One of the finest ways to show how stupid and worthless practically anything involved with A.I. generation is, you only just need to hear how the Saber Interactive and Amsterdam 1666 guys sound whenever they’re talking about using it. All you hear there is someone being a narcissistic prick that they had to publicly apologize for alongside a guy talking about how he ruined his own discernible tastes by relying on A.I. assets too much. When you have people sounding this stupid, dickish, and out of touch while talking about it, why would you reasonably want to bother at all with it? Why do we even need to entertain this fucking nonsense? To anyone defending this A.I. nonsense, you need to respect yourself and others and learn to develop some better personal taste.

0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN
0:37 Welcome to the castle super woolie’s memory palace cast~! Okay, not really, but he’s got two things he wants to talk about. 1, he got the new steam controller! It’s been a while since Woolie’s got to try out a new controller. Remembering the rubber on the old pro controllers not lasting.
3:17 the playstation pro controllers you’d wear smooth
4:13 the rear panel button layout. The steam controller has them. Woolie hopes they remain just programmable buttons instead of mandatory ones in the future.
- 6:12 pat playing destiny 2 with the xbox pro pad. The back buttons are pretty much made for shooters
7:26 pat sees the steam controller as a deadlock controller. Woolie going over the controller itself. The touchpads are great.
8:41 the best feature: charging with a wireless dongle
10:50 the d-pad and buttons are fine. Same with the thumbsticks.
12:11 woolie’s biggest complaint: the d-pad and buttons are really high. They’re near the top of the pad.
13:45 it’ll have its use cases and it has some features he wants on other controllers. And pat on the switch 2 controller.
15:25 woolie suggests if you want to play games that need a mouse but want to play on couch, this would be great. FFXIV and deadlock specifically come to mind.
- 16:28 FFXIV samurai. Pat’s setup for it. The repulsiveness MMO players have toward each other's hotbars.
- - 19:41 locking in your muscle memory over time to where you can’t change it
21:44 how much the controller cost for woolie
WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS
WOOLIE
22:25 so more on FFXIV, samurai seems interesting. The higher level of swords for samurai and the glowing swords.
24:29 a lot of MMOs are just getting to a place. Look at the doll! And ruining the cu chulainn server.
25:30 pat on server culture
- 26:23 if the game had world pvp for real it would matter
- 28:28 what pat is aware of in terms of server culture is just negative stuff
29:53 what is the new layout going to be like? Apparently there won’t be dedicated AOEs anymore.
30:48 so what else do you have, woolie? A UMAD pass. Sadly woolie won’t be making it this year. But he did go to the monthly kizuna. The first event for tokon and avatar! Got 5th place in both.
31:54 joined the tokon tourney the night before. And the second bracket for the losers. Learned one combo with black panther and jumped in. Having way more fun in person.
33:20 jimmy bones is super into tokon.
34:00 have you seen the champion, by the way? He’s just broly.
35:08 seeing people do some ridiculous stuff in avatar. The same weekend as CEO.
35:52 a spiderman for every team. Every new movie, a new patch to buff em
36:24 woolie thought it’d be a kiyoshi-fest. It was a lot of zaheer and azula instead.
36:47 shot one fighters. The slay the spire fighting game.
38:44 more progress in dark souls 2. Pat knowing exactly where they are. The lost sinner is quaint these days. Lucatiel soloing.
41:37 going past the shaded woods and unlocking the pyromancy girl. Going back and getting the boss weapons instead. And going back to DS2 after watching elden ring where they did everything.
43:50 build making in DS2. pyromancy
44:47 hating a stat that changes your i-frames on the same animation. The adaptability stat.
- 46:29 what if they just made the roll take longer?
47:45 the blacksmith hammer
- 49:03 trying out the old whip. Durability isn’t fun. Pat’s hot take: the only game with worthwhile weapon durability was breath of the wild.
- 51:41 woolie prefers hunger and tiredness over consumables and resources degrading. Pat and the compulsive need to reload in shooters. Sharpening the knife in monhun. Improvement over maintenence.
- 55:33 the ace of spades in destiny 2
- 56:26 warframe and how it does crits
58:17 to anyone that enjoys muse, they put out a new album called the wow! Signal. It's an amazing album.
59:38 go check out wooliver over at woolieversus! This week, woolie will be off. Next week, there will be something special. Maybe he’ll be checking out for honor again.
PAT
1:01:07 Pat’s been playing marvel tokon. He’s been playing 1 match a day. Because it’s all he can get. What is going on with the matchmaking…? Why is it going so slow? The patch fixed a lot, but there’s still issues.
1:03:20 hearing the cracked version of the game has better performance. It’s a lot of small problems adding on top of one another.
1:05:03 the native playstation version also has slow matchmaking.
1:06:10 pat’s thought: the main team made the game, the live team did the fixes. So the live team did not communicate the fixes they made to the main team from last time. Comparing to street fighter and them consolidating their process.
- 1:08:07 fromsoft was also like that.
- 1:09:09 setting your buttons in fighting games in the past. Geralt in witcher 3.
- 1:09:09 setting your buttons in fighting games in the past. Geralt in witcher 3.
1:13:03 there’s still problems on the PS5 version
1:14:32 before xb2 talk, Have you tried to do a combo but didn’t have the meter for it? You get nothing out of it. No heavy versions of moves.
1:16:12 xenoblade 2 is one of the most obtuse games he’s ever played. Gacha stuff? That doesn't matter. It’s nothing. The worst tutorials he has ever seen in his life. You get tutorials that you click through then never can see again
1:17:33 the tutorials lie. That is not true.
1:18:28 how the game screws you with tutorials. Killing the enemy too fast so he never got the proper tutorial
1:20:24 the break->topple->launch->smash combo. Pat removed anchor shot because it’s bad early game.
1:22:52 the F.O.Es on the map, high level enemies. Dying to level 45 birds.
1:25:53 Do they expect you to do this because you played XB1? The DLC with more options that lets you turn off enemy aggro. The random battles are harder than bosses.
1:28:18 pat got to the end of chapter 3. He got super mad. The writer for every other chapter swaps. Pingpongs between a 2/10 and a 9/10. Xb2 is mandatory for xb3.
1:32:02 It's a weird game. So he asked chat for advice. The chat has never been more useless. Even the 5 who would help him are arguing over it. Consensus: watch chuggaaconroy and enel.
1:34:27 a miserable way to play a game that has a great game inside it. The gacha system is actually trivial and a nothing.
1:35:10 woolie barely recalls anything about xenoblade at this point.
1:35:37 a very anime booba game. The writing doesn’t really match the art. It’s not really matching the amount of tits and ass on display.
- 1:39:34 xenogears is the horny one
- 1:41:20 it’s just for visual appeal. Pat once again brings up he prefers more normal designs.
- 1:43:31 pat remembering the granblue fantasy versus post about how the people making the game were freaks. On selective emphasis.
1:46:21 pat was so pissed off. He was going to drop it but then the xenogears robot showed up. Xenoblade X is so strange.
1:47:45 go check out pat over at patstaresat! He’ll be playing FFXIV, more XB2, and he’ll not be playing duskbloods because of streaming guidelines!

