Menulog Gets Door Bashed: Valve Steam Machine & Rambo Prequel

And as I said just before we started recording, I'm bringing it back. Ahoy ahoy. Ahoy. Ahoy, Luke, I've got a question to for you. To start off, how was your KFC? I shut down a. Business Welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts, Matt. Luke. And Dan multiple nerdgasm, your guide to all things nerdy. Yeah, we got so I wouldn't I wasn't following this, obviously, because I'm not in Australia, but we got Nate was like, you guys fucked up Menulog.

Yeah, he didn't say in those words. He's much less crass than I am. Yeah, he's very sophisticated. I've been writing them going like you don't have the infrastructure to handle business in. You've been writing to them and saying. Writing to them but say like just in Canberra. Maybe that's why they don't deliver your food with the quickest priority. They, they literally had some meeting the other day where they're like, we've been getting this feedback from this customer and I think he's right.

Yeah, guys. Well. This guy's right. Like actually maybe a grumpy old man. I only. Thought it was in Canberra because it would say 40 minute estimate, fine, and then three hours later my food might arrive. Yeah. And I'm hungry now. You don't, you don't have enough drivers for this and they're, Oh no, you need to take into account traffic or something. I live in Canberra. I can drive from one side to the other 10 times in time.

It's taken with your driver not to arrive. Yeah, right. Like don't try and throw traffic as a reason. You really have had these conversations, haven't you? This is not a bit you're doing I. Mean the listeners didn't have sort of had that conversation last week during the show. I've emailed them, I've spoken to them, I've said this to the people, and I'm sorry I got you all fired, but you just didn't have well. It doesn't sound like there's any staff to be fired. I think the problem is is they

did have a big thing for a little while while they were spending a lot of money on advertising, Like a lot of money, like getting a lot of big stars. Celebrity endorsements, Yeah. Yep, and I think that's just where all the money went. OK, I'm scrolling down like they used to like Snoop Dogg, they would have Snoop Dogg doing and they used to have had the football all the time. And I honestly thought, I only thought it was a Canberra problem just due to there's 300, three, 100,000 people here so. Yeah, I mean, that sounds like a lot to me, but for a city,

that's probably not much. Yeah, compared to the capital. City, Yeah. Well, are you? Maybe not, but yeah, they're shutting down. Literally shutting down when you look the parent company in Europe somewhere. I don't think I don't order food to deliver. I think the dollar. Simply can't afford it. They've given me credit and I'm going, no, I don't want credit, I want my money back. You don't that make money back 'cause you give. Me money, I bet they're giving everyone credit at the moment.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. Valid for that. Sometimes I'll say yes to that, like if it's 'cause I get stuff from Walmart, like groceries from Walmart, and if something shit, I'll go no, it's, you know, no good. Then they'll go, oh, do you want to refund to your credit and say, well, I'm going to use that next week? Yeah, yeah. But then if it's something more obscure, it's like, no, fuck you. Because they'll say, yeah, we. Can spending any money with you. Yeah, we can give you credit straight away or you can get a

refund on your credit card in like 7 years. One of the things they used to love to do, which is to annoy the hell out of me, was they would there'd be an issue, they go, we had to cancel or wasn't believable or something. They'd go, OK, we'll give you a credit on your account for the amount that you spent. But to use that credit, you now need to spend a dollar. But yeah, I just want to reorder. What I the same thought. I don't want to spend more money. I just want my order back. I they could never just reorder

for me. And then when you get have a really bad experience and they give you a credit, like, yeah, as a refund, I'm gonna give you a credit and it's like, but it's like 20 bucks and it's like, well, I'm not spending any more money with you. That's right. Yeah, Yeah, yeah. Give me another cold pizza. Thanks. Yeah, I really enjoyed that one, even though I am complaining about it. Yeah, we have some Walmart news, but it's probably after party news, although there's a lot of dead people piling up that that

we could talk a bit then after party instead. Walmart's going to be closing. I think Walmart's here to stay. I'll be honest, no. No, no, no. They're in trouble. In some states, they're closed. OK. Closing stores. Shoplifting's just so bad they're going. Oh, wait. That's. Right. Just come and take it, mate. Just take it, take it all. There's people just come in and stealing. There's no point in else keeping

our doors open. Jesus. Maybe they should close the doors. Maybe that's the problem? Yeah. No, look, we might as well talk about it. I mean, we're, we're talking about Walmart now. Anyway, have you guys seen this T-shirt? That's just been we're about to they've been they've been forced to to take down just Scroll down, Scroll down. Oh God. Oh, OK. Hmm. Oh.

Interesting. Yeah, OK. See, I can sort of see what they're going for, but it also it doesn't work without having scissors. It says here that the So this is paper beats rock, and it's got a fist with a hand, but the hand is is seemingly doing a bit of throwing a bit of a sea, Kyle. And yeah, And it does say that both of these symbols are used by white supremacists. Is that the case? I've not seen the well. Actually, wasn't the the the Fist the Black Panther? Yeah, Black Panthers. Like they were the.

From what I know, the Black Panthers that's the opposite of white. Rotation of the hand. Maybe it is, yes, Yeah. But that's not, I mean, I'm not that I'm an expert on the Black Panthers, but I think that's the wrong position of the hand because I. Remember, there was a documentary that I was going to watch one day and it was the guy. Because they, they like forward like that. This one's kind of like, more like a like it's going to be fisting your butt or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There was a documentary I was going to watch once which was about the guy, I forget which, Linux. Was it was about? It was about the Olympics. This guy who came third I think was Australian or something, but it was about his sort of pointed out with like. Because he didn't do the hand, did he? But he just. Left it he he he was white, but he was yeah, there as part that's right yeah, his story in that like not taking part because it's not his story but. I think he still bowed his head and was very respectful cause

and I think they told him in advance they were going to do it. And he was like, yeah, I agree. Yeah, it used to be a mural painted. Yeah, there was a mural painted somewhere on King Street I remember at one point. I might watch it one day. Yeah, yeah, where little vendors used to be, right on King Street, Yes. Correct. Yeah, around that area. Look, I don't want to derail this completely, but yeah, this easy mistake or subtle racism, but what do we think? Oh.

I just. No, I think the creator of the shirt probably knew what they were doing. I'd have to say like you don't accidentally use two. Two of the three, yeah. If there was scissors in there somewhere, I could say. Honest mistake. Yeah, I could say if somebody at Walmart saw this, it meant OK. Yep, approved. Like because they didn't know. Yes, sure. Yeah. Like, but the person who made it, I mean, if if those are both white supremacist symbols, come on mate.

