  back, relax and enjoy Open Coms Radio.
• 1:13
  Well done, Lord Nubis. Lord Nubis.
• 1:15
  I'm going to be honest. I don't know what we planned.
• 1:17
  I never know what we planned. I had like spelled it out.
• 1:21
  It was, it was really cool. You said weather.
• 1:23
  You spelled weather. We're not.
• 1:25
  People aren't logging in here for the weather, they're here.
• 1:29
  They're here for drug laced green drinks.
• 1:34
  We want. We want to talk about teeth
• 1:35
  nagging. Yeah, it's looking, man.
• 1:37
  It's it's they're either listening to this or like Iran.
• 1:41
  So this is this is just no, they're watching One Piece
• 1:44
  season 2. Oh yeah, right.
• 1:46
  You I saw Castlevania. You saw the Castlevania show,
• 1:49
  anybody? No, yeah, it's not like the
• 1:52
  first season. It's good.
• 1:53
  Very good. Both both the Castlevania and
• 1:57
  Nocturne were both incredible. Yeah, Lord Nubis, thank you for
• 2:02
  coming to Opening Comms Radio, your Star Citizen call and show
• 2:04
  this week's question. Can I play Star Citizen with my
• 2:07
  kids? Well, I don't have kids.
• 2:13
  The closest thing I have to it would be like my girlfriend's
• 2:16
  kid. And you know, he well, step kid,
• 2:22
  he's in his 20s now and really got into it.
• 2:25
  And I would say that this is not even a comparison to what you're
• 2:30
  looking for, But I would, I would think that as as as a
• 2:37
  parent, you know, raises a kid in the Internet age that I don't
• 2:45
  really think there really are any safe spaces.
• 2:49
  It really comes down to, you know, are you going to
• 2:51
  participate in an online activity with the proper
• 2:56
  parenting to teach a kid? Hey, look, you're going to see
• 2:59
  some things that are disturbing. You're going to see these
• 3:02
  things. We can talk about it.
• 3:03
  And if they can trust you, then you really don't really have to
• 3:06
  worry about too much because they'll come to you, you know,
• 3:09
  So can you play with your kid? Yeah.
• 3:12
  Just, you know, just like anything else, you just it's
• 3:17
  it's more meta than that. You know, can I say something
• 3:20
  when when we decided on this topic that I thought the
• 3:24
  conversation was going to go differently in my mind, I was
• 3:27
  like, kids can't play Star Citizen.
• 3:29
  Kids are dumb. And that's like how the
• 3:33
  trajectory I thought this conversations go you.
• 3:35
  Guys are they're annoyingly smart.
• 3:37
  Jar jar. The education of jar jar.
• 3:41
  I don't know, dude, all, all my nephews and, and they're all
• 3:45
  like little babies. You know, what's we, I'll just
• 3:49
  put it this way. Gen.
• 3:51
  Alpha has what, no cap or cap, You know, we expose the
• 3:55
  millennial Ziennial or whatever they call me now.
• 3:58
  I don't know what that means. I think that's, I think that's
• 4:00
  Gen. Well, it no cap means, you know,
• 4:04
  I'm saying this truthfully, There's there's no lies here.
• 4:07
  Gotcha. But The thing is, is that that
• 4:10
  actually dates back to a word from the 15th century, which was
• 4:13
  a capper was a person who was known for telling lies.
• 4:16
  So when someone is saying they're not capping, they would
• 4:19
  say that in, in, in the 15th century.
• 4:21
  So they're bringing back shit way back in the way back in the
• 4:24
  day. And they're annoyingly smart, as
• 4:26
  as Duke said. The human evolution.
• 4:30
  I met 15 year old. Well that will be a kid, right?
• 4:36
  Or maybe he was. He was 14.
• 4:37
  His name. Oh, OK, let's not even talk
• 4:40
  about his name, but met him at an entre atmosphere and he was
• 4:44
  with his dad there too. He came to the event and most of
• 4:48
  the time we actually thought that it was his dad who played
• 4:52
  the game and he was hanging around, but it was the other way
• 4:54
  around. His dad knew nothing about Star
• 4:56
  Citizen, but he brought his kid over there.
• 5:00
  Since then, I met this kid multiple times because we he
• 5:04
  joined the Discord and he's in the same organization now,
• 5:06
  Southern Cross Alliance in Australia.
• 5:09
  What a brilliant kid he is. It's like he's way wiser beyond
• 5:17
  his years way. The way he talks to you, the way
• 5:21
  he behaves. I think Star Set is actually
• 5:25
  perfect for a certain kind of, you know, temperament.
• 5:29
  It's very patient. You can't do anything quick.
• 5:32
  It's absolutely opposite of all the other games that the kids
• 5:37
  are feeding on. Yeah, it is.
• 5:40
  It's not. You know, Fortnite's really
• 5:42
  twitchy, right? I played that recently.
• 5:46
  All those games, they're like really fast and and really
• 5:48
  twitchy. I think Overwatch and stuff.
• 5:51
  They're an assault on your they're like an assault on your
• 5:55
  senses at sometimes like even sound, visuals, everything is
• 5:58
  just all over the place. I, I, I even, I, I cannot even,
• 6:03
  I can't play the games. I can't play Overwatch because
• 6:06
  my reflexes are not that sharp. It's not a judgement on the game
• 6:10
  spot. Those kind of things don't
• 6:11
  appeal to me. I like slow gameplay and Star
• 6:14
  Citizen gives me that. Well, if you like slow gameplay
• 6:18
  and Star Citizen, they're one second Duke.
• 6:21
  They're increasing time to kill. Yeah.
• 6:24
  Is getting high. Yes, Yes.
• 6:25
  Yes. Yes, Yes, Yeah.
• 6:27
  What do we think about this? Everything is fluid Jar Jar and
• 6:31
  I would like to actually hear about what everybody thinks
• 6:34
  about it because not just the TTK but everything it starts,
• 6:38
  it's like every part of the gameplay, like everything we
• 6:41
  know is going to change. This is not the final iteration
• 6:45
  and we see Reddit and I'm not going to say content creators
• 6:50
  because they need something to talk about and they will pick on
• 6:52
  anything. But the discussion about how
• 6:55
  much we talk about min maxing things, why this is being done
• 6:59
  this way to the level that it's not feedback anymore, but it's
• 7:03
  like our personal priorities. Does it make any sense?
• 7:07
  Because this everything's going to change, nothing's going to
• 7:10
  stay the same. We are at tier 0 at most of the
• 7:14
  things. Do we need to worry about this?
• 7:17
  What do you guys think? I I think with engineering
• 7:21
  coming, it's going to change that entire dynamic altogether.
• 7:24
  It's going to change organically.
• 7:27
  Yeah, there you go. Draco.
• 7:30
  Yeah, I, I think, I think if you look at just shift compat in, in
• 7:38
  a vacuum, it, it, it doesn't seem like it's, it's going to be
• 7:42
  as much fun. But if you look at the scope of
• 7:45
  the whole game where you're having to spend so much time
• 7:48
  prepping at like getting your vehicles on to let's just say
• 7:53
  your Asgard, right? If your Asgard doesn't go down
• 7:56
  as fast, it doesn't feel like you wasted so much.
• 7:58
  So I think from like perspective of like the, the, the whole
• 8:02
  game, I, I, I think increasing the time to kill just makes it
• 8:06
  feel better. But whenever you're looking at
• 8:08
  just Ace Combat it, it's it's not going to feel as good.
