I really appreciate that Jakey was comfortable talking about the feedback regarding ROMCOM and specifically the Fantano video that came out in response to it. I remember when that album released. I listened to it alone on a great pair of headphones late at night. It wasn't perfect, it wasn't safe- but goddamn was it personal and meaningful. There are moments in those tracks that really hit, and make you feel something. It was a real shame to see Fantano just kinda throw it up in such a uncharitable and casual context and then just diss the whole thing in front of an audience. That format doesn't play to ROMCOM's strengths. It's not a safe POP album of common-denominator versus, and it's not some inscrutable cutting-edge high-brow work either. I always wondered how Jakey felt about that, glad we got to hear some of his thoughts here. Making art is so hard.

Also not to let my inner Zelda fan come out too much, but I think a good part of the issues with BoTW's writing and voice acting issues come down to a poorly done localization. I know it's an overdone subject to point to in video game discussions, but when you look at the actual transations of the original Japanese, there's so much more depth and meaning in the lines and the characters. They really did so many moments dirty. Down to things like the final memory - in Japanese Zelda is begging Link not to die. So that look he gives her right before he collapses is just so much more heartbreaking. And the vocal delivery too - things like Japanese Zelda actually having her voice muffled when her hands are covering her face, or her scream when she broke down being genuinely wrenching. Or the fact that in the Japanese version the quests are written in first person, because they're Link's diary; he interjects with personal thoughts and feelings. So much was changed or lost in translation and it kind of breaks my heart a little as someone who absolutely adores the game. You can see it right away in totk too: "secret stone" sounds so so ridiculous in English. In Japanese it does literally mean secret/mystery stone, but the word used is unusual and has a fantasy element to it, so it sounds very cool. Its like they heard us asking for a more literal translation and did it for the one thing that they definitely shouldn't have translated word for word. Translation and localization are very hard to do and they get a lot of flack from the gaming community, but when done well, like with the Phoenix Wright games, they can make games shine. But with BoTW it actively took away from what is an otherwise incredible game.

@Marigold11037

Жыл бұрын

I haven't finished TOTK yet but I almost feel like it should've been _sacred_ stone instead. The word doesn't have the same meaning but it sounds so silly when the voice actors say "ah yes...his secret stone." Also the voice acting in BOTW definitely improved in the DLC but some of the choices in the original were questionable. It's the clearest with zelda, it sounds like her VA is struggling to maintain her accent so there's a lack of emotion in her voice when there should be more

Kojima left Konami on bad terms for a lot of reasons. Konami didn't want to keep rolling dice with funding Kojima's games since they were very expensive and he kept going over release dates. There's also some corporate fuckery where they were trying to screw him out of creative control of his projects and stuff as well. I remember watching a video about the making of PT that talks about what went on and about how Kojima used PT to release his frustrations with his relationship with Konami. I don't remember who it was by, but it was really well done and does a great job of pulling apart the end of the Konami/Kojima saga. Konami did him dirty in the end though. Him not being able to accept the award for MGS 5 at the VGA's was brutal and taking his name off the game just to spite him was a low blow. I'm not sure how the MGS 3 remake will turn out, but it's pretty conflicting as a massive fan of the franchise as to whether it's going to be worth or not. PS: I'd kill for a Jakey Death Stranding video!

I named one of my special horses in breath of the wild Jakey, in honor of the man himself. He’s now my go to ride in tears of the Kingdom thank you Jakey for the name.

Jakey's talk about working on his album is so inspiring for me. I'm currently at the end stages of working on my own debut album, and without having Jakey to look up to and to relate to, I don't think I'd be able to start this journey. Him being so open about his struggles with it, in this episode but also in the past, has inspired me immensely.

I love Jarvis’s hoodie. It’s so unique and cool! I’m glad he‘s branching out more with his style, I hope to do that someday lol :,) Edit: OH he mentioned it LOL I might have to check that brand out!!

haven't even watched it yet and i know it's 10/10 best episode of sad boyz yet

"Fans turn on that I didn't even know were in there" absolutely losing it during this segment, I'm having the same experience with my switch.

Every new guest feels like a personal gift tbh, I love this podcast and y'all and your friends so much ❤️ Thanks for giving my adhd crazed brain the dopamine it craves!!

Right at the beginning, the thing you're describing as "scope creep" for content creators sounds a lot like what Ze Frank called "brain crack" back in his vlogging days. Sometimes an idea just keeps building and building until no attempt at making it real could possibly do it justice.

If you want to understand Konami’s relationship with Hideo Kojima, Google the in-house nickname they had for him in the early 2000s: “Ojama”. They made YuGiOh creatures that seem to be meant to mock Kojima, his sexuality, and maybe even his behavior. Regardless of what specifically happened, they clearly hated him on some level for a long time lol

Two additional Max Payne things - one of the first games to have photo-mapped textures. Instead being drawn textures, they were all taken from photos, made low-res, and plastered on some flat polygons, but the look at the time was amazing. Second - the trippy dream sequence was one of my favorite moments in gaming for years.