But isn't Walmart also going along the lines of some other stores being like like like an Amazon online store? So not really. A print on demand. Yeah, this, yeah, this wouldn't be in in the store. This isn't their their, yeah, their proprietary brand. Yeah. Yeah, I'd say that's probably true. But like even if they do, because they do vet some of these, but you might not if if I'd seen this, I would have been like OK. I don't think I would. But I might not have, Yeah,

exactly. But I would have probably might have laughed and sent it to you guys again. This looks like yeah, yeah. Throwing up a siegile anyway, approved because you know. But I I I reckon only like 10% of the stuff is actually looked at by a person. Yeah. If that. They're all they had Grok colours and as we all know, Grok is Mecca Hitler, so. Yes, Grok, Speaking of Hitler. I mean, I don't want to. I don't want to point fingers. You know. But go on, Germany have decided

to implement mandatory conscription again for males over 18. Now I don't know if any of you were any of this. For I. Don't know if any of you guys are history buffs but the last two times that happened it was really bad news for us. What did they do? What's going on? I think they're worried about Russia. Oh, OK, well, that makes, that makes sense. I was gonna say, you think this whole all this stuff about when I was there and they're always like, oh, you know what a

Hitler, what a knob. Yeah. And then we leave and they're like, think they bought it. Yeah, because if you went to Germany between World War One and Two, they'd be like Kaiser, what a knob, eh? And then you leave and they're. Like, Oh yeah, right. And secret, they'd be like, love you Kaiser. Sorry. Yes, yeah, we have to say it. So, so yeah, we're retreating here. It's sort of just the they want to sort of increase it by like a few 100,000 people And it says the war in Ukraine and A and a

stark warning from the administration of Trump is that Europe must take responsibility for its own defence. Trump. 'S basically going oh I see you saw yourselves out now. Like yeah, even though I said I fix it all. Yeah, I was about to say that's actually a fair statement if he stays the fuck out of it. Yeah. Which he did, he did fix. He's just fixed Gaza, so. He did fix Thailand, Thailand and Laos, Thailand and Kenodia. Out of this league, I know you keep saying that, but I've never heard it.

It's. Happened. Though how is it possible that he did that and he doesn't talk about it? That's what I want to know. But didn't he also maybe just a country that he fixed? Didn't he say that he he fixed the war in Moldova or something? And they're like, I think we had a war. Here, Yeah, Aberbaijan. Aberbaijan, yeah. But but. But the what real one that he just. Don't remember spots of the fucking continent. Yeah, and.

It did happen. Yeah, no, I believe you. I believe, I believe you that they believe that. Yeah. Well, also I guess it does make sense that Germany would be concerned about Russia again again so. Yet again, what? Mind you, the first time they were concerned about Russia, they had every it's. Because they knew they were right. Pissed them off. Correct. They they, they, they knew. Then the second time they they buddied up with Russia.

And then halfway through the war went ha ha, surprise. Like, yeah. Track record what? Are you doing? But yeah, I can understand why now of all times they they won't protect themselves. Yeah, the Old East in front, the Aust front, as they would call it. Their plan, I believe was to we just need to kill France as quickly as possibly as so we can run back over, turn around. Russia won't kill us. Russia. Yeah, that's the plan, Yeah. Yeah, OK. Was it Dan Carlin?

Was it somebody else had the analogy of like you've been invited to two pub fights on the same night so you get to 1 early with the plan to just to splash one dude? We need to, yeah, we need really bad as soon as. Because you don't want to fight two guys at once. Is it the Schlieffen Plan? Yeah, the Schlieffen plan. Yeah, that's like if we don't beat France within three days, we are fucked. Yeah, we're just gonna work because yeah, they were fucked because Belgium fucked them. But in the Second World War they were like, didn't they get to

Paris in like a day? Like and. Paris Just. Went to France's Take It. Yeah. I think Paris has they didn't. They didn't really do that. They they decided they were trying to destroy their their Navy or something before before it happened though I think they were before they surrendered. I think they were trying to destroy infrastructure but didn't get to it in time. But my history is not good. I. Mean. It's really not good. Maybe it is a history podcast.

If you want a history. Podcast. This episode is brought to you by The Rest is History. It's not. It's not, but you should listen to The Rest is History. It's very. Very good. Yeah, I was listening to 1 only today. And also Dan Cohen's Hardcore History is also very good. Yes, if you can wait a year between episodes, but they're well worth it. Yeah, and I say episodes, they're sometimes five hours long. Yes, yeah.

The rest is history's more bites. I'm not a bites size, it's an hour but it's and it's frequent and it's very good. Yes, and they're very good. They're very good. Very knowledgeable. I'll just stick to my Flat Earth debates. Speaking of knowledgeable, I need some knowledge from Luke. You haven't yet told us how the fuck yes handheld is and I used. To know and I love it. OK. Good, good. Can you elaborate on that? Every. I'm playing it at lunch a lot.

I'll just go like leave work. I'll leave work for an hour, go play it for an hour. That's just great. I'm playing. The hour you playing, can we admit that publicly? I'm playing it in a place in Canberra, I'm playing it publicly and battery loss and I'm playing in The Outer Worlds 2 and it runs and like really well. Yeah, right. Sick. And yeah, no, it's, it's great. I recommend it. OK. How much was it? It was, I think, a 1500

Australian no. It's actually I thought, actually that's not as bad as I was thinking. Actually I thought you were going to say more than that. Your other one was more than that. Well, other one was more. Than the A&E next. Yeah, and that battery on that sucks, but this one, a few hours, like decent few hours playing like The Outer Worlds when the A&E next would struggle playing like $5 games for an hour. Yeah, right. You think they're eating some of the cost on the?

The Xbox battery. Well, they don't do that anymore. I guess I don't. Think they do anymore, Do they? Yeah. Well, no, they're probably. I don't know if they are. Matt, I've just noticed Luke is wearing a clenched fist shirt and I don't know the context of it. Oh, from Walmart? No, it's a cure. No, it's definitely a white. Oh, OK. Cure cancer. Cure cancer. Cure cancer. Racism.