• 8:12
  Anyone else have an opinion on on TTK right now?
• 8:15
  I know our next guest has an opinion so.
• 8:17
  Oh I'm all for hire TTK it just. Well, if if it helps delay our
• 8:22
  next guest, then yeah, I have an opinion.
• 8:25
  So no, I mean, I mean, there is an aspect of going Pve and kind
• 8:32
  of feeling like a badass sometimes and it feels kind of
• 8:35
  good. You know, maybe they need to
• 8:38
  have missions where you can kind of do more swarm kind of things
• 8:41
  in game rather than, you know, ones that, you know, I mean,
• 8:47
  because, because usually when they have smaller games or, or
• 8:50
  sorry, hurry, sorry, lower level missions, they they tend to only
• 8:55
  have, you know, a few enemies. There's not like the waves and
• 8:59
  waves and waves. And I think that they need more
• 9:01
  of that kind of stuff. OK, Murphy Jack, you're here on
• 9:07
  open comms radio. Murphy Jack, I feel like you're
• 9:10
  going to prefer to take a stab at time to kill here.
• 9:14
  What do you think of the time to kill increases that have been
• 9:18
  advertised to us? Yeah, yeah.
• 9:21
  I don't really have much to say about kids and sources.
• 9:24
  And I mean, it's great, bring them in.
• 9:29
  But yeah, TTK Well, yesterday we kind of, we tested some things
• 9:34
  out a little more and there's extreme salt being thrown
• 9:38
  everywhere about this. And I really, I think the
• 9:43
  consensus we came to last night when we were talking is they
• 9:46
  didn't go far enough on certain ships and they went too far on
• 9:50
  other ships. Meaning light fighters, medium
• 9:53
  fighters got like a higher TTK when they really shouldn't have,
• 10:00
  if anything should almost go less.
• 10:03
  And they should have made the weapons like making attritions
• 10:09
  able to punch through everything.
• 10:11
  Even a Perseus is kind of like, well.
• 10:14
  Wait, what was the point? Kind of kind of dial it back a
• 10:17
  little bit like make it so the infernos, the the ions, the
• 10:26
  cannon loadouts, all that have a an actual purpose where they got
• 10:32
  to come in and whittle away at that armor for you.
• 10:35
  So then like your fighters, your traditional fighters with your
• 10:39
  repeaters or whatever can come in and do damage to the bigger
• 10:43
  ships or fight their escorts that have repeaters and stuff on
• 10:48
  them. I just feel like they they kind
• 10:51
  of didn't go far enough in some ways.
• 10:55
  And it, it just, it goes back to multi cruise ships being like
• 11:02
  good. I mean, I feel like we just keep
• 11:04
  dancing around the fact that they need to make turrets able
• 11:07
  to hit targets, whether that's be make turret weapons bespoke
• 11:11
  like they did with the vehicle missiles, right?
• 11:16
  Being able to have these vehicle missiles that lock on at shorter
• 11:19
  distances and all that stuff, why not have bespoke turret
• 11:23
  weapons that have a faster velocity than so they can
• 11:28
  actually reach out and touch these targets, these light
• 11:32
  fighters. Do you mean a faster turning
• 11:34
  velocity or a bullet velocity? No bullet velocity.
• 11:38
  OK. I mean, because, because when we
• 11:40
  were running the the Banner Defender guns, the, I forget the
• 11:45
  name of them, but the Banner Defender guns on the yeah, yeah.
• 11:48
  The Singes on the Hurricane, that muzzle, the the projectile
• 11:54
  velocity is what made it worthwhile.
• 11:57
  I mean, getting not to mention the high alpha, but it took a
• 12:01
  bit to get used to those weapons.
• 12:02
  But that just shows like the higher projectile speed makes a
• 12:07
  turret deadlier. I mean, that's to me, it seems
• 12:10
  kind of like a simple change, but I understand maybe why they
• 12:13
  can't because or it's not a simple change because it's, you
• 12:17
  know, the weapons. You can take a turret weapon and
• 12:18
  put it on your ship, right? Right.
• 12:22
  I mean, they're the same guns. It just goes back to.
• 12:25
  There's got to be a way to get the both attached to the turret,
• 12:28
  you'd think. If attritions are going to get
• 12:30
  through everything then it's just the loadouts just shifted
• 12:34
  on the fighters, not their tactics.
• 12:39
  I mean, they're still just going to come and whittle.
• 12:41
  Away at you, dance around. You're in a hammerhead.
• 12:44
  You in a hammerhead, an anti anti fighter Corvette.
• 12:48
  You can't do anything PvP. Of course.
• 12:53
  Did did the radar changes make that feel any better?
• 12:58
  Not really, because it's kind of the same when you have your
• 13:00
  power in there. I mean, I get what they're
• 13:05
  trying to do with that, but it's, it doesn't seem like
• 13:10
  enough, you know? Well, it seems.
• 13:13
  Like a Yeah I. Don't want to say it's half
• 13:15
  baked, but it is like it's whether or not whatever their
• 13:20
  vision or plan is currently in its current form, it's half
• 13:24
  baked. Well, remember everything they,
• 13:29
  they tried the what was it something with the distances,
• 13:32
  right? The the distance got shortened
• 13:34
  or something to bring the fighters in closer.
• 13:37
  Yes, that got reverted. Yeah.
• 13:40
  Then I swear when we were playing, when we were playing in
• 13:44
  evil, I could have swore that we had we're doing damage with like
• 13:49
  attritions, but I, I apparently we were, but I thought when we
• 13:52
  were talking and scheming, we were like, oh man, finally it'll
• 13:55
  give a reason for like the vanguard come in with a
• 13:59
  sideswipe cannons and stuff. But it's just like we're just
• 14:03
  kind of like it's, it's a good start.
• 14:08
  But I mean, I don't know, it's just, it's just, this has always
• 14:12
  been a topic for the past, what, 10 years?
• 14:15
  It's just keeps going around and around and around.
• 14:17
  And why haven't we increased muscle velocity?
• 14:20
  And that's why we even got into like 3 crafting of engineering.
• 14:23
  You know, like have the engineer put more, put more power pips
• 14:31
  or, or shift power from like having your, your clip size in
• 14:35
  the turret, make your clip size smaller.
• 14:38
  But as you're making it smaller, you're increasing the velocity
• 14:40
  of the projectiles. But have it so only engineer can
• 14:44
  do it and, like, shift power around.
• 14:46
  And it's complicated, but, you know, make the engineer vital in
• 14:50
  this too on these bigger ships, 'cause right now they're
• 14:55
  arguably not really worth it, except in these really, like,
• 15:00
  niche cases like we had with the address the other night where we
• 15:03
  got boarded and fire and all that stuff.
• 15:08
  But I just, yeah. That's well, I'm wondering if,
• 15:11
  yeah, go for it, if they if they could introduce a system where
• 15:15
  an engineer can craft maybe, you know, like a mining of gadgets,
• 15:20
  but maybe an engineer can craft more effective gadgets that
• 15:25
  let's say boost, you know, your engine speed or boost your, you
• 15:31
  know, your, your fire rate for a certain amount of time or, or,
• 15:34
  or or or. Well, they talked about tuning.
• 15:37
  I mean tuning. Was this supposed to be a thing?
• 15:39
  Remember and then I mean they it's even sort of in there
• 15:42
  because you can save the presets, but.
• 15:45
  Yeah. I mean back in the day we used
• 15:47
  to be able to over clock components.
