[@Ms5000Watts]

Thank you for having me it was so fun to hangout with the boys for a few hours and thank you for all the kind comments everyone. I don’t upload much on KZbin these days but I’m always streaming and love being able to interact with everyone ❤

[@DragonWizdom]

I enjoy Nikke too and appreciate your return on the podcast. Thanks!

You did great😊

[@lilseanrobinson158]

I appreciate the time stamps coach 🔥🔥

[@absm00thMusic]

God tier work

[@Majveia]

Don't get gaslighted into posting timestamps, let the guy do it himself. He's been posting podcasts for 2 years now and still can't even consistently add timestamps to his vids.

[@NexusJake97]

@Majveia I don't think you know what gaslighting means Me: primariliy listens to the podcasts on Spotify and starts doing timestamps cause it helps me keep track of the convos going on cause I sometimes get distracted, forget where I left off and forget the topics that are being discussed and then just posts them on the KZbin comment section, was not asked to do this by anyone in GI You: YOU'RE BEING GASLIGHTED BRO HUR DUR

[@Majveia]

​@@NexusJake97 "Congrats! You're officially responsible for timestamps on all future and previous episodes. (we're joking ... or are we?! )" I was referring to this comment which came DIRECTLY from GiUpdates on the podcast "Stellar Blade Proved One Thing (Gi Podcast Ep.155)" I was kinda of joking about the gaslighting, but if you look at the definition of gaslighting it could fit this context. "Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic in which a person, to gain power and control of another individual, plants seeds of uncertainty in another person's mind. The self-doubt and constant questioning slowly cause the individual to question their reality" You're missing my point, you shouldn't be the one adding timestamps to his podcast is a basic feature that significantly improves people podcast experience that vast majority of podcaster have included in their comment section. But who knows, maybe you just you enjoy doing it because it's helping people out if it's for that very reason, I totally get it. Me: "primariliy listens to the podcasts on Spotify and starts doing timestamps cause it helps me keep track of the convos going on cause I sometimes get distracted, forget where I left off and forget the topics that are being discussed and then just posts them on the KZbin comment section, was not asked to do this by anyone in GI" Instead, of being defensive, maybe try considering my angle about the situation. If he added timestamps, it could save you some time while listening on Spotify and KZbin.

[@MalikATL]

Ms5000Watts? haven't seen her since 2011

[@imfungshway]

Y’all dropped this as soon as I clock out . Cmon man

[@ryanchan6684]

Save it for tomorrow haha

[@shawnsmith4191]

In the middle of work right now, perfect for me lol

[@AtAnimal17]

i said the same thing😂

[@stepback_1237]

As soon as I clocked in👹

[@Minusperfection]

This comment too real

[@TheArtofKAS]

Another 3 hour banger in the bag. And with Watts this time! Gets go!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@JFromDreamville]

I personally wanna say I love the longer episodes

[@rukaru]

The mass effect tangent was the most nerdy, inside joke shit and it was hilarious. I wish I had a group of people I could joke with about games like this.

[@chriss.249]

Stellar cakes was pretty cool. I feel it's story and characters were really similar to Megaman X. Where I saw 2/3 boss fights coming. The music was interesting, some were straight vibes. The combat was similar to Sekiro like u said. Seeing Ms lady body an enemy when u stagger them and get that finisher was raw💪🏾 Them outfits tho...🥵😂 I don't get what about em is censored All in all, I think it's interesting how shift up starts with a mobile game and then drops a console one. I can see it gettin a sequel too wit what it set up. Edit: 1 of the things that i kinda wished we got was a giant boss battle. Dont get me wrong some of the bosses are huge compared to her, but i was expecting some godzilla sized mònsters. Like 1 we saw at the start shooting at ships. I also hope we get a dlc that allows us to spend more time with characters we got very little of in the game. Like Tachy and -Spoilers-. Id like to play as them

[@Jahranimo_]

Yooooo Ms5000Watts back on the GI pod! Throwback 🔥

[@HomelessGurl]

Aye been waiting for this one. Glad to see yall got Ms Watts back on! 🎉 EDITED: Great podcast episode! #ethosdontplaynogames

[@Pengowirr]

19:28 for Stellar Blade

[@Xxandrew01]

Thanks!

