Gaming Has Lost Its Mind With Pokémon Heists, Stop Killing Games, Glitch, Forza Bans & Subnautica Drama

This week on the NickMoses05 Gaming Podcast, we break down one of the wildest weeks in gaming news. We start with Gaming Gone Wild, covering Pokémon card burglaries, illegal gambling arcade raids, smash-and-grab break-ins, and a classic game store burglary involving Pokémon cards worth way less than the damage caused.

Then we get into the latest Stop Killing Games updates, including California’s Protect Our Games Act and what it could mean for digital ownership, refunds, live-service shutdowns, and the future of games players paid for.

We also look at Glitch, a new TikTok-style gaming platform built around instant browser play, social discovery, and low-friction game access, plus whether a platform like this can actually work in a world dominated by Steam, Game Pass, YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok.

Dude, I Got the Munchies returns with Costco chicken tenders, Taco Bell’s Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza, Krispy Kreme’s Orange Dreamsicle doughnut, Keebler’s Marshmallow Fudge Stripes, Nerds x Mother’s Cookies, and the Washington Nationals’ viral hotdog fries.

Let me go ahead and get y'all pulled up right here so I can see what y'all are talking about too. I don't like to leave y'all out. We get a lot of people tuning in from TikTok and they hate to be left out. So, Cena, what's going on, Cena? Cena, I see you. I see you, Cena. It just took a second. All right, I see you though. So, nonetheless, gaming going wild. If y'all don't know what gaming going wild is about, it is our, I want to say hottest segment, but choose your fate. I'm not gonna lie, and numbers-wise, it's killing it. But gaming going wild is not far behind and it's catching up very quickly. We are doing everything through restream now, no matter if you are viewing in landscape vertical, you should be able to view everything. We are switching around titles. You notice you don't see the titles at the bottom anymore. We want to make things uh more convenient for everyone. So now we have tickers. Dun dun dun. Who gives damn? All right, anyways, okay. Game and gone wild where we cover video game crimes that typically are happening recently. We don't want to cover games that's been happening a long time ago. That's not it, that ain't what it's about. This is about covering things that are recent. So, nonetheless, we want to get into our first story so we can go ahead and kick this off. Resite. Okay, let's go ahead and pull this up here. And this first story is a juicy one. All right, we're gonna go ahead and add and everybody let me know if you can see this properly on screen. Okay, bingo. No matter if you are vertical or horizontal, you should be able to see this video clearly. Clearly. I'm glad you can see it. So, what was supposed to be a normal Friday morning for an Indianapolis game store turned into a costly break-in involving thousands of dollars of Pokemon cards, according to IMPD, the burglary happened just before 6 a.m. on Friday, May 8th at Grandmaster Games, and this is in Southern Plaza shopping complex. All right, this is on the south side of Indianapolis. You do not know. So the store owner, Alex Bradshaw, yes, Alex, we're gonna shout you out here, said he received an alert on his phone while the break-in was happening. Yes, so he got a notice immediately when the break-in was happening. When he checked the security camera, he saw someone moving through the store, and he did what anyone else would do. He got up and started heading to the store. Now, investigators say the suspect got away with roughly 30 to 40 graded Pokemon cards, also known as slabs. The total value of stolen cards is estimated to be between 10,000 and 15,000 damn dollars. Now, one of the more interesting details, though, of this one is that the suspect reportedly did not take cash from the register at all. Nope, didn't even look at it, didn't even take a second thought. According to the store, the person mostly targeted just the graded cards and some other cards from other display cases, but no cash from the register at all. Left it alone. Bradshaw said it appeared the suspect knew what they were looking for. Bradshaw felt like there was an inside job going on. The situation could have been even worse. All right. The owner said the suspect originally tried to access a display case containing cards worth up to $50,000, but unfortunately was not successful at all. All right. I guess this would be fortunately, all right, in this case. So it wasn't successful, okay? After the break-in, Grandmaster Games posted about the incident online. They calling it a symptom of a broken society and saying they hoped the money would help the person. All right, they really did. They hope that it would help the person enough to keep them from doing something like this ever again. They don't want anyone else to have to go through something like this again. The store said it planned to stay open while cleaning up the damage, replacing the glass, asked customers to continue supporting the business through this disaster. So, are you gonna continue supporting the business? I think so. I think everybody is going to continue supporting. Why what else would you do? Now, this also came during the same week. Another Southside Indianapolis game store, old school outposts, reported a separate Pokemon card theft. Now, there is video for it. I'm not gonna pull it up now, okay? But that theft was involving around $100 to $120 worth of cards. So you can see while I'm not putting while I'm not pulling that video up. It ain't even worth it. Dude was going through some cards. That's like if you brought your homie to your house and he's looking at your your car collection. Oh, that's cool. And he slide one in his pocket. Like that's how that one went, okay. This is much more dirtier. The bigger picture is clear in this one, okay. Pokemon cards are not collectibles anymore, folks. They are a money trap, they are a ticket to you getting robbed. That's all that's happening everywhere. This is across the United States of America. They have become high-value items, and for local game stores, that means inventory behind the glass. Yes. The stuff that you treat like jewelry, electronics, cash, you're gonna have to treat this the same way. There's no other way. IMPD says Grandmaster Games keeps investigating along with police on this case, and they're looking to get to the bottom of it. What do you guys think? I'm gonna tell you right now the fact that Bradshaw knew it was an inside job. I have to take a man for his word, especially when it's his business getting robbed. I'm sorry. Let's go ahead and get Bradshaw in. I think he can look at the guy where he's walking. There is someone that either told them exactly where to go, or that might be an individual that was an employee, exploit uh ex-employee. A lot of times you have these inside jobs or burglaries that happen with people who were actually more familiar with the place than you think. Unfortunately. Let's move on to the next one. Like I said, we got a hot show today. I can't I can't even mess around with y'all today. All right, and let me get to the chat. I don't want to miss an okay. DJC Money, what's going on, DJC Money? Dap me up, Harry Knuckles and all. Great to see you, sir. Tune in for a fire show. Anyone who wants to jump in, we will be bringing in guests towards the end. I would love to hear what you have to say about any topics or choose your fate at the end. So the link is there, okay? And for those listening on the podcast, you can always comment what you feel. All right, let's go ahead and switch this out to the next one. Hopefully, everything looks great. I haven't heard anything about the look, no one's complained. Seems like the ticker is going across the bottom perfectly. All right. So, and also that video, I don't know if it looped. I should have looped the video. That's kind of that was my fault. Yeah. So nonetheless, this video is gonna loop. The video was done. I I guess apparently I didn't loop the video. So nonetheless. Uh yeah, I told you I've been out, I've been out a long time. Leave me alone. Okay, what was advertised as an arcade? Yes, as a nice, peaceful arcade. You could be a grown, you know, 64-year-old couple and go here and play some nice video gaming. Yes, it was advertised as an arcade, but in East Charlotte, they are now being targeted as the center of an illegal gambling investigation. Charlotte Mecklenburg, and I hope I got that right. No, no, no, no. Let me let me let me pronounce that right. Charlotte Mecklenburg, ah, see, I got you there. Okay, Charlotte Mecklenburg police raided 999 Arcade on East Independence Boulevard on May 12th after a month's long undercover investigation. Now, according to court records, officer seized nearly $38,000 in cash. It's a lot of money. Dozens of gambling-related devices, accounting records, so that's gonna really hurt them, security camera DVRs, and two firearms. The inventory reportedly included 62 fish gaming electronic boards, 24 slot machine gaming boards, and 16 sweepstakes hard drives.

unknown 13:36

Damn.

