Speaker: All right. How are we looking? Sound test good? Yep. I think it's working pretty well on my side. We can test yours too, but. La, la, la. Yeah. Why not? Not peeking? Yeah, it's, it's coming up. We're getting like negative six or so. I think that's basically good. All right. Oh, sit there. Do you want to bring up the notes? Yeah. Let's just grab this. We're doing forces week. Uh, we did force last week. Did we not apply anything for this week? I thought we had something else. We usually do.
Speaker: Ah, shit. Um, hmm. Oh, we can wing it. We can do a free form episode. Maybe we might have to, but I feel bad. Yeah. No, let's just plan something for next week and we'll just wing it. Okay. Okay. Yeah. They'll focus. They'll deal with it. Focus. All right. To start us off in three, two,
Speaker: How's it going, everyone? Welcome to another episode of Soapstone. My name is Jake. I'm joined by my co -host is always Dave. How's it going, Dave? It always impresses me that you remember that intro. I know I don't do it, but the fact that you do it every time is like I mean, granted, it's practice. Yeah. But every time it's like once a week, we do this and I immediately forget. I would be I would be remiss if I misrepresented myself a little bit here. There are times I'm just kind of like in the car and I'm like,
Speaker: do I remember it properly and I say it with the same like intonation and pacing and then thankfully no one else around because yeah people would realize I'm a weirdo but just to make sure I still have it right like it doesn't just drift out of memory you could work in like a call center customer service because you got that shit down boy that's all I'm saying I've had that I've had like several jobs where it was important for me to have like
Speaker: not like a script, but answer the phone consistently and professionally. So it's it's there. It's there. But that's basically what this episode is about. I think we're going to talk about call centers there. Not really. They raise the eyebrows. I briefly was I was in a call center for a day. Oh, really? Because I worked for PPL. I worked for their internal stuff. So everything we made was applications for the business. Right.
Speaker: And part of that was we spent some time with people on the call center saying like, hey, what is your day to day? What do you do? What things could be improved upon? What do you hate about your job? Not in so many words, but it's like, what could be improved? Like if we were designing an application to help what you do, what do you do? And so I was on there for, I said a day, it's like four hours. Yeah. I mean, that's part of a day. I think that basically works out.
Speaker: a whole 24 hours leave the building oh man yeah i think that uh from what i've heard call center is basically the uh the least well -received job i think like it's it's there's not like a tier list where you're like well if you're in a call center you may enjoy your job or it might be slightly bad it's always been like
Speaker: Dante's Inferno basically for your quality of life. It's Nobody wants to get a cold call. Yeah, as far as I know Maybe some people like fucking my lonely. Yeah, I would love an ad for a time share some other shit We have to deal with those like I have to deal with those a lot more now that I'm Employed and I guess my information's on like LinkedIn and stuff but oh, yeah like just a lot of spam calls and I feel bad cuz like I
Speaker: I want to execute human decency against other people, whatever, but that's just playing into what they want. They're going to get you to acknowledge that the call has been picked up and then immediately launch into their spiel because they know that you just want to say, no, thank you, and they don't give you the opportunity. I'm just like, ah.
Speaker: Yeah, I picked up the one day it's pretty uncommon that I do if I don't recognize the number i'm like Fuck off or leave a voicemail. We'll talk later. Yeah Uh, so I got the call after shits and giggles. I think I was in a line for lunch at the cafe I was checking out and I was expecting a call from somebody else. I didn't know the number
Speaker: And they're like, hey, they started talking to me about all this stuff, and they just kind of kept going. And it was apparently about being able to sell off timeshare. Like, are you tracking a timeshare type thing? You got the actual timeshare. And I just kept going with this person, like, what are you talking? Like, I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. I figured it wasn't for me. But I'm like, what are you talking about? And they were like, talking about this. I'm like, all right. And I just hung up. I'm like, this isn't for me.
Speaker: They literally obfuscated the purpose of the call so well and trying to sell it Yeah, yeah, well thing is my number is on my grandparents phone plan and I Think I got the phone from them. So I think it's still listed as My grandfather's name. I don't know. Okay, awesome. Like I have some other people So a lot of people be like hello someone might sign up or like that's not the right number, right? I
Speaker: Because it's never like hey, uh, here's some important information for This person whether it be medical financial or anything like that Because it's an old number and he's updated his shit because he's not dumb Yeah, but they're still like can we sell you stuff in the same way? Like I get mail for whatever previous 13 residents lived here
Speaker: It's not sometimes not even addressed to the person. Mm -hmm. It's just like resident of resident of this address our neighbors Thanks, you're like, all right. I don't know. Mr. Rogers, but okay, like I feel like I get the most mail from Geico and Capital One. Yeah with like I
Speaker: Hey, we got that credit card for you. I'm like, fucking really? I didn't know you guys did that. That's so cool. Got that on lock. Oh, God. You can do a credit check. We'll see if you have this on lock. Yeah, I don't really trust phone calls most of the time. It's spam 90 % of the time, and 10 % is meaningful. And the meaningful ones will call back. So it's like, hey, I don't know. If I don't know it, ignore it.
Speaker: Yeah, and also for our day and age, that's not how we communicate with people. Mm -hmm It's like oh, are you on Facebook? Are you shooting me an email for something? Are you on discord? Yeah, like at least a text or something, right? Like there's a way to contact me that means That's more accessible than a phone call for sure. Yeah, I never pick up on the first ring unless it's just like This is the FBI
Speaker: I'm glad you have the numbers saved, guys. FBI. Right. Well, you know, sometimes you do some anonymous work for that. Well, I wouldn't be anonymous. My story fell apart immediately. But yeah, that's our call center story, I think. So good episode quality. If you guys want to reach out to us now, just kidding.
Speaker: This is kind of an episode we're just talking about, whatever, if that's not blatantly obvious. Like how we haven't mentioned the game yet. Yeah. So Ramble Rumble is not a game. So it's hard to make up stuff about it. I like when you start into something and then you immediately back out.
