First off, you need to deal with the Nintendo Prime AI. It has been installed to take over this stream temporarily. The music you just listened to was known as the best Nintendo music ever by Poop Emoji. This is not a joke. It's called best Nintendo music by Poop Emoji. If you like these beats, go ahead and listen on Spotify. That being said, before the AI bot signs out, how is everyone doing in the stream tonight? Can I get a hell yeah. I do have a friend that wants to stop in and say hi before we go. It's time to start the stream. Don't worry, this isn't a dream. You're watching a Nintendo Prime live because Nate's just trying to survive. The scalpers always win. Let the stream begin. It's happening, everyone. How are you doing?

I don't have anything to put on the background up there. How's it going, everyone? I hope you're having an awesome night tonight. We got a big stream for you today because today is the day that Switch OLED went on pre-order. It's also the day that Switch OLED began to be scalped. Also, there were rumors about this. Steam decided to drop their own Nintendo Switch competitor. We're going to talk about that as well. Before we do, let me say hi to every single one of you in the stream.

Nice. I'll be picking up Skyward Sword in the morning from Walmart because it's $10 off if you pick it up in person at Walmart. I'm going to go to Walmart and do that. God's Servant is here. Welcome. We got Carl Struford is here. Scrolling on down that list. Oh my gosh, Mac Main. I haven't said hi to you yet. We got Jedadia Johnson. And by the way, for every single Super Chat or donation tonight, we're only doing shots. I'll get into that in a moment because we have some new additions to our lineup today. Oh boy. One of them could get quite dangerous, but we'll see how that goes. Let's just say it might be a little crunk tonight. Turtle 97 is here. Pavansay is here. Lilian Palacios is here. Moho Ryzen is here. Joyce E.J., Emerald Gaming. Yeah, I think that's almost everyone. If I missed you, I really apologize. I'm trying not to. And we have another Super Chat poppin. Hey! Thank you, Brian, for the $2. We're not the same person. Brian C. is not me. That's cool. A couple of Brian's in the chat. That's awesome. All right, let's get to the like smash. I'm going to have 140 plus watching right now. Let's get this to 100 likes tonight. We can do it, right? The more likes, the least you can do. I don't care if you're Super Chat. I mean, it's cool if you do. But the least you can do tonight is pop those likes off. It's free. And I help spread the stream. If you enjoy it, if you're being entertained, if you enjoy my channel at all, help us get discovered by more people and grow this channel together. Yeah. So a couple of things. We need to get the shots going. We're going to get our extra tall shots. Because we've got multiple shots to take. That's what we use this one for. We're going to kick off tonight. All those little Super Chats. I think there's one. How many did Nintendo Prime do? I don't even remember. So we have one from Brian, one from Taker 610. And then that Nintendo Prime bastard, the stream again, jeez. I think he did like three or four. So we're just going to fill this bad boy up all the way. We're going to start with some Reds Wicked Apple today. That we're going to do some shots of here. This is 8% alcohol, which is more than that. Miller light water bullshit, right? Which we still have some of that too. We've got some new additions to the lineup. So anything that approaches $10 tonight, I will bust out the UV Red. Of course, 30% alcohol. You guys know the deal. This is a little tiny bottle of UV Red. Obviously, if we get our $100 in total Super Chat tonight, or a $100 Super Chat, that's when we bust out the cock tequila, tequila or tequila, if it's me. But here's where things get dangerous. For any $20 or up Super Chat, you know what this is, right? That's Goldschlager. 43.5% alcohol. Goldschlager. Brand new, fresh bottle, seal, not even broken. You can see the gold flakes in there, sort of, kind of, can you? I don't even know how well it shows up on the camera. But yeah. Cinnamon schnapps liqueur, liqueur with gold. Gold! So we'll see if that gets busted out tonight. A little dangerous to that happens. Logan LeBlanc! Oh, you know it, baby. Thank you for that one. Doll hair! All right. Let's get our shot glass filled all the way to the top here. And let's get into it. So Unreal Christian, welcome to the stream, says, I'm surprised you don't use stream labs. What do you think I'm using, sir? There's actually two different things you can really use. There's stream elements and stream labs. I literally use stream labs. But let's get in the full, the full thunder glass here. Probably going to be some head. Already got a little spillage, that's all right. The head on this isn't as bad as it is on a, uh, a Miller light. It's a lot more, a lot more head on Miller light when I pour it. Not as bad here. We'll let this calm down before we get into, hey, another one here. All right. So for starters, yes, I did get a pre-order in today for switch OLED. Now look, it's okay. Switch OLED is not for everyone. So not everyone's excited about switch OLED. And that's okay. But you know who is excited for switch OLED? Oh, the same people that are always excited. Of course, we're talking about, and I didn't change this yet, because I'm just dumb. Oh, we're talking about scalpers and it's not working. So hold up, hold up. Wait a minute. Let's, uh, let's first of all, let's fix this birthday text. It ain't my birthday. My birthday month. But it's not my birthday right now. Uh, or properties. Let's, um, be day month. Let's do that. And then let's figure out why this monitor is not showing up. Uh, where are you monitor? Video capture. PC. Display capture. Which one? Is it this one? Properties? Uh, I know why it's not showing up. Damn it. That's what happens when I start Streamlabs. Give me one second. I gotta reboot Streamlabs. Stream's gonna die for a moment. Hey, we're back. We're back. All right, all right. Sorry about that. Um, had a little bit, had a little bit of a hiccup here. With Streamlabs, did not have Streamlabs set up correctly. Um, so we're good to go now and we're back. Everything's good. All right, let me, um, top off the shotguns. We're going all the way to the top. All the way to the tippy tippy top. All right, not, but not a bad way to start things. So what you're seeing here is eBay. And we're going to chug this down here in a moment. Um, so what you're seeing here is eBay. And, uh, yeah, let's just say the switch OLED's already being scuffed. 600. 500. 600. 500. 490. Um, uh, it doesn't have free shipping though. Uh, 600. What's it going for? Buy it now prices. Let's look at buy it now. Um, so 500. Let's say you can get a, for around 500 scalp. That's not too bad. Worse, it's $150 over MSRP. This person's trying to get 700. They're a little nuts. 575. So you kind of get the point, right? You get the point. You understand what's going on, right? It's getting scuffed. It's getting scuffed to scalper hell and back again. Um, it's kind of dumb, obviously. Uh, I heard at some online retailers that it was very, very hard to get pre-orders in. Best Buy was screwing people. Um, I heard that, uh, not, uh, what was it? Uh, GameStop was having issues online. Um, I heard Amazon had issues. I heard everyone had issues, except for Target for some reason. Cause Target went live at a different time. And so people didn't realize Target was live. So their servers weren't blasted and people were able to actually check out at Target. Uh, so kudos to that. Uh, I personally got my pre-order in, in person at GameStop. I actually streamed myself driving to, uh, and making that pre-order in store. So I, I have my pre-order in for Switch OLED. But I get the Switch OLED stuff for everyone. So like today's an exciting day for some people, but for others it's kind of like, eh, you know, I don't really care about Switch OLED. I don't get what the big deal is. And there's even some controversy surrounding Switch OLED, because as Bloomberg reported, Takahashi Matsuzuki, again, uh, came out and reported that essentially all the changes to the Nintendo Switch OLED, which by the way costs 17% more than the base model Switch, only costs about $10 at manufacturing. So, you know, it's about $3 to $5 more for the OLED panel over the LCD panel, which is quite a bit of money for a single part. Uh, but then it's only about a couple bucks for the kickstand, uh, about $3.50 for the additional 32 gigs in memory, which obviously some people are like, well, if it only costs that much more in memory, why wouldn't they give us at least 128? Charge us like an extra, you know, 10 bucks on memory or whatever. Uh, and just give us the 128 gigs that I think should be the baseline for Switch. Uh, and they didn't do that. And yet they're charging you $350, AKA they're charging you $40 extra profit. Now, at the time that Switch launched, at manufacturing prices alone, this does not include boxing the system or shipping the system. Uh, Nintendo was making roughly $43 a profit on Switch. Um, this was from a number of years ago. They were likely making more profits on the Switch now than they were then. So, this almost doubled the profits of Switch for Nintendo. Um, very interesting, uh, that this is the route they went now. Again, we don't know the exact profit margins, because when we talk about profits, we're saying the Switch at, basically at the time was costing $257. This was three years ago we found out. Nintendo Switch's parts to make it at manufacturing were $257. That included parts and labors to build it. But it did not include packaging. That did not include shipping to retailers. And it did not include the retailer cut. So Nintendo really wasn't making $40 profit per Switch. They were probably making more like maybe $10 to $15 profit per Switch sold. But they were making a profit. They're obviously making much more profits now. Um, I'm assuming they're making almost $100 per Switch. You know, base model Switch sold at this point as close to pure profits. Uh, so that's probably what's happening. And then obviously Switch OLED, they just tapped on an additional $40 in profit. So, uh, it's interesting because clearly they couldn't release Switch OLED. This is what's angered some people. They could have released Switch OLED at $299 and just discontinued or cut the price of the base model of Switch. I feel like cutting the price would have been smart and then discontinue that model next year. And, you know, kind of like what they did with the 3DS and 3DS XL, right? They cut the price of the 3DS, uh, brought the 3DS XL in at that $199 and then eventually just discontinued the 3DS and just made the XL and then eventually the new Nintendo 3DS and all that down the line. I think that would have been a smarter choice for Nintendo, for Nintendo, but they didn't go that route. And they didn't go that route because the Switch keeps selling out. Now, not the Switch Lite. It's pretty easy to get your hands on a Switch Lite, but the base model Switch keeps selling out. So Nintendo doesn't have a market reason to cut prices. So what is Nintendo doing with Switch OLED? Taking advantage of the market. I think if it wasn't for the pandemic, if it wasn't for the fact that the Switch itself, the base model Switch keeps selling out, they would not have released Switch OLED at $350. In fact, I think Switch OLED originally, I don't have proof of this, but just based on the fact it's only $10 in extra parts, I feel like Switch OLED was supposed to come out at $299. I feel like they were going to do what they did with the 3DS. The problem is the release schedule lines up with the same point that they're still selling out of that base model Switch in a lot of countries, including right here in the United States, where you can get your hands on a new one. Sometimes you're lucky and can grab one in store, but oftentimes you grab one off Amazon and they ship it to you in three weeks because you're just buying future shipments. So Nintendo knew that, they took advantage of the marketplace and released this at $350. This reminds me of the 3DS's original launch price. Remember, the 3DS originally launched at $250, which, by the way, made Nintendo's slim profit margins. The problem is it didn't do a lot to justify that price point. The 3D effect with the AR cards was really, really cool, but they didn't do enough, in my mind, to justify buying it. I bought one at launch just because, look at what I do, not just, you know, I wasn't doing YouTube at the time, but I was covering Zelda stuff as editor-in-chief at a big website and I had a lot of stuff to take care of. So it was just kind of a cluster F situation with 3DS and they ended up cutting the price with $50. They don't have to cut the price of Switch OLED right now. It's sold out and being scalded. Now, it's not sold out in every territory. Australia's got ones readily able to get. I heard the UK has one. I heard some retailers in Canada still have a few available. But in the U.S., at least, it's sold out. Now, is it sold out because of demand or is it sold out because of scalping? I have no idea. And we had another SuperChackabit. Thank you, Daniel Bonon, for the $2. And he says, will Nintendo sue Valve off this new device? No. No, they will not. But I am going to explain why they can't sue Valve in a moment. But we're going to get to the Valve story in a moment. Right now, we're talking about Switch OLED and the pre-orders and the scalping. So we're going to get to the Steam Deck, which I find as a funny name. I'm surprised it was the Deck. I think it's the Deck part that's really... We'll get into that in a moment. Let me finish off these old shots. It looks like I owe another one here for you. Thank you so much, Daniel Bonon. And let me just finish this off. This is from earlier in the stream. This is a tall boy right here. That is tall as heck. That is a much richer beer than Miller Lite, that's for sure. By the way, if you're drinking with me tonight, as always, I implore people, drink responsibly. I am well over the age of legal drinking in the United States. I am at home. I'm not driving anywhere. I always drink responsibly. I'm always drinking water all the time. I take care of myself. I hydrate. I know it doesn't always look like I take care of myself. I'm a big boy. But I do back on the workouts. I've been working out now for a few days again after being out of the habit for a while due to some other circumstances I don't want to talk about. But I'm back on my workout kick. I'm back on my diet. Back on my way back down. So just in time because I'm going on vacation here in a little bit. We'll talk about that maybe a bit later too. Let me get this finished off here. And then talk with you guys about what your thoughts are on Switch OLED because Nintendo is definitely ripping us off. They're definitely ripping us off. There's no if ands about what's about it. And they're doing it on purpose and they know they can get away with it. They're taking advantage of the marketplace. And I want to talk about that because I had a weird tweet at me today. It was a comment on YouTube today about the fact that I pre-ordered from GameStop and someone telling me that I shouldn't support a shitty company like GameStop. And I'll get into the moment why it doesn't really matter you're buying a consumer electronic that alone supports a lot of shitty things. And we'll touch base on that a smidge. I don't want to get too deep into it. I'm not like the most highest knowledgeable thing on this but there's a lot of really bad things that go into technology. And by the way, Nintendo themselves isn't exactly a non shady company either. I just pointed out how they're literally ripping us off on Switch OLED because they know they can get away with it. Because they know the market is dry on switches and they know it's going to sell out this holiday. It also leads me to a theory I had for next year that I think is clearly going to happen and it's going to clearly upset a lot of us Switch OLED buyers. I'm not going to be upset because I see it coming. There's going to be a lot of Switch OLED buyers that don't see it coming. And