SPEAKER_00 13:40

That's rough. Investigators say the operation had been on their radar since late 2025. They've been watching them slowly creeping. And when police were told about a possible illegal casino operating, they jumped on it. They said, What on Independence Boulevard? So during undercover visits, officers said they even saw people putting money into the machines, playing the casino style games, and receiving cash payouts. And I know y'all might be saying, who cares? Right? But let's let's just unpack. One of the games mentioned in The Warren was a fish game. Now, these are gambling style machines where players can shoot fish on the screen. We all love playing these type of games where you can bing, being bing and possibly win something. So, yes, you can shoot fish on the screen and can win money. Yes, this is stuff that gamers would love. We would love a place like this, right? Well, guess what? Apparently, Mecklenburg, Charlotte do not. All right. So, depending on your shots, it just means the more you shoot, the more money you get. North Carolina Supreme Court has ruled these types of fish games illegal since 2022. Round two fight. Yes, these fish games have been illegal since 2022. So, according to the warrant, investigators also found none of the gaming machines displayed the required federal gaming device tax stamps that they all should have. We a lot of us have played those games in the arcade where you got that federal logo that popped up on your arcade game, right? They need to have those logos. We don't see any. Now, another major part of the investigation involved armed security at the business. They were having guys strapped ready to clap in case stuff went down. And I don't think that's too bad. I think hiring armed security is uh is frowned upon a lot of times, depending on how it's handled. The mob does it, they get away with it. All right? This this small business do it because they want to make sure they don't get anyone robbing them. And look what happens. And I don't know if they was part of the mob, so don't, you know. But court records say an armed security guard connected to the arcade had previously spoken with CMPD, yes, about opening another arcade location. My man told everything, y'all. The security guard spoke to CMPD about opening another arcade location. And during that conversation, police allegedly told him the operation was illegal and warned that it could lead to felony charges. They told the dumbass. Investigators say the guard continued working at the 999 arcade even after the warning. He didn't even care. My man just kept working. But during later undercover visits, officers reported seeing firearms near the security area. They're flagging and clocking every damn thing, including a long gun during one visit and a pistol during another. So they got a rifle size, maybe. Police said the business continued operating despite earlier warnings. The raid ended. This is what we all want to know. With cash, game and equipment, accounting records, security footage, firearms. It's all gone. It's all being taken as evidence. It's a wrap. Once they start getting electronics, it's done. It all has been taken as evidence. The case continues, and this adds to ongoing enforcement against illegal gambling arcades. Now, this is in Charlotte, but I can tell you illegal gambling arcades for mom and pop shots are happening all over. And it's a big thing, y'all. It's a big thing. I'm not gonna lie. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Okay, hopefully I get this right. All right, I think we're good. We're gonna go ahead and switch and replacing anybody. Let me know. Sound okay. Does everything sound okay? Anything with the video, you know. It seems like we're good. Everything's been going and flowing nice and smooth. Okay, y'all. This is my side of town. Y'all, I couldn't wait to talk about it. My side of town, yo. Chicago police right now are investigating because there was a smash and grab that was caught on camera at a cannabis store at a South Loop early morning on Monday. Now, I know a lot of people might be saying, why do you care, Nick? You talking about a cannabis store. Well, Chicago police are investigating because these places are breaking in and targeting video gaming machines at these establishments. And this one was a cannabis store in the South Loop, and they targeted this on early Monday morning. Now, this was according to Fox 32. I'm gonna give them the credit. I went to Fox for this one. I ain't gonna, you know, you gotta give it up. All right, the break-in happened around 3:40 a.m. at the Grasshopper Club in the 0100 block of East Roosevelt Road. Now, surveillance video reportedly show white SUV pulling it a sidewalk before the crime happened, and at least three people dressed in black got out with one suspect striking the front window, like you've seen on screen. Now, that was with an object that looked like it was a pretty sharp and heavy object. He was striking it over and over against the window before eventually shattering the glass. And you know, when the glass eventually shattered, the man ran straight in. Now, police said one person went inside the business while others stayed near the vehicle and collected items being passed through the broken window. They were acting like the chain gang. Uh uh, you know, I don't know what the hell. So the guys did not ever walk in the business. I guess they thought that was going to cover them somehow. But they passed items through the business directly to them. Investigators said it's still unclear though what was taken from the store because no suspects have been arrested. Police have not released detailed descriptions. It's almost like they're hiding something. The store's owner told Fox 32, the same group he believes is connected to another overnight break-in in South Loop as well. And this was in Pilson. And also another in Bridgeport. My man is saying they're targeting areas all over. Now, police have not confirmed. Now, let me go ahead and loop the video. There we go. I had to loop the video for you guys. My fault. Forget about looping the video. We gotta keep the video looped, you know what I'm saying? So, police have not confirmed any connection with all the different businesses, so they're not even gonna put that connection together. So I don't want people to think, oh my god, they targeted everyone. No, but the same report also highlighted the break-in in Blue Island. Burglars, burglarers went inside of Janet's Gym Gaming Cafe, and this is in the historic lyric theater. I know a lot of people don't know about these areas, but these are a lot of historic locations. So there was a break-in in Blue Island where burglarers had targeted Janet's Gym Gaming Cafe. Now, inside that was I'm gonna just go ahead and let you watch on screen. Like, this is crazy, y'all. They just go through all these places. So, nonetheless, inside of there, the suspects smashed through the front entrance and went directly towards the gaming machines instead of moving through the rest of the business. A lot of these things are the same case. They break inside of these cannabis stores, these gaming cafes, these different mom and pop businesses that have video gaming cafes, and they're targeting. Oh, excuse me, these video gaming machines, and they're targeting these video gaming machines. This is happening all across the South Suburbs. So you guys hear about ramming places? Well, forget that. Pokemon cards and video gaming machines are the new targets. Are people not seeing this? Are police not like, are they not putting their just do where it needs to go? Because I'm telling you, all you have to do is go to a place where they have video gaming machines that's closed. Or go to a GameStop anywhere where they have Pokemon cards that's closed.

