You can become a member by making a small monthly pledge hereShow notesIn a packed edition of Spotlight, we start our Discourse Digest segment with a dive into the men's 5000m, where non-African athletes have taken control of the rankings and victories so far in 2025. Is this an aberration, or the beginning of a trend in distance running? We discuss what might be shifting in the sport to close the gap.Next, we explore the phenomenon of athletes switching national allegiance—this time with Jamaican sprinters now competing for Turkey. Ross and Gareth look at historical examples from track, rugby, cricket and football, while defending the right of athletes to make these switches, and the necessity for sport to minimize them. Discussion shifts to the case of a trans cricketer who has claimed “no advantage” based on test results and comparisons to females. Both the science and logic behind the appeal are bluntly rebutted by Ross, who explains how the science is being misused, and that these "data snapshots" actually reveal a mediocre male with advantage rather than a trans athlete without advantage. We also return to youth sport after Gareth flagged eye-catching performances by 10- and 13-year-olds in the UK. While their talent is undeniable, we ask whether early hype might do more harm than good?In Ross Replies (30:00), Ross has an 'off-week', because listener Ewan Morris' fascinating insights carry the segment. He explained how some young athletes experience an expiratory flow limitation during breathing, because lung growth outpaces airway development, as yet another challenge that adolescent athletes experience in the journey to adulthood.In Listener Lens (33:51), we respond to Sean's question about muscle cramps in an ultrarunner he coaches. Ross breaks down two theories—electrolytes vs. fatigue-induced failure of neural regulation—and explains why cramp is far more about the nervous system than sodium and magnesium. We also learn the fascinating reasons why pickle juice may work... but not for the reasons people think, and offer suggestions for what Sean might consider adding to the plan.In Center Stage (53:33), we revisit sports science's replication crisis. Gareth shares his frustration at the sciences, while Ross explores the structural issues behind shaky science, and offers a partial defence of the failures to produce robust science.And Finally (1:15:16), we look ahead to Faith Kipyegon's attempt at a sub-four minute mile, which haunted Ross' dreams, and we make our predictions.Some linksDistance running shifts: Aberration or a narrowing gap?A review exploring the causes of muscle crampsStudy showing that electrolyte loss is not associated with muscle crampThe pickle juice effect Hosted on Acast.

Dimes and Judas discuss Trump holding the President of South Africa to account for all the murdered Whites, James Comey announcing a new false flag with weird seashell math, and a tour through the failed scammers Dimes has known in his life. After discovering a study showing most English majors in college can't read properly, they swing into a review of the book “Stalin's War: A New History of World War II” by Sean McMeekin. An exhaustive exploration of Stalin's agitation of international conflict for the Soviet Union's benefit, it lays out a model for international relations that explains the role of Communism in the 20th century as much more realistically antagonistic. Lastly, on this edition of The Copepranos Society, Dimes welcomes back Clossington to discuss Alexander Hamilton, the Mingo Creek Association, and the violent history of taxes in America.

La politesse envers l'IA est une aberration écologique ?

Dire « bonjour » à ChatGPT, ce n'est pas anodin. Selon une étude relayée par TechRadar, 70 % des utilisateurs saluent ou remercient leur IA. Et 12 % le font… par peur d'un soulèvement des machines. Une statistique qui fait sourire, mais qui en dit long sur notre rapport aux intelligences artificielles.Car si l'on sait pertinemment qu'il ne s'agit que de lignes de code, notre cerveau, lui, perçoit autre chose. Le langage fluide, les tournures familières, la réactivité : tout donne l'illusion d'un interlocuteur réel. C'est ce qu'on appelle l'anthropomorphisme – cette tendance naturelle à attribuer des caractéristiques humaines à des objets ou à des machines. Résultat : même en sachant que ChatGPT ne “ressent” rien, on dit « merci », un peu comme on tiendrait la porte à un ascenseur vide. Mais cette politesse, aussi automatique soit-elle, coûte cher. Sam Altman, le patron d'OpenAI, l'a reconnu : cette courtoisie numérique a un coût énergétique non négligeable. Plus l'interaction est longue et élaborée, plus les serveurs chauffent… et la facture grimpe...Pourtant, au-delà des bonnes manières, il y a une vraie logique d'optimisation. Plusieurs journalistes et chercheurs, dont Becca Caddy chez TechRadar, l'ont constaté : plus une requête est claire, structurée et polie, meilleure est la réponse. Moins biaisée aussi, parfois. C'est que les IA ont été entraînées sur des milliards de dialogues humains, souvent empreints de nuances, de formules de politesse et d'ambiguïtés maîtrisées. Résultat : la politesse devient un outil. Une sorte d'ingénierie sociale, presque une stratégie de prompt. Et OpenAI le sait : inciter à des formulations précises et courtoises permettrait d'obtenir des IA plus stables et plus performantes. Alors, faut-il dire merci à son assistant virtuel ? Pas par obligation, non. Mais par habitude, par confort… ou simplement par efficacité. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