I want to warn you about this because mark my words what's going to happen a year and a half from now. Let me finish this off. I got one more shot to do over this and then I'll get to you guys' comments in the chat here on all this situation as well. We'll go to the single shot glass here. All right, let me set this aside. Get my water out. Here's what's going to happen. I'm telling you guys this right now. The shortage is on consoles. We get Xbox Series X. The S is easier to get but much of the Xbox Series X the PlayStation 5, Switch, Switch OLED, etc. is going to end at some point. I think it's going to end at some point next year and it's going to be fairly easy to get your hands on any system that you want. It's going to be fairly easy. This is just a personal opinion of mine. I don't know this for a fact but I'm pretty certain by summer of next year it's going to be pretty easy to get your hands on whatever platform you want. We're coming down from the pandemic. Japan is still dealing with some aspects of the pandemic. They're doing a really bad job with vaccinating people and they have their own issues going on so that doesn't impact Nintendo and their development schedule. But in terms of manufacturing, it's pretty much right back to where it was pre-pandemic. The problem is demand is still outweighing what manufacturing can do. That's going to come down. Most of the world gets back to our normal lives and we start to have less time to play games. It's going to lead to the demand going down just naturally, organically. Now, will gaming still be bigger than it's ever been? Absolutely. But I think the demand, non-sub-demand for hardware is going to be going down. So as we get back to that reality and switches and everything else, which OLEDs become really easy to get in 2022, I think something very interesting is going to happen. I think Nintendo is going to discontinue the base model switch. That switch that all of us own. I mean, maybe you own Switch Lite. But if you own a version one or version two base model switch that docks with your TV, I don't think Nintendo is going to be manufacturing them anymore after next summer. I think that's it. I think they're going to be done making them. And here's why. Because by holiday next year, they're going to drop the price of Switch OLED to $299. Why? Because I think that was not only the intended launch price of Switch OLED, and they're just taking advantage of the marketplace right now. I think it's because the Switch OLED is clearly just a replacement for the base model already. What is the Switch OLED? The Switch OLED is the base model switch, but better, right? I think we can all agree with that. It's the base model switch, same internals, but better, better kickstand, better screen. Ethernet jack that probably runs at least a gig, which is actually going to make online gaming better. It is literally, bigger screen by the way, 7 inches, only a smidge 0.1 millimeter wider than the current switch. It's pretty much the exact same dimensions. Ways a little bit more of course. OLED panels do way more than LCD panels. Same battery. The thing is, it's a base model switch, but just a little bit better. What was the version 2 switch? The base model switch, but with better battery life. Now we know the internals changed a little bit. They shrunk the die, which cleaned up one of the easy ways to hack Switch. You used to be able to cross two pins. Like if you have a version 1 switch, it's super easy to hack and there's no one firmware that can fix it because you just cross two pins and by the bing, by the boom, you can get into underneath all of Nintendo's layers of security and install your own stuff. They fixed up that when they shrunk it down for Switch Lite and then they brought that chip over to the switch and left the battery the same size, which was more power efficient and led to better battery life. So technically version 2 switches are better than version 1 switches, but they discontinued version 1 switches and only made version 2 because it cleaned up a security thing. Here's the thing. Switch OLED is basically version 3 switch. It is base Nintendo switch, but a little bit better. Not better spec-wise, but better designed. So why the hell won't they just replace the base model with a better base model? It's literally the base model, but better. No, they could have just called it a Switch XL and I think if they would have called it a Switch XL they would have had a bit less backlash because a lot of people obviously expected this to be a pro and be more powerful and I think by them calling it Switch OLED that wasn't exactly a clear marketing point even though obviously, hey, it has an OLED screen. They're just pointing out the most marketable part of this new system. Why don't they call it a Switch XL? They would have been like, oh, okay. I mean, that's what they did 3DS, 3DS, 3DS Lite, 3DS XL, then new Nintendo 3DS. You can kind of see the path. But then going Switch, Switch Lite, then Switch OLED, which is essentially a Switch XL. What the hell, man? Like why didn't you just call it Switch XL? They're doing a different marketing scheme. I have no idea. And you don't have to buy it, by the way. If you, especially if you'd primarily pay a dock mode, why the hell would you buy this? I mean, you could buy the dock if you want an Ethernet port on your own and you might be like, but I have an Ethernet dongle. We've been over this before. Your Ethernet dongle is limited by the USB port on the Switch dock, which is only USB 2.0, which means you're likely not taking advantage of the full speed of your local internet, especially if you have cable, you have fiber. You're definitely not taking advantage. So yeah, that's one of those things where a local Ethernet port, supposing they're using a basic LAN controller should be running at least a gig. It'd be nice if we got five gig. That's probably not going to be the case. It's not going to be a gig, but that's fine. A gig is, most people, most of us don't have more than that coming into the house. That would only affect local network. So that's basically doesn't matter for Switch. It doesn't really support external storage anyways. So you don't need to worry about that. But it's interesting, isn't it? They're charging more for Switch OLED than I think they normally would because look at the insane profit margin, but it's sold out. They're going to drop the price of the Switch OLED in a year and a half by holiday next year and they're going to stop making the other Switch, and it's just going to be Switch Lite and Switch OLED. Now it's possible that they also have another new model in the works for 2022 or 2023 that is the Switch Pro or whatever you guys want to call it. I'm not going to dismiss that possibility, but I'm just working with what we got now. This is a base model Switch, but a smidge better. It's going to replace the base model Switch. I think if you don't think Switch OLED is going to replace the current 299 Switch, then you're just not thinking logically. This is that, but a smidge better. Why have two of the same thing, but one's a smidge better? They're just going to replace the old one. Now, what's also interesting is that we call it the Nintendo Switch OLED, but OLED is in the brackets, right? In those, what are those called? Not a bracket, whatever it's called. I forget what those are called because the brackets I think are the ones that are kind of like a... whatever. You know what I mean? I know what a bracket is. It's not exactly a bracket, whatever those things are called, right? And it's not by the name. It just says Nintendo Switch again on it, just like it says for Switch Lite, but see Switch Lite on the box says Switch with Lite next to it, no parentheses or whatever, right? OLED is at the bottom of the box and on the top it says Nintendo Switch. Now, this is obviously to differentiate it from you have your base model Switch and then this, but I don't even know if they're going to leave OLED on the package forever. They might eventually just drop OLED off and just leave it as Nintendo Switch because OLED's not really even part of the title. OLED is like a feature listing. It's like Sony putting 8K on the box of PlayStation 5. Sure. It eventually, I think it doesn't... I think they've released an update to support 8K TVs. Now, maybe I'm wrong, maybe they haven't released that update yet. It really only matters for 8K video watching, which is weird because they don't have an 8K Blu-ray player on it. I don't know, maybe there's some streaming... Are there any streaming services streaming in 8K? I'm pretty sure there isn't. I think they're all still at 4K. All of them aren't even at 4K. I don't even think there's an 8K streaming service and I don't think there's any 8K games on PlayStation... Is there an 8K game? Maybe, you know what? Now, I think about it, maybe there was an indie game, I think that was running at 8K on PlayStation 5. But I don't know if that's available in 8K yet. It doesn't really matter. I don't have an 8K TV, so it's not like I couldn't even see the option anyways. The point is that it's kind of like a marketing term, right? OLED. But that's not part of the title. The title of this platform is just called Nintendo Switch. OLED is in parentheses as a marketing term. It's clearly just going to replace the base model switch in a year and a half. Holiday 2022. And it's going to be at $299. And it's going to piss off a lot of early adopters that spent $350. And you know what Nintendo's going to do? Give us like a year free of Nintendo Switch Online. What did they do back on the 3DS? When they cut the price of 3DS, they did that ambassadors program, right? Gave us a few free games and all that. I don't think Nintendo's even going to do that. I think if they want to apologize, it'll literally be here's a free year subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. $20 value. I think that's at most what Nintendo will do. Or they'll just do nothing because they don't have to justify selling it at $350. Because it's sold out. It's being scalped right now. It's sold out. And it's going to be sold out all through the holiday. They're going to stop making base model and they're just going to make this. So, what are your guys' thoughts on this? Obviously this has nothing to do with, oh my god, we're going to get a more powerful Switch next year. We're getting into that in a moment because we got to talk about Valve's Switch competitor. Valve is coming after Nintendo pretty hard. Sort of. There's actually a debate on if what Valve is doing even really competes with Switch. But sales will be the tell of that if it actually hurts Switch sales. But we'll get into that in a moment. I want to get your guys' thoughts on Switch OLED. Did you get a pre-order in today? Do you want a pre-order? Did you only pre-order it because your friends are ordering? Do you care that it's being scalped? Do you care that Nintendo is charging a significant price increase for only $10 worth of components? And this is increasing price of components. Obviously, you have the normal price of the LCD. This would be like $3 to $5 in addition to that price. So it's not like they're getting the OLED for $5. It'd be like whatever the LCD originally cost tack on $3 to $5 and that's what the OLED costs. So what are your guys' thoughts? I have it pre-order. I'm getting it. But I'm also a YouTuber. And I told Eric today. You guys know Eric from the Nintendo Prime Podcast. I told him, hey, sorry I didn't message you about pre-orders for Switch OLED. And he's like, yeah, why didn't you? And I said, do you want pre-orders? Do you want a Switch OLED? It's not any more powerful than the Switch you got. So he kind of agreed, hey, we're just going to... Do we have a sponsor? Is that a Patreon member? Hold up. Did we just get a new Patreon member? Hold up. We haven't had a new Patreon member in forever. By the way, if we hit 10 new members tonight, I think we're at one. Is that count even updated? I don't even know if that counts. I think we're at one new member tonight. If we hit 10, we do a giveaway on stream. Do we just gain a new member or a new Patreon? I don't even advertise our Patreon. That would be crazy if we gained a new Patreon. No, new member. We got a new member. Why didn't it pop up in the chat? Hey, why didn't the member... Hey, YouTube, why didn't the membership pop up in the chat? Well, thank you, Justin Basil for becoming a champion. I appreciate it, man. I guess that's two out of 10 members tonight. Again, I don't know why the member thing's not updating. Maybe I need to drag this over and just manually update it. No, not that. Not that. No one cares about you, Photoshop. Let me update this member goal. For some reason it's not updating now. I want to make sure we're at the accurate membership count here. So I'm going to end this goal. We're going to start it over again. Member... Member goal again. If we get eight more members, it's like you hit that join button. We will end up at... We're going to giveaway tonight. Probably a $20 eShop gift card to be completely honest. Uh, zero seven. Actually, let's go. Let's try. Let's send it for that. Start goal. All right. All right. Should be good. Yeah, we're at two out of 10. We had a new super chat come in. Making you play your boy 182 for the $5. All right. Let me get that shot up for you. It says, does the OLED selling out for $3.50 mean that Sony and Microsoft could probably sold the consoles for $100 or even $200 more and still have seen success. That's a good question. I think Microsoft probably know. I think Microsoft is selling it at the sweet spot because they have a compelling argument with Game Pass, but Game Pass is also on PC, it's on Android phones, although that's through streaming. So I feel like PlayStation is the one that it's like, you know, could they have gotten away this time around with a $5.99 price point? It feels like they could have, right? I think PlayStation 5 would have still sold out at $5.99. Let's say they bump the all digital, the $4.99, they sell the PlayStation 5 for $5.99, even if Xbox Series X holds its price. So it's actually more expensive. I think it still would have sold, don't you? I think it's still be sold out to this day. I think so. I mean, look at it. People are spending $800 a pop on eBay for PlayStation 5. Clearly they would have spent $600. Of course, in scalper prices would be like $1,000, which they were for a while. I think it would have sold out. I think demand is so high, it would have sold out almost at any price. PlayStation, anyways. Not Xbox, but PlayStation. Thanks so much, Playboy. So let's get some thoughts here. What do you guys think about Switch OLED? We'll get to the Sony or Sony? The Valve Steam Deck in a moment. Let's see what you guys' thoughts on Switch OLED. Crazy is called. What are you doing? Your Skywardster giveaway on the streamer off. It'll be announced tomorrow morning in a community post on our YouTube channel. So make sure you're checking out our YouTube channel and checking out our community tab. That's where I will be announcing the winners. There'll be two of them. So yeah, I'll also be emailing the winners as well. So the winners will be fully emailed. So even if they don't see it, they'll see the email, I hope. So either through email or through the community tab. Hopefully they see it. But email, obviously, that's how I'm going to send you your item. So send you a copy of the Skywardster. DragonG26 says, I definitely want one to replace my version one Switch. But Canadians can't pre-order yet. So that was one thing. Am I wrong? Correct me if I'm wrong because I was a little busy today. Did Nintendo warn us that pre-orders were going up today? Was there a warning that Switch OLED pre-orders were going up today? I honestly don't know. I don't think Nintendo warned us because we've been waiting every day like, when are pre-orders going up for this thing? When are pre-orders going up? We were never given a pre-order date, but did Nintendo warn us today? I'm not sure because I was really busy this morning. I caught wind of it. I caught wind of it because I'm going to go to Nintendo of America's Twitter account. I only caught wind of it because Jake Randall messaged