unknown 22:33

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_00 22:34

This is this is getting very frustrating. But nonetheless, according to the theater events manager, the suspects were inside for less than a minute. Yes, you are hearing me correctly. According to the theater's event manager, the suspects were in there for less than a minute. Two people used sledgehammers on the machines, broke everything, took the money box, and ran up out of there. It was quick, fast, and in a hurry. A seafood restaurant across the street said they saw a blur. You know what I'm saying? Like it was ridiculous. Yes, a seafood and you know the seafood folks, they be watching. Okay? The seafood restaurant said it was a blur. They also have been targeted a couple days before. Go figure. So business owners in the area say, watch out, y'all. Okay. If you in the area, if you in the south suburban area of Illinois anywhere, I suggest you watch out. Hide your wallets because gentlemen like this right here, they're breaking in, they're taking what they want. The repeated break-ins are forcing locations to rethink these machines. We don't even know if we're gonna get video gaming machines anymore. The concern is that businesses with these machines close to Windows are easier targets for overnight break-ins. So they either have to figure out a restructuring plan for these machines, or they have to expect a break-in very soon. Of course, Blue Island officials said they recognize the impact of these crimes. But the city has done not much but increased police activity. Alright? They repositioned police vehicles, they got more police circling the area. But why aren't they catching them before the crime happened? It's very rarely we're catching them during. It was only about one or two of these. We're reading where they're catching them during the crime. They're using license plate readers. They think that's gonna help as well. I don't think none of it's gonna help. I'm gonna be honest. Um, the city needs to review parts of its code for these types of places, these businesses, they need to allow more flexibility for security. They don't need to be punishing businesses if they hire armed security, right? And I understand. So I'm gonna give you an example, right? Think of a Chinese food place. You go to get you some delicious Chinese food, and you turn and they got some video gaming machines right there. Now, if you walk into the Chinese spot and they got a guy there with a gap, and he's standing there, he ain't doing nothing. You walk in, he got a nice little badge, he says, Hey, how you doing? How you doing? And you walk right in and get your food. Are you scared? I'm not. Because I go into grocery stores at times, and there's a guy there with a gun. Okay? So I'm not worried. I think we need to allow more flexibility for these places. That's my final answer. Let's go ahead and move on to next one. Hopefully, I got this right. Hopefully, okay. And I'm gonna loop the video right away. So this way when we loop it, video, okay, and I'm gonna loop it. I'm gonna make sure this time. Loop. Alright, I looped the video. Oh, this is a good one. Well, you guys can take a look. I want you to take a look at that screen. Okay, take a look. Just see those guys running. You see those guys running? Ooh, they fast. Those guys are fast, boy. We're gonna go ahead and break this story down. So, police in Mechanicville, New York say three people are accused in a burglary at Forgotten Freshness Classic Gaming. Now, this is a classic video game store on Saratoga Avenue, if you don't know. According to Mechanicville Police, the break-in happened early Thursday morning, and they say an 18-year-old by the name of Timothy Fournette Jr. of Mechanicville is accused of working with two other miners, 15 and 16, to get inside the store, damage the property, and steal the merchandise before leaving the scene. The owner, Frank, I ain't even gonna try to pronounce your last name, Frank. But Frank told local reporters motion sensors started going off inside the building. When he checked the cameras, he realized someone broken in. Okay, and a lot of these businesses are getting very smart on their security. And I want to say you guys are getting good. Motion sensors, different things to trigger off and alert your phone and let you know someone has broken in. These investments are paying off. Okay. But he realized someone had broken in, and he said this was the first time in more than 20 years that the store had ever experienced a break-in. That is a huge accomplishment, but at the same time, a scary thought that 20 years you probably let your guard down the most, and a break-in happens. So, surveillance video that you guys are seeing reportedly, okay, is showing, and we I gotta say reportedly, because these guys still have the right to a fair trial. But surveillance video reportedly showed the group checking out the building, leaving, and then returning, leaving, then returning again for 30 damn minutes. According to these reports, the suspects tried to break in using a hammer before they just said, damn, we can't work, we gotta use a brick. And they use a brick to smash through the window, which did work. So these reports from the store indicated that the suspects may have left before getting into the registers, but later coverage said merchandise was taken. All right. WRGB stated that the items involved were Pokems that had been left on the counter overnight. Thank Lord. Was a lot more. But Frank said the stolen cards were 10 tops Pokemon cards, and they were all valued at about $2 each. Whoo! Hallelujah! He said the damage was far greater, though, than them damn $2 cards. All right, we're talking about a window at least that's gonna be costing probably more than $1,000. Yes, that's just for the window. Furnett, as you see him on screen, was taken into custody Thursday afternoon after being identified as a suspect during the investigation. He is facing several charges, including third-degree burglary, third-degree criminal mischief, petite larceny, fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, and endangering the welfare of a child. Police said the 15-year-old has already been charged in connection with the case, while the 16-year-old was expected to be processed the following day. The names of the minors were not released because of their ages, and we know how that goes. Okay, so I want to get to the chat here. I don't know why people care about these cards. Shout out the next text, Big Dad, for the comment. Great question. I think the reason people care now is because even kids that don't know what these cards are worth see these news articles and the the constant press around how much these cards are worth or how much one is even selling for. If a Pokemon card sells for $200,000, it's making news somewhere. And kids see that. And knowing that one of these small cards are worth so much, they put so much value into it. So they feel as though if I can break in and take a bunch of cards that can I can put 10 cards in my pocket that could be worth $10,000 each, I could be leaving with a one PlayStation 5 that's worth $500,000. I mean $500, excuse me. I don't know why I said $500,000. That was crazy. Okay, that was crazy. But Fournette was arraigned in Mechanicville City Court, all right? And he was released ahead of further proceedings. So my man is out right now. So Fournette, you're probably seeing this. Fournette, all right. Just know my man Frank plans to press charges on your ass. Yeah, Frank. Frank's gonna be in court, man. And I know he's saying he hopes the the other younger guys learn from their situation. He's gonna put a fire up under your ass. Timothy, he's gonna put a fire up under your ass. I don't doubt Frank's gonna hunt your ass down. Now, forgotten freshness, classic gaming has closed temporarily after the break-in, but later reopened as the owner and staff cleaned up everything and got everything looking fresh after the damage. We want to go ahead and send a big shout out to Frank. Big salute. We glad these guys did not get to the cards of value. These idiots are gonna face so much time for stealing cards that were worth two dollars each. What else do I have? That is just bad. And that y'all is gaming gone wild. Bam. We killed that one, y'all. I ain't gonna lie, we killed it. Alright, so we're gonna go ahead and move on to the next topic. I didn't even have, you know, usually I have things like pictures and all that. You know, I get my background set up like Nintendo News, and I got different pictures. I don't even have pictures for topics today, bro. I came in to straight go at it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I ain't even got time to play with y'all. So I might just leave this background. You know what? You know what? I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and do right. Let's do this. Since we're gonna go ahead and do the stop killing games. Let's talk about stop killing games now, right? We'll do the stop killing games movement because there's been a lot of traction on that, and I want to cover. We got so much to cover, and I know it's a lot of stuff, and I could do it in any order now. That's why I like not having the topics at the bottom. You can just unpack the shit. Excuse me, I gotta watch my language. I'm trying to be more, you know, as you get kids on your platform. My daughter came on. I gotta be a little better. I gotta be a little better. Let's be honest, y'all. Alright, I ain't gonna lie, let's pop this shit. Alright, I ain't gonna lie, I can't help it. So we're gonna go ahead and use this image here, right here. Alright, we're gonna switch the image. We're gonna put something that's for stop killing games because we want to represent the movement. We want to be kosher, okay? If that's even right. So, stop killing games. Let's change picture. Bingo properties, save image, bingo, and here we go. Let me know if y'all like this one. This one should be fine. Bam. Mmm, I like it. I like it. Okay, let's maximize that. Let's make that a little bigger. That don't look good. Why are they maximize? Can we fit the screen? Transform. Let's do a fit the screen. Ah, that's whack. Let's do this then. Oh, that's even whacker. You know what I'm saying? Let's do this. Ah, there we go. That works. Okay, there we go. We got it. Stop killing games, man. All right, stop killing games. Let's go ahead and unpack this, man. I'm not even gonna waste y'all time with it, man. It's uh it's a lot to unpack with stop killing games. A lot of people don't know about the movement. Um, but just so you know, this movement was made for old assholes like me mainly. I know we got a lot of other people who might be older in age, who might be real behind this movement. A lot of younger kids might not really understand it, might not care as much. But to me, this movement is very impactful. I think a lot of people need to be behind stop killing games, whether you're old or young, because this will affect you. Um, we've seen just and I'm gonna go quick fast because I I know I'm gonna unpack a little stuff on that. But games like, and this is you know what? Forget it. I'm gonna just go