Since a lot of people here seem to be fans on rami. What’s his take on DEI coming to light and more open backlash against it than every before without it being quickly shutdown as racist or instantly demonized by the majority Edit: Nevermind looked it up and realized he does the same kind of consultations himself.
Where do I sign for Thor to become a regular? I know Rami can’t but Thor’s grounded humor and analysis are a genuine breath of fresh air on the internet/twitch. Also, JP & Zeke are perfect hosts for these guests.
@@simonmasset2238 any source online that says he's a "fraud" is easily proven wrong once you actually try checking his backgrounds and achievements. Thor is legit. The only bad thing he did was calling Ross' arguments "disgusting" and refusing to look more into the initiative, that was a mistake on his part.
@@RisqueBisquetz explain to me how he got 20 year experience as a game dev as he always claim while he's 36, making furry models isn't game developing, being a QA tester at blizzard isn't game developing especially if you got your job through your dad because you couldn't find jobs elsewhere and letting a game unfinished which last update was 4 months ago and literally an April fool joke is more selling a scam than a game while promoting it on stream ... He got some legit things like his hacking works, but as a game developer he's a fraud...
2:27:30 - RussianBadger still has one of the most hilarious lines describing this game - "Ah yes, my favorite sniper rifle. This is what I look for in a sniper rifle; a *Glaring Lack Of Accuracy.* " and ever since then, that phrase lives rent-free in my head whenever I think of this game.
When you guys said about getting Rami and Pirate on the same show, I thought it wouldn't really happen for a while so this is such a nice surprise! One of the most entertaining and informative yet!!!
The "I work 19 hours a day" followed 5 minutes later by "Yeah, so many people burn themselves out you gotta keep your sanity" was such a Thor moment. This frickin dood 😄
Thor's take on burnout is that it's a result of not feeling impact or like your work matters. I agree he works insanely hard but I suspect part of why he can work so long is he feels extremely fulfilled by his work, and it's clearly having an impact on tons of people in a positive way. A lot of us are grinding something we hate for an end goal. Thor's current lifestyle IS his end goal, minus further growing the ferret rescue. I get what you are saying, but I think this is why he doesn't burnout despite his hours.

For years now, the internet's been tearing up shoes and pissing on the couch. Thor is one of the few who springs up from the shadows with a water spray bottle, sprays us all on the nose and says "no!" Keep it up, Thor. Perhaps one day the Internet will become more domesticated
i have a theory that the "active" internet is like 80% people 20 and under (immature people) and the rest are people selling stuff to them and people who are unhappy with their lives.
Thor is literally a proven fraud, what are you going on about? He does nice positive thinking speeches sure... So saying some bullshit that feels nice...
I can't believe you got both of them on the same show! JP and Ezekiel! But seriously I wish Rami and people like Pirate software could be regular guests, cause their insight is so valuable. Even its every few months I hope Rami and other other dev, publisher or gaming industry person could be on more regularly. Though I'm sure Rami and Pirate are pretty busy
Generic error messages made sense back when computers didn't have enough memory to waste on detailed descriptions of what is going wrong. Back then, the software would come with a paper manual that has the error listed in a table in the back somewhere. There is 0 reasons to do that nowadays.
The shorter the message the easier it is to Google, as long as you get a unique code it's actually helpful not to have to search for a paragraph of text that likely overlaps with other error messages. Both is fine, but having a unique error code is invaluable for troubleshooting.
thank you JP! after listening to Thor on his first guest spot I wanted nothing but a show with Thor and Rami! This beat all expectations, please keep Thor popping in as often as Rami does.
Re: “No. Wrong! Your opinion is invalid.” Great example is Kingdom Come Deliverance. I get why it’s not for everyone. But to say that game is garbage and just leave a thumbs down on Steam reviews is gross. Yes. It’s slow, your guy is weaker than the NPCs, the combat is hard, no magic and it’s not Skyrim… but it’s a bloody masterpiece. Best RPG? Maybe not. But it’s the best peasant simulator ever made.