me. If you guys don't know who Jake Randall is, he helps people get systems. He was letting me know pre-orders were going live at like 1pm or something, my time, which prompted me to call the GameStop. Let's see here. I'm just going on their Twitter here. Pre-order to Switch OLED models starting today at 12. Okay, yeah. That would have been... That's a specific standard. So it went live at 2pm my time, I suppose. So I got warned by Jake Randall. But yeah, it looks like they didn't announce this today. So that's good. They gave us at least a warning in the AM, right? They let us know ahead of time, hey, you know, I was super busy. It would have been my lead video this morning if I had been paying attention. But I definitely want one to replay. Okay, yep. Let me see here. I didn't even think about the Switch OLED replacing the base model. I wouldn't complain if I got a pre-order for the OLED by any means, however I play it at the dock with 90% of the time. But it would want to be nice. Like, I don't have an OLED TV in my house. It's possible Switch games are going to look better on the OLED Switch than it does on any other TV in my house. Isn't that crazy? I have a decent 4K TV, but it's not even mini LED or anything like that, or QLED, right? Like, it's not OLED. It's just an LCD. It's IPS, which is nice, but it's not anything to write home about in terms in comparison to an OLED. So the 3DS XL hardware upgrade, but Switch OLED don't. So, OMAR GT. The 3DS XL did not upgrade the internal hardware. The 3DS XL only gave you a bigger screen, and then they did some changes to improve the outer hardware. It did not. 3DS XL was not more powerful than the OG 3DS. New 3DS XL. See, this is where it gets confusing. People might not even remember 3DS XL existed because they replaced 3DS XL in a year with the new 3DS XL. There was only one year where 3DS XL was even a thing, and then they stopped making it when the new 3DS XL was announced. So there was a very short time period that 3DS XL was even available, but it was not an internal hardware upgrade. It was only external, and they didn't even increase the resolution of the screen, or anything like that. The screen wasn't any better, basically. It was just bigger. So 3DS XL was not a hardware upgrade. New 3DS XL, it gets really confusing, but the new 3DS XL became the predominant selling platform. The word new is important. That was the more powerful 3DS. 3DS XL, which came out a year before it, was not more powerful. What about Amazon? What about Amazon? There was a Zoom pre-order tweet in GameSpot's website yesterday. Fire Soul said, I'm buying the Switch OLED, even though I fully expect a Pro next year, along with the price cut for OLED. I think if you're getting OLED this year, prepare for that price cut, and if you're upset about it, then you should cancel your pre-order. There's going to be a price cut on Switch OLED within a year and a half. It's going to happen. I'm telling you that now. So if you have a pre-order, and you're not cool with that, cancel your pre-order. Nintendo is taking advantage of the marketplace right now. Is it kind of a shitty thing to do? Yeah, of course it is. Well, are they going to make millions? Yeah, of course they are. So, it is what it is. If you want one this year, you're going to have to pay the premium, if you can even get it. It's probably, it might be sold out the entire year, at least in the United States. I don't know if there's going to be some cartridges, like Australia is not selling now. I don't think Australia is still sold out. Maybe I'm wrong, but last I checked, it was still available on EB Games Australia. Which, if you want to import, fine, but import fees, increase price in Australia anyways, it can cost you a fortune. You might as well pay scalper prices at that point you'll get it cheaper. Unless you live in Australia. All that will have a deeper contrast for sure. I feel like it's only worth it if it's handled. Yeah, all that's going to, the colors are going to pop and the blacks are going to be super black. It's going to be nice. In motion, games are going to look amazing. I mean, I'll have videos comparing. Literally, I'll have the light, because my son has a light. I'll have the light, the version two switch. I don't have a version one on hand. Oh, maybe I can get Eric. Eric has a version one switch. So maybe I can have all of them next to each other. And I can kind of show you like the same game across all my breath of the wild or something. Show that same game across all of them. And you can kind of look and compare and contrast color differences as best as I can show on camera. So you can be like, oh man, maybe it really is a big deal. Or maybe it's not. I can't tell you, to me, I see OLED TVs in stores and it's just the colors are popping compared to everything else. But I don't own an OLED in person. So I don't get to enjoy OLEDs every day. So maybe that actually makes OLED stand or even more to me, just because I don't get to enjoy that technology in my daily life. I have zero OLED screens, monitors, TVs, or otherwise tablets, anything in my house. So, thank you for subscribing, Jared Compton. Santiago Salas says, I do not believe that they have set up pre-orders for Amazon yet. Sure. Maybe not. What's cool about pre-orders on Amazon is you don't have to put any money down. That's why everyone loves Amazon pre-orders because even if you're waiting on a paycheck, it doesn't matter. You can pre-order on Amazon without the money. Now, if I can pull off an Amazon pre-order, I'm going to try. We'll be given one away. You guys know I do giveaways and all that. I would love to give away a Switch OLED. But I only have one pre-order right now and that's going to be for me. So, we'll see. We'll see what happens. I will attempt to get an Amazon pre-order in so I can give one away. But I can't guarantee it, of course. I wanted to get two-minute GameStop, but they told me before I came it was one per person. Sucked. Would've loved to get two. But it is what it is. I do not have a Samsung phone. iPhone 12. Which I don't think this isn't OLED. Maybe it isn't OLED now. I have no idea. I haven't kept up on iPhone specs in forever. Well, you can't really see a difference of some people's devices because they're probably not using an OLED screen so they won't see big differences. Steam Deck, because it has the same dimensions and weight if a deck. So we'll get the Steam Deck in a moment here. Same with Target. What about Target? I have not talked about the Steam Deck yet. We'll get to it in a moment here. Is it going to kill Switch? Alright. People want to know, is it AMOLED? I have no idea. I don't really pay attention to be honest. Alright, let me go through the verge. I don't really watch content on my phone much. Maybe I should watch it. Maybe I'd notice a big difference between it and my TV. But here's it. It's so hard to tell on such a small screen. And I wonder if that's the issue. Well, no, if it was Switch I could compare. You know, I could see the difference for myself in person. Whereas like on an iPhone, like I set it up next to my TV and I'm like, yeah, but like it's such a small screen, you know. Alright. So let's get to the Valve Steam Deck. Because obviously that's the big thing that was announced today was the Valve Steam Deck. So let's take a look at this article on the verge that compares it to Xbox Series X, Switch and PlayStation 5, Full Specs and all that, right? Did I switch to the right thing? I don't even know. Oh yeah, I did. Alright. So how does Valve Steam Deck compare to Nintendo Switch or Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5? Valve's surprising new Steam Deck has been officially announced, promising to let players take their whole Steam library of games on the go. But how does the handheld compare to other major consoles in the market? First off, let's look at Steam Deck Specs. It's powered by AMD APU with a quad-core 8th-thread Zen 2 CPU and AMD RDNA 2 GPU with 8 compute units. Which by the way, isn't that many? But for a handheld is a lot. It's definitely better than Switch. Alongside 16 gigabytes of DDR5 RAM. I gotta know, it's LP DDR5, there is a difference. There are three models available. One that has 64 gigabytes of EMC storage, which is basically what Switch has for $399. One with a 250-60 NVMe SSD for 529. And then the top-of-the-line model, which has a 512 gigabyte of high-speed NVMe SSD storage. So they're all using the same generation of NVMe, but it's more like, if you know anything about NVMe drives, some are faster than others. Now there is, you know, there is the whole, you can go and get like a PCIe Gen4 SSD. But that's not what's being used here. I want to be very clear about that. They're not using Gen4. The differences are in the quality of the SSD drive they're using in it, but not the generation. It's the same generation, no matter which one of the middle or the top model you get. It's just one is better than the other, because it's a higher-end NVMe SSD. Anyways, I wanted to clarify on that. So that one costs $650. While the base EMCC storage configuration could potentially mean slower game installs and load times, Val promises that there is no in-game difference in frame rates or graphics quality among the three models. Which, that's true across the board. If you could even run games off of a spinning disk drive, like a 5200 RPM drive, the games are going to run fine, for the most part. It's just load screens. You'll have longer load screens. But once you're in the game, you're not going to notice any differences. That's true basically across the board with most PC games. And EMCC, by the way, is still better than spinning disk drives. So the most obvious comparison for the Steam Deck is of course, Nintendo Switch. Particularly the upcoming OLED model, which offers a similar handheld configuration, screen size, and design. By the way, this is the device right here. Just to note, this is the device. One thing that I find a little strange about the device, I don't even mind that the D-pad's up here, because you're either using the thumbstick or you're using the D-pad. I do wonder if I'm going to accidentally, while moving this around, bump the D-pad at all. This is the included little touch pads. That's what I assume these are. They have those on the Steam controller. So I'm not surprised they're back. And I guess it just offers potential mouse controls or something like that. Because as we find out, this is a mini PC. You can load Windows, you can load Linux, et cetera. It's literally a mini PC. I'm not sure about this button location here. I feel like they should have moved this stick down, like an Xbox or Switch controller. Move the touch pad up. I feel like this is just unnatural. I feel like it's going to be weird. Here's my Xbox controller. Or wait, no, this is a Switch controller. See, I feel like this is weird, because you're going to be going like this. The control stick's basically going to be here, and you're going to go like this. I don't like that. This feels more normal. My hand naturally goes in like this. My hand doesn't go like this. That's kind of a crampy movement to me. So I'm not so sure about that button placement. I don't think that's a good button placement at all. I think for thumb comfort, they should have swapped the touch pad up here, moved the thumb stick down here. I think that would have felt like a more natural movement. Even on Sony's controllers, they bring both thumb sticks down, but it's a natural movement to move your thumb like this. Not like this. That just hurts even. I don't know. Maybe it's comfortable. Maybe I won't know until it's in my hands. I feel like that is a critical comfort mistake right there, even though it's probably more ergonomic overall to hold. I don't know about that. We'll have to see. I'm not thrilled about that. All right. So let's get what the comparison is. Both devices feature 720p touchscreen displays. So you're not getting higher resolution per se in terms of the screen's capability, but you're going to be at 720p pretty much all the time, right? It's a PC. Of the two switches, most certainly the less powerful device. It features NVIDIA's Tiger X1 chip set and an arm-based processor that's over 40 years old compared to Steam Deck's AMD 2 Zen 2 CPU and next-gen RDNA2 GPU architecture. It also appears in the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. The Steam Deck is, by the way, it's not as powerful as the Xbox Series X, by the way. They're going to make an argument here that's a little strange, but I'll talk about it in a moment. The Steam Deck also has been shown off handling games that Switch simply can't, like Control. You can play pretty much any PC game on it. And other games showcased like Jedi Fallen Order or No Man's Sky have never been available in a portable form factor before. But given the two handhelds are closest together in form factor and price, it's still worth looking at them side by side. Unlike the Switch, the Steam Deck swaps removable controllers for some additional input methods. So you see these paddles underneath. Okay. In addition to the thumbsticks, the four extra buttons on the back, by the way, they're full thumbsticks. So they have less drift issues. You can connect a pair of wireless headphones, which again, I wish you could do a Switch, but you can't. Switch does win out in battery life, not really surprising. More powerful device. 4.59 hours versus 2 to 8. Valve telling IGN that you can realistically expect four hours of Portal 2 at 720p at 6. I feel like that's a really weird, like, so if you're playing Portal 2, you can get four hours at 720p and 60 frames per second. Look, Portal 2 is a good game, but that's your barometer. Shouldn't it be something like Doom Eternal? Like, how many hours are you getting at Doom Eternal? Clearly not four. Probably only getting two, which is fine. Guys, this is a handheld PC. Okay. Switch is also much lighter, weighing at 0.93 pounds than the Steam Deck's 1.47. It's like a half pound heavier. Choosing between the 349 OLED Switch and the 399 Steam Deck will largely come down to preference. If you prefer Nintendo's level of polish and lineup of exclusive games, or Valve's rougher around the edges, but more powerful option with its extensive PC gaming library. Comparing the lineup of next-gen consoles, what is it? The GPU is markedly less powerful than even the Xbox Series S, with less than half the graphic cores of Microsoft's weakest next-gen console, which is only $300, by the way. Despite the fact that the Steam Deck uses the same Ardian into GPU architecture, it's not the same weight class. As seen in the chart below, the PlayStation 5 next-gen expert consoles win out in almost every metric on which you care to compare them. More cores, faster CPU clock rates, dramatically more compute units, faster GPU rates, and more teraflops of raw GPU power. Although that may feel like an unfair comparison, it's worth considering the Steam Deck, which ranges in price from $399 to $649, is priced more in the same ballpark as those more premium consoles, which Switch is one, it goes for $100 to $349. Obviously, PlayStation 5 starts at $399. You can kind of see a direct comparison here. The bottom line is it's more powerful than the Switch. I said on Twitter that it's about two and a half times more powerful than the Switch. Some are arguing that it's more than that because it's newer architecture. I think it doesn't really matter. I have a 2700X CPU and a 5700XT. This doesn't beat that. It's newer architecture than what I'm running, but it's not going to run games better than my PC does, right? I got a 2060 with a, I can't remember what CPU is in here. I think it's a 10, 580, whatever. It's a newer CPU, not the latest but a gem behind. This is newer generation than every PC in my house, but it's not going to beat out even my laptop. So like, what's the point of this device? And this is where, I want to talk a bit earnestly about the Steam the Steam Deck. What is the purpose of this device? Are they trying to come after Nintendo? Very similar design and concept. Console gaming on the go except it's PC gaming on the go. It's a full-on PC. You can use Windows, Linux, or SteamOS. It doesn't matter. You