The "NES Games were hard on purpose" thing is actually kinda true. A lot of these games were ports from arcade titles and those were made extra hard, so that the kids playing them in the arcades would actually put in more coins to buy continues.

Where I live you HAVE to leave your vehicle at the place of crash. If you are blocking everything, even then, that's the law. You can not move/remove the vehicle, even if you take pictures/video documenting everything. While this causes horrible traffic jams and delays, it probably prevents some legal arguments from happening. Also, in the 90s, radio stations got the tips from the police where they were checking speeders. This was a 2-way favour. People listened to said channel, and accidents were lower at problematic places where speeding caused problems regularly ... well .. now there is Waze .... and I don't even know how my radio works in my car (OK, I do .. up&down search ... but no clue where (what frequency) stations are )

100% pre-PS1 genre games were hard on purpose, it was for multiple reasons, like they were short, (like could finish in a couple of hours short) so were made harder to extend play time, or they were to encourage you to buy instead of rent, or simply they were arcade ports which were designed to be hard to get you to spend all your money.

I'm so glad Matt stood up for himself and let us listen to one of his rants. They need to start a new channel based solely on all of Matt's " lost rants ".

9:20 the average salary for a software developer in the US is 104K/yr, and the median is likely 60s. Its quite a bit but most devs don't make anywhere near 500K per year, that's reserved for specialty cases

Theres software devs that gets paid a lot for doing nothing and then theres me a software dev that does not get paid enough for the amount of work I do.😂

Low Key Matt is just right and Austin is crazy

I do like the "aliens warned us not to go further into space" theory. Art Bell (may he rest in peace) used to have a couple of regular guests on his radio show who were big proponents of that theory. Sometimes it was combined with the secret NASA technology theories, sometimes it wasn't. But the government knowing about the existence of aliens and possibly secretly, slowly leading alien technology to the public after Roswell or any of the other supposed crashes? I don't necessarily believe it, but it's fun to think about.

Those that look at NASA and go who cares do not realize how much tech we have today that has a direct link to a NASA project.

frozen is definitely real

Once in the 90s I discovered the Fabled Dorito Stone…a two inch diameter stone sphere of solid nacho powder in a bag. No mystical powers were bestowed upon me.

I'm so glad Kyle is alive again

Nah i don't believe that internet is full of bots. i mean that would just be stu.... {INTERNAL DATABASE ERROR}

That's okay Marvel tricked Sony into thinking they can make movies about Spiderman's rogue gallery, major fails, profit.

Every inch of Matt is full of confidence. I love it

Super doritos I've found many times. One time I actually found just a big bouncy ball sized clump of just seasoning

Re "NES games were hard on purpose," besides the fact that older console games were still transitioning from being designed with an arcade game mindset of quarter-munching and player churn and such, there have even been peeps like Ecco the Dolphin dev Ed Annunziata who have outright confirmed in public interviews that they made those old games hard on purpose reasons like those mentioned in the video like the potential for re-rentals and being worth $50+ of playtime when purchased.

dead internet theory is also to do with most links being dead etc

Matt's (or Kyle) "HOoooooooowwwwever!" crushed me. Love Matt.

0:02 Austin's face is definitely something...

re the programmer salary: location matters immensely here.

Love this is!

12:01 its the Homies giving a heads up to a sighting

I wish my phone could track my eye movement so that i didnt have to tap the screen to select things. If there was one button on the side i can press to select what i am looking at, it would be perfect

anyone know where i can buy the giant hat at 07:41 ? 😅😅😅😅

On space travel back during the cold war NASA was basically given a blank check to get to the moon. Those days are long past.

Without getting fast forwarded.. MATT!!!

Blue light is visible light, if more blue was put in screens, things would *look more blue*, no?

