all right um we should be live to both twitch and YouTube at this point so hello welcome to awesome hardware hi guys live tech show that Paul and I do every single Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Pacific time right here on Twitch on TV / awesome hardware we also streamed the show - to our respective YouTube channels today first half of the show is on my channel bit weight and in about half an hour or so will switch over to pulse you can find a link to his half when we begin that in my video description underneath the YouTube player but let's see we would like to have a good time on the show it's pretty laid-back we keep a cache have a couple drinks on hand usually our glasses are fuller at this point but we can fix that ok but that was a lot of clinky that was raining for the night oh yeah sorry I got a beware of this but Mike's right there because people feel like they're really right here with us yes very immersive room immersion we occasionally use an adult language on the show so be warned and we also sell things on our merchandise stores which help us get money and money allows you to view things so many things so many things control the bills of others yes manipulation been torture bit wait dumb tech is my store you can buy the screw with confidence shirt which is still still doing well don't two flavors bunch of other stuff they're very high quality merchandise the glasses are sold out because we are still in search of a new logo yeah the days are numbered on this this here logo for a new one currently side of it I don't really have any good leads but we're working we're working tirelessly to find a new one so don't don't buy anything with that logo on it just yet pause or buy things at that logo now limited time offer and soon like triple resell value by where the the the awesome what did your channel used some sauce I use I wear the awesome sauce Network shirt yeah that's like an and people are like man you must have been be an old-school fan of right Kyle back before he changed his brands yeah completely destroying his his YouTube channel and everything's my channel's never been no it's actually it's actually worked a true point being though you can buy stuff on my start - yes that's what I was trying store is Paul's hardware net it was a great segue fault yeah um you've also got the the captive thumb screw yeah there's a still there on the multitude of items shirts and hoodies and pint glasses duct and stuff look how clever that is yes yes it's great it's great very punny lots of God woman fantastic aware that thumb screw shirts are always great sellers as well I'm happy to pick up either of those anything from our stores and you will get a johnston shout out at the end of the show as always and let's dive into the news people in chat say that youtube that you did the wrong start time for you I did the wrong start time wasn't it doesn't matter what life did I said they said YouTube said the one person in chat sadly they could be trolling I don't know they could be trolling it's hard to tell sometimes it's just 5:30 p.m. I never mind fine I mean we were only like slightly more than 10 minutes late which is honest ease within the margin of the margin that's the buffer everyone has a buffer yeah 50 members is roughly 10 to 25 alright so thank you facie two for the compliment of my shirt my wife bought me this shirt I was gonna say it's a nice shirt I dig the Lego thank you yep it's a mash-up is it oh I didn't I didn't get it from from the Martian oh oh is that Matt Damon yeah Matt Damon yeah I didn't get that at first yeah we'll see you know it's a mash-up but I didn't realize this until recently yeah there's a bunch of websites that sell t-shirts that haven't you mashup designs on them right and I was like you know often those are popular with people because like take two clever things that people are nostalgic about put them together right and people like I want to buy that shirt it's case in point right here I love the mashups but then I realized a mashup changes something and probably protects them from copyright infringement which is why when I was looking for certain shirts because my eye I realized I have a lot of pulse harbor shirts I don't have a lot of like non pulse hardware shirts so you're looking for just some other shirts right that I could wear out and about and when I want to be discreet yeah exactly and I was looking for just some basic I was like I would wear a final fantasy shirt that just had the Final Fantasy logo right really hard to find that plenty of Final Fantasy mashup shirts interests harder to find just the straight yeah single logo cuz then then it's a copyright infringement I got to pay a bunch of licensing fees to actually make that shirt they lose money on it that makes a lot of sense was just think about that anyway brief aside here to start the show off making you guys think that's what this show is all about you do a bit wooden poles Hardware mash up shirt should we should call them Hardware shoes and sell them on yeah we [Laughter] all right so let's dive in just to some of today's news starting with the hot and heavy hardware segment you wear we talking about hardware that's hot and heavy sometimes it's it's not sometimes literally sometimes metaphorically exactly but it's always one way or another um today is sort of I don't know metaphor I guess it's metaphorically metaphysical it's I guess it's neither metaphorically hot or heavy metallurgy but it is literally heavy ish for what it is it's the nvidia RG young metastatic metastatic you know that's the next word I was thinking of but the RT X 28 is super who is officially launched today you probably got 25 notifications normally your sub box some arrows there's videos from me from Paul and from well your other favorite tech tubers so let's talk about it briefly we're not gonna focus too much on it because you guys are probably you know sick of plenty of these super content at this point in just a super content but this articles I wanted to highlight an ant X article because they they do they always do such a good job they're very thorough this is this one's by Brian Smith