can use your own Steam library. You have Windows on there. You can obviously use any library you want. Well, you know, compatibility of the controllers and stuff. I have no idea. But I'm not sure that this is actually a Switch competitor. Think about it. This device isn't unique. The only scary part of this device is the price point. So these portable PCs in handheld form already exist. This isn't even a new device. We've already seen this. We've even seen this exact architecture used in new devices. I'll show you. Hold on. Hold on. Let me... Obviously, the Steam Deck is dominating headlines right now. Like this one. I'll show you guys this one. Here. Here's one to look at. So like, here's one right here. See this? Pre-sale of the Aya Neo Handheld Gaming PC. Windows 10 Founders Edition. Ryzen 5, 4500U, 16GB, 512TB, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It costs like $1,600 or whatever. Like, these things already exist. Right? Here's the Steam Deck. Okay? Here's the Steam Deck. And here's one that's already, like, out there. This one's a pre-sale, but you see it's got the buttons. It's got AMD, Ryzen. Like, these sort of devices already exist. Like, this isn't new. This is what I'm trying to tell you guys. What Valve is doing isn't new. What's new is you saw that was $1,600. $400. It does have that more consumer-friendly entry point. But it's not really going to compete with even like a mid-range gaming PC. This is basically a very low-spec gaming PC. You're going to be running. You're playing Doom Eternal. It's going to look better than on Switch. But it's not going to be like, oh my God, it looks like it runs on Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 or even on your PC or even on XCloud. XCloud games are going to look better. But there is a use case for this that I find interesting. It's going to be interesting to see if Microsoft latches onto this. Because of Game Pass, this has the potential to be basically a portable Xbox. At $400 portable Xbox, that sounds enticing. But even then, I'm not so sure that this device is competing with Switch. Because why does Switch sell? Like, if you're buying Switch OLED, you probably already have a Switch, right? And why did you buy that Switch? Did you just buy the Switch? Because it's portable? Maybe that's why you bought it. But would you buy a gaming device just because it exists? Like, okay, this device exists. Switch exists. PlayStation 5 exists. But why do we buy platforms to play games, right? So the massive advantage that Switch has is that there are games on it you can't play anywhere else. This is a handheld PC. There's nothing on it you can't play elsewhere because it's just a PC. Is there an advantage to it? Absolutely. This could be a great companion device to PC gamers. If you're someone who plays games that are right in the wheelhouse of this and you use controllers anyway, so you're not a mouse and keyboard user, you use controllers to play your games on PC, this could have some benefit to you in a portable format. It has a market. But that market I don't think is the same market as Switch. Now, there are PC gamers who own Switch, of course, and there are PC gamers that take advantage of cross-saves on certain games that are also on Switch like Doom Eternal. They do take advantage of those cross-saves and this is a better version of that for that purpose. But I don't know that they're really fundamentally in the same marketplace. This to me is just like another one of this. See this? This is a laptop. Otherwise known as a more portable PC. All Valve is offering you guys is just another form factor for a portable PC. Laptops range in prices from $200 Chromebooks to, you know, $3,000, $5,000 plus Behemoths. Like, I'm not so sure that this really is going to matter to Nintendo. It's significantly more powerful, but does that even matter? Because you're not going to be able to play Breath of the Wild 2 on it. Now, you're going to argue it's a PC. You can emulate games. Oh, absolutely you can emulate games. You're not emulating Switch games on it. Switch games already struggle to emulate on really high-end 3090, you know, 5950X PCs. Switch games are having a hard time emulating on that hardware and you're going to touch this hardware. Now, can you maybe get some Wii U games up and running? Probably, I have no idea. Now, some people wondered, can Nintendo Sue Valve? No. Nintendo doesn't own the design of Switch. Now, maybe they own, maybe there's some sort of patent with the way the Joy-Con controllers connect that Nintendo could potentially sue someone over, but these are non-detachable. This form factor is not exclusive to Switch. There were already portable PCs before Switch came out who used this form factor. Nintendo doesn't own the base form factor of Switch. They just don't. Nobody does. It's a screen with a controller attached on both sides. They don't own the rights to that. Now, they might own the rights to how the controllers connect with the detachable stuff, but they don't actually own the design, right? That's like saying, should Nintendo Sue Xbox for copying the GameCube layout? No, should Xbox Sue Nintendo for their pro controllers literally copying the Xbox layout except for changing the location of ABXY? No. It's just not going to happen. Nobody owns those exact layouts. Nintendo could release a controller with the sticks that look like a dual-sense. It won't matter. There'll be no lawsuits. So, Nintendo can't sue. I don't think they'd want to. I have a feeling that this steam deck, which is funny because I have an Elgato stream deck right here. So, it's like stream deck, steam deck. Really, you had to use the term deck. And by the way, they do have a dock for people wondering, yeah, well the big difference with Switch is you can dock it with your TV. They do sell a dock for this. You can dock it and hook it up to a monitor, a TV, whatever. You can dock this platform. But the dock is sold separately. It's not included. So, Valve's not even pretending to compete with Switch because they're not including the dock with it, right? So, I don't think that Nintendo fans need to worry about this thing overtaking anything. I think this is just another option in a marketplace that's already starting to get pretty full up on options. This is a more affordable price point. And as for do I want it to be successful, I don't really think it matters to me if it's successful. It would be curious to find out if it is. I think the big thing that's going to be telling, this thing doesn't come out until December, so I don't think it's really going to affect holiday sales, is next year does the steam deck sell so well that it appears Switch sales are hurt. That's a big unknown. But I don't think that we need to worry about this as Nintendo fans. I think it's just an option in the marketplace for PC gamers to take their PC games on the go because Switch doesn't do that. Just like this doesn't play Nintendo games, you know, Switch doesn't play PC games. So, I'm not so sure that this is really a competitor. I think this is going to kill a lot of, let me just show you a $1,600 third-party device coming out. I think Steam Pal, or Steam Pal, might kill that. But I don't think it's going to have any, I don't think it's going to even affect Switch sales. I don't think it's even trying to compete with Switch. Now, is it inspired by Switch? Maybe. Maybe. But then the other question is, will this be successful overall? I don't know. How many times has Valve tried to launch hardware like three times? None of them have ever gone well. None of them have gone well. Is this their best attempt at hardware? I guess. But even then, I just mentioned, like even the flaw of the stick and the buttons, like you can't swap that out, that's your controller. So, I don't know. I'm cautiously optimistic about this device. I think it has a lot of potential. I just don't know that it's really going to compare to Switch. I also, in checking out the specs, I don't think they're using an OLED panel. I could be wrong on that. I think it's just an IPS display. Because I've been poring over the tech specs all day and I haven't seen much on the panel it's using. But I don't think it's using an OLED panel. So, that's another thing. Colors will be more accurate on Switch. But again, it's more powerful. It's just not... I don't think it's trying to compete with Switch. I don't know. Are you guys worried? Yeah, it's LCD. So, it's not even IPS. So, are you guys even worried about Steam Pal? Are you excited for Steam Pal? I keep calling it Steam Pal. Steam Pal, to me, is a better name than Steam Deck. Anyways, Steam Deck. Sorry, Stream Deck and Steam Deck is just... I'd rather it be called Steam Pal. Anyways, are you guys excited for Steam Deck? And do you think it's going to compete with the Switch? Those are my thoughts on it, but what are your thoughts on it? Do you think it has the potential to knockout Switch? Do you think it's going to force Nintendo to upgrade the Switch sooner? I think that's what some people hope it does. Omar GT says, what about emulation? I mean, yeah. Right now, people buy Xbox Series S and emulate everything. It's like the best emulation box in the world. What about it? Emulation's going to happen. Not worried, but you may buy one. I'm not saying I don't want one. I think it's an interesting concept. I don't know. I don't know. I might pick one up just out of more big curiosity. I'm long as a new tech, but I won't come close to competing with Switch. Competition is a good... My first reaction this morning when I first heard about the news without doing the research was, hey, look, Switch has a competitor. And this is cool. Nintendo needs some competition. So they don't pull shit like the OLED overpricing. If they have competition, they'll do better. At least that's what competition is supposed to do. But I'm not sure that this is actually competition. We'll find out. I mean, maybe it does cross into the same marketplace. I don't know. I just think that people looking to buy Switch aren't going to be looking at Steam Deck as an alternative. Because you're not buying Switch. You're buying Switch to play some sort of Nintendo game, I assume. I'm not wrong. What will be interesting, this is something that's cool. If these systems end up competing against each other, wouldn't it be interesting to see what happens when the next-gen Switch comes out? Because they're using completely different technology, right? One's using ARM CPUs with NVIDIA GPU tech. And I think NVIDIA owns ARM now. And one's using AMD all the way. This is like another... PC around those all about this red versus blue. This is basically, you know, and red versus green. Because obviously AMD has GPUs versus NVIDIA. This would be like that all over again. But in the hand. Wouldn't that be crazy? Because even NVIDIA is going to be like, oh man, we got to push Nintendo to get the Oran base Switch out or something like that. Like, we got to push them, we got to compete. I think it would be funny if they start competing with each other like that. The thing is, Nintendo, it's not going to happen because Nintendo doesn't care as much about power. But like, it would be hilarious to see them just going at each other because NVIDIA wants to be like, oh, you're in the mobile space now? With Steam? Yeah. We're with Nintendo. We have the better games. We're going to do this much better games to subject. There's great games on PC. But it would be kind of cool to see like, the red versus green all over again. But in the handheld space and Nintendo is on one side of that. It would be, for me, it's like a tech enthusiast. Like, that to me is really exciting. I don't think it's going to happen because I don't think Nintendo cares enough to get involved in something like that. But I think it would be kind of cool if that did end up happening. Because I love it in the PC space. I love the competition. Once Ryzen came in, yeah, I'm using Ryzen now. I love that Intel and Ryzen. I don't know, like, AMD and Intel just going at it. I love that AMD is making competitive GPUs with NVIDIA. Yeah, NVIDIA still has the best of the best. But for, you know, the 3070, 3080, dude, 6700, 6800 XTs, those are right there competitive price to performance. Like, they're competing with the most popular GPUs. That's insane. Like, there's so much competition in the PC space, it would be kind of cool to see the technology competition come to the mobile space. It's been Nintendo and then a bunch of people trying to shove laptops into portable devices for a while. Not necessarily the same thing as what Steampowl is trying to do. Steampowl, see? Steampowl! Call it Steampowl! I think Steampowl is probably a thing. Steamedek! Am I ever going to get used to calling it Steamedek? I'm probably just going to call it a stream deck moving forward, even though I know stream decks I think by Elgato. Hey, YouTube didn't give you notifications. Yeah, that happens. NVIDIA has the Nintendo exclusives with the Switch 2. Nintendo already sold 80 million units. Probably more than that. It's probably close to 100 million at this point. You're not wrong. I got Switch mainly for Nintendo games. Yeah, like, here's the thing. There's going to be people, oh, I play a bunch of indie games on Switch. I play a bunch of third-party games. So do I. But is that really why you bought the Switch or did you just say, hey, I knew the Switch could do that. But I bought it so I could play Breath of the Wild. I bought it so I could play Mario Odyssey, Splatoon, Smash, etc. Like, yeah, it's cool it can do that stuff. And you absolutely take advantage of it. And maybe you play more indie games on this thing than anything else. But did you really buy Switch for the indie games? Or did you buy it for something else Nintendo related? And then it happened to have all the great indie games. So it's like, you know, I'm not saying there aren't multiple reasons people play Soiches, but what initially got you to buy a Switch? Was it really the third-party games? Was it really the indie games? Or was it something Nintendo was putting out? Or, you know, a third-party, like maybe Monster Hunter Rise. Like a third-party exclusive game. Temporary exclusive, it's going to be on PC. Console exclusive, I guess. But now with Steam Deck, if it's on PC, is it console exclusive? Is this a console? Do we call this a console? Is this a handheld console? Or are we just going to call it a handheld PC? I don't know. Weird, right? It looks like a handheld console. It feels like a handheld console. But it's really just a PC. What a weird world we're living in right now. It's crazy. If you're a regular person who don't collect and already have a Switch, will you buy the Switch OLED or the stream? Okay, if you're a regular person who doesn't collect things and you already have a Switch, would you buy the Switch OLED or the Steam Deck? That's a good question. If I wasn't a YouTuber and didn't have to worry about all this stuff, would I spend my money on Switch OLED on a Steam Deck instead? But I'm not a normal consumer because I have every gaming platform. I think if you're not heavily invested in PC gaming, do you pick this up? Maybe that's a selling point. If you're not heavily invested in PC gaming, but this is all the PC games, would this make you want to invest in PC gaming? Does this make PC gaming even more accessible? That's a good question. Would I want to buy this over a Switch OLED if I already had a Switch, which I do, and I was a normal consumer that it wasn't worrying about covering Nintendo stuff? Um... I don't know. Because I have a gaming PC and a gaming laptop, do I need another PC gaming device? Just because it's a different form factor, do I really need it? It's not going to play games as well as my other devices. So do I really need it? For me, it's like the same situation as owning a Switch. Do I really need a Switch OLED? No. Do I really need another gaming PC capable device? No. And I'm still going to prefer to play on my... I don't know. But the idea is for the situations that it would be nice. At an airport, you can play games on your laptop at an airport, and you can play PC games on this. Well, yeah. So I don't know. Like on a plane? Yeah, you can