• 15:50
  I mean it it was just pushing a button but still like.
• 15:57
  Yeah, I think, I think, I think that's the kind of stuff now
• 15:59
  that they have more flexibility with that they could bring in
• 16:02
  and and who knows, maybe they might be planning on it.
• 16:05
  I I'm I haven't seen anything about that like recently, but I
• 16:10
  mean it's possible. Since everybody talks about
• 16:17
  multi crew not being deadly and that should be the focus is
• 16:21
  making you put all that effort in putting 6 people in a
• 16:24
  hammerhead or what have you, right?
• 16:28
  You should be a threat like it should be deadly and you should
• 16:32
  have to counter that. But yeah, right now there's just
• 16:36
  0. You get a couple confident
• 16:40
  people and light fighters and you're done.
• 16:44
  Yeah, and then I feel like sorry.
• 16:46
  Go Duke. It it should be noted for anyone
• 16:48
  wondering, but Murphy is a fighter jock.
• 16:53
  Yeah, if you couldn't tell. No, it's like he he's arguing to
• 16:56
  to weaken his own side here. He he wants the multi cruise
• 16:59
  ships to to be stronger. You know he's not.
• 17:02
  He's not a Care Bear sitting in his Idris complaining that he
• 17:07
  can't solo it. I mean, you want, I guess you
• 17:10
  want a reason to jump into an Aries.
• 17:13
  Yeah, I want the reason for the bigger ships for the, you know,
• 17:18
  you know, back when the Redeemer was good, remember years ago, we
• 17:23
  loved it and we we'd go out and scan the ground for the
• 17:26
  ballistas and that whole multi crew of talking to and you know,
• 17:31
  like Dystorpius, right, the the old Dystorpius talking to your
• 17:36
  gunner. And that interaction is so good.
• 17:40
  But you just, I mean, you have it with fighters, but it's just
• 17:44
  different, you know? I miss the Redeemer that was.
• 17:47
  I do too. Well, make the Redeemer great
• 17:52
  again because. Things we miss, we have hold on,
• 17:56
  hold on, hold on. We have another caller here who
• 17:59
  who's been waiting for us and and and and and being very
• 18:02
  patient. It is you know him, you love
• 18:04
  him. It is Wicket.
• 18:05
  Wicket, welcome to Open Comms Radio, your Star Citizen call in
• 18:09
  show. You know, you can call in every
• 18:10
  Wednesday at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, 6:00 PM Pacific Time at 10
• 18:15
  AM New Zealand, Perth time, Perth time Wicket.
• 18:23
  Can I play Star Citizen with my kids?
• 18:26
  Citizens, long time listener, occasional caller.
• 18:31
  And the short answer is the short answer is no, you cannot
• 18:39
  play Star Citizen with your children.
• 18:41
  Finally, someone with some sense.
• 18:43
  In the Western world, that would be considered child abuse.
• 18:52
  What are you? What are you trying to do?
• 18:54
  You're exposing the child to this.
• 18:58
  I don't know what it's called. No, of course, of course you can
• 19:01
  play with your kids. But I would say that most kids
• 19:06
  nowadays, the younger, the gaming generation, I think their
• 19:10
  attention span is lacking. You know, they've been
• 19:13
  conditioned to swipe, swipe, swipe.
• 19:15
  They constantly needing that, that, that adrenaline.
• 19:19
  Of course there are going to be some some exceptions to that
• 19:22
  rule lenses son being one, this other kid that he was talking
• 19:26
  about, you know, these are exceptions.
• 19:28
  But I think for the most part, I don't know if you've ever seen
• 19:31
  those videos on YouTube where the guy goes like in the Times
• 19:34
  Square in New York City and he'd ask questions like he just pick
• 19:37
  some random young adult or adolescent out of the crowd and
• 19:41
  says, Hey, what, when was the the War of 1812?
• 19:46
  And they're like thinking and thinking, Oh, 2000, you know,
• 19:52
  that guy, I'm sure you've seen him.
• 19:54
  And, and, and I think that's the majority of, of, of the
• 19:58
  population. I don't know how it is
• 20:00
  everywhere else, but in the United States, most people are
• 20:03
  kind of dumb. Of course there are going to be
• 20:05
  exceptions. And I've tried to get my kids to
• 20:09
  play and I have adult children, as you all know.
• 20:12
  And my daughter when she used to I.
• 20:16
  Literally did not know this. I have AI have grandkids hobo.
• 20:21
  Yeah, when we call him Old Man Wicket.
• 20:24
  Like, I mean, I knew that part. It was the.
• 20:28
  I mean, that was pretty obvious. Yeah, well, the, my daughter
• 20:33
  used to usually come home pretty late at night and she'd see me
• 20:37
  sitting here playing, you know, Star Citizen and she'd, oh, you
• 20:40
  got these new joysticks. Why'd you have to have two of
• 20:43
  them? It's like, well, it's, you know,
• 20:45
  the preferred method of flying these spaceships.
• 20:47
  Oh, OK. She even knows the name Murphy
• 20:50
  Jack. It's like, how do you know
• 20:53
  Murphy? Jack knows that name.
• 20:54
  And, and you know, in the Western world, that's considered
• 20:57
  abuse. Well.
• 20:59
  Of course she would look and because you know I have multi
• 21:01
  monitors. She always saw Murphy Jack's
• 21:03
  name in the discord. She says are you playing with
• 21:06
  your buddy Murphy Jack? I said amongst others.
• 21:10
  Yes, but I one day she sat down next to me and she watched me
• 21:15
  start the game. And then after about 20 minutes,
• 21:20
  you know, I'm finally leaving the hangar getting ready to do a
• 21:22
  mission, she says. She said, let me stop you a
• 21:25
  minute. She says, are you getting paid
• 21:30
  to do this or did you pay to do this?
• 21:38
  And I'm like, no, this is a this is a game.
• 21:41
  And I'm like, she says, OK, well, I'm going to bed.
• 21:44
  I'll talk to you tomorrow. Now, my son, on the other hand,
• 21:48
  he's a avid gamer. He's been playing World of
• 21:50
  Warcraft since Burning Crusade. I mean, you know, he's very,
• 21:55
  very good at games. He's exceptionally good at
• 21:57
  games. I don't know if you guys know
• 22:00
  what parsing is. That's that's how you get like
• 22:03
  scores in World of Warcraft that other people in the world can
• 22:06
  see. He's like top ten in a lot of
• 22:08
  encounters in World of Warcraft, even to this day.
• 22:10
  And he's he's got his own kids now.
• 22:13
  And I've tried to get him to play this game and every time I
• 22:16
  do the first thing out of his mouth, You're still playing that
• 22:20
  scam. Are you still sending money to
• 22:22
  those scammers? And I'm like, man, it's not a
• 22:27
  scam, you know? But I get what he's saying and
• 22:33
  this and this and this I don't think.
• 22:39
  It's a scam forever. No, I think it's a scam.
• 22:42
  But I do say this, I will say this like we were talking about
• 22:48
  earlier in the chat of Twitch, we were talking a little bit
• 22:50
  about, you know, they need to advertise for for Squadron 42
• 22:56
  single player campaign. I really think they need them to
• 23:01
  to, to get that out to the folks, to the people and let
• 23:06
  folks know because the people who most everybody who's going
• 23:09
  to play that game for 100% sure we they already have that money.
• 23:13
  That money was paid to to CIG years and years and years ago.