I'm a month late but so thankful i found this tonight. There's something about Jakey that makes me less scared of life

Regarding BOTW vs TOTK, people always say we got scammed for TOTK being a $70 DLC pack…when in reality, we got scammed in 2017 because BOTW was just a $60 demo for what TOTK would eventually be lol. TOTK improves on just about EVERYTHING BOTW did, and that's coming from someone who doesn't adore either of them the way some people do. I admire the things they did, but it's just not for me. That doesn't stop me from being mind-blown by some of the insane creativity they put into that game.

This seems as good a place as any to mention that Google stadia was so under appreciated. I played like 1000 hours on that platform, and then it went out of business and all of my purchases were refunded. I played the new and awful Saints Row, all the way thru like 60 hrs, and then it got refunded. Same with Cyberpunk, RE Village, R6 Siege and a bunch of other games. I don’t debate that it will go down in history as a failure, but my experience was so positive. It felt like 2 years of basically free gaming. RIP Stadia

Jakey is kinda hitting on a point I think is important. Video game and music reviewers don't necessarily give their full attention to the thing they're reviewing. You assume when you read a review that they tried to really absorb the content but they very well could've been doing other things at the same time that take focus away. Like playing a game while the album they reviewed was playing in the background.

I binged Better Call Saul at the end of last year on recommendation from a few of my friends and have only seen a few episodes of Breaking Bad here and there because my dad loves it, but I absolutely loved it! I knew some of the lore going in just because of how big Breaking Bad is and one of my friends helped to fill in the blanks, especially with the last season. And after finishing, I went back and started Breaking Bad but couldn't watch further than the first few episodes because my mom has an extremely similar cancer diagnosis to Walt and it became too difficult for me to sit through. But BCS is definitely one of my favorite shows I've ever watched, I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone regardless of whether they've seen Breaking Bad.

i am not a gamer and understand nothing going on but still gonna watch it all

Jakeys album actually means the world to me

This was such an amazing episode. First time watching and seeing how supportive you are among each other is really great. Mental health has such an important role on creativity so being honest and supportive is really important. Criticism will never end whether is gaming or music, but being on both sides can be pretty hard for someone.

Highly recommend checking out the video essay "every zelda is the darkest zelda" directly before playing any zelda game

I had a dream that i was having a breakdown and Jarvis was comforting me and he asked if he could call my dad. I wailed "I DONT HAVE A DAD!" And he cheerfully responded "No way! Me too!" And that was the end of his presence.

Even tho I don't play video games myself, I really enjoy listening to people/striving to be a good listener, so I've always asked the guys in my life (acquaintances, family, friends, bfs) about their favorite video games and sat back for an hour. Something about watching a couple of my fave KZreadrs and their friend rave about this stuff is giving me that same exact genre dopamine so thank you 😊💖

Listened to this whole episode even tho I've never played a video game in my life

I'm always a fan of people going real in-depth on games from not just a fan standpoint but mechanics standpoint

best episode. i could listen to y’all talk about games forever

Damn, that was a nice episode. Thank you guys :)

I haven't played TOTK but one of my favorite little things I discovered in BOTW was the ruins of the stable that's a main part of the fields in Ocarina of Time, down to the path that the horse runs around. Realizing as I explored the ruins that this stable I'd stumbled on was pieces of buildings I'd explored long before in a previous game, and that lore-wise Link had walked these same steps generations ago, was amazing for me. I got so excited about it

this is my favorite episode ever

First time watching the show and came here because of Jakey. Really great episode, you got a new fan

Been waiting all week for this and the Patreon ep so excited

i love people ranting about video games. i’m definitely checking out jakey’s channel.

It is so cool seeing some of my favourite content creators in the same room just chatting about everythinf

I think what's interesting about breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom as a zelda fan is to looking back on a lot of the previous games and find some of the early seeds of that game in it. Like skyward sword introducing stamina and I think some of the parries and stuff you can find twilight princess

Listening to this while playing Tears of the kingdom is so much fun!! Great episode!

i love this episode, just every chapter is a showcase of my compounding interests

I always told people that Armored Core was Gran Turismo levels customization in a Mech centric RPG. You don't get classic RPG classes like Rogue, Wizard, Tank, etc. But you do get analogues, e.g. Lightweight melee build, Guided Missle spam + hover / max flight time build, Heavy armor tank build (sometimes with literal tank treads) with massive weapons. The brutality of the story mixed with all that cold steel made it a super metal series to play back in the day

Yo exactly the crossover I needed!

Woaaah, my brother loves Jakey and I love Jarvis, our worlds are colliding 🙌

I'm trying to rebuild my creative drive after dealing with grief and this is helping get me excited about the creative process again. I'm going to edit right after this video.

Love me some Nakob Jacob! Great episode guys!
