4:43
Like he he is just insane. OK, he's taking everything.
4:49
Picking it all up, even if I ask him for something in the game
4:52
like Oh yeah, I don't have AI, don't have a Med Med Med pen.
4:56
Yeah. He just, he just ignores me
4:59
completely, like go. He's a hoarder, he's not a loot
5:03
goblin. Yeah, he, yeah, Yeah, he's a
5:06
he's, Yeah, he's, isn't that the next level of being a little
5:09
goblin, like, you know, like be a hoarder then Yeah.
5:14
He ignores me completely. Like I kid you not, if I go into
5:18
Star Citizen right now, yeah, right now in my hangar on micro
5:22
tech, there are items sitting on the floor.
5:25
OK, there's a backpack, there's a mad gun, there is a box which
5:31
has arms in it and legs in it, and there's a story behind it
5:34
why they're just sitting there. Do tell, please well.
5:38
Yeah, tell the story. Don't, Don't keep us waiting.
5:40
Well, I'll tell you the story and it's a true story, and I can
5:43
also go into the game and I can grab you a screenshot of that
5:45
before the new patch drops, but that's been sitting there since
5:48
the patch. Can you drop me your Twitter
5:49
link in the DM? Because I want to tag you in the
5:51
post. We're not on the Twitter.
5:53
On Twitter, It's too much. I can't.
5:55
I can't do the insta, I can't I. Can't do it all OK.
5:59
You know how, OK, we're going to get verified.
6:01
On this guy. OK, what I'll do is I'll then
6:04
post the twitch then twitch. OK, let me just do this because
6:10
otherwise I will forget about it.
6:13
OK, we're talk. OK, this is a just going to make
6:16
a post then just made the post. OK, tell the story, the true
6:20
story. So when this new patch dropped,
6:25
right we you remember there was a bug where your inventory just
6:31
disappeared. Do you, do you remember that?
6:34
Yeah, a lot of people had nothing.
6:37
Yeah, they had nothing. Even the items you have actually
6:39
bought with real money, you had nothing.
6:42
So I was one of those people. I had nothing at all.
6:44
I just had the the original spam suit and we were supposed to go
6:49
in and do some machine in my shoot for a Percy's video that
6:53
I'm editing. And he's he had everything.
6:58
And we were on my product and I was like, oh, wait, can I grab
7:00
some stuff from you? Just give me some of the stuff.
7:05
Yeah, Yeah. My son, he's 12 years old.
7:10
What do you want, Dad? Give me a helmet, which has a
7:14
crosshair on it. And I need to carry a backpack,
7:18
so give me AI want a heavy backpack, so give me a heavy
7:21
core, OK. Gives me a helmet, gives me a
7:25
core and gives me a backpack and runs away.
7:28
And I knew what he was doing. I knew he's ignoring me.
7:31
And he's like OK, what about arms and legs?
7:37
Why do you need them? Say what are you doing this with
7:42
me? You have 9 tails stuff like you
7:45
loot the bunkers all the time. Can you not just give me a nine
7:49
tails, arms and legs you don't need them.
7:54
And I really got. No, I was, I was really angry.
8:00
Really. Like what?
8:01
Yeah. Aren't you this crazy about?
8:04
And he's. And then I got and he know I
8:09
started giving him the silent treatment and he's like, OK, OK,
8:11
OK. I'll give you everything.
8:12
Dad, what do you, what do you want?
8:13
What do you want? It got very serious.
8:15
So he started giving me stuff. He started putting down the arms
8:19
and legs and everything. And it's like, I don't need them
8:23
and I will never, ever ask you for anything in the game from
8:26
now on. And I've left them there.
8:30
He's that level of a loot goblin.
8:33
True story. It got very serious.
8:35
It sounds like it's a power thing with him.
8:38
I don't know, he's a very good kid, but he likes to, he likes
8:45
to hold man. He he just doesn't even want to
8:48
give away one of hundreds of the 9 tail items he has.
8:54
Like he got offered a Kraken by Chris Roberts in the Enter
8:57
Atmosphere 2956 and he refused to take that.
9:00
But then his challenge coin came up in the giveaway and he wasn't
9:05
there and he cried to sleep for that.
9:08
He's, he's got his priorities all over the place, man.
9:12
You're Chris Roberts offered your child a crack in, which is
9:15
like $1000 or something. Yeah, I don't know how much it
9:19
is, but he didn't want it. Because you.
9:22
It's the same skit that you LinkedIn the post remember that
9:26
like that has a click click bait thumbnail.
9:29
So we did the skit and all that. So Chris and Sandy saw it and
9:33
they, they, they offered him a crack and he was like, we want
9:36
you to have a crack. And I don't know, I mean, it's a
9:37
longer story than that. But, but then he's then ACMO did
9:41
giveaways with the challenge coins.
9:43
And we, of course, everybody would get one challenge coin.
9:46
So we had three, He had two. He had to leave the venue
9:50
because he's underage. And the giveaways took place at
9:53
11:30 or so. And both of his challenge coins,
9:57
one for him and one from a wife, they both came up 86 and 87.
10:02
I don't know what the giveaway was, but he couldn't claim them.
10:04
And then he cried. I told him, it's like you, you
10:06
should have given me the challenge coins.
10:08
Why don't you leave them with me?
10:09
And the same problem. He didn't want to leave them
10:12
with me. I asked him, leave your
10:14
challenge coins with me. Hold on.
10:16
Let me did. You say your wife.
10:18
You wrote your wife into this lifestyle too.
10:21
Oh. No, no, no, she doesn't play
10:23
Star Citizen at all. She's just there in a.
10:25
Collection. No, No, No, no, no, no, no, no,
10:29
no. Do you know about Enter
10:30
Atmosphere 2956? Is that the atmo event?
10:35
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:37
So I was the race analyst there and I was also participating in
10:40
the PvP tournament as a streamer and I am Oh no, the PvP got
10:46
cancelled. But the race analysis, because I
10:49
do short casting for racing a lot.
10:51
That's why I'm heavily involved with atmo and NZ racing.
10:55
So that's, that's what I love doing, like commentating on
10:58
races. So I've been very, very involved
11:02
with that MO. I'm doing the Gravity Rush as
11:05
well. So they, and I did the artworks
11:07
that that's where it started. The T-shirts that you see at the
11:10
Manchester Citizen Con, the, the, the merch that you have
11:15
seen people wear, the devs wear in the S, the CIG episodes and
11:20
stuff. So I've done the artwork for all
11:23
of them and I did those for Enter Atmosphere 2956, which
11:27
happened in Sydney. CHE came back to Australia after
11:30
10 years, might 12 years or I don't know, it's.