and basically the long and short of it is that the 20/80 super is kind of like the odd it's the it's the oddest card it's the most it's the it's somewhat like the least necessary card out of the super lineup in my opinion and it's kind of a consequential card because the 20 the 2016-2017 / only launched as a report as a retaliation against AMD's RX 5700 series that's the assumption well that's the assumption but video is never going to come out and say that of course not of course not but let's based on RIA when they launched it and everything yeah of course total was total response and and so what happened then was if you take a look at the 2070 super it actually increased the performance by quite a bit you know up to fifteen percent two times over the existing r-tx 2070 which yeah please do I would like to I surprised me which brought the performance a lot closer to its bigger brother the r-tx 2080 but the Arctic's 2080 at that point was $200 more expensive than the 2070 Supra so it was kind of cannibalizing itself in a way the 20 70s over the r-tx 28 so as a result of you know nvidia somewhat shooting themselves in the foot by retaliating against AMD they had to create a better stopgap GPU between the 20 70 super and the 20 80 TI that would was very close that was intentional a heart attack like reflexes we got some arrogant bastard arrogant bastard beautiful perfect perfect beer for the show but so yeah so the 2080 super it just exists because it has to it's not a sexy card it's not exciting but this Paul's hardware bottle opener certainly is and you can get it at Paul's hardware net right now I'll link to the description so the other thing is that the 20 oh yeah yeah okay we always get our priorities straight here on the show thank you so the 2080 is by no means a sexy attractive card I think gamers Nexus put it very well as Steve said it's phenomenally boring it's phenomenally boring card it just exists because it has to otherwise the product stack invidious products deck would not make sense so doesn't really compete with any other cards then like realigning stuff cuz like exactly the 2080 in its present form with the recent launches made no sense anymore exactly so nowadays but the other thing that you can see here is that if you if you really want to get down to it roughly a five to eight percent performance gain over the existing r-tx 2080 again nothing super exciting makes you makes you realize every since this this launch came about in this family of cards it makes you realize how often at least it makes me realize how often I say the word super made me realize how stupid of the like Jupiter my name it is - all right you could argue about the stupidity of the name I don't like the name but it's very much because I had to sit there and go over benchmark numbers and specify well the 2080 does this the 2080 super does this and then you have to go and then I have a twenty eighty super that's the founders edition at a twenty eighty super that's from ZOTAC yes the third-party design and it's just like trying to like talk about the benchmark numbers a little bit to just you know elucidate that for people right cuz that's people people tend to like that a little bit yeah it's just so so confusing 25:27 would have been way better in my opinion that right yeah because I mean you got the ti that they've been doing the ti model for a while and that still kind of can get a little like I guess they didn't they knew they had to make new versions of multiple cards and they they didn't want to dilute the efficacy of the TI since the 2080 TI is currently their halo products yeah yeah that was the other thing that sort of was refreshed with me going through the benchmarks again is man the 2080 TI is a this is a beast insane yeah it's still like killer yeah knowing that knowing Nvidia is just kind of messing around with the mid-tier cards when they have the 20 80 TI oh yeah it's just like 20 30 % faster and they're most likely working on something that's even way faster than yeah so absolutely it's just so expensive I know their next card the next-gen ti is gonna be like $2,000 yeah I mean not bat an eye if they sold it for 2 grand I hope and people would still freaking buy it I hope you know I hope aimed I hope Radeon has a 5800 series or a 50 900 series in the works like a your version of Navi or something like that even if it's component I feel like even if it's only competing in the $500 plus range like safe competing with their current 2070 super in 2080 super that still might be in a right and three to one oops oops sorry that's okay we had a bit of a little trip trip of a breaker like like Paulo saying earlier if you got it like all the electrical you YouTube doesn't know we were talking about so yeah all on one breaker if you guys follow my channel you might know that last year I had a solar put in and I have a new main electrical panel and stuff that was all like the electrical stuff on the outside of the house so inside the house everything is still wired up the same way it was like I think when the house was built in the 60s which means that the stuff in the garage the kitchen and the living room basically the entire this half of the house is all on the same breaker so all the computers and lights and stuff we have out here going on the portable AC that I have in the garage to keep us somewhat a livable temperature out here when it's hot as well as what the ladies because my wife and my wife or both hanging out over in the living room my wife has now turned off the TV which is probably that should should give us enough breathing room here to continue the show so my apologies for that and and yeah we just we just it's it's really just a ploy to get you guys to to miss us every time we just think like that you know panic I need Paul and Kyle I just need them in my life you know what else I forgot to I forget I totally forgot to announce this but it's our friend and moderator self Processing's birthday oh yeah it is his 40th birthday no less which is a huge milestone so we just want to say congratulations and happy birthday cell on making it to 40 you made it you're an awesome guy we love