Chat Transcript:

6:51 PME. Zachary Knight​Hello Everyone

6:56 PMBryan Gillis​Hey guys! Visiting the US, so it’s actually convenient for me this week

6:56 PMDED_SEC Gaming​Hav u played duke Nukem 3d

6:57 PMBryan Gillis​In the Chicago suburbs to see my Mum

6:57 PMBryan Gillis​Was in the Houston area last week to see my Dad as well

6:58 PMBryan Gillis​Same with the allergies- mine are a lot worse here than they were in Scotland

6:58 PMBryan Gillis​the cold climate there probably leads to fewer allergens

6:58 PMBryan Gillis​Ah, cool cool

6:59 PMmatthew wilson​what do you think of the walmart leaks?

7:00 PMBornDistracted​recharging from games can be a good thing…

7:01 PMBryan Gillis​Oh cool, you found a way to play with them. Did you need to buy another copy of the game?

7:01 PMBryan Gillis​Ah, okay. didn’t know that was a possibility, cool

7:02 PMmatthew wilson​stardew valley should run on a toaster, that is kind of suprisingf

7:03 PMBryan Gillis​It looks like it should, certainly, but maybe it’s not that efficient behind the scenes

7:04 PMBornDistracted​tell Andrew to take his time lol…

7:05 PMhype guy​sup

7:05 PMBryan Gillis​have you finished the museum collection? That’s the painful one for me

7:06 PMBryan Gillis​I’m waiting for the update on Switch, then I plan to go in mostly blind and be surprised

7:06 PMBryan Gillis​Oh wow, nice! Congrats

7:07 PMBornDistracted​sometimes spoilers are difficult to avoid

7:07 PMBryan Gillis​Yeah. I’m just avoiding any explicit walkthroughs of the new content. it’s not like there’s one big twist to avoid the spoilage of

7:08 PMmatthew wilson​why first gen is most popular gen

7:11 PMmatthew wilson​f that, no way will I pay for online saves. I get that for free on steam

7:13 PMBornDistracted​cant cloud saves get corrupted?…

7:13 PMBryan Gillis​Much less likely than local saves getting corruptes

7:13 PMBornDistracted​oh ok

7:13 PMmatthew wilson​unlikely cloud saves are rarely just saved to 1 server

7:13 PMBryan Gillis​cloud files usually use multiple backups to check for corruption

7:17 PMBryan Gillis​Seems reasonable to me. no reason they should have to foot the bill if someone else breaks it

7:20 PMBryan Gillis​Yeah, the legality issue is another big thorn. it boggles the mind that repairing your own electronics could be illegal

7:21 PMBornDistracted​maybe they can franchise their repair centers?…

7:23 PMBornDistracted​agreed

7:23 PMmatthew wilson​dell does that for their stuff

7:24 PMmatthew wilson​again I wont pay for cloud saves, I get that dor free on steam

7:24 PMmatthew wilson​even ms give cloud saves to non gold members

7:25 PMmatthew wilson​the lack of usb backup is the insane part

7:25 PMBornDistracted​bad thing for Nintendo is putting ridiculous lack of memory in the Switch then adds cloud saving for a fee…

7:25 PMBryan Gillis​Yeah. I think they’re just worried about cheaters

7:26 PMBryan Gillis​local save backups have a history of being hacked

7:27 PMmatthew wilson​spoiler alert the switch can already be hacked hiven a hardware cpu bug they cant fix lol

7:28 PMBryan Gillis​Yeah, true. And worries about hacks shouldn’t hurt legitimate consumers

7:29 PMBryan Gillis​it’s like how only legal viewers of movies have to watch those FBI warnings, or legal players of games have to deal with DRM

7:29 PMmatthew wilson​not the next run, the next revision. they would have to swap to a new tegra chip

7:30 PMmatthew wilson​I think its 3 like every other zelda game, your thinking pokemon

7:31 PMmatthew wilson​pokemon was always 1 save

7:31 PMSeakkenned​Zachary flying solo tonight?

7:32 PMBornDistracted​wb Darth Sir Andrew…

7:32 PMSeakkenned​Pronounced shockened

7:32 PMBryan Gillis​Hey Andrew!

7:33 PMBornDistracted​Bryan I think we spoke too soon lol

7:33 PMSeakkenned​It’s fine I know it’s confusing

7:33 PMmatthew wilson​there are roumers ms will drop gold at e3, and convert all gold members to games pass. let people play online for free

7:33 PMSeakkenned​Yea the whole thing is pretty lackluster so far

7:34 PMBryan Gillis​Yup, looks like he’s gone

7:35 PMmatthew wilson​cloud save thing bugs me becouse storage is dirt cheap, bandwith isnt, storage is

7:35 PMmatthew wilson​smash is almost 100% tpo be day and date with this service

7:36 PMSeakkenned​Did you ever get you a Switch yet Zachary?

7:37 PMmatthew wilson​they wont do that

7:38 PMSeakkenned​And no virtual console either appearantly.

7:39 PMBornDistracted​neo geo mini looks good…

7:39 PMSeakkenned​I think theyre just going to keep making the mini consoles every year

7:40 PMmatthew wilson​given the roumers of a pokemon game for switch this year, do you think a price cut, or a bundle will happen

7:40 PMmatthew wilson​the only snes game ?I care about came to steam, so dont care anymore

7:41 PMmatthew wilson​no there are only 3 good games on the n64 mario 64, oot, and majara’s mesk

7:42 PMmatthew wilson​the only game the first snes classic was missing was crono trigger

7:42 PMTrey Ahzze​how many people even play their SNES mini?

7:42 PMSeakkenned​Yea I would like that to

7:45 PMSeakkenned​Don’t see them Andrew

7:46 PMBornDistracted​sounds like another Marvel movie

7:49 PMSeakkenned​I read on IMDb that jake busey is in the movie and plays Gary busey’s characters son from predator 2.

7:49 PMBryan Gillis​it was a different race of predators in that one, hence the differe t behavior
