"Don't talk about the health benefits of ingesting heavy metals while you push the knife deeper into their abdomen." Is such a cool line. Well said, Graham.
Who designed the fucking eSports trophy thing, Maximilian Pegasus?!
This has some classic Unreal Tournament energy. "The New Earth Government, in conjunction with the Liandri Mining Corporation has announced the formation of the Esports World Cup!"
Wouldn't you like to know, Yugi-boy?
@@ashridah That was my exact thought as soon as it started!
God it *is* the most duelist kingdom shit to ever be attempted in real life, isn't it?
*Attention duelists,* etc.
Hilariously, Rameses II actually *was* a gamer. There was a Senet set painted on the walls of his tomb.
There is also a long standing Pro DOTA 2 player called RAMZES666. I don't have any info on the gaming credentials of Ramses 3 thru 665 though...
The joke is that "Ozymandias" is Ramses II's gamertag.
@@RoonMian "Look upon my gamer score, ye mighty, and tremble."
Now I just have this image of Moses accusing Rameses of being a toxic gamer while the two of them were growing up
@@93cras The undead Ramses 2 continuing to game would make for a pretty interesting Mummy movie.
"There's a reason your trophy can perform emergency saucer separation" might be my favourite joke you've ever written, Graham.
Star Trek nerds unite!
🖖
The Pseudo-YA novel jargon was AMAZING.
It's essentially a dystopian feudalism scenario.
@@Mac_OmegalyI thought it was just an excerpt from Hunger Games, lol.
I thought it was from the novelization of Elysium
It's Crapshot material
What subscription level does it take for me to remove someone else's name from the end credits, crush it in a hydraulic press and suspend it in resin?
🤔
I think that is the 'producer' level.
You don't have to be a higher subscription level, but you do have to beat them in a 1v1 match of Mobile Legends Bang Bang.
That key/trophy/totem stuff sounds like Yu-Gi-Oh anime nonsense (compliment).
Exactly! Was also reminded of the star gauntlets when I first saw it
I'll be honest, I'm right there with you. My reaction was; "Look, this is so anime-over-competitive that it's cool. But nothing's going to make me like ANYTHING about Saudi Arabia, until I hear about the large-scale renovations to their societal structure."
Right??? But like... if the person running it had the Flamboyance of Pegasis but the insecure Take Me Seriously!!!! Vibes of pre-any character development Kaiba
My exact thought!
I want to hear Wheelers opinion
The esports story might be the single most interesting and bizarre Checkpoint bit of the year. Excellent YA novel prompt Graham, can't wait to see the first two movies before the next three are proposed to be a streaming TV show before being quietly cancelled years later.
Graham's interjection of "Which it has!" had a perfect energy to it. I can easily imagine that being Dave's Spokesman turning to the camera as an aside during a promo.
11:35 - Waay back when, I played in a Battletech tournament called "The Anvil". It was a 100 player battle royale, and when a player's 'mech was destroyed, the one who got the kill took the metal miniature to an anvil and crushed it with a sledgehammer. The last player standing received a trophy of all of the destroyed mechs glommed together.
On the one hand, I'm glad all the problems with Harmony Gold are over. F those guys
On the other hand, I was supposed to retire after selling all my 3025 stuff. Ah well.
Similarly there's a Magic format called Ironman. If a card goes to the graveyard it is torn into pieces. At the end of the match the winner gets all the loser's remaining cards and has to build a deck for the next round from the remaining intact cards. Winner's prize is all the cards that survive the event, runner-up gets all the pieces of torn cards.
@@TheEvilCheesecake Good lord, I hope the format was Pauper!
@@barbaros99_I don't._
@@barbaros99 generally the format is Sealed Deck, where you open six booster packs and build your deck from that. The store usually uses it as a way to sell unwanted booster packs at a discount rate. But yes, you have to expect that you're throwing your entry fee money into a hole.
Did I miss an extra layer of the joke when I point out that Ozymandias and Ramesses II were the same guy?
Nope, that IS the joke
Thank you for helping me get this joke!
I learned a new fact today!
That was my initial reaction, too.
"But Ozymandias IS Ram... oh. I see."
