This week, we bond with dragons and their shards in Dragalia Lost by Nintendo / Cygames.

Transcript

Ten days from today. Welcome to seven days of play your Weekly. Mobile game review program. I'm Edwin. And I'm Sam, and for the past seven days, I have challenged Edwin to play a very complicated game called drug. Alia lost from Nintendo and we shall find out if it dragged on and I lost my attention. If I were to explain the regalia lost, I would say three things. Okay? One Very mobily kind of game to. It feels like a pay to win, but it's actually, I think they did

some good things here. But you know, it's like one of those games where it's like made to monetize, right? But I did not experience exactly which is actually what I'll get to later on as well. I beg your pardon and then thirdly very Japanese RPG ish role-playing game. Ish, there's dragons. You need to bond with characters. You need to have relationships. Boobs everywhere. Oh boy, I was not expecting that. So this is a sound game law. Also story in dispersed with some games.

This is essentially is kind of a lot like returners. A hero. Lot of story, smaller games, a lot more Story Time. Video game War. Story during the game. I'm seeing a pattern here. How did this happen for your need for story?

So, So, I think so. Okay, in most cases, whenever a company tries to make a game like this, It's either they didn't index enough in the story, and by getting what they seem like an RPG style, you know, like any sort of mobile pay-to-play pay-to-win sort of game, like, Clash of Clans or

whatever. That clashes, you know, any other any other game where you see a soldier or a warrior screaming showing their teeny-weeny face exactly where you have to build, like, a city where you have to, like, just upgrade Every single of the 500 facets that you have in control of you know in cases like that like I feel the stories always get lost or the stories or so inconsequential that.

It doesn't really matter what the stories are so they just like put in some random fluff that is completely nonsensical ranted. The story here is very nonsensical but the wagons all my friends. There is some sort of cohesion here where I feel They took the right steps to introduce the character to the world and to what's happening, right? Because we should say this is an original concept. This is UI P IP, meaning intellect restoring. Interesting properties.

What does IP actually stand for? When they say, like, oh, this is a new movie with a new IP intellectual property. That's not really a normal thing to say, though, is it well, movie executives are not normal people, but this is a new idea, a new story, new characters to do. Isn't Super Mario running along. It's not Legends of Zelda with halitosis of the wild, right? It is so brand-new.

This is a completely newly branched story with characters that are kind of built for you to like and enjoy some of us. Some of us might like it and enjoy it. Some of us may not. So, what did you think of the story or the game? Ooh, boy. Well, let's see. As as usual, I sort of glossed over the story of course. Because, you know, that's, I'm not here for story. I'm have a games. Give me the action, give me some action, sweetheart is what I would say. To a mobile game, very heavy on

the story. Yes, they're in fact, like three different ways that they tell the story. There is one, the full-on cutscene where it's completely animated With full voice acting, yo Q There is just to image and like different Expressions on their faces with the voice acting. And three. There is just a text with just the images, so they tell the

story in three different ways. Oh, and if you're, if you're very lucky, you'll have an animated segments, which is made by full-on like, cartoon style animations. Well, there's my favorite. I couldn't wait for those when they popped up. Now, I will say, the one thing I did appreciate is if you skip the story segment and I did, it would give you a little summary sentence of what the story was.

So the impatient people like me. Yeah, we could just skip through it like oh yeah, blah blah, blah, Dragon blob befriends, the evil Prince. We've gotta save, I don't know, my assumption, the story is your Valiant Knight, you befriend dragons and somehow turn into them with some Elemental physical things. There's like a type of elements need to collect or something or other. Well then there's evil people that you just Slaughter. Okay? So Kind of yeah.

So where I'm at your set off on this mission to collect these shards right? Charles Schulz power Crystal. Oh yeah, essentially crystals, huh? Of course, it was going on the crystals. Yep. Yep. And these crystals have a special bond with Dragons, right? Fuckin crystals, right? And in order for you, get the crystals, they're crucial because people can use them for evil, right?

So if they got into the wrong hands, they'd be able to use it for evil, which means that it's the end of the known world. As you go and collect the crystals before you actually get the crystal, you have to make a bond with a dragon because the dragon is protecting it, right? So you go into like this test of, you know, am I worthy to gain this dragons trust? And so the first section of the game is essential date with

them. You, you know, you take them out for dinner, buy them some appetizers, you know, maybe get for a 2420 at Applebee's on of the flame grilled steak. Oh nope. Sorry. Wrong choice. Dragon is no longer your friend. Oh damn it, you've got the pork so you test your might and test your might all right doesn't Mortal Kombat reference us and the dragon approves. He's like oh yes you remind me of your ancestor who first made The Pact with the dragons?