you we love what do four for our channel here and and everything you do for the community so in honor of cell today any super jets that are flying around in YouTube all that is gonna go to him for just a little birthday gift it's really the least we could do for all the help he's giving us completely free of charge completely voluntarily when his own will in accord to help the awesome hardware show so yeah happy birthday we shouldn't wish him a happy birthday whether it be in Chapter or I his Twitter at self processing he's a good dude for everyone in YouTube chat saying F and whatever we're it's fine we're screaming they might be a bit more behind or something I'm not sure but but yeah cheers Cheers cheers to you seduce that bird to sell em play lots of video games and get super shading they yep alright that's enough about the r-tx 28 super let's move on to our next article from overclocked 3d net about Asus detailing their upcoming XG for 3q gaming monitor again this is a hot and heavy hardware segment where we talk about hardware that's hot and heavy and this looks like it would be more on the heavy side Paul if we're speaking literally it's a 43 inch ass large 4k v a panel at 120 Hertz with a free sync to range of 48 to 120 fps nice much cheaper allegedly than in videos BFG displays which is probably not saying much because those things are expensive hell it does bigger though those are like 65 inch everything's fine nothing to be concerned about the AC just made a funny noise like it was that was the condenser just looking that jeez deactivating it sounded like it was having a stroke it's bad I'm not distracting at all okay the other great thing about this is that it exceeds the display HDR 600 spec L so it has a peak brightness of 715 it's which is quite a bit more than you'll find on vast majority of gaming panels the days it also has an anti-glare compressors greenest not condensers anti-glare screen and a game fast and it's game fast input technology from Asus which aims to minimize input latency it's got three HDMI 2.0 ports one DisplayPort 1.4 and it's rocking 10-bit color top the template color depth with 90% DCI p3 pricing and availability is to be determined would you consider gaming on a 43 inch display Paul if it was something like this that was targeted and aimed at gamers uh yeah actually my wife has the 42 the Dell 43 inch oh yeah 4k monitor it's 60 Hertz but she games on it in place overwatch mmm-hmm and even though she's sitting pretty close it like it's it's really cool so yeah watch your play so if you were to increase the refresh rate for in particular I'm sorry right there yeah the refresh particular sure that would be pretty nice that's the one thing I feel like is lacking that monitor when it comes to gaming in particular yeah yeah so it's big it's very large you don't you wouldn't want to sit too close to it sure but she plays like overwatch and some other games on there and then she also does work stuff on there which includes Excel spreadsheets so if you can imagine like a 43 inch 4k displays basically like having 4 totally 27 inch 1080 displays yeah alright there so she can do some crazy Excel work on that and so that's cool and I feel like gaming on a big display like that is good like would be super nice for certain games where like things are usually pretty tiny like four so five or something like that like any of the saved games um I think I think like this extra real estate in that sense would be pretty nice to have but but yeah I actually like I think LG sent over a sample this is probably last year of one of their 4k 43 inch monitors I think it has free sync but same thing as as years it was like 60 Hertz and I was like if only it had like a higher Freight refresh rate that I would turn it into some sort of gaming you know device so it's like it's crazy how like refresh rate determines whether a monitor like that is gonna be like a gaming display or like the the secure like the monitor that I use for my security cameras at home that's thanks that's basically what I'm gonna set it up for is like a new picture by picture and all that um tell pulse is pretty nice tab but it's cool to see that we're getting gaming displays in all kinds of shapes and sizes and form factors with the latest and greatest specs HDR 600 no less pretty sweet let's move on to our next article here this is probably something that no one asked for but you you might get it anyway it's the Origin PC Big O two point O the Big O Big O two point O it is essentially a single system that crams together a PC and Xbox one X a ps4 Pro and a Nintendo switch all into a single Tower these hexxus pictures are pretty horrible I'm gonna be honest here yeah I don't know what's up with that Asaf a super oversee no use pictures of these is that they're of this setup is that did they pull these from cuz I don't know Mon box therapy did a video on probably at some event where they okay I had access to it to take pictures and so there's video right there so oh yeah so they just pulled images from his YouTube video oh that's it yeah oh yeah no wonder it looks like crap well that's why it looks like crafte he's probably like one of the few simple in the world of seen this in person this is probably the best shot of the interior you have the guts of a ps4 and an Xbox one 1x that's what an Xbox one x1 the high Xbox one X held at high-end Xboxes oh you guys well yeah we don't and they're water-cooled yes and you're just like man stupid Xbox using green PCBs that's so fast it looks pretty cool but yeah is this all in the same loop I don't think so cuz it looks like you got a oh no it is it is on the same loop it is right yeah so the tubing is color the telesco it I've actually considered this before doing different colored tubes yet the color until colouring the tubes so you can still just have distilled water in there right and not worry about coolant or anything like that right but anyway I'd love to see how they made the the water blocks fit on - those PCBs like onto those chips yeah this kind of custom mounters like that that's pretty sweet is the PC on the other side I didn't even take a close look you see