• 23:18
  That money's been spent, right? It's incredibly difficult time
• 23:23
  for them at the moment because you know, usually you know,
• 23:27
  these kind of games especially I mean this still is kind of
• 23:31
  cutting edge I guess you need decent specs and PC building is
• 23:36
  hard right now. So they're going to need to go
• 23:38
  console too. That May.
• 23:39
  And that may be true, but again, again, every game recently, like
• 23:47
  there's so many games out there, like single, single dev games
• 23:51
  that have made it fairly big have been super successful.
• 23:55
  And one of the main reasons has been is because content
• 23:58
  creators, streamers have adopted those games and said, hell, this
• 24:02
  is fun as hell. And, you know, their
• 24:04
  communities, that word of mouth, that signal boosting really
• 24:08
  drives it home. And there's still, there's a lot
• 24:10
  of content creators that do Star Citizen, but they're mostly
• 24:13
  small. There's a couple of big ones
• 24:15
  that play it now and then. But for the most part, we need
• 24:20
  fresh blood. All of us here are going to play
• 24:23
  Star Citizen Squadron 42. All of our friends?
• 24:26
  Oh, no go. Ahead, all the people that all
• 24:32
  of us, most of the anybody that will listen to this podcast,
• 24:35
  they're all going to play Squadron 42 and they've already
• 24:39
  paid to play Squadron 42 probably 10 plus years ago when
• 24:42
  they bought their little package that gave them the, the, the,
• 24:46
  the MMO persistent universe and SC2042, right?
• 24:51
  So they need new money, I would think, and I think they need to
• 24:55
  advertise for that. They need to start now.
• 24:57
  Like if they don't, if we don't start seeing some ads or
• 25:00
  something January or excuse me, March, latest sometime in April.
• 25:04
  I was hoping by now we would already see something.
• 25:06
  If they really plan to release it by the end of the year.
• 25:11
  Christmas time is an awesome time to to to to release it.
• 25:15
  You know, I can see that. And I think it should be.
• 25:19
  It should be a $50 game, no more than 60 at the most for the
• 25:24
  people that it didn't buy in because you're going to get so
• 25:29
  much new fresh eyes, so much new fresh blood into the
• 25:32
  infrastructure of of this game. And if it's good, I mean, I
• 25:37
  think it's going to be pretty good.
• 25:38
  But if it's really good and, and folks really have that amazing
• 25:43
  experience and it's not janky as hell, I think it's going to push
• 25:49
  our game that we all love so much really over the edge.
• 25:53
  I think that's that's going to be the thing that really drives
• 25:56
  home with these folks have been trying to do all these years.
• 25:59
  But they they have to commit and they have to get it over the
• 26:02
  finish line. And the longer the wait, the
• 26:06
  worse it's going to be, I think. Now, when you're talking about
• 26:10
  the. Kids Yeah, sorry.
• 26:13
  Beautifully, beautifully said. Can I just say some just just
• 26:17
  very short and then you can take over.
• 26:20
  Agreed. The squad and is going to bring
• 26:24
  the fresh people, the fresh money.
• 26:27
  This Star Citizen also needs to be in a very good shape for that
• 26:33
  because after they play Squad and they will be coming to
• 26:36
  Stars, that isn't enough to that.
• 26:38
  We also need this online experience to be ready to
• 26:43
  receive them and have at least 60 to 70% good experience.
• 26:49
  Yeah, I agree with that. I don't know if that's going to
• 26:53
  happen, that part. But.
• 26:56
  You know, they're they're saving grace has always been well,
• 26:58
  we're we're in development. This is open development, you
• 27:02
  know, yes, you know, but the average consumer of video games
• 27:07
  nowadays, the average attention span that we were talking about
• 27:10
  earlier people there, there are so many different things to
• 27:14
  focus on constantly that take a lot less resources, that take a
• 27:18
  lot less time. And if you want to get the
• 27:22
  attention of of a gamer that has a lot of disposable income, I
• 27:27
  mean, let's face it, most of the people that play this game are
• 27:30
  pretty damn old. You know, I heard, I've heard
• 27:32
  rumors that the average age is close to 40.
• 27:35
  Oh no, it has come down, No. No, no.
• 27:39
  It used to be 37, but in the recent years it has actually
• 27:43
  come down to below 30. But yeah.
• 27:46
  But you need a heck of a. System.
• 27:48
  You need a heck of a system to play it, you know?
• 27:52
  Then there's all these ancillary things like, oh, do you need eye
• 27:55
  tracker or head tracker? Do you need sticks?
• 27:58
  I mean, you can't technically you don't need any of that.
• 28:01
  You can get away with a pretty basic system.
• 28:04
  If you know, if you're playing 1080P and you're playing kind of
• 28:09
  minimum stuff, I think you can get away with almost anything to
• 28:14
  to get it to play. It's not going to be great,
• 28:16
  let's face it. And of course, of course, the
• 28:19
  game, you know, the one thing that we always and to lean back
• 28:23
  against this, oh, they haven't optimized it yet.
• 28:25
  Wait till it gets optimized right.
• 28:29
  And I hope that's I hope that is going to be a thing.
• 28:32
  I hope it gets optimized to the point where you can, you know,
• 28:36
  put a 56700 dollar graphics card because you know, that's like a
• 28:40
  kind of a basic graphic card Now, you know, there's not a lot
• 28:44
  of people that can afford a four 3 to $4000 graphics card and,
• 28:50
  and put it into a like a, a, a, a two or three or $4000
• 28:54
  computer. That is true.
• 28:56
  Not everybody is a baller like Jar Jar.
• 28:59
  Not everybody's like me baby balling here everyday hanging
• 29:04
  out, reading your comments, reading your comments here on
• 29:07
  open comms radio. That's what we do.
• 29:08
  We like to read your listener comments.
• 29:11
  It's a call in show. We, we started to read comments
• 29:14
  to have your opinions to, to learn a little bit about, about
• 29:18
  everyone here. And, and what we're going to do
• 29:20
  today is we're going to read your comments out loud across
• 29:25
  all the platforms. If you commented on the YouTube
• 29:28
  or you were on the Spotify or everything except for the
• 29:31
  Deezer, because I can't get into the back end of the Deezer.
• 29:35
  It is lens you can't get into. Blue sky I cannot get.
• 29:38
  Into. Deezer, Deezer.
• 29:40
  That is a black hole. So honestly, put your negative
• 29:44
  comments on Deezer and everything else you can.
• 29:48
  You can put everywhere else. Duke later the second you have
• 29:50
  some of our recent listener comments here.
• 29:53
  This section of the show is called Listening to Comments
• 29:58
  from Listeners. All right.
• 30:02
  I'm going to I'm going to start with with an important one here,
• 30:05
  which is from at Spicy SCO 7 and and he or she said I like the
• 30:14
  intro song. That must be a.
• 30:19
  Clown must be a clown. That's been a pretty unanimous
• 30:23
  everywhere, but I've seen it, So that's good.
• 30:26
  Then I, I, I like this one from at anti Wait a minute, hold on
• 30:31
  at anti Lib delusions anyway, and it's looking at the
• 30:38
  thumbnail which which shows a lovely lady, which which usually
• 30:42
  represents cosmic hobo in our YouTube shorts and it says
• 30:46
  that's a dude clearly. So Hobo is is famously Hobo's
• 30:53
  character is is a lady. So if you happen to watch the
• 30:58
  shorts, Hobo is a lady in the shorts but.