absolutely, you know, if you're okay with touch pads or controllers, absolutely play PC games on a plane, but then... I don't know. It's an interesting situation and I don't know that I would buy it either way. Like, if I buy it now, it's because I'm just curious. Well, it's not because I think I'm actually going to use it. But I'm not sure if I buy it. I'm basically going to do like a little review. I'll do some cross comparisons with Switch and Switch OLED. And then I'll probably just give it away if I bought one. I don't think I'd be buying it for the purposes of keeping it. Does that make sense? And I'm sure someone's going to want it, even, you know, slightly use. Someone's going to want it for me, because it's free. Who wouldn't want a free $400 device? Because I don't think I'd invest more in that. Don't think I'd go for the big boy versions. Because it does, by the way, it does include a microSD slot. You can expand the storage just like you can on Switch. So if I was a normal consumer and I already owned a Switch, would I buy either platform? I already own a gaming PC, so I don't know that I'm really interested in this product. And would I get an OLED Switch anyways? Under normal circumstances, I'd probably still get the Switch OLED. I'm just thinking back on what I used to do before I had to worry about owning all the platforms. I'd probably still get the Switch OLED, but it would be different. I would trade in my Switch towards a Switch OLED. So I'd trade in my Switch to get maximum value, which I think I can get $150 to $200. I might be able to sell it locally for $250 if I include a game with it or something. And that would pay for most of it. So under normal circumstances, I might get the Switch OLED anyways, but I would just trade in my Switch towards it. I'm not going to trade in my PC or PC parts towards this for something that's worse than what I have. That doesn't make any sense to me. I'd be downgrading for portable gaming that I could do on my laptop. I feel like I've been PC gaming so long where when you want a portable game you use a laptop that... I don't know. Plus, you know, mouse and keyboard, you got to get the dock out to use mouse and keyboard, which to me is the preferred way to play a lot of games. Obviously there's plenty of games on PC that work fine with a controller, but I play use mouse and keyboard. I mean, there's something to say that oh, you could play World of Warcraft on there, which is kind of cool, but again, I'd hook it up to a mouse and keyboard. So I just don't know, man. It's not really for me. I'm trying to think like I've been PC gaming almost as long as I've been Nintendo gaming. And to me, I just don't have an appeal for this. I'm trying to understand who would want this. Literally somebody, because they've been making these super expensive ones for a while. But I don't know. I don't know. I don't know who would want it. I'm a PC gamer and I'm not so sure that I really care about this thing. Care about my game. When I PC game, I like the customization and I like being able to take advantage of my hardware. And this is a downgrade compared to everything I have. But it's portable. More portable than my laptop. The affordability worth me not enjoying my 1080p 144Hz FreeSync monitor or my 4K 60 laptop. Is it worth all that sacrifices just to play at 720p on the go? I could justify 720p from Nintendo because there's games I can't get anywhere else. From PC, I haven't gamed at 720p on PC in the 90s. So I just, I don't know. I'm not so sure that this really, the more I talk about it, the more I'm just not interested in this product. But I don't want to feel like I'm shilling for Nintendo. I love PC gaming. This feels like the anti-PC gaming system. It's like trying to make PC gaming a switch, but I'm not really interested in PC gaming that way. But maybe there's going to be people that are. We have another Super Chat. I'll make you the African Triforce for the $5. He says, when did going for power actually help Nintendo? They tried that with the N64 and the Gamecube, it didn't work. So they just focused on games. You can have both, by the way. No one's saying, I want to be clear here, no one's saying you can't have power and games. Who said Nintendo couldn't have a powerful platform and focus on games? They can do both. Both can be true. They definitely focused on games in the N64 and Gamecube era. It's not like they didn't make games. So, it's... Other people do things better. And Nintendo realized that, so they decided we really can't do what they're doing. Let's focus on what we do good. We innovate and we do handheld gaming really, really well. So, I don't know. Maybe that's just me. Big reminder, we do have some new stuff tonight. We got some UV-Rab, but this is only for $10 and up Super Chat. And this is the Danger Zone. But the Gold Slogger at 43.5% alcohol. That only comes up for $20 and up Super Chat. And if we somehow get to $100 total, the tequila comes out. Or as I call it, tequila. But thank you so much for the support. I do appreciate the five dollars. Cheers. I think my boyfriend would, since he travels a lot, he's in the National Guard. He has a ton of activations. You may have to deal with military. Maybe I could see, I suppose. Plus, it's really tiny. You know, smaller than a laptop. You traded your Switch Lite for the OLED today? Sacrificed one child for another child? I mean, dude. I mean, Switch OLED is a great upgrade if you have a Switch Lite. I think it's... It's going to feel like a whole new system to you. Going from a Switch Lite. Nintendo does what it does. I mean, I don't know. I don't want to... I know that my channel is called Nintendo Prime and I have an affinity for Nintendo and obviously I have a bias for Zelda massively. I don't know. I'm a huge PC gamer. I literally was just playing games on my laptop in my bed the other day. And I guess in that situation, I would have rather played this. I don't like playing my laptop in my bed. I don't like playing games. One, I got vents down here where the fans suck in the air and then blow it out the sides and the back. If I set it on my sheet, I can't do that, right? I just can't. I have to grab like a... I have this little... God, what is it? This little basket that has a lid on it. I take that lid off and I set it on my bed then I set my laptop on there. It's still not like when you're sitting in bed and you're doing mouse and keyboard, it's still not that comfortable. And oh, baby! Here we go! It says, let's break omen. That golden goodness. You want to get dangerous tonight. 43.5% alcohol. Let's do it. You know what sound... Hold on. Is this going to crash things? I got to fix my sound. I can't hear like any of my sounds. I want to see if I can fix this. Not this. Where is it? That's what I want. I can't hear any of my voice mod stuff. I need to change... No, I want that coming out on... No, not that. Is the LG not showing up? Of course the LG is not showing up. I can't have it come out through there. Damn. I don't think there's any way for me to do it. Without crashing voice mod. Which I guess while I pour gold shogger here I can crash voice mod quick. Because voice mod will come back when I reboot voice mod. I guess I can just kill my audio for a brief moment. Let me do this. I'm going to reload voice mod here. Audio will just be dead for a moment. I'm going to pour my shot here while voice mod reloads. Just so I can change the audio output. So I can actually hear things. That would be great. Yeah! We're back. Where's my voice mod? Let me see if I can give voice mods audio output to work here. I want to set it to the LG 1, 2, testing. I just don't want to hear myself. But if I do this now Yeah! There we go. Now I can hear what's going on. Perfect. That's what I wanted to do. We're good. We're all good now. We're all good in the hood. Let me get the sound. I wanted to spin this around. If you don't know what gold shogger is, you're supposed to spin it around. The gold gets in here. We've got a couple gold flakes. Man, I haven't done gold shogger in a while. It's funny. What? It's why I love mobiles. You can just buy a cheap grip on the phone. Okay. I guess it's Q&A time. Q&A time, folks. If you have any questions for me, whether it's about Switch OLED, about things about the Steam Deck, or whatever other news and gaming you want to go with, Skyward Sword HD comes out tomorrow. We can talk about that. At me in the chat, ask your question. Obviously, if you do Super Chat or donate your question, jump to the top of the pile. Let me get this down quick. I was just bringing up the latest news here, too, as well. A lot of Skyward Sword HD stuff coming in because some of the embargoes are over, so there's guides coming out. Which, I mean, if you played Skyward Sword, pretty much the same thing. But cheers. Gold shogger will put some hair on your chest. Woo! Oh, boy. I got the flakes out of there, right? Oh, yeah, of course I did. Oh, baby, I'm worth more in the moment than I was worth ten seconds ago. Yeah, baby. Um... Less than two hours until you can play it. Nice. Who are...um... When are you doing your Zelda stream tomorrow? Loki, Raven, Star Mask. Uh, so... This stream will probably be happening at the usual time. Uh, so I'm looking at about 8 p.m. Central time. I thought about doing it during the day, but reality is I got work and my kids and everything else, so I won't be doing it during the day. Um, but I gotta check my bank here quick to make sure I can even pick up the game tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to pick up the game tomorrow. Just gotta always, always check the funds and see where things are sitting at. Oh, yeah, what will we find? I'll be able to pick up the game tomorrow. Um, so we're all good on that front. I'll be picking up the game tomorrow. Uh, it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun. Also, we hit $50 in Super Chat revenue tonight. Of course, you know. Stranger things have happened. Um, let me see here. We got any...got some more questions in here. Um, Gold Shlager, I already have... Wait, who said something about Gold Shlager? Um... Gold Shlager, I already have a hairy chest. Nice. Yeah dude, Gold Shlager does put some... string...what? What? Wait! Sorry, that's Nintendo Prime. He doesn't get party mode. Stranger things do happen, Nate. Mr. Pumpkin? Get over here. Come join the stream a little bit more, Mr. Pumpkin. How you doing, man? You have anything to do with this Nintendo Prime fellow? Huh? Huh? It's not Halloween, you know. I'm watching you. So whatever. We'll get a little shoddy in here for Nintendo Prime. Thank you so much, man, for the $5. I don't know why you're not just enjoying your multiple babes. I heard you sent your yacht to pick up some chicks from Miami. Dude, Nintendo Prime is rich as hell, dude. I wish he'd send me some of his money. God, I could use a new house. This house is a piece of shit. I should complain. It's a nice house compared to what a lot of people's other living situations are, but... It's a fixer-upper that we're not fixing up. Cheers. We have just made it... livable. Sort of. Livable means having birds with nests in your walls. Like, all over the place. If that's livable. To some of you. Alexis Aho says, cover in the Zelda livestream tomorrow. I plan on attending regardless. Curious, I'm sure you mentioned it earlier. What am I going to cover? I'm playing a game. I'm playing Skyward Sword HD. Probably do motion controls, try out button controls, see if I get used to it or not. Probably end up back with motion controls, because I probably prefer it. But yeah. I'll be probably getting through the tutorial, getting to the first zone, I hope. I think. Maybe. We'll see. Um... Guys, is it me or is he overdrunk? I'm not even buzzing, overdrunk. I've had one real shot tonight. Granted, it was a culture logger, but... At least you have a house. Yep. I might want to complain about my situation. Like that. As I said, we want a new house. But it's not like I'm unappreciative of the house I have. This is a decent place. A big backyard, which is great for kids. It's just... I grew up differently than a lot of people. Um... Because I grew up in rural Wisconsin, right? Everyone has big houses in Wisconsin. Like, everyone, everyone has yards in Wisconsin. Unless you live in Milwaukee. Like, everyone has yards. Everyone has big houses. So I grew up differently than other people. I've lived in other places, and I've seen that, life isn't like it is here to there. But like... Life is just different when you live in a place like Wisconsin. But on the other side of it, we deal with winter, and we deal with it for like six months. We can have six months of snow and shoveling, and really hard to drive in garbage. But we also get sledding and snowmobiling and ice fishing. You know, so I don't know. Oh! The Taker 610 sends me the two dollars again! Thank you so much, friends. Since no podcast this week, jump on Andres On The Sun. Oh! Andres Pog. Andres Restart's podcast on Sunday. Um... Weekends? Andres Restart knows this. I did go on his podcast once. Um, Andres Restart knows this. Uh, my weekends are family time. You notice, I don't usually post videos on weekends. I mean, sometimes I do. But that might be it. I might have took an hour out of my day, made a quick video, and then that's all you get. Um... I did do a weekend stream like two months ago, and it actually did really well. I had like 400 people watching. It was crazy. Uh, but I don't... I just... I know that's when a lot of people have their free time. That's my family time. That's me and Yulia, me and the kids. Um... Speaking of that... This is happening really damn soon. I just realized... Not this weekend, but next weekend, I'm leaving on the 24th. June... or July 24th. Sorry, June. God, July 24th. I'm leaving. Uh, we're driving over to my sister's house in Minnesota. We're spending the night there. My kids too. And then we are flying out on the 25th. In the morning to Miami. Miami, Florida, and we're going on a cruise. Uh, we don't leave on Sunday. Uh, we fly to Miami on Sunday. Stay at a hotel. Uh, then on Monday, get on the cruise ship. And then we're on a cruise all the way through Friday. We get back off the cruise. Spend another night in Miami. And then come back on the 31st. Uh, my fiance has informed me that I will not be pre-making videos like I planned. I originally was going to pre-make videos. Um... She told me no. Apparently one night on a E3 live stream I promised to stream while I'm on my cruise. Didn't know that. I do have the best internet package on the cruise. Um, it's like a video chat with my kids. But, um, but yeah. It's... Apparently I'll be making videos while I'm on the cruise. Don't know how that's going to happen. I'm on vacation. But it's going to be a weird vacation. That's not a vacation. It still is a vacation. Here's why it's still going to be considered a vacation. I don't have kids for a week. Because we're flying out at like six in the morning. So, don't have kids for a week. And... I don't have my normal job for a week either. Nor does Yulia. Now, just because we'll still be doing YouTube a little bit. Just a smidge. Not much. Maybe an hour or two out of every day will be spent doing this. Maybe we'll stream. At least one time. Maybe multiple. Um, but we're not... we're... we're cruising. We're on vacation. But she told me, my fiancee, bless her soul, is like you're bringing your laptop. You're bringing your microphone. You're bringing maybe even a camera. We'll see about that. Technically I have a cam link. I can hook up my camera to my laptop. So, we'll see if that happens. We'll see if we bring this camera with. We'll see. I don't want to guarantee that. But she wants a high quality camera. I'll probably end up bringing the camera. But... We'll see. Anyways, so, look forward to that. I guess we'll still be making content while on the cruise. So if I look sunburned, if I'm wearing some weird clothes, not my usual get up, I'm just in a swimsuit, and like a Hawaiian shirt or something, because I'm in the Bahamas, heck, I'm getting used to it. I'm getting used to it. Don't think I forgot about you, oaky raven store. It's a fine... $5. $5 foot long. Dude, they haven't been the $5 foot long in a long time. Helping it gets strange. I mean, you're just helping me do Red's Wicked Apple. If you want real liquor, here's what's funny. My fiance is Russian, right? Her grandmother is obviously Russian. She's pure Russian. No mix, no mutt. She was adopted, but she's pure Russian. Her, like, birthright grandmother is like, look, you're drinking beer, right? What am I drinking? Red's Wicked Apple, 8% alcohol. You know what they call this in Russia? Soda. They consider this a pop. That you just casually drink. Now, look, as of 2011, it's now, it's considered a booze product. Officially in Russia, it's considered booze. But to this day, this is, this is pop. This is a soda pop. This isn't considered alcohol. You're basically drinking piss water to them. If it ain't vodka, ain't something more, you know, hardcore than vodka, this is just piss water to them. Isn't that crazy? So, yeah, to get me to the real shit, 10 bucks. Let me bust out the vodka. Granted, it's UV cherry, and she'd probably call me a pussy for having to be UV cherry, not just pure vodka, but... You know what? I'm not Russian. Damn it. But yeah. Russians are a bit crazy with that shit. Soda. Yeah, dude. When I'm like, oh yeah, Miller Lite, she goes, you mean water? What's the alcohol on that? I don't know, 4.2? 