I think he 'goes with the rats.'

I can't believe both of those bees died of upnuts.

Surely you've heard of the Boston Scrumbler?

Like the little wrestlers you used to get.

If you need this shirt, say yes.

Look how they massacred my boy.

He was just bonking the soup...

Boba Fett is petrified that you might be fucking.

I don't like this clay man's bad feet.

ThingsTalk Episode 31: Nobody Likes A Crab Narc by PodHaven

The collective endorsement of orcs is a thing to be feared.

It was a fleur de lys.

...s'been a hot minute, huh? Thinking it something of a shame to leave things hanging for so long after getting some nice new art and everything, Josh (who edits the podcast when he's not busy having Deep Thoughts) has deployed a compilation of some of his favourite moments of the podcast so far, with some of the audio cleaned up a bit.

Extended Jon in on the path.

It cleams.

Thank you to Tony Vorrath for the new art! Check out @Vorratony on twitter for more of that good stuff. Folks, the energy has gone weird. There's no avoiding it, so we just have to plough through and get to the facts: a retraction needs made in the wake of CD Projekt's reign of abject bullshit, we address some huge indie hits that rose to prominence while we were away, the reccomendation floodgates open (for most of us) and we finally figure out a use for that old mansion on the moon.

This took a very long time to come out and god do I wish I was sorry about it. - J.

We look upon the astonishing works of Roberto Cuevas Guerrero in an episode that absolutely did not get abruptly cut off before we cou

There's new squoofs in our midst, and we have a public service announcement about lathes. Clearly this is a very important episode...but something's wrong...

All hell breaks loose in the Silver Tower Special as Discord - sensing a dangerous increase in chaotic energy - shits itself to death.

What stolen stonework lurks at the back door? One tiny immortal rat could have the answer.

https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ Everything is somewhat fuck, and not even the moon can escape. Unsure how to keep themselves from being forced into a conflict they were specifically trying to avoid, the Indie Haven Podcast crew turn themselves to sorting through the events that have transpired while they were gone: the itch.io bundle for racial justice, Warframe selling to Tencent in a predictable conclusion to what was supposed to be a very hopeful story, and Swery...oh fucking hell, Swery.

It's bloody unfathomable the things some people do with magic. Truly, this is what ThingsTalk was built for.

Large, weak reptiles on the podcast dot com.

The magic wind only blows around me.

The Tim Curry Distortions are making it difficult to determine what the deal is with this egg. Only "the champions" can help us now. If only we knew who they were...

We have waited for this

Podcasts are out; Scrondstry is in - as are we, finally, to talk about the state of indie games in whatever mockery of reality we all currently find ourselves in. On today's agenda: cereal, relief funds, pod racing, Bladerunner, feline shit protests, eating goat in the desert, and Josh laments the credit that was stolen from him in a recent caper.

Your favourite friends have been made into strange shapes. Look upon them and tremble.

For some time now, Elodie has been in Japan. What follows is the inside scoop on what Things she's been looking out for.

The time has come for another report.

I'm afraid the will be quite opperation when your friends arrive.

The battle-ready cast of the Indie Haven podcast take a break from *whatever it was they were doing in that tower* to discuss the pressing issues of the day: Temtem blowing the internet's mind by having looked up the word "they"; a Hellblade sequel emerging from the ether to completely miss the point; and, of course, bones. Oh, and the Discord game store closed. Oh, there was a Discord game store by the way.

If not here, then where?

Talk is cheap. Cauliflowers aren't.

Things are very, very bad. So many bad things. Just dreadful. You might want to brace yourself. Chucklefish exploiting teenagers to work on their games for free, the transphobic horror show around Heartbeat, the *homo*phobic horror show around Ion Fury, the intense scummery of Nicalis... Thank fuck otters exist. **LINKS** Polygon's Chucklefish article: https://www.polygon.com/2019/9/2/20839830/starbound-developers-chucklefish-game-industry-exploitation Statement from Stardew Valley creator: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/10/stardew_valley_creator_opts_to_self-publish_game_on_switch_amid_chucklefish_allegations Heartbeat transphobia scandal: https://www.dailydot.com/irl/heartbeat-trans-suicide-rate/ Ion Fury homophobia: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-08-26-ion-fury-to-retain-homophobia-in-game-after-all Edmund McMillen cuts ties with Nicalis: https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/the-binding-of-isaac-developer-halts-work-with-nicalis-over-allegations-of-racism-and-abuse/ A nice video of a good otter: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f3HqxE7lyvY (in case you need it after all that, as I did - J)

Time to make our move.

It's the Skeleton Special here at ThingsTalk. Bones for all, and all bones are good. Get yer skeletons here, folks. It's enough to make you drop your nuns.

What does it mean to truly choose a vole?

**CONTENT WARNING** This episode contains discussion of the subjects of abuse and suicide beginning at 29:47 and ending at 53:00. A recorded content warning has been added in front of the section to give listeners the opportunity to skip ahead if they would rather avoid these topics. The gang does their best to fulfil their podcasting obligations live from the Village of the Weird People. Two new names are slapped over a troubled past as a popular company's face is purchased, a confusing crossover event manifests, Josh has a prophetic vision of an unorthadox holiday, and a Tim Curry delay brings glad skeletal tidings...

Snootboys are always a 10.

This is not how we were told it would be.

It's basically poetry

The Indie Haven Podcast crew returns for the recurring problem special, which fittingly is the episode in which we finally talk about E3 - or at least as much of it as we cared to observe. Additionally: the gang faces a new enemy as well as the impending loss of an old friend, Bloodstained came out and is Castlevania, the Telltale situation got weirder, and Josh determines how the crew stacks up in the mother of all bank heists. Oh, and fuck G2A. Obviously.

O, how the 'Miti have fallen...

Now we are *all* in the pit...

He is always in the cloud...