• 31:02
  Lady in the shorts but a a dude in the cheats or.
• 31:05
  So there you go, hobo, how do you feel?
• 31:09
  I, I don't know, it's it, it, it depends on your, your, your,
• 31:17
  your viewpoint of clearly as as, as looking at my avatar.
• 31:22
  I would, I would not call that a dude.
• 31:25
  Yeah, I, I believe they have eyesight issues in in, in that
• 31:30
  instance. Yeah, I think it's also a point
• 31:34
  of a dude voice. I think it's one of those anti
• 31:37
  Lib dudes that spends a lot of time checking for Adam's apples,
• 31:40
  yeah. I think it's important.
• 31:42
  To note that that that guy obviously does not know how to
• 31:45
  play and is a complete new Bob. Because a smaller hit box works
• 31:51
  better in the game when you're playing PP, and that's why you
• 31:54
  suck at at at at all contested zones.
• 31:57
  And that's why you get stomped constantly.
• 31:59
  And no one wants to be. No one wants you in your org.
• 32:02
  So go, bitch, all right? Yeah.
• 32:05
  Little bitch. Like comments, tea bagging, tea
• 32:07
  bagging, right. Like Halo One?
• 32:10
  Yeah. Take that, nerds.
• 32:13
  That's what you get for commenting on one of our videos.
• 32:19
  OK, Tiki's house. Oh, this is this was, this is a
• 32:23
  big one here, Tikisao says. I like the new intro.
• 32:27
  What? Yeah.
• 32:29
  Damn right. Or terrible comments, by the
• 32:32
  way, these are coming. Up those are paid actors.
• 32:35
  Fake news this. Is not We don't have you speak
• 32:38
  from. California.
• 32:41
  Hey, wait a minute. California let's let's let's
• 32:45
  spread some of the heat here at I'm having a coronary.
• 32:49
  Seems like they should probably take care of that.
• 32:53
  The only thing CIG cares to know is how to bait and switch their
• 32:57
  supporters with new OP ships that replace old nerfed ships
• 33:03
  and will be nerfed before the next ship sail.
• 33:06
  That's it. That's all they want to know.
• 33:10
  I mean, we got Levski and we got fucking engineering and
• 33:13
  everything else like that. I mean, like, you're clearly
• 33:15
  objectively wrong. No, you know, I'm with.
• 33:19
  Him. I feel like you.
• 33:20
  Would already know that like I. Don't think that's.
• 33:24
  Like that would be something they already know, So what would
• 33:29
  be to know there? No at vio blight, vio blight,
• 33:39
  vio light. I hate to add on to the scope
• 33:41
  creep but one day a bullet resistant shield and a power
• 33:46
  sword would be cool. Wait a minute, I feel like we've
• 33:48
  heard from this person before. Maybe?
• 33:50
  Maybe for close quarters combat boarding or something.
• 33:52
  I own a legionnaire and I feel like my boarding party will get
• 33:55
  shredded or grenade as soon as well.
• 33:58
  Yeah yeah we've read this comment before.
• 33:59
  I think Jar jar and they were right.
• 34:01
  We should have a Shields in our on our arm and we should run in
• 34:04
  there with with covenant swords. Wasn't it somewhere mentioned
• 34:09
  that we're definitely getting a Cortana eventually in Star
• 34:12
  Citizen? I think they were joking about
• 34:14
  that at one point and I think they had said that they actually
• 34:17
  modelled it, but we're getting. A We're getting a crossbow, so.
• 34:22
  I was going to say we were supposed to have a crossbow like
• 34:24
  2. Years ago this year.
• 34:25
  Yeah, it's coming this year. Oh, your damn lightsaber sig.
• 34:29
  Where? Where is it, Chris?
• 34:30
  Oh, Chris. Wicket.
• 34:32
  Wicket. Who should we be asking,
• 34:33
  actually? He's going to do.
• 34:36
  Sandy, it's. Always.
• 34:38
  No, don't forget Sandy, OK? At subprime, Porcupine says.
• 34:43
  And then you go to lead the hangar and blow up to an
• 34:46
  invisible thing that didn't render.
• 34:48
  And then you get to the planet, open the ramp, and fall into the
• 34:52
  By the way, subprime porcupine, commas and periods are your
• 34:56
  friend. Fall into the center of planet
• 34:59
  through a magical hole that looks like solid ground at the
• 35:02
  end of the ramp. Ellipses.
• 35:04
  That's a good pause. I like that.
• 35:05
  Ellipses are good and they get you to Hathor.
• 35:09
  Try to shoot something with -15 FPS.
• 35:12
  That might be a personal problem as well.
• 35:13
  And two hours of desync when the server decides the AI is going
• 35:17
  to work properly and everything crashes and you just lost 10
• 35:21
  hours of time. Poof.
• 35:23
  I feel like Subprime Porcupine is having a really rough time
• 35:27
  out there in the verse. Switch to Spectrum, Pioneer
• 35:30
  Computer. Yeah, yeah.
• 35:33
  Get one of those $4000 graphics cards.
• 35:36
  Yeah. Right and then send me your old
• 35:38
  one because I need to build. That guy, that guy sounds like
• 35:40
  he's playing on the China servers.
• 35:44
  My what? This is the last one we have
• 35:47
  this evening which which? Well, we got.
• 35:49
  One from Nikki D below. We got one from Nikki D at the
• 35:51
  bottom there. Nikki D called him today.
• 35:55
  It's a long 1 though. Oh, Jesus, Nikki.
• 35:59
  I know. Nikki.
• 36:00
  Nikki. Drew VIX.
• 36:03
  All right. There should be avenues in Star
• 36:05
  Citizens to allow for people to avoid combat to get at least a
• 36:07
  significant percentage of blueprints.
• 36:10
  I agree there should be a large amount of blueprints that can be
• 36:13
  sold by players to other players after they're obtained.
• 36:16
  I think that's the idea. There should be some blueprints
• 36:19
  that are locked to you in that you get them from a mission and
• 36:22
  they are yours and only yours and can't be traded.
• 36:26
  But to the extent that you can only get the blueprints from
• 36:28
  missions, you should not have to do that mission or gameplay loop
• 36:32
  more than 5 or so times before it drops.
• 36:35
  It gets repetitive. Would be really unfortunate if
• 36:38
  we have low percentage drop rates and have to grind for
• 36:41
  hours and hours and repeat missions just for your hunting
• 36:45
  for that one blue. I agree.
• 36:46
  So they put they got these new rock breaker things in which are
• 36:50
  supposed to be beautiful and atmospheric and well crafted if
• 36:53
  they fuck it the same way they did with the yeah, I don't
• 36:59
  remember what they were called, but the the underground facility
• 37:01
  there. ASD facilities.
• 37:03
  Yeah, and then you end up grinding it over and over and
• 37:06
  over again just to try to get loot that'll that'll ruin it.
• 37:09
  I don't know what you guys think about that.
• 37:15
  I'm with you. I'm with you and Nikki there.
• 37:18
  I don't really have an issue with blueprints being mission
• 37:22
  rewards and I think my biggest issue is that you can't trade at
• 37:25
  least yet. Them all being account bound
• 37:28
  just kind of seems very counter to what they were saying that
• 37:35
  they want to do with the blueprints.