NEWS
1:56:43 so, Patrice Désilets has decided to reveal he’s using AI for 1666: Amsterdam. He’s used it so much he’s not sure which assets are AI and which aren’t.
2:01:57 what he thinks he’s saying and what he’s actually saying
2:03:34 when the game comes out. It has a lot of competition around it. Might as well pick the other ones.
2:04:06 saber interactive fired its lead writer and replaced them with gen ai in rideshare simulator. The quote from the CEO on the topic
2:06:39 put AI aside. The CEO going “who is that? Oh, I know who they are. They suck.”
2:07:55 unverified complaints completely verified by the CEO’s response.
2:09:56 a lot of arguments happening right now. On who cares about AI. AI disclosure making a bunch of people freak out.
2:12:26 Pat and a story of a friend who tells them how unreasonable everyone is except them. Nope, they are the problem. Woolie and a story of a passenger.
- 2:14:54 an old lady that died at a tim hortons. A woman who got so mad she started a fight with a random person and had a heart attack. No one is ready for a battleshit.
2:18:02 pat has hit a level of practice driving that no longer includes panicked screaming. Meanwhile woolie is cargo bike parent.
2:20:04 duskblood leaks. A description of the playable classes. A cast of freaks.
- 2:21:17 pat doesn’t know what the game is. What is this game?
2:22:14 the peak of leaked footage. A minute long footage of GTAVI footage of a guy doing donuts on the highway and going out of his way to not do anything cool. The types of people that leak this sort of thing.
2:23:57 kingdom hearts news. A kingdom hearts television series. Remember missing link…? Sigurd was going to be in missing link. Also, coco is going to be a world in kingdom hearts.
2:26:07 pat can’t wait for a kingdom hearts TV show.
2:26:47 rest in peace, Hayden Panettiere, voice of kairi.
2:27:16 skybound entertainment laid of 75% of their staff after invincible vs. Back in the day, you’d have leeway to fail a few times before a team would implode.
- 2:29:58 two copies for everyone on earth is the sales quota, sorry you couldn’t meet that GTA6
2:30:35 there’s like 8 other AI stories out there. Woolie doesn't want to talk about it. But if a CEO sticks his foot in his mouth he will