I like to think of him sitting at a speed-dating table with all these wannabe Warriors who me uh look at my crystals. So as your crystals You're about to get this Shard of power, not shark of power, shard of power. I can be unfortunate an evil version of your father, the king appears and essentially says No, that's mine. Hands off my shot, right? Don't touch my shot. Don't touch me shod. And you're like, who is this person? You're my dad but you're not my dad.

Oh no, the whole ganga. Yeah. Oh and so there is this thing going on where there's like this alternate universe. So as we unfold, there's quite a bit of story there which is actually quite intriguing but yeah, which will be lost if you're an impatient Imelda. Like I am. Yes. Okay, well, she's no story. I kind of try and get ahold of that story. That seems mildly interesting. I should say, I'm not a big fantasy person right in general.

Okay dragons, the rest of it. I mean like, yeah, Harry Potter, sure came of Thrones, yeah. Otherwise, not quite my genre normally for a game like this, like that kind of story would kind of just go above my head, or like, I would not have the patience to actually read through it, you know? But I do feel like, in this particular game, they made the writing Redirect. And, like, without that much fluff words, and that's what I realized.

Like it quite well written. It's quite well written, despite the subject matter like, it's actually like, to the point. No, silly fluff words that make you, you know, read 20 lines of stuff for just like, one line of meaning. And so, I was able to like, just, you know, actually go along with it because it was, it was, you know, it depicted the characters really well, gave a little bit inside of to the personalities and actually kept the story. Without dragging on. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Drugging lost. Did we find out what Drew Galia was and why it was lost no-till mystery? Oh no there's no. There's no reason why this is called regalia loss. As you predicted on last week's episode much like Bravely Default. There is like, no meaning to these silly names. I don't even think your Galley is like a name of something. Yeah, they named like 17. Other things that are kind of sounds like it sounds like Drew Gooden, but But yeah, nothing. What did you name?

Your main character? Let's see. I don't even remember, I will be honest, this does not bode well for our 7-Day rating. As I think the default is, you didn't ya? Oh yeah, the music's. Great music is something. That's again, very Sam. All right. I don't know how to fuck well. Maybe this is one segue into slightly. Baffling point is you have no idea what a pain anywhere, the screen is button vomit. It really is.

Then I could tap, I think times on the screen and I could find about different buttons to tap each time. Oh mine. I'm dragon's blood. Prince, any name. Because as usual, all the names, I thought of it would not let me use really Panda queef. Nope. I want to see their list of names to Hawaii. Let's go to the 3X3. Let's do the 3 by 3 is 3 things. Good and three things not so good Original Ip. I think we need to applaud any time a movie studio, or game Studio comes out.

We like an original idea. I feel the need to applaud them. It's so easy. Like, so much today is this, like, oh, we can't build anything without an existing audience. So we have to recycle these books Comics. Yep. Anything make that a movie. Make that a game because we've got these inbuilt audience already. So, Nintendo's, taking the neck out, with, like, completely new characters, completely random, but random idea.

Yeah, I mean, also, Very nice that doesn't seem particularly tailored to a western audience, maybe that is my limited purview, but anime dragons and stuff. I'm like, yeah. Is that what is that? Kind of, what a popular game would look like in America? I don't know, it's kind of, its kind of bored. Like I do feel like they are sticking their neck out or something like this. And you don't normally see Nintendo during this, where there's so much Japanese

influence with the game, right? And kept it to its Japanese Roots. Like, Mom is Italian plumber. Has exactly like even the music still having the Japanese words in the music and Japanese singer is singing. The music that's a big step or a western audience. And I feel like Nintendo is actually making the right steps for for this game, in particular, for an audience to really discover what Japanese games are all about only few

other companies do this. Like Atlas is another one where they kind of persevere with like the Cultures and people really dig it for that right. They actually love these games because it is so Japanese Centric. Yeah. And I feel like Nintendo here is making a pretty good move with keeping things so raw and kind of untranslated. So yeah, I really loved it. I like the IP. I think the characters while it's kind of generic for like a anime type jrpg, right?