• 37:36
  And I don't know if they're going to physicalize them later
• 37:39
  on, but I, I hope at some point that, you know, whenever the,
• 37:44
  the, they eventually implement the, the player market, that the
• 37:48
  blueprints that you get from missions, like if you're getting
• 37:52
  duplicates, you can at least, you know, send them to people
• 37:55
  that don't want to, that don't want to do those.
• 37:58
  Well, that's true. This is all currently just
• 38:00
  placeholder, isn't that right? But hopefully, hopefully instead
• 38:07
  of having a mission reward, it would be something similar to
• 38:10
  like the tech smuggler where you went in there and you finally
• 38:13
  got the break into the warehouse and you know you that's where
• 38:17
  the all the components ship components were.
• 38:19
  That's where you got the, the, the coffins and stuff.
• 38:24
  And then like maybe there's a machine you can Jack into the
• 38:27
  machine and there's a blueprint in there for you to, to grab and
• 38:31
  it's like on a comp board and that's the physicalized
• 38:33
  blueprint that you have to take back to your machine.
• 38:36
  Hopefully it gets to be something like that.
• 38:39
  My hope anyway, because it should be.
• 38:42
  We've just have been talking about this so much.
• 38:46
  It should be that you get a blueprint, you put it in your
• 38:49
  backpack, and if you get killed on the way out, well, guess
• 38:51
  what? You might lose your blueprint or
• 38:54
  you don't make it back to base and you might lose your
• 38:57
  blueprint. That's everything should be
• 38:59
  physicalized, I think. That for ship paint.
• 39:03
  Paint doesn't need to be physicalized.
• 39:05
  There will be some blueprints that will be limited and I think
• 39:09
  those will be physicalized, but I don't think like your P6 ammo
• 39:13
  or whatever should be or will be physicalized to like something
• 39:18
  simple like a basic blueprint like that.
• 39:20
  I don't think will be. But if we're talking a bangle
• 39:24
  blueprints, yeah, that I think will be at minimum limited, but
• 39:31
  that maybe should be physicalized and processed in
• 39:35
  like a computer or something. Well, you know, like right now
• 39:39
  we can we can pick up the better weapons in some of these these
• 39:44
  locations we go into. You can get better, you can get
• 39:47
  weapons, you can get scopes, you can get attachments.
• 39:52
  You know, the, the, the, the better attachments you can get
• 39:57
  all that kind of stuff. You know, either you can find it
• 40:01
  and. Let's say to make crafting
• 40:04
  worthwhile, either crafting allows you to keep repairing
• 40:08
  those things or those where they have wear and tear on them so
• 40:12
  there's a reason to keep going for them.
• 40:14
  Also if that you know any any kind of weapon that you could
• 40:18
  loot, you should be also maybe be able to loot blueprint to
• 40:21
  keep making it. All this is.
• 40:26
  What they said, I think. Yeah, I mean, that's the hope.
• 40:28
  That's the hope. You don't think there should be
• 40:31
  a limit on certain? Things.
• 40:33
  I don't think there should be a limit.
• 40:35
  So, Bill, Bill, what were you gonna say?
• 40:37
  Oh, you're good, sorry. So if the blueprint was
• 40:41
  physicalized and like you had to put it in your fabricator, then
• 40:45
  would that mean that the blueprint is basically localized
• 40:48
  to your fabricator? So then like if you take your
• 40:52
  fabricator out into the wild with you and blow up and die,
• 40:56
  gone, gone that. 'D be a good one.
• 41:00
  I think only for the big limited blueprints it should be that
• 41:03
  way. And by big I mean ships.
• 41:05
  Probably because that would give space bases something to protect
• 41:12
  other than just resources is you've got to protect your
• 41:15
  blueprints too, and a reason to not blow up a base is to steal
• 41:19
  that stuff. I kind.
• 41:21
  Of agree with that, except I would I would limit that to like
• 41:25
  basic things like stuff that you can buy at a ship or or at A at
• 41:29
  a store somewhere. And you had the you know, that
• 41:32
  that might be something that's a permanent thing.
• 41:34
  Once you have it, you have it. But anything that's, you know,
• 41:38
  above anything that's not sellable and get or not
• 41:41
  purchasable in game, I think that should be the physical.
• 41:44
  That's I think that's what the line is drawn.
• 41:46
  I'd hope there's then you know, there's a there's a sink,
• 41:50
  there's a faucet and there's reasons to do things.
• 41:54
  Thinking a faucet? Yeah.
• 41:56
  Well, Speaking of. Last question, the.
• 41:59
  Last one, yeah. Last one and so, you know, we've
• 42:03
  we've been trying to increase engagement because we you know,
• 42:06
  a lot of a lot of good, good callers on here, some familiar
• 42:08
  faces and we've we've been accused of of actually being
• 42:12
  actors and some playing characters so.
• 42:16
  Unironically. Yeah, on ironically, but so we
• 42:19
  we tried to branch out into Reddit.
• 42:21
  It did. It did not go well.
• 42:23
  Reddit hates us Lens. Lens Nation is really popular on
• 42:28
  Reddit. If you're on Reddit, you've seen
• 42:29
  Lens Nation's content. He's doing all the illustrations
• 42:31
  of the ships. You're always getting really
• 42:34
  positive feedback on Reddit Lens.
• 42:38
  So other than having talent, which is not an option for us,
• 42:41
  we'll have to look into how to do that.
• 42:47
  I've I've been on Reddit, I've posted quite a few things on
• 42:50
  Reddit. They are all at 0 karma.
• 42:55
  Well that's because they're all AI, you know, posts.
• 42:59
  Am I the asshole? Yeah, one thing I've been on
• 43:07
  Reddit like for four or five years now.
• 43:09
  So I started posting two years ago.
• 43:12
  Before that I was just consuming content on Reddit.
• 43:14
  The it's Simply put, like you, you can't promote yourself there
• 43:20
  at all. If I post my machinima there
• 43:23
  instead of my art, the chances of it getting engagement is
• 43:26
  extremely low because that's where you people are going to
• 43:32
  very highly likely going to ignore you if you're putting a
• 43:35
  YouTube link. Hey, I made this some cool
• 43:37
  machinima. Whatever.
• 43:39
  Promoting yourself is very very, very hard.
• 43:42
  So when I do artworks, my reason for doing art is simply because
• 43:47
  I, I enjoy doing art. I have always been doing art
• 43:50
  since I was a kid and I and I'm, I love sharing my art with
• 43:54
  everybody because that's the whole purpose of art for me is
• 43:57
  that it cannot exist in vacuum. It needs to be seen.
• 44:02
  You we hear about this thought that hey, just do it for
• 44:06
  yourself. Don't do it for the others, but
• 44:09
  why? It's a community.
• 44:11
  I I want to have a talk about it.
• 44:13
  I want to I want it to be shared.
• 44:15
  I want it to be seen by the right people.
• 44:18
  So no, I don't. I do want to promote it, but
• 44:22
  when I do this on Reddit, it's never done like it's I'm trying
• 44:29
  to promote it. If you see lately what I've
• 44:32
  started doing is it's like now I always post saying 07.
• 44:38
  I am Lens Nation and this is my hand drawn.
• 44:42
  This, this, this, this, this. Why I've started doing that is
• 44:47
  the problem on Reddit is you don't remember people, the
• 44:50
  people who comment on your posts or people whose posts blow up.
• 44:55
  Do we even remember their names? Do we remember their handles?
• 44:58
  I do. I keep a list.
• 44:59
  You do OK. Somebody really.
• 45:01
  But you see me, I got a list. But that's of course if somebody
• 45:06
  post negative, I remember them too.