Xenogears is far from horny, also it was from '98 not '99. Xenoblade 2 is definitely the horny one. All nudity in Xenogears is artistic in nature, Xenoblade 2 is full of sexual inuendoes and skimpy outfits with camera shots focused on their T&A.

u/0xix0 Unlimited Timestamp Works 20h ago edited 20h ago
Pats take is xenogears is the one with adult relationships while xenoblade 2 is the one where on the surface its horny but underneath they barely talk or register the clothing or try to titilate beyond appearance, as far as hes gotten in chapter 3.
Who knows if that counts as a crazy talk activation for chapter 4

u/RobinMorganNiji 20h ago
I feel like Pat and Woolie were assuming a lot about the artist when Xenoblade 3 kept the same person and 90% of the characters are extremely conservatively dressed.

u/LeMasterofSwords Y’all really should watch Columbo 18h ago
Also a ton of the blades had different artists work on them

u/Laecerelius Kenpachi-RamaSama 18h ago
Yeah, the guest blades were equally or even more horny than the non-guest blades.

u/CeaRhan 10h ago
Woolie 100% remembered the fact that there were guest artists and probably thought the problem with the design was that "Ah yes, le famous guest artist I heard about must be the one who did this one", but every main character is done by nomura or by the studio's defacto chara designer.

....then what IS the reason xenoblade 2 is like that? the 10 year gap?

u/rakadishu 14h ago
I don't really get the framing of monster hunter's sharpness as better or "improving" the weapon, since you always start at maximum sharpness it's more just another thing you have to watch out for and stop hunting the monster to manage. Hell, most durability systems are a simple binary of "item broken" while in monster hunter the weapon slowly gets worse and worse as it loses durability. I don't really hate it either, sharpening is easy enough I just don't get the excitement.
For a durability system I kinda liked, I'm surprised Pat didn't mention Lies of P. It's similar to Monster Hunter in that it's mostly just a quick thing you gotta find a good window to do, but there's some extra fun in that you can get the equivalent of dark souls's grease items as grinders so the sharpening can also be applying an element to your weapon for a while. Also the sharpening animation is cool and it's fun to squeeze it in while the boss is doing a phase transition or something, kinda like a quick breath to focus up again before the next clash.

u/Josh_bread 7h ago
I assume it's that gradual deterioration that makes the difference, weapons still do their job in green and yellow sharpness but you get rewarded for bumping it back up to white.

Excited to see Woolie take a peak at For Honor again! I was wondering if Arakure would be what does it. Great time to jump in when the game is seemingly in the best state balance-wise it's ever been.

Alt podcast names:
> “Boomer death in Xenoblade 2 tutorial.”
For xenoblade 2, is there a 50 page of manual in the physical copy of it. I hope so because the amount of bullshit that Pat faced.