Saudi Arabian Star Chips was not news I was expecting this week. But here we are.
"Yes. But it involves a lot of grinding."
It took me way to long to get this joke, but when I did I could barely breath.
this joke physically hurt me and i had to subject my wife to it immediately (this is a compliment haha)
Fun fact: the Wind On Fire books detail the city of Amaranth, which starts out as a ringed city that works pretty much exactly like Graham's gamer city; pass exams to move up through the rings. It gets... weirder.
I can't believe someone else remembers my favourite childhood book!
@@PandasAndPancakes Happy to have reminded you of a treasured childhood memory =]
City of who?
@@AmaranthOriginal from the blurb:
The Smarties Award-winning novel, read by the author.
“I hate school! I hate ratings! I won’t reach higher! I won’t strive harder! I won’t make tomorrow better than today!”
In the walled city of Aramanth, exams are everything - not only for children, but for whole families. When Kestrel Hath dares to rebel, the Chief Examiner humiliates her father and sentences the family to the harshest punishment.
Desperate to save them, Kestrel discovers that life in Aramanth was once different - and if she can find the secret of the Wind Singer, maybe life can change for the better once more. So she and her twin brother, Bowman, set out on a terrifying journey - to the true source of the evil that grips Aramanth...
I’d totally read Graham’s YA novel, that was brilliant.
Also, “Nobody knows that I’m the player” absolutely slayed me.
that resin pit at the bottom of the totem looks a lot like the muggles being crushed under the statue of wizards in the foyer of the ministry of magic
Now that's an image...
On one hand, I did pay for the premium pass for Pokemon Sleep. On the other hand, it's effective at forcing my stubborn ass to a regular sleep schedule so that my medical issues do not get worse, and this is the only one that worked.
Also, since you have to put your phone facedown to track sleep, you're not using that phone so it can't keep you from going to sleep.
Crazy tech problems need crazy tech solutions I guess
Bioware NPCs coupling up if you don't date them isn't particularly new. It dates back at least as far as Tali and Garrus in Mass Effect.
Fenris and Isabella, too, so this isn't even new for Dragon Age.
Also in DA2, Aveline and Donnic, so party members romancing non-party npcs is over a decade old too.
Dear Graham,
Please write that novel.
The trophy thing is so ridiculous it had me laughing so hard... oh my god, I hadn't laughed that much since COPPER TABLET
Oh that's The Line. I just assumed everyone was referring to the Spec Ops game.
I think the architects kinda are.
@@SocialDownclimber Wasn't even a joke. Fallen crystal city in the desert and all. It just seemed folks were making social commentary, but then it's the real actual unironic name.
Interestingly enough Tbagging was invented by Ramesses III see the wall relief at his mortuary temple at Medinet Habu depicting his victory over the Sea Peoples.
Nice of Prince Bonesaw to make even the trophy system that reminds us all that he neither likes nor understands actual people.
So we know the inner key is destroyed if you lose, but they don't say what happens to the outer frame if you lose. Maybe they get to keep the hollow triangle, as a symbolism of your empty soul upon losing?
Also, nice to see they've already decided on all the winners, based on the Totem render they have ready.
I’ve consulted the full video. You keep the outer key and get a replacement inner key that says where you placed (ie: top 4)
There was a reality show in Australia where the person who won "Australia's worst driver" received the prize of; watching their car get crushed in front of a live studio audience on live television. It only lasted one season.
Crazy that the video game esport tournament is doing that, but to hundreds of people.
Meanwhile, Canada's Worst Driver lasted until season 14.
@@RatchetSlyI guess we have more bad drivers?
@@Sahdirah We also, and I think this is important, had Andrew Younghusband as the host. People liked him.
Also also, you didn't get your car torn up at the end of the show, you just got a commemorative trophy.
It's not even a first for bioware: if you don't hook up with Tali and Garrus they'll hook up, and if you don't hook up with The Iron Bull and Dorian you learn that TIB is a switch but Dorian is always a sub
Shout out to Paul's old podcast was unexpected but cool.