• 45:08
  But so I started doing that and I want to create an identity for
• 45:13
  for myself in a little bit. Like I want to stay relevant in
• 45:15
  the community. Not that want to be famous or
• 45:19
  anything, but I want the right people to see it.
• 45:21
  So that's one way to do it. So don't promote yourself.
• 45:26
  Another hack that you need, which we figured out me read the
• 45:32
  result and fat bird, is that when you post something on
• 45:38
  Reddit, the very first few comments are very important and
• 45:43
  they need to be the kind of comments that shouldn't be very
• 45:49
  obvious that they're trying to praise you.
• 45:51
  They need to be very neutrally positive.
• 45:53
  They can be your friends man, even the people here in the chat
• 45:58
  if you post something, if a few of the comments are positive,
• 46:02
  you have very high chance of being accepted on Reddit.
• 46:07
  You're. Talking about manipulating.
• 46:10
  Yes. You have to culture.
• 46:11
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because people just follow
• 46:15
  along. Yeah.
• 46:16
  Yeah, exactly. Because, well, when I run for
• 46:19
  Congress, I'm going to hire you, Lens.
• 46:23
  No, no, no, no. Politics is not.
• 46:26
  It's the social media marketing. Unfortunately, the algorithms
• 46:28
  have made it hard for us. It's not fair.
• 46:31
  The system is not fair mate. Yeah, yeah.
• 46:34
  For example, like I can openly say I really enjoyed my time
• 46:37
  here with you guys today because it's like I'm in a very chill
• 46:41
  radio studio where there's no pressure of pleasing everyone.
• 46:45
  This is very nice experience as you should have more visibility,
• 46:49
  but the system is against you mate.
• 46:51
  It's always going to be the big streamers who are going to get
• 46:54
  the more views in the system. We'll just promote them.
• 46:56
  So yeah, you need to do the best you can to to slightly tilt the
• 47:02
  favours your way. Yeah, we please nobody.
• 47:05
  We're trying. We're doing.
• 47:07
  It for the love, but exactly. What a good remark is why it is
• 47:13
  so good. And I, I don't want to leave
• 47:15
  Disman. So Disman 7, I don't want to
• 47:17
  leave him hanging because he he had some great feedback for us.
• 47:21
  We did post a a thumbnail and a clip from the last episode on
• 47:26
  Reddit. And Disman 7 said really gently,
• 47:30
  he put it, I'm not going to watch that based on a dumb
• 47:33
  thumbnail and click bait title and description.
• 47:38
  And jar jar responded said it's not click bait if it's exactly
• 47:41
  what we talk about, which it is. And then Disman elaborated for
• 47:47
  jar jar. All the questions in the
• 47:49
  description are very click bait and now it sounds like a video
• 47:52
  of people just talking. I can theory craft with my own
• 47:56
  friends, thank you. Seriously, who are you and why
• 48:00
  should I care what your opinion is?
• 48:02
  Everyone just posts garbage and expects everyone should watch
• 48:06
  and like it. Yeah.
• 48:09
  Why do you keep? I'm producing all this garbage.
• 48:12
  I. Think, I think if that dude, if
• 48:15
  that dude actually came and listened, he would have actually
• 48:20
  enjoyed. Thank you.
• 48:22
  I think I think Disneyland should come on the show.
• 48:24
  I think he makes some excellent points and obviously has some
• 48:27
  strong feelings and that's exactly the type of
• 48:30
  conversations we want to have here.
• 48:32
  So you should actually get in touch with that dude and ask him
• 48:35
  to. Come with him.
• 48:37
  Oh, yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll show him that.
• 48:40
  Also, as a person who had to recover from things like
• 48:42
  depression and everything like that, let me just tell you right
• 48:45
  now, lighten the fuck up and your life will be a lot better.
• 48:48
  It takes some time to work at it, but if you're going to
• 48:50
  approach everything from a negative angle instead of giving
• 48:53
  it a try and finding new things and new experiences, you are
• 48:56
  always going to be depressed. Yeah, but I don't need to say
• 48:59
  that to being harsh, but sometimes you just need to kind
• 49:02
  of hear it. This is a Halo One lobby here.
• 49:06
  All right. Want to?
• 49:07
  Talk to Halo 1 lobbies, you say? Like also in Halo two there were
• 49:12
  no Halo 1 lobbies unless you were setting up a land party.
• 49:16
  So Halo 2 lobbies? Halo 2 lobbies, I'm sorry.
• 49:18
  Yeah, Halo 2 Halo. CE I get my, I get my history.
• 49:21
  Halo. CE I mean that if you had a land
• 49:23
  party, yeah, but you didn't have any actual public match.
• 49:28
  That doesn't count. That was like a decade later.
• 49:30
  Come on, man. Come on.
• 49:34
  Well, if you're still playing old games, you're in the right
• 49:36
  place. This is open Comms Radio filled
• 49:38
  with a bunch of old people and old folks here.
• 49:40
  We have nine of us here today, which is, which is quite the
• 49:45
  record. And we're coming up on two
• 49:47
  hours. So what we're going to do is
• 49:48
  we're going to, we're likely, very likely going to split the
• 49:50
  show into two. We're going to have a Part 1 and
• 49:53
  Part 2 Lens Nation, if you're OK with that.
• 49:56
  Yeah, no problem. With me, OK.
• 49:59
  With us, that's what we're going to do when they get really long.
• 50:02
  That's that's just how we how things go here.
• 50:05
  And here's a Star Citizen show. And we do want to keep it on the
• 50:09
  rails for Star Citizen. But I do know that Wickett has
• 50:13
  eyeballed a different MMO once again.
• 50:18
  Which one is he going to kill now?
• 50:19
  Which? One dude.
• 50:22
  Death of ashes of creation. Ashes of Creation.
• 50:26
  Are not my fault. I was AI listen.
• 50:30
  Hold on, let me bring, let me bring up my stock trackers so I
• 50:33
  can watch this one die. Yeah.
• 50:36
  Hold on the. New inverse new.
• 50:38
  The new hotness in my mind is this one called Scars of Honor.
• 50:44
  Sell shares, it's count 20 points already.
• 50:49
  No sell, sell. It's fantasy, of course it's not
• 50:52
  *. This just looks like a RIP of
• 50:55
  World of Warcraft. No, it isn't.
• 50:57
  It has it's. The art.
• 50:58
  The art, I mean, yeah, but the art is just World of Warcraft.
• 51:01
  The main guy behind the Scars of Honor, it's from Eastern Europe.
• 51:08
  I forget what country he's from, but he's got a whole.
• 51:10
  Team, we got some sexy dwarf underwear.
• 51:12
  I like it. Well, he like cow world or what?
• 51:15
  No, we. Got sexy?
• 51:16
  World of Warcraft, we've established that it's exactly
• 51:19
  the same. Well, he he, he said.
• 51:22
  Oh, they even have sexy zombie underwear in this game.
• 51:24
  I'm on it. Wow was a big inspiration, but
• 51:27
  there's other things, there's other mechanics, and it's free,
• 51:31
  free to play. And they're.
• 51:34
  Doing they they. He's very committed to ethical
• 51:38
  monetization. Of.
• 51:39
  Cosmetic only and I'm going to give you an example.