L'humain a utilisé le cheval d'abord comme proie puis comme outil. La "plus noble conquête" de l'humain est ainsi devenu cheval de labour, de transport, de guerre et de boucherie... Un bon ouvrier, un esclave puissant, docile, convertible en steaks easy peasy.Il a aussi été transformé en véhicule de sport : courir plus vite, sauter plus haut… et rapporter de l'argent.En France, l'équitation est le premier sport féminin (85% des 670 000 licenciés). 56% des cavalières ont moins de 16 ans. Dès qu'il s'agit de briller et de gagner, les messieurs reviennent. Plus de 60% des cavaliers des JO de Paris 2024 étaient des hommes. Sur les 12 cavaliers de l'équipe de France, on ne comptait que deux femmes, dont une remplaçante.Quoiqu'il en soit, les professionnels et les amoureux des chevaux ont des certitudes bien ancrées. Un cheval doit :"être ferré""vivre dans un box""manger de l'avoine""être dirigé avec un mors en acier dans la bouche"Dans son livre Le silence des chevaux (Amphora 2025), Pierre Enoff démonte ces pratiques, héritées des militaires. Elles sont autant de handicaps cruels et contre-productifs pour l'autre "meilleur ami de l'humain".Le cheval fait de fait partie des animaux "de rente" (bankable) les plus maltraités du monde :Il est parqué seul dans un box, alors que cet animal social devrait vadrouiller 25 km par jour.Il est ferré alors ses sabots sont faits pour s'user et s'ajuster au millimètre à sa morphologie.Il est nourri avec des pellets alors qu'il a besoin d'herbe fraîche et de plantes finement choisies.Il est sevré à 6 mois alors qu'il n'est encore qu'un bébé, pour faire des courses, amuser la galerie et enrichir toutes sortes de "spécialistes".Grâce à des précurseurs comme Pierre, une révolution est en cours. Cette série la raconte._______

Spherical aberration is a term often used in ophthalmology and optometry, especially in relation to lens surgeries and intraocular lens design. Recently, IOL manufacturers have been manipulating spherical aberration as a tool to provide a greater range of vision, but rarely explaining the mechanism. Your OATR hosts, Dr Nick Andrew and Dr Ben LaHood, as always, discuss the simple things often overlooked and the complex things often ignored in the eye world. They take a deep dive into spherical aberration of the eye to provide you with a better understanding of an increasingly important topic for ophthalmologists and optometrists.

In the U.S., so-called "per se" antitrust crimes require nothing more than proof that the conduct occurred, relieving prosecutors of the difficult job of proving harm to competition. Is the Fourth Circuit's 2023 opinion in U.S. v. Brewbaker part of a growing judicial trend toward limiting the prosecution of per se cases? Ann O'Brien, the co-leader of Sheppard Mullin's Antitrust and Competition Practice Group, joins Alicia Downey and Brendan Coffman to talk about Brewbaker and its implications for applying the per se standard in criminal antitrust actions.

[originally published on Patreon Sep 22, 2023] cw: rape, assault, etc. This is the first episode about the serial killer Israel Keyes. I begin with the logical starting place: the Keyes family, and get into a brief history of Christian Identity in the UK and US. From there, we discuss the Kehoe family including some interesting details which are often left out of the conversation. Then I go over Israel's early life and upbringing, his early military service, his first major relationship, and end discussing Israel's Grand Plan. (note 1: I wrote and recorded this before I had Wendy Painting on the show and consequently realized I kept saying 'Aberrations' instead of Aberration in the Heartland of the Real, the correct title note 2: I have learned much more about Fort Gulick since writing these episodes and I think Keyes was trained there) Songs: I Saw the Sign by Ace of Base Loco by Coal Chamber (when talking about psychiatric evaluation?)