As it is one of my favourite games I'd like to add, The gradual rise to actual formidable knight is so satisfying because the game is willing to beat you down at the start. The progression isn't super smooth, but after a while of getting stats and actually working to train, you become an expert fighter capable of fighting multiple foes at once! Sidenote, It's one of the only games where grinding out fighting stats at captain bernard(?) feels immersive, because it makes complete sense that sparring with your instructor for several days actually improves your fighting skills. I will agree that doing this too much can make the game feel really weird in terms of how smooth the progression is, but it's one of my personal favourite ways to start the game, rush as fast as you can to Bernard, spar with him for several days straight (I understand this takes a bunch of patience, but I had time, ok) And then immediately get to enjoy some of the more fun parts of swordfighting in the game.
Pleb Henry becomes Chad Henry. It was a grand old time in my opinion. Most people aren't mentally built for a game like that though, they were told from childhood that they shit gold from the start.
@@kianschoeman6574 Given how racist and sexist Ubisoft are known to be, you're right, but in the wrong direction. A lot of women don't want to work for them because they're worried about being sexually harassed, and only conservative white men tend to have any consistent upwards mobility in their company, so people of colour don't want to work for them either. Pair that with their habit of mixing mass layoffs with non-compete clauses that force former employees to change careers or get sued, Ubisoft has basically run out of talent to hire. Since no one wants to be sexually harassed, discriminated against due to race, or fired with no warning and sued if they try to work for another game developer, no one who has other options wants to work for Ubisoft anymore.
Always wonderful to see Rami on and now we get Thor too! Such a fantastic podcast! I do hope we get to see these two again when the news is much lighter !
Strange things devs do because they don't wanna do it "right" historical edition: Ever wondered why dungeon games have teleporters in them? The first game to have them was "dnd" on PLATO. It was programmed in hex. Doing anything was hard. The programmers didn't want to do stairs properly initially, so they just said "let's put a star trek style teleporter in there." Other games started copying it from there. Hearing that from the programmer was mind blowing.

My first time discovering EDF was my friends introduced me to the franchise and my first impression was like "WTF is this PS3 graphics looking BS?" and we played it and laughed our asses off at the 50s sci-fi movie story, the friggin' ridiculous ragdolls, The weapons are OP AF like you have a grenade that blows up an entire city block and the game gives you unlimited ammo so you can go apesh*t. EDF is so much fun.

42:00 About the post processing features like motion blur and so on. While yes they are included for because they want the game to look pretty, giving the internal team tools to make really good screen shots and such. They also tend to be part of the engine in general and are easily moved into projects, as unreal has these built in or they are easily slotted in as a package with minimal effort
man this really hit home with the leadership talk, the company i work at is currently going through cuts and trying to find ways to save money but the senior management are so out of touch with how the changes are effecting the working conditions on shopfloor that they are now at risk of losing a load of very experienced workers that have been at the company for ages.
This is why companies should be run from bottom-up, not top-down. The leaders and managers should reflect the will of the people who do the work, because they know the details better than any CEO who steps into the factory or office maybe once a year ever could. This has been a constant issue at my workplace as well. The machines break down, and only the mechanics have the know-how to fix them, but the leaderahip is unwilling to train more while expecting a higher output. It's just not possible, and people have voiced this clearly, but they think they know better.
A very good example of open communication between a studio and their community is Digital Extremes. They have a short-form livestream of the Creative Director and CEO answering community questions and a long-firm livestream of different community managers and otherwise playing Warframe with the community and giving out raffle prizes. They also have a monthly (?) livestream where they go over whatever events are happening in the future.
Depends, they had their own share of the worst mods ever, to the point that lots of us old guard left the game over their toxic political bias and enforcement of the chat channels. The joke of being banned without ever typing in game came about due to how shitty their community mods where
the guests were, of course, amazing and I hope to see them sooner again rather then later. And big thanks to JP for doing this every week. However the biggest of shoutouts to Zeke. He is such an amazing co-host and I hope everyone tells him that every chance they get. When he makes jokes it's well-timed and doesn't overstay it's welcome. If he derails a conversation he brings it back on topic. He asks question I as a viewer often have. Like either I share general game knowledge with him and it's coincidence, or what I much more believe is that he has an amazing feeling on what might be necessary information for viewers to have to enjoy the discussion! tldr, dear jp youtube team please tell zeke he's the greatest co host I could imagine for this show !