a PC in there as well the PC specs in case you guys are curious and interested like this the msi meg is e 390 god-like so it's rocking a is e 390 Intel platform this in 480p core I 999 hundred K there it is NVIDIA Titan RT X 64 gigs of Corsair Dominator plats and bitch a storage thing so beast of a beast of a mole nicest affair in the PC specs while showing close-ups of the they make they make pcs no not videos Paul is there any shot alright here's the other there it is there's the beauty side there's the other side with the PC in it with an actual nice-looking PCB decent motherboard that's cool though yeah this thing's pretty beastly you know what's cool is also the I think if you scroll up there might be a picture of the Nintendo switch go up one yeah until the switch is removable so you can still use as a handheld console I've seen a few pcs like custom pcs that have integrated like a little switch a little cubby or whatever yeah that's yeah that's that's cool too so yeah this is not gonna be for seldom how you can't buy it as you can say how much do I got the there's an Origin PC exact that said the machines never gonna go on sale this is simply to celebrate the company's 10-year anniversary which which means like Microsoft and Sony would never allow it what that comes down yeah it's like an incestuous I don't know it's like sleeping with the enemy real and so the Big O two point O is also a throwback to their 2009 Big O which combined the gaming PC with an Xbox 360 so this is building upon that this is definitely a bit more elaborate and congrats to the origin PC on 10 years of success that's a really cool concept like it I kind of wish they could sell it because I I guarantee there be a market for this so totally it be a niche market sure people who are rich and everything its origin so they probably charged four grand for it or more Lisa he's like 10 grand knows thank you but yeah but yeah I can say you know if you're making like if you want to set up like the ultimate gaming room like bring people over and impress it right impress them be like hey right PC console whatever the hell you want to play on this yeah you know load some emulators on the PC side of it you can basically have access to like write virtually any game ever that'd be pretty sweet I would say that this like this is like super practical if it weren't custom water-cooled that that's the only thing is there a little bit of a potential future problems into the mix because they're there that doesn't reduce some maintenance that you wouldn't necessarily have thought the Shelf consoles and they're also kind of terrifying that a leak could potentially destroy four systems at 100 twitch is pointing out Leon Leon's is pointing out into which it's got a Titan RTX Jack's so probably much more than 4k yeah yeah probably yep probably closer to 8 to 10 grand maybe I don't know we'll see whatever if they ever decide to sell that we'll find out yep so let's see that's definitely on the the heavy side of hot and heavy hardware let's move on to something that's a bit more on the lighter side oh but potentially hot at least there they're hoping that it won't be issues exactly how they won't even introduce their premise yeah this is the asus rog phone - that builds upon guess what the ROG phone one it's using a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 p5 plus SOC at 2.96 gigahertz with a boost GPU clock of six hundred and seventy-five megahertz that's on the Adreno 640 it hasn't improved cooler design this is why I mentioned heat is because the ROG phone first-generation was known to thermal throttle so you weren't actually getting the full performance of the phone's capabilities because it was just overheating and so it had a down clock everything well this has a brand new cooler design or at least a new and improved cooler designed to prevent thermal throttling like last phone which should help you maximize the phone's performance now is that the Aero active cooler - the little snap-on fan nope so it is I don't even know I don't even know if these are the actual official accessories for this this phone or if it's for the first because so far we don't really know what the accessories will be for the second phone unfortunately a hideous slide by the way how does it when the color choices this some random ingredients on some of the numbers they've left like like I said all neon they have screen caps with like with spellcheck stuff like that I'd say it looks like the Grafton a bunch of ecstasy I look at a lot of graphs and slides and stuff like that now Shane well made one that's and that's not when you look at and digest information this one shit shit this was absolutely fuck this phone to hell a little obsessive shit pissed up don't make a bad graph in front of all you will not hear the end of it it also has a larger six and a half inch AMOLED screen compared to six inches on the last one oh that still be very impressed with six inches 23 so she's 780 with 120 Hertz refresh rate versus 90 Hertz so that's that's better also has 240 Hertz touch sampling rate which gives the device ultra low touch legacy I'm so like out of tune when it comes to the mobile world I'm like touch links what is what a touch latency is that like to tell you their site again the right thing you can touch the phone and how responsive the touching is that it's its input lag is basically what they're talking about of your yeah the time it takes your finger to actually register yes an input I see exactly make sense so 49 milliseconds versus 87 milliseconds on the their main competitor which is the Samsung Galaxy S 10 plus so that's about a 40% increase and if you're a serious mobile gamer if there is such a thing as a competitive mobile gamer of course there's there has to be and then this is probably a very important spec to you it's also going from 8 to 12 gigs of ram you have a 4k or you're going from a four thousand to a six thousand milliamp battery i think this is probably one of the biggest improvements gaming on a mobile device drains a lot of power very quickly hey cells I'm Chad happy birthday so happy birthday Sal smells badass also why I'm