With Whooshkaa's acquisition by Spotify, Anchor emerged as the recommended alternative, albeit with frustratingly limited music-sharing capabilities. Most of the music featured on the show was sourced directly from agents, musicians, and distributors, much of which wasn't even available on Spotify. By November, it became evident that the show couldn't continue under these constraints.

On April 19th 1995, the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK became the site of the worst domestic terror attack in the history of the United States. Few researchers have gone as deep into this convoluted nightmare as native Oklahoman Richard Booth. Richard was in his late teens in 1995 and has the unique perspective of someone who was able to watch the story unfold on a local level.

Unipolar Hegemony Is A Freakish Historical Aberration

Going Rogue With Caitlin Johnstone

The US is indisputably the most tyrannical regime on earth. Only the US is instigating wars around the world, circling the planet with hundreds of foreign military bases, starving populations with massive unilateral sanctions and blockades, and working to destroy any nation which disobeys it. No other government has spent the 21st century killing people by the millions in wars of aggression; only the US has. Continually trying to destroy anyone in the world who doesn't obey your dictates is as tyrannical as it gets. If you point this out you'll get people telling you that if it wasn't the US doing those things it would be someone else, but that's ridiculous. There has never once been a unipolar planetary hegemon at any time in human history until three decades ago. People look at this freakish historical aberration and talk about it as though it's some immutable quality inscribed in adamantine upon human DNA strands.  A single power structure dominating the planet is very much the exception, not the rule. A multipolar world is the norm in the same way a cancer-free body is the norm; you'd only assume cancer is the norm if you'd only ever seen one human body and it was a cancer patient. That doesn't mean a future multipolar world order would be perfect or free from problems, it just means the expectation that the US unipolar hegemon would be replaced by another one is based on absolutely nothing and is refuted by all historical precedent. And as an added bonus we'd no longer be trapped in this horrifying situation where a planetary empire is continually trying to shore up disobedient nations like Russia and China while brandishing armageddon weapons with increasing aggression.

