20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: about to say Annie, are you doing anything happy hour ish?

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: Yes, still working through my mom's supply of wine. It

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: lasted me through the ice and now there might be

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: more snow.

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So they say, I don't know. It's one of

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: those things where when they tell us that this bad

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: thing is happening, or like the snow weatherwise, we get prepared,

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Like Georgia wasn't a full blown panic. Bread was gone,

28
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: Milk was gone. I don't know what you're all gonna

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: do with milk, and the refrigerator of the power goes out,

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: but you do you. Eggs were gone except for the

31
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: ones people are are boycotting, which was also funny to

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: see y'all of that. People were in painting mode and

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: then nothing. We dig get some icicles and a lot

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: of wetness, but immediately dried because of all the winds

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: that happened. The wind was intense. I will say that, yes,

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: the wind was intense. Yeah, but with that, if they

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: didn't prepare, which they've done before, we've been like it's

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: not a big deal, and then like, oh, I don't know,

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: ice pocalypse happened. We were like, oh my god. And

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: people were stuck in the card for twenty four hours

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: because people didn't let people go. It was a chaos.

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: So it's one of those things of like we would

43
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: rather be prepared and look dumb than not be prepared

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: and be stuck.

45
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was in my car for fourteen hours.

46
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: I have not forgotten what So one of the things.

47
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: I will brag about till I die was knowing how

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: bad the weather was gonna be before it happened, and

49
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, nope, I'm out. Like I literally looked at

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: my boss and I was like, I'm an hour away

51
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: from here. I'm leaving, Like I just say. He was

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: like what. I was like, I don't play with snow.

53
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm from LJ, which did ice a lot, and any

54
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: snow happened, it happened there, and I think actually they

55
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: missed out on this time too for some reason. South Georgia, Hello,

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: climate change got a lot more snow this year than

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: we had thus far. But yeah, I was like, I

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: don't play with ice, Like we're we're not doing this.

59
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: So I immediately left. And I was like, this job

60
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: is not worth me being stuck here. You ain't getting me.

61
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: So I immediately left the moment I saw it and

62
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: heard it, and when I got there, everything started shutting down,

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: and I was like see And I went and got

64
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: to my little neighborhood grocery store with my wine and popcorn,

65
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: and I was pretty happy.

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah you were smart, Yeah, yeah you're right. To bragger

67
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: about it. It was a nightmare.

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that I it was not again,

69
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: this job was not worth me being stuck. Yet, Yeah,

70
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: they did not care about me. They were very, very

71
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: obvious about the fact that the job did not care

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: about me. I worked for the government, and so I

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not sacrificing my car and myself time

74
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: for things that that can be preventable.

75
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: Now, see, this is my concern now. It's that I

76
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: haven't gone to the grocery store since before last weekend,

77
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: which was when the icing happened. And if the snow

78
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: does come yes Saturday, then I really need to go

79
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: to the grocery store tomorrow.

80
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: Right, don't get casual, because I feel like this is

81
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: when things go wrong.

82
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah oh yeah, And like you said, people panic by

83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: even if nothing happens, So who knows how much will

84
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: even be there. So I didn't know it was going

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: to snow maybe snow until this morning, or I would

86
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: have gone already.

87
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: Really, Oh Annie, all right, I guess the start saying

88
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: a new weather. Here's the other part to this. Though.

89
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: We know that the government has dismantled a lot of

90
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: the programs when it concerns weather and climate change, So

91
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: no wonder we're getting confused data. Just to put that

92
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: out there, because you know, everything is so anyway, back

93
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: to doing some more like let's hope for change, let's

94
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: look at how we can make things change, because the

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: world is awful and I think I'm slipping deeper into

96
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: my sad depression. So with that, Annie, I thought, by

97
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: the way, I'm drinking tea, this is the weather. My

98
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: happy hour choice that I jumped into was I've been

99
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: drinking some tea lately with like good little honey creamers

100
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: whatever whatnot. This time I used my satrone. Which have

101
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: you used satrone yet?

102
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: Yes?

103
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: I have. Do you like it?

104
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: I did like it.

105
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: Yes, it didn't cause anything because there's no tea in it,

106
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: but it didn't cause any reaction night. So listeners, if

107
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: you are allergic to tea and you want something warm

108
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: and delicious that helps them feel soothing, and it's actually

109
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: one of those things like the home remedies of a

110
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: lot of Asian communities, satrone tea that you can find

111
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: at many grocery store, which I think it's becoming more

112
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: and more popular now you can. I think I found

113
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: a giant jar at Costco not as sponsor was again,

114
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: but I wish they will sponsor us. We really like you, Costco.