Like it's pretty well developed. Hmm okay yeah. If you skip over the stories, these are just Bland Heroes doing things that I didn't really sure what. And I think I mean, to the point where I am, like, nothing is really stuck out as. Wow, this is great and revolutionary. It's all sort of typical, you know, for the king, I must do this, my mission, my sister is here to protect me, sort of deal, right? And that was all my good point. So the packaging of the game is,

is Like the production. I mentioned like the music the way that it feels like a complete package. You can tell this game existed long before the game was released. Right. It's pretty polished. Yeah it's very polished. We're supposed to take them a year to figure out how to fit 500 buttons on the screen at once. That's a lot of testing. Yeah you know just a little things of introducing you to the 28 different buttons that are on the screen, but also the way like the characters interact

with each other. So I think the whole point of this game is Is for you to try and collect as much characters as possible, right. Go to collect them all. Yeah. Like the monetization part of this is directly related to the people that you summoned to help you out, right? And they do this like really interesting thing of, you know, the main menu of the screen

after you've gone through. Like all the entrance stuff you're just like sort of walking through the this road, but as you walk through you, you see the characters that you've collected so far, like walk beside you, you know, Right? And they interact with you in ways that are like really cute like they say like little one-liners that you can actually hear. And just like that polish though, the way that that sort of real time and it's done with a real Graphics is done very, very well.

Another good thing for me. You know, I think there's a conscious effort to make this like, casual yet invigorating. Yeah, there is. There's a term here which I feel it's like my need for mobile games these days. It's like I don't want to do much but I want to do something where it makes me feel like I did something a little bit more than matching some color blocks. Exactly. Like I think hold down is a great example, where a part of

your brain can kind of shut off. But the things that you do allows Or pretty good results and makes you feel like yes I have accomplished something, right?

And I think the way that the gameplay is actually done allows for this to happen, where it's like sure you're going through a store and you're entertained, you can kind of go through it without thinking a lot, but when the gameplay will actually comes in, it's it's pretty streamlined to wear like, you don't really need to be thinking about stuff, but if you don't do it, you'll actually fail. And I think that's, that's like a pretty good balance to strike. Like in a mobile game, only have

a rebuttal to that. Yeah but we'll save it for the batteries. Yeah, my final good point is that this wild the story and all that stuff may seem a little generic. I felt like they did a pretty good job and actually coming up with a new and invigorating way to get you involved. Like I didn't think it was that silly. That's a that's a quote for you right there. I didn't know you've been saying shards of power speed dating with Dragons.

I didn't find it quite silly, seven days to play five stars on Tuesday, bad points onto the bad points, hoo, boy, I mean, to quote Verbatim, what I wrote is my first bad point baffling menu, I that rewards you with simplistic. Tedious gameplay, this is crazy. This is Christian, are do Ronaldo. Those kickoff Chicken Run level of Bonkers amount of buttons. I think is even more buttons, to be honest. Yeah, this is even more buttons than the slot on Legends before they cleaned up the buttons.

Because it's not only a bazillion buttons. There's also tabs and they have a bazillion buttons on. And to be honest, I couldn't even tell you what these buttons are. I don't even Taps half of these buttons home upgrade teams Castle, summon more events. Join a co-op. Jumpstart Endeavors. Special events. Yeah, I mean, oh my gosh, this is banana pants. I can't understand. I even, I would forget how to start the game.

I guess this beige and I'm like, okay, well, I want to play and then it's like the lower third of the screen on the right is as quests, and that's actually need to play the game. So now you're going to tap on that and then you add a little map, they have a tap on the chapter 0 and then you get Get chapter for one of four, he would tap on that and then a baffling screen comes up where you need to choose the people to play the thing with you. I guess. Yeah. That's that.

Which was just like. I like I can click on optimize which brings up an even more baffling menu screen. We're okay. Sure. All optimized and then again you get the tiny big win. Big win Quest. And now oh you might ask about to play a game. Yes you can play a game. and you get to play a game, which is Few minutes, it's too many is also like regardless of the characters I chose. I mean I've played, so yeah, I'm up to chapter 4, which means I probably played five or six levels all of them.

I've beaten first time not really knowing what I'm doing. You can use it to just walking walking around and these pop-up that's happened. You / them. Yeah. And then you got some buttons underneath where you can turn into a dragon. Do something involving Overdrive. That's about it at no time. Did I ever feel that was like, strategy or I was being like learning how to play it. Better never stop sneaking as you came to mind as a game.