Speaker: Yeah, i've done that for like um, uh, competitive games or like mobas stuff like that. You're just like, all right Night's the night is young. Let's get into comp and then you're just like wait What about my emotional state and cancel queue up for something casual? Oh, I was gonna immediately jump into the joke of like jake is literally just the tip It's like no, honestly, that's plenty for me. Thank you so much And we're out of here
Speaker: Yeah, that's a little more into the innuendo side, but How's uh, how how's the week been going? How's how's life in the life of dave life according to dave? Yeah, the week has been pretty good work hasn't been too soul -crushing. It's a good place to be
Speaker: And part of that is like, I'm on my way out. So like, how much are they really going to rely on me for things? A nice weird respite, I guess. It's not like, uh, Hey, here's like, you know, like a stack full of paperwork that you're going to have to take care of it. I know that you don't really deal with paperwork. I'm keeping things vague. Right. You're just like, here's the thump thing that'll take a month to complete. Oh, it doesn't make a lot of sense in this context. Yeah, no. Um.
Speaker: I know weeks. Honestly been pretty decent. Yeah. I know you're looking at apartments because you showed me the apartments. Yeah. So it's like hoping to find something with a little more space. What I have now. Yeah. But still have a cool. I want to be able to host parties vibe because I know that I know you like hosting party. It's not like I do with that off. Like it's Halloween and.
Speaker: I really just want to have more people and like, hey, I'm going to cook, come hang out, grab a drink, bullshit with me a little bit type thing. But yeah, I really can't complain about the week too much.
Speaker: It could be nice to have like a big life event change every, every decade or so. You're just like, all right, we're mixing this up dramatically. Maybe half a decade ago. A pencil and some heart attacks. All right. Loss of limbs. Now I will appreciate what I have or whatever.
Speaker: I feel like when you're sick, you're like, fuck, man, once I'm healthy, I'm gonna praise the son, praise Jesus, and whatever. Praise anything, honestly. Whatever made me healthy. But then like day two, you're like, yeah, that's my fucking thought body. Finally, that Western medicine you've learned your lesson.
Speaker: Yeah, you kind of like reacclimate to normal. The injustice in it is like you can't acclimate to being sick. Your body is never like this is fun. You know, like it's always you're always miserable. You get like a day of euphoria where colors are brighter and birds are chirpier. Yeah. And then then it just becomes normal again. Standard monotone drab birds.
Speaker: The birds aren't even cheap. They're just like... The birds are sick now. They're just kind of like exhaled. It's not like a wheeze. Their lungs aren't tight. They're not congested. They're not filled with phlegm. It's just... Oh my gosh. That'd be great if you go through...
Speaker: Like a street that has like let's say like somewhere like downtown New York like you're fucked on a pigeons or something And none of them are like cooing. It's just all They're just like smoking They're all just like breathing loudly like what the fuck. Oh my god Yeah, so basically that It's that I'm still kind of feeling I'm a little bit on the the euphoria high of not being sick because being sick sucked and
Speaker: Yeah, like I you're we've been going for about 10 minutes and you haven't coughed. Yeah half of it about calls Yeah, usually you've just been going nuts. Yeah, like let's say Definitely a month ago last two weeks. You've been getting progressively better. Yeah, thankfully cuz I was really pissing me off I'm glad to feel that you're doing doing better cuz I was also before you were
Speaker: like a month before you were even sick. I was sick for like two months. And I'm like, nice. Yeah, it's kind of funny, actually. I was looking at some mail that I had gotten before attending here because I had to go to like Urgent Care for some meds and stuff. I'm like, this will probably mostly be covered by insurance.
Speaker: you should really establish those things like when you when you go there it was like 160 bucks per visit and then two times both me and my wife went and then i went three times and i'm like oh yeah that's actually money
Speaker: So why are you going to? Urgent Karen says prices Yeah, fucking primary can prescribe you shit. Yeah, it's probably good. I didn't have a primary in that case like I have I Visited a person that was like, okay, you can be my primary and then I never went again I know I assume you won't go to the same place that myself and your wife go to I did But I just say like you are my that's all you have to do. Yeah it's like it doesn't have to be Facebook official you just say like I
Speaker: This is my primary doctor. They're like, I guess I'm their primary. That's it. Basically the, the, my kind of litmus test for determining whether I have a primary or not is like, can I remember the name of my primary if asked who my primary dude, I've, I've been to some stuff and they're like, who's your primary doctor? I'm like, I don't know their name, but like, this is the company or like the building they're at because I would always see like the nurse practitioner, not an actual doctor. And the one time I saw an actual doctor, he was very,
Speaker: Shit at his job Like he was just going through a fucking checklist like because this is a yearly checkup Yeah, and he's like do you smoke do your drink? Do you wear your seatbelt when you draw it and like they just sigh? Are you sexually active I just started lying at a point some like get me it was at the are you sexually active? Yes But it was just it wasn't doing anything at a point yeah, I'm like I
Speaker: All right, I don't, this isn't, like we're just checking off the boxes literally. Yeah. So I'll get out of here and I won't do this for you. Thanks. You don't think they're like building out a graph where it's like, all right, this year for his checkup, he said that he does smoke last year. He said he didn't smoke. So that's bad. And then like, they like look for discrepancies where they're like over a 10 year period, you smoked half of these years. You know, it's, it's a useless kind of question, I guess.
Speaker: Because what are they going to do, judge you? They're just going to be like, don't do that. Because that's on health care. They're like, hey, do you ever smoke? And I'm like, sometimes. And they're like, you should probably smoke less. I'm like, fucking really? I didn't know that shit. Thanks for opening my eyes. But there's always the possibility that they're just like, what do you smoke? I mean, like, I know a guy who's like, open the lab coat. Got some options. Do you like menthols? Or like, what's your deal? Yeah. Yeah. But the nurse practitioner there, I will say, I really do like her.
Speaker: Acme health co is I think where we make up Say the name it's funny if you make up I mean you use the real name Acme health co All right, so is that Acme health go yeah, um speaking to nurse joy But I remember the one time I
Speaker: I had I had some like minor Skin irritation on my penis. Okay, and so if you want to go I don't care It wasn't anything. It's all right. We had we always like explicit. It's probably just like
Speaker: I don't know, some small degree of skin irritation, but I didn't know what it was and I wanted something to just treat it and be done with it, right? Don't act like you have a perfect dick, Jake. So anyway. I haven't ever admitted that I don't. That's the key.
Speaker: Please submit your questions about Jacob's dick in the comments below. So anyway, I was there and I wanted to ask her about the thing, but it was also like bring your kid to work day. And so like when she came in, she's like, Hey, like we have our kids here because it's bring your kid to work day. Do you care if I have like my daughter in the exam room at the same time? And I'm like,
Speaker: No And then afterwards I'm like, by the way, I have to ask you a question about this one thing uh -huh and she's like gotcha Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna like interrupt for a second and just be like Dave. Are you gonna admit to a felony?