Wow I had the very gall to make a sensible comment about a sensible story about Sony trying to outPokemon Pokemon, and then the rest of Checkpoint got WHOLLY UNHINGED
I was not ready
I mean, that totem system is pretty on point given the overt toxicity of competitive gaming.
Pokemon sleep questions:
Yes. Your phone does need to be on and on your mattress if you don't have the pokemon go ++. No. Your screen is not psudo-off, It has a pokemon on it. Yes. You can "fail" to catch because pokemon "get full" on pokemon biscuits, but progress does carry over between sessions. (Eevee has 2 friendship points from the 2 biscuits you gave last time)
Megacorp: “Great, trying to sleep now, “get good” you’re doing wrong, its being commodified.”
It seemed to me like the screen went psuedo off like how it does in Pokemon GO when I tried Sleep? It went nearly full black, but not entirely, and instead of having to use the power buttons or input the passcode, swiping up on the screen brought the game back on immediately?
@RebekahWSD screen dimmed for me, but I turned off my screen anyway. On Android, it still tracked my sleep
@@AmaranthOriginal I currently have it next to me (don't tell Pokémon sleep I'm awake) and while the phone is suuuuper dark, it's still on. I can just barely see it in the total darkness. I mostly know the screen is on because I don't have to hit the power button, and swiping the screen turns it back 'on'. If it was truly off, then touching the off screen does nothing (on this phone at least!)
The esports cup totem thing would make an interesting anime. 😅
Honestly? I'm getting hard, HARD Abstergo vibes off of the keys.
Bad news Graham, the Line is only going to be a mile long now
I am SHOCKED they walked back that project. /s
A mile? That’s barely a Segment.
Was going to mention this, I know entirely too much about Neom because of podcasts
@@TheMetalupis Was one of them the Gulf States Megaprojects episode of Well There's Your Problem?
One mile??? I've seen suburban strip malls longer than that!
My god, I am still in awe and love with LRR’s writing and presentation, year after year after year. Just keeps getting better.
Ah, the good old "Up to X or more" marketing speak, which literally means nothing. Hilarious that they went with 12 months when they could have gone with anything for the X and had it mean the same thing.
Pokemon TEETH? Clearly Gengar, just look at that smile!
I want to see Mawile as a mascot struggling to brush its weird horn mouth thing. Really confuse the kids with the instructions.
The first toothy Pokémon I could come up with was, embarrassingly, Raticate. XD
I'm a little surprised Beej didn't take Palworld story's Yokai Watch bit and circle back around to the Pokemon money chart - that 15M~ish figure he mentions for the sum total of all Yokai sales lifetime doesn't even MAKE the chart, since I went back to look at Ruby and Sapphire at the bottom of what's visible, at 16.22M. He's not kidding, Palworld Company has a rough row to hoe.
It’s only rough if you believe being the best is the only way to succeed. From another perspective, it’s 15 million and that’s really not bad.
A new product doesn't need to beat pokemon to be profitable and even taking a tiny slice of the market would be a huge win for basically anyone who could do it.
@@DoombaconYou say that as if it would be good enough for any of the stakeholders all the way up the line.
@@Quiltfish obviously people involved want as much money as possible but realistic investors shouldn't be looking at something like palworld merch to upend the entire marketplace and know that "the most money possible" for something like this is a much smaller total sales volume for a modest investment. The vast majority of corporate investment is not in the most popular thing in a given market but on a large number of smaller projects that have room to grow.
That trophy system sounds like some yugioh shit.
Also, if it's anything like the Line, it's never going to happen.
I'm helping Microsoft with that acquisition cost recovery by cancelling my Game Pass.
I've been saying for awhile that the 2020s as a decade are just a really banal cyberpunk dystopia, but thank you Graham for reminding me that Saudi Arabia exists, and is just a straightforward cyberpunk dystopia on the other side of the planet from me.
Edit: I also have no idea why people are making a big deal out of Veilguard mentioning that companions with fuck eachother. Like, that happens in Mass Effect 3 and Inquisition too, this isn't innovation, it's something *they've already done* added to the new mediocre rpg they're making.