11:34
Going to be another 12. That.
11:36
Was yeah, they're not coming back man.
11:38
Nobody comes to Australia. We're.
11:41
Going to Hong Kong, Yeah. Yeah, that'll be for a year.
11:44
Yeah, Yeah, they're going to pay or something.
11:48
Yeah, China is a big market, mate.
11:51
So, yeah. So I was involved in that.
11:53
And then Crucian from ATMA was like, would you like to do the
11:56
race analysis for the the racing exhibition?
11:59
I said yes, but I wanted to of course take.
12:01
And my son was invited because he's been playing since he was 8
12:06
and we do machinimas together and everything.
12:10
And then we did the skit thingy and everything.
12:11
So I was like, I want him to go there because I want him to
12:14
understand the power of the community because he hangs out
12:18
with people who are like in their 50s, in their 60s.
12:23
I think he's having a really he's, he's getting a really good
12:26
perspective on life. I, I kid you not.
12:28
And he really knows the game. He knows the game way more than
12:30
I do. He's been helping out a lot of
12:33
Youtubers with their content. Like if this is not all he does,
12:36
his time is very limited in the Star Citizen, but he absorbs it
12:39
very quickly. And this is the only game he
12:41
plays along with Hell Let Loose and the original Call of Duty.
12:46
He's very, very yeah yes, 1996 Call of Duty because I gave it
12:53
to him because I've been a gamer all my life.
12:56
I wanted him to only play the games that I think are worth
13:00
learning something and enjoying in a beautiful way.
13:04
Not he hasn't played Overwatch, Apex Legends, even Minecraft.
13:09
He he's not I don't let him play those games and I explain it to
13:13
him why not? So he only plays very selective
13:17
games which. Which we think are worth it.
13:21
We play Walheim together, We play Snow Runner together, we
13:27
play old Craft together. So most of the games we play
13:30
together. But yeah, yeah, there's a lot of
13:33
games, Yeah, Weekends, we we pick one.
13:36
Yeah. Can you play Call of Duty
13:37
online? No, no, we don't play that
13:39
together. That's that's just because when
13:42
he started playing Star Citizen he was only 8.
13:45
He asked me can I play this? That was his first game ever was
13:48
Star Citizen and I said can I play this?
13:51
It's like are you really interested in this game?
13:53
Yes. So I bought him a pack and gave
13:56
myself my very first referral and he we would do bunkers and
14:02
when the 9 tails would come out of their closet every now and
14:07
then he will run from his PC to my PC.
14:10
They're coming out, they're going to kill me.
14:13
And he's dead. So it's like, OK, you need to
14:19
learn FPS gameplay, you need to play Call of Duty.
14:23
So he started playing Call of Duty, the original.
14:25
So I and he fell in love with Call of Duty and he fell in love
14:28
with World War 2 and the Horror Story, not story, but he fell in
14:34
love with the whole machine that World War history is.
14:39
And he he became easy about that.
14:43
He's going to very, very next level.
14:45
He picks the museums where we need to go.
14:48
So we most of our time is spent in museums now with aircraft and
14:52
tanks and armor. So I think education, man.
14:57
Gaming is education. Very good.
14:59
So that's why, that's why he plays the original Call of
15:01
Duties. Yeah, Well, Lens, you know how
15:05
this goes. You've heard the show before.
15:07
What we do is we invite people up here to to take our calls.
15:10
And this week's question, maybe you've been able to figure it
15:14
out, maybe not. Can I play Star Citizen with my
15:18
kids? That's the question we have
15:21
Bill, who I, I think is our first today.
15:26
Think we're new Bill and then Lord Anubis.
15:28
Bill, welcome to Open Comms Radio, your Star Citizen call in
15:30
show you're here live with Jar Jar Jabroni Duke, later the 2nd
15:34
and our special guest Lens Nation this week.
15:36
Bill, can I play Star Citizen with my kids?
15:40
Yeah, I think you can. All right, that was it.
15:44
That was. Bill's answer, everybody
15:45
wrapping up, man. Yeah, we did it.
15:48
No, I just think like I've been trying to think a lot about the
15:52
game lately because like the the perspective or the aspect of the
15:56
game is so huge. And I think you could use that
16:00
as some sort of, I don't know, learning experience for the
16:02
chick, the child or children about how big the universe
16:06
actually is, like how small and insignificant we really are.
16:12
If you really want to depress your children, that would be
16:14
yeah. But I mean, I mean, all of our
16:19
children now have seen shooter games and stuff.
16:22
But you can show them that it's more than that.
16:24
Mining, salvaging. You know, Bill, I'm glad you
16:28
bring that up because I the other day I was like, I just, I
16:31
want to play a game, but I don't want to like kill anything, you
16:35
know, am I, am I the only one who feels this way?
16:38
No 100%. Yeah, I just want to like sit
16:41
back and and and chill and do something.
16:43
And I almost played Star Citizen.
16:45
We can talk about that in in a minute.
16:50
I think you can play truck games for that.
16:51
That's what we do with. We just play Snow Runner or ETS2
16:57
or ATS 2. Those are the perfect games for
16:59
that are. Those there's a truck driving
17:03
through the snow. Is it like a?
17:05
SIM Oh no, no, Snow runner is not that snow runner is the name
17:09
has no, but it is none of that. It's a very, very physicalized.
17:14
It's a truck game, but it's not like.
17:17
Do you know about the American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck
17:20
Simulator? Those are your like proper truck
17:24
driving games like the big rigs and everything.
17:26
But Snowdoner is very specialized in the sense that
17:29
you have, you have to shift down low gears.
17:32
You're driving in the mud mostly and the ground deforms to your
17:36
inputs. So you if you drive through 1
17:38
patch of an area multiple times that the mud keeps getting more
17:43
tough to drive through. So it's a very, very slow game
17:45
and you need to do deliveries and do missions and open the
17:48
areas and scout. It's good.
17:50
It's not that good, but it's good.
17:53
Interesting. Hi Chris, you heard that we we
17:56
need the ground to deform under our ground vehicles and get mud.
18:00
Oh no, no, don't tell him. Don't.
18:02
Let's not give him that. Idea.
18:03
We call him feature creep. Dude, Warriors.