i’m johnny and uh we’re here to talk about fishing games [00:43.960 –> 00:49.720] i don’t know who changed that made that official whatever it’s still fishing month um i think this [00:49.720 –> 00:56.360] episode it might be the tail end of fishing month i don’t 100 remember the order um no no this is [00:56.720 –> 01:04.240] this is week two of fishing month is it is it oh i am i am 80% sure that this is week two of [01:04.240 –> 01:13.680] fishing okay never mind never mind then um okay i just i had that all wrong okay um anyways uh [01:13.680 –> 01:17.680] so yeah we’re actually going to talk about a specific game this time unlike last time where [01:17.680 –> 01:22.640] we talked about a whole bunch of different mini games we talk about a full fishing game uh one [01:22.680 –> 01:28.480] called dredge um that just yeah and we’re going we’re continuing our world tour kids this month [01:28.480 –> 01:32.000] you know when we were first on an episode together we talked about lonesome village which [01:32.960 –> 01:36.960] was developed in mexico and then we we got together and talked about tyrannil which was [01:36.960 –> 01:40.880] produced in south africa and now we’re talking about dredge which was developed right here in [01:40.880 –> 01:48.000] new zealand so our world tour continues oh man put that on your list of exports um that’s a [01:48.880 –> 01:56.080] banger job new zealand the dev team um but yeah um before we dive into that [01:58.080 –> 02:03.520] we will uh we actually do have a few pieces as we brought to our attention so we can go over [02:04.160 –> 02:10.960] um but before that well actually first i want to mention as always we have transcripts [02:11.760 –> 02:19.920] show notes links yada yada on the uh website uh harvest season dot club um but uh anyways uh [02:19.920 –> 02:25.760] before we get into the news i’m not not johnny what have you been up to why have i been up to um [02:26.480 –> 02:31.040] kevin you and i became friends through a game that some people might have heard of called pokemon [02:31.040 –> 02:37.360] right um the one that’s dead and and we’ve sort of developed a shared hatred of the you know [02:37.360 –> 02:42.000] more recent pokemon games but um i’m guessing you still own you know some pokemon games and [02:42.000 –> 02:48.080] maybe some pokemon merch i do well i want you to take all of that pokemon stuff and just set it on [02:48.080 –> 02:56.240] fire because pokemon is dead uh it is now all about cassette beasts cassette beasts is so good [02:56.240 –> 03:02.080] you turned me on to this game this week from a side um into basically promise yep [03:03.040 –> 03:12.320] this game is incredible it is so so good um it kind of just does everything that i want a modern [03:12.320 –> 03:17.760] pokemon game to do it’s a fun take on the battle system like it’s not it’s it’s inspired by pokemon [03:17.760 –> 03:22.080] but i don’t think it’s fair to call it even a pokemon clone yeah i would agree with that it’s [03:22.080 –> 03:28.480] doing so many unique things on top of uh the creature catching thing the vibe of the game [03:28.480 –> 03:33.200] the vibe of the game is incredible the music is incredible i love cassette beasts kevin [03:33.200 –> 03:40.000] i love love love cassette beasts i mean okay so i have not played cassette beasts unfortunately [03:40.000 –> 03:44.480] but um i have heard enough discussion and most probably most importantly i have listened to the [03:44.480 –> 03:50.640] soundtrack which everyone should listen to regardless of surprise surprise a game called [03:50.640 –> 03:58.080] cassette beast has a banger soundtrack um uh but no i agree with pretty much everything you’ve said [03:58.400 –> 04:05.360] the art style direction the vibe however you want to call it is is very strong um in line with the [04:05.360 –> 04:12.880] music uh something that pokemon suffers from more and more as time goes on but um anyways uh [04:13.920 –> 04:20.080] the battle system is interesting because uh for people who aren’t familiar there’s whatever number [04:20.080 –> 04:26.320] of types these types of games but each one has unique interactions which is pretty crazy and a [04:26.320 –> 04:34.640] fun gift it’s it’s a really well implemented um system uh and a sort of few few examples of how [04:34.640 –> 04:39.920] it works it’s it sort of replaces the super effective you know not very effective from from [04:39.920 –> 04:46.240] pokemon um with interactions that make a lot of sense so and they stick right like so so they [04:46.240 –> 04:50.000] i find that they really stick in my brain when they happen once you’re like oh i totally [04:50.000 –> 04:58.640] understand how these two things will interact so for example if a um fire type uh attack hits a [04:58.640 –> 05:05.200] metal type pokemon it gets like a melted condition and so its defense and attack get reduced um [05:06.000 –> 05:11.520] whereas if a poison type attacks