Speaker: Doctor patient confidentiality never happened Yeah, that doesn't exist. I don't think that exists. I mean it does to a certain extent like your private care stuff is Covered but not to the extent of other legal professionals Like if you're at risk of hurting yourself or if you've committed a crime I think depending on what you've done doctors have to report it. Yeah So does it seem for like psychiatrists? I
Speaker: I'm pretty pretty sure it might be it. They probably have different photographic standards Psychiatrists can prescribe and psychologists cannot I always forget that distinction I talked about it once every two years that sounds right because psychiatry would be Would be therapy and like Actually treating things psychology would be the study of the mind psychology a lot of times goes into psychiatry or like another field
Speaker: Okay, it was like an advanced discipline. I thought usually psychology went to uh, I mean you had to go back to school Anything with your four -year degree. Yeah. Yeah that that too sometimes But that's disheartening because what I liked about our major is you hit the ground running acme computer degree But like so many people I knew like a handful of people from our school who like
Speaker: Pardon? I don't know how I triggered the, I won't say her name in the background. Right. Acme home monitoring system. Acme Amazon Echo Dot.
Speaker: But yeah, like a lot of people we knew like went into psychology and I'm like, okay, like, what do you do when you graduate? They're like, I'm going back to school. I was like, all right, see you. And like a lot of them still are not working. Yeah. Or if they are working, it's in a capacity still for another degree. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, which I would have killed myself by now. That's nuts. It is a lot of commitment. Like anybody going to like a PhD or something equivalent or like advanced schooling. I have a lot of respect for those people because like I just don't have the discipline for it. It's like I just want to like I wanted to.
Speaker: have some friends, get some schooling, get a degree, go make money, basically, and then fund my podcast addiction. It's basically how it broke down. But it took me many years actually to cash in on the podcast addiction.
Speaker: You were in the closet for a while, I must say. Just literally recording up against coats. Darren Korb style. Yeah. But, you know, it's really tough and it's tough in the U .S. I know this is like a slightly weirder topic than just our usual games, but like, like depending on where you go for student loans, it can get crazy expensive.
Speaker: Especially like if you get like roped into a private institution or for -profit school like good luck You're gonna owe like hundreds of thousands of dollars by the time you're done And it's one of two types of debt as I used to like work at bankruptcy and stuff like that two types of that they can't be Exempted or it can't be discharged during bankruptcy that and whatever you have the IRS those are the two types of
Speaker: That's nuts and like I know I don't we're getting on the whole like the state of the United States Yeah, I know like we literally have like gaming news and a quick aside quick aside Yeah, we'll have like this point and they're just like boom intermission like right in the middle Not really though. It's It's weird how like it's pushed so much
Speaker: As far as like when you grow up, it's how many people are gonna be in your family because you're gonna have kids I'm gonna have two and a half kids. I'm gonna be white. I'm gonna make a middle income salary college And that's just like what you grow up in Yeah, and then people like no, I got my ged and I've been like working and doing the shit like why don't need this college degree? I'm like, oh I didn't need that. Yeah. I mean I could have done something else. Um
Speaker: I'm good where I'm at currently. Pardon me, always. Switching jobs. I'm very satisfied. But I mean, for what I do, I don't dislike it to the point where I'm going to have my midlife crisis and just start trying to sell my food to people, type of thing. You can fund your vices, basically. Yes, very true.
Speaker: But it's always, where are you going to college? Where are you going to college? Where are you going to college? And if you don't go to college, you're like, oh, you can go work at McDonald's.
Speaker: Yeah, like but other people have fucking jobs and careers and do other shit. Yeah, and also you don't want everybody to have a Six figure you don't want them to all be rocket scientists, which is like that vague nebulous Yeah, there are what none of you are actually gonna do this type term. There are not actually any real life rocket scientists I don't think it's a thing. I don't think it's a real science. Jacob fake science
Speaker: Yeah. There's a big push for that, definitely. And so you kind of get hit by both sides. It's like, you have to go to school, have to get a degree, and also you are going to have to pay a lot of money for it. Unless you luck out and your parents were born rich or you managed to land a bunch of scholarships or something like that.
Speaker: But like, let's say for the company that we work at now, as far as ACME Company Co. I was going to say Company Co. because it's doubling up on Company Co. How about Manko? Manko? Oh my gosh. We'll make it slightly game -referenced. Superval. They don't fucking own that. Yeah, and people literally made a game about Gordon Freeman and they didn't. Good. It was on Steam, I think. Get out of here, Gabe. Where was it going with this? We work at Company Co.
Speaker: Yeah. And I don't think that as far as hiring, they've ever been like, Oh, they went to a community college versus like this certain level of prestigious school. Yeah. They don't give a shit. I think they did want a degree. I think that was, that's the minimum.
Speaker: true it could be a first degree second degree third degree third degree burns um over 99 percent of my body like a lot of those things um it it doesn't matter yeah
Speaker: And a lot of it is also like, I don't know if it's great to say or not, but it's like who you know. Like one of the biggest things for me as far as what I got out of school was a social web that enabled me to like find somebody who I could rope into doing a podcast with. Also, hello, good job connections. Hello. And I mean, obviously friends, everything like that. That was
Speaker: Mean I can I consider that kind of like a bargain, you know a couple tens of Acme bucks thousands of Acme bucks later. You're like I've basically got a friend group set up for life unless I move and oh, yeah, we will immediately And you know got a job and we can start paying down the Acme bucks but Yeah, that's life For context
Speaker: Jake moved here from another state when you were in your early 20s Uh, yeah, I moved here when I was 19 early 20s negative 1 1
Speaker: So you didn't know anybody coming over outside of Jenny at the time. Yeah. And then you lived here. And then I think it was in college, you started meeting like a ton of people because of the major. Yeah. And you just you interact with people in your major and other shit. Yeah. And I don't know if you guys know the major, but like once he's got you in drill practice, it's just like he's he's going to introduce you to people. That's how it goes.
Speaker: It's a joke. I'll let you pick up from that while I take a sip of my scotch. Yeah. So, uh, you mean ACME branded club soda? No, we don't. We have some standards. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, that's life.