I assumed it would be safe to have a drink while y'all were talking about an e-sports tournament. Not so much, apparently, since the line about the whatchamacallits performing emergency saucer separation made me laugh, choking on my drink while much of it went up my nose. Thanks, guys. This is indeed the quality entertainment I have come to appreciate here at LRR.
Graham, have the seen Physical: 100? A SK reality gameshow where 100 people compete to be named the physical peak of humanity, and each contestant has a Bust made of themselves at the beginning which they must personally smash when eliminated.
You probably mean South Korean but for a minute there i really thought you meant it was from Saskatchewan
G contributing silent finger-quotes to "season" was very satisfying.
Hearthstone did this a couple of years ago with their battle pass thing as well, you use to be able to get with in game "gold" but then one month they changed to "Runes" but you can only get "Runes" by buying them with real world money.
"What the hell is a value booster" - an easy on ramp to gambling for the poors children.
I have the CPAP pay-to-win sleep app. It's a machine that forces air into me, which has exactly the side effects you might imagine. But it also means I lay on one side for a few minutes, roll over for a bit, and fall asleep as soon as I'm back on my original side. Yes, I sleep like a USB. But it beats the childhood experience of taking a couple hours to nod off the first time, and then the tightrope of not waking up too much so I could go "back" to sleep on the hour-long bus ride to school.
I still sleep anywhere from 9 to 19 hours, but at least modern medicine makes the first part less unpleasant.
@@DannyboyO1 there are weeks (very bad ones these days mind you) that I don't get 19 hours of sleep in total.
@@pBlackcoat Both of our situations suck. I would pass out while driving with that kind of insomnia, and the pain of it would make me welcome the result.
I miss rather a lot of life due to sleep though. We just... do not all get the same 24 hrs in our days.
I’m happy to report there are *NO* micro transactions available in Pokémon Smile.
While Palworld has tumbled from its heights at release in terms of player count, we should also recognize that the 80k peak CCU that it has is still pretty goddamn good, especially for something from a small dev. Helldivers 2 is also "slumping" in that manner, where its massively down from that insane early peak, creating thinkpieces about it, when... its still a very popular game. Its just no longer The Hottest Thing Around anymore.
We just so often forget about how hard it is to keep a success like that stable long-term. And, it should be noted, its absolutely fine for those games that they didn't manage to stay "the most popular thing around" forever. Just about no games can manage that, but they made a huge profit and make a mark on the industry, there's plenty to still be proud of.
(oh, and for the record: 80k peak CCU is not the same as the number of daily players. That's just the max of how many players were logged in *at one time*. Their Daily Average Users is probably well into 6 digits, and their Monthly Average Users, a metric better at determining the number of total people playing a game, could even be in the 7 digits still. We just don't know, because Steam doesn't make those stats public)
100% + they are likely well over 100k average CCUs including Xbox.
#Copium
i keep meaning to find spoons to play a lot more palworld cos i enjoyed it and they've added heaps more stuff and improvments!
How to pokemon sleep:
Yeah, it wants to be left on and unlocked, face down, plugged in, on your bed next to your pillow. The screen goes black to save battery, but I highly recommend having other battery saving settings active at night. It still works if the phone is locked or on a night stand, but not as intended.
Okay so I’ve been playing Pokémon sleep for like 8 months and haven’t spent any money on it and it legit helps me get to bed at a reasonable time! Also you feed your snorlax three times a day and it reminds me to eat. Progression is slow but who cares if it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The sequel to The Shining is called Doctor Sleep, not just Sleep, FYI.
imagine someone giving you a really good joke but you are unable to appreciate it because you have to Well Actually it.
What a wonderful fake YA Dystopia.
Graham, inspired work.
Professor Oak says “Consult a doctor, you may have sleep apnea”
Underrated "Pokemon Joule" pun by Beej 10/10
Yeah Ozymandias was more into Magic but never got into competitive.
I never in a million years could have scripted such an endless banger of an episode. Well met.
yes you clearly aren't a writer.
I am not *remotely* surprised at the cruelty of that e-sports World Cup nonsense.
The funny thing about the post credits is that today Lae'zel was getting thirsty over Halsin's tree trunk arms and I briefly thought it might be neat if members of my party that I wasn't courting could hook up.