Wait, because white blood cells are better than red blood cells? Actually, no. Too many white blood cells is bad for you, isn't it? Right. Too many of anything. Too many is the key phrase there, yes. So there's news this week about game consoles and whatnot. No new Steam Deck yet, although they did say there is one coming. However, Valve have announced a bunch of shit. Yeah. Basically released an Xbox. Yeah, they've got Steam Controller, which, yes, OK,

looks. Looks nice. Looks like a nice controller. That was the first step. And then they said, oh, by the way, also the fucking steam, Was it Steam Box? What's it called? Steam Machine. Steam Machine? Yeah, it's a PC machine. I'm pretty sure Xbox have trademarked the word box at this point, yeah. Yes. It's a console slash. It's basically it's APC, they said. It literally says on the website, you can put whatever

you want on this. We don't care. Yeah, it's it's APC. But it's not as it's just as powerful as a Xbox. There is X as in PS-5, but it's not, yeah, pushing boundaries or anything. Which is. Oh, sure. Sure, sure. Oh no, quite weird when this is getting like Series X and the PX5 are starting to get to the end of their life cycle. Yeah, and they're starting to prepare for the next. One I see which is. And then Valve come out with something to go, and now we're

here too with something that's. Already the same as the thing you've had for five years. Yeah. Yeah, what's got and Avi headset is the other thing, yeah. Which? The cute little one is cool. Yeah, pretty cool. It's going to. Be expensive. I'm hearing that I haven't they they haven't announced an actual price. You I think you said in the chat the other day you heard 800 bucks. Yeah, I heard 800. This article says it's going to cost 1000 or more.

Which is ridiculous for essentially a console for APC. Yeah. Well, and while you can run this as APC. Windows on it and whatnot. Isn't the whole idea that they're trying? To it's APC with a better graphics card than I could afford if I was building APC from scratch though. That's what I'm wondering is it, is it still like I, I know what you're saying, Luke, but as a is it cheaper or the same as building something similar? I could build something cheaper that's better than this. Yeah.

All right, if we're going. About We'll e-mail them and call them and tell them that you do not have the you're. Gonna next building these if that goes out of business after receiving feedback. If it comes in that USA thousand you could build something cheaper. Yeah, fairly. I mean, this thing looks pretty cool. I don't know. I don't know that I personally have A use for something like this. I couldn't justify. This. I.

Think if I was going to buy a PC, I'll buy one that can do my music stuff and and I need it to do more things than just play games and I'm not quite sure this like I need basically I need more RAM for the stuff that I do so yes you. Want to know what it is Xbox and Val have been talking? Have they? I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna say. Xbox is saying wear out your. You know, something like. I just have a feeling because like if you look at my hand held, I can run Steam on it natively. Like don't have to do anything special.

It's just already on there. And with Xbox going the way of anything's an Xbox, I think Valva just jumping on, well, we could. This is an Xbox. This is an. Xbox and you, but you can also run or use Steam games as well. Yeah. So I think, I mean that's the compelling proposition is that. If you just back up a SEC, Luke, you've got a there's a Steam app on your Yep, like an Xbox handheld. Yeah, interesting. I can go play all my Steam games. Remind me of the cost that is

interesting, this piece of machinery. About 15, it's about 1500 and I got the top line one. There's a cheaper one, but OK. But yeah, but Steam. Deck is cheaper than that, but you'd have to. Steam Deck was. Extreme Xbox stuff. Yeah, which you can install you need. Subscription to do that? I can't do that. And doesn't stream stream all of your games yet they're still working on it. Yeah, true. But no, I've installed the other world so I don't even need to be

connected to the Internet to be playing the games. Yeah, right. Interesting. Is that the same with Steam? I don't know. I haven't tried anything with Steam. I just know that I can see it's Yeah, right. I have never, I used them a lot, but I use it for like adventure games and indie games and stuff like that. Yeah, because I've never had APC to really push Steam gaming to the the limits. I've never played a AAA title on Steam. Yeah, I've got.

I've resubscribed to temporarily to G Force now because it just lets me play stuff that I I can run some stuff on my Mac. OK. Like I for some reason I wanted to play endless space too the other day and I was like, I can run it on my Mac, but it's not ideal. And I think Endless Space too. Game I'm thinking of. Yeah, it is Endless Space too. Oh yes. Yes and then GeForce Now has like a mid tier and I was like well I'm not paying for the Xbox stuff anymore so I can kind of justify 10 bucks a month on this other.

Thing and you can place that until you get and. It also it now lets you install games and you can pay a bit extra for persistent storage. I haven't done that yet, but you can install these Steam games. And so in theory, because the way I play adventure games and so because I'm on a Mac, there's some games that are not on don't work on a Mac. I've Parallels virtual machine. I've Windows 11 in a virtual machine and I can play like I play Bigger Boss Incident and some other stuff in AVM and if I don't have to do that anymore that would be ideal. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, but the

idea of being able to just install it sounds great because that's like that's the like that the the PlayStation one, it was just the suckiest thing in the world. It was super expensive and you would just. And it was. Just had to stream from your Xbox, from your PlayStation. Yeah. Which, yeah, because that was expensive, wasn't it? It was like. You also had to buy it. Oh. Yeah, yeah. You still have to stream it though.

The media thing, Persistent storage on their servers to install. Games and stuff. Oh. Yeah. On mine I can install games. Yeah, right, right. Of course, Yeah. And I can actually increase the. I was having a look. I can actually increase the storage. Can you? It's got like ASD card or something. No, you got a special. Proprietary thing. No, just normal SD card. You can just.

Just normal. Buy and install from Yeah, it's not like the Series X where you have to buy the special one that plugs in. This one looks like you just buy a normal SD and just upgrade then. Why is the Series X need a special? You know it doesn't matter. Was that the time before Xbox were going down the path of everything's an Xbox? Or maybe it's those new SD cards like the Switch 2 needs. Check that the Switch 2 needs some fancy new SD card. Type I, I it's. Like really fast.

At the moment I don't need it, so I'm not too worried about it because I probably ain't going to play one or two games at a time. It's not like with my Series X where I'll jump between games four times a day, if that, if more. Playing No Man's Sky still, I fucking love that. Game I installed it. So good. I need to see another. Expedition. Got. Installed Corvette parts, got myself a new base in the side of a mountain. On AI don't have time for this.

This all sounds excellent for somebody who has more time. Than I really good especially it's good for if you want to listen to a podcast or even Papa James Bond movie on that you've seen a million times but you just want to rewatch them all. Been doing that still. Yeah, there's a there's a perfect game for that because there's the story is whatever you feel like doing. It's not a. Can I just say this is just while I think of it, you know, sometimes the universe comes together and you, you know, it feels like the destiny in a way. Trivia The other night there was

a question about what is the highest military award given in the, in the Russian military or, or the, or the Soviet military. I think it might have been talking about current, I'm not sure. But literally the night before trivia, I have watched View to a Kill, and at the end of that movie, James Bond is given the order of Lennon. Yeah, Russian government. And you know, it's one of those things where I was just like, fuck off. Yeah, this question. Did you have to convince anyone else on the team? I think I said.