115
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: I love you give me money. Moving on. But yeah,

116
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: so it's a true it's for the win, but I

117
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: like to add it to all my teas because it does.

118
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: It is delicious, and that's what I'm doing right now

119
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: because it is very cold and the coldness makes me unhappy.

120
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: But warm tea, the warm team makes me very happy.

121
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: So you know, Owen's a win. But today what I

122
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about a little bit was the fact

123
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: that I think, and we've talked about this a lot recently,

124
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: especially because we were talking about gaming and what kind

125
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: of benefits you can get from gaming. We've talked about

126
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: the cozy gaming and how it can help so many

127
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: people relaxation wise, community wise, just doing something engaging. It

128
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: helps your mind to exercise as well, because if you

129
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: do good puzzle stuff, or if you are like me

130
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: who get caught up in the games like Oxen Free,

131
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: which we just talked about, get obsessive and cheat a

132
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: little bit.

133
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: It's not cheating, is.

134
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: It not cheating? I played it through so many times

135
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: that I've not not progressed really well. So I'm like,

136
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: oh no, I need some help now.

137
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm a big walk through person. You only have a

138
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: limited amount of time if you want to play a

139
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: game and make sure you haven't missed something and you've

140
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: already done it enough. I'm a big fan. Yeah. I

141
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: used to live by that when I was playing Silent

142
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: Hill as a kid and my friend Katie, she'd be

143
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: like my woman in the chair and she'd be like,

144
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: jump on the subway and I'll do it. One time

145
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: she did lie and I died immediately left very hard.

146
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: But no, I think that it's a legitimate Okay, good.

147
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: Well with all of that, I've become really fascinated with

148
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: my partner playing a specific game, Arc Raiders. It is big.

149
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: It is huge. It has been around for a couple

150
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: of years, a year or so, I don't know. It's

151
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: been a loung enough that people have caught onto it.

152
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: Twitters and streamers have used this game as their platform.

153
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: Are making huge progress and a lot of money and

154
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: a lot of content with this game alone. And it's

155
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: quite funny because I know really very little, especially when

156
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: it comes to like PC gaming, about this narrative, like

157
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: it throws me off because I can't figure out how

158
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: people use what I use for work only or schoolwork

159
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: or research only as a gaming base. So I'm like,

160
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: what's happening. What's happening? Because I did not know up

161
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: until probably ten years ago gaming was for PC. I

162
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: was thoroughly confused when I watched people play games at

163
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: their computer and I was like, what are you playing Solitaire?

164
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: Is that what we're doing? So for me, this world

165
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: was fairly new, and I was like, okay, And that's

166
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: what I think many people picture both gaming industries in

167
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: that the PC when we say gamers, whether the PC

168
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: world or like PlayStation and all that. I really thought

169
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: it was just PlayStation in Nintendo because my brother's never

170
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: played on PCs. So this was fascinating. Again, you know,

171
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: we grew up in the era of it up and coming.

172
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm really old. Take a moment in silence for my age.

173
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: So him playing his game is quite fascinating because I

174
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: hear again he's in a different room on a different floor,

175
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: and I can hear him talking on his headsets, and

176
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: I do make goofy jokes about oh, you're talking to

177
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: your internet friends. I'm so glad you have internet friends.

178
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: Are you meeting up with your internet friends today and

179
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: sounds ominous, but it's you know, it's just a little

180
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: little poking, not not too much. But some of the

181
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: things that I really I hear from him are some

182
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: of the most wholesome things that I think I've ever

183
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: heard in games. So in my mind when PC g

184
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: come to mind, I think a Call of Duty. I

185
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: know that's one of those big games, and all you

186
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: do is team up together and kill people. That's I'm sure.

187
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm just putting that in very like loose generics, and

188
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: people are gonna be like, no, that's not what that is.

189
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: Don't come at me. I'm just say that's what I

190
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: know of it. You just hear people shooting. There's a

191
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: whole clip in the office in which they do this

192
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: as a team exercise, and they get really loud and

193
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: volatile about like how did you not kill that person?

194
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: Type of narrative. That's what I imagine for PC gaming. But

195
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: when I'm listening to my partner playing these games, they're

196
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: all both either screaming. This is the line I hear

197
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: from him often is does anybody have a defibrillator? Or

198
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: I have a defibrillator? I got you man? Or do

199
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: anybody want to trade? Does anybody want to trade these things?

