Ep. 249 - bringing the DS to the show [VIDEO]

One of the writers for cyberpunk said he heard choom from an Austrailian friend. So it was already a slang word for a very small group of people.

I am so thanksful that Lol does not take gambling sponsors. Give me that Rebull Baron pwoer play, or Pagoda moment, or Master card money check, or whatever idc as long as they can stay operational without taking the gambling money

i dont want to sound cocky but no i am not tapped in on buffcorrel and yes im 16 and wear baggy jeans

I don’t think the Digicam trend is annoying. The look that these small digital camera look better and more natural than phone cameras do.

nova episode

this ep made me realize that radio shows would slap nowadays

I don't get sick but I get uneasy and disoriented in games locked to low FOV

Dramamine is a game changer if you get motion sickness from games or any else, I feel like a chud taking it to play games but it does the job.

woah i was the guy that made the producer tag post!

CRT comment so real bro, im in aus and like just got into melee last year (thanks largely to yall) and they are just SO expensive like 400 aud minimum for a tiny little shitty one. I just wanna play melee how god intended, wcyd.

buffcorrell covered geese and it reminded me of why i love his videos

lovely breakdown

Aiden might have the lowest screen time in this preem compared to any other ep

Never have I felt more autistic than when I watched the mentalist (for the first time...) and saw Teresa for the first time n just went "omg the patient from the dr house pilot episode"

The uber eats dota donkey that takes a pic after delivering your items

is it right to say that describing someone as "performative" in this manner is the same as how we used to call people "posers"?

Meek was locked up but then lost all street cred losing his rap beef to drake

Not to sound like a console war chud, but everyone knows owning an Xbox is more cuck because the amount of Xboxs I’ve seen in living rooms being used as a Netflix machine outnumbers the PS4’s and 5’s.

Great Ep

I think a lot of the cringe-ness of these kinds of things hinge on the fact that niche subcultures are sold by some enjoyers for internet clout so it kind of stops anything from reading as genuinely niche. It’s like you can’t escape the performance, or at least self awareness of the performance because the culture itself is (or feels/seems to be) much more aware of performing uniqueness across the board as a way to stand out. With standing out from others being a highly sought after and valuable thing. I went to photo school, made work on digicams throughout college and then right at the end the compact camera boom happened that you guys are describing it. So on the one hand I agree with some of the frustrations slime and nick seem to be getting at but I appreciate too that at some point I also had to get into a new thing and so the timing of it doesn’t necessarily mean the conformity that is maybe easy to assume. Which i guess on the whole I’d want to avoid assuming so that I don’t think everyone is a bloodless goblin

to slime's point on enjoying media pre-2023, the part that i dislike the most is simply not trusting/doubting whether what i'm consuming was made by humans or made by a machine making something it derives humans will like. I get this most often with pictures, always been an avid birder and would see so many awesome wildlife photos online. but now instead of admiring a cute photo of a bunch of birds on a branch together, i now feel a need to critique each photo to determine if it's real or not. that added step of verifying the reality of online things is frustrating. instead of just throwing something on to watch, I now feel the urge to make sure a true real alive creative human made it. and it 100% goes both ways, I've dismissed human creativity because it ticked too many of my internal 'that's AI' boxes and vice versa.

Yo can we bump up the volume on the patron episodes. The YouTube pod is loud enough for me to listen on my phone during work but the patreon is too quiet

Sorry, I busted in my dads hand. Is the challenge invalid? Should I hit a redo?

Was a big fan of buffcorrell’s dance cover rendition of Giant Steps

Free lil shine

Listening to both The Yard and M2AF, you truly understand the scope of the "bust in yo hand challenge". #bustinyohandchallenge #notjustmondays #alldayeveryday

I guess I kind of fell for the old camera thing by buying a small digital camera to take on vacations. But honestly I get them developed with the timestamps and I like the way the photos look. If the photo has my friends in it I'll give them copies as gifts

The old tech one was interesting to me, because I think there's a 4th person. Someone who has a good reason to use old tech, but is also very pretentions about it. I need to bring an mp3 player into my job, because they have metal detectors at the doors, and I want to listen to my podcasts. Other people find ways to sneak their phones through bag checks but I'd rather consistently just walk right through. However I'm also very performative about it at the same time. My ego loves whenever anybody notices and mentions it.

its bust on your 3ds screen and close the clamshell monday

CORRELL B MENTION IN 2026 🔥🔥🔥 he’s still got it baby

something becomes performative when you do it again because you didn’t get people to react the way you wanted to, or if you quit for that reason as well