distracting you crafty hack is also moderating yes thank you how much crafty for being here he's moderated a few times recently he's excellent very doing a very passable job yeah so your job is and I would go so far as to call it adequate I'm just getting crafty you're awesome thank you for your help yeah wildly nearly sufficient so we also have a 3.5 millimeter jack yeah you know hardcore gamers and I like that gonna be happy with that 512 gig storage main camera is going from 12 megapixels to 48 megapixels which is a huge bump over the last generation and again there's probably gonna be new accessories for this phone just like there was for the last phone however no cross compatibility with existing accessories from the last gen or a G phone because of the size difference of said phones yes that makes sense a lot of them like snapped around the housing and stuff so yeah a very tailor-made that makes sense easy yeah crafty crafty said nearly sufficient have you been talking to my wife let me keep you around it's gonna release in China or I guess it really is in China today and it'll release globally in September price is unknown expect to pay a pretty penny all right that is hot and heavy hardware whoo you move on to my next segment which is the gamers report Games report there wasn't a ton of tech news today apart from the RT X 2080 rubbish so good so I'm gonna talk about some games okay starting with this article from PC gamer although everyone's talking about it right now GTA 5 is still lower thirds Kyle oh Jesus all right sorry it's updated work I think we're good clear hmm GTA online is still relevant apparently they keep rolling out DLC the next big thing here is Thank You Diamond Casino I constantly like people like twitch streamers yeah play GTA all the time it's constantly in the top yeah range it's still hot man it's just one of those games that people live so Sandboxie and people do so many things yeah that and the graphics are just amazing like fer sandbox and it has by far the greatest graphics and all the mod like the mod community for it obviously you can can't really get too far online with that but very dedicated mod community there so this is the diamond casino have you heard about this fall you should bring all of your money to the diamond casino ok spend all of it as fast as you can because there are things you can do here that you you've otherwise never been able to do in the game you can play poker you can play blackjack you can play roulette you could even bet on fucking horses Wow ok and to play all you need to do is exchange your cash for chips at the cashier services just like a real casino ok it's a it's really it's the future $500 of in-game currency gets you casino membership which Awards you a one-time $5,000 bonus and it also gets you special privileges I think there's like a limo service or some other shit that you get in the game it's it's very boozy you can get buried boozed out with this new downloadable content apparently one chip is equal to 1 in game dollar which kind of makes it confusing as to why you would need to cash in dollars for chips but there it is the chips are just funner I guess you can only buy 50,000 chips at a time before a cooldown timer starts if you if you're a high roller like that and can actually afford $50,000 a second new currency but they've gated it so that there's certain stuff that would require you to like go back to the casino multiple times and max out that number in order to purchase it with casino chips I am Not sure I'm not what I wouldn't be surprised there are lovely items that you can buy in the casino once you score big once you win big and can you buy the casino can you only see that's probably a future DLC you know buy buy a piece of Los Santos like a property management property owning this is why GTA san andreas is still the still the because you could buy casino best what did you could buy proper Walt I mean yeah part of the endgame las pinturas get a casino I don't know it's been a while since it's the San Andreas is the one installment I'm ever played really and I know it was like one of the best it's really good I know I know it's I played quite quite good I played three I played four I played by city I played five literally san andreas was the only one I don't know it was a weird time I was or I don't know I don't know gotta step into CJ's shoes man I'm working on the corner at the San Andreas working on the corner of our TV you don't do that in San Andreas as well okay well um you know this is better though because you can actually have a baller suite all right you can actually have a baller suite with multiple bedrooms a spa media rooms a home theater there's all kinds of shit you can do in here okay all you need to do is spend real money on fake bullshit in-game currency and you could be a complete fictional god all right and all the fictional ladies will flock to you and yeah that's pretty much it oh you can customize your mansion Oh unknown mater which is a user found that it will cost you a mere sixty three million dollars Indian currency if you wanted to buy absolutely everything that the new DLC has to offer it's good to know I don't know how much that isn't real I wonder I wonder how many people are sitting on that much money in GTA online cuz I know that I've like I rarely get to play mm-hmm but then whenever I play there's people who like clearly have lots of time to play we're we're good for now oh I'll probably take one okay just in case well we'll get it back up sure yeah that's for me that looks delicious thank you yeah yeah yeah we have personal servants that pandas beer throughout the show it's just that's just how it's normally goes part of the YouTube contract oh yeah right once you get to our level like this is just what you can expect for your a million subscribers just thank you number 75 at 75 it's yeah were you looking for a bottle opener yes I was I have this post hardware unfortunately this level of YouTube fame does not come with a bottle of bottle service doesn't that's to get up to 5 million subscribers that's - about that ok I frequently ask him how the bottle service is sure