[@cg219]

Ms5000Watts tho ! I havent seen her in mad long

[@deelo721]

I’ve never seen her face just always heard her voice , low key thought she was black 🥴😂

[@UncoloredPageGaming]

Good to see yall being honest about the Xbox stuff, yall were one of the very few people I remember saying it was good for business that Xbox bought all these studios, it’s tragic killing all these jobs like this

[@arytonpreacher6276]

Another great episode, more gems, more info and a lot of laughs. S/O too Ms5000Watts for appearing on the pod and #EthosDontPlayNoGames 😂😂😂

[@ghostphil6030]

On one hand I only heard of Stellar Blade, because of all the back and forth about Eve's looks before the release. I watched gameplay and though, that it feels a lot like a PS2/PS3 era game. I bought a PS5 to play the demo and maybe return the console afterwards, but than the gameplay was so fun, that I sadly had to keep the console and pre-order the game. Now I am in NG+ and still have as much fun as when I played the demo. So yeah, nowadays there still can be games that are just a full bundle of fun 😊

[@KuuchiMane]

Got me feeling like a kid again seeing Ms5000 watts lmao great vid

[@flvckoVLONE]

We ain’t seen sis in YEAAAAARSSSS.. the OG gaming waifu back fr‼️🙏🏾😂

[@TheFathemac]

Yeah glad yall brought her as a main cast, I'm a little late but this was a good ass episode, they are always good though 😂

[@Xxandrew01]

Came for Stellar Blade and I was impressed. Have a sub. :)

[@Kjjjay]

I can’t wait to play this at work tomorrow lol Shoutout to GI

[@Razeeq623]

I haven't seen GI collab with Watts since like 2015 or 16. Good to see

[@BlasianBuilt]

[@toyin71]

[@bossbradley]

[@RAGENwithSNIPE]

Great content!

[@cellyurr]

[@ultimaballer]

[@xlTOK3Nlx]

Ethos's reaction to Ms5000 Watts saying steam deck was one of the funniest moments of the show 😆😆😆😆

[@sty1es234]

Another banger episode 🔥. Keep em coming!! I love the addition of Watts in this episode. Yalls chemistry is so good #EthosDontPlayNoGames😂

[@RobertFierce]

Good Sirs and Madam, I'll have you know I'm very active on twitter and work a full time job and even I, got 140 hours in Stellar Blade. About to finish it second time and go to my third playthrough for that platinum trophy. And yes I love playing dress up and hunting for new things nobody else found in game yet Almost fully upgraded Eve and the unlockable difficulty mode is OP. It's definitely GOTY for me. Hoping to speedrun this game once I find more glitches that help bypass certain long areas.

[@chriss.249]

37:08 Guilty as charged😂 I be picking fits that fit the setting and the ear rings/hair to go wit it. Shame u cant really change her kicks. Getting her timbs, black air forces for boss battles, pumps, and Jordans😂

[@Ty.DotDot]

mane i gotta save this for tomorrow

[@HeroOfJusticeYT]

3 HOURS man o man

[@brendongrandberry-mclean1750]

I had no idea there was a setting for fishing 29:18

[@phillipssteven45]

They right on time I have work tomorrow 😌

[@petermoreno333]

Yo i love stellar blade, the game blew me away yo!

[@Sk8erGoku]

W Podcast. Really enjoyed the marvel rivals and xbox sections. #ethosdontplaynogames

[@ugmo0722]

Yall drop this as soon as i wake up come on man

[@antonioperalta1975]

What y’all said about 2B, I agree.

[@whotfisjason7870]

Damn I saw the different thumbnail and thought yall hit us with a double upload 😭

[@OnyxRanger09]

He changed the thumbnail like 4 times now

[@muppetbehumble101]

The big 3 hours dope epic you guys 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gphjr1444]

another great pod thanks

[@Nelser]

#freestellarblade - The petition is 90,000 plus. Don't allow developers to run their agendas on "you..." the consumer. If they allow the censorship then they should change rating to T for Teens. They promoted an uncensored rated M game for years now and flip flopped!!!! #cancelsony -Sign the free stellar blade petition!!

[@brandonfrye2000]

Been waiting 😅🎉

[@JoshValdez1996]

TBH got a point about physical collections being worth something. Y'all remember the Deadpool game that got delisted? Now physical copies of the XB1/PS4 version go for like $80+. From the bargain bin to the behind glass at the game store and it's not even 10 years old. lol These niche JRPGs and shit are going to go crazy. I think it's good for sellers but def sucks for people who just want to play the games on OG hardware.

[@ant6152]

Big props to GI the only gaming community where there can be a woman on screen and not have the comments be an incel meet and greet

[@chriss.249]

25:27 Yeah i aint expect them Leviousa areas to be like that. I just thought itd be a computer room not a whole resident evil/dead space level. I had to do the 1st one at night lol

[@tmonk98]

The community doesn't like Soul Calibur 6? I've been part of the competitive scene for SC since 2013, and 6 is easily the competitive scene's favorite since SC2. That game succeeded casually and competitively.

[@BelmontMesna]

TBH is definitely misinformed about it. I had to do a double take when he said that.

[@redsagexxv]

#ethosdontplaynogames another great podcast episode. Was dope seeing watts on again!