18:05
No, no, no, please no. Bill, you got some.
18:10
You got some chitlins at home, huh?
18:13
Yeah, I have one. You got 1 chitlin have have have
18:16
you tried to introduce your your child to the wonderful world of
18:20
of Star Citizen? Yeah, whenever I'm playing it,
18:22
she's always like, oh wow, what is that?
18:24
And then I tell her and she's like, oh, cool.
18:26
And then she watches and like, she just likes the graphics and
18:30
like how good it really looks. But she's, I mean, that's a,
18:34
that's a big part of it. Yeah, it really is.
18:39
But I mean, she's almost 16 now so she just if it doesn't
18:43
involve her phone or her car or friends, she doesn't really give
18:45
a shit about it. That makes sense.
18:48
Yeah, Yeah, Lens, you've probably only got a couple more
18:51
years. Yeah, we were talking about that
18:54
yesterday with my friends as well.
18:56
Like he's good now, but he's going to be at that age.
19:02
It's like our hope he. Stays true.
19:05
Let's see, He'll he'll come back.
19:07
Yeah, we. Girls are only interesting for
19:09
so long. We were all there, right?
19:10
We were all there, yeah. At what?
19:13
At what age do you hit when women are no longer interesting?
19:19
I know, we'll let you know. Wrong question.
19:23
I think the answer to that really depends on how you live
19:26
your life currently. Like for me, I'm almost 40 now,
19:30
single, been single for like 10 years.
19:33
I don't really care about them. Like it's nice to have them come
19:36
around every now and then, but I don't want them sticking around
19:39
or like I got stuff going on, I got to play Star Citizen or I
19:44
got to do something else. It's more fun.
19:46
Babe, there's an event. Yeah, I got to.
19:49
I got to get this cargo. I got to get this mold.
19:52
I got to take it over there. I got to take the new stuff back
19:56
and show the people like I got stuff going on here.
19:59
I don't have time for you. Yeah, it's, it's been a good
20:02
time recently with the events and we have another one coming
20:04
up in, in 4.7 heavy industrial event.
20:10
Bill, Perfect. Bill, did you manage to make it
20:12
into the PTU this week? Not yet, I did see there was
20:17
just another update for it today.
20:19
So Yep, since my libraries, my media libraries making me mad, I
20:24
might jump on and play. Yeah, they're pushing out
20:28
updates left and right here with this one.
20:29
It's it's very quick. I'm hoping that kind of like
20:33
cadence continues. Yes.
20:37
That's the plan. That was the promise.
20:40
Oh, don't say the keyword. This quadrant is feature
20:43
complete. Do we have any clue on when
20:46
that's coming? You know what, three months ago
20:51
we did a video we'll Star Citizen release in 2026 and the
20:56
kind of consensus was was will they really have to start
20:59
advertising by like March latest early?
21:03
April No, but they talked about that.
21:06
They, they have made it clear that they will not do that.
21:09
They will not go into a long marketing campaign.
21:12
They will wait till they're ready and then they will do a
21:18
short campaign. I also spoke to Zalo about that
21:21
at Sydney and he said that yeah, we we're not really going to
21:25
focus on a long marketing campaign.
21:30
Because why would they, right? I mean the the words went out
21:32
about the game for over a decade.
21:36
Do you guys, Yeah. Do you guys think that's a smart
21:40
decision? Like if you were CIG and you
21:42
were in that predicament, would you do a long marketing campaign
21:46
or? I would do a short 1, I think,
21:49
because like I said, the, the word is out there.
21:52
There's also already so much doubt out there, right?
21:55
And so many naysayers. So if you've got a really
21:57
prolonged marketing campaign, it just gives all those bored,
22:02
desperate journalists time to, to, to bring up all the, you
22:06
know, all the missed, all the missed deadlines and all the
22:10
bugs and yada, yada, yada. Whereas if they're confident
22:13
that it's ready and it's going to be good, then they should
22:16
just be like, hey, it's coming out, you know, next month or two
22:19
months from now. Here it is.
22:21
Boom, boom, boom. Here's like maybe 3 videos and
22:24
now it's in your hands, you know, balls to the walls.
22:28
We're confident here it is. And then let people play it.
22:31
And I think that's how they're feeling.
22:32
I think they are hopefully feeling confident that it's
22:35
going to it's going to work out. What do you reckon, John I?
22:41
I'm I'm the ever the pessimist on this one.
22:45
I don't think it's coming out this year.
22:47
I think we're going to get, I think he's going to say, oh, we
22:51
needed to reshoot some Gillian Anderson scenes, but we saw her,
22:57
she died. He's like, yeah, we're going to
22:58
rework the whole beginning because we showed it to you.
23:01
So now it's spoiled. So we're going to, we're just
23:02
going to rework it a bit. I do see the website say 2026
23:08
but. Maybe not.
23:11
Maybe I'm too much of a negative Nancy.
23:13
No, but I agree with you, Jar Jar, I am the same.
23:18
I don't think it's releasing in 2026, but I also agree on the
23:25
whole idea of like, yeah, let's not do a long marketing
23:27
campaign. So either what Duke said exactly
23:33
that. Like the yeah, the word is
23:35
already out there and people know about it.
23:37
So there's no reason to really set the expectations or what the
23:44
reason is that well, the game is actually not ready.
23:47
Why do a marketing campaign when it's not even coming out?
23:50
So it can be either of those. That hurts.
23:53
Well, we are going to move on to our next caller.
23:57
We bring up. We have a first time caller down
23:58
in the waiting room right now. Before we do that though, a
24:01
couple comments here in chat, Hobo says.
24:06
I'm watching it on Twitch, sorry.
24:09
Murphy, Jack Junior says that's saying it's coming out this
24:13
year. You know, he, he, Wicket said.
24:16
Dune 3's first trailer just dropped and it released, Oh
24:19
yeah, December. Yes, that.
24:22
That's cooking, man. Yeah, but but Dune has to do a
24:25
long marketing campaign because, like, who's ever heard of Dune?
24:34
I'm not sure it's considered a long campaign, but Bill, do me a
24:36
favour here. Scoot on down the couch, Lens,
24:38
we have a big old couch here. It gets bigger as more people
24:41
join the call here on Open Comms Radio.
24:43
Anyone could join the call, just pop into the discord.
24:46
Here we have our first time caller, Draco Mundi.
24:50
Draco Mundi, welcome to Open Comms Radio.
24:53
This week's question Can I play Star Citizen with my kids?