a metal type some of the poison is left on the metal and it gets [05:11.520 –> 05:15.600] additional contact damage when it uses melee attacks going forward and so it’s just like [05:15.600 –> 05:20.640] everything is super intuitive it makes sense uh actually you know some of them like even change [05:20.640 –> 05:26.240] the type of monsters for a few turns like if a fire type uh attacks uh ice type it becomes water [05:26.240 –> 05:32.800] type for a few turns right makes total sense and it’s just such a awesome and cool implementation [05:32.800 –> 05:37.760] and typing matters a lot more because a lot of the sort of normal type attacks from a pokemon [05:38.320 –> 05:45.120] style game they take on the type of um of the monster so it’s really clever it can [05:45.120 –> 05:50.080] yeah it’s really really clever like the battle system is super clever and super interesting [05:50.080 –> 05:56.160] um and it’s a really cool evolution of you know traditional pokemon style battling and you know [05:56.160 –> 06:00.800] like in a pokemon game i never lose battles i have lost a decent number of battles and cassette [06:00.800 –> 06:05.200] beasts so far and it’s not that the game is hard like it’s an easy game but you can get into areas [06:05.200 –> 06:08.880] that are over leveled for you or you can make a few mistakes and then like you know you’re [06:08.880 –> 06:12.240] leveling up some different beasts and it’s just like oh this is not going well [06:14.400 –> 06:21.840] um yeah no that’s uh i i like i said from what i’ve heard i can’t disagree with any of that [06:22.640 –> 06:29.440] um the designs are well you know that’s subjective but they’re pretty strong [06:29.440 –> 06:37.680] it’s a nice pixel style i’d say maybe diamond pearl black white era pokemon um yeah the designs [06:37.680 –> 06:41.600] are good they’re not the strongest element of the game but they are right but they’re good [06:41.600 –> 06:46.960] they’re not bad absolutely they’re good yeah yep yep um and it i mean that’s always a really [06:46.960 –> 06:52.320] tough space because you know pokemon yeah fine the other thing that’s really cool is the the [06:52.320 –> 06:56.800] world building that’s gone into cassette beasts and explaining like why you’re in the world and [06:56.800 –> 07:01.680] how that all sort of ties together and like there’s this this one song that plays when [07:01.680 –> 07:08.000] you’re in harbor town which is the the hub town for um the world and it is just like [07:08.000 –> 07:18.240] the most beautiful song it’s like very melancholy very like sad but also relaxing in a way and um i [07:18.800 –> 07:24.320] i love just hanging out in the main town and listening to the song uh yeah no i mean i don’t [07:24.320 –> 07:32.240] know what song it is but there are some really good songs throughout um i’m um yeah like i need [07:32.240 –> 07:38.160] to get this game it’s what it’s i know it’s on steam i think it’s on switch i do not it is on [07:38.160 –> 07:45.200] steam switch xbox game pass uh i actually it’s on playstation but i actually don’t know if it’s on [07:45.200 –> 07:54.800] playstation um well so either way check out cassette beasts um it uh fantastic entry into the [07:56.240 –> 08:03.680] monster collection genre um i do hope it continues one thing i think that we desperately need is a [08:03.680 –> 08:08.560] number two to pokemon you know like uh something to actually shake it up yokai watch kind of had [08:08.560 –> 08:13.600] that for a bit but uh uh other than that a lot of these don’t have a lot of staying power you know [08:13.600 –> 08:19.920] like they have one great game but or one maybe two but then but anyways sorry i don’t want to [08:19.920 –> 08:23.040] talk like endlessly about cassette beats but i actually do want to talk endlessly about cassette [08:23.040 –> 08:28.400] beasts the other cool things that they do is uh their version of shinies which they call bootlegs [08:28.400 –> 08:34.480] um yeah which is a great name um but they are different types right so they have a different [08:34.480 –> 08:40.480] color based on the type but any um uh so there’s like 14 i think there’s 14 different types there’s [08:40.480 –> 08:46.560] effectively 14 shinies or 13 shinies for each one and you can go and hunt specific types so [08:46.560 –> 08:54.080] it’s kind of like the you know um uh the terror thing terrastilizing thing from the most recent [08:54.080 –> 08:58.400] pokemon game but you know like good and fun and interesting and everything that is not [08:59.760 –> 09:06.400] oh ain’t that the truth um yeah no that’s good that’s anyway that’s that’s my that’s my mini [09:06.400 –> 09:14.000] love affair with cassette beasts um okay is is there moves can you trade or battle with other [09:14.000 –> 09:18.240] players do you know so this is the sad thing i don’t know anyone else that’s playing cassette [09:18.240 –> 09:24.400] beast so i haven’t looked into