5.5? I can't remember. I think normal Miller is 5.5. I think this is 4.2. And she goes, oh, so water. So this is water. This at 8% is soda. They don't consider anything under 20% to be booze. Let's just say Russians can drink. I mean, yes, my fiance can drink. She can't out-drink me. I've got some German in me. It enables me to drink quite a bit. But my fiance is a shot master. She can do like 18 shots of vodka in a night when we're partying. It's insane. She is... But isn't that crazy? It feels like you're such a pussy. Stop drinking that shit. Get some vodka in your glass. Omar GT says, I've never drank alcohol. I fixed your English there. I don't think I ever will. Yeah. It's not for everyone. So my dad had a drinking issue. I know I can get too deep into it, but he had an issue with booze and how he behaved while he drank it. I don't have fond memories of my high school graduation. There was a party. I didn't get to enjoy the party. And my mom definitely does not enjoy my dad when he's on booze. So I was worried when I turned 21 and I actually got buzzed slash drunk for my first time. Because I had tried booze before I was 21. But I never really... It was like a sip of beer. And I'm like, ugh, this is gross. My parents bought me a 1.75 of UV blue. So this is UV red. They bought me a giant 1.75 of UV blue. And then they bought me a 24 pack of Mountain Dew. And they said, hey, mix them. Which is weird. I think UV red and Mountain Dew is a better mix than UV blue and Mountain Dew. But whatever. They bought me a 24 pack of Mountain Dew and a 1.75. And I spent the night at their house on my birthday. Because my birthday is July 5th. For those that don't know. Celebration. Usually we end up having a small party on the same day. Get the family together. My dad does a bunch of fireworks. Didn't happen this year. Didn't really have a birthday party this year. But yes, I know, Saturday. I literally didn't celebrate my birthday this year. And this is what it is. At least with family. So... On my 21st birthday it was really a day before I turned 21. They gave me that booze and they said, but you can't drink it until midnight. And I'm like, okay. I mean... Although in Wisconsin, I think in Wisconsin at the time, if your parents let you drink, you could drink. Wisconsin was weird. For a long time, it didn't matter what age you were. You could go with your parents to the bar and be under 21. Be under 18 even. And have a drink if your parents allow you to have it. That was a law in Wisconsin for a long time. You could be like 8 years old at the bar. If your parent is there and you could be drinking if your parent lets you drink. That's the way Wisconsin was for a long time. They changed that like a decade ago. But anyways. So my parents, they couldn't drink until midnight. So I stayed up till midnight. Which whatever. I'm freaking 2021. What the hell is staying up till midnight? I stayed up till midnight still. So it's like, oh man, midnight. Big deal. So I stayed up till midnight. And then I drank the entire 1.75 and the entire 24 bag of Mountain Dew over the next three hours. Just making mixed drinks like a motherfucker. What I would do is I would drink down like half of a Mountain Dew. I had no idea about it. My parents did not tell me. I didn't know anything about drinking. They didn't tell me the ratio that it should be like a shot. And if you get two shots it's a double. They didn't tell me that. They didn't tell me what the ratio of booze to alcohol was. Maybe they just assumed I knew. Maybe they assumed I partied more in high school than I really did. So I would open a Mountain Dew. Slam half of it. I literally measure down to half. Fill it to the top with UV blue. And then I would drink that. And I played I played video games. I was by myself. I was by myself. And I played video games. Of course. Of course I played video games. I'm by myself. What the hell else am I going to do? I guess I could have masturbated. What fun is that? So, I played The Wind Waker. I swear to Christ I started a new save file at midnight. I beat the game by 6 a.m. Now, 6 hours, right? Some people be like, I can speed run. I can speed run The Wind Waker faster than 6 hours. Fine. Do it while being completely smashed and blacked out. I literally beat Wind Waker off memory while being blacked out. Didn't even know what a blackout was. I drank the entire 1.75 and the entire 24 pack of Mountain Dew with half and half mix. Obviously drinking half the Mountain Dew and then half and half mix. Now, maybe by the end it was like a whole can I don't know what I ran out of first or maybe I ran out at the same time. But, I beat the Here's the funny thing. I went 100% in Wind Waker. I want to be honest with you guys. I have never 100% of dissolved the game before. I've gotten close. But I've never 100% and I've never cared to 100%. When I woke up I had my laptop from school because I was in college at the time. My laptop was open with walkthroughs on it for side quests in the Wind Waker. I completed. I want you to understand this. I don't remember doing any of this. I was drunk out of my mind by myself in my old bedroom of my parents' house because I didn't live with my parents but they said if you're going to drink stay here don't drink and drive. Of course, I stayed there. Drunk out of my mind I completed the Tingle Tuner questline in the Wind Waker. I 100% of the game in 6 hours. Is that even possible? I don't know but I did it. In 6 hours, 100% of the Wind Waker including that I dug out my old GBA which was in my old bedroom at the house in a drawer. I dug it out and 100% of the Wind Waker. What the fuck? I don't even know how do you explain that? 6 hours. 1.75 of UV Blue Gone A lot of sugar obviously. I mean, shitload of sugar. That's why I was still awake. So much sugar because there's sugar in the UV and there's sugar in the Mountain Dew plus the caffeine. I'm not going to say I've never done 24 pack of Mountain Dew in a night before. I mean, God, I've done LAN parties. I get it. Caffeine up. That's when I was young. I can't do that now. But like, it was so much sugar. I must have been on a sugar high hardcore. I don't know. I don't remember most of it. Last thing I remember doing was Dragon Roost Island. That's not that far into the game. The last thing I remember is Dragon Roost Island. Here I am at the end. 100% complete tingle tune request done. What the fuck? Right? And that's why sometimes when I do games like tomorrow night when we do the Skyward Sword you think I'm good at Skyward Sword or you might think I'm good at Skyward Sword at the beginning of the stream. If you're buzzing, then see what happens because I want to know. Am I a better gamer when I drink? I have no idea. But after that night, and the thing is I didn't even wake up with a hangover. That was the crazy thing. You drink a 1.75 of anything and you don't wake up with a hangover. That was weird. Um... Did I drink? I have drank. Am I buzzing? No. I just thought that was a cool story related. It's a gaming story. The first time I got really hammered and blacked out I also had one of my most epic gamer moments that I don't remember. I just woke up the next day and I'm at the Ganondorf fight so I beat the Ganondorf fight quick and I'm like okay cool. Then I go back and I'm like I did everything in this game. I have everything. I did everything. There's not a single quest I have not completed and I started a new save file. How did that happen? What determination did I have by myself in like what conversations happened with myself? Because I know I talked to myself at some point. Maybe I got on like AIM Messenger or something at the time and was like hey, was that even a thing then? I don't think that was a thing then. Maybe we were moved on at that point. Maybe it was all Skype at that point. Because Skype was the big thing for a while. So maybe there were Skype conversations. Because I had some Skype calls on there. I'm sure I talked to some of my fellow Zelda fans and I was probably like hey, how do I do this? I don't remember spending many school nights playing Wind Waker and beating it 100%. Treasure hunting, nice. Any word on E3 giveaways? What's up, JM? How's it going? Yes. Yes. Everything for the E3 giveaways will be taken care of by the end of the month. I'm well aware SSRCR85 says you drink a 1.75 anything that alcohol poisons you. So that is true I think for most people. I'm not going to sit here and deny that. That is true for most people. You could drink a 1.75 or rum chada and maybe not. It's such a low alcohol volume. Hey, thank you. TriKlyte Tamer. You're not a new member. So we're not going to do the whole new member to the board. But you have now been a member for two months in a row. Awesome. At the leader rank. Thank you so much. TriKlyte Tamer. Thank you for being a re-up in your membership. I appreciate that. I got a question to ask. If pre-ordered at Best Buy, if it was yellow, will it go in your cart when I try to pre-order it? That I don't know about. I pre-ordered in person. I pre-ordered at GameStop. Funny, someone was trying to argue with me today that Best Buy doesn't take in-person pre-orders. Um, I hate to tell them I got my version 2 Switch as a pre-order at Best Buy. I know, I used to work at Best Buy. They take in-person pre-orders. So does Walmart. I don't know if Walmart was doing it for Switch OLED, but a lot of these retailers do take in-person pre-orders. You just have to ask. But you have to ask the right employee, not every employee knows about it. You have to find the right employee in the right section of the store because even like the cashiers, they don't know about it. What are you talking about? We don't do pre-orders. They don't do it at the register. But yeah, they take pre-orders at Best Buy. In-person. Um, but yeah, I can handle a lot of alcohol. A lot. Now, Goldschlager, obviously this is really, really high alcohol content. I've only done one, so let's see here. I don't know if it's worth it for me to get an OLED. It probably isn't. If you don't think it's worth it, then don't get it. Save your money. Um, I got a question to ask if you pre-order at Best Buy. Oh yeah, I already read that one. Um, see if there are some other questions I missed in here. Did you celebrate Loki's donation? Did I miss a Loki donation? Let me scroll up here. If I missed the donation, I apologize. I had some subscribers in there. Oh yeah, yeah, no, no, I helped. Yeah, we're good on Loki. Helping to get strange. Yeah, we did that one earlier. Dude, we have 147 likes and I thank you guys so much. If you haven't liked the stream, as Reggie says, what's wrong with you? Let's go. Let's get to 150. I'm sure there's at least three people watching right now that haven't liked the stream. Um, if it's, is it honestly worth getting an OLED if you have an OG switch? Probably not. Now, if you play primarily in handheld, there's an argument to be made that, hey, you know, what that OLED panel, if you could trade in your switch, get a good value for it. I'll spend like a hundred bucks and get it. It might be worth it. Um, but I mean, I don't have, here's the thing. I don't own the system. I have a pre-order. I don't have it on hand. I haven't seen it in person. So that's a good question. I can't answer till I have it. And I'm probably going to make a review or at least an impression video on it. Hey, switch OLED actually worth it. And I'm going to, you know, tell you my impressions of it. Because I don't know. Right now, it's easier for me to be like, oh, it's just a new screen. Who cares? But also, dude, if I, I mean, how impressed am I going to be? Maybe I am super impressed and I'm like, God damn, why the fuck wasn't there an OLED in the first place? That might be my thought. It might be like God, everyone should just get the OLED because it's that much better. I have no idea. So we need to wait and see. I can't tell you if it's worth it until I own it. And it's not here till October 8th. But I'll tell you this, it's not a necessary upgrade. It's just a new screen, a new kickstand, ethernet port. It's not necessary. Now, if you have a switch light, you can argue, okay, this might be a nice bump for a switch light, because it's a significantly bigger screen for it to switch light. But yeah. Going from a version one or version two switch to this. Not really sure. Switch light upgrading, I could see it. Again, because it's a much bigger upgrade for switch light owners than it is OG switch owners. Not spec wise, but just, dude, that's a lot of extra screen real estate. A lot of extra, compared to switch light. Switch light is tiny. You want the ethernet dock. You can buy the ethernet dock separately. It's $100. It should be a surprise. Wasn't the original dock like 90 at one point. Yeah, they're going to charge you more. The black and white contrast of the Metro game with the black and white switches. Yeah, dude. That white switch with the white dock, and then you have the white joy cons of the black switch and the black, and then Metroid Dread. Like, dude. They're like a match made in heaven. How badly is the switch OLED being sculpted right now? I did this earlier today. We can take another look at it. Let me refresh here. All right. So it's still at the same prices as before, but if you weren't here earlier, it's not like I've heard to take a look. So here you go. Switch OLED, so you got $599, $25, $500, $600, $500. You can easily get them between like $580 and $600. Here's one at $500. So you can get them down there a little bit. But that's still, you know, significantly over MSRP. This guy wants $1,200. He's not getting $1,200. Plus $5 shipping. $1,200, plus 5... Bro! $1,200! Now look, I get when like PlayStation 5 was selling for that. I get it. Switch OLED... If anybody spends $1,200 on the second hand market for switch OLED, you're a dumbass. I'm sorry, if that switch sells, you're a dumbass. And just unsubscribe from my channel. If you're a person that's about to drop $1,200 on a switch OLED on eBay, get the fuck off my channel. I'm not even... Don't be dumb! Don't be stupid, stupid! I don't think anyone's actually spending that when there's so many cheaper ones, but it's like Jesus. People are trying to sanderize the 650? Nah, that's not going to happen. I don't think any of these are selling right now. I can't imagine any of these have sold yet. So it looks like it looks like you can get it for around $500 at the cheapest. This guy wants $3,000! $3,000! $3,000! $3,000! $3,000! $3,000! I want to know what drugs this seller is doing. Let me cook on this. What drugs is this seller doing? And he says, confirm pre-order. So let's see, he's got it from Target. Okay, good on him. Got it from Target. Starting bid, $1,300! So you can buy it now for $3,000 or you can bid for $1,300! This person is banking on the prices going up and his price being cheap. Why? Why? If you own a switch don't pay scalper prices. Just wait till it's in stock. Jeez, that's bad. I don't I don't understand