I wanted an ipod to play music for like ever because my dad had one when i was growing up and i just graduated college and my parents got me an apple watch which was baller and i got spotify on that thing and it’s just better in every way and has bluetooth

slime making fun of choom makes me want to see the guys do a Yard TTRPG Cyberpunk Red show

Can’t keep paying for the preemo for a bit so this was a great episode to send off episode for me, thanks gang, hopefully will come back in a bit :)

newest season of always sunny was so good

Growing up in a poor family I always interacted with older tech because I was the youngest of 4 siblings and used hand me downs (I'm 20). I was playing a Gameboy SP my older brother had when he was 10 when everyone else was playing a 360, a Wii and DS lite when my friends had Xbox Ones, etc. Now I'm noticing how performative my apartment looks even though I love these things from genuinely interacting with them because I have a DS lite, PSP, and Wii with a CRT setup. Now I'm seeing a couple of my friends get into things like DS's, old digital cameras, and wired earphones+ipods and it has left such a bad taste in my mouth and has almost given me a new sense of shame for loving this stuff.

my two cents on the convo about using old tech now, back when digital was new people still did home film development. it would be trivial, cheaper, and better quality to just shoot digital or even bring the film to a developer but they would rather set up a dark room and dodge and burn their stuff manually. if you asked them why they probably would say something about having more control but in reality i think it was more about being more mindful of the process. feeling more like you made the end product and liking the end result because you worked for it more. Back when box cakes were new all you had to add was water and the sold like shit because housewives of the time felt like they couldn't say they "made" the cake, in response Betty Crocker take out the milk powder and eggs and tells you to put it in yourself and suddenly people feel like it was a shortcut but they still made the cake. In an age when a quick line of text can make you any image you want, fighting with the annoyances of yesterdays digital cameras makes you feel like YOU really made the picture. Also to Slime's comment about how bad he would have wished to ahve spotifiy, I would have killed for AI image gen back 15ish years playing dnd with my friends, being able to have a real picture of what our characters looked like would have been so cool, but with that option today I would rather poorly draw it myself, for me ( an many others) using the thing is as much part of the process as the end goal

I bought a modern MP3 player and some wired headphones because I just got sick of Spotify putting my money into AI murder robots and I just thought it would be fun and it's been a really fun change. Sometimes I miss the convenience of having everything at once and not just my curated library but it keeps me off my phone and encourages me to actively go looking for new stuff, not just whatever the algorithm thinks I wanna hear next. Do I have it on a lil carabiner that hangs off my jeans? Maybe! But it's fun and I like it and that's all I care about

I think a big part of people adopting more retro and vintage technology is to try and escape the inherent evil that is our phones

It’s funny that when lud isn’t on, they go all philosophical

Great episode. I love Nicks insight on trends.

Im 20 ive never heard of buff carell

Love that Nick is bringing up the Mentalist again. Check out Monk! It's very similar humor and another show that's like the Mentalist and Psych.

I know that not all of Charlie work was a 1 shot but I'm pretty sure the scene from when the truck/inspector arrive until she leaves actually was just 1 shot unless I've been incorrectly informed by my kind of homeless father

Buff Correll segment put me in the wormhole. One of the first Twitter accounts I followed back in 2017 as a teen. I may not be the Baggy Jean laden cool zoomer that Nick was talking about, but to answer his question: it being brought up on the pod is like the Ratatouille flashback

jane remover mentioned

Specifically about the ds at the gex concert, i think that it’s no different than just taking a photo. It’s performative no matter what you just chose to express yourself in a way that feels unique to you, but we’ve all seen it 100 times on x the everything app. I think that what makes it icky is that the person taking their ds out probably feels unique, and you see them failing at that.

we were 100% saying free meek

The whitest white guy conversation of all time

any of my philly/nba yardigans remember the absolutely electric playoff game in '18 where meek mill was flown directly to the stadium from prison in a helicopter? that was insane

Even if you donate your all your rugpull proceeds your good deed balance remains negative since the scam organisers take money from the scam's victims. Your system isn't closed so your math doesn't add up.

What Nick says about language is actually typically the opposite the R word was a medical term before it became a derogatory word. But his point is still correct that new terms that we use could be turned into the derogatory words or slurs for groups

resident evil 2 sucha banger game

Akonda Forever

cyberpunk sucha banger game

gen z here. i do know of and love buff correll outside of the show. but then again i watch the yard so im probably not in the cool baggy jeans demographic nick spoke of.

watch shiftless

When they mention the time, I imagine that’s what it must feel like to hire a sex worker

they found a woke version of "how much would you suck a dick for"

if we woulda seen what bobby shmurda has been up to we woulda never said to free him

as a mf who has a modded ipod and shitty digital camera, I use them both every single day and leave my phone at home. I really hate my phone, and yeah this shit looks cool rn, but I also just fw it and want to use my phone as little as possible.

