0:00.0	All right, well, before we, before I do the cringy intro and stuff, Joe, just like, how is your, how has your, like, the start of 2025 been for you?
0:31.8	It was great and then it got really busy and really exciting really quickly like literally this week things
0:38.9	have just gone from like zero to 11 which is great but I tend to be a kind of a sleepy start to the
0:46.1	year kind of guy so this has been a way of a wake-up call I literally just before this call I had to
0:51.5	send out a bunch of keys for our first release of 25, so that's
0:55.4	exciting. Has any of this been exacerbated by all the Switch 2 news? Well, I'd say all the Switch 2
1:00.8	news at the time of recording this, the Switch 2 has been shown, and that's it. There's still
1:07.1	like nothing known about it. Well, nothing known concrete about it.

1:43.3	So because of 7 is like first or second week of February, I think. some time for like our game which is going to be releasing at the end of jan so um because sevens
1:45.7	like first or second week of february i think so they released slightly after ours but their
1:50.7	embargoes are up sooner so it's one of those things we're always looking at and trying to just
1:55.7	make sure we're trying to be smart and consider it to pressing creators so that they can fit everything in
2:01.6	that they want to play because we know people are excited about our games but we know people
2:05.2	are excited about lots of games so we're trying not to be kind of like pushy or or diva
2:10.2	about it and we just try to make sure everyone have to plenty of time to to work their
2:13.5	schedule basically especially when it's something like strategy games right