200
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: So these are the lines that I hear often. I'm like,

201
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: what is what is happening? What is happening? And then

202
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: also are you friendly? Are you friendly? I'm friendly? Don't

203
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: kill me like this is This is the back and forth.

204
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: And as he's talking more and more about this game,

205
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: he gets really excited. He comes and tells me what

206
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: hate's done, and these are the things that you can do,

207
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: and these are the weapons that you can get. It

208
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: has become some of the most wholesome interactions that I've

209
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: ever heard between him talking to each other about helping

210
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: each other up and doing this one mission, trading with

211
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: each other so they can finish a mission, teaming up

212
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: together to go for the boss, whatever whatnot. It is

213
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: something that I'm like, Wow, this is really endearing. And

214
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: the more I talk with him he has sent me

215
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: some content, the more I see like this is a

216
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: whole thing. And there was an article recently. I don't

217
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: have it upbadingy, I'm gonna talk about it, but they

218
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that more people are getting together

219
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: in like rooms or dens or so just to hang out,

220
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: and some of them come together because they have different

221
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: types of musical instruments that when they come together, it

222
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: plays these whole songs together.

223
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: Any wow, okay, Okay.

224
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: So I'm just I was just like, man, this could

225
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: really be an interesting look about our conversation about the

226
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: male loneliest epidemic because unfortunately, just like any other game,

227
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: this game seemed to be more geared towards men when

228
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: we look at who is more interested about it. I

229
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: think it originally came as a person versus person game

230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: and then it went to person versus machines. I don't

231
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: think that's how they call it. Ya. So all those

232
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: things are things. But like as more and more people

233
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: come through, they realize they don't want this as in fact,

234
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: the gaming company has figured this out to the point

235
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: that they build on that. As we were talking about

236
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: Oxen forre you building on those type of choices. They

237
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: also build on that. So the more empathetic you are,

238
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: the more likely that you will be grouped up with

239
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: others who are just as empathetic. Now, don't get me wrong,

240
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: there are those that they call rats who just come

241
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: in as snipe people. Yeah, there's always some bad characters

242
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: We know this when I hear my partner talking to

243
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: the rats the way he talks to them, he's so

244
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: disappointed in them, Like it is not like they don't

245
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't get angry, which I should say probably means

246
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: the whole different thing for him as a green flag,

247
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: that he's not necessarily angry about it, but he's just

248
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: more disappointed. And he does call him a dick, like,

249
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, he will name Paul, but it's

250
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: all with disappointment and like there was one interaction in

251
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: which he that must have been like multiple people. But

252
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: this is what I'm hearing, y'all. I hear I'm a

253
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: friendly I'm a friendly dick. You try to kill me?

254
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: Does anybody have a depibrillator? A person comes over or

255
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: with another person with defibrillator gets him up, but then

256
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: they shot him, and so my partner revives them, and

257
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: then they figured out who the rat was and I

258
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: think my partner ended up shooting him. This sounds of graphic,

259
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: but it's not. But you get the choice of finishing

260
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: them off or not. And my partner goes, hey, man,

261
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: he's the one that shot you. So you make the choice.

262
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: You make this choice. I'll leave it up to you

263
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: to the other dude, and the other dude's like, nah,

264
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: we're just gonna let him lay here, and like, I

265
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: think eventually, if you don't get the help or the

266
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: assistance of someone else, then you just you know, your

267
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: player dies. And so they're like, Okay, that's your choice,

268
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: Like they walk away, Oh wow, and they were like,

269
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: it is again, this is one of the most wholesome iterations.

270
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: And then they're like, well, good playing with you, man, Yeah,

271
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: good luck to you. And then they like go off.

272
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: So but that's the type of interaction that I'm hearing

273
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: from him, and it's not again, it's not just him,

274
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: it is so many in the community. There was one

275
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: where they go to an area where they can just

276
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: zipline and just knock each other off for fun. But

277
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: that's that's the entirety of the thing. They're not trying

278
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: to kill each other, they're just hanging out. It's the

279
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: most wholesome thing. There was another clip of a streamer

280
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: where a woman was singing as she walks in, so

281
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: it was a woman player all love that, and someone

282
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: jumps up and joins her singing. They both scream and

283
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: he's like I enjoyed just singing and really just runs

284
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: off like that's the entirety of Like, of course you're

285
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: trying to find things, you're trying to defeat things, you're

286
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: trying to get to the next level. But it's such