25:02
Wow. So yeah, first time caller.
25:06
I've been listening to you guys for a while, I think since the
25:08
first episode. I think so too.
25:12
Yeah, I've been, I've been a little lurker, but can you play
25:16
Star Citizen with your kid? I mean, I don't see, I don't see
25:20
why not. I during the last event there
25:25
was actually a father and daughter that was in her group
25:30
and the daughter outed it and saying that she that he pays her
25:34
to to actually play with him. There you go, Bill.
25:40
You go underneath the gas money, right?
25:42
Yeah, come mine, some rocks for me.
25:44
I I'm looking for gold. So I mean, that was that, that
25:48
was pretty much what what it felt like, but it was a good
25:51
time. That's did she mention how much
25:55
she was getting paid? $10.00 an hour.
25:58
Get out of here. Oh.
26:00
I was like, I was like, Dang it, someone wants to pay $10.00 an
26:04
hour, I'll, I'll play some Star Citizen with them.
26:07
Yeah, Oh my gosh, yeah, I can make it work.
26:12
It's not minimum wage here, but I can make it work.
26:14
Yeah, I'll, I'll put it into my, I'll put it into my schedule
26:17
somehow. Do I get I got time?
26:18
Do I get time and a half if I do more than 8 hours in a row?
26:22
You know, I those are all important questions that I
26:25
didn't ask. For the weekends, do you get
26:28
extra overloading? What about the public holidays?
26:31
Yeah, is there? A union for this?
26:35
Maybe there should be? If you're streaming or
26:37
recording, do you have to pay extra for that?
26:40
Oh, valid question. Valid question I was going to
26:44
ask you. In some of your videos, it looks
26:45
like you've got like a whole crew working for you.
26:50
They are friends. Not crew, just friends.
26:53
All friends. They slowly join together.
26:56
Yeah. He doesn't like a machinima.
26:57
No, I'm not. No, he doesn't want to.
27:00
Call him a crew because that implies.
27:02
Yeah, no comments on that. We will get back to you on that
27:10
that boilerplate. No.
27:12
Machine and machine. Draco, this is your first time
27:15
on the show. You've been listening for a
27:18
while. I assume you've heard the
27:21
earlier intro and you've heard the new intro, Yeah.
27:25
Do you have an opinion on the intros?
27:28
I I have not heard the newer intro.
27:31
Oh, all right. Very good.
27:34
No, that's. All right.
27:35
But I'm sure it's great. It is great.
27:37
It's fantastic. 4.7 is coming out.
27:40
Rock Breaker. Yeah, crafting.
27:42
Have you been able to play any of it in the PTU?
27:45
No, unfortunately they decided to wait till I was travelling
27:48
for the, you know, this week and next week whenever they released
27:50
on the year. So I haven't got a chance to
27:52
happen at all. But from what I've seen it looks
27:54
it looks all. Yeah, I think it looks pretty
27:57
good. Lots of industrial gameplay.
27:59
We're going to get a new Aurora in the mix.
28:03
The Aurora Mark 2 doesn't really spark the excitement.
28:07
I don't think that I'm. Excited.
28:11
Really. Yeah, and I don't even, I mean,
28:14
I don't know. I I don't even like the current
28:16
Aurora. I know you you still have one,
28:19
but I'm excited to see what they do with it.
28:22
They've changed it to 1 door now.
28:25
I did see that. I I don't.
28:29
Like that? I was gonna say, I do think they
28:31
need to be. They need to start being real
28:33
careful about which ones they marked too.
28:34
Like the Aurora did need a makeover, but they, it it does,
28:40
it does feel like it's invalidating a lot of shifts
28:42
whenever they just go and Mark start Mark doing a lot of a lot
28:45
of them. I know they said that they
28:48
weren't going to start Mark doing everything, but you know,
28:51
they, they said a lot of things in the past and look where we
28:55
are. So I agree, I, I don't like the
28:57
whole Mark 2 versus gold standard explanation that we
29:03
got. I'm kind of like, no, like, I
29:05
mean, I love the freelancer. I I flew the freelancer for
29:07
years, but it, it just, it, it doesn't work anymore.
29:12
You know, don't, don't mark to it, just just fix it.
29:16
Yeah, just to make it a better, the better version of itself,
29:21
because why would anyone want to fly the Mark one when the Mark 2
29:26
comes out and it is just the Aurora better?
29:30
Yeah, well. Don't call it the mark one.
29:32
Call it classic. There you go.
29:35
It's a branding. I mean, we said that, but people
29:37
are still driving, you know, 67 Chevys and things like that when
29:42
there's a, when there's a brand new one.
29:45
No, but he's right. You don't see any freelancers in
29:46
the game. I got in, I bought a freelancer
29:48
now it's so incompatible with the game today.
29:52
Yeah. If they do a freelancer mark 2
29:57
right and you still have to hold on to your shitty old
30:00
freelancer, but there's this new shining when you got paid $10
30:03
more to get it. But that's the whole idea.
30:07
That's the, I think that's the whole idea behind it.
30:09
Because they want you to buy the new ship because yeah, there's
30:14
zero rod. They can fix it, but then
30:16
everybody gets it for free. Why leave the money on the
30:19
table? Make a new version, but your old
30:22
one is useless. But pay more and get the new
30:25
one. Simple marketing, that's what.
30:27
And I definitely don't agree with that, that's it's going to
30:31
hurt a lot more when the consolation rework happens and
30:34
that gets introduced to S MK5. That's going to hurt a lot.
30:41
I'm a I'm a feeling they're not going to mark to the inflation.
30:46
What gives you what gives you this confidence?
30:49
So I know that they there was that SCLI think it was the one
30:53
during that tipping last year. They were talking about how like
30:57
why they're marcuing and why they don't.
30:59
I, I think, I think the Constellation is such a popular
31:03
ship that people would like CI GS buildings on fire.
31:07
Yeah, like the Aurora is one thing.
31:10
It is it is the most owned ship, but it's not it's not like a
31:15
it's not as much of A staple as the Connie is not as.
31:20
Expensive either. You didn't need to save up for
31:22
an. Aurora exactly right.
31:25
So I. Really hope you're correct about
31:26
that, Ricker. I really hope.
31:28
They they already have so many variances of the of the
31:32
constellation that like what what What would the mark 2 bring
31:36
to the table that the mark 1 doesn't?
31:38
The the mark? All of the current
31:39
constellations just need all they need is a makeover.
