Satisfactory is one of those games that we really, really like encourage people to play. It's, I think it's like, it just released in its full form. It was an early access for like six years or something crazy. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, we did, too. But that's one of those games where it's like, have you played this? If you haven't, you really should play this. Try it. Please try it. Yeah.
So. All right. Awesome. Listen, we have some really cool topics that we're really excited to get into, but we're going to take a short break and then we're going to get into those. All right. We are back. So, you know, we're all, we're all lifelong gamers at heart. And we generally say that we aren't experts or professionals. And so it's not every day that we get access to one of those.
So we sort of came up with some of these ideas that like we wanted to know a bit more about, and we think our listeners can definitely relate to as well. So we'd love, we'd love to dive into a few of those with you, Jamie, if you don't mind. Um, The first one is a conversation that we see happen all the time. We, you know, I catch a little bit of flack for it.
I know it's meant in love, but it's just kind of, you know, know thyself type of nature. Uh, and I am very opposite in Ryan in this case. Um, and that is the, I just call it gamer ADD for myself. It is the, you know, I love playing a multitude of games. Um, I've always equated it to sampling at the buffet. Give me a bite of this, a bite of that.
Let me figure out what I like, and then I'll load my plate up with some more of that. Whereas Ryan and a lot of other gamers are very much, once I find a game I like, I lock into that game. I will play it until I 100% it, get that platinum trophy, put thousands and thousands of hours into it.
This is the only game I feel like I need because I've found a game that I find entertaining and I enjoy playing. And it's this has actually been, you know, a fun conversation amongst our community as well, because there's a lot of people that are like me. And then there's a lot of people that are kind of like Ryan in that case.
And, you know, I thought it'd just kind of be fun to kind of talk about that a little bit. Like, is there some psychology behind that? Is it just a, you know, a hey, some people like a variety and other people's don't, you know, and so. Thought it'd be kind of a fun little topic that not only we can relate to, but I know a lot of our listeners can relate to as well.
closes out like this is step six of six and it will close out this quest or this progression like for a lower reward a lot of people will go and just like check the thing off the list and close it out and get it off of your quest log or what have you that's that's so funny because we were we were playing marvel rivals last night and they have a seasonal quest thing and i happen to just be looking and i'm not normally see this is what's interesting is normally in ryan the same well i don't know ryan really loves the moon knight skin so
But it's like cosmetics generally don't do anything for me. It's like I'm not generally paying for a battle pass. These little bars, for me at least, generally don't really matter. I want to get better. I am the competitive guy that's like, hey, I want to be better than other people in this game.
I want to improve my skills, learn this character, master this character in these combos and things like that. But I found myself last night doing a stupid quest where it's like, hey, if I just do this one thing, I get this Thor skin for free.
And they got me. I'm not even the kind of person that really cares about that stuff.
Yeah. Yeah. It's one of those things pay to win. I think as, as gamers, we have really rebelled against the kind of pay to win model, which I think is good. I know there's some games out there and some people like that. And if that's, you know, Hey, if that's what they like, then, you know, power to them. But I do think gamers as a whole have kind of rebelled against this.
Hey, if I pay money, I have an advantage over other people in, especially in a competitive game. Um,
Yeah.
I think those are better than the campaign. Honestly, I don't like them. Oh, you don't like them? Oh, that's interesting.
And I'm like, nah. It's funny because as we've gotten older, like the grind has really become almost a detriment. You know, if I know a game has a lot of grind involved to it, it's almost like a put off. And it's weird because that grind is supposed to, like, get you to want to play more. Like, it's, hey, you know, there's more that you can work for. There's more that you can do.
And younger Josh used to love the grind and that slow progression. I know Ryan was the same way with Destiny 2. You know, you were grinding every character in that game with the raids and stuff. But now... I don't know, man. Maybe it's because we're older and it's just like, I don't have time for this grind anymore.
Yeah. So let's let's move on to another one, because this one, I think, is very near and dear to probably most gamers, you know, at this point. And, you know, we're dads. There's a certain stigma, especially for people that have been lifelong gamers, that the friendships that we build online and through gaming aren't real. You know, we've heard this from parents.
We've seen it in TV and media and stuff like that, where it's like, hey, you know, if you met somebody playing Halo back in the day, that person's not your friend. You know, that might have been somebody that you played games with, but you don't know that person in real life. And so I think a lot of times there is this dismissal of online friendships.