any multiplayer features other than um there is uh a form of [09:24.400 –> 09:28.800] co-op that you can do i’m not sure if it’s local or like you can also do it online because there’s [09:28.800 –> 09:35.760] two um like it’s all double battles um so there is at least that form of co-op but i actually don’t [09:35.760 –> 09:40.080] know if there’s trading or anything like that mostly because i haven’t had any reason oh wait [09:40.080 –> 09:46.160] actually no i’m just remembering i saw a tweet a while back they are planning a huge update um that [09:46.160 –> 09:53.280] will um which is a good sign that it will continue getting support um but uh or is it out now oh [09:53.280 –> 09:57.280] might already be out now i don’t know anyways they’re doing updates um which you know pokemon [09:57.280 –> 10:01.840] doesn’t really do either so uh go check it out because at least uh thank you for listening to [10:01.840 –> 10:10.640] the cassette beasts uh love podcast uh uh have you squeezed in anything other than cassette beast [10:10.640 –> 10:14.960] johnny uh have i squeezed in anything else other than cassette so i mean i’ve been playing a little [10:14.960 –> 10:20.080] bit of pokemon sleep that came out this week um and one of the advantages of being in new zealand [10:20.080 –> 10:24.960] is we get these things released before the rest of the world because we’re the testing ground for [10:24.960 –> 10:31.200] pokemon mobile games um so i have almost completed a week’s worth of pokemon sleep and [10:31.840 –> 10:37.200] it’s kind of exactly what i want it to be it’s a totally fine sleep tracker with pokemon in it [10:37.200 –> 10:43.680] like i don’t know it’s it’s not amazing but it is exactly what it is i loved uh magic carp jump and [10:43.680 –> 10:50.960] this is from the same developers and they just get the they get the vibe of pokemon right i feel so [10:51.040 –> 10:54.240] all right it’s been a it’s been a creature collecting week for me [10:54.240 –> 10:59.680] hey very nice very nice um yeah i’ll need to i don’t know if i’ll try sleep to be honest [10:59.680 –> 11:06.640] it’s just one ice the battle with sleep i don’t know if i need further agitation on that and um [11:07.520 –> 11:12.720] but uh i don’t know i was weirded out by the fact that you this game has a battle pass [11:14.560 –> 11:20.800] oh look the the micro transaction side of this game is pretty ridiculous but it’s kind of just [11:21.360 –> 11:29.680] a mobile game right and this is what mobile games do now and it’s stupid but okay but uh but i i’m [11:29.680 –> 11:34.240] glad it’s it’s i don’t see people necessarily disappointed but just seems really weird things [11:34.240 –> 11:38.320] that came out but anyways um the weirdest commentary that i’ve seen for people who are [11:38.320 –> 11:43.440] disappointed is like they’re like i’m disappointed there’s not more to do like during the day and [11:43.440 –> 11:49.760] i’m kind of like it’s a sleeping app game i’m not sure what you were expecting to do during the day [11:49.760 –> 11:53.280] but if you want to play pokemon during the day there are thousands of other pokemon games that [11:53.280 –> 11:59.520] you could go and play and do stuff during the day so like it’s just weird weird criticism yeah [11:59.520 –> 12:09.040] oh god nothing like uh pokemon fans um good stuff good stuff um anything else you want to bring up [12:09.040 –> 12:13.920] no no i think i think that’s um uh an awful lot for for creature collection games today what [12:13.920 –> 12:18.160] have you been up to no it’s not because i have been playing creature collection games [12:18.720 –> 12:27.600] um i uh well let’s see okay i’ve been unite is hitting the second anniversary and introducing [12:27.600 –> 12:33.600] you two and to be um unite i guess pokemon you know actually one thing i want to comment on [12:33.600 –> 12:44.480] you as well gmutu came out july 20th and it’s getting nerfed on july 21st i love when things [12:44.480 –> 12:51.360] come out so broken they have to get emergency nerve um but uh but anyways but that’s uh [12:52.000 –> 12:56.240] yeah that’s great night players i just love when they completely wreck the balance and have to fix [12:56.240 –> 13:04.800] it um aside from that i’ve been playing tears of the kingdom uh slowly and steadily i’ve married [13:04.800 –> 13:10.320] behind from everyone so i don’t think i have anything new to say that nobody else has said um [13:10.320 –> 13:14.560] i will say i have not yet encountered a horse i’m looking for the horse stables i don’t know [13:14.560 –> 13:22.880] where they are um but i found master koga before that you found master koga before you found a [13:22.880 –> 13:30.880] horse before i saw a single horse even out in the wild wow yeah so my uh journey has been something [13:30.880 –> 13:36.080] else to say the least um it sounds like you just went underground and you have not come back up [13:36.080 –> 