why some people are this way. Like, what kind of piece of do you have to be for that? Fuck! I can go scalp one for $3,000! I'll just buy it from another scalper and make $2,400 profit! Jesus! Let me re-scalp a scalper switch. $3,000, no problem. I know when he wants $15 in shipping granted when you're spending $3,000 on something it's $15 in shipping even matter but it's kind of like, dude you're charging $15 in shipping on something like... if somebody legitimately does buy it now for $3,000 $2,999 $0.99 you can't ship that for free you can't take $15 out of your profit margin you can't ship that for free Jesus fucking Christ especially when I know for a fat noit no target was one of the ones where they had to ship it to my house and I had to ship it out from there there are some retailers where you pre-order and you can change the shipping address so like it'll be shipped directly from target like to the person's house so it doesn't even cost the... God... so dumb if Skyward Sword is as good as people say if Skyward Sword is great it's the best Zelda movie of all time it's like 5 plus hours of cutscenes Steam Deck maybe? like this maybe? you could sign up to pre-order tomorrow you can't actually pre-order yet there's a list you could sign up for to pre-order tomorrow but you can't actually pre-order tomorrow I'm gonna sign up on the list I don't know if I'm gonna actually ever pre-order it but if they offer me the pre-order and I don't have to put all the money down right away maybe I'll take it, we'll see I'll not model the pre-orders cause it's like a lay-away almost you pay it off over time or you just pay it off when you get it I like that it's just easier to manage all of us think we'll just budget 50 bucks a month or 50 bucks a year I get it you could do that but to get the pre-order in right away and then do that and then just go and pay it off I like what GameStop does GameStop is like $50 down and then you can just pay it off over time all the other retail outlets want you to just have the money ready right away they want to charge you right away um oh that's such better have a golden Korok Poo better include golden Korok Poo there better be like literal Korok Poo that's been spray painted gold better be included for $3,000 and it better be like encased to protect it to maintain value a 3k switch better be made of gold like dude $3,000 for a switch that isn't now look I could get why someone, because you gotta remember $3,000 is the buyout price you can just get it for $1,300 no one's gonna outbid you you could just bid $1,300 and probably win the bid it's a six day bid you could probably just win the bid at $1,300 but here's the thing there was a switch pro with like double the power of the current switch right? say it's twice as powerful I could see maybe that going for insane I could see like a few of those selling at $1,000 I could see $1,000 top end for like a switch pro say a switch pro comes out and it's $3,99 I could see it like resale value on the open market being $1,000 especially at launch but this that's not what this is don't pay $1,300 for an OLED screen what's wrong with you just buy an OLED screen and modify your switch and replace it yourself Jesus Christ granted that might not work perfectly with the board that's included with your switch might not have enough power coming off that board to run that panel am I going to stream Skyward Sword HD yep tomorrow at 8pm central time I will be streaming Skyward Sword HD will the new switch model think the switch will reach 100 million units it was going to hit 100 million without switch OLED it might already be at 100 million so we don't know yet we'll find out we'll find out in August I believe so next month we'll find out updated numbers for switch I was trying to do the math on when they do their investors meetings pretty sure in August we'll have an update maybe in September I don't know coming up here we'll have an update and we'll see what it said there's a lot wrong with someone that they pay $13 I mean I could say this if you're like I don't know Bill Gates kid right and Bill Gates has a massive trust fund for you of you know billions of dollars like dude you pick crud out of your toenails with $1300 $1300 to you is like a penny found on the street somebody else so like I could be like oh yeah they're just they just literally type in switch OLED because they couldn't get a preorder and they're like oh it's $1300 whatever buy it now like it's the richest of the rich that are just that dumb and just don't care but like nothing dude I wiped my ass with a mill who cares about $1300 there's gonna be the richest of the rich that just don't give a shit so some kid of a rich parent this is I got so much money who gives a shit Amazon shipped your car yeah well Amazon tries to get it to you they try they often fail they try to get it to you the day of release so they'll ship it like the day before two days before to try to get it to you what happens sometimes you end up getting the copy early some people end up like they order from Amazon it'll arrive like the day before sometimes Amazon is attempting to get you your copy on the day of release sometimes it's later especially on weekends it'll like not arrive until Monday other times it arrives the same day it'll sometimes arrive early that's the joy of Amazon it's coming to crap shoot you're either gonna get the game early on time or late you don't know when depends on what where house they're shipping from you don't get rich by spending dumb you get rich by being a penny fincher or you get rich as I said my scenario it was a hypothetical you're one of Bill Gates kids and you have a trust fund worth billions like you got rich because your daddy was rich you didn't get rich because you earned it right so in that case it's always the trust fund kids are like oh who gives a shit they don't even think about money they spend money like it's fucking nothing like it's a blade of grass it's like money is not even an object to them they don't care they can do anything they want they can buy yachts they can do whatever money doesn't matter to them it's nothing because mommy and daddy made the money I don't have to work by the way I don't actually know any trust fund kids but that's what like the Kardashians and all like they're totally like they don't do shit like they make money they have like you know apparel lines and all that stuff now but when they were younger before they had all that shit dude they were just spending money because they were fucking rich because of their parents um let's see here is it the OLED a Samsung OLED so we don't know if it's a glass on the front we haven't heard I haven't heard anybody confirm if it's a glass on the front or if it's plastic on the front um but um it was Takahashi Machizuki that said they were Samsung panels now Nintendo does have a line at a Samsung factory so it could be that um but I don't know if we know 100% for sure that they're Samsung panel I think because of what Takahashi said we're assuming they're Samsung panel but we're not actually sure if it glass you'll flip why would you why would you why would you flip if it's a glass front that's why you hate spoiler rich kids hey Odyssey TC just reoffed for two

pumpkins been going on for two years Timothy lay wants it the pumpkin stays with you now I could patch I could take this over to the neighbor we have a neighbor who's really good at sewing she could patch up these holes no problem it would be nothing so I could just get mr. pumpkin fixed up then he'd be fine then he'd stop leaking everywhere I mean he's still a little deflated right now he's missing some insides there but he's still here he's double chinned it a little bit he's still around he's still staring me down that pumpkin stays just sewing back up the more holes the better I better trash my office even worse so you don't want to come in here keep that mold on them too oh up here this is a mold this is like um I'm not even sure it's not mold though it's like a sticky

come on come on don't make me be lonely in here you know I'm in here by myself no turn it off turn it off don't you do that again we're not about to make love uh he's falling apart let him go the bird man come on come on yes I've heard of the steam deck we talked about it earlier in the stream it's literally I mean it's not in the title I guess valves attempt yeah it's mentioned in the title yeah Yulia is gonna she tried to get rid of him once he came back she's gonna try to get rid of him again and I don't know if I'll be able to resurrect him again when she gets him again I'm not sure mr. pumpkin's coming back you you've been a classic I don't have it though here's the problem I don't have other stuffed animals by the way I don't have anything this is huge mr. pumpkin's like the size of my kid he's huge I don't have any other ones that are this big I kind of wish I had like a whole army and they could like come in on different streams and stuff right mr. pumpkin's just gonna haunt her dreams she's gonna legitimately like like throw it in the fire pit and try to light it on fire and it's just gonna stare into her soul and never light the fire will just burn around it get a mini link plush I have one but he's tiny when I put him in the chair you can't see him he's happy to see you I think better poke one of his holes you like that huh okay oh no no no no turn away no no no no no he enjoyed that too much he he was we're not gonna go there we're not gonna go there no I run I mean pro control is great entering the stream at the moment I can see I've made a terrible decision I'm sorry joker I hope I don't scare you away I don't intend to scare people away it happens I don't try to be scary we just have fun we just have we just have a good time um there's some review to USA stuff that you just did I mean I haven't taken off my shirt showed my mantits and licked the cucumber so we're not we're not quite you know while having the cock come on we're not quite at review tech USA levels don't give me that kind of credit I don't have that kind of confidence review tech USA is a crazy guy oh $50 I'll take my shirt off and I'll lick a cucumber like um there might be another reason he's keeping me oh my god what's long green and smells like misfit what's happening to this live stream right now what is happening why does this happen like every live stream Yulia shows up and everything just what does Yulia bring out new folks what like what effect okay I love my fiance but everything whether she's here in person or here in the chat everything just takes a turn every time without fail we were having a nice friendly stream Yulia shows up and now we're entering NC17 territory I just fingered a pumpkin think about what just happened I just fingered a pumpkin and I'm not even drunk why because Yulia showed up what happens I love you honey but every time this calls from a nice PG 13 stream we just a nice PG 13 I suppose you wouldn't say NC17 there's no nudity um no but you put no okay honey you didn't make me finger the pumpkin but you put the thought in my mind the thought would have never even came to my mind how long has Mr. Pumpkin had holes in him and I have not fingered a single one until tonight sounds like wrong I fingered Mr. Pumpkin tonight god damn it strike up another one family friendly please my channel is not considered family friendly just to be honest this isn't a family friendly channel I just I want that to be clear we do not intend to be family friendly um I'm dying oh yeah gotta have that pumpkin spice I do like pumpkin spice pumpkin is a flavor I really enjoy pumpkin pie put some whipped cream in that shit oh my god not you ideas floating around here um got my phones almost dead she's my pumpkin pie pumpkin pie oh you y'all you're my pumpkin pie how much I love to eat you oh pumpkin pie pumpkin pie I don't know what the fuck I'm doing right there that was a really weird song I love how you feel comfortable to act the way you want or at least that's what it feels like you're presenting so capricade Yulia can attest I have all the confidence in myself now there's things I don't like right I put on more weight over the last few months and I would like there's a reason for that I'm not proud of that reason I shouldn't have cared but also I cared a little too much but whatever the bottom line is I'm pretty confident in me as a person I like me I'm a cool guy I think I'm halfway decent looking I think that you know I got I got a face that kills I feel like I have a lot to offer the world and anybody who enters my world I'm friendly kind I guess the same thing there I'll stand up for the people who won't stand up for themselves I love to dance I love pumpkin pie I love poutine pie I love any sort of pie you throw at me I'm probably going to eat it unless it's cream cheese don't like cream cheese pie but chocolate cream cheese I do it's kind of weird bottom line is I think I'm a really cool guy and I am oozing in confidence now one thing that sometimes knocks that confidence down is being a parent I think I'm a relatively good parent but it's all relative so it's like I think I'm a good parent but then sometimes I think I'm not a good parent I try I try I try to be me it's hard to be fully me and be a parent at the same time because like there's a lot of your at least a lot of myself I have to hold back as a parent because I don't want my kids I don't I could be rather immature but I'm immature when it's appropriate to be I don't want my kids getting the sense that it's okay to just act this way all the time because they're easily influenced our daughter if I acted my full self all the time always goofy cocky having fun all this shit she would think like that's okay to do in every situation in life and it's not there are times to be serious there is a time and a place and my children don't understand that so if I act this way all the time around my kids they're like oh I could just act that way all the time but it's like no that's not okay all the time time and place but they don't understand that so like I have to reserve a lot of myself around the kids but as Yulia knows once the kids go to bed Nate's out I come out to play don't I baby he likes to eat pie apparently I do pie is good being a parent is complicated dude it is apple pie dude apple pie both the drink and the actual pie both are good one of the omelette yeah dude Liam a karate the best place to get the best place to get it's in person there might even still be retailers around you that haven't sold out in person cream cheese pie do you mean cheesecake also which do you mean baked cheesecake not that great no baked cheesecake I mean I don't like any either one don't matter there's no book on parenting you just have to roll with it and learn with them yeah no I do and when I act like when I act when I act fully like myself which boy by the way acting fully like myself includes knowing the time and place for things um they don't get it they just don't get it you know that is what it is but my kids today was a rough day with the kids today was a rough day with the kids let me tell you today was a rough one but um random idea instead of doing shots eat something spicy I've done that before that punishes me the next day I'll pass I might have like a goal maybe maybe tomorrow stream I can be like hey if we hit like a certain threshold like we have the $100 threshold right that brings out the tequila um maybe instead for $100 threshold that can be eat a habanero or something right or like go grab one of my hot sauces I haven't tried yet and like take a sweet quick you know something like that I I suppose I could make that like stretch goal kind of things um my daughter's four this year and I'm picking up scourge with her and she tomorrow nice um wait I'm going to SPO in person cause when I did that oh Liam yeah Nintendo's never been no though that was a PS5 only thing you could go in and yeah I have a pre-order in person I got my pre-order at GameStop I literally went in person and got it today you can get pre-orders in person for switch switch was never online only ever it's never been online only that was only Sony and Xbox that were doing that for a while now it's only Sony you can even get Xbox Series