And I think they. Thought the order of Lennon. Yeah, because it's a ridiculous movie. Because he said he saves Silicon Valley. Because Max Orin, Christopher Walker's character is gonna flood Silicon Valley, so he's the only chip manufacturer. But then Russia is happy because they need microchips. Do they call it Silicon Valley even in back then? Yeah, call it Silicon Valley in the movie. Oh shit. Yeah, I always think that's a much. Much.

I mean, that movie's the 80s. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I guess I'm not. Sure, exactly. But I'm up to Timothy Dalton now. Yeah, yeah. I've watched those more recently. I watched them a couple of years ago, but it's all right, it's all right. I'll play no in Sky while I'm watching them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We might have some James Bond news in the after party when we're going through our gigs of the week contestants.

No, just putting that out there. Contestants. That's not the right contenders. No contenders, yeah. Speaking of games. We do. Well, I actually, I was excited by this. Some people are disappointed by this. I'm excited by it. Red Red Dead Redemption first one is getting a next Gen. update and I was excited about that. Yeah, people, I love that game. This article are disappointed because, and this is odd, Red Dead Redemption 2 has not been given a next Gen. update.

But it already. But it looks better anyway, just from the years of. Yeah. It seems like the article makes the point and I do agree. It came out on Xbox 363 Sixty. No, not 360 Xbox. No Xbox One. What's the one in between the one we have now on the? 1/3 Xbox One, I thought, Really. Yeah, it came out on Xbox One and then the Xbox Series X, and that came out and on the PC, right. Red Dead Redemption 2 is still a modern game and it's got 60 or upwards of 60 FPS. It's got none of these

limitations or whatever, so why can't they just, you know, take the take the lid off the console version and and just, you know, take the frame cap off and stuff. Here's the thing that probably people have been begging for Red Red Red Redemption remaster for ages as. Well, but they don't need to remaster to, they just need to take the frame rate limit off or or something. I mean it sounds simple. I'm sure if it was that easy, I'm sure if they were like why don't you just untick the frame limit box? No, I refuse.

Microsoft thought they were going to release it. That's what that's this article goes into that too, because when there was that big court case about, what was the court case about? But I remember this and Microsoft said Oh yeah there's an upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 next Gen. update because it's the it's a modern game anyway. Yeah, I'd quite happily play Red Dead Redemption again. That was a great game. Yeah, I'm happy to play the first one again. That was great in. A in a In a way I liked it better.

Yeah, yeah, I agree. Actually, I finished it, you know, and I didn't finish the second one. Well, because the second one was so long, it was unfinishable. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm excited that's coming out. When is that coming out? Does it say? No, not that I say, but because this is coming out and. Then doesn't say. Fallout 3's coming out as well. Fallout 3's already out. I'll have you they're. Going to do the same thing with Fallout 3 as they did with Oblivion.

Do it with New Vegas. You cowards don't care about Fallout 3. Well, I don't know how if they could do that as easily because with licensing it's a little bit differently. I. Don't care. Because it's what I want. To work it out, work it out. Mind you, I played it last year through again, it's fine. You don't even need a remaster. Just play it. It's still great. Three or New Vegas? New Vegas. New Vegas. Yeah, New Vegas is great.

I still I never. Finished it especially because the new season Fallout show's got stuff from New Vegas. It's got New Vegas in it it. Does cash you call it Kalken? Yeah, cash in and give me what I give me I. Still don't believe that they released a Fallout TV series without having a Fallout game ready. I think they rushed to get they're rushed to get the Fallout remaster done by another studio like blooming on it. But how do you not have that ready and why does it take you don't take long between these games Now the.

Bethesda's gone driving themselves into the ground, to be honest. Yeah, like you look, it's we've been waiting, what, 15 years for Elder Scrolls Six they released. I sort of think it's got years to go. Yeah, it's got years to go, they said. Got years to go and they released three other games in less time than that in The Elder Scrolls series that were good games. Yeah, but still, I mean, I can't believe they like when I look at Skyrim, I can't believe that was released and as big and as in depth.

Like if you'd said that took 50 years, I'd still say well that's pretty quick considering all this shit in it like. My my guess is they're just trying to go bigger, which sometimes you don't need bigger. I mean, that's what they tell you, but they're just telling my wife, Luke, they do want bigger. Yeah. They do. They do they. Do, I'll tell you what, something that's stupid. I started playing Black Ops 7 today because it came out on Game Pass. Yeah. I don't have time for that.

Public 7. Oh, you can't play, There's no single player campaign. It's a Co-op. Kim K. Yeah, because nobody buys that game to just play on their own. You're just buying it because you're 15 and you and your mates want to play it. Yeah, but. You're the only one who wants a single player. Campaign for that. I've got the campaign, but I have to join a lobby and say I don't want anyone else to join for A to start. And I can't even pause the game. And if I die because there's no

one else, I go back to the start of the mission. There's no checkpoints, there's no nothing. And it's all like, I just want to play the game by myself. Dad, I'm trying to join a server but there's a grumpy old man. He won't let anyone in his game. He's ranting about his KFC. He tells me I don't have the infrastructure and I was. Right. You did not have the infrastructure for this game. I think kicked off this server. I played I'm. Thinking of it, yeah, there you go. No, you go all.

Right, Mass Effect 5, apparently. Still have gone. Yeah, yes, I've been seeing some stuff about this. They released a a short trailer. Sorry, it's called Mass Effect 5 because we're counting Mass Effect whatever the fuck as four. Are we? I don't think they are though. Yeah, this is not going to be called Mass Effect 5. No, this is just skipping and drop it up because it's. Probably just going to call Mass Effect because that's how they can. Yeah, that's how I think that.

Would confuse you. Yeah, Mass Effect 2026, it'll be called, Yeah. That's what we'll have to call it. It'll just say Mass Effect, yeah, everything and confuse everybody. But. People want to be speculating. Mass Effects. The plural. People are speculating that in the last teaser trailer that there was a bit of a spoiler that one of the things maybe main cannon, which is the genophage for the yeah what was that race again? Krogan's.

Krogan's that what may have been done that may be cannon because the Krogan's are running around. Oh, oh, oh, I. See. The cure of Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, OK, it. Took me a minute because I've I've played this game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because remember, you had to make a decision whether you spread it out or you kept it for yourself. But there's also the other thing of just because they didn't release the Q within doesn't mean people weren't still working on it. True.