The new Dragon Age will be the first game where the player can be a third wheel?
What about the Iron Bull - Dorian romance from Inquisition? Or Parvati and Junlei from The Outer Worlds?
The microtransactions in Pokemon Sleep are making me question if I am actually in hell right now.
As a Norwegian fan who loves Norway Mentions I want to express my continued enjoyment and support of using Norwegian Kroner when mentioning revenue and the like ❤😊
On the Palworld story I'm confused on how a daily peak of 82K is bad, if i had over 80,000 playing something i made i would be over the moon
It's a good number for Palworld as a game, but is it enough to develop and sustain a global multimedia merchandising empire?
@@WFierce maybe?, the best example I could use is FNAF the first game back before it really, really exploded had around a lifetime peak of only 30K so anything is possible
@@WFierceit doesn't have to be an empire, it just has to be profitable
I feel like the story was kinda just "thing I don't like wants to be thing I like, but it won't" which Beej acknowledges with the second half of the story.
Bidoof got them big teeths.
Also, why does the "key" for the trophy system look so much like the Artifact symbol? Are they trying to remind us of games that tried and failed to become long-term esports?
More like tried and failed to justify their existence on _any level._
@@stevethepocket I disagree, I think it had issues, particularly with balancing and their "digital card marketplace" but I do think it had some interesting ideas for game design
@@stevethepocket 100% what is happening.
There is an _entire_ market of US companies siphoning billions from the UAE for years using nonsense like this.
That whole "The Line" project is about 20 billion over budget due to, primarily, consultancy companies from the west, and whatnot
9:13 Cam, in the Pokemon Go Crapshot!
Where did you get your Lapras?
I mean, "Gotta brush them all!" IS a pretty neat slogan (speaking of the toothbrushing Pokemon app).
Look there's plenty not to like about the Saudi sports nonsense but that trophy system is METAL AS HELL.
O wow that palworld news I did not know or expect. Good for them
One of the most common causes of house fires in Australia is lithium-ion batteries going boom while on charge because overcharging or fault. The idea of a game that requires you to leave your phone on charge all night is risky.
Not for nothing, if LRR ever completely collapses you have the makings of a decent YA writer Graham
Graham sold me on that YA novel, so now you better get LoadingReadyWriting for all the book readers you've awoken
13:41 well that is definitely a unique pronunciation of that name
The YA Novel bit was amazing, great writing.
"What the heck is a 'value booster'?" Same, Graham. Every single Magic player is asking the same thing.
the trophy system feels like it was made for a Yu Gi Oh Plot, did Seto KaIber come up with it!?
That reward system feels like something out of Yugi-oh.....also can we have Graham;s Dystopia novel as a dice friends some day? it sounds fascinating!
14:40 I mean... I would have rathered having No Rizz in some games. The number of times a game has informed me I Just Started A Romance With A Character I get BLINDSIDED cause usually I'm Trying To Role Play and I Am Generally Polite And Kind Unless Provoked.
And with Biowear games.... like, the first Dragon Age has a pivital plot moment that can change on whether you pitch or catch and whom you sleep with.
The first Mass Effect makes it Actively Difficult to avoid having the break up conversation with Kaiden unless you are CONSTANTLY mean to him, and Liara straight up Is Attracted To Shep as Part Of Her Character... sooooo if you say, like me, wasn't a fan of your human crew mates and instead made eyes at Garrus, Wrex, and / or Tali you would gain respect and friendships but be barred from flirting or even making suggestive jokes... like shipmates do, all the time. Laughter breaks any tensions folks DO have living in closed quarters and accepts we all got bodies of various shapes and sizes and sometimes they make hilarious noises 😂
O right and the other two games will ignore you going None, Thanks in ME1 and have Keiden get all huffy and jealous and *a lil xenophobic* if playing as Femme Shep and romancing Garrus, and Ashely does the same to dude Shep who wasn't interested in her and is now romancing Tali. Which was... UNCOMFY for me because *I never* hit that in my second play of the Trilogy and Kaiden STILL YELLED AT ME later on. Like bitch you are *hallucinating,* I like my Less Humaniod Aliens please and thanks. I woulda romanced Wrex all the way through if the game woulda let me 😂
I could see a world where you choose opponents you like or was a epic game to in case in your personal trophy instead of a toxic thing.