to go atomic Oh says he has over 300 million dollars in GTA so ah damn that's good well I guess he's you should go and buy everything from the casino Jesus Louise what else were you accumulating all that cash for you obviously were waiting for this particular thing uh all right isn't it wait hold on isn't there kind of an issue here if you're like able to gamble with Indian currency but you're using real money to buy the in-game currency is there no like is there no controversy here look like you know you're gambling with games in like they're potentially minor is playing like what the whole csgo skins thing you're gambling on skins is this I mean you can literally play roulette so if I I don't know the details here so I'm just taking a shot in the dark here sure but I think the difference would be that you can't cash out the money it's a one-way transaction you can buy in-game money but you can't necessarily take that money and then like cash it out for a $50 game card or something like that I say that makes sense and there's no way to transfer money to somebody else in-game is there hey can you transfer it can you transfer money to like in-game currency to another player but even if you could that would still like no one like once you've spent the money in game you can't profit from it outside of the game like you can't you can't pull that money back out I think is the thing it's a one-way thing you're giving Rockstar money yeah rockstars never giving you that money back well no no I understand that but I'm just saying let's say you you win in-game currency back there's probably somebody out there if you can transfer money in between players who would pay real money for your in-game currency at a at a discounted rate that you would undercut Rockstar and I think in that case it would probably be like a gray market thing not approved so right right that wouldn't be within there that would they don't have to be responsible for that again okay I'm not familiar with the details of this I could totally be wrong I'm just kind of this is this is the logic that occurs to me as far as far as this goes I don't make sense okay okay all right that's that's all for that article let's move on to our next topic which is from Rock Paper Shotgun I really quickly here Wolfenstein Youngblood is slated to release one day early on PC it's nice when the the PC gamers of the world gets a little bit of special treatment does it what a huge big boon the home be to them whole days it's a big deal for some people but it's gonna be releasing on July 25th that's just in two days here on the PC it's gonna be July 26th for everyone else oh you dirty Normie plebs you have to wait a whole 24 hours to play this this new installment of the the Wolfenstein series this is a video from Rock Paper Shotgun which is linked in the article Youngblood launches on Steam for a $30 u.s. I'm surprised it's only 30 bucks is it not just a is it not like a full fledge triple-a title maybe they just wanted to charge a reasonable amount for the game so people play kau attentively Paul there is also a word that there's not going to be any rate racing at launch it may come later but we're not sure how it'll be utilized in game so okay yeah you will not be able to see the glorious reflections off of all these Nazis all the robot Nazis at least for now at least a day one however let's let's pick this back up though there there is some potentially good news here because the game control does have rate racing at launch our article from overclock breda net says that the game will include ray-traced reflections contact shadows and indirect diffuse lighting and they're really advertising this wonder how and how much NVIDIA paid them to advertise rate racing in their games so heavily but there's trailers and there's been a trailer or two as well as these kind of like swipe swipe left right RTX on and off screen shots that they provided so here's just a nice little trailer but you can see how ray-tracing effects the visual look of this game I was startled there it suddenly stopped and I was startled oh no it's not it's not too scared here okay so alright yep looks look slightly better there there are definitely some areas like that looks pretty cool you know you can see the reflection in the mirror there are some scenes that yes so it's more impactful than others so here's a good example of ray-tracing having an effect in-game and this I talked to in video a little bit about this and I was like it was reminded me of physics beckylyn physics first came out by ogia back before Nvidia but the physics IP I was like there's no game that requires you to have ray tracing in order to experience the game properly that you need ray tracing for right that is a really good game that everyone wants to play yeah and there's a there's a chicken and the egg thing going on there because no one's gonna develop that game because there's not enough people who have r-tx cards to enjoy it but anyway all that said you could see this type of thing being used in games with some effect so like this is people who are like who like talking shit on ray tracing like don't talk shit I'm ray tracing know you can talk shit on invidious choices over the past year when their push for ray tracing and I feel like they sort of overhyped it and then there wasn't enough substance there so people got kind of turned off by a bit yeah but the technology isn't to blatantly you can see a bunch more there's more to be derived here due to the I know this is just reflections of a thing here but you can sort of see how this could be used in a game of course I mean provide further immersion or - yeah you know imagine a horror game where you're walking through a haunted house or something and you can see like a ghost or a monster behind you in a reflection of a mirror and like a broken mirror near like you can see like perfectly ray chased by you and you can turn around ahead and it's not a simulated viewport it's an actual reflection or something that's happening down the hallway that you wouldn't see otherwise if you weren't facing it exactly the right thing okay anyway so brief aside this so everyone