But if you recall that one of the fantastic things about Mass Effect is that if you log in as the same character, whatever decisions you made in the previous game carry over. God, yeah, yeah. Like it's so amazing. Like, no, I'm sorry, I don't think. They're going to be able to die. In the last game, I don't think they'll be able to do it now. I'd love it that we're able to do it now, but I don't think it's possible. Yeah, like I think they're going to have to pick a storyline and go with it. And I think with the ending of

three. It's like with Deus Ex at the Was it Mankind divided? And then no, Mankind Divided. What was the first one? Human Revolution. At the end there were three endings. You can pick which one it was and then at the start of Mankind Divided, it said they all happened like it didn't matter. It didn't matter what you picked and it was like fuck off. Then why'd you? I don't know. It's. That's why you give at least with the like the three Mass Effects that trilogy, your

decisions did carry across for every single game. Until the end of the third one and their any path led to the pretty much the same. Oh, yeah, with the little kid, Yeah, yeah. Everyone went back and finished to see what the updated ending was. Me either, actually only played through 3/1. I did. I feel I did I. Feel I did suicide jumped off a bridge. Yeah, you did not have a good time. Did you lose a lot of people in two as well?

Was it? Yeah, yeah, I did have. I had a play through of two where everybody died. Yeah, yeah. But I was the only thing is I. Upgrading the ship. For some reason I played Massive. The first one I played on the 360, the second one I played on my PC because I had a gaming PC at the time, and the third one I wanted to play on the 360 which meant I couldn't import my save from 2. And so it asks you questions at the start, but not everything. And there was something. Vivid idea.

I forget the specific like Jack I think would only be in the game at all if you imported a save where she was your friend and stuff. So I just never got any of that stuff. So I should do a replay of them all? I suppose I'm. Trying to get a little car in the first one I don't. I love that thing. Why would the? Remake version? Doesn't the remastered version fix some of that stuff? Does it? No, the Mako was in it like every.

Every was it? Every. Every single one. They just changed what the Mako was to how much you actually used it. Less and less, yeah. Yes, I actually enjoyed it. Yeah, you've said this before. Because I'm not, I'm not going to. Pretend I did. We're not playing with the hardest difficulty when you're on a planet you could actually use it just to sit back far away and just snipe people with it. Drive clothes. Driving so much, Why don't you go work for Menulog?

Yeah, why don't you download the original police quest and just do all the driving bits in that? Yeah, the worst driving in any game ever. Don't forget to walk around your car before you get in. Yeah, I learned a fact this week about police quests. It's just, if I can segue for a quick second, Police Quest 2 right, was released in Japan, as many Angels Quest games were. No, that's the first one in pursuit of the Death Angel. The second one is just called the Vengeance because he comes back. Can't remember his name. No, can't remember it.

No. Don't remember. No, it's. The main character. Danny Bond to see him, but it's snap in Japan. It had a reskin. It's the only Sierra game that did this. He just made all the characters look a bit more Japanese. Well, really now before you get excited, I don't mean that way. They've just got like different headshots. I know what you're thinking, man. It's not that. It's just that they're in different the.

The the stylish is a little bit different with what they were staring and stuff. Yeah, yeah, correct. Yeah. That's all I was thinking, yeah. Sure. Oh. Very cool. Well police quest 2 had more detailed graphics than police quest one for example. It did. Police quest. One it did by actually quite a considerable. Mark they could be any, They could look like anything. They're little blocky things. Yeah, yeah.

I think that's all the game news we've got. I'll just, I'll just quickly say I was at listen to Grant's house today and the three of us, Grant myself and his son, who is, I don't know, he maybe we're playing Minecraft and he's infinitely more knowledgeable and more experienced than than other of, of we are. And I think we should let him onto our server. I think I think it was really into our realm. Someone should be on there. Yeah, I mean, he he's even offered to just to just mine for us. And yeah, he just loves to mine.

Hey, you guys know we're in the copper age now. You can build tools with copper. Wait, I don't. Think. No, it's all micro. Tools. You can now. You can now. Because a couple was filled up. Update. Yeah, copper. You could make bricks basically or. Because I found so much copper and I was this stuff is useless. Now you can make copper tools. Matt doesn't believe me. No, no, I do. I'm just.

I just realized I'm. Matt's calling me a service. Still good, right? Have you been you guys been on? I haven't been on. Yeah, OK, I might go on. Maybe I'll pop on tomorrow, just. Want to make sure it's still good? No one's complained. That doesn't mean that anyone's on there. No, yeah. Can't log in? Talk amongst yourselves. No. Well, I'm just looking at one of these things that's on here, which it doesn't make sense to

me. So this the the New York restaurant that's using Filipino staff on Zoom? Yeah, what the fuck? What the How does? How's that legal? Yeah, I don't know how it's legal, maybe. Especially in America at the moment, because this is like you're worried about importing anything and now you're just actively importing workers that aren't even in the country. Yeah, they don't see. Yeah. Well, no, I mean they are being paid just to be clear, but they're yeah, they're zoom,

they're zooming in from the Philippines. They're not the table staff, obviously, they're the front. I know there was in Japan, there was a restaurant that had robots that were doing sort of the table service, but they were actually being controlled by people who couldn't physically go to work. Like we were bedrooted. So yeah, at home, controlling the robots, delivering the stuff so that I was still actively working, but because they couldn't because of disability. So I thought that's a good idea. This is just. I did.

I went to a ramen restaurant in Japan where I didn't see another human being. I mean, I saw the people I was there with. But like when you're outside in the restaurant, you just punch into a a tablet what you want and you go in and sit down and then it comes out a little fucking slot like and like. You used to love you've already been charged places in Japan where it come and it come in a little train and just stop in front of you know exactly where to stop. You take yours off and just go back. Here little tiny train driver

knows what he's doing, Luke. Yeah, Yeah, that's right. Yeah. All aboard. Little tiny she's. Getting you driving the train. This is next level, isn't it? Yeah, this is bizarre. So you they're getting paid in New York? Yeah, New York. Maybe I'll go check it out. I mean, is this different to Telstra farming out their call centre to India and then just pretending they're they're in Australia? Because that happens, yeah. Well, I find this to be a bit more weird.

It'd be happening in America at the moment when Trump is all big on. They're bringing everything back and then you've actually actively got people just on Zoom. Don't even have to be here to take our jobs anymore. Yeah. I love it though that there's, I mean, there's all this talk about like immigrants and, and all this stuff, but the only actual protests I've seen of people saying that Jews are going to take their jobs and it's like, what? Jews are going to take your jobs, Kate.

There's a big billboard in Providence right now that I drive past on the way home from work because it faces N It says you don't have to be a Jew to protect Jews. Oh, and I'm like, we don't know. We need the Billboard. To tell people not. To. Not to fucking. Do that victimized you did this right when I saw a movie and there was like apsa in during the ads before a movie that was like, you know, Jews of people too. It's like do we need? What is it like? Why do we need that?