Cyberpunk slang is awesome and it makes the world more immersive and distinctive

The amount of performative “old school” thrash metal and black metal bands make me want to jump off a building omg. They always copy the same bands too

The amount of people that use the cyberpunk slang irl is concerning

I bought Buff Correll merch and he never sent that shit hahaha

deadlock nigh shift has the similar thing of sponsors being in the game. The Trolli gummy worm mid boss

underscores mentioned ! i love her music

Skull girls is the first game that gave me motion sickness.

Holy shit please god make that skit about two people arguing in a venue louder than the music please!!!

aiden get a steamdeck doc bro no need for steam machine <3

aiden is beautiful dude idk when he locked sad at the cam i got butterflies a lil bit

Patreon comments so this Will never be seen but re: the Always Sunny discussion - Slime is NOT Charlie. Y'all have the dynamics ALL wrong. This is not sexist it's just truist - QT is Dee and Lud is Mac not just "because they dating" think about the on vs off screen dynamics! Beyond that who has pursued more corporate paychecks? Extending that on/off screen analogue... Charlie is Aiden, the most normal guy playing it up for the camera because that's genuinely fun 😊 Slime is Dennis, watch a Glenn Howerton interview and tell me this isn't true. This leaves my beautiful boy Nick who is in fact Danny Devito. He's on a different artistic level and wants to play with his friends.

Why did nick make me imagine faze banks with a digital cam?

me soyjacking at the screen when the guy that plays omar in the wire was in that episode of the sopranos

I just upgraded to tier 3 and how do they get my address for the cards and dnd minis?

hope some of you didnt forget biyhm

The Gang Gets Analyzed is probably my favorite episode of any show ever, my friends and I will quote it and end up reciting the entire episode because it's just perfect

I'm 19, graduated hs last year so I was / am the target audience for the old tech nostalgia stuff, But honestly I just thought a lot of it was cool because it opened my eyes to how the tech could actually be interesting. Nick mentioned how he already had some older digital cameras and thought they were cool and then saw them become popular. I kind of experienced it in reverse, they blew up and all my friends had one and then I just ended up thinking they were really neat from a tech and photography standpoint. I found an old digital camera I was gifted as a kid and found it pretty fun to start taking photos again, in a way it felt more detached from social media because it had to be so much more deliberate to go post what you took. I think 80% of the photos I took on it were on walks by myself and photos I never posted anywhere just because I thought they looked prettier. Idk, I think I dislike the sentiment that it's guilty as performative until proven otherwise. I don't think is really fair especially when it's already so hard to be authentic. I'd hate to be the girl who wants to take a group photo with my silly camera and get shut down and made fun of for larping or whatever.

i never miss a bust in your hand monday

the line with regard to using old tech is when people i don't like do it, it's cringe and trying too hard, but when people i like do it, it's cool and natural, this is pretty much how everyone feels about it realistically

yall sound like youre operating on the belief that these interests are always performative until proven real. its the kind of thing that I think makes it difficult to be sincere about the things we like, wether thats old tech, old media, etc because youre starting interactions fighting uphill to share something, when many people actually just like this stuff. even the 22 year old who picks up a digital camera on a whim might discover something about themself, regardless of if they were following The Trend, their curiosity, or their boredom if you assume wrong, its shitting on someone whos shared something authentic, and if you assume right, what then? i think a lot of people get caught in the crossfire when were so immediately distrustful in this way hinders our ability to connect with each other imo

0:01 actually its bust in yo hand month!!!! dont forget about july YALLLLLLL... only real ones know

I was just at a Deftones show the other day and that’s the most DS’ I’ve seen in one place in recent memory. There were plenty of digital cameras there too but to their credit I don’t remember seeing anyone take a photo through the photo.

Meek was locked up. His Wikipedia legal issues section is worth a read tbh.

free pooh shiesty

I wish there was more about djzmade online hes so fascinating

The streets need sanch on as a guest while he’s in LA

I really don't like when people use old tech just got the conversation. But there's a lot of use for it when you want to make or experience art in a different way without putting that much work in. Like for example: using an old camera to get a different looking picture without needing to edit it. You could just take a picture with your phone and put a filter on or something, but it's more fun to have a separate camera dedicated to that look