I predicted the next Switch wasn't coming until 2025, but because the momentum of the Switch slowed down a bit sooner than I believe Nintendo was expecting it to, they did try to move up the release to this year, but for reasons perhaps due to production of particular parts or last-minute adjustments to design, they kept in-line with 2025, but launching in 2023 would've cannibalized the great sales they *were* still getting in that year; a long-winded way of saying no, not for NS2*. (Still possible for it to release Holiday 2024, but with Brothership releasing in November, it makes me doubt that to a significant degree.)

It was designed for switch 2 and they decided to push back the switch 2 to buy more time for another Zelda release along side the new switch

iOS only JUST got eye tracking? Welcome to the Android club.

The speed camera one is absolutely true.. direct involvement in this…

Yes tell em Matt! Tell em not to fast forward! 👍🏻

Cops messing with maps data is 10000 percent true. Cops will unmark themselves and/or add pins as well. There no different then your average consumer, we can do it, so they can too

In 2023 bots are almost 50% of all Internet usage

one time i did get a glob of the nacho cheese dorito stuff wish i took a pic of it cause it was wild

Matt, my friendo. The thing you split to get a reaction is called the nucleus. Nuc-le-us. Not Nu-clus. So it's not Nu-clar. It's Nuc-le-ar.

1:20 - Also Skibidi Toilet vs the Russian band Little Big's "Skibidi".

You guys should have put foil over kyles hat for this episode and had matt wear it

With the foam hat on, Matt reminds me of Mario

7:23 I have never been any happier seeing Matt put the Kyle hat on; I understand Austin and his overall low-ballin' of AI technology, but someone had to give him the facts instead.

I GUARANTEE that your phone tracks your eye movements.

I've only bought one Nintendo Power magazine. It was the Pokémon Gold and Silver edition. Other than that, I've never bought any or known anyone who has bought any.

W Matt!!

Everytime I've seen the cop thing a cop is sitting there

It's called a dark forest internet.

Police running radar isn't to stop or prevent speeding it's to generate revenue.

Super Doritos are tech?

I actually reported a police officer on the freeway, and I'm not a cop

i agree with matt on everything

I miss the games being very hard. They make games so easy that it water downs the culture.

Austin, buddy, pal, friend, I KNOW the DOT placing warnings on google maps is real from working with DOT on many projects. The DOT places the warnings for many reason; construction, events, schools, AND because by doing so they can reduce the congestion during peak hours. Often they are minor issues that DOT employees have made mountains out of mole hills such as water on the road way that turns out to be a construction crew busting a sprinkler system or a cop is searching a car.

How come people crap on Google for shady stuff but not Apple?

Old games were hard so you had to rent another week and another. It's a hold over from arcade quarter munchers. Also, i like how austin is acting like the reasonable one but coming across like a goon trying to divert from the "truth" lol

More Kyle plz!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe the Sega Yakuza one, if only because the Yakuza tried to buy the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team

I think matt watches "The Why Files".

I heard that Austin is, in fact, a Alien from another Solar System. Source: Dude trust me

You wanna talk about weird, my girlfriend set up a dermatology appointment today, and a few hours later I get an email about dermatology and setting up an appointment. I've never talked about it or considered it or even really knew what they do or anything before she was talking about it today. And I asked her if she set me up to get emailed by them, she did not. Wtf 🙃

I feel like tears of the kingdom is very similar to twilight princess. yes there is a gamecube version of it but ther eis also a wii version of it for its laumch.

I miss Doritos JACKED.

Dead internet theory most importantly is that a very large number of post, article, tweet, or whatever.. Are (or in a the future will be) made by bots and that other bots reply to this said post..Basically all engagement online is artificial.. Post by bot engage by bot.. And us dummy human browsing this all day..

My theory, the whole mask enforcement thing in the last years was to train face recognition algorithms to work with limited data 😅

I think Austin looks at these conspiracies on a very basic level.

Austin went full Karen on this one.

Yakuza are involved with -most- japanese companies. Nintendo has ties to them from the Hanafuda days.