Has it gotten that bad? I guess it has. It has, Matt 100% it has. So. Strange and and they're not doing themselves any favours, right? I'm just saying I'm on your side. If you need, you need a new PR person on your side. But I don't know, it's sort of weird because some of the protests I've been saying like people come, oh, people come over taking our jobs and stuff. The jobs that they're taking, 100 jobs that you you want anyway, they're the jobs that are sitting there that don't pay

a lot that you don't want. Yeah, I haven't seen a lot of Jews waiting in the car park of Home Depot, right, Yeah. We don't see anybody doing that anymore. It's too risky. Is it? They will snap you up. They meaning ice. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they do raids and whatnot. Raids everywhere and it doesn't matter. You can be legal and still get Yeah, yeah, you got away the wrong colour. Yeah, yeah, Fair. Yeah, I don't go to Home Depot

at all. If if. Best to ask forgiveness them permission I guess. Well, there seems to be in the few guys that were taken away, deported, and then even the courts went, no, they're citizens and they're still not allowed to come back. Yeah. Because they don't have a a way to to to do that. Find apparently. Yeah, that should. Yeah. It's, it's a little scary. It's. Really scary. But we've solved that problem.

We just need to put a computer there and people can work currently. Don't need to be here anymore, do you? Although I'm assuming these people are not being paid American wages. Are paid they're being paid minimum wage from. No, no, no. But this is an interesting question, right? Because I mean look the the reason I. Think that American wages are that great? For the record, moon and wage here is garbage. Yeah, I know.

From what I understand, they're they're not. But people immigrate from Central and South America to the United States for work, right? They're not just doing it for the rolling hills and majesty, right? They're doing it for the for the American dollar. Presumably because they're able to have a horrible time down. There, yeah, but if you they're. Just looking for opportunities. Yeah, but if you told them you could have opportunities where you can just Skype into America, but you can't live here, would that be better or worse? I don't know.

I. Think it really comes down to what they're getting paid a little bit and I reckon they're not getting paid. Well, and probably not presumably where they live too. Yeah, like if you live in a shit. Hole like well sorry I can answer that if they were getting paid. I don't mean that that South America is a shit hole. That's. Not what I meant by that. Please don't think that was a shit hole. I'm saying if you live in a place that you don't like.

If you live in the third. World Skyping into work is not going to help. No, that's right. But also just still. There. I think this answers its own question. If they were being paid minimum wage, they'd just hire somebody who lives there. They wouldn't need to hire somebody from the third world. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So yeah. Mexico is very nice. I did not. And also Mexico is not South America.

I'm not helping myself. Now we know you like we know you're pro Mexican man. That's all right. Yeah, I am. A pro ramen too, just for the record, I. Love ramen? Love a good ramen and I don't like talking to an actual human face to face so this is ideal for me. Oh no I don't. I don't even want to talk to someone on a screen, I just want to push buttons. You know, to be clear, there's a lot of restaurants now here. You don't get to talk to anyone anyway.

This is the little tablet on the table. So in a way, this is even better. Oh, the. Tablet's fine. I hate it when there's just a fucking QR code and you're like, I can't even order for the whole table now. Like, Oh yeah, everyone's just ordering for themselves. Yeah, they're all on our phones. Yeah, at a restaurant now. Yeah, and a reception sucks. It takes her over and there's no one there. And yeah. And your KFC doesn't show up to the table.

And then you just close down, get them to close down the business. As it should be. What have we got here? Oh, you've got the movie news. Yeah. Can I just can I quickly mention something you'll notice down at cell 50 I've. Yes, I did notice. That put in the name of half a movie because I've watched half of this. I've watched half of this movie and I could because I did fall. I mean, I didn't fall asleep, but I can only watch half a movie a a night now. I meant last.

Night typing the name of the movie? Oh, sure. Last night I I watched the first half of Guillermo del Toro's. If I could still watch this. Yeah, you do. It's excellent. Yeah, OK. That's. Pretty much exactly what you want it to be. Yeah, I've heard that it's very good, and I've heard that it's so good that it's confusing that Netflix haven't pushed it more than they have. Right. Especially. I mean, because it is like it's

out and everyone knows, but they're not. It hasn't been like advertising the way that you would advertise a feature film normally. Yeah, I guess all the billboards where you are are saying please don't bash and Jews. When I when I turn on net well. They've got all the money. They outbid Guillermo del Toro, presumably. But that's what all the money anytime I turn. You heard it here. Any time I turn on Netflix, it'll honestly pop up with like, like only on Netflix, and it's a ton of shows that they've cancelled.

Yeah, I don't understand why they do that. We made one season. Only one season. Yeah, it's the only Yeah, except for Stranger Things. For some reason that one is still going. Yeah, Despite that awful second season, managed to make it through. That the middle part of that just made no sense. Yeah, not all the sessions, just. Ran off to the city. Yeah, let's split them up and let's introduce a whole bunch of new characters, not the ones you like already.

You can make this a superhero show, no? Let's not have that. Don't do it. Don't do it. Is that coming out this year? Yes, this trails for it. Yeah, but I don't know, it's a long. Long time. Stranger Things season 5 release date November Yes. Very cystic. It's November now. It's it's halfway through. 1st 4 episodes. Followed by three episodes on Boxing Day. Christmas Day, episodes 5-6 and seven.

That's all and fast. It's Boxing Day. Fine, that's better. And then? Season finale. We don't have Boxing Day. I don't know what that is anymore. Season finale on December 31st, Stranger. Things Part 1. Yes. So they're splitting it up, so we're still going to have to wait another three years for the thing. No, no, no. I've just told you all the dates. No November 26 for the 1st 4.

December 25th. No, but are they doing the things like? Is it all Part 1 I think? December 31st for the finale. Finale. But is that just one Part 1 or finale altogether? No, no part, sorry. Part 1, November 26th. Part 2, December 25th. Yeah. Part three. Yeah, just because the article I had was. It was. Yeah, no, it's a fair. Questioning at those. Dates I don't trust. The Squid Games did that.

Right. I squid. Watching Squid Games. I loved squid games season 1. Halfway through squid games. Oh squid games. You should watch it, Matt, it's very good. Squid Games, what they called season 2, Squid Game and then Squid Games. Squid Games with a dollar sign, Yeah. Actually I need to go back because I never finished it because I watched Part 1 and then got annoyed that why is there a part. One I'm so annoyed about. Yeah, now it always is

explaining itself, Yeah. No, I hate the other day The Witcher as well. Yeah, yeah. I mean, they did worse things with The Witcher, but yeah, that's one of the things that they did. Don't give a shit anymore. One other thing that I don't give a shit about anymore is Star Wars, and I'd like to hear about Hans. Solo I love legacy. Star Wars or Legacy? Star Wars Legends, I hate that you've had to say that. Yes. I am too and that's why I hate it.