Hearing them rattle off numbers and estimates for keeping people employed for a year during the Destiny discussion plus the part with Capcom's fiscal report just re-emphasize how absurd gacha money truly is. Hoyoverse's games collectively made around $150m+ in ONE MONTH on mobile alone. That may not be accurate numbers but it is probably not far off that they actually do make around a hundred million monthly. 🤯
in World of Warcraft one of the early dungeons there was an immortal frog. or nearly immortal one after you drop down the exit hole into some water. Hearing some of these coding tricks makes me wonder if that frog is related to some boss spells or other tricks and it wasn't suppose to be visible; but it was forgotten about because it was a low level Horde dungeon.
Give the full 80% so you have the 100% when you need it. Love how you put it. That was pretty much the advice I gave a younger colleague not long ago! Basically, enjoy the moments that the workload is low to recover your energy for when the workload is too high. That way, when things get tough you're able to handle it.
1:46:47 A kinda similar thing happened with Frostpunk 2 back in June when the developers and publisher announced that the game was being delayed to September from its original July release date HOWEVER the game was also supposed to simultaneously release on Gamepass and right up until the day before the original July release date, Xbox still had the release date listed as that - For nearly an entire month, Xbox had the wrong release date on the game
I prefer light mode as an ADHD person. Dark mode muddles everything together and makes menus less distinct and clear at a glance, and for someone who can't always focus if I'm distracted and trying to menu through something that blends together it can lead to missclicks and small issues
I have dyslexia. Never made connection to that but is for some reason i prefer light mode. And I would guess that just vecause Im used to read form paper so its more familiar less stress for my brain. Im glad thet we are not overlooked.
This video has been a breath of fresh air, with all of the Twitch clips of mundane and redundant hocum on my UA-cam reels. Knowing that this type of content exists on UA-cam makes me feel better. PS: credit to Pirate Software for introducing me to this channel and these people.
I have dyslexia and can chip in on the light/dark mode thing. There are shades of grey that (luckily) most dark modes use where I'm able to read BETTER than light mode. But when dark mode was a new thing that wasn't common and most things that had a dark option opted for pure white text on pure black background. That stuff is HELL on my dyslexia, depending on the day I can't even make out a single letter. So very dark to medium grey background with white to very light grey text is perfect. but if the background is too dark I am going back to light mode. One annoying example is windows 10 settings. Which is annoying cause that's the place I have to go to change it back to light mode.
What we're seeing here is the difference between companies who got complacent and thought nothing would change, and companies that were forced to change cause they fell on hard times sooner.
2:16:53 I remember when me and my buddy were playing dying light, and he buggered off to go to use the restroom, and I found a teddy bear that I can click, and if you clicked it enough, something wild happened. This was years ago, still remember that day, someone had a fun sense of humor. Cheers to bringing up that memory for me. Yall are awesome!
I was late to watch live & I was sad. I saw the guests & I immediately shut off the stream so I can watch it fully without ads. Enjoy my UA-cam premium!
Thor is a proven fraud so idk why people care about his "dev side view" on the subject since he wasn't ever a real dev besides doing some furry models... (Unfortunately that's not even a joke) And he's incapable of understanding the consumer side of view for some reason, don't mean siding with, just seeing it... So yeah in and all good thing he's shutting up about that
@@PeterPetrowitsch I'm not, are you because you can't even accept that people genuinely and within reason don't like a content creator you like yourself? Is that a new discovered step to parasocial relationships or something ? Or simply your own brain looking to avoid cognitive dissonance ? If you have other really useful comments like yours I'm sure someone will care
Man making me super nostalgic co-op split screen online or otherwise would love just a remote spectator just to relive sitting on the couch and bullshit with my friend while one plays and one watches
I don't use dark mode for my browsers. Something about the combination of contrast and brightness disparity makes it so I can read black text on white background faster and with more clarity than white text on black background. A brief googling on this suggests it might be due to my astigmatism.
50:09 I was a dark mode user when dark mode first started to become really popular, but a few years ago I switched to light mode on everything. Somthing about dark mode just made me feel really depressed being in a dark room or using screens for long periods.