That does this? Well, yeah, that you're walking about all this because some tactics and bit of strategy and actually kind of fun to play. Whereas here it's just very tedious and simplistic. It's really strange because the more like I'm at a point now where I can actually set, The auto mode. Okay. Which oh yeah. So like in the fighting part if you set auto mode, it will just do it for you.

Don't even actually have to tap. So, it got me thinking, like, where is the game here right now, you've to Galia lost the game? Yeah. Is and I think this is sort of like goes, you know, like the bigger question of the game is like is the game actually about like collecting this? Like is it just to like continue to lie? This. So that you, you get whatever gems, whatever, 500 of the gems

that you need, right? Actually just like collect everyone and get them to the highest level is a clicker. Masquerading is no PG. Yeah. And I think that's exactly what this is. And I think we've seen there are other games that kind of do this without the story, right? Yeah. And I think this just sort of packages it and a different way and because I'm a I'm not a story guy, there's then we take away the story and then there's no this is T is gameplay, there's kind of Nothing Left, Right?

Just such a strange, just like, if someone hadn't told me I would never guess, this was a Nintendo game. Yeah, it does not feel like a Nintendo game at. All right. I do feel like it's it is a very high quality mobile game that's made in Japan. Yeah. That Nintendo felt like, okay, the quality here is good enough to call it a Nintendo game. Right? Because it was largely developed by another studio right now. Yeah. Until you put their brand new stamp of approval on it.

Yeah. Go put that loading screen on Nintendo. Yeah. Yeah. - you just steal candy floss. You your enticed by this sort of sugary pink wonder who? What is this? And you put in your mouth? Like oh oh, it's kind of tastes quite good. Oh, but then you very quickly realize is just vapid and nothing's there and we'll just left holding a stick.

The gameplay does get super repetitive and I think that's really like the down part of it, but I keep thinking back to like, hey, this kind of feels like Diablo. Which is a PC game. Okay. If you have never heard of like expression said it all and you know the same thing you do is like you go into a dungeon you hack and slash right. You all you do is you're clicking the mouse kind of mindlessly clicking the mouse.

It's sort of I mean they're going to be Parts where it's like exciting because you're about to die but you just go in there Hack and Slash and all you're really doing is trying to level up your person. To get the better weapons and to get the better gear and that's all that's a game, right? Like the game isn't really about the hacking and slashing, it's about you collecting these items. And I feel like, that's kind of what this is. This is all about just collecting the people.

Hmm. Maybe experiencing the story secondary and this the actual fighting is like third. We have attempted to buy one of the upgrade packs or welcome packs. Yeah, I think I will. Yeah, I think I will like Like if there's anything that I like there is he's collecting carriages and assorted woman and befriending Dragons, thankfully not big-breasted Dragon, so hmm. Maybe why not gonna like? I don't know if it's that kind of game, I'm going to bash the UI some more.

Okay. So in addition to be confusing, it's just really difficult to even start a game. I haven't played this game for maybe a day and I picked up Morning and I just for fun counted. The number of TAPS, it took twenty eight Taps from launching the game to actually playing a level, which is bananas. I had to like bananas. Well, I'm sure we'll talk about the download things soon. Oh, yeah. Downloading a play, The Daily Game. There's read this story. There's choose your characters.

It's just so Bonkers. Yeah. Like who is going to sit there and tap 28 times, just play this down game. They also love arrows. Oh yeah, the real there are Three arrows on screen telling you, which direction you're going in.

It's just so kill Arius. There's have been like some focus group with a really concerned that players won't know which direction they're running in without three arrows because you get the Giants Arrow, where you tap on the screen, which takes up probably an eighth of the screen which serves no purpose. Yeah. You know, is where your thumb is moving? You have an arrow around your player again indicating the area

they're running. Yeah, well the player is running in that direction too so you can surmise the direction it running. There's a mini map on top with an arrow showing, which way you're running. Like, I know which way I'm running. Like, I understand you sure is your thumb going the right way? I don't even tell you, you can you can control your character from anywhere on the screen, but we recommend the lower third, because this giant ass arrows it'll cover up everything.

It's just so crazy. I don't understand. This is why I got annoyed, sure. You're not lost in this game, right? They take the title, very seriously. It's like, hey, I know it says reality of loss but we really don't want you to be lost. Here. You gotta drag that are oh so you're not lost. That should be the name of the game call. You are. Oh, I know. Yeah. There's just it's just one of those decisions. This baffling is maybe three different teams.