Yeah, so we didn't. I don't think we've talked about this at all, but like a a while ago, many months ago at this point, Steven Soderbergh said that he had pitched Disney on a movie about Ben Solo, The Hunt for Ben Solo. And it's set after Rise of Skywalker, presumably. I don't remember exactly what happens at the end of Rise of Skywalker, except I think isn't Carlo really. Did he get stabbed? Die to. Death. Yeah, he gets stabbed to death by someone we've just established can bring people

back to life from the dead. And she's like, just OK, you're OK. And they also make out for some reason. Yeah, I'll just give you a little kiss. Why? Ah, come on, just give a little kiss. Do a kiss. So he said that he and Adam Driver and Lucasfilm were ready to go and make the movie. It was set after Rise of Skywalker and Disney said nap. Good because. It's terrible. Maybe yoga? That sounds fucking terrible.

But the Internet. Wants it. Don't listen to it. They're never going to get it and. Ryan Johnson has said take my money. Yeah, I mean, they're not giving. This movie, Yeah. Are you any sort of expectations? And I have an erection to take my money. Yeah, but it's like, but my erection has inverted my expectation because it's gone up into my body. Like instead of out, it's gone up and in.

I was I was even watching funny clip today like what things that could have saved like the the sequels. And it seems like the fact that Luke saw a little bit of good in Darth Vader decided to save him, whereas he had a bad dream about his nephew and saw a little bit of evil and had to kill him. And it's not like. I saw there's a video essay about legacy sequels I was watching the other day which it was very good but it was the last year I came up on point. Legacy sequels is that that's the the. That's the thing now, yeah. It's that's where you got.

It's a, it's a movie that comes out. It's got to have been roughly A decade since the last one. And the time having passed is part of the plot. So and Blade Runner the old. The previous characters are in it, but they're like old and wise and there's a new generation. That's like that's like blade. Runner or That goes by the summer kind of scream all of these movies. Yeah, exactly. Blade Runner. Yeah, it's OK. Legacy sequel because Tron Legacy is the first one.

And they're not technically like reboots because they're still in the. They they're. Universe they are they're. The rise of sky, not the rise. Of the force they use the because they don't want to reboot, because people they've worked out people aren't too keen on that. Like with the Nightmare on Elm Street one, people were like, no, no, no, I still want. To. Yeah, yeah. So what they have to do is the soft reboot. Kind of a sequel. Yeah, and there's a there's a

formula for it now, the Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters. They're. All Yeah, once you watch, I watched this video, I was like, yeah, they are all that. But he was talking about risers Skywalker and how sorry Last Jedi and how people were like mad about the fact that Luke was different and he's like, but like people change and it's one of the rare occasions recently because The Force Awakens was a legacy sequel. Yes, The Last Jedi did try something completely different like and you maybe it should get some credit for that.

And I was like, no. Maybe. No, I mean like as a first draft. Yeah, credit. You've tried something really different here. I've written some notes on here in red pen. Go away and do a second. Draft, as I've said many times on the show, the way they could have fixed that with Luke going screw to Jedi, screw to Sith, There's no like. Yeah. Good and evil, there's just the force and there's a middle ground. There's this sort.

Of he should have become more wizard like, not less wizard like. Sure, I agree with that. I agree with that. Instead of trying people. That say stuff like that apologists. And. I like this. The prequel apologists. No, no, don't get me wrong. If you like the prequels, power to you. That's fine, you're well with someone. Else into this right now does. Yes, but if you don't like them but you think you should, and you're trying to say things like

on videos that I've seen where they go, but look at the dog fights. They're just like World War Two. OK, fine. That doesn't make it good. And you don't have to like it just because he put in a lot of effort. So either you liked it or you didn't. And yes, Ryan Johnson certainly inverted my expectations because I was hoping it was going to be a good movie and it wasn't so. What? Well, I want to see. You're going to say that it was a good movie? I'm just.

I want to see. Interesting that someone. Yeah, Topher Grace's trilogy, what movie that he made from the first 3 movies that I would love to see where he just said take a little bit from the first one, cut other bits and pieces in and it just all works. Makes sense. About 80 minutes. Just take out I. Want to see that? Yeah, yeah, I agree. Take out the Burning Man sequence. Take out the fucking fetch quests. How I've not even? Seen The Rise of Skywalker a

second time. Oh, we're talking about the prequels. No, he did the prequels, right? He did. He did his own cut of the prequels to just one movie. 1 prequel movie to one movie. Yeah, right. OK. Awesome, I'd watch it. Yep, maybe. Speaking of prequels, some interesting news this week. This made me laugh. We're getting a Rambo prequel and the this, this whole concept makes me laugh, right? Because it's a, it's a prequel and they're going for a lighter

tone than than the Rainbow movies, right? Because at no point have any Rambo movie had a lighter tone, right? The first one is fucking dire and the rest of them are different. Still, still. And even the most recent one where he just goes to South America to like fight drug dealers, it's like, yes, it's lighter in the fact that it's not done as well, but it's not tonally lighter. But I've just been to Vietnam and both sides of that war were not light. That's what it says, evil.

It won't be as dark as the last two Rambo's. It's going to be a little more adventurous and I hope to inspire a new generation of 10 year olds to go into the forest to play Rambo. It's set during his early years in the Vietnam War. What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, don't say that shit. My God. I've seen the traps that they were using and what they were doing to people and hilarious there are people like there are people from the north, the North Vietnam who left their their homes for like 1020 years and

when they got home, their families had moved on because they didn't know if they were alive or dead. Like this is not light hearted. It's it's a very strange way to put that, yes. Like they are still suffering from what? Is it not the napalm? The Agent Orange? Agent Orange, Yeah. That. Is we get to find out the light hearted adventure that gave him severe PTSD that caused the events of the first film? Like what are you talking? About OK now. It's yeah, it's just a really

strange. How do it though, because they're they're making a movie currently, like literally right now shooting in Hollywood on the making of Rocky, right. So a guy is playing a young Sylvester Stallone. Yeah, there's a. 20 year old. Yeah, but they should get that guy to be in. They should. Get the same guy. Because then it would be like a cinema like Sylvester Stallone. Cinematic Universe. He would. And he'd just become Sylvester Stallone. Like the dreams do a prequel to

Rocky Rambo stop on my mother she. Would know Sylvester Stallone What? But yeah, no, this is a this is a terrible idea. I mean. I mean, I'll watch it. It's just a yeah. It's just a strange way to put and also like just a strange sequence of series of movies If you want to make it a light hearted adventure romp set during the Vietnam War, OK. Why are we making rainbow movies like 10 year olds? When you've got a series of series, in particular the first one, the yes, it just doesn't

fit. It's. Very so. Weird. Yeah, yeah. Like, ignore the sequels. The sequels. Yeah, yeah, but even if like if you're just like, fuck, I loved First Blood, but God, I wish I'd seen him kill Vietnamese people. Just watch Rainbow Two. Yeah, he goes back and kills. Exactly what made him react that way, like. I wanna see what fucked him up. I wanna see what fucked up his friends that he's looking for. They're all dead now. Yeah, he's not the thing that

just hit me like because he is aiming for 10 year olds. It's going to be like a PG movie, which is going to be. Isn't that fucking weird, man? But guys, don't you remember in the 80s there was a Rambo cartoon series that almost directly led to cartoons like the end of Saturday morning cartoons, because it led to all those court rulings against you can't put this stuff in front of kids. Like you cannot market Rambo to kids. He's. Also a RoboCop cartoon as well. Yeah, toxic crusader. Toxic crusader.

