Chat Transcript:
6:51 PME. Zachary KnightāHello Everyone
6:56 PMBryan GillisāHey guys! Visiting the US, so it’s actually convenient for me this week
6:56 PMDED_SEC GamingāHav u played duke Nukem 3d
6:57 PMBryan GillisāIn the Chicago suburbs to see my Mum
6:57 PMBryan GillisāWas in the Houston area last week to see my Dad as well
6:58 PMBryan GillisāSame with the allergies- mine are a lot worse here than they were in Scotland
6:58 PMBryan Gillisāthe cold climate there probably leads to fewer allergens
6:58 PMBryan GillisāAh, cool cool
6:59 PMmatthew wilsonāwhat do you think of the walmart leaks?
7:00 PMBornDistractedārecharging from games can be a good thing…
7:01 PMBryan GillisāOh cool, you found a way to play with them. Did you need to buy another copy of the game?
7:01 PMBryan GillisāAh, okay. didn’t know that was a possibility, cool
7:02 PMmatthew wilsonāstardew valley should run on a toaster, that is kind of suprisingf
7:03 PMBryan GillisāIt looks like it should, certainly, but maybe it’s not that efficient behind the scenes
7:04 PMBornDistractedātell Andrew to take his time lol…
7:05 PMhype guyāsup
7:05 PMBryan Gillisāhave you finished the museum collection? That’s the painful one for me
7:06 PMBryan GillisāI’m waiting for the update on Switch, then I plan to go in mostly blind and be surprised
7:06 PMBryan GillisāOh wow, nice! Congrats
7:07 PMBornDistractedāsometimes spoilers are difficult to avoid
7:07 PMBryan GillisāYeah. 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 wilsonāwhy first gen is most popular gen
7:11 PMmatthew wilsonāf that, no way will I pay for online saves. I get that for free on steam
7:13 PMBornDistractedācant cloud saves get corrupted?…
7:13 PMBryan GillisāMuch less likely than local saves getting corruptes
7:13 PMBornDistractedāoh ok
7:13 PMmatthew wilsonāunlikely cloud saves are rarely just saved to 1 server
7:13 PMBryan Gillisācloud files usually use multiple backups to check for corruption
7:17 PMBryan GillisāSeems reasonable to me. no reason they should have to foot the bill if someone else breaks it
7:20 PMBryan GillisāYeah, the legality issue is another big thorn. it boggles the mind that repairing your own electronics could be illegal
7:21 PMBornDistractedāmaybe they can franchise their repair centers?…
7:23 PMBornDistractedāagreed
7:23 PMmatthew wilsonādell does that for their stuff
7:24 PMmatthew wilsonāagain I wont pay for cloud saves, I get that dor free on steam
7:24 PMmatthew wilsonāeven ms give cloud saves to non gold members
7:25 PMmatthew wilsonāthe lack of usb backup is the insane part
7:25 PMBornDistractedābad thing for Nintendo is putting ridiculous lack of memory in the Switch then adds cloud saving for a fee…
7:25 PMBryan GillisāYeah. I think they’re just worried about cheaters
7:26 PMBryan Gillisālocal save backups have a history of being hacked
7:27 PMmatthew wilsonāspoiler alert the switch can already be hacked hiven a hardware cpu bug they cant fix lol
7:28 PMBryan GillisāYeah, true. And worries about hacks shouldn’t hurt legitimate consumers
7:29 PMBryan Gillisāit’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 wilsonānot the next run, the next revision. they would have to swap to a new tegra chip
7:30 PMmatthew wilsonāI think its 3 like every other zelda game, your thinking pokemon
7:31 PMmatthew wilsonāpokemon was always 1 save