I won t, Maids other machines are one team, made the character design or nearly 13 made the UI or let it touch you. I and each time I like oh yeah we had put an arrow on, that's truly somebody. It is, you get three hundred arrows on the screen, the number of arrows actually didn't strike me as odd. It just seemed sort of All that go awesome about the right amount of arrows. Okay, we do have to talk about this download thing though because this is not a game that's friendly or no internet

connection at all. Oh boy. Yeah. Oh boy. Every single mission that you have to do. You have to download at least like two megabytes of the. I don't know what it is. Yeah. Is it the background? Is it? The characters that are in there? Is it the voice something? I don't understand like why this game was so large to begin with when we're going through the Callahan's, right? Yeah. Like two-and-a-half Kings a download to begin with, right. And then seemingly it every like mini chapter.

There's little pop-up. Oh good. A download another 100 Meg's. And this is, these are set chapters. It's not like a branching tree of choices. You made all the choices rights, assemble a new level for you. Yeah, it's baffling. It is baffling. You also cannot play it without internet connection at all. Which is silly, which is crazy. I think it just seems to me. That was just a sign that didn't end. Oh, just doesn't quite get

mobile games. I mean, perhaps they're being made in, you know, the technological Paradise, there's Japan where there is blanketed in warm, wonderful, Speedy, Wi-Fi at all times, that's absolutely true. I mean, Japan and Korea both have when using internet connections where the phones are like the primary devices that use internet connection. So yeah. But you know you come to New York and I almost backed up, you know, but you won't be playing this game.

Yep. And then even if you are, you like, oh well am I going to spank 300 Meg downloads to play this next level like on my Verizon 3G? Like no I'm not it's just yeah it's just so it's just so weird. I mean the fact that they actually have to download it to play then it's sort of silly. Where yeah it's like maybe like even please download. Yes. Right. There's only one bag. There's one path you're gonna go.

You're gonna do that chapter next if you want to be able to do that chapter next just like have it. Ready. Okay. Yeah, any other bad point said, one, that is it surprisingly, how many days seven days? Three. Wow, I applaud you for that trying. I tried, but no. Yeah, I play 47. Well, how far did you get Sam? What what chapter might you be up on? Let me open up drug. Are you lost? We come back in 5 minutes.

Once a downloaded, the new You updates collected all the daily bonuses, and select these characters. It's getting there. So I'm in chapter one part for the Miss, Holt, the Miss Holt, okay? And I've completed that okay, well, strangely enough, I'm also in chapter one number for the Miss Holt, but I'm in chapter 1, the heart of the forest. Yeah, I'm at the end of it. Do you understand stuff about matching elements that of your team to the dragons or the bosses you can be fighting?

Not really no. Jimmy you ever fail a level? No ever. No, yes, yeah, I mean, it's not only super easy to play to the actual levels. You can set it on auto mode L just like blast through it. When I realized never stop sneaking, does the like Auto attack for you, I thought, wow, what a boring game you'll be. But actually, that turned out to be kind one of the longest running games. Actually, I played.

Yeah, just because they did such a good job, be like the strategy and kind of replayability, whereas they did not have it here. It's yeah, I really try. I'm trying to find out even why I like it. Because it has great J-pop at the beginning. It's true. That's why will you be playing more of this game? Absolutely not. And I will be freeing my phone up of three gigabytes of space.

Okay, I'm actually going to be playing a little bit more to find out what exact because I think there's a campaign. There's like a said, campaign. The story is semi intriguing. Hmm. So I'm going to finish it out. I just unlocked all the tabs on the bottom screen so I can wait, I know my section. And I now have a section where I can improve my castle. She's didn't even know you had a castle. But gracious, very much, like clan of clash Clash has that all maybe design home.

Imagine a interior design element to it, nothing like that. I'm sorry. You never know. All right, we'll check in next week, with a new segment is Sam still playing regalia lost or is Sam completely lost. Now it's my turn to choose. Hmm. Oh, the trepidation I was that, oh, just wondering how to This up, it is but it's not a golf game. Oh my God, that's just me. Cold sweat few units. There is no goal for the foreseeable future Sam. You have seven days to play

hordes of enemies. Hmm, a fun pick up and play Roller, bralet, brawler, brawler was a hard word for British people to say, wow, Rolla brawler. It was fun. That attracts me to it, pick up and play. Yes, brawler sure. Yeah. Yeah, this looks great. It's fun to Muncie. Destroy bad guys. Try it. The game is a single-player horde /wave survival High School game designed for short bursts of entertainment. Hello, you're speaking my language with simple tap or swipe based controls.