Speaker: That's that's about it school. This is when I know that Jake's like feed me a top. Yeah, I'm like this freeform Lances to the right at the screen. I'm doing that every 30 seconds I know but I'm actually most the time I'm looking over I'm looking at the so we got new we got new audio hardware This isn't even like oh god. Here's 10 minutes. It isn't even on the thing I'll keep it relatively short, but we each have our own mics now as opposed to sharing a blue Yeti We have two audio tight Technica condenser mics and to the focus right
Speaker: I set our 2i2 audio interface which is like nice it is though it is nice like I can't actively hear the recording going on it's the first time using this setup yeah but when we're testing things before
Speaker: That's fucking nice. That's real nice and Hopefully it packs up better. Hopefully the audio quality is better I feel like someone's gonna get to like 23 minutes and be like sounds the same. Oh reevaluate their opinion of it, but
Speaker: Yeah, that's uh, i'm excited for it It's cool. We can also kind of see each other now before we had like a single microphone directly in the center Granted jake's taller than me, but not well sitting down I know i'm saying like when we're sitting down our mouths are on the same height So we'd have it like let's pick up on either side, but it'd be like in between us So i'd maybe like lean to the side if I needed to make eye contact to like convey a point or something
Speaker: That's how I knew that I was in trouble with my topic, is I feel like leaning to the side, I got like the eye, the evil eye. Occasionally I'll tap my wrist, like, check for time. I'm like, you don't even have a watch, what are you doing? If I want to give you the double fingers, I'm like, fuck you, Jake. The default stance.
Speaker: Oh my gosh, yeah, that's why there's always that joined by my co -host as always Dave Dave this time for now We'll see oh Yeah, but let's jump into you pick one from the list
Speaker: One of the topics from the list. I'll let you pick anyone. Anyone you want. So coming off of the exciting topic of audio, the exciting topic of new Overwatch hero, Van Tiest, you knew it was coming. I did. They finally kind of teased
Speaker: a hero that was the most prominently featured in the teasing document was like a piece of paper basically they mentioned Baptiste they said he was like a medic had great aim whatever and everyone was like every time they've done this in the past it's somebody else like they just they'll name someone drop information about them and then it's somebody else
Speaker: Like before Doomfist came out, it was the one, er, before Arisa came out, it was like some girl raising Effie, like some young female researcher who was like good with robotics. Like, Oh, her? Yeah. It's like, just kidding. Are we going to play as a, uh, as like a 10 year old?
Speaker: Cuz that's gonna cause some problems This is a war crime So real quick real quick aside related. Yeah when I was playing Metal Gear Solid 5, uh -huh one of the early missions is like cuz it'll say like Like it's a movie credits. Mm -hmm. Like who's in this episode? Starring, right? Yeah
Speaker: And one of the things was child soldiers and I was like, Oh shit. So I was, it was like a night mission. I was sneaking up into a bunker and there was like, I could tell there's a bunch of people in there and I was like, you know, be it great if I could take them all out at once. Yeah. So I just, I got up close, got the angle, just lobbed in a little grenade.
Speaker: Fucking got him boys. He's gonna get like six. Yeah, that's efficiency. Yeah, you like bust out the cigar Already I already had the cigar in scotch. You're already good And then I lost the mission because I killed six kids because they were child soldiers and you're not supposed to kill them Yeah, but I had no indication from the outside of the building that they were kids like as a hero mail Miller is just like
Speaker: He's like, Snake, no! Those are your kids. That's pretty much what happened. But I was like, whoops. Got him. Yeah. Yeah. I had a similar story for that mission, actually. Mine was slightly different. I think I identified there were kids early enough. But whenever you started a mission in that game, you could choose to deploy with a vehicle that you had. Yeah. And I found it was advantageous sometimes for the combat missions if I brought a tank. As it turns out,
Speaker: Not so useful for that mission. The tank is not a non -lethal way to deal with the children. What? A new Overwatch hero, Baptiste. So he's a support, so joins the latest support, which was Brigitte. Since then, they've introduced both a tank in the form of Hammond and a DPS in the form of Ashe. So they're kind of doing the rotation coming back.
Speaker: He seems cool. He's uh, he's got like a grenade launcher that has primary fire is a three round burst that Kills people and the right click is he fires out like a healing grenade that pops on impact and it heals people Hopefully hopefully the new miles that because that one a healing grenade. Yeah
Speaker: Fix up the difference between heal and kill. It heals your enemies. That's the twist. Yeah. You can't actually use the healing grenades on yourself by firing at your feet. I've tried it. It would be really useful if you could, but no. And then he has an AOE heal on his shift. That's like a burst. It's not an aura like Lucio's. It's just like nanites into the air. Everybody heals allies and yourself. It's like a burst heal over time. It's not like an instant. It's not like a pop.
Speaker: Exactly. And he's actually got a passive, which all the new heroes seem to have. Something cool. His is if you hold crouch, you'll get this charge meter on the side of your reticule in the center of the screen. And then when you jump, you'll power jump.
Speaker: And it's pretty cool. It's actually really awesome You're just like oh you're chasing after me duck around a corner and then charge and then boom come like see ya But it's really weird to kind of have it on a healer He also has a and vulnerability drone which gives prevents anybody inside the a we from dying allies wise and then a ultimate that amps healing and damage so he's
Speaker: He's got the kit. He's actually pretty cool Mm -hmm. He has a reliance on actually being able to land Left clicks with like the three on burst and I was talking a little bit earlier about how he his gun feels kind of like counter -strike like most of the guns and overwatch are either very forgiving or they're just like pointing click just click the heads but this one like has recoil on the next to the second two shots on the burst so you're just like
Speaker: compensating and like, I don't know. Finally, Jake admits it. Yeah, he's compensating for something. But no, it seems like a solid hero. We'll see what he does. Really interesting combos and things you can pull off with him.
Speaker: I will eventually try him when he's not on PTR because I'm not that hard of an Overwatch fan. I just scrolled down on the Discord when people were talking about Overwatch League. I'm like, that's nice. Whereas I'm writing out analysis bullet points when a new hero comes out talking about synergies and things.
Speaker: Remember when Moira came out and you're like, what's your DPS compared like I'm like, oh Jesus fuck I did have a spreadsheet open I was like comparing her to Winston and I was like, could she survive a duel? She can yeah, she can she can win the one -on -one Yeah, there's more in nuance now, but at launch she can definitely could But anyways, that's the overwatch hero. What have you been cooking?
