemonwell peta is insane, someone get peta some peta bread
7:34 PMCyberjinthey shouldn’t be taken seriously
7:35 PMCyberjinlosing credibility
7:36 PMNick BradleyHoly cow, that is udderly insane.
7:36 PMLakster37nah, they just do these things for publicity. I don’t think they actually care about most depictions of animals in games
7:38 PMLakster37(Japan – are they anywhere else?)
7:40 PMI Love Woodchucks SocietyI love woodchucks, and I have no problem with how they were poorly represented in the video game “Over the Hedge”
7:41 PMLakster37but no one would have ever read it
7:41 PMeathdemongood example prison architect
7:42 PMlittlegittelWait, games don’t represent reality? You mean there aren’t fire breathing flowers in the sewer?
7:43 PMkratos3821p.e.t.a “people enjoying tits and asses ” , that’s the reason why they’re bad at taking care of animals
7:44 PMeathdemonspec ops the line
7:45 PMLakster37no kratos, if they’re busy doing that, then they can’t be abusing animals
7:45 PMLakster37or… at least not as much
7:47 PMeathdemonthey cant anyway most of the web is h t t p s btw, all they can see is domain names nothing else
7:48 PMHoqZz-Hello its hoqzz- here
7:50 PMHoqZz-Hello andrew eisen and e zachery night
7:51 PMHoqZz-Typo
7:54 PMMixtape TroySo… what effectively is happening?
7:54 PMMixtape TroyThere’s a lot of conflicting info
7:55 PMLakster37I get specific ads from Google based on specific searches and stuff I’ve done, though
7:55 PMLakster37but that DOES actually happen NOW
7:55 PMLakster37if you go searching for semen, there’s a good chance you’ll get semen ads…
7:57 PM13Ucubenothing is actually changing because Congress doesn’t ever ACTUALLY do anything
7:58 PM13Ucube… except spend money they don’t have
7:58 PMMixtape TroyOkay. I was thinking they were going to be selling data now
7:58 PMLakster37they can now
7:58 PMMixtape TroyOh so Comcast and Time Warner and their ilk lobbied for this
7:59 PMLakster37definitely
7:59 PMLakster37so does Google not sell that search info? they just use it for themselves? or do they sell to other advertisers as well?
8:01 PMMixtape Troy(Big) Business as usual in America.
8:01 PMLakster37you’re hampering the free market, Andrew
8:02 PMMixtape TroyYour connection has improved though, Zack!
8:03 PMLakster37idk why, I’m surprised they haven’t completely shut of ezk’s internet with what he’s been saying
8:03 PMeathdemonif I were king for a day, I would force line sharing
8:05 PMSheriff Texasandrew is epic 🙂
8:05 PMMixtape TroyWow my god your reading voice was perfect
8:06 PMeathdemonjust make the tools ver acounts get avalable to all, if it costs to much have people paay $5 a month for people who want them
8:06 PMlittlegittelVery Marie Antoinette of them. “We don’t have bread” ” let them eat cake.” Eggs are harassment.” “Change the icon”
8:08 PMLakster37I think “not all eggs” is a perfect description
8:09 PMLakster37corn rows, Andrew
8:11 PMLakster37I’m pretty sure Wii U used something similar to blu-ray… not DVD
8:11 PMScottyJayManWii U disc was proprietary, holds 26gb
8:12 PMLakster37right, just like Wii, but Wii was basically DVD. Wii U is very similar to bluray, at least from my understanding
8:12 PMLakster37only Australians cared about this?
8:15 PMeathdemonits not solid state, its faster than a disc, but slower than a ssd
8:16 PMLakster37my thought was, maybe it was just something that was leftover from ps4 or xb1 box?
8:16 PMeathdemonin fact digital foundry found internal memory to be the fastest way to load games
8:16 PMJacks 47My
8:17 PMLakster37it may be slower, but I’m pretty sure it’s still solid state…
8:17 PMLakster37you could call n64 carts solid state
8:18 PMeathdemonits solid state, but not a ssd
8:19 PMScottyJayManPsp go was 🙂
8:19 PMLakster37it’s pretty much a proprietary flash cart isn’t it?
8:19 PMLakster37haha ^
8:19 PMCarl KingI expected twerking guys
8:19 PMScottyJayManDepends on the time zone
8:20 PMLakster37so that means you’ve tried?
8:20 PMCarl King
8:21 PMCarl KingTrump 2020
8:22 PMCarl King
8:22 PM13Ucubewhat’s your idea for 24 hr game a thon that you say you are going to probably forget??
8:23 PMLakster37We want for everything but Switch
8:23 PMScottyJayManMore of you watching kitties
8:23 PMLakster37why doyou need patience for Let’s Plays? There’s not much editing at all… just record and upload
8:23 PM13Ucubebtw Zachary thank u for subscribing!!
8:24 PMkratos3821nintendo it’s just not being supported by aaa and the few games they’ll get are gonna cost 10 bucks more…. Nintendo fans “2017 and still damage controlling”
8:24 PMCarl KingI subbed because you masturbated to kittens so don’t know what i expect lol
8:25 PMMixtape Troy@Lakster37 syncing game audio and voice audio, cutting of certain footage, lowering white noise levels, etc
8:26 PMLakster37I think people would most want you to do ASMR btw, Andrew
8:26 PMLakster37yeah, most Let’s plays don’t do that… maybe dividng it up in 20 min parts
8:26 PMLakster37but that’s not that difficult, especially if you just record it that way
8:28 PMLakster37yeah, I completely understand that most videos require lots of editting, I was just saying: Let’s Plays are one of the few types of videos that really don’t…
8:28 PMLakster37just set up everything the way you want, record it that way, and post
8:29 PMMixtape TroyAgree to disagree Lakster. Try it out if you haven’t, lot more to it than you would think.
8:31 PMLakster37If you want to go through the process of editing out boring bits, yes I agree. But if you’re literally just showing everything, like a live stream divided into parts
8:32 PMLakster37which a lot of Let’s Plays do, it’s not that hard
8:32 PMMixtape TroyYou were presenting facts, not pandering to Nintendo, Andrew.
8:32 PMMixtape TroyThey get like that.
8:33 PMLakster37it’s nowhere near 3 dozen is it?
8:34 PMMixtape TroyMore like one dozen Lakster
8:34 PMLakster37yeah let’s what I’d say lol
8:36 PMLakster37see that sort of thing starts getting into what I would consider more of a review, maybe with lots of gameplay. but to me the benefit of Let’s Play is people experiencing a game with their audience
8:37 PMMixtape TroyChuggaconroy’s level of quality is unreal
8:37 PMLakster37alright, fair enough
8:39 PMCarl KingYou need to get voice over work bro i think even Alex Jones made about 800k one year from it and your voice is better ️
8:43 PMCarl King50 shades of Trey Gowdy
8:43 PMLakster37shapes of grey? were you saying words you wouldn’t want to repeat on the podcast?
8:43 PMMixtape TroyDamn that sucks Andrew
8:44 PMLakster37well most people hear their own voice lower than they do. for you, it’s not possible to be lower Andrew
8:45 PMMixtape TroyBarbershop Quartets?!
8:47 PM13UcubeWe need more barbershop vids Andrew
8:51 PM13UcubeDescant is so fun
8:51 PMCarl King
8:52 PM13UcubeAnyway the wind blows