ahead and go into it, yo. My man, yo, shout out Aaron, a A Ron, man. You know who you are, man. A P. Shout you out, man. I'll never forget, man, that day you bought Anthem. Yo, you ever had one of your friends come to you with a game they bought, and they swear the game is all that, and they tell you and they brag about the game, like after the first day they play it, you see them the next day, and they're bragging to you about how great it is. And they, oh my goodness, this was Aaron. He got Anthem release day. He talked about it, man. He said, Man, Anthem, everybody's on it. It's packed. There's a lot of people on there, man. This I'm telling you, this game's gonna be the next big thing. Everybody's on it. Before you know it, you can't even play the damn game no more, Aaron. So tell me, was Anthem worth every dollar you spent? Which was, I believe, 60. Aaron, dab me up, because as much as Aaron, I could talk about him with that. I will say the one thing with Aaron is he is the best Halo teammate I've ever had in my life. I will say that. Like, we played Halo together. That guy was the best Halo teammate I've ever had in my life. Like, it was me, him, and another guy, and we all played and we never lost. We were undefeated the entire night. Like, it was amazing. I just love to have teammates that automatically pick up with you. So, as much as Aaron is I'm talking about you with Anthem right now, I do have to give you props. You were the best Halo teammate I ever had. Um, I ain't gonna say ever. Okay. My man, can I get a shout out, man? Largeman, shout out to you, man. Because I ain't even getting into my spirit. You lucky I ain't gonna it, so I'm gonna give you a shout-out. I don't typically, you know what? But you getting it today, man. I'm gonna give you a sound. What I got for you. My bad. My bad. My bad. That's what that's what I have for you. That's what I have for you, man. I ain't had nothing. I ain't had nothing else. So let's get right into it. California lawmakers are considering a bill that could change what happens when publishers shut down online dependent games that people have already paid for. Okay, so a lot of people might talk crap about California laws and oh my goodness, they get so this way and all that. This law might be one to actually save your ass. For all you gamers out there, you need to care about this. They're considering a bill. This is important. Okay, very important. The bill is California Assembly Bill 1921. I want to go ahead and repeat. The bill is California Assembly Bill 1921. We all got to remember that because it's a very important uh bill for all gamers. Okay, my bad for the Foss. But California Assembly Bill 1921, a very important bill for all gamers. Now, just so you know the name, it's called the Protect Our Games Act by supporters. Protect Our Games Act by supporters. It was introduced by Assembly member Chris Ward and recently cleared a key assembly appropriation. Oh, excuse me, god damn. That was a tongue twister. Holy hell! Okay, but let's rewind that. It was introduced by an assembly member, Chris Ward, and recently cleared a key assembly appropriations committee step in May 2026. The bill focuses on paid digital games that require publisher-operated online services for normal use. Under the proposal, companies would have to notify players at least 60 days before shutting down the services needed for the game to work. I repeat, under the proposal, companies would have to notify players at least 60 days before shutting down the services needed for the game to work. After that, publishers would have to provide some kind of path forward. That could mean an alternate version of the game, a patch, or an update that keeps the game playable, or another method that allows the game to keep functioning without the original live service that you put in place. And I repeat, if that does not happen, the bill would require a refund option tied to the original purchase price. Do y'all hear that? That is beautiful. Now the bill would apply to digital games made available for purchase in California on or after January 1st, 2027. With the exceptions included in the legislation. Okay? With the exceptions included in the legislation. Check out the exceptions, okay? But in California and has to be on or after January 1st, 2027. Alright? The wider issue here though is the stop killing games movement. We gotta clap it up, y'all. Everybody rap what I got for you, man. Can you dig it, nigga? I can dig it, man. I can dig it. Alright. Now, this whole movement grew after high profile shutdowns of games like Ubisoft's The Crew, which shut down in 2024, left people high and dry. Okay? And it became unplayable even for the players who have purchased it. So just imagine purchasing a game that you no longer can play. That is what we're talking about here, and that is a different type of feeling, especially when you put your support, love, and passion behind a project where developers were involved and they had hands on to it and gone. Supporters argue that when someone pays for a game, the product should not be permanently removed from use just because the publisher ends the server support. I agree. They say companies should plan for an end-of-life version, whether that means offline access, private server support, or another preservation option. But nonetheless, there should be something in place. I agree. And the game industry is pushing back. So I just want y'all to know the ESA. Oh my goodness, I can't stand a damn ESA. Until y'all pay me. If y'all pay me for some uh some, you know, I change up. I ain't gonna lie on y'all. I tell my hey, y'all know me. Y'all know me, I keep it real. Yeah, they pay me some marketing dollars, I come on here. The entertainment software association is a great corporation. I have seen and I'm telling you, and I'm gonna tell y'all on my next stream when I'm not getting paid what it is. I got paid. Like that's what I'm gonna do. But other than that, I'm gonna keep it real, real, real. Let me go ahead and take this off. My bad. I didn't mean to hold that. But I'm gonna keep it real, y'all. The Entertainment Software Association, which represents major publishers, for those who do not know, has opposed the California bill by a long shot. Industry arguments include the cost of long-term infrastructure, technical challenges with live service games, concerns that requirements could pull resources away from new development. Which I'm gonna be honest, they actually have arguments on all of these. The the new development, I'm not you're not gonna slide on the new development. But the other ones, they kind of do have a leg to stand on. One is running a server. Running a server costs money, costs money, costs money for those who do not know. So running a server costs money. So if you are running a server, tell me how much you pay per month in uh power, just power alone. Tell me because it's a lot. Okay, so they shut down the servers. I do believe they need to provide some sort of like offline access. So this debate is gonna move, I'm sure, beyond California. We already know how Europe is, they got the stop destroying video game citizens initiative. I love that initiative. Okay. And that has passed the required signature threshold with, I think it's about 1.29 million verified signatures. I repeat, 1.29 million verified signatures. They're going to have a public hearing connected to the initiative. And I think they already had it. I'm not sure. But I think it was held sometime. I know it was spring. Maybe it was held last month. It might have been held last month, this year, or next month, this year. But I know they had a hearing. I'm kind of curious how that hearing went, by the way. We might have to look that up. But nonetheless, in Europe, the European Parliament, they are already on top of this, man. Before you know it, we're going to have everybody putting our hands and feet on these damn corporations saying, Mother, give me my damn refund. So the core question now becomes whether a digital game is. I actually had to question myself when even thinking of this. Whether digital game purchases should come with a guaranteed playable future. Because if you make digital purchases within a digital game, do you get that? Also, what if those things are limited? What if you're making purchases for things that are limited time? Do you get that? There's some technicalities that could be worked out. I don't think you get those things. Me myself. I don't. But if a game company was nice, they would give them to you. I think that's only right. To be nice and give them to me. For players, publishers, and lawmakers. We're gonna have a long, long, long digital bite ahead of us in gaming. And I can't wait to see where it's headed. Alright? I can't wait to see where it's headed. Now, for those who do not know, we have tickers, and of course, I did not have the correct ticker. Who cares? It's supposed to be the stop killing games movie. I told you, we got all this crap through restream. We're trying to make it good for people on vertical landscape. Vertical landscape. Oh, people are watching on their phones, people are watching the computer, people are watching it, you know, listening from the cars. That's why we got the podcast. So damn it. Let's move on to the next subject. My fault, y'all. My fault. I was I was just I was just tripping on my Scottie Pippen. And I will say that this is amazing. And I, you know, before I even move on, this is amazing that we are fighting back against these corporations on a serious note. Because I am a person that I don't want to say my age, but I have purchased physical copies of games. And I think back and think if I did not have the ability to play those games. Some of those systems I don't have anymore. Actually, a lot of those systems I don't have anymore to be able to play those games and I play them through emulation. But to think that if I had those games and I had the system right there, and I pulled out the Sega Dreamcast and I pulled out the NFL 2K1 and I put it in there and I cut it on and it said no because we're offline, that would hit hard. And that is what we're dealing with with these corporations. I do not think they should do this. I also don't like the way if you're going to take away emulation, fan-made projects, and these other things that people are holding on to to keep these games alive, then keep your damn game running. I it ain't no reason why it ain't no server that can't hold Mario 1, 2, 3, and Super Mario World running all the time forever to the end of life. How much power do that take, bro? You can get a Raspberry Pi, like, come on, it's it's Super Mario 1, 2, and 3 and give us Super Mario World. Like, you can't you telling us you couldn't provide that forever and every system every time. That should be a no-brainer. But we don't have that. We don't have Sega with Sonic on a server. We don't have, you know, uh Microsoft. Well, they kind of do got Master Chief for a server at any point. Right, I kind of gotta say, you might have to pay, but you can get Master Chief at any point. That's one thing I can say about Microsoft. Okay, so nonetheless, let's go ahead. I want to move on to the next one. Let's see if I can pull it up here, too, because I could choose what we're gonna move on to. That's the beauty without having the topics at the bottom. Okay, let's see this. Here we go. I'm gonna go ahead. Yeah, let's let's pull this up. I'm gonna pull up. Yeah, we're gonna talk about this one. I had so many topics, but we're gonna talk about glitch. Has anyone heard of glitch? Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and pull it up now. And I might even show it on screen. Who wants to actually see it? You guys wanna see it? Yeah, why not? Let's first let's pull up the image. I'm gonna change the background. Okay, we are gonna change the background first. Let's do that. That's the least we can do. Right? So give them their respect. So glitch. Have you guys seen this? Alright, oh hold on. I gotta resize it. My fault, my fault, my fault. I forget. I stretched it out. I stretched it out. Bam. There we go. Okay, and we're gonna change the captions. Bam, we got it. We're beautiful. We're beautiful right now. So I want to ask everybody here. Has anybody heard of Glitch? I'm sure a lot of people have not. We're gonna not only pull it up and take a look at glitch. I'll give a quick rundown of what it is, and we'll take a quick look into it and see how you guys like it. Alright? We'll all vote now. Today, how glitch is. Would you guys like that? Would you guys like to do it? All right, here we go. Let's do it. So glitch is a new hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I gotta have my uh gotta have everything right. I gotta have my sounds, you know, I gotta be looking good. I didn't have I got too much going. I got to turn okay, turn that off. We don't need to be taking up any, you know, CPU RAM. We're good. All right. Glitch is a new browser-based first gaming platform at glitch.fun. You all can check it out right now at glitch.fun. It launched on May 15th with nearly 100 games already. The pitch, very simple. All right. Instead of asking players to watch trailers, read store pages, download files, install updates, decide if you care, decide if you want to play. Oh my gosh, I want to do it now, and then say, oh man, I don't want it and delete. And then go back and do it. Glitch wants players to click and start playing almost instantly through the browser. Yes, you hear me correct. They want you to click and start playing instantly through the browser. The platform is being described as TikTok like because it is built around fast discovery, social sharing, creator content, and also a very low commitment. That's what they're offering. All right. The company says players will be able to try games without big downloads, share clips and screenshots, and choose between options like trying, renting, buying, subscribing. You get it all right there. Is it too good to be true? I'm asking y'all, is this too good to be true? I might need to go to the chat on this one. Because this is kind of, I don't know about this one. All right, I don't know. What's going on, my dog? Dab me up. What do you think? So here is the part that makes it very interesting. Glitz is not just trying to be like a storefront. It ain't trying to be like an epic storefront, right? It's trying to solve the attention problem. We all know the attention problem. It's the reason why advertisers are now throwing their dollars at people like me, right? And I get to play games and advertise and get paid for sponsorships. It's because really the attention spans are a lot shorter, and people want to be able to cover and jump in and out of what they want to. That's why when folks come in, I say jump in, they jump in at the right time. Let's get to it. That's how we do it, right? They're competing with TikTok, YouTube Shorts, uh, Discord, other streaming platforms. There's plenty of fast-hit entertainment feeds that people open up when they bored, they gotta compete against that. So for developers, glitch is pitching itself as another path to visibility for developers. Like, hey, get your game in front of everybody, quick, fast, in a hurry. They'll like it, they can play it, and now you can talk about it on more platforms. And I'm very curious how this is gonna go. So instead of depending on like a Steam wish list, paid ads and stuff, you know. I don't know, I don't know how this might go. I'm very, but instead of like wish lists, paid ads, uh, launch windows, all that crap, community momentum, right? This platform says it is building attribution tools so developers can see how creator content drives installs, playtime, engagement, and purchases. And I want to tell you why that's pretty important. Because someone like myself, I've done many sponsorships. If anybody else, anybody else out there, if you're a content creator, if you're planning on being a content creator and you have done sponsorships or you plan to do sponsorships, one thing you know is you typically get a link. A lot of times they give you a link, that link you will share. They want people to click on that link. That that link is tracked. They want to see how many times people click on that link, how many times they're following through, where people are clicking from. Is it different countries? Like it tells a lot on that tracking link. So they're planning on for developers to be able to see which creators are some of the most popular creators. Developers can go straight to you. It is a very interesting concept. So the strength is very obvious. No, you know, the friction that we have right now kills Discovery within games. A lot of people can say that the friction of having to watch a game trailer, right? That that is friction for some people. Might not be friction for me. I love watching game trailers. But for some people, if I have to decide which game to play between 30 games, it's very difficult for me to pick a game. Because I got 30 games. So if a player has 10 minutes and a game requires a huge download, how do they handle that? How do they watch 30 trailers, get a huge download, and also free up storage space in 10 minutes? They got an account setup, they log in, they gotta set up their account. How do they do that in 10 minutes? They won't. That's period. They won't. Browser-based instant play is very interesting. I guess it's gonna give bigger games, quick load times, and smaller games a chance to win people over. I'm interested. So, but I think the biggest challenge is obvious, y'all. I think it's gonna be retention. Can this hold your retention? So, I'm gonna go ahead and pull it up now. Why the hell not? We already here. Glitch.fun. Now, I don't know how much uh, you know, power I'm taking up right now on my PC because I got a lot of stuff running. A lot of people don't know. It takes a lot to run a podcast like this. I when we for those who don't know, our clips are doing crazy numbers. I want to say a big shout out to all of you for that, man. Like, we put up clips yesterday within hours, it was already at like 2,000 views, right? On certain platforms. So I love that. Love to see it. Uh, every platform's doing numbers with the clip. So I want to shout out you guys. But let's see this. I'm gonna go ahead and pull it up on screen now. Let's take a look. Share screen. Hold on, add there. We go, share screen, and we're gonna pick it right here. Booyah, I want to bring it over to this screen because I don't want to I want to be able to see you guys too and see what you guys are seeing. So, right now on the share screen, if you're looking on the vertical, you might not see the whole entire thing, but you got enough. We're just pretty much looking at a picture. Says free Velorin. So there's a lot of games right here, right? And it shows games where you can just pick, it says skip, like you just pick a game. So I want chat, I want y'all right now. Velarin, do I play Velorin? Okay, do I hit a like to it? It says instant play by independent creator. I could actually click through and look at pictures. I would like to ask you guys, Velarin, do we give it a hell yeah or a hell no chat? Going once, going twice. I feel I got a hell no. So we're gonna go ahead and skip. Bam. Kribbish. I'm gonna tell y'all, I don't even like playing kribbish or whatever that game is. They call it just kribbish. I think the real game is kribbch, right? I thought it was. We're not playing that. Skip a game about day trading. Wow, okay. Very interesting. Okay, very interesting. A game about day trading. Okay. Skip. Castaway station. Okay, all right, interesting. Skip. I'm not feeling it yet. I need something that's gonna bring me to a quest board. Nope, skip. I need I need something that's gonna Okay, alright, here we go. Everything all in one. So it's got all the games all in one. I don't like a skip. Skip. Okay, hold up, hold up. Beowulf? Is this the actual Beowulf? Okay, let's give it a shot. Let's hit play. Right now, loading. Let's see. We're gonna go ahead and get this in game. I'm gonna see if it has the sound too, because the sound should be here. So I'm gonna pull up this uh over here. Okay, there we go. And I'm gonna turn off. I don't know why I still have the music going. Even though the volume's down on it, it was still going. So I want to be able to hear everything. Do I have the Chrome sounds under browser? Okay, I do. So it's loading Beowulf. All right, let's see. Is that good? Right there. Is that good? Are we good right there? Is that too loud? Too loud for the sound. We're gonna just try it. Alright, I'm gonna click it. Let's see what it's about. Okay, alright. Graphics don't look too bad. What do we got? WASD? Okay. WASD. Alright, okay. Spacebar. Spacebar to jump. Shift to run. Okay, not too bad. Not too bad so far. This is glitch.fun. You get a 10-minute trial before you have to subscribe or sign up, I believe. So I get a 10-minute trial of this game. Um, so far, graphics look okay. This is straight from the browser. Now, I ain't got my hopes too high from the browser. I don't have any instructions in front of me, though. That's kind of crazy. Okay, I don't have any instructions. Let's see if I press some other buttons. Okay. Is it another language too? Can we change the language on this? So let's see. We got some different things up top. We got help, hide, studio clip. Okay, so I can clip it. Let's go to help. Shot saves a screenshot of the current game view. Studio opens. Okay, that's just telling me that. Info okay, that's just telling me that. I can full screen it. Right? Let's full screen it. That's full screen. Are you serious? Okay, so that didn't work too good. Alright, it's just starting. Alright, we're gonna give him time. So this is uh let's try some other buttons. What's this? Okay. Alright, guys. Um so let's swim. Let's go swim. Alright, we're gonna go swim. Okay. We sunk to the bottom. Apparently, water effects are not working because we can look up and see the sky like normal. Uh can we get out of here? Can I climb up the mountain? Okay, so maybe I can run back up here. Okay. Please tell me I can run back up here. Okay, I can jump back up there at least. Okay, thank you. Thought I was stuck. Oh man. At least I'm not stuck. Alright, there we go.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:22