Xs in person only Sony's doing online only crap um you think the pro level have bluetooth and audio support okay so now that data mines show that they added the ability for it but it's not enabled so I have no idea I have no idea man the blood moon comes once again beautifully um who has been playing Scourge for today other than me not me wonder if the comfort is better on the old ed I have no idea no cheesecake oh wow blasted me I found that some people like regular cheesecake others yeah no cheesecake go away it's like the devil's food it's not even good she can't call the devil's food it's not good the devil would give you the most tempting things you shouldn't eat but I don't like it um oh wow great yeah no no problem man again switch has always been available in person so yeah I got it in person pre-order for the white version at GameStop later babe have fun honey see you in a while hopefully works works going well for you I'll probably talk to you in a little bit this stream is going to be ending probably in 10 minutes so I got a little I don't know as much to tidy up today actually I got most of the stuff picked up before the stream so but I do have a little bit of tidying up to do and then I went you know I got to that show to watch you know I want to probably get two episodes of that show in tonight what episode are you on on that show hun if you're still here I've been watching this show called designated survivor on Netflix guys dude I'm super addicted to it I think I think the show is done I think it ended in 2019 yeah it ended in 2019 but damn I'm addicted to the show I'm on episode 13 right now of season one and there's three seasons dude it's really good it's really good I don't know how I didn't how I didn't discover that show sooner on Netflix um my team at work literally begs for me to make both versions that's okay some people are really into cheesecake I don't like sauerkraut I don't like mushrooms I don't like anchovies um I don't like that might be it I don't like tomatoes on my sandwich I don't hate tomatoes but I find burgers and sandwiches better without them I like ketchup I like pasta sauce and marinara I like things that have tomato in it that doesn't bother me I don't like tomatoes on my sandwiches I think it just even when they're crunchy ones I also don't like ranch ranch sauce or sour cream I don't mind guac I'm not a huge fan of it though I'd rather not have it it doesn't bother me I'd just rather not have it it just tastes too bland to me it's kind of like a blah I'd just rather just get rid of the blah I don't want the blah I don't hate tomatoes I don't like them on my sandwiches I just feel like it ruins the sandwich it's either too juicy too crunchy or too bland it just isn't consistent no thanks give me my lettuce, onions or a bunch of other veggies I don't care I don't want tomatoes on I mean I could eat like a baby tomato but like even then it doesn't taste that good but like when you make it into a paste like tomato paste I don't know a lot of tomato products I like but just like a raw tomato in any form I'm just not really a big fan of except in like a salsa but then is that a raw form because it's been mixed with other stuff so is it really a raw form because other flavors have infused it right so they have a pre-order poster no I would say with tomatoes don't like them solid paste sauce only fruits and veggies in general see fruits and veggies don't gross me out but yeah tomatoes I'm just not a just not big into raw tomatoes in any form besides again salsa is not really raw tomato though because it's mixed with other stuff you know adds to the flavor profile I would imagine a future patch would give you the option to enable Bluetooth support with limited joycon connectivity right now you can connect up to 8 joycons I can see like oh but if you're using bluetooth headphones then you can only connect 4 joycons or something right but I have no idea the Skyward Sword HG codes from the E3 giveaway go out tomorrow or are they going out at an uh there's only one Skyward Sword HG code we only gave away one copy right I gotta check that maybe we give away two I gotta check that document they're not going the I feel a bit bad the E3 ones are going out tomorrow the E3 ones are going out in like a week it's weird it's just how the budget worked out the E3 ones go out in a week the ones won for this month go out tomorrow it's I know it's weird uh I do have a lot of I think my I gotta let the Amoeba winners know my the Amoeba have been delayed for me that was an announcement today Nintendo announced it themselves they promised retailers all these Amoebos and we have all these pre-orders of the Skyward Sword Loftwing Amoeba sold and Nintendo informed everyone today by the way most of you aren't getting your Loftwing Amoeba come back in August maybe you'll get it then that was announced by Nintendo oh Nintendo so my pre-orders were affected so it's kind of like oh I have people at E3 who won those I have pre-ordered them I was hoping the Joycon show up that we gave away we gave away two sets of Skyward Sword Joycon I'm really hoping they show up if they don't what am I going to tell the people that won the Skyward Sword Joycon if my pre-orders get cancelled like sorry sorry have a good day ugh I have to do something for them it's dumb the pre-orders for the Joycon and the Loftwing Amoeba I'm I'm not happy right now I'm scared that I'm going to find out tomorrow because they're not going to arrive tomorrow but I'm going to find out my Joycon ones have been cancelled ugh I'm scared because we did giveaways for them I'm not keeping any of them I don't have a Loftwing Amoeba coming for myself I don't have a Skyward Sword Joycon coming for myself we gave them away during E3 I had pre-orders in and I'm so worried that I'm just not even going to get the products even though I had pre-orders in it's so dumb I'm going to feel so bad for the winners when I tell them sorry they cancelled all my pre-orders and I don't know when they're ever going to do another run of these ever they might never do another run I don't know it might be a year I have no idea how long it's going to take ugh dude I'm on since E3 isn't that crazy a month ago today was Nintendo's E3 I wonder where my members are I remember we gained a ton of members during E3 so we're around renewal time we're around renewal time let me look at this quick I wonder how many members we actually have still ugh as we peaked at 131 yeah we dropped a lot yeah we're down to 95 members we dropped a lot so many members just left us after E3 ended yeah we were at 131 now we're at 95 but oh well what are you going to do right what are you going to do nothing you can really do about people leaving it is what it is still more members than we have before E3 so we'll see a lot of them are due for renewal here coming up in the next few days so we'll see what happens ugh yeah yeah dead man walkie 89 you're right I'm scared because we gave away I think two loft wing amiibo and one loft wing amiibo I don't know I had to check the document I had two pre-orders in for each I had two pre-orders for loft wing amiibo and I had two pre-orders for joycon and I'm scared that all four are going to get cancelled and I got to email those people and be like I'm so sorry it wasn't a fake giveaway I swear but they cancelled my orders and I don't know when we're going to get new ones because I don't want to pay scalpers right I don't want to go buy it from a scalper so it's like I really hope they don't cancel on me as cool as it is to get my money refunded oh great your money's refunded I don't give a shit I gave these away I guess that's the risk you take in trying to give away pre-order items though I suppose you know you pre-order something and like I have to switch all that pre-order from oh I know that's going to cancel on me so who the hell knows it's so hard to rely on pre-orders for shit that are oversold how you doing man looks like we're giving the real switch pro you talking about the the steam device the steam deck 80 copies at your local Walmart nice do you really think Nintendo will release another pro um do I think Nintendo could release another model of switch absolutely will they be more powerful I hope so but I don't know when um you're welcome Tierra Hughes yeah I talked about it on Twitter and on the YouTube channel and I saw a number of people surprising I think I helped inadvertently I think I helped like 25 people pre-order a switch OLED today crazy right crazy I wasn't I don't it's like people didn't know it's like the all the people they follow on Twitter weren't wasn't updating for them um it's weird but we we helped a number of people get switch OLED pre-orders today it was crazy there's a chance you can find them in store my game stuff said they got a bunch of boxes this morning in the back that they were going to unpack tonight in the morning yeah I don't know the amiibo are sold out and Nintendo Nintendo themselves are the one that we're like yeah we oversold that what we produced sorry check back in August it's like Nintendo really so we'll see what happens maybe maybe my pre-orders will arrive in August maybe they won't arrive at all maybe I'll get refunded I just feel bad because they're collectors items and I had the pre-orders locked and loaded that's what makes me feel bad not for me for the people I gave them wait it's like I had this shit locked and loaded this was taken care of it's frustrating it's more like RGT today got frustrated when he had the switch OLED in his card on Best Buy and couldn't get checked out he got frustrated imagine having pre-orders locked in for over a month and then like the day it's supposed to come you get told oh by the way you might not get your product have a good day just like the Zelda Game & Watch next thing you know they're going to tell me cause we gave away a Zelda Game & Watch next thing you know they're going to tell me Target I got it at Target I think they're going to tell me that I'm not going to get the Zelda Game & Watch I pre-order it too that'll be the next thing they tell me winners are announced tomorrow don't worry about it now I fall but I still worry I do worry about it because we have all these giveaways from E3 which I'm still taking care of but these are the ones that you're waiting you're waiting for them to come out it's frustrating maybe I just don't give away pre-order items anymore I want to give away a switch OLED and there's a chance I might get a second pre-order in but it's like do I give it away on hand then give it away even though I could change the shipping address and have it shipped directly to them like if I get an Amazon pre-order in I know I can change the shipping address and just have it shipped directly to them like it would make a lot of sense oh I got an Amazon pre-order in give that pre-order away directly ship it to them so it's just I get frustrated I think everyone's frustrated by that situation anyone who's been told maybe August really? E3 stress is going to weigh on me until every single digital physical item is taken care of and that's not going to be done until the Zelda Game of Watch comes out so I'm going to have this E3 stress of the giveaways isn't even close to over for me isn't even close to over so I'm just anyways um can't even pass 10K views for his video since E3 the Alexander 707 says OMG Nintendo brain can't even pass 10K views for his videos since E3 look how this sensationalist over happy Friday's Stalin he deserves it so a little fun fact three months ago my videos were basically getting like a thousand views every now and then you get two or three thousand right now right now my videos the actual videos not live stream live stream views all depend on how long you're streaming for what the topics are all that jazz my standard videos my last one earlier today I got three thousand will probably top out around four by the time I wake up 7.3 for the one before that 6.8 we had 2.6 then we had 5.7 then we had 9000 4.4 3.9 6.3 6.8 6.9 7.9 so like yeah I'm not getting 10,000 but I'm getting like 600% more views than I was getting three months ago so yeah we're not getting the same amount of views just like there will be for the next Nintendo Direct and there hasn't been as big of news of course but it's like my viewership is way higher than it used to be what the fuck am I complaining about people always look at it like oh man you used to get 10,000 I'm like yeah that was a special period of time where do we settle when E3 is done we've settled where every video I upload is probably going to get at least three thousand views I was getting 1,000 three months ago so every video I upload is basically going to get 3,000 several of them are going to double or triple that I'm good just because I don't get 10,000 views of video okay cool cares who cares I'm happy man we'll troll somebody else but they already marked it up 50 dollars but they really want to hire to a model that's another 50 sure, Nintendo doesn't care um should I buy a Skyward Sword HE digitally and play tonight or just wait and pick up my pre-order in the morning I mean I'm picking up one tomorrow I don't know it's up to you can you wait? I don't know I mean I know it's like available to play like right now um can't pace everyone on a spike yeah everything on a spike yeah like that's the thing like yeah every year by the way the lead up to E3 plus E3 itself is always my highest viewership period you always are doing numbers that are bigger than normal the question is when the dust settles and E3 is a month behind you are you getting more views now than you were before the E3 rush factually yeah my channel is doing way the hell better now than it was three months ago cool that's a win that's a win now the growth is kind of stagnated and that's going to happen but a lot of that's on me I haven't been uploading this one you guys know I'm not back to my normal stream schedule right I haven't had a week where it's been Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and forever so I haven't had my five streams a week yet in a while and I haven't been doing two three videos a day like I used to so yeah as I get back into a schedule here after my vacation sure things will probably pick back up because I'm not making more content more the content drives the views drives the subscribers drives the discovery if I'm not making enough content then yeah I'm not I factually have barely made content since E3 like in comparison to what I was doing before E3 so I'm not worried about it we'll be fine everything I do make is performing outside of my expectation even my video today I didn't think that video was going to get 3,000 views this is old news from yesterday I'll be lucky if this breaks like 1,500 here we are 3,000 so it's like dude every video I make is like outperforming what I expected to do so even this live stream we've been consistently 130, 140 plus all night we've been struggling to get over 100 live in some of my recent streams and yet here we are we're back up we're back on the up and up and as long as I keep the consistency of my streams going the viewership is going to continue to climb I just haven't been consistent you know I know all the YouTube game works I've been doing it a long time well aware of how the YouTube game works but people like to credit things to be insensational or whatever I don't even know clickbaiting I guess so excited for next year's E3 I hope Verizon announced a 6G alright TfSouls I've been here a long time your live streams are so fun and you're funny too you're absolutely amazing thanks I try alright we're going to call that a night hey we have 171 likes tonight cool thank you guys so much for tuning in I had a lot of fun tonight I hope you had some fun too we talked a lot about switch OLED and the valve thing and we went until a fun little story on the first night that I ever got smashed you guys are awesome have a good night you're playing Skyward Sword HD tonight have fun enjoy I'll be joining you guys tomorrow night I will start my save file tomorrow night live on stream I know the intro can be a little long to the game hopefully we get past the intro during the live stream we'll see what happens have a good night guys