Hello. Anyone can easily pick up and play without going through complex tutorials? Thank you. You you hear this is an Edwin game. Hordes of enemies features, three movie-inspired scenes to play with each with different enemies. The Last Samurai, a Samurai and his katana. Nami of ninja zombie apocalypse:. A girl in a baseball bat against the waves of Undead against the waves of Undead yellow make sense, the chosen one hero must face countless amounts of agents

in a brawl fight. Now, in the movie that is hmm Matrix. Yes, yes yes. Lots of great game features. Optional, blood effects. Hmm, animated iMessage stickers. That's a point. Number two iMessage stickers, they had me at I beseech stickers. It is available now for free. With in-app purchases. I believe. All right, I'm looking forward to this Edwin. Oh, that is a genuine this time. Excellent. Everyone thinks of the week, over breakouts of this entertainment-based, thing of the week box.

We've got trapped in. Okay. I'm is a, might think of the week, the week is to actually do things that I say. I'm going to do though, is this like action notes for yourself that and you're actually going to do them? Yeah, I think in this, in this, modern culture, it has become so endemic. The people do Just go. Yeah, we'll do it but actually not that. I am trying to consciously

notice. When I do that I say and then not do it or at least be very make a very deliberate effort to think about things, I say yes to and then do them if I say yes. But then also say, no, it's a little bit. Like one of those books you had back in the old book club days, minimalism essentialism the essentialist Essentialism essentialism by Greg McCune McCowen McEachern Kyurem. Yeah yeah only two and a half years up, reread it. I'm actually gonna try and put into practice.

Okay, so we will see how this goes. Can you give me an example of something a little trivial example, but I think is something that many of us would do, and that is only week I had said to, you know, some friends like, oh yeah, well, if we go for drinks on Friday and it's just a there very easily without actually. Meaning it, right? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And then, of course, Friday, things around and I'll show you what we're doing and ends up there over drinks. In Jersey City.

Mmm, which as you know, yeah, that's a death trap for anyone in Manhattan, but I said, no, I as much as I wanted to go home. I said, no no, Ed. When you had said, yes, and you shall go to Jersey City. How is he did go? I went, I was, he said no to yourself, I said no to saying, no? Okay, because I'd said, yes, right. And I think, in the past, I would have flaked. Yeah, maybe mean like oh sorry.

Something came up. I can't make it or some other BS. Excuse will have a headache or whatever, but no, I went and I had some delightful drinks on a rooftop in Jersey City, overlooking the Manhattan skyline and I was home by 10:00 our great. So, I was quite proud of myself, but I say there was a thing that was going to that. I said I do. I think the old days I probably would not done it. Yeah but just being just noticing myself and going you know what know you are going to do it.

I did it. Yeah so I mean I sound like a trivial example know exactly in the past that is something I totally would have just. The thing is like I can totally relate to that. Right? There are so many times where I say, sure I'll come out to your party on Saturday. And I'm Han and I live in New Jersey and there's no way there's no way I'm gonna be coming out on Saturday night to just have drinks with you, right? So I totally I completely

understand. No and maybe one day I'll get there but until then I'm going to continue to be a flake and or just pretend like I'm trying really hard to make it there on the flip side of that is saying no to things. I think the hardest thing is fighting the fomo. Right. Yeah, yeah. The police will be could say. Yeah, I think that's and social media doesn't make it easier as well, because you're there.

Sat at home saying, oh, you said no to this party, but you see all your friends at this party schedule their refreshing Instagram. It will every five minutes, right? And I'm like this is this is not fun at all like I should have I should have gone. It's and more reasons why you shouldn't be a flake or at least just be deliberate about it. Yeah. So have a good reason. To be truthful to yourself. Yeah. And two others know.

So, stay tuned for next week when we shall, we visit and see how I'm getting on with, is anyone still a flake of deliberateness?

Good to know and I hear they've done a pretty good job of actually realizing the Manhattan geography pretty accurately. It's probably one of the best-looking Manhattan games since like That Grand Theft Auto game. That was based in Liberty City. The don't call it New York City. Yeah. What have you do?