I'm so into the ancient Egypt punchlines.
Please integrate a key and totem system into Subathon this year.
"Oooh Beej, looks like Cori defeated you in forklifts, time to take your plastic banana and melt it into slag to make Cori a bigger banana!"
Did you know that being unable to fall asleep at a normal time is actually a sleep disorder? I got melatonin tablets prescribed by my doctor and it's a freaking game changer! Something worth checking out if you've not already tried it.
"oh, episode is over :( " sees 10 minutes left in vid "gooooood, gooooood!"
I got upset when Franco-American got bought out by Campbells, then nerfed the Franco-American red sauce I grew up with, because Campbells had to pay the interest on the buyout loan - by charging the same amount (or more) for products they are now using cheaper ingredients in. I hate the taste of Campbells spaghetti products. It was beneficial for my health though, because I no longer eat highly processed pasta in cans.
The game companies are doing the same thing. "It's the same thing with less content, but we're in desperate need of more money to pay CEO bonuses, make interest payments on our game company buyout loans, or both." Corporations are not your friend.
EA definitely isn't my friend because their need for greed trashed Mass Effect and BioWare.
There was a comment on a previous episode about the Activision buyout about how, according to the business class they took, large acquisitions actually tend to make stock values go down. I forget what the reason was. I do know that if I were a day-trader, I wouldn't be happy to learn that the company I'd just bought stock in was about to blow billions of dollars on something that wouldn't actually provide much value in the short _or_ the long term. Maybe that's it.
@@stevethepocket In the long run, mergers and acquisitions hurt the average citizen because of price increases - especially when a company achieves a monopoly.
I have said this before, and I am thankful that this Checkpoint said that same thing in a roundabout way, but yes, Saudi Arabia is trying it's damndest through sports (like F1 racing and football) to get get outside business to support The Line and also ignore it's constant human rights violations.
I'm glad I'm in one of the same Discords as Beej, so I too know of the insanity of the Gnome War
Yo that palworld news is dope. Looking forward to diving back into the game. And maybe, hopefully, have a flambelle plush to tag along.
That game rules.
thank you beej for reminding me i had a pokemon sleep subscription that i should have cancelled like two months ago
I reckon Palworld might have more of a playerbase when it is actually a finished game instead of an early access title. And hooray for an eSports tournament with echoes of Metropolis.
Palworld is doing great for early release game.
You went YA Dystopian novel with it, but I thought the Esports World Cup story smacked more of Ubisoft's Abstergo nonsense. Seriously, this is how they imbue the "Key" with someone's fully unlocked DNA-memory potential, thereby opening the crypt of Juno or some such silliness.
I am looking at the sheer number of Yu-Gi-Oh comments in regards to the trophy malarkey and…yeah, someone in charge of that idea has got to be a weeb…and not in a GOOD way.

I've seen this referenced numerous times in the LRRsphere, but never known the origin.
@@daverapp Jacob also asked about this on last year's Desert Bus. Title of the video is "DB2023 - Jacob asks Why Teeth?"

I have been playing pokemon sleep since launch.
You do have to leave your phone unlocked and in bed with you, but that wasn't a problem for me because I always fall asleep in a discord call with my boyfriend.
It has helped me sleep better, just a littlemore incentive to go to bed on timeand all haha, it's a fun little idle game.
Great writing
This was a fucking great episode! Keep up the great work
Wow there's all sorts of salt that is trying to be stirred up in that tournament scenario.
Wait, 9:40 that background art is from League of Legends!
Not all of it, technically, just strategically placed popular characters that might get people to play the very popular mobile game.
"Pokemon Sleep" sounds more like a Dark City sequel than The Shining. "Sleep... Now..."
"...a wildly in-salting thing to say" while showing a box of Saltines... heh.
Beej, my kid says you're a Sigma, so you have officially connected with "the youth"
I'm now requesting LRR to stream themselves playing Pokemon Sleep!