31:43
They just need to be brought back up to standard and then
31:45
they would be just as good as many of the other ships are
31:48
coming out with now. Well, Speaking of things coming
31:57
out right now, we do have a giveaway here on Open Comms
32:01
Radio. It's the first ever giveaway.

33:54
It is actually. Really good game.
33:56
It is actually very good. Yes, it is hilarious.
34:01
I feel like you had to really dive dive deep into the depths
34:04
of steam to find that. One, it is funny.
34:08
It's it's just funny on a very different level.
34:10
Yeah. Yeah, so Mr. Tim and Colonel,
34:15
I'm gonna I'll DM you guys later and we'll work some out.
34:19
As long as you have Steam, I'll I'll send you the game there.
34:21
Shower with your dad Simulator 2015.
34:24
Speaking of dads, Speaking of moms, Speaking of everybody who
34:27
likes to play Star Citizen, we have a first time caller down
34:31
here in the audience. So our regulars there are going
34:35
to have to wait a minute. Sorry, homies.
34:38
We're going to invite Nikki D10 up to speak.
34:41
Nikki D10 first time caller here on Open Comms Radio.
34:47
All you got to do Nikki, is consent.
34:49
It's. It's just your base.
34:52
Don't. Bother reading it?
34:53
Yeah. Don't read it.
34:55
Yeah. Nikki D9 read it and he
34:57
regretted it so. Nicky D 10 welcome to Open Comms
35:01
Radio, your Star Citizen calling show.
35:03
You are here live with Jar Jar Jabroni Duke, later the Second
35:06
Lens Nation, Perfect Bill and Draco Mundi.
35:10
Nicky D10 Can I play Star Citizen with my kids?
35:19
Nicky D You can. I think it's because I forgot to
35:23
scooch over. Oh yeah, Scooch right over
35:26
there, Draco, Yeah. I got to scooch over so you can
35:28
get on the couch. Yeah.
35:30
All right. Nicky, you there?
35:32
Yep. Can you hear me?
35:33
Hey yo, Nikki D. Nikki D 10.
35:38
But as I was saying, it depends how much fun you want to have.
35:43
Oh good point. Can you dive into?
35:45
That you tell me. Elaborate.
35:47
No, I think I think you can definitely have fun playing with
35:52
your kid. However, I think, I think if you
35:57
want to get into a little bit of a nitty gritty and the
36:01
camaraderie of that maybe we typically enjoy it's at Red Scar
36:06
somewhere else. I don't know that it's maybe kid
36:12
friendly. Are you talking about foul
36:15
language? I would say so.
36:18
Innuendos. Innuendos, perhaps?
36:22
You know, this is a good point. You have Nikki 'cause when I
36:24
first started playing Star Citizen, I was with this other
36:27
group and they were, you know, they were cool, they were all
36:30
right and stuff. But the guy running the group
36:35
didn't let us curse or swear or anything because he said it's a
36:39
group for everybody. And sometimes his nephews come
36:42
in and they're younger. So he wants to have like an A
36:45
rated E for everyone discord. And I eventually I was just
36:49
like, I can't, like I can't do this.
36:51
I can't, you know, I'm playing Star Citizen.
36:54
I need, I need to be able to say things.
36:55
I'm a. Yeah, free spirit, you know how
36:58
I put it. I'm going to use a I'm going to
37:01
use a weird analogy, but but try and follow me for this one.
37:05
Have you ever watched maybe like a a Twitch stream or like a
37:11
YouTube live and you look at like the chat of that streamers,
37:19
that streamer's chat and you just see in there it's like 15
37:24
mods having a conversation. And then like every once in a
37:28
blue moon, you see someone who's not a mod chime in and then.
37:35
Like the show? Yeah, I feel like, I feel like
37:38
when, when you have, I feel like when you have kids around and
37:42
you have to, you know, moderate yourself so much.
37:44
It's kind of like being in a room full of moderators, you
37:47
know, which it's kind of like the same thing as like if you're
37:50
playing football and there's, you know, 50 referees on the
37:53
field and then only, you know, 12 players.
37:57
It's, it gets a little weird at that point.
38:01
Yes. Sucks the fun out of it some.
38:04
Sometimes I, I, I certainly feel, yeah.
38:06
It's just, I feel like you don't.
38:08
You can't always open yourself up or feel relaxed, I guess is
38:12
maybe the what what I'm getting at.
38:14
But I mean, as I said, you can't have fun.
38:18
I just feel like sometimes you can't always, you know, let your
38:20
hair down. Makes it feel like you can
38:23
always walk on the exhales. Exactly, exactly.
38:27
You don't want to be the guy. Yeah.
38:30
Do you have kids? I don't yet, no.
38:33
Yeah, see, I can tell because I swear in front of my kids all
38:36
the time. Not not on purpose, but it comes
38:41
out they they get used to it. Don't worry.
38:42
A. 100. Percent.
38:43
Worst I I have I have 55. I have 33 nephews and two nieces
38:53
and I will say that it's not a good feeling dropping a curse
38:57
word and then hearing them say it 2 minutes later and then
39:00
having their parents like you're a dickhead.
39:01
I love what? Happened.
39:03
That's my. They're gonna learn it anyways,
39:07
they might as well learn it from me.
39:09
But you gotta. You gotta teach them how to how
39:11
to do it properly because a lot of times they'll they learn the
39:15
first time they learn a word is just every other word is the
39:18
word they just learned. You're like you.
39:19
No, no, you got to you got to learn how to properly utilize
39:23
utilize these these words. Yeah, I mean, Len started the
39:28
show by talking about how his son would bully him in the game.
39:32
So I I. I know these are this is
39:35
actually a very valid sorry, sorry, continue finish up.
39:38
No, go on, go on please. This is a really good.
39:41
Point yeah, this is a very valid point for everybody saying
39:45
because yes, the the language is extremely important with us.
39:49
It's like we have no filter at home in the sense that if we are
39:55
watching something, he's allowed to watch it.
39:58
We will not censor him and tell him that, hey, walk away from
40:04
here because this this movie is not for you.
40:05
Because. But then again, we are a little
40:07
bit careful about what we pick to watch.
40:09
We're not watching. Porn, you know like that that is
40:14
like an extreme scale, but we're not watching crappy stuff and I
40:19
swear I do as yeah, we play Star Citizen exactly yeah, there's no
40:26
way you will not swear in Star Citizen 30 KS were a thing for
40:31
the past, but still the memory lingers.