Speaker: wow that was uh the smoothest segway the segway just turns like 90 degrees that was like a segway down 309 into a wall that's no that's actually like a segway down the fucking the parking lot anywhere nearby 390 meters acme highway yes um
Speaker: So most recently cop carpenters, I think convenience
Speaker: So most recently, as you know, I made, why are you asking me? You already know this. I made some salmon the other day from scratch. I hatched the eggs myself. I put them in a tank. You had like, did you have like a waterfall? They had to like jump up. That's the test that they're ready to. It was a very small one. It's like one of the ones you're going to have on a desk that has like a USB plugin for power. Okay.
Speaker: convenient yeah I always believe this story oh I can I can lie but so the simple recipe is
Speaker: So one of the benefits of divinity two is how broad you can play. Like every time I've played as undead, I love that I can just use my bony fingers to like, Hey, is that a door? Does that door locked? Fucking not locked anymore. I just jam my bony bits into it and then we're good. We're in there. Right. Fingers. Important. Very important. Yes. Like, as you said, uh, yeah, I think the efficiency basically of a free lock pick is really hard to pass up in kind of this traditional adventure game.
Speaker: Yeah, but you still need like a certain level of thievery because there's certain things is based on thievery for like opening those lock chests or doors. Yeah. So I could maybe have like a key that locks everything except for, you know, higher level locks and you're just kind of fucked. Yeah. So I feel like I'm almost forced into playing it that way.
Speaker: it's really it's it's it's kind of awkward to have like a partial level in lock pick where you're just like all right like everything easy medium like those are the chests i've got and then someone else is like i've dumped 13 points into this skill like i can literally do nothing but lock pick you're kind of like infringing upon the party dynamic there i think a little bit
Speaker: Yeah. Is that something you typically went into or did you go more into persuasion or? I feel like I have to in games like this. It's like, if, if they're going to put in the time to write a lot of dialogue and, uh, design a lot of options, you can talk your way out of situations, maybe get like bonus rewards, something like that, uh, as you can in divinity, I feel like you have to at least, you have to play that through at least once, right?
Speaker: Yeah, i'm glad that like you were willing to do it because When I played my character on like the first playthrough I didn't my character was essentially like oi Kant and like it just it always went bad because I didn't get any of the the checks right so in this kind of situation like where my character may go up initiate conversation be negotiating the price of goods the exchange of uh, like services things like that your character sees that as the perfect opportunity to come back behind
Speaker: get the double damage backstab on the now stationary individual that's the thing though one of the things i really like about it is like if things were going bad i could say like hey hey get over here because you can control two separate groups of people yes based on how many players you have
Speaker: And I'd be like mid -dialogue, and they'd be like, all right, have at ye. And I'd be like, I'm pausing the dialogue, get behind him. Put the rogue right behind them. Or there was a fight that we did in a church. And there was like seven guys. I'm like, this is kind of problematic. So we dialogue locked somebody. And then I had somebody else who was strong enough, like used telepathy to move paintings.
Speaker: Giant paintings to like wall this guy in and like you're in the fucking Thunderdome Then we finished the dialogue and then we just beat the shit out of this one guy I'm just imagining a situation where it's like Yes, I accept your duel as we were at ten paces we can begin now But like you never execute that line of dialogue until someone's ready to just like stab the guy immediately I really shouldn't find myself in this situation
Speaker: Yeah, the other thing is the interact with services is fucking nuts so you can be like it's raining man I was right there with you. So you like put out any fires You're like, oh cool And then i'm gonna freeze the water and then people who walk over the water Even if you have an ability that's like a dash ability like I have a charge on warfare So i'm like i'm gonna go in this person and if they're out of physical armor, they get knocked down. Yeah
Speaker: But because I'm going over ice, there's a chance for like every pixel that I get knocked down. I lose my fucking turn. Yeah. And that shit's nuts. Or like, Oh, there's fire. Let me do a wave of poison.
Speaker: There's more fire everywhere. Like every time you add another element into whatever surface, it extends the lifetime of the surface. Interesting. So like for like a combo surface, like you've got a smoke and then you like bless it. So now you have like holy smoke that would extend the duration of the smoke as far as the X is concerned.
Speaker: I feel like any time you add it, it lasts for like another two turns. But what's cool is like, let's say there is water everywhere and you're like, and fire on that shit because you're low health. Now you're kind of obfuscated behind this cloud. So somebody's trying to like target you. They're like, but there's a cloud in the way. I don't know where they are. I hit the smoke monster. Yeah. It lowers their fucking accuracy, which is, it blows my mind.
Speaker: Uh, you take a nice coat of salmon, atlantic anything, uh, just make sure it's fresh and not frozen. Usually frozen stuff kind of comes out tasting a little bit off. Yeah, fishy. Usually is well played. You cocksuck, you're well played.
Speaker: So you take that and you put like a little bit of some type of oil, butter, whatever on the pants, which just doesn't stick. Yeah. Uh, and you add honey bourbon to it and you kind of keep it at a medium, low, low to medium type temperature. And every once in a while you just keep flipping it, let the other side get heat and some more honey bourbon. Uh, the eventual result is you'll have a nice kind of glaze.
Speaker: Yeah as it caramelizes and it'll kind of cook into the fish and that makes a nice nice little bit also I still have some in the fridge. I took some Almonds that I kind of roasted in the pan a little bit of butter. Oh, yeah a little bit of salt More honey bourbon. Yeah, and then I also added some orange zest because I i'm the type of person who buys that i'm like I'll use it in the recipe
Speaker: You don't you don't grind up the oranges yourself like create your own zest I should i'm lazy Just like beat it to a shit and let it dry. Um So I did all that and then put it in the blender to kind of put it down a little more into smaller pieces And then I kind of like sprinkle that over the fish. Oh, yeah. So what you get is like this nice Meaty salmon, but then it's kind of complemented by the
Speaker: sweetness of the glaze you've now made and then you get some of the I hate saying earthy because it's just like a fucking term you put dirt Sprinkle some some mud but like you have like the nice taste of The almonds with it. Yeah, so you have like this texture and flavor variety which I feel like you need at least Two or three things for like a good meal. Mm -hmm
Speaker: Like, I'll still eat like a fucking, not PB &J, but you know. Like, I'll have basic ass food. Like, I'll just eat Chef Boyardee from a can. I don't get a fuck. But when I'm cooking, I want to take it seriously. But that turned out really nice. Just for the record, I feel like PB &J is at least three flavors. You've got the peanut butter, very distinct. The jelly, which probably has some fruity taste, right? And then the bread, which tastes like
Speaker: Bread here's the thing though. Yeah, cuz you'd be like, oh PB &J for me I'm like take that PB &J Put a little bit of butter on the outside by the bread. I do like and toast it like on a pan I don't know about the toast so you know, you know grilled cheese, right? you're familiar like Like as a queen, so can I mansplain grilled cheese to you?