13:41.840] i mean the first thing i went was the great plateau i wanted to see my old stomping grounds [13:41.840 –> 13:46.480] and there were some filthy guy cleaned them out and there was a big hole and yeah i jumped in [13:47.040 –> 13:56.560] um but uh but yeah no it’s great um i will say as an engineer uh it it scratches a special itch [13:56.560 –> 14:03.520] to build things um like the sign little the sign dude i like building very efficient [14:04.240 –> 14:10.400] hosts or whatever um but anyways um yeah surprise surprise tears of the kingdom is good um aside [14:10.400 –> 14:16.000] from that i have actually continued to play story of seasons um that i have actually finally [14:16.000 –> 14:22.880] surpassed uh where i played stopped originally or as far as i can recall um and that game just [14:22.880 –> 14:32.000] continues to be a joy in my life um i have also unfortunately gone down the deep dark regrettable [14:32.080 –> 14:37.440] hole of trading card games again i’ve gotten the itch uh this time the pokemon trading card game [14:37.440 –> 14:43.760] my brother picked up the the new app the live app or whatever that they use uh and so he got [14:43.760 –> 14:50.560] me into it and actually the app is pretty good um it’s well it works well which the old one didn’t [14:50.560 –> 14:56.240] do um but in general i’ve been getting a little in the pokemon cards not so much i haven’t really [14:56.240 –> 15:01.360] been buying any just dusting off what i do have i bought like a new deck just having fun with that [15:01.360 –> 15:09.920] um but yeah play like it is the app more like um like magic the gathering arena or hearthstone [15:09.920 –> 15:14.720] where it’s kind of like very just like focused on random battles or is it not too bad if you [15:14.720 –> 15:20.240] want to like battle you know your friends and kind of just puffs about uh no it’s uh it’s [15:21.200 –> 15:26.880] to be quite honest i have not done it myself but from what i understand it’s just it’s easy to play [15:26.880 –> 15:32.240] with your friends if you just want um obviously like they have battle passes and whatever of [15:32.240 –> 15:41.200] course um but uh so they focus a lot on like the random battles and stuff but it it’s no problem [15:41.200 –> 15:47.440] at all to play with your friends um to be fair the the old app was decent at that um just very [15:47.440 –> 15:55.440] clunky in the games itself um oh i will give them props for one well a few things that they’ve done [15:55.440 –> 16:05.520] but um one of the biggest things is uh so in the old online app you couldn’t really buy products [16:05.520 –> 16:13.120] almost um you’re almost it’s not exclusively but the best the easiest way to get cards was to buy [16:13.120 –> 16:16.880] actual products like physical products and put the little code card in right [16:17.440 –> 16:23.120] um they finally changed that in this new version of the uh in this new live app um where you can [16:23.120 –> 16:29.520] grind out coins and actually buy things um and all the stuff you can buy digitally is just the [16:29.520 –> 16:36.240] same stuff you can buy physically so that’s really nice they finally um but yeah so that’s uh that’s [16:36.240 –> 16:46.240] what’s going on with my life so now that we’re uh done collecting monsters for at least right now [16:46.880 –> 16:52.400] what is going on in the world of cottage core games let me actually look at well maybe um to [16:52.400 –> 16:57.200] start with uh um and i should have actually looked up the dates of of when this ends but there’s a [16:57.200 –> 17:01.840] a cool little humble bundle um i feel like humble bundle is one of those things i’m constantly [17:01.840 –> 17:07.280] surprised still exists um because it feels like it was you know really big like 10 years ago and [17:07.280 –> 17:13.280] now it’s just like wait that’s really still going um they have a whimsy and wonder cozy games [17:13.280 –> 17:20.480] collection bundle that has um a few games that um have been talked about uh if not had specific [17:20.480 –> 17:25.280] episodes but talked about pretty heavily on the show like garden story and a short hike plus a few [17:25.280 –> 17:28.560] games that i’d not heard of before there’s something called assemble with care that looks [17:28.560 –> 17:35.920] like a great little mobile game that i kind of want to try um uh and so that’s a current humble [17:35.920 –> 17:41.600] bundle and i can’t actually see an end date for uh it offer ends in 19 days so it will definitely [17:41.600 –> 17:50.640] still be out um by the time uh this uh episode comes out so uh if you uh after picking up some [17:50.640 –> 17:58.320] cool uh cozy games uh this is a good place to start yeah no that’s um yeah that sounds great [17:58.320 –> 18:03.920] um humble bundles like the sheer amount of value you get from them always blows my mind [18:04.000 –> 18:13.840] um but uh that’s good stuff um let’s see what else