9:19 "You can't tell me that an individual making half a million dollars at the end of the day to make a button is worth that to society" Not just developers: It's probably the case that a whole lot of people are getting paid far more than what they're contributing to society, _Matt_

The Nintendo one is for rentals. I thought it was well known that rentals were why games were so hard.

NASA ONLY GETS 0.3% OF THE NATIONAL BUDGET, THAT'S WHY WE HAVEN'T DONE IT... 😮‍💨

90% Coders agree with you

I'm surprised at the FAANG acronym. I'm wondering why Microsoft isn't included over Netflix.

Sony no longer get credit of me for the whole how to share a game ad when they walked it back for ps5 and ended up doing what they memed on anyway

Matt is right, dead internet exists. Every facebook article has bot rage bait in the comments EVERY time and mulitple likes and comments from other bots.

ToTK is too much for the switch hands down. So much for it to render and it does it but it could do it better on a more powerful system.

I don't believe Sony tricked Microsoft into making the XBOne always online. I DO believe that Don Mattrick was on Sony's payroll to sabotage the Xbox brand.

Why do you guys pronounce it 'Seg-ah' when in the Genesis/Mega drive era they literally introd games with 'Say-Gah'?

9:20 no one makes $500k a year coding at all lol

Holy sh!t Matt believes in every single stupid theory lol.

Refund the irs

Lol elon hurt matt

Darpa created ai like 50 years ago

You should let Matt speak more often.

Nintendo power didn't give much info on how to get through games I had it for years

If Austin Evans is worth more than $1 million, then he’s in the one percent for the entire world

Are they not giving the answers??

*TELETON MADE IN JAPAN*

The whole thing about the conspiracy about Sony and Microsoft was that those that had an idea or were in the know, knew that Sony had multiple different options depending on how Microsoft went about in their presentation.. The big thing is whether or not they knew it was going to go exactly where it ended up going or if they changed it at the last second when they realized that everyone was losing their minds over the concept. Fanboys we’ll tell you that that was the plan a little long while those that are well-known reviewers or followers of Sony in the media, have stated that Sony had at least four or five options of where they were going to go and probably sat on multiple different forms till they came up with the best option because if you notice how they do a lot of these presentations, they duct tape this and that, and this, and that on the fly, depending on the feel of the crowd.

FWIW calling a programmer a coder is an insult.

Matt does exist, Austin has to be AI, no-one is that annoying 😂

Watch the why files. You will find out more is real than you think.

15 minutes to blast through a old game? Austin is hardcore tripping, even most single player Atari games would last longer than that! It'd take SEVERAL hours on average for most games. IF not a day or 2 the "easy" old school games. Hence the "weekend rental" concept of game design. Games were hard to AVOID being able to easily defeat them with a rental (remember the rental cost was much less than the purchase cost). Selling strategy guides and nintendo power and the like wasn't a incentive it was a side bonus because you were more likely to giv eup and play another game than to dedicate your time to beat one after a certain point.

Bots be warned!

tjumbs up becaus eELON IS PIECE OF SH and i love matt

somebody googling Elden Rings torrent looking for a pirated version of the game would just be a complete and utter idiot

I used to conduct speed enforcement utilizing fixed cameras in construction zones and I would absolutely remove speed checks from Waze. People need to be going the speed limit and paying attention through construction zones, when one wrong move could easily destroy the lives of multiple people in an instant.

The Internet trend thing is 100% true. Look at the stupid "Hawk Tuah" bullshit going on right now. Something that is completely unfunny said by some random girl has absolutely blown up to the point of her getting her own documentary? That definitely proves Matt is right.

Yes aliens exist, what the hell do you think God is. He not human of course!!!

Don't use edge don't use chrome, don't be a moron... Use anything else buy these two

7:18 min.: ..................................REALLY KYLE ?! ........... GOOD YOU ARE LEGEND ........ YOURE FIRED .... GO HOLD HANDS WITH KENNY THE A.I. TRON

Hello welcome to this is hosted by Matt. I'm going to be getting my own new show in the future You all just wait🎉❤???