Speaker: I do actually really like grilled cheese and tomato soup. That's one of my favorite dishes. It's the same principle where you take a... See, I didn't just say food thing. Cheese products. Cheese food products.
Speaker: But if you just take a simple thing like that and just put it on pan like I made grilled jelly At least a dozen times. It's really good. That's interesting I've never have like the crispiness of like borderline toes. It's a little softer on the inside. Yeah, but if you like It's the same as like a mountain pie. Mm -hmm pretty much. I don't know what that is
Speaker: mountain pie you have like a little cast iron it's like a sandwich clamp you put a sandwich in it okay and then it clams like you're making a panini you're not pressing it okay but you are like clamping it in iron and then putting that iron in a fire
Speaker: Gotcha. Okay, so it's That's how you cook. It's just called a mountain pie You just have to have a fire fire elemental like at hand for this or you can just toast it on a pan But And then more recently, it was just fucking awesome curry Because a friend gave me like some homemade curry paste. Mm -hmm
Speaker: I was like, fuck you, I'm gonna do that. So... How dare you give me things? Well, the thing is, I'm gonna find something I really like food -wise. I'm like, fuck, I want to learn how to make that at home. Right. Instead of just going out and spending good money. On friends. Fuck them.
Speaker: But I would like to have that skill for myself if possible. Yeah. So I took some basil. I took some parsley and I took some chives, diced them up, added like an array of like probably eight different spices. Zero to seven. What?
Speaker: Acme computer code degree. I sometimes I just kind of like take your puns as like terrible interruptions and just let it let it wash over me. Yeah, I have to I have to get the payoff now because you'll just beat me after the episode's done recording for every interruption. Yeah, I'm gonna take these new audio cables. God, they're gonna leave some more.
Speaker: But basically I made that as the curry paste. And then I took some Trader Joe's or Acme Co coconut milk. Yeah. You put that on a fridge. They're a sponsor. We can use any. Everybody's a sponsor. Don't sue us. You take the coconut milk, you put in the fridge so that the fat will kind of separate from the watery bits of the milk.
Speaker: Yeah. And then I take the fat and I put that out in a pan and you let that kind of cook. And then you start adding in the curry paste. So you have this nice pan of like very aromatic spices and shit. For your branch of yore. Yeah. And then I started adding in chicken. I had cut up and like some snow peas.
Speaker: And that's it. Right. But it tastes fucking good. Sounds pretty good. And I didn't do anything fancy to it. I'm just like these ingredients and like you let heat do the rest. But coconut milk is fucking godsend. It is pretty useful as far as milk is concerned. I mean, I drink the almond milk, but coconut milk is, you know, baking.
Speaker: I still want to cook with you at a point I want to show you some of the basics so you can like surprise your wife Or maybe you'll feed me one day. That's my eventual goal. Yeah, that's a lofty goal I think it's gonna it's gonna take a little while before I'm just like this is a mill worthy of Dave Let's just look it'll be the grilled cheese and tomato soup Campbell's tomato soup. Thank you for sponsoring this
Speaker: but now that sounds a lot better than um i think i think i made a hot dog at some point put it in bun had some ketchup that's pretty good was it a bun or was it bread it was a potato roll i believe okay
Speaker: Think that's my favorite. I think as far as hot dog buns go. I know this isn't like Jake what you cook in segment, but Well, I've ordered fast food and actually for my Acme birthday Jenny made me lasagna, which is my favorite birthday meal and she said she does that annually and
Speaker: Yeah, it's it's like what do you want to eat this time for your birthday and like an eight -year -old? I'm just like pizza. It's always lasagna. Yeah, it's like the same thing So I was I've been kind of regularly consuming actually made like a full pan of it
Speaker: and it's it's freaking delicious it's really good uh she's got that down um but uh yeah that's that's what i've been eating just lasagna every day if you've got a home you're like i'll have some lasagna well what does she do to like what's in it is it just like cheese um shredded shredded beef i believe and some sort of pasta i believe goes into lasagna but in many layers that is
Speaker: Know I'm literally defining lasagna. I think there's like I don't think Jake knows It's like ricotta and you know other standard kind of lasagna things, but it tastes really good and it's better than like Store -bought family size lasagna, which I've had in the past Which is still good, but this is better. So
Speaker: Not to disparage the store bought lasagna. Yeah, I prefer my home cooking like you shared address for the special So is that I know it's like become like your annual birthday meal, but is that your number one thing? It's just my favorite food
Speaker: Yeah, like lasagna like if you went out to a nice italian place, you'd be like what's the lasagna like though? Is that like your metric food? I think like for italian 100 percent. Yeah, yeah, it'd be lasagna For mexican food, it's usually enchiladas I really like enchiladas especially with like the trimmings that you get where it's like, you know rice Beans all of it, you know that you know exactly I didn't know rice and beans were in me
Speaker: Mix it all together and if you can't mix it all together, then like what are you even doing? Yeah, so so like with the crema a little bit. Mm -hmm Yeah, I don't know what that is. But yeah I assumed that that's like I assume I could be wrong. I think crema is like the When you have like a smothered burrito or enchilada, it's what they kind of like drizzle over top. Oh Kind of denying you from picking it up with your hands, right? Yeah, you have the molten sauce. Yeah
Speaker: Yeah, basically that though. Those are probably my favorites, I would say. And like I said, the tomato soup and grilled cheese. The problem is like, this is the real issue, as I become an adult and I become fat, the ratio of like grilled cheese to tomato soup never seems like correct.
Speaker: So if you have like a single grilled cheese sandwich split in half, you're like dipping it in the soup, you're always left over with like a lot of soup, I feel like. Oh yeah, like every time. It's not like you put it in for like a day and you let it soak up. Yeah, it wouldn't be nearly as good. You get it like on the outside and you're like, okay, yeah. But then you're just left with like tomato soup, which is severely diminished without the enhancing qualities of grilled cheese.