40:34
But one thing I do not personally I don't like there
40:40
are people that we know as well who just swear for the heck of
40:43
it where every sentence has AF word in it without because just
40:49
it sounds cool. I don't like that even I don't
40:53
like to engage in conversation with them people or take them
40:56
even seriously because you're just saying it for the sake of
40:59
it. That stereotype of a person and
41:02
there are those people in the world.
41:04
So I don't like that. And that kind of behaviour
41:06
sometimes comes out quite a lot on in online multiplayer games.
41:12
But I'm glad to say that when we are playing and we have a very
41:16
different groups of people that we play with, and also I believe
41:20
that you attract your kind of people to you.
41:23
You always end up hanging out with the kind of people you want
41:26
to hang out with and well, those are all the kind of people who,
41:29
yes, sometimes that the hair down, but they're not
41:32
obsessively swearing all the time.
41:35
So when we are doing the missions and we are, because my
41:38
son is now getting involved in the racing in Star Citizen.
41:43
So he practiced quite a lot and he hangs out with Jacquardin,
41:48
who is one of the very fastest people in Star Citizen right
41:51
now. And he runs these racing school
41:56
for XGR community. And there there's there's people
42:00
from every walk of life. I didn't even ask Jacko, but
42:03
Jacko actually said that, hey, we have a 12 year old with us
42:06
today or whenever he's there and he's not just there to hang out.
42:09
He is one of the fast racers. He's got his name on the
42:12
leaderboards. So just be aware.
42:14
We're not saying don't swear, but just be aware and people
42:19
just normally behave. I think it's just a nice
42:23
feeling, but we don't censor anything.
42:26
I swear sometimes I talk to him, sometimes I use the F word shit,
42:29
whatever and I stream. This happens quite a lot.
42:32
But yeah, it's not obsessive. It's not.
42:35
So you definitely play, can play with your kids and also swear
42:39
when you want to. Yeah, big thing is knowing your
42:43
audience. I like that.
42:46
Exactly. Yeah, your kid sounds like a
42:48
little Anakin Skywalker there. Yeah.
42:51
He's a little sweaty little. There.
42:55
Sounds, yeah. Sounds a little sweaty, yeah?
43:00
He's he's on the he's on the SCR leaderboard, so he's
43:03
participating in the heavy class and I'm very happy that he's
43:06
caught the bug of racing because I think that skill of ship
43:10
racing that's very transferable. You know that that's your hand
43:15
eye coordination, man, that like it's not easy to race and Star
43:18
Citizen and be good at it. So if that's true does that I'm
43:22
very happy with that. I'm very, very happy about that.
43:26
That is a weird thing. Like I I talked about with my
43:29
kids where I'd rather they played a video game than watch
43:34
TV. Exactly.
43:37
Unless it took, I mean like, like they like watching nature
43:39
documentaries and stuff, which I'm cool with, but otherwise I'm
43:43
like, you know, play a game where you can create or, or you
43:46
can compete or, or learn something.
43:49
I mean, my son's reading, he's only, he's 7.
43:52
His reading is fantastic and and most of it is actually from No
43:56
Man's Sky. Yes, because a lot of text in
43:59
the dialogue. So much text and so much, you
44:03
know, the, the crafting and like hunting down all the stuff.
44:07
And I'm like, there's not a lot of seven-year olds who are going
44:09
around talking about aluminum and, you know, all the other,
44:13
all the other medals. That's a very good point.
44:16
My like, like I never even thought of that.
44:17
Like, yeah, because old the crafting recipes that you need
44:20
in Norman's Sky, they they all make somewhat sense in the real
44:25
world. Yeah, I mean, absolutely.
44:27
And even the base building in Norman's Sky, that is a skill
44:30
which is transferable. True.
44:32
What? How?
44:34
How? Jaja, you're reaching.
44:36
You're reaching here. No.
44:37
OK. Have you played Norman's Sky at
44:40
all? Or you and let no.
44:42
So then, then you cannot be the judging authority here, because
44:45
No Man's Sky's base building is is amazingly creative.
44:51
Is. Very creative, like I have my
44:54
like 10 bases and three of them are just mazes like their
45:00
labyrinths, their hidden rooms and my God I had the best time
45:04
making those bases. Same thing happens in Walheim.
45:09
Well hey, architecture, right? It's it's level building like
45:13
it's beauty of design. And even on the base terms,
45:18
depending on how young they get into it, you're, you're just
45:20
talking about spatial learning and how spaces physically relate
45:25
to each other. That can be big for for kids.
45:28
I mean, that's why we play with Legos.
45:30
As a 40 year old man, it's still important for me to participate
45:33
in spatial learning skills. No, because.
45:36
It's too. It's too late for you already.
45:40
'Cause you, you didn't play No Man's Sky when you were a kid.
45:44
Jar jar. That's why no.
45:46
I played Pokémon. My grandmother did look at it
45:48
and she was like, well, at least he's reading.
45:51
Oh he's very good at Legos. Exactly.
45:53
I think that that skill, it gets transfer.
45:55
But in this case, he was playing Legos, before that he was
45:59
playing Norman's guy and he's won awards in his Lego videos
46:03
and what not. Like, you know, it's, it's good
46:06
stuff. I think the skills are very
46:08
transferable. All right, well, look, we're,
46:13
we're, we're going to bring up another caller here soon, but
46:16
Nikki, Nikki Dee, I want to make sure you had enough time to say
46:18
everything you wanted to say. Is there anything else itching
46:22
your bones right now? Maybe the the one thing I'll
46:25
leave you guys with is I do think it's an awesome, awesome
46:30
thing to be able to play games with your kid or just really
46:34
share any experience with your kid that you both enjoy.
46:37
So regardless of how how other people receive it, I feel like
46:45
at the end of the day, it's more important than anything else to
46:49
be able to, you know, share, have a shared experience with
46:51
your kid that you can both enjoy.
46:53
And you know, if that Star Citizen or whatever that is, you
46:58
should be able to do that in any, in any circumstance.
47:03
That's all. Such a beautiful thought.
47:05
Nikki D is leaving right now to schedule his vasectomy.
47:08
I can feel it. Oh.
47:14
Yeah, Nikki, you can stay on the couch if you want, or you can
47:16
pop off as you like. The couch does get bigger and
47:20
bigger than more people that get on.
47:23
Duke peed on it once, but that's what the smell is.
47:25
Don't worry about it. We're going.