Woo!

SPEAKER_00 1:01:23

I almost got stuck down there, boy. That was close. Alright. So apparently I must talk to this guy. Oh, go on my house. You know what? I'm gonna be honest. Glitch.fun. This game is crap. I'm gonna just keep it a hundred. This game is uh dog doo-doo right now. Uh this is uh probably one of the worst games I played in a long time, just from the browser. You didn't tell me anything to do. It's called Beowulf. Looks nice. Dude got a tattoo on his chest. That's all I see. Okay. I can exit out. So let's see how fast I can exit in and out of games. Right? I go skip. This is crap. Okay, build and survive. I go play. I'm not gonna lie, this is not gonna hold my retention long enough, glitch.fun. You're gonna have to do something better. You're gonna have to bring out hits, bro. Like, like, there should be a mobile version of Call of Duty that should be able to load right away. Bam, I should be able to click play, Call of Duty. We need hits. This is not gonna cut it, glitch.fun. I'm gonna be honest. I'm trying to help you out. I'm just even showing this, even talking about it. You know what I mean? Helping you out right now. Okay, because look, this says build. Okay, you can go here, you can click, you can build stuff, upgrades. This ain't it though. I get 10 minutes of this. This ain't this ain't this ain't worthy of me. So I'm gonna give you an example. Hold on, hold on. Let me just let me pull myself up on big screen real quick, man. Because I don't think they understand. Let me talk to Glitch real quick. Hey, Glitch, let me talk to you real quick. Let me pull you over here. Glitch. I don't know if you've been to TikTok recently. TikTok has games in there. You can pull up these games on TikTok. You're gonna have to bring bangers. Every game needs to be a banger. If you ain't bringing out, I mean, we gotta have name brand games. These little these little games ain't gonna cut it, man. These ain't gonna cut it. I can go to TikTok and play these. So let's hold on. Let's go to filters. Let's go to filters here, right? We're gonna try to do it right. First of all, what's premium? Alright, we need to see what premium is first. So let's see what premium is. Skip. Justin Freeman's build a house. Premium. Cost $10. Anti-aircraft commander. Glitch. Yo, y'all let me know. Hold on, man. My fault. Let me let me know when y'all see something that's interesting. Okay, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Never mind. Never mind. Okay, I got my mind made up. Okay. Um, we're done. We're done here. Yeah, let's go ahead and take that away. Um, hide. Yeah, so um glitch. Yeah, so anyways, glitch.fun is supposed to be the next TikTok big thing. I don't know. I don't I don't know how that's gonna work. I just tried it just now, and this is not gonna survive for me. Um, I can tell you guys there's Lutacine, and Lutacine is way better than that, and Lutacine is not offering you games. For those who do not know Lutacine, Lutacine I will show you, and I'm more than happy to be proud to show you Lutacine. All right, now here, hold on. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You had the wrong one, okay? Yeah, I'm sure. Oh, performance warning. Sharing multiple screens. Oh, stop the sharing on this one. Okay, my fault, my fault. Go ahead and add it, man. I'm good. I I took the other one off. I took the other one off. You good? So, Lutisine. Look at this, y'all. I'm I'm logged in right now to Lutisine. If I wanted to find a game like I was really wanting to find a game, let's do new run. Yo, let's just, I'm gonna give y'all an example. I'm a guy who only loves to play RTS games. I love only RTS games. That's all I want to play, okay? So that's it. I want new RTS games. What is this? I have no idea. What if I click it? Hopefully that's gonna work. Very simple. I'm done. Look, Games Expert Specials. Love, recommend it. I don't like it. I can go up to dislike. Love penned. You see how simple that is? I don't like it. Dislike. Lego uh Batman. Don't like. Dislike. I want an RTS game. So No. And then look, enter the Chronosphere. We're starting to get that. It's a little better. So I go, okay. I can put instead of I ain't like it or love it. Oh no, let's put loved. Let's go down to loved. How you do, love? Love right here. So love that one. Hec deck. I don't know what Hec deck is, but let's just say I don't like Hec deck. Dice Gambit. Notice how they're getting certain games. So let's say I love Dice Gambit. Notice how the games go. They still throw other things at me, but they're starting to get similar. Alright. See how the games are getting a little similar. Subnautica 2 gotta go on recommended, bro. Like Subnautica 2. Matter of fact, nah, we're just gonna stop right now. Y'all see how suited uh Lutisine is. So I I will send a big shout out to Lutisine because I know Lutisine works. That honestly, if you're looking for a game and you're trying to find a game that you like, I think Ludacene is the best thing to do. Because then you can get games that you actually like. Like if you like um what is it? It takes two, right? You like games like that. You can play games like It Takes Two, put it in there and say, Hey, I want games like this, and it will give you games similar to that game, no matter the platform. Beautiful. Big shout out to Ludacene. I gotta I shouted you out on that. Hey, I ain't gonna lie. Y'all got a little pub. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one, man. Y'all know what time it is. It's time for the best one, man. This is the one. I'm sorry for even wasting y'all's time. You know what I mean? This is the one, the only. Let's take out these. Dude, I got the munchies. And we're gonna go through these quickly because I think I've been live way too long. Okay, I went over already. All right. I'm over already, y'all. Is it's past. I'm sorry. I went over, but y'all like it. I'm gonna keep going. So, dude, I got the munchies. This is the one you need to be here for. This is the one everybody should care about. For those who do not know, dude, I got the munchies is literally blowing up. I I want to say gaming going wild, dude. I got the munchies and choose your fate are about equivalent. And I want to say choose your fate is about to be taken over. Both of gaming going wild and dude I got the munchies is taking it. It's taking it. Dude, I got the munchies is gonna be number one. By the way, it's catching up by far. Dude, I got the munchies is a topic where we talk about the latest and greatest cravings that we all have out there in the food world, baby. Okay, don't matter if it's fast food, if it's in the grocery store, if it's just out there, if it's just wild, we talk about it. You get your left-hand cigarette, you just got your fat boy snack pack, as my daughter would say. Or if you just got a pot belly and you love to eat, you came to the right segment. So without further ado, this is dude! I got the Ukin Munchies. And let's get to our first one. And our first one's gonna be already tasting my fingertips. I'm sorry, y'all. I get a little hungry at times. That's me. That's me. I ain't gonna lie, that's me. Let's go to this first one. I'm gonna pull it up and I want to make sure I got okay. There we go. Share, add. I told you we're doing this all good so everybody can see, and now it looks good for everybody that comes in. So let's screen share. Oh, we'll pick. We'll pick image. Okay, we'll pick image, we'll do it the right way. Okay, so let's go to let's do this one first. Y'all, let's get to the real ish, y'all. Costco, Costco, where my guys at? Costco, Costco. I'm alright back. Costco. Y'all already know what time it is, man. Costco is testing a new food court item that is already causing the debate across the United States of America. I know for sure, baby. Yes, a five-piece chicken tender meal for $6.99. Now, the tenders have been spotted in select Chicagoland locations, including Schaumburg, and maybe replacing the Cow Zone at some stores. The Cal Zone ain't really hitting it for me, so I hope it do replace the Cow Zone. Okay. But the big talking point is the calorie count, with the calorie count reportedly listed at 1,640 calories. Yes, a review from the takeout says the tenders are baked, not fried, come with a large smoky, sweet dipping sauce, and offer a huge portion for the price. But the main complaint is that they may be too salty in their current form. I'm gonna say, and I'm gonna be honest, genius idea, brilliant marketing. I think that not only you should be bringing chicken tenders, I think you should be including more food court items. I and I'm gonna say this first, I'm gonna be the first person to say it. Everybody else quote me on this. Costco could actually compete with fast food places if they were to turn their food court into its own food business because you can serve your tenders, pizza, hot dogs. I mean, you already have desserts. You have you can serve this. It's fast, it's quick. A lot of people are looking for inexpensive meals. $6.99. I know a lot of people are talking about the price. A lot of people are talking about the calorie count and the amount of food. I think for $6.99, that is two people. Two people can split that. Man, that is a beautiful meal. Get two people to split that for $6.99. You both can sit down, split some chicken tenders and some fries, and buy an extra two drinks, right? Drinks are not expensive. Costco, I gotta give it up for you, man. Let's go ahead, man. We gotta switch this out. We gotta do it for the next one. So let's go ahead and get to the next one. Just the one, yeah. That's it. This it man. You know, I ain't gonna lie. Taco Bell's been on a roll. Taco Bell's been on a roll. So Taco Bell is giving the Mexican pizza a twist. Now, you know they're tripping when they I you know I don't play with my Mexican pizza. All right, Taco Bell Mexican Pizza is one of the top five selections at Taco Bell. Period. But they are giving the Mexican pizza a new twist with the Cantina Chicken Mexican pizza. Now, this is gonna be launching nationwide for a limited time on May 21st. The new version includes Cantina chicken, black beans, green, uh, how do you pronounce that? Is it chile sauce? Chile sauce? How do you pronounce that? I don't even know. I don't use it. Uh the green sauce, okay? It's got a bunch of damn stuff on it, okay? It's also gonna have cheese, purple cabbage, pico de gallo, uh classic tortilla shelves, all that. How the hell do I know to say pico de gallo? But I can't say chile sauce or whatever. I don't know how to eye stop. Okay, but nonetheless, this new version of the Mexican pizza, Cantina chicken style, is going to include black beans, green sauce, cheese, purple cabbage, and pico de gallo between two classic tortilla shells. Taco Bell is also adding new jalapeno citrus salsa made with red jalapenos and citrus. Reward members get early access May 19th. So I might just get on my app and get a little early access because I do want to taste it first. I want to be a reward member to taste it first. Um, how do I feel about the chicken? I think it's a beautiful idea. A lot of people don't know. Their chicken that they dropped ever since they came out with it has been a beautiful idea. And I want to say Taco Bell, keep the new ideas rolling. This is what's it's gonna keep you up top if you keep doing it. All right, let's move on to the next one. Switch! Oh, here we go. Oh, couldn't add image. Oh, they're gonna do me like that. Really? They're gonna do me like that. You could not add the image, bro. Me? Okay, I got you. I'll go ahead and pull it up another way. Uh, let's do this one. Here we go. Bam. Now we got it. Now, how you gonna stop me, baby? I got the image pulled up right here. I'll pull it up and share it on screen for you. Let's share it on screen right now. They can't stop us. Can I get this big? Can I big screen it like please? Okay, let's just pull it up on screen. We're gonna share screen. That'll probably be the easiest way. Share screen. Alright, share screen. And boo yeah. So this one I'm gonna pull up from Instagram, bro. Do y'all see this? Can I get the picture bigger? Like, please tell me I can get the picture a little bit bigger. Just a little bit bigger, man. Please. Anything you can do? Can you full screen on Instagram? Damn, I liked it. You can't full screen on Instagram. Let's do this. Can you do uh there we go. Ah, there we go, y'all. That's better. Okay. I want everybody to be able to see it. So, Fire King. I have an update on the story you covered about me. Yo, Fire King, that ain't you, man. That ain't you, man. That ain't you, Fire King. You gotta prove that, man. You gotta prove. If that's you, prove me with some real updates, man. DM me. Hit me with some real stuff, man. It ain't you, it ain't you. It ain't you, man. You ain't gonna convince me it's you because I cover the real stuff, man. If it was you, I would have got you would have hit me up. You know what I'm saying? No, it ain't you, Fire King. But we gotta talk about Keebla, y'all. The Keebla man been at it. Keebler has a new limited edition version of its FUD stripe cookie showing up at Walmart. All right. This new marshmallow FUD stripes are shortbread cookies coated in blue marshmallow flavored fudge, and they are part of Walmart's World Cup promotion and will only be available for a limited time this summer. So you better go ahead and hurry up and grab it. This is basically Keebler took the classic cookie and gave it a marshmallow twist to it. And I'm not gonna lie, I want to try these. I love the original Keebler fudge cookie. First of all, who else is a sucker for the Keebler cookie? The original fudge stripe. I am one. I still eat it. I even eat the Keebler ones with the chocolate in the middle. You know those guys? Those are always gonna be classic, delicious cookies. It's like a vanilla wafer. You know what I mean? It's almost certain things that you cannot stop and you can't get away from. It's just delicious. Alright. So, are you guys gonna try it? That's what I want to know. Are you actually gonna try this? If not, then toucha, you know, you ain't