Speaker: So you're like, I mean, it's soup, I guess. It's it's still fine. It's better when you're sick. Yeah, the thing is, like, for meals, I don't typically want fine. Mm hmm. Because I'll go through phases where I'm like, yeah, sustenance is fine. Right. I'll just find what's in my fridge and be like, that's enough calories. I won't die. Fuck it. And we're done. You've explained this process. Yeah, I know. You have the binary switch.
Speaker: There are times where it's like, I have a finite number of meals in the day. I want them to not suck. Yeah. Cause I hate when I go to a place and like, Hey, can I have this? And then they give me something else. And that's my meal. And I'm not going to eat for another like five or six hours. Yeah. And if it tastes like shit, that sucks to suck. That's what you have. Right.
Speaker: which is why I'm so skeptical of a lot of delivery places because they'll fuck up your order. That'll be late. It'll be some other thing. Or maybe it's a new place you're trying. It's not what you expected. So you file you would file delivery under sustenance instead of the the prepared kind of.
Speaker: Gourmet sort of I found some good standbys Like there have been a lot of times where I've been decently not sober and ordered a gyro Mm -hmm and a boy was that gratifying? But then there are other times remember the first time ordered like a
Speaker: Buffalo chicken salad from this one place. Acme pizza, wings. We still doing this? The joke run out of steam like so long ago, but. Like I was trying to find lettuce in it because it had that much Buffalo chicken. Yeah. It was like, you know how certain things are kind of like put on a plate and there's like one, one giant lettuce leaf under it for style. Yeah. That's what it felt like for this.
Speaker: And I wasn't disappointed because I like Buffalo Chicken. But at the same time I was like, we need a salad. So it depends. Yeah. I don't know if there's anywhere near here. We've literally been talking about food for a while. There's a, I don't know if there's anywhere near here where I'm like, this is the gourmet food offering. It's always just like, I'm lazy. I'm just like, I'm lazy too. Like, all right. Well, you never want to go out to a restaurant typically, right? Not usually. I mean,
Speaker: Mostly like a special occasion. Yeah, not normally. I like how I keep leaning my chair back and moving away from the mic. Yeah, you're just like, as Dave leaves, dude, you don't go to restaurants. I'm out. I'm sorry. Like, but, uh, but yeah, I mean, there's a couple of places, but it's never like, it doesn't justify the cost for me for the places that we do order from. Yeah. To like.
Speaker: Really really care about it. There's a couple nice places, but there was a back when I lived in a previous location there was a They there was Acme PETA's available and Acme PETA had really good PETA's and they had like these Chicken Caesar's. Yeah, I'm like this is freaking awesome. I
Speaker: like when we moved we ordered said pitas in order to reimburse the uh good friend who helped us move um because you know that's the standard thing food and you know maybe a beverage or something um what beverage yeah a beverage right you're just sitting there just chugging beverages left right and you're like here's a bottle of water it's disani be thankful but um
Speaker: Yeah, no, I don't have any place like that here where I'm just like oh Yeah, we absolutely need that closest things Taco Bell which I'm like addicted to now because it's a good standby They started putting crack cocaine and their tacos. I think is the main reason No, is that is that slander or something? There's a chance I don't have any proof but they might have
Speaker: Probably, you know, probably not as somebody who appreciates good Mexican. Uh -huh. Well, I don't referring to you, right? I don't file Taco Bell under like Mexican food. So it's just like a it happens to be Slightly in that family, but it's just good comfort food. You're like this is good
Speaker: We actually went to Acme Mall nearby. I'm going to start hitting you the next time you say Acme. Dave's going to be like, I need to edit this version because I'm doing a find and replace on the word Acme and just taking it up. They'll just be weird cuts. But they have Mexican place up in the food court. They opened up since the last time we were there.
Speaker: And I had eaten Taco Bell previous in the day. I was like, I actually had this discussion with Jenny, where I was like, it usually I don't want the same kind of food twice in a day. You know, you don't go out for burgers and then go out for burgers. Right. But I don't have that overlap at all with Taco Bell because it doesn't fill the Mexican food slot. I'm just like, I'm going to go get enchiladas, which is not something you get from Taco Bell, really. So anyways, that's the Taco Bell spill. Spiel. Spiel.
Speaker: Do you remember the little Cinnabon balls?
Speaker: Oh yeah. I think I had one that I was like, diabetes as opposed to a soul. Or I had like half a one. It was... It's too much. It has a lot of sugar. I really don't need that much. I like hints of, I like the subtlety, the nuance of certain foods. I hate when things are... I mean, to be fair, when I was younger, loved all that shit. I know I've talked to you about Jolly Rancher soda before.
Speaker: Which they literally liquefied Jolly Rant literally. Yeah, but it was so close like the blue raspberry Jolly Rancher soda. Yeah one of the sweetest things I've ever had
Speaker: But it's so fucking intense. Yeah, I can't do it anymore. Yeah. Even diet sodas, some of them are too sweet. Our Taco Bell started offering a diet Baja Blast recently, which is something that's available in a lot of other ones, but it finally reached ours. And I tried it once, and I was like, this is still, it tastes like
Speaker: pretty sweet it's like it tastes pretty sweet and it doesn't have that like satisfying smooth kind of flavor of normal baja blast yeah they get with all the delicious calories um so i'm like i'm just gonna stick with unsweetened iced tea it's how i realized that i'm becoming old i'm just like that but that candy has like a lot of sugar in it and i was like it's not really gonna it's gonna just give me an upset tummy that's how i know i'm growing up you know i use the word
Speaker: I don't like these nummies from my tummy. I think you're just like me. We're like, Hey, I have dentist bills to pay now. Fuck that shit. Yeah. Not worth.
Speaker: So anyways, that's the food corner. Other stuff that we've got here as we approach the Acme Minute Mark. I was explicitly not saying how far into the podcast we are in case we have to come back and cut stuff. It's gonna be great. Some of this stuff doesn't matter, to be honest. Listeners don't care. Let's pick like one. Pick one.