47:27
To bring up. Cosmic hobo Next cosmic hobo.
47:31
Regular What are you? This was what's next.
47:33
And Nubis isn't ready. And Nubis told me he's not
47:35
ready. OK, OK.
47:37
So Cosmic Hobo, welcome to Open Comms Radio, your Star Citizen
47:41
Colin show. This week's question How many
47:44
land cards do I need in my commander deck?
47:48
It depends on your mana curve. What if you've got a lot of 1-2
47:55
and three drops, you need fewer land.
47:58
But if you've got some bigger ones like 5 sixes and sevens, if
48:01
you're really bringing out the big boys, you're going to need
48:04
more land. What would you say is like
48:06
average? Average is usually around 20 to
48:09
30 depending on again your manicurve.
48:12
I'm a big fan of 30. I have absolutely no idea what's
48:15
what's going on. I mean, I feel like you got the
48:17
easier, easier question than the rest of us.
48:22
I just want to point this out. Oh yeah, we just Duke ask him
48:25
the Star Citizen one. No.
48:28
What? What was that?
48:29
What was that all about? Magic.
48:32
Magic the Gathering. Keep up bro.
48:35
We're going to play Magic. I'm sorry.
48:37
You can play Magic with your kids.
48:39
I I have kids so. Hey, you can play magic with
48:43
them. My kid.
48:45
We we play Magic. Hobo.
48:48
Can you can can one play Star Citizen with their kids?
48:53
Yeah, you can play Magic with your kids, just you need to
48:55
build them a deck and Nope, no, no, find out what they want to
48:58
play I. I would rather my kids started
49:00
doing drugs like a normal person.
49:02
Yeah, that's fair. And you?
49:04
Buy per card. It's not that expensive.
49:07
If you research the cards you want to buy, it gets.
49:09
Fixed my my dealer said the same thing if I bought per blunt.
49:12
I spend like 80 bucks. It's not that big a deal.
49:14
I have a deck compared to Star Citizen Magic, you know it it's
49:18
it adds up gambling. It adds up, trust me, I've got 9
49:21
decks. My God.
49:24
Anyway, yeah, sure, like all the reasons so far have been covered
49:30
in my opinion for if you can play with your kids and I, I
49:33
have loved that we've not just defaulted to, yeah, shove them
49:37
in a turret because I feel like that's most parents answer is
49:43
yeah, sure I want to stick my kid in a turret or have them be
49:47
a box monkey or something. That's true.
49:50
No one, no one's brought that up.
49:53
I would, I would like to actually have a comment off of
49:56
that. Do you think Star Citizen is, is
49:59
in a bit of a unique situation? I don't know about unique, but
50:02
there are so many game loops, stuff that like you can get your
50:06
kid involved in any, you know, game loop that you know, based
50:12
on what games they enjoy playing.
50:14
So it's not exactly the same, but there's just so many, so
50:17
many different types of of game ones that they can interact with
50:21
that it is, it is a kind of a unique position to be able to
50:27
like get them to play a bunch of different, a bunch of different
50:31
ways with a bunch of different game ones.
50:34
Yeah, and there's there's not. It's not as open-ended as say
50:39
Minecraft, but it's also not as strict as say Call of Duty
50:45
match. It's it's got that nice kind of,
50:49
I can go here, I can do that. Wow.
50:51
There's, there's that appeal to it that you don't get in almost
50:57
any other game that brings, I would assume all of us back to
51:02
the game even after breaks of months, if not years.
51:07
Sometimes it, it, it still brings us back.
51:09
And I think for that reason, it's also good for for kids to
51:12
have sort of that mold breaking experience because if you look
51:18
at games that are advertised to kids these days, Fortnite.
51:22
Roblox. And.
51:25
Band in my ass. Yeah, Minecraft I guess as well,
51:30
but those are very open-ended, but also very, and I know this
51:37
is ironic for talking about star system monetized.
51:40
Yeah, I knew. I knew it was coming.
51:42
Yeah, they're I hate using the word predatory, but oh, they.
51:49
Definitely. Absolutely they are.
51:52
They're. They're literally teaching kids
51:55
to gamble and then everything put in front of them is just
52:00
money. Money, money, money, money,
52:01
money. Yeah.
52:02
And there's a. Great irony for saying that Star
52:05
Sins is not monetized that same way because it it it is, but
52:10
it's not in game, it's not in your face and it's.
52:13
Not constant. It's not on the main menu when
52:16
you turn it on every. Single line.
52:18
Yeah, it's. No login splash screen battle
52:22
pass with a sexy dancing lady or something.
52:26
Gotcha. Oh.
52:27
Hold on, go back to that. Go back to that Lady.
52:29
Go play a gotcha again. Click that.
52:31
Click that. Yeah.
52:32
Yeah, see, that's what they want.
52:33
They it's like, oh wow, I wanted I want pretty lady or I want, I
52:39
don't know, Chappelle Rowan skin so I can floss on my friends.
52:44
Pink Pony Club. That right, It's open-ended
52:54
without being monetized and open-ended, I guess, which it's
53:02
a weird way to put it, but it's, it's refreshing, I think.
53:06
And I think for kids, maybe that could be refreshing for them
53:09
too. I, I don't have kids.
53:11
I've got a 10 year old niece, but she doesn't play much of
53:16
anything. Stardew Valley I think, and
53:20
Zauda, but yeah. OK, OK.
53:28
Now, when you were younger, Cosmic Hobo, what was it that
53:31
you were playing with? No, I'm sorry.
53:34
That came out wrong. What was it that you were
53:35
playing? What video game were you
53:36
playing? That your parents were taken
53:39
away from you, That they're like you?
53:40
No, not this. Or did you have?
53:46
They weren't very good at that in the sense that they weren't
53:49
very good at understanding, I guess, video games all that
53:56
much. Yeah.
53:58
Like so like they, they take away the Xbox or something if I
54:02
was bad or you know, the Game Boy would be taken away at some
54:07
point or another for grounding. Like, you know, everyone,
54:12
everyone gets that at some point in their life as a kid.
54:16
Like they get punished, they did something wrong and they get
54:18
punished. But like, I don't know, my
54:23
parents never fully understood it, which also means that I got
54:28
to play like Halo and GTA and all sorts of things that I was
54:39
probably like. If you remember correctly, some
54:42
of us probably do the first Star Craft just before even Brood
54:47
War. Just Star Craft was rated in.
54:53
It's forgotten it was originally rated in.