[@JoshValdez1996]

It's funny when y'all mention the hardcore casuals tho cause that's been me lately these last few years. I keep up with games through this podcast but I'm so detached from what's popular. I play like 5 single player games a year top, rest of my time is spent on Fortnite or DBD, some kind of F2P game with the homies who only no life said F2P games. Ethos got a point though, those games are designed to keep you hooked. Like Fortnite is just different enough with each update that it always feels fresh when I go back to it.

[@larrymeadows7535]

"Watts tell them" had me rollin

[@TheGabe1991]

been years since seeing her good stuff

[@THEGHETTOGEEK20]

I was looking at Ashley Tisdale the entire episode

[@SuperRONDALE]

What game are you streaming on this vid?

[@xehanort3623]

What is the test they are talking about at 2:22:00 video game Is franchise?

[@icytangus6683]

3 hour podcast I fucking love it

[@6lackwolf]

No cap @Watts been ya best guest, she pretty much contributed Ethos 33%

[@DragonWizdom]

I find the conversation about the ai help in games very interesting. Isn’t the lock on feature that we take for granted in so many games also an ai feature that makes us better as players? At what point does AI involvement in a game become too much?

[@cloud6531]

i ❤ Watts in this. i see the vision

[@winloseorrug7099]

Jg gotta stop going into games expecting them to play like previous games he played. Same thing he said about No rest for the wicked he said about Rise of ronin😂😂

[@thepopup]

hell yeah bro honestly yall helped bring me out the 60 percent and into the 40 , i commented under one of TBHs videos i was a die hard 2k , madden , gta nigga for yearrs until i tapped in , i just did a new game+ run on ghost of tsushima and im about 75-80 hours in on elden ring, thank yall truly 💪🏾

[@Super_Broly]

Nothing wrong with GTA, all these souls copies though 😒

[@FL1PZ00M]

You are on the better side now

[@ArchieTheThird]

Glad to see Ms5000Watts again after so long✨🤎🔥

[@TrevieTrev]

Clutch for the night shift

[@Xavier__]

3 Hour Pod

[@zeke9950]

The PSN thing has so much misinformation, you can still create an account in countries do yall research Coming from a place of love

[@RAGENwithSNIPE]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@marquisbush8985]

Nice Ms5000watts is awesome!!

[@mikle_webber]

My personal policy is to not buy new games, unless it's an IP I'm ok supporting even if the game doesn't hit the mark. The last two brand new games I bought were Hogwarts Legacy and One Piece Odyssey because I wanted to support new video game ideas for those franchises. I don't trust games to play well on release date and I don't have the time, or money, to invest in things that don't work. I played Jedi Survivor a full year after its release and still had bugs that required me to restart the game in multiple sections. I'm not spending $70 on a game I need to restart every other chapter, but I'm willing to support developers and deal with those headaches at a lower price point.

[@LyriaAstralius]

Gundam evolution would've lasted longer as a third person shooter tbh. Third Person makes these team games with cool skins more valuable and worth playing

[@dantevilloch7784]

Time stamps?

[@NotJoel47]

#EthosDontPlayNoGames Another great pod for the books…we need watts as a permanent member, she a OG too🤣

[@chriss.249]

Noti gang💪🏾

[@bodabodaguy3193]

Damn bruh I’m able to finally understand the mass effect jokes and references since I played the trilogy back in 2022💪🏾💪🏾 lil late but better late than never 🤣

[@Augors]

I would only us the PS6 AI for farming stuff.🤣🤣🤣😭

[@kashmoneymylz]

fireeeee

[@PrinceDonArt]

Ethos gotta download Delta and play those old Pokémon games

[@NostraSamus]

While the Switch will be comparable to the PS4 pro in specs, it will have more advanced architecture than the PS4, so I can see games performing better. PS4 Pro came out in 2017, so it is likely using 2015 architecture or older. Newer architecture is more efficient and can use things like DLSS and/or FSR.

[@kennethM]

2:48:32 yea i think they will . I remember like a few years back konami basically did the same thing with the yugioh duel links mobile game. They added a button that let you say nice to you opponent aftee a match and we all used it to taunt our oppoonent after we beat them really bad. so they changed it so that you can only see the "nice" if you beat them and they sent it or if you both sent it. ppl getting real soft.

[@HeroOfJusticeYT]

The helldivers 2 thing happened the way it did because those people have been role playing for months at this point. So switching from hating evil aliens and robots to the super rich real life company was easy

[@ItsJusFun]

👍👍👍

[@rahahtheking6160]

[@TheKai432]

Dag as a 27 year old I wonder how much longer I got until I don't wanna play the 100hr games like tbh lol.

EA gonna add commercials to fifa and madden and ncaa. Will say it's for emersion to make you feel like you watching a game on TV lol

[@Rhekon]

#ethosdontplaynogames I completed tedious stellar blade side quests during this podcast. It's a lot of em before the game hard locks.