287
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: wholesome content. Them'm like, what, I don't know. I've been

288
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: with my partner for seven years now and I've heard

289
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: him play a lot of games. This is the first

290
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: time that I've seen this type of interaction in a

291
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: game that's all strangers. Again, I will say this, I'm

292
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: just an and I know this is so far off

293
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: that we've talked about. How Like, when it comes to

294
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: the malowliness epidemic, even though the women are not the

295
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: cause of it, the women are the ones that feels

296
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the repercussions of it, whether it's the

297
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: violence that happens because of in cell ideals, or whether

298
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: it's the lashing out in general and being told that

299
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have the rights like politically, like we see

300
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: the overall damage that it caused. We also understand that

301
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: men stereotypically but like statistically, do not emote, or have

302
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: conversations or have moments of like empathy and calm and

303
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: just kindness, oftentimes with each other if it doesn't involve

304
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: something mainly. Don't get me wrong, I guess in this scenario, yes,

305
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: it seems like video gaming it is considered mainly, which

306
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: is unfortunate because it's not It shouldn't be, but in

307
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: this scenario it is seen that way. But the thing

308
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: that surprises me is in a time where we see

309
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: such harshness and such violence, they're taking the opportunity to

310
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: choose to be the nicer versions of themselves.

311
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, I mean, especially like going back

312
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: to what you were saying, I've done a lot of

313
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: PC gaming in my time, but usually I associate it

314
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: with like there's a reason I don't play with strangers online.

315
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: So it's nice to hear that that is happening. But

316
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: it's also because it kind of reminds me of what

317
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: we were talking about with when we had Doctor Bathon

318
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: recently to talk about trans athletes, and we had that

319
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: conversation about kind of the toxic masculinity in the locker

320
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: room and how it's actually like really hurting boys. And

321
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: one conversation we've had before on this show is that

322
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: a lot of games that are designed by women do

323
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: have a lot of a lot more of that type

324
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: of interaction of like not necessarily violence, like you know,

325
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 2: more calm, more friendly. And I feel like since feminine

326
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: traits are so have for so long been looked down on,

327
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: it's really nice to see that transition outside of just oh,

328
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 2: that's how women gamers are, because it is healthy and

329
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: it is nice.

330
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: So there is an article written by somemerver singh I

331
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: really so hope I said that right. This was written

332
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: in November of last year, twenty twenty five, and it's

333
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: titled Arcreator's community is the best in the gaming right

334
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: now and then that he says, but there's a catch,

335
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: but I wanted to read this part. He says that

336
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 1: art Graders specifically was created to be PvP ve so

337
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: like you can do all those things, and in this game,

338
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: the arcs were the real enemy, but still had the

339
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: options to take each other's stuff essentially, and he says

340
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: art Graders, while being an online multiplayer shooter, still feels

341
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: more it's like a quiet social experiment about how it's

342
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: actually working, like what is working, And he says there

343
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: are streamers who could have gone the sweaty PvP route.

344
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: Some have and they and the more power to them,

345
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: but instead they've leaned into wholesome chaos. It's genuinely refreshing

346
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: to see popular content creators who thrive on viewership's post

347
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: clips about trust building rather than kill streaks. The proximity

348
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: chat feature in the Arts Raider is perhaps its best feature,

349
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: and again my partner was like, yes, this is He

350
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: was explaining to me how this is great because it

351
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: becomes its own kind of theater, providing hilarious and sometimes

352
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: heartfelt encounters That to me is the power of design

353
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: that rewards empathy. The games most viral clips aren't about dominance,

354
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: but rather about players coming together to work towards a

355
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: common goal or just to exchange jokes. Clearly and Bark

356
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: has done something right the creators, because I hear someone

357
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: say the phrase it's us against the clinkersman at least

358
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: twice every day while playing this game. It is interesting

359
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: because my again, my partner met to random gamers and

360
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: he thinks they're both in the UK, and they set

361
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: up times to go do quests together. I have again

362
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: heard them come together just to sing and just to

363
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: like and they sit there listening to the singing and

364
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: praising them for what they can do. There was one

365
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: clip of the and it was titled the Nicest Gamer Ever.

366
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: And he just says, there's a guide people and help

367
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: them around in different locations to get whatever quest is helping.