54:57
I love the fuck out of that. Was the one I'm 26 before also.
55:01
Who's going to read it out before violence?
55:05
The Marines blow up into blood like.
55:08
Yeah, but those are little tiny Marines.
55:12
We're talking the 90s MPAA here. Look man, when when you're in a
55:16
when you're looking at them from a satellite, all Marines are a
55:18
little teeny tiny. Yeah, exactly.
55:20
That's what I'm saying. There's a lot of blood in that
55:22
game. When you're blowing them up from
55:24
space, it doesn't count. Doesn't count so go around for a
55:28
second. Did was anyone banned from
55:30
playing a certain game from their parents?
55:35
They were not allowed to play anything.
55:37
Nothing. There, there were definitely
55:38
games. They're definitely games that I
55:40
wasn't allowed to play, but they were also ones that I never
55:42
really got my hands on to begin with.
55:45
OK, I guess. But GTA, I knew, like my parents
55:48
knew about that. Oh yeah.
55:53
But yeah, GTA, my parents knew about that one and they
55:56
definitely weren't getting me GTA at that time.
56:00
OK, OK, I'm just thinking because it sounds like it, it is
56:04
very different. Like what you said Hobo is like
56:06
my parents didn't understand video games.
56:08
It's like dude, my parents didn't understand video games
56:10
either. They didn't know shit.
56:12
And I remember I went to GameStop when I was a kid, or
56:15
maybe it was EB Games or whatever, you know, Funko Land
56:18
or something like. That that time.
56:20
And I went to get Resident Evil 4 for the Nintendo GameCube.
56:25
This was like when it was an exclusive to the GameCube.
56:28
And the, the guy behind the counter was like, Are you sure
56:32
you want your kid to play this? And I think I was 14, right?
56:34
But it was rated M And I had a like, he's like, it's extremely
56:39
violent. He's like, people are cutting
56:41
each other's heads off with chainsaws.
56:43
And I looked at my mom and she looked out at me just like,
56:47
yeah, like, whatever. I assume it's a lost cause that
56:52
no, that reminds me, I was working myself.
56:55
I was working at GameStop back in the day when I was in college
56:58
And I remember that, you know, this kid comes in, he's looking,
57:02
he's probably like maybe like 8-8 or nine and he's with his
57:05
mom and he gives me Grand Theft Auto 4, right.
57:10
And I, you know, typically at the spiel and you know, I might
57:12
just, I usually would just say like, Mammy, I'll you'll, you
57:14
where this is rated mature. And the kid was like being a
57:19
Dick. He was like, she's like, oh, and
57:21
he's like, mom, it's fine. Like, you know, I, I play it
57:23
with, with Billy or whatever all the time.
57:25
I play with Billy and she's like, oh, well, like, it's not
57:28
that bad, is it like gives that look and I'm like, I just looked
57:32
at this. I looked at this fat little kid
57:33
who was, you know, being a little Dick.
57:35
And I'm like, ma'am, in this, in this game, your son can not only
57:38
murder whoever he wants, but he can have sex with a prostitute
57:41
and then murder her to get his cash back.
57:43
He's like, she's like, oh, Oh, no.
57:50
We are. Not getting that.
57:52
And the kids like, mom, it's fine.
57:53
Like I played at Billy's house. She's like, well, you're not
57:55
anymore. She's like, thank you.
57:58
They walk out and I'm like, yes. Hopefully one day we'll be able
58:04
to murder the prostitutes to get our money back and Star Citizen
58:07
if they really want to make it immersive.
58:10
A man can dream. That was actually one of my
58:13
other ideas for the the show is What rating should Star Citizen
58:16
be? What?
58:19
Are they going for? Yeah, it's not.
58:20
Rated yet? Definitely seems to be mature
58:23
right with all the sweat. And.
58:26
The shooting of people. I, I think it, I think it
58:29
depends on whether or not the chat is on or off.
58:32
I think that changes their rating really.
58:34
I mean. Global makes an AO game
58:36
immediately. Yeah.
58:38
I mean, outside of that, I don't see.
58:41
I mean, there's no, there's no blood.
58:44
So I mean when you shoot someone.
58:48
A little. If you shoot someone without
58:51
armor, is there blood? I can't.
58:53
It's been so. Long.
58:54
I think so. There's a little.
58:55
I think when you get shot a couple times doesn't your screen
58:58
go all red and splattery? True, but we can just tell the
59:03
the kids that your armor is actually full of spaghetti.
59:07
Yeah, you're just super stoned and your eyes are red.
59:10
They've got a very big spaghetti policy there and the EE very
59:15
expensive one. Honestly, if they, if, if any of
59:19
the the, if anyone survived like Halo one, like voice chat, I
59:24
think, I think that's kind of the benchmark, more or less.
59:29
If you can survive Halo one, then voice chat, I, I think I
59:33
think you'll be OK. And I don't think there's
59:35
anything that. Really terrible person.
59:37
Set that as a benchmark once as he was trying to threaten a
59:42
minority group and a discord server.
59:44
He was like snowflake I survived the Halo lobbies.
59:50
I'm like, oh. My God bless.
59:53
Me too. Me too man I survived.
59:55
I'm still tea bagging people to this day in every game I play.
59:58
You guys know that I do it in. Yeah, but yeah, but that's with
1:00:00
love. I got him.
1:00:02
Not always, not always. All right, look, guys, we got we
1:00:04
got another caller here. This is a regular guy.
1:00:09
But before we bring him up, we do have a word from our sponsor.
1:00:12
Our sponsor is Cruise Lux here. Here goes our word from our
1:00:17
sponsor. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
1:00:21
That was not what we planned, but OK, let me go pull up the
1:00:23
Cruise Lux. Here we go.
1:00:25
All right, these days are tough. The economy's down, Aesop's are
1:00:30
down, even region, but everything seems to be down.
1:00:33
You can count on Cruise Lux to pick you up with 20% SLAM by
1:00:37
volume. Lux gives you the power to push
1:00:39
past the hard parts and make this day your day.
1:00:43
True's Lux give no fucks. Please drink responsibly.
1:00:47
Your clone must be 21 minutes or older.
1:00:49
Not legal on Monarchs or Aberdeen.
1:00:51
True's Lux give no fucks. Insert the commercial Jingle
1:00:55
there. I like your clone must be 20
1:00:59
minutes or older. That's.
1:01:01
Good, that was AI liked that. That was a solid commercial.