32:00 Dragonball FighterZ has great examples of this. people have took the camera and looked at the cinematic supers and dear lord you get some wild proportions on characters just to sell it for the camera. look up "Gohan's arm without the cinematic camera" 😂
45:15 that local voice is on because many people don't know how to enable it. My personal petpeevee is that inverted mouse y axis should always be an option. I played 3d FPS when inverted was the default mode. So its an intant pass if a game doesn't have that option.
Yes! All I wanted after last week's episode was to get Rami & Pirate Soft together, preferably without Cohh to get in the way. This is a dream come true!
Id love to see rami and thor as regular hosts! Solid personalities, great at insights, beneficial vibing off each other. I see how 5 folks wouldn't leave room for guests any longer though.
For the bungee layoffs, I know I'm late to listening to this, but highly recommend listening to the act man. Marty O'Donald. It's got one kicker of a definition of timeline of who left, and who stayed from Bungie
4 months old but oh well. I know GameInformer quit in a crappy way but I'll always look back on GameInformer in a fond way. Loved getting the new mag every month. I'm with you guys, it's a real shame what you have to do to make it in journalism now days and I appreciate that GameInformer stayed pretty much the same the whole time. So sad to see. R.I.P
It took only 2 weeks to do the promised ThorXRami double-team episode. Amazing.

Rami was always my favorite guest and now i have 2 favorite guests Rami and Thor! Great show!
Awesome guests, keep up with finding these guys who are well respected and willing to talk about inner workings of games and overall industry.
man this really hit home with the leadership talk, the company i work at is currently going through cuts and trying to find ways to save money but the senior management are so out of touch with how the changes are effecting the working conditions on shopfloor that they are now at risk of losing a load of very experienced workers that have been at the company for ages.
This is why companies should be run from bottom-up, not top-down. The leaders and managers should reflect the will of the people who do the work, because they know the details better than any CEO who steps into the factory or office maybe once a year ever could.
This has been a constant issue at my workplace as well. The machines break down, and only the mechanics have the know-how to fix them, but the leaderahip is unwilling to train more while expecting a higher output. It's just not possible, and people have voiced this clearly, but they think they know better.
I was so excited to see Rami and Thor together, and JP delivers within 2 weeks?!?!? Thank you JP!!
edit edit: I love the longer episodes
what an insightful episode yet again. Rami x Thor is a great combo
you know, the last week i thought "man, this Thor guy would be amazing with Rami" and look at what happened! its like all my namedays came at once
A very good example of open communication between a studio and their community is Digital Extremes. They have a short-form livestream of the Creative Director and CEO answering community questions and a long-firm livestream of different community managers and otherwise playing Warframe with the community and giving out raffle prizes. They also have a monthly (?) livestream where they go over whatever events are happening in the future.
Depends, they had their own share of the worst mods ever, to the point that lots of us old guard left the game over their toxic political bias and enforcement of the chat channels. The joke of being banned without ever typing in game came about due to how shitty their community mods where
So great to have both Rami and Thor on! Awesome discussion.
Didn't expect the Thor/PirateSoftware and Rami collab so quickly, great stuff, thanks jp (and zeke)
the guests were, of course, amazing and I hope to see them sooner again rather then later.
And big thanks to JP for doing this every week.
However the biggest of shoutouts to Zeke. He is such an amazing co-host and I hope everyone tells him that every chance they get. When he makes jokes it's well-timed and doesn't overstay it's welcome. If he derails a conversation he brings it back on topic. He asks question I as a viewer often have. Like either I share general game knowledge with him and it's coincidence, or what I much more believe is that he has an amazing feeling on what might be necessary information for viewers to have to enjoy the discussion!
tldr, dear jp youtube team please tell zeke he's the greatest co host I could imagine for this show !
Pringles guy mixed with Jigsaw 💀
I can't believe I miss this monumental episode live.
Fucking RIP.
2:08:52
I am in tears at work at the Bobby Kotic bit. Holy shit
Hearing them rattle off numbers and estimates for keeping people employed for a year during the Destiny discussion plus the part with Capcom's fiscal report just re-emphasize how absurd gacha money truly is. Hoyoverse's games collectively made around $150m+ in ONE MONTH on mobile alone. That may not be accurate numbers but it is probably not far off that they actually do make around a hundred million monthly. 🤯
They can afford to do omega sponsorships with their lowest rates being 6 figures so yeah go figure.