should go by control and by ray tracing supported our t-rex cart and there you go thanks a video thanks thanks for fitting thanks for paying this to say all that of course let's move on to our last article here for games report about the Nintendo switch okay the Nintendo switch is getting a new console coming in August that's supposed to have double the battery life which is huge as a lot of switch users are using these consoles on the go as they're intended to be used so this is gonna cost the same $300 at the original console cost right now unsure if the existing console is gonna see a price drop or anything but there is a slight issue it might be hard to tell apart the first and second gen switches if you're looking at these in a brick-and-mortar store for example now it does look like the packaging is slightly different you can see here we've got the og Nintendo switch on the top and the Refresh at the bottom the retail boxes are slightly different so I guess you could tell that but to the untrained eye you know your mom or dad who's looking for a new switch for Jimmy for Christmas isn't gonna know fuck-all they're gonna be like oh it's the same shit they just got fancy with their their packaging it's a pretty significant difference though yeah two and a half two or the range was up to six and a half hour is now up to nine hours potentially even more depending on how you use it but there are other ways that you can tell the switches apart apart from the retail packaging the model number for the original is H AC double O one whereas the model number for the new switch is H AC double O one - oh one so there's a little bit of an extra just a few stupid why isn't double O 2 oh yeah like yeah I don't did you not have enough digits here Nintendo it has 0 0 1 how many versions of switch do you have that you could have made that 0 0 2 or 0 5 3 or any of the literally 999 different variants yet you had to add another - 0 1 in parentheses on the end why the friggin hell do people sorry digit quota they're like alright we must have 5 digits in this one for no apparent reason Stu me no it definitely doesn't we should have a rant segment where we talk about shit like this now there's also the product serial number beginning with XA W on the original switch chat is Right 998 different options Wow one was already used versus xkw on the new one and then you can look at the probe a turi life description where it goes up to 6 and a half hours for the original and up to 9 hours for the new switch so there you go now you will never be confused because you decided to tune in to awesome hardware that one time there's also the just worth mentioning the the switch light the switch lights is gonna be a new console that's only it's like exactly like a switch but it's only handheld there's no dock so it's not intended to be hooked up to your TV it's simply an on-the-go device that is kind of like a beefed up 3ds in the way support people twitch it's a poor people switch switch not switch and poor people so I was like poor people with but that's gonna cost $200 so it's gonna be a bit cheaper because there's not as much fun not as much functionality but there are a lot of gamers out there who are only using their their switches in in mobile cases and let me let me clarify here cuz I said like I don't understand why they did this ok I do understand why they did this I know exactly why they did this it was intentional it obviously obfuscates it requires a special article to the to determine the difference between these many of you hopefully many of you who were considering a switch purchase now know this information whereas you otherwise wouldn't have nintendo wants us they do this because there's a bunch of the old version out there and they don't want that stock to suddenly become invited like not valuable not as valuable or to suddenly sell for less right because people only want the new one sure so they create confusion between the new one and the old one yeah so people have a difficult time discerning between the two and that way they can still sell the old one even though the new one has come out right that's exactly what Nintendo did this yeah that's a good point zip it is a it is shitty that totally makes it shit only make sense and I don't like it yeah okay I don't know what what's the alternative they just phased this they should have just sold out the alternative is I'm coming out with a new version that's that that is just that is something that is more distinctly different from the old version and then they have to cut the price on the old one yeah they're still trying to sell the new one in the old one for the same price they're still trying to sell both return or bucks I think that I need to take the old one and sell it for 250 or 200 bucks to clear out the old inventory but they don't want to do that they want to make the same profit margin that they did before yeah so they do something like this this is why they did it yeah that's Business Corporations Jamie yay groovy smashing okay and then finally let's move on to our last segment which is just a really quick stupid makeshift segment that I just made up in the last five seconds ask the audience no it's not Oh kind of yeah it is we only have one question and it's not tech related at all so as some of you guys know wifey sauce and I are currently renovating our living room it's a huge huge project that's gonna take six to eight weeks to complete we're currently in the midst of it and we just found out a few days ago that the contractor said that that the area of the house that we're trying to pour concrete in because this is the house right this is the house and there's the living room that we're trying to renovate but the living room that we're trying to renovate is weird because it actually goes down a step so if it goes down a step and then it go and then later on it goes up a step have you done any vlogs recently no no not yet you you won't really find it there oh you just posted a picture I posted some pictures or whatever but basically we have this goes down what's that oh they're perfect perfect community tab beautiful okay so you see the