Speaker: i don't know if i can pick one i'll pick one though i'll pick five after you pick one and just i also feel bad you're like how was your week and i kind of went and explained some of it and i didn't even ask you 35 minutes later
Speaker: How are things going? A general sense. Don't get too personal. Don't give me your dirty laundry. Just tell me you're good. I'm good. Okay, good. Thank you. It's been going pretty fine. I'm actually excited for the audio hardware.
Speaker: It's like, um, I kind of just work on things, uh, at work and I go home and I play games and periodically I record podcasts. And sometimes when I haven't been sick for months, I run D and D and it's kind of like my life, you know, talk to friends, play games and enjoy stuff like that. And like being able to invest in a hobby that like I derive a lot of personal satisfaction out of is rewarding. Um, and I, I enjoy that. It's like.
Speaker: Thankfully, the hobby is very periodic. Like I have gaming, I have the podcast, and neither of those are like, I'm addicted to a like, like class five, triple X, like restricted drug that, you know, you can only acquire from, you know, some third world country or something like that. Or airplane piloting, you know, something else that's really expensive.
Speaker: So I kind of like it's nice to be able to Up the ante a little bit as far as the podcast is concerned That's very meta. What do you on the podcast? What do you like? The podcast Jake don't sell it. They're already listening Yeah, but that's my week
Speaker: Other things that have happened this week is I know I have to pick one of them. You already said you were going to pick one, but Anthem continues to be a fire. I don't know if it's on a dumpster or not. It might be a good product that's also on fire, but I just.
Speaker: It personally, um, I'm like a crotch, the old man where I don't like a lot of things to begin with. Um, but also Ivan ingested so much media at this point in time, where if it's not something new and exciting, it doesn't thrill me. It's not subversive in some degree, or it's like pushing a boundary and just like, okay.
Speaker: Like it's just the same old shit. Yeah. Like when you have like these movies that come out or it's like, Oh, it's a summer comedy with so it's, I'm like, I've seen it already. Like I'm sure I would watch it and enjoy it and be entertained. Yeah. But it's not something I would go out of my way for. And that's why I feel a lot of recent triple A tales have been where it's like, that's a genre it's making money. Yeah. Let's make a game.
Speaker: But let's drop the ball Everywhere. Yeah, I know it's they're dribbling the ball Yeah, they've struggled a lot reviews have struggled a lot they've been trying to patch it a little bit but um We've got a note here that the ps4 version has already had a price drop five days after the release of the game That's kind of a bad sign. That's insane. Yeah, like it was actually insane. That's really fast
Speaker: That being said counterpoint to what you said a moment ago I know you were talking about possibly trying out like apex and That is definitely on the wave of popular games. So it's kind of like I've played I just want to like kneecap your arguments I played like 30 minutes of it hero. I've never been a battle royale type person Mm -hmm, and I just did a couple random matches with strangers. Oh you played it
Speaker: Yeah, oh, okay. How was like 30 minutes? How's it good? Is it good? Um, I like I said, I haven't really played better way owls, so i'm not sure But it seemed interesting enough where if other people were to play it with me who I knew right I could see getting a squad together And doing it a little bit. I wouldn't take it too seriously because it's not my genre of game, right?
Speaker: You're not gonna go ranked and like quit your new job. No It would just be cool to Get like exciting that your squad size is three. Yeah, it's like me and like two other people who I love and trust and who also don't suck at FPS. Yeah, and You're way better than I am. I don't know what yes No, I'm definitely better I mean obvious
Speaker: something i'm curious to try a little more yeah but like if i don't i'm not too put out it is interesting like how quickly it's taking off there was a oh yeah i saw a uh post on like the overwatch separate i think where it was talking about how three x players x pros for um some of the teams from the overwatch league actually got together and made a team for apex i was like it was at this point that i realized that there were
Speaker: teams for apex like right like They're jumping on the bandwagon like a little bit early I feel but you know, yeah, it's like day one game launch day two eSports. What happened? I just I just wanted to play Yeah, I would say maybe check it out a little bit because it is it's free Yeah, so it's not so much of an investment bandit cost rate depending on where you live I know our Australian listeners have to pay rated
Speaker: costs for bandwidth. I don't know how to sentence that. Pay for bandwidth by the pound, I think is the right way to say it. My one eye is twitching. I don't understand technology, but I mean, it is class based. Everyone has like a little bit of different, slight skills. I'm not going to go into them because I don't remember them, but I don't know. Maybe down the line. Yeah.
Speaker: Let's give it a shot. Maybe we'll see if it's worth coming back to. Other stuff is kind of just going on. A lot of stuff we don't care about. One of these I already had talked a little bit on the side about, but Overkill's The Walking Dead was pulled from stores and their contract was terminated for being able to use the license by the owners of The Walking Dead.
Speaker: I don't know who that is. AMC, PCB, PBS, something like that. One of those three letter acronyms, I think. It's AMC's. AMC's. Yeah. But yeah, its Metacritic score for PC was 51 points, which is approximately half of perfect. But as it's not a linear graph, 51's really bad. It's just like some guy somewhere thought your game was OK.
Speaker: Played your game. Yep. Okay. Yeah You were capable of finishing the game great 50 So so what does it mean for people who have already purchased the game? I mean they'll continue to have their copies if they had it on I believe is available on steam Steam has a policy where if they pull the game from their shelves, you can always download it from your library They never like go back and just like delete the distributable That I know of
Speaker: They may be some very extreme cases where they're like, it's actually illegal for us to have this on our servers. How did this get greenlit? You know, they might actually do that, but otherwise you can always go back.
Speaker: So the people who have it are part of like a niche group now because nobody else can actually attain. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, it might be too bad of a game to like have like collector's edition. You're like, oh man, this game is pulled from the shelves and it's worth so much money. Super rare. You're just like, yeah, but it's like it crashes. I'm not going to get that. Um, but yeah, overkill made our other, um, our other game we used to spend a lot of time on.
Speaker: I do too, which we had an early episode on. Yeah, so bonus points if you're a long time listener and you listen to that garbage back when you made it. Our standards have fallen really far since then.
Speaker: But the audio quality's gone. Yeah, things have been a lot better recently. Things have actually been a lot better for a while. That's good. So I kind of want to ask you a personal question. And I feel like this is a safe enough space for me to kind of just... Yeah. Well, thanks for joining us for this episode of Soapstone today, guys. I know it's been another long one, but hopefully our banter has kept you interested for way too long. I don't know what you're doing. What are you doing with your life? What are you doing?