That was a great podcast, always interested in what Rami and Thor have to say.
in World of Warcraft one of the early dungeons there was an immortal frog. or nearly immortal one after you drop down the exit hole into some water.
Hearing some of these coding tricks makes me wonder if that frog is related to some boss spells or other tricks and it wasn't suppose to be visible; but it was forgotten about because it was a low level Horde dungeon.
Oh shit, it's the Infinite Stones gauntlet of podcasts hosts.
Give the full 80% so you have the 100% when you need it. Love how you put it.
That was pretty much the advice I gave a younger colleague not long ago! Basically, enjoy the moments that the workload is low to recover your energy for when the workload is too high. That way, when things get tough you're able to handle it.
Thor was born for content like this. Love the guy.
Super glad they got this pairing so quickly
1:46:47 A kinda similar thing happened with Frostpunk 2 back in June when the developers and publisher announced that the game was being delayed to September from its original July release date HOWEVER the game was also supposed to simultaneously release on Gamepass and right up until the day before the original July release date, Xbox still had the release date listed as that - For nearly an entire month, Xbox had the wrong release date on the game
We need the Pirate and the Pilot podcast, just get Thor and Rami to discuss the issues of the day and I'm in.
Wow, Rami and Thor on Dropped Frames. Christmas came early this year, amazing show as always (and as someone wrote earlier, thanks youtube guy!).
I'm glad gaming podcasters understand the concept of institutional knowledge maybe in 10to 25 years CEO'S will reach this level of insight
I prefer light mode as an ADHD person. Dark mode muddles everything together and makes menus less distinct and clear at a glance, and for someone who can't always focus if I'm distracted and trying to menu through something that blends together it can lead to missclicks and small issues
I have dyslexia. Never made connection to that but is for some reason i prefer light mode. And I would guess that just vecause Im used to read form paper so its more familiar less stress for my brain. Im glad thet we are not overlooked.
Really? Not one other person noticed how *smoothly* Thor UnBurgered himself at 1:04:48 👀🤣
Delightful episode, the Thami Duo is a banger
This video has been a breath of fresh air, with all of the Twitch clips of mundane and redundant hocum on my UA-cam reels. Knowing that this type of content exists on UA-cam makes me feel better.
PS: credit to Pirate Software for introducing me to this channel and these people.
I have dyslexia and can chip in on the light/dark mode thing.
There are shades of grey that (luckily) most dark modes use where I'm able to read BETTER than light mode. But when dark mode was a new thing that wasn't common and most things that had a dark option opted for pure white text on pure black background. That stuff is HELL on my dyslexia, depending on the day I can't even make out a single letter.
So very dark to medium grey background with white to very light grey text is perfect. but if the background is too dark I am going back to light mode.
One annoying example is windows 10 settings. Which is annoying cause that's the place I have to go to change it back to light mode.
What we're seeing here is the difference between companies who got complacent and thought nothing would change, and companies that were forced to change cause they fell on hard times sooner.
what a show having rami and pirate software 👌
2:16:53 I remember when me and my buddy were playing dying light, and he buggered off to go to use the restroom, and I found a teddy bear that I can click, and if you clicked it enough, something wild happened. This was years ago, still remember that day, someone had a fun sense of humor. Cheers to bringing up that memory for me. Yall are awesome!
These guests are awesome, more please!
Thanks for the great info and content!
I was late to watch live & I was sad. I saw the guests & I immediately shut off the stream so I can watch it fully without ads. Enjoy my UA-cam premium!
Would've loved to see Rami and Thor discuss the EU "Stop Killing Games" initiative.
Otherwise great show!
Thor won't touch it, he called the movement disgusting and refuses to engage with Ross
Thor is a proven fraud so idk why people care about his "dev side view" on the subject since he wasn't ever a real dev besides doing some furry models... (Unfortunately that's not even a joke)
And he's incapable of understanding the consumer side of view for some reason, don't mean siding with, just seeing it...
So yeah in and all good thing he's shutting up about that
@@simonmasset2238 you seem mad dude ... are you ok?
@@PeterPetrowitsch I'm not, are you because you can't even accept that people genuinely and within reason don't like a content creator you like yourself? Is that a new discovered step to parasocial relationships or something ?
Or simply your own brain looking to avoid cognitive dissonance ?