step right there so this is the living room this is the current state actually this is it looks even more disheveled than this right here since this was posted so you see the step there on the right this one right yes so that needs to be flush with the rest of the house and in order to do that we need to pour concrete all up in that that empty that that sloped that lower area the lower part of the foundation okay like underneath where this would be like basically all here needs to need to be filled with concrete this doesn't have concrete on it right now no we need to make it flush we need to make it flush weak we want to look I gonna raise the floor on the left exactly we want to raise the 40 minute wash okay however the rest of the house is one inch shorter than where that step is up here yes okay so technically we would actually have to have a one inch one to one and a half inch step right right but right between the dining room and the living room there's a little there's like sort of a wide like a really wide doorway that frames the house and then there's this other room and when you come out of the main house it goes down yes and then this is that room and then it goes up at the end of that room and then there's the upper levels yeah we're talking about filling in this lower level here to make it flush but then that would make that a little bit higher than the level of the house exactly 1.5 inches 1.5 inches roughly a little soap up so the question that I had and that wifey sawsan I've been wrestling with is is this going to be a problem is it going to be annoying we've never had or lived in a house that had a small step like this that's just like an inch and a half you know if it was one step like a one regular-sized step like the one in that picture I think it would be less of an issue because it's very visible people won't likely trip on it and I think that's our main concern is where's the bottle opener hey I think didn't steal it she took it hey no sorry never mind never mind never mind go away that was accusing you of wrongdoing it's usually right about that so is it gonna be an issue to have a step that's one and a half inches I I don't know how will it look and how will people interact with it well will they trip on it will it not be an issue we could do a slope but that would look after crafts you put a comment Oh from graphene not if you install a camera to capture everyone tripping over it I thought of that I thought how hilarious would that be if we just benefited from everyone else's sorrow and pain but wifey sauce didn't really like that plus I'd probably be one of the people tripping on it so yeah any thoughts on on this Paul would you would you a little step would you put like a that that tape like the yellow slash reflective tape you know they put on steps like high visibility to warn people I don't know if that would match our floors maybe might stand out a little bit might be a with your another sighting modern or so these are the important questions that we have been trying to answer the questions like this have filled our life for the last two weeks and it's they're important they are important because this is what you're gonna have to deal with it and make the right decision or live with care earlier for like years and years afterward it seems like such a stupid insignificant spend thousands of dollars they fix it right but you mind puttin that over there with you so we're racking our brains about this I think wifey sauce is biggest concern is that it's gonna look ugly and that people will trip on it and I somewhat am concerned about that as well fair enough although it might not be it might be a non-issue maybe everyone who comes in will obviously see that there's a step there and not trip on it at all and it'll just look like a little step and it will people won't be like oh god the step oh the house is beautiful but the step just we ruins everything we watch a decent amount of house hunters yeah it's it's my wife's decision but I'll be honest I don't I don't object or anything to it people seem to constantly complain about stairs any times their stairs like alright the kids are gonna fall down the stairs and died or something like that like how many wouldn't people like stunts like you're in your situation when people stub their toe once and realize there's a step there yeah for sure yeah exactly like don't children need to learn how to negotiate stairs at some point in my life into like look before they leap type of thing something like that so right so it could easily be a non-issue I'm really curious to hear you know from people who actually have a step like this in their house cuz your contractor it's not as uncommon as we think maybe it's just hell people are gonna the foundation like especially of a slab is the worst decision we've ever made to go with that step destroyed our lives sorry alright let's give the results and then we can end my half okay so I've been rambling on let's check it all to eat yes people will trip and die and you're gonna go to jail today so 2/3 roughly 2/3 of you think that it's a terrible idea the problem is we don't have a great alternative we could do a slope like a gradual incline but that I think is gonna be a uglier what if you just burn down that room just burn it down well we've already forget about it I wish that was an option now after we've already dumped so much money and hits ash in your backyard like we never speak at that place so and then you and then here's anyone who comes over you like tell them you like so many there would have been so much grief and horror of people with stubbed toes had we not burned down that room our backyard would have been a graveyard I'm just saying listen that's an option you have all right well I'm still but that's gonna do it for my half hey thank you so much for watching don't go anywhere though because we're about to stream for another half an hour or so on Paul's half and there's an after party and there's an after party although it can't be too long because we do have your crunch on for dinner but yeah don't go anywhere we'll be right back okay where you are on Twitch that guys