gotta try it. I understand. I understand. So, my man said, I am. You covered the threat to epic games, which was me. Oh, the threat to epic games. I do remember. Okay, I did cover it. Well, if that's you, you got proofing. You know what, man? If you want to, I'll do you more one. If it's really you, DM me. Hit me up on Instagram, anything, I'll bring you on. I'll do you your own interview. You can cover and bust me out. On everything I said wrong, you can cover the story. I'll let you get your own and I'll clip it up and I'll put it out there and I'll share it out for a lot of people to see. Okay, I'll give you your own narrative. How about that? All right, I can do that, and it's gonna be your narrative because you'll be able to tell your story. All right, if it's really you, DM me. You can hit me up on Facebook, Instagram. You see my Instagram right here, right? I'm on Instagram. I got messages right now. All right, hit me up. That's all you gotta do. Okay? Other than that, let's go ahead and move on to the next one. I ain't gonna play. You know what I'm saying? We got we gotta move on. We gotta show. We got an algorithm to algorithm. All right, this one right here, we gotta get it, we gotta keep it real. Y'all, crispy cream is bringing out a new glazed donut for a very short run. And I want to know how does it taste, y'all? Y'all gotta let me know. Because I am a dream sickle fan. I'm a guy, and I think some people, once you love dream sickles, you can't go back. It's one of those that you just love. And the fact that we have a new glazed donut that's called the Orange Dream Sickle Original Glazed? I don't know what to do, man. The donut has an orange glazed flavor with citrus and vanilla, and it's inspired by the classic orange and cream dream sickle ice cream treat. I don't know. Like, I got to try this. It launched already, okay? It launched, it's at participating location. So I need y'all to let me know. But the catch is that it's only available for a limited time. All right, so I need y'all to grab that. Krispy Kreme is also offering a deal where customers who buy a regular dozen can get a dozen Orange Dream sickle glaze donuts for $5. So grab them, please, and let me know how they taste. Please. Okay? And if they taste delicious, can y'all just grab a dozen for me? You know what I'm saying? I'm a I ain't gonna lie, I'm a sucker that I'll go into the app and it says, hey, you can get a dozen free for a dollar. Or free for a dollar. That was crazy. That was crazy. That was crazy, Nick. I ain't gonna lie. I might as well hit myself. But it says, hey, you go into the app, buy a dozen, get a dozen free. I'm right there. Hey, boom, I'm right there. Get a dozen for a dollar. Boom, I'm gonna get a dozen for a dollar. It could be just glaze. I'm getting it. Speaking of, I'm not gonna lie, I want some glaze donuts from Krispy Kreme right now. I'm sorry. I might just head out and get some donuts. That was my bad. I shouldn't have done this. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one because I'm like hungry and I'm definitely going to get some Krispie Kreme. It's not an option, I'm getting it. Alright, let's move on to the next one. So, whoo, I need to know how y'all feel about this, man. So, Nerd's and Mother's Cookies are teaming up for a limited edition Walmart exclusive called Sweet and Tangy Frosted Cookies. The cookies are Mother's Classic Frosted Shortbread style, but add nerd's candy for a fruity crunch. They're shaped like circus animals and nerd characters, so it gives it like a nostalgia push, but it sounds like it's built for a lunchbox. It sounds like it's built for someone that gets on a yellow bus. It sounds like somebody pull it out of a brown paper bag and say, try one. I don't know how I feel about this, man. This is crazy. Like, mother's cookies, and by the way, I love their frosted animal cookies. There's some of the best out there, like, period, in the market. Mother's Cookies probably got that on lock. But the fact that you mixed it with nerds? Nerds? What? No, I mean, I don't know how I feel about this one. How do y'all feel about mother's cookies teaming up with nerds to create the sweet and tangy cookie? I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that, man. That's just me. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Alright, we're doing yo. I ain't gonna lie, we're moving along so damn good. It's like the pictures and images and everything coming along. Oh man. Oh my goodness. I know y'all looking at that like, what the hell? People are probably looking at this like, what the hell? And I'm looking at this like this is gourmet. Y'all probably looking at this like that don't look like much, and I'm looking like this is top shelf, baby. So, the Washington Nationals have the wildest stadium food of the week. You are looking at what they call hot dog fries. Yes, this is hot dog fries. These are not fries served with the hot dog. They are fries made out of hot dogs. Repeat. Okay, you gotta repeat this. These are not fries served with the hot dog. These are fries, oh, excuse me. They are fries made out of hot dogs. The shoestring style fried hot dogs come with Chipotle ranch and can be served in a cup or a plastic baseball helmet. The price, I ain't gonna lie, y'all. The price is nasty work. It's $20. It's $20. I'm not gonna lie. So that's why the price is probably getting a lot of attention too. Okay. The item is reportedly costing $20 at Nationals Park. So you're gonna see a split reaction. Some people are disgusted, some people are curious, some people are mad that it costs this much, but I'm not gonna lie, y'all. I want to pay $20 for this. I am the sucker. Yes, I am. I know, I know. I am the sucker that would go to Washington National Park, okay? And I will buy this, Washington Nationals. Can you do me a favor? Can you invite me, please? Just give me some free tickets, Washington Nationals. Matter of fact, you ain't even gotta invite me. Just send me some of these and I will promote them. Do you know how much I love hot dogs? Oh my goodness, to be able to have fried hot dogs in a shoestring shape that I can dip and eat. This is all I need for dinner. Like this and fries together is the mint. Yo, y'all can't tell me this and fries together is not a gourmet meal. I'm sorry. You put this and RB curly fries together, you got a max session. I'm done. I'm not even talking no more, man. That's it, man. That's that's dude. I got the munchies, man. This is this is just ridiculous, bro. That's too good. That's too good. That's way too good. We're not even gonna talk about that no more. It's too good. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one, man. We gotta move on. Alright. Y'all, y'all know what we do. We do product of the week, game of the week. This one's game of the week. I don't know why I have product of the week up. Who cares? Alright, it's game of the week. That's all we're here to talk about. So, game of the week is actually two games this week. And I'm gonna pull the captions up. Games of the week is Forza 6 and Subnautica 2, y'all. I'm gonna quickly say this and I want to move on because we gotta hurry up. The algorithm's almost done here. But uh, these are two titles that are completely dominating the internet right now. And if you don't know about Forza Horizon 6 and Subnautica 2, you need to crawl from under the rock and go look at them, okay? Forza Horizon 6 is one of Xbox's biggest releases of this year. Period. That's it. The game is set in Japan and it launched globally, okay, or excuse me, it launches globally on May 19th. Premium edition players got early access starting May 15th. I should say that. All right, so you're gonna have a lot of people playing it, but that's because you got a lot of premium premium editions. Now, these premium editions cost a pretty penny for those who do not know, okay. That already had a lot of people talking because paying extra to play a few days early is nasty work. It's becoming one of the biggest debates in gaming today. A matter of fact, I might do a whole segment on that alone. But the biggest story came before the launch when reports said a full unencrypted PC build of the game was accidentally uploaded through Steam. That meant people were able to access the game early and footage from the new Japan map and then spread it online way before the official release. Okay. Playground Games responded by warning players not to access the leaked version. The studio said anyone caught using that damn leaked build could excuse me, they could face franchise-wide and hardware level bans. Do you hear that? I never heard that before. I I, you know, I heard a lot. Playground games threatened that if you access that leaked version, you could face franchise-wide and hardware level bans. Some reports show band screens lasting until December 31st. 99999. Which is basically an 8,000-year ban. Okay? That's an 8,000-year ban. I'm just gonna say that. Uh the wild part for the Horizon 6 is already a massive release. Estimates floating around, early access sales, yada yada yada. It's a lot going on. But Microsoft is right now raking in a lot of dough. Shout out to Microsoft. Uh, and Playground Games had to deal with one of the worst things that can happen before the release: the game getting out into the wild. So that all happened. But let's go ahead and move on. Then there is Subnautica 2, which is having a completely different type of moment, right? Subnautica 2 is having such a completely different type of moment that it don't even know what the hell's going on on the other side for uh Forza Horizon 6. Now, Subnautica 2 launched in early access on Steam, Xbox, and Game Pass, and the numbers already have surpassed. That's what everybody thought of. We've seen 467,000 concurrent players. Yes, I repeat 467,000 concurrent players on Steam alone. That's blowing past the 51,000 record that was set on Subnautica's original game. Yes, Subnautica all-time steam peak was around 51,000. Just think from 51,000 to 477,000. Now, a big reason for the hype is they now have four-player co-op. And everybody knows how four-player co-op has been the craze now. Subnautica has always been about the exploration, fear, survival, you know, ocean making players feel small. So now you get that experience with friends. I'm not gonna lie, I'm I'm purchasing Subnautica 2 tonight. I'm purchasing it. I just have to figure out if I am I getting it on Xbox, am I getting it on the PC? That's all I have to figure out. But behind that success, a lot of people don't know there is a major corporate fight going on. Unknown Worlds, the studio behind Subnautica, has been involved in a legal dispute with publisher crafting over leadership changes and a reported $250 million performance bonus tied to Subnautica 2. And due to its success, I think that $250 million bonus, they're gonna try to they're gonna try to clock in on that. Reports say the original leadership was removed before launch, and the disputes center on whether the timing affected the bonus or not. So that makes Subnautica 2 one of the stranger stories of this week, or even a year. Because on the player side, looks great. Hey, everybody's playing all great. And on the other side of the corporate, you got fights going on and over control, money, and who gets rewarded. It's crazy. So those are games of the week. Four to six, subnautica two. Big salute to y'all. Hope everything's all good. Now, last one, let's go ahead and get to it. Choose your fate. Y'all, we're getting straight into choose your fate. We're not even gonna waste no time because, as you know, I'm already behind on the show. So let's stop the sharing on this other one. I don't know why I have this other screen. Sharing. So uh let's go ahead and change the captions, which we got it. Oh, good. Look at that. We got the we're doing good. So we're gonna go ahead and get straight into choose your fate. For those who do not know, choose your fate is a segment, a gaming segment where we take two choices head to head, two tough choices, and we make you pick one. You have to pick one, you cannot pick both, you must only pick one. So without further ado, let's go ahead and get into it. Choose your fate. And let's start with the first one. I'm gonna try to do this quick because y'all know I usually I usually like to slow roll these, but I was running my mouth a little too long. You know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna lie, I ain't gonna lie, that was me. That was me running my mouth a little too long. Now, let me go ahead. There's one I want to go ahead. I think I ain't even add one. Hold up, hold up. Yeah, there's one I gotta add because I ain't see that one. Okay, so let's put this one here, right? Okay, first one. Which game was better? Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time, Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild. I think this is a very easy choice. Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild. Um, I would say Ocarina of Time because I am a guy that remembers playing that game and how much it meant to the Legend of Zelda franchise. If the question was which one meant more to the Legend of Zelda gaming franchise, I would have said Ocarina of Time because I think the 3D creation there paved the way for Breath of the Wild, but that is not the question. The question is which game was better? So, of course, I gotta say Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild was vastly better, it did what Ocarina of Time had, everything, and then some and more, and it is still playable way beyond end game, whereas Ocarina of Time was kind of limited for endgame. Breath of the Wild is not, it is not limited for endgame. You can continue doing a lot of different things. So, I have to give that to Breath of the Wild. I think that's a very easy choice for me. Alright, there we go. That was a good one. That one that one wasn't too difficult for me. I'm gonna be honest. That one was not. Some people be like, oh my goodness, I don't know. But no, that one was very easy. Okay, let's do this one. Next one. Bam! Which game was better? Grand Theft Auto San Andreas or Grand Theft Auto Bye. This is gonna shock a lot of people. They're gonna be surprised by this. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is better to me because I believe within the game, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas had more to do overall. Story-wise, I will give Grand Theft Auto 5 that. I love Grand Theft Auto San Andreas' story, but five story is just so perfectly done. I cannot go against it. But when we're talking about which game was better, San Andreas had so much more to do within the game that felt more purposeful to the game. When you worked out, your guy got really buff. You ran really fast if you kept running, right? You rode the bike constantly. You learn how to ride the bike. Like they had a lot of things, you continue doing these things. Oh, hold on. That didn't loop. There we go. I'm supposed to loop. You keep doing these certain things, you get better at them, and it felt more like San Andreas took an approach that this game is the game you're going to have forever, and we want you to play it forever, even if it's 10 years from now, there'll be something that you can't finish within the game. Grand Theft Auto 5 has that, but they leaning a lot of online updates, patches, and things that they can lean on to because of the time. So it's not really any fault of Grand Theft Auto 5. Whew, that was long-winded, but answer is Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas, final. Okay. I don't know how y'all felt about that one. You know what I'm saying? Okay, Joshua Drake went with Ocarina of Time. I'm glad we went, you know. Okay. He went Ocarina. Not feel you now. I can't even be mad at that because I do feel like it paved the way for Breath of the Wild. You know what I mean? That's why I had to say it. I just feel like Breath of the Wild as far as the game, how vast it is, gameplay, even feeling. I'm not even gonna lie, feeling. Now, if we want to say feeling as far as emotional attachment, yes, Ocarina of Time. You know, do we know the song. You know, you know the song. You're crazy. You know, my horse pulled right up. You know what I'm saying? So let's go ahead and move on to the next one. All right, here we go. On to the next, on, on to the next. Hold up, please. Somebody bring me back the money, please. Ooh. Which game oh, they changed the question up on me. Okay. Which game had a bigger leap? Super Mario World or Super Mario 64? Damn! This is very tough, bro. I don't think people understand how tough this one is. Because the question is, which game had a bigger gaming leap? I remember playing Super Mario World for the first time after playing uh every single Mario there was for Nintendo. Okay, I played every single one. There was Mario 1, 2, 3. I played them all. Okay, then Super Mario World comes along for Super Nintendo. I don't think people realize color depth and how it was when Super Nintendo released. It was so many colors on the screen, it was ridiculous. It made your TV go from a regular game to your game looked beautiful. You wanted to sit there and just look at the screen for how good it looked. Now, hold on, let's loop it. Let's loop it. Let's loop that. There we go. So it's just so much. So but then you got Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 was a game, I'm not even gonna say was a game, it's still a game that gets praise today for almost being a perfect masterpiece in every way, in every single way. I mean, I remember when that game first released, and you talk about the leap in gaming, this game was so beautiful, people stood around to watch it, and you didn't even have to be a gamer. You were just amazed to see a character come to life. It almost felt like watching someone play a cartoon for the first time. For us, we never seen 3D like that, and not only was it done, it was done well, colorful, beautiful. I can't explain how much of a leap it was. Super Mario 64. This is this is definitely Super Mario 64, it was a much bigger leap. That 3D world and the realm, the death, the you know, jumping, seeing how far you're jumping in a 3D world versus like 2D, you know, being able to still carry the 2D feel of power-ups and punching and jumping and the tricks and oh my goodness. Let's just go on to the next one. So, which game had a bigger leap? Super Mario 64. Final answer. Let's move on to the next one. DJC Money said I skipped one. Nah, man, I couldn't, you know, it's it's that was a question. That was a question. I ain't, you know, I couldn't do it. That's what they put in front of me, man. You know what I'm saying? Okay, now we're back to which one is better. So, which game was better? Bioshock the original? Or Bioshock Infinite? A lot of people might think this is tough. Some people might have one or the other, right? I'm one of those people. Bioshock easy. I think Bioshock the Original is the best first person game ever released. Yes, I said that. I think Bioshock is the best first person shooter game ever released. Okay? And I know people might think that's crazy. People think Call of Duty now, I can say Call of Duty, yes, I could. But the reason I'm not gonna say Call of Duty is because we're talking just a single player experience. We are not talking about a multiplayer experience, we're not talking about anything else, we are talking about strictly a single player experience. So, Petrix. Okay, now hold on, Petrix. I'm gonna get to yours. I want to get to the Bioshock one first, okay. Hardware. Bioshock original. Petrix. Hardware. I know y'all feeling me. Bioshock original, man. Y'all know where it's at? Hardware already knew. He knew it was Bioshock Original, man. It ain't nowhere, it ain't nothing else to even talk about. It really ain't. I can tell you, Bioshock is the only first-person shooter game that I have ever played that I was immersed. And that don't happen. It's only about two or three games I can name that that actually happened. Like, and when I mean immersed, I mean to the point where I felt emotionally like the person I was controlling. That's what I love about immersion in a game. Bioshock did that for me. Wasn't many games that can do it. I'm gonna have to go Bioshock. It's actually the best single player, first-person shooter game of all times. And I'm willing to debate that with people. Like, I'm serious on that one. I'm willing to debate Bioshock the Original is the best first-person shooter, single-player game of all time. And there is none better. That's my answer. Now, just to go ahead and help Bioshock Infinite, guys. I do think Bioshock Infinite is a fabulous game. I loved it. Played it inside out, beat it, and the ending is probably one of the best endings I've ever seen in a game. Like, I can say that for Bioshock Infinite. Like, if I don't want to spoil it for anybody, but if you have not played Bioshock Infinite and beat it, please do. It is going to take you for the biggest mind loop that you've ever been for in your life. It is almost like watching one of those movies where they show you the end and everything just kind of rewinds. You go, oh my goodness. Like it was that big. It was a big one. So I give up the ending to Bioshock Infinite. But other than that, which game was better? It's very easy. Bioshock. It's not even close, man. Alright, let's go ahead. Next one. And then I want to go ahead before we start. I want to get to Petrix. When he talked about back in my day, my brother and I were so hyped to play Mario 64. Ooh, okay. That we bought the cart months before we even got an actual NC. Yo, you were not alone on that. Yo, there was so do you know how common that was back then? I don't know if people know. Back then, it was common to buy a game before you got a console. Because you knew you were gonna get the console. Like, you know what I'm saying? So you would just go buy the game, like, hey, I'm gonna get the console eventually. You know what I'm saying? And you just buy the game because games would sell out. People don't know that. Games would sell out back then, and you would probably like not get the game or have to wait or go somewhere far to get it. I remember when trying to get like consoles, like a Super Nintendo console or Nintendo 64 or even the original Xbox, you had to travel places and go to like different toy stores to pick up these systems. It was ruthless back in the day. Like, people don't understand. Alright. But let's go ahead and get to the question. Which game was better? Resident Evil or Resident Evil 2? This is probably the toughest one for me of the day. Because one so near and dear to my heart, so many iconic moments, so many things that if I said to a gamer right away, they would know. The other one was just better every way. So I have to say Resident Evil 2. Resident Evil 2 just took everything for Resident Evil and made it better. Flat out. I mean, if you do not recognize that, then you just don't recognize improvements. I mean, even in character development. Alright? I mean, what was the first one? It was Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine? And then we went from them to Leon. And what was it, Claire? Come on, man. You got the spice. Just look at the character difference. You got the and then you got the spice characters. They knew what they were doing with Resident Evil 2. They took everything that dropped on the first one and ran with it on the second. They knew character development was a big thing because we love the characters from the first one. Wesker! We still talking about Wesker. He's in fighting games for crying out loud. Okay, so is Chris. So without further ado, this answer is Resident Evil 2. Alright. And hardware. Look, I want to I want to go say something on that, man. Hardware. Mind blown indeed. Yo, a lot of people don't know, man. And I'm just gonna say this, and this is just about Bioshock. I I don't want to go too much on a tangent, okay? Because I go on a tangent on a long time. Bioshock. If you have not played Bioshock, please play it in its entirety. Do not, and now they have the uh remaster version. I played the remaster version too. Matter of fact, did I play the remaster version? Y'all, I don't know. I don't know if I did. I might be lying. I might be lying. I need to go get the remaster version right now. I need to play that. Because Bioshock is one of those that as you play through the story, it's well written. The gameplay is great. The fathom of world underwater, the way it's done, the people, the mind states. I'm not gonna go any further. Play it. Play it. That's all I gotta say. So that is Choose Y'all hey. Y'all know we did it. We killed the show. As always, uh, DJC Money, you had the link now. I'm trying to bring you in. You know, um, a couple things too before we out, because I know we got I want to talk to you guys uh specifically about some things we have coming this week. Um so you guys know my schedule. A lot of people on Twitch uh really need to know because you guys don't really have a schedule up there on Twitch. I want to go ahead and kind of kind of put you in a loop, right? So uh first of all, I was out and not going live at all because I was out of town. Daughter, um, high school graduation. Big shout out to daughter for graduating. You know what I mean? I gotta go ahead and give a what I got. I'm sure I got I don't want to play the wrong sound. Damn, I knew I was gonna do it. Let's see what this one is. I give my daughter Lil Wolfpack music. She graduated from high school. Graduated from high school, man. Anytime you can get a high school graduate, you definitely want to celebrate already things she's doing. Uh, you know, so children are on to bigger and better things, man. So shout out to kids. That's first. Second thing is to um everybody on Twitch. I a lot of people have been saying, Nick, we want to choose your fate marathons, and you've been BSing. Well, I have a computer that is set up specifically for the Choose Your Fate Marathon, so I don't have to hold up the main desktop because that was a lot of the issue when I run the marathons. I can't use the desktop as I'm doing it, even though I have other screens, a lot of times it it's it's hard to do. I'ma just say that. So, what I'm gonna be doing is actually using a separate PC we now have that will be handling all of our streams. If you want that on other platforms, y'all want that on YouTube, Facebook, other things, we might do a couple streams that are across platform, but the majority of the marathons will be brought to Twitch. It's kind of a thing we started doing on Twitch. So if everybody else wants it on other platforms, we will do. But that's for Twitch. As far as the podcast, we're gonna be uploading these episodes. Uh, you know, we want to have them on the next day, which is Monday. So when you listen on Monday, you should be hearing the most current episodes. All you have to do is speak to Google, Alexa, whoever it may be, and just go ahead and shout out Dick Moses05 Gaming Podcast latest episode, and it will play it for you. We're across all podcast formats. Um, so no matter if you're driving in the car, you're on a plane, bro. You might be just on the plane listening to podcasts. You can go ahead and cut this podcast on, man, and chill back and relax. Okay. So, um, what else? There's something else I got. I know it's it's plenty of stuff I got. Oh, also, games coming up. We got uh shooting simulator, we got a couple others. Those are time. We gotta do those. Um we got Oddbit. We got we got so many games to play. So Twitch is where a lot of those are gonna be happening. Also, oh, that's the that's what it was. Twitch, we have uh dual streaming as well. So Twitch will be getting vertical and landscape streaming as well when it comes to gaming. All right, so big shout out. And that's why a lot of those game streams are gonna be, or the marathon as well would be for Twitch. We want to be able to have it for both formats. So, without further ado, I did I don't see anybody else. So here, yo. Dap me up, everybody, for tuning in. Yo, shout out to hardware, man. Appreciate you, Petrix, my dog, DJC Money.