If you have other really useful comments like yours I'm sure someone will care
@@simonmasset2238 i'm not the one leaving long hate comments under every post ... i'm just worried about you dude
What an amazing show! Love it!
Really liking having Thor on this show. It balances it out really well!
I love that Rami and Thor got to meet. I see a future bromance and this was a great episode.
Man, I LOVE under-promising. Still working on the over-delivering part... Rami knows...
Man making me super nostalgic co-op split screen online or otherwise would love just a remote spectator just to relive sitting on the couch and bullshit with my friend while one plays and one watches
After the pirate software episode I was like oh maybe they've got more good episodes and he's back again!❤
I don't use dark mode for my browsers. Something about the combination of contrast and brightness disparity makes it so I can read black text on white background faster and with more clarity than white text on black background.
A brief googling on this suggests it might be due to my astigmatism.
Great episode! Thank you
This was amazing, and the twitch stream was popping also live!
I've been reading Rami's tweets since his D1 proposal emote. Funny how I randomly realized it was him on the podcast 20 mins into the podcast.
50:09 I was a dark mode user when dark mode first started to become really popular, but a few years ago I switched to light mode on everything. Somthing about dark mode just made me feel really depressed being in a dark room or using screens for long periods.
As someone who has been Playing Egg Inc for YEARS, it does indeed get real weird. Glad to see that was his recommendation.
Was busy cleaning the house while we had drywall workers here so I couldn't catch this live, but I'm gonna really enjoy this.
Pringles aren't chips. It's baked potato dough and legally can't be called a chip.
Oh SHEEEEEESH! That's gonna be FIRE I CAN TELL ALREADY!
In Finland we still have print game magazine called "Pelaaja", which has been running since 2002.
Saw Thors @ and went "Guess I'm watching this one." 😂
32:00 Dragonball FighterZ has great examples of this. people have took the camera and looked at the cinematic supers and dear lord you get some wild proportions on characters just to sell it for the camera. look up "Gohan's arm without the cinematic camera" 😂
100% on the headbob and motion blur thing. I turn it off instantly everytime kills my head.
43:13 insane coming from the guy that once made a version of nuclear throne that had 800% screenshake
Awesome episode!!
2:15:00 That's why original GTA SA felt special, there was so many small details that made it special.
I caught the last 10 minutes of the livestream and am looking forward to seeing the entire thing!
This intro is up there with the pinball animation from Sesame Street
Literally just finished Thor’s episode, now here we are 😂
45:15 that local voice is on because many people don't know how to enable it.
My personal petpeevee is that inverted mouse y axis should always be an option. I played 3d FPS when inverted was the default mode. So its an intant pass if a game doesn't have that option.
Love this cast
Yes! All I wanted after last week's episode was to get Rami & Pirate Soft together, preferably without Cohh to get in the way.
This is a dream come true!
Funny, it's quite the opposite for me. Most episodes without Cohh feel lackluster to me.
Great show.
Id love to see rami and thor as regular hosts!
Solid personalities, great at insights, beneficial vibing off each other.
I see how 5 folks wouldn't leave room for guests any longer though.
Game Informers Video content is/was some of the best stuff ever imo Super Replays.
OP guest duo!
Rami, Thor we love you guys
wow, I didn't realise that thor was Australian
For my fellow comic book nerds. Game Informer is the gaming industry equivalent of Wizard Magazine.
That's why I like mikes with physical swiches
I'm glad we have Thor & Rami together now. I hope we get more of them away from DF too.
For the bungee layoffs, I know I'm late to listening to this, but highly recommend listening to the act man. Marty O'Donald. It's got one kicker of a definition of timeline of who left, and who stayed from Bungie
great epi!
OH MY!!!!!! It’s happened!!!!!!
I'm very excited, but also, I'm not sure I'm ready for the dread and horror, this episode will leave me with.
you can force dark mode in chrome as well as brave with an extension or a flag setting its amazing!
Man, this one hits close to home...
4 months old but oh well. I know GameInformer quit in a crappy way but I'll always look back on GameInformer in a fond way. Loved getting the new mag every month. I'm with you guys, it's a real shame what you have to do to make it in journalism now days and I appreciate that GameInformer stayed pretty much the same the whole time. So sad to see. R.I.P