368
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: And my partner, actually this send me a TikTok and

369
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: it's from mister Coffee, who is a woman gamer. You

370
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: know who this is, you're not in your head. I've

371
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: heard of them, yeah, okay, okay, And she talks about

372
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: having meeting women and specifically Arc Raiders and how it's

373
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: the best. And I see people like commenting throughout about

374
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: in the different women gamers and I love this about

375
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: how their interactions have been so fun. And then one

376
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: of them was like every time I see a girl,

377
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, heck, yeah, let's get together. But then there's

378
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: so many dudes on here who have actually said I

379
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: love this. I love that this is what this game

380
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: is about. Like I have seen so many great comments,

381
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: even from the men, which is rare. Let's be honest,

382
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: which is rare. Like one dude says, a girl snuck

383
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: up on me in a burried city the other day

384
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: and persuaded me into a rubber ducky trade in a

385
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: dark alley like it's like the experiences earlier, and then

386
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: this one says, I thought you were going to start blasting.

387
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: This was beautifully wholesome. And it is this interaction between

388
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: the women getting each other goods, finding each other goods,

389
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: and helping with each other that says, as a dude,

390
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad y'all found you a little comfort and experience

391
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: some fun in the game. Games are for everyone. Video

392
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: games are the best way to chill and meet some

393
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: kindred spirits. And then it's just all these things and

394
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: I love seeing these comments like these encouragement one woman

395
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: game reput I'm crying. We really are just girls trying

396
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: to make our way in a male dominated industry. I

397
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: love being a girl. So like, there's so many aspects

398
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: to this. Again, I know nothing about this company. Really,

399
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: I know again about the game because of my partner,

400
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: But the interactions that I continue to see, it feels

401
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: so nice to see that the winning part to this

402
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 1: type of game is more welcoming, more empathy and just fun.

403
00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need more. Yeah, it's just nice. It's just nice, nice,

404
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: and it's it's I'm very happy to hear that people

405
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: are having that experience because it is so fun. That

406
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: kind of reminds me of when you have a really

407
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: good D and D crew. Yeah, because D and D

408
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: can be very, very toxic. But when you find like

409
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: your good crew, then you do have very silly like yeah,

410
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: here's my rubber duck in a dark cat like you

411
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: have these interactions that are so funny and cute, and

412
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: then you know, maybe you meet up with that person

413
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: again digitally or not. But it was nice. It was

414
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 2: a good experience for you both. And it's a funny.

415
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: Story, right exactly. And it seems like that's more of

416
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: the case than not when it comes to this game. Again,

417
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: it could just be my FYP. There are some content

418
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: creators who loves chaos, and apparently one big, big, huge

419
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: and he has made his fame off this game, I believe.

420
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: But his whole thing is to almost kill people bring

421
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: them back and because he knows he's famous enough that

422
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: they're going to help him get more stuff. You know.

423
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: Sure that works too, I guess. But all of the

424
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: thing is like, it's nice to see and again, what

425
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: feels like such a hostile timing that in pretend in

426
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: games people are making better choices again, and this is

427
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: supposed to be an into the world like scenario this game,

428
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: so it's nice to see. I feel like it almost

429
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: makes me want to play the game just to have

430
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: the interactions. But I'm not good, so I would just

431
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: frustrate myself and everyone with me. I think I would

432
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: just die. You get you definitely die if you fall

433
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: of me. So I think so, and I feel like

434
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: I need to enlist you into playing once or twice.

435
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: There is also a voice modifier, so you can change

436
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: your voice to be a woman or a man. Oh yeah,

437
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: from what I understand.

438
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 2: I've never done the voice thing. I've done the like typing.

439
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.

440
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: Maybe I've got the headphones, I got the.

441
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: Little we need to get you in one time. Well,

442
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: have you and my partner go through a game, just

443
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: so you can tell us what you experienced, because I

444
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: don't know this from firsthand, and my partner is a man,

445
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: so his interactions are probably gonna be different. So and again,

446
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: since I'm not good at games in general, I think

447
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: I would just end up being hated and murdered all

448
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: the time.

449
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully it's a nice community, because that's kind of

450
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: the problem with with like what you The example you

451
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: brought up with the office is that Jim was so bad. Yeah,

452
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: and he kept dying repeatedly and people would get mad

453
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: at him or yell at him, or hopefully in a

454
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: nice experience, you know, people would be like, it's okay,

455
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: so come on, you can do this.

456
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: Well, Annie, I'm this is another one. I'm putting you

457
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: in as an list thing, like I'm gonna need you

458
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: to try one time and tell me about it.

459
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: I have no idea what this game is. I never

460
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: heard of it until you brought it up. I don't

461
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 2: know the plot is. I don't have no idea. So

462
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,600