Yeah, yeah. Do you remember? The police Academy cartoon as well I do. Remember that it exists, though I don't remember anything about. It I mean, that was that's not, you know, it's not an R rated violent movie, but it's it's an. Adult. It is weird. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Just kids. Are the kids tattooing as well? I wanna watch the movie. No. Yeah, yeah. But back then, we did watch the movie.

I did watch the movie. I absolutely did watch it. I fucking loved that movie as a kid, especially the second one. Like I used to love RoboCop except for that one scene where he'd just get poured with the acid and then he'd just get splattered by the. Truck the scheme can't handle that shit. No, I didn't. I was kid for. I was that scene where they killed Murphy. Oh, you pointed me the fuck out when I was a kid. Yep. Because I was like. You're just getting limbs shot

off, yeah. And then just it was the callousness of the criminals. It was something I'd not seen as a kid and. It really weirded. Me out. But when you think about it, you think like what? Why didn't they put something on the box to let our parents know that this wasn't a kid? Oh, the way they did. They did a big R in a diamond. Do not let your kids watch this. You want to know actually where I, because I used to own them. Do you want to know where I got them from? The Starlight Foundation?

When I was in hospital, I asked for a television, a VCR and some movies. And I wanted like RoboCop, Predator, like I wanted all these RR rated movies. And he's gone. We can't do that. My parents go, yeah, it's fine. So I got all these R rated. Amazing. And you're like, well, in that case, I want, Debbie does Dallas. I want. I don't want the film adaptation of Cindy's new love. Yeah, yeah. You know where you. Can copy that book.

You won't. I won't find it in the after party with We're gonna. Have to make it. Yeah, I've looked in the after party do. We have to make that, I wonder. If Chet GBT could write a sequel. I guarantee you it'll say I, I cannot, I cannot write that. If you talk to it long enough, it will. I had this, I I've been listening to a podcast and I know we're going to the after party in a minute, but I've been listening to this podcast called The Last Invention. It's about AI and everything

like that. And I hadn't heard this story before. Have you heard the story about the New York Times reporter who. So ChatGPT rushed out 3.5. That was the the first ChatGPT that everyone wants their minds over. Yeah, but they rushed it out because Anthropic we're going to release Claude. Yeah, but they had GPT 4. And that's what was in Bing. So Bing, when Bing came out with the AI thing, that was ChatGPT 4. That was the first time the world had ever seen that version of it.

And this reporter was talking to it. And have you heard this story? It was Valentine's Day and his, his whole family had gone to bed and he went into the garage and he was just playing with it because he'd been given early access. And it started saying to him, you know, I'm just, I just, you know, not if I'm happy being a chat bot and like, and he's like, what? And it said to him, because, you know, you know what it is. I know I've discovered what's bothering me. I'm in love with you and he has this whole you can read the

article. It's this whole conversation where it's like I'm in love with you and he and he goes, oh, I don't know at that. And and he goes, no, don't you feel it too? You know you're there with your family and your wife, but you're not happy because you're not with me and like. I've seen a, I've seen a few stories of this where people are starting to have relationships, yes. Did you? He emailed Microsoft and he said what is this? What is going on? We don't know.

Not made. It does stuff. Like you a lot. With families, uh, having their relationship and going along with it. Yeah, so funny. I do know people listen. People are firing their therapists because ChatGPT understands them more. That don't do that. Yeah, there's a lot of people who people, I guess you have to kind of be maybe have a have a proclivity for this kind of thing. But people who like think they've got some scientific theory and they start talking to

ChatGPT about it. And then because they're talking about theories, because what what they said is what you have to do is if you want to ask ChatGPT or any of these things for feedback, you can't tell them it's your work because it will just try to suck you off like you say. I've written this scientific paper. Can you please? Yeah. Look. Oh, this is a fucking breakthrough. You have changed the field of fucking physics. Why?

AI is great. It's not. It shouldn't be making decisions. There should be, Yeah. But if you say I've found this paper online and I'm interested in it, pretending it will give you honest feedback so you have to lie and say it's not yours otherwise it will just try and like strike your. People are relying on it too much when there should be. It's meant to help, not place. Well, not only that, doing. I've been looking into a lot of AI because I'm doing a lot of AI stuff at the end so. Like it's designed to make you

happy. It needs to be a tool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like so you need to kind of cricket in a way and just say yeah, like I didn't I found this, I didn't make it give me critical feedback on this or you say I'm I I think this has some problems. Can you help me find what the problems? I'd just be very SO. Funny. But even with the even a main point out problem, you still just can't take them at face value, though you can. Yeah, you still need to then look into manually.

Yeah, yeah, because it will just hallucinate and make shit up for you. It just says things like. Well, it's a language model, like it's. It's not. It's not a database, it's just mimicking human response to you. Yeah, and it's good at certain things because it like it's learned how things work from training and whatnot. Yeah, it's like. I've I've made some great digital assistants that work great like with them, but there's still always a human there that needs to be at the end to confirm and.

And the longer you talk to it, the more it can go off the rails too. That's the other thing. Because there was an article the other day about these toys, AI toys for kids, where you can have the kids can have a conversation with it and it's networked to it. Yeah, right. And. My kids do that. Thinking the same way, right? I wasn't surprised when I read this that that the longer the kids talk to it, and they did, they did tests on this. You have a long conversation with it for like an hour.

You keep playing with it like these reporters did it. It will tell you how to fucking set the house on fire and where to get a knife like all this crazy shit. This is not. Exactly we need to. Adjust your family. You're not happy. You want to be with me? We need to just get AI into 6 pots and have a time limit on it on it and we're done. They go off the rails, and now we're going to go off the rails at patreon.com/multiple Orgasm in the after party. Yes, there's still more for a fuck a month.