• 51:43
  I don't know if this will sway you or not, but one of the big
• 51:45
  things that they were going to have is that you could buy extra
• 51:48
  storage as an as as a, as a monetization Ave. and the
• 51:54
  community basically said, well, extra storage could be a pay to
• 51:59
  win mechanic. And a lot of people said, yeah,
• 52:03
  that's a pay to win. And guess what?
• 52:05
  Within like a week after they announced it, they'd said, Nope,
• 52:08
  we're not going to do it. You guys think it's pay to win,
• 52:10
  We're getting it, It's out of here.
• 52:12
  No more extra. Storage, So we don't support
• 52:16
  games around here that that monetize assets and and and
• 52:20
  customizations, OK. That's right.
• 52:23
  I play Call of Duty. Well, I would have checked it
• 52:26
  out, but it's already dead. The man that just announced that
• 52:30
  they're they're shuttering their production.
• 52:32
  Well, there's there is in April they have their first play, open
• 52:36
  play test. In April, they.
• 52:38
  Were going to have it. And it is free to play, you
• 52:41
  don't have to do any pre purchase.
• 52:43
  There's no all you have to do is request access on Steam.
• 52:47
  And I think it's if you're an MMO player, if you like that
• 52:51
  sort of thing, if you like the fantasy genre, Wow adjacent,
• 52:55
  whatever, there's there's way. There's way too much to get
• 52:58
  into. I'll let you guys check it out
• 52:59
  on your own if you're still inclined.
• 53:01
  I think think it it might be worth worthwhile.
• 53:04
  I'll be. Checking that, what was the name
• 53:06
  again? Is this scars of honor?
• 53:09
  Scars of honor. Scars of honor.
• 53:12
  If you want to see some dwarves. Draco Monday is back in the
• 53:17
  chat. Yeah, I see him.
• 53:19
  I see him. He's done.
• 53:20
  He's invited back up. He can come back up anytime he
• 53:23
  likes it. We are creeping up on the on the
• 53:26
  end of the show here today before we do our our last thing
• 53:30
  today. Anyone else have anything they
• 53:33
  want to add specifically about Star Citizen or, or inviting
• 53:37
  your kids to play Star Citizen or or what have you?
• 53:40
  Oh, I have one more thing. Anybody else?
• 53:46
  Afroman won his court case today.
• 53:48
  He. Did.
• 53:49
  Oh yeah. Oh yeah, he did.
• 53:52
  Afroman give us give us the TLDR you got high.
• 53:58
  No. Well, if you don't know, Afroman
• 54:01
  is the guy that the song about. I got high.
• 54:05
  Anyway, he was away. He was doing a concert somewhere
• 54:08
  and the police broke into his house, stole some.
• 54:13
  Well, they, they confiscated money and a bunch of other shit
• 54:17
  and turned off his cameras in his in his house, the security
• 54:22
  cameras. Well, he got pissed off about it
• 54:24
  and he wanted to get his stuff back.
• 54:26
  Then there was missing money that they took and he basically
• 54:31
  used the footage that he had captured of these sheriff's
• 54:35
  deputies getting into his house and their names.
• 54:38
  And he made a a disc video and a disc song and the police
• 54:44
  officers and the I think that the Police Department sued him
• 54:47
  over that and he won that today. He actually made individualized,
• 54:53
  personalized diss tracks for each of the officers.
• 54:58
  It was funny. Freedom of speech, truly, I
• 55:00
  think it's, I think. This is the perfect freedom of
• 55:03
  speech. May it be preserved?
• 55:06
  Yep, may it be preserved. May it be preserved.
• 55:11
  A new thing. All right, Lens Nation, man,
• 55:15
  thank you for coming on the show today.
• 55:17
  Really happy to to have you here.
• 55:19
  I hope you enjoyed yourself. Hope you had a good time.
• 55:22
  Oh yeah, absolutely. Yes, I did enjoy listening to
• 55:26
  you all. It was very nice, very cozy.
• 55:29
  Yeah, even though I was not on the couch, I definitely felt the
• 55:32
  cozy. Yeah, there's a lot of it.
• 55:33
  I had a wonderfully That was good.
• 55:36
  It was good. It was very nice.
• 55:37
  Thank you. We're going to keep our eyes
• 55:39
  peeled on you, Lens Nation. If you're listening to the show,
• 55:42
  check out Lens Nation. He's you got all kinds of
• 55:45
  content. I'd say you're kind of like a
• 55:46
  variety content. Really cool video.
• 55:49
  Would you be offended if I? Call you a content creator.
• 55:53
  I do. I started as a machinima maker
• 55:55
  because I, I'm a creative producer in real life and I of
• 55:59
  course fell in love with the game because of the beauty of
• 56:01
  it. And so I didn't really start.
• 56:06
  It goes back to my son. He wanted to do some like I have
• 56:09
  been playing it since 2018 and I did not even join an org or was
• 56:14
  not in a multiplayer platform or even on Discord until 20/21 when
• 56:20
  my son started playing with me. He was like, we watch
• 56:24
  documentaries together, like, like mega transporters and stuff
• 56:29
  like that. And he's like, it'll be cool if
• 56:30
  we do a funny video about this in Star Citizen.
• 56:33
  And it's like, you want to do that?
• 56:35
  He said yeah, so we started doing that and after that he is
• 56:39
  a big fan of Top Gear. He's seen every single episode
• 56:42
  of TOP. Gear and.
• 56:43
  Grand Tour, yeah, like even the beginning, the very first one
• 56:47
  when James May wasn't there so he's like, dad, we should do Top
• 56:50
  Gear in Star Citizen is like, OK, let's do that.
• 56:54
  So we started doing top Hanger, which kind of very few people
• 56:59
  know about it, but it's definitely more, more people
• 57:01
  know about it. And like slowly community
• 57:06
  started recognizing me and, and that happened and we, we've done
• 57:11
  a few episodes of that. So I'm a machinima maker
• 57:13
  primarily. That's what I really, really
• 57:15
  like to do, but also draw love pencils and love digital art
• 57:19
  quite a lot. And of course I get motivated by
• 57:23
  beautiful ships. So I started doing Star Citizen
• 57:26
  art two years ago and been sharing that, but I've drawn out
• 57:30
  for a lot of other clients in real life.
• 57:33
  I I love it. It's 4 wheel drives and
• 57:37
  vehicles. So variety in that sense of the
• 57:41
  way is there. But.
• 57:43
  And then of course, a stream here and there or whatever.
• 57:46
  Do podcasts got involved in short casting racing.
• 57:52
  Yeah, there's a variety, but it's not different games.
• 57:56
  It's just All Star Citizen. Yeah, variety of of practice.
• 58:03
  What do you call it in art? When you do, you do different
• 58:05
  things. Eclectic.
• 58:08
  I don't know what do we call it. Multi timeless, What do we call
• 58:13
  it? I don't know.
• 58:15
  Well, let's nation. The way we close this show out
• 58:19
  is we go backwards and I ask everybody the same question.

  truest and most ultimate curious form of MMO with the best entire
• 1:00:57
  system that we've ever had until Smedley at Sony Entertainment

  that. No one ever will.

  really, really believe in your vision.

  People like Jar Jar and Duke later who are doing these
• 1:02:34
  videos. So will you please start
• 1:02:36
  supporting even new content creators please.
• 1:02:40
  And stop favouring the big ones. You know, because these people

  have more passion than those bigger ones who are already just
• 1:02:50
  working on their analytics at this stage.
• 1:02:52
  Because this is where the real community is.
• 1:02:55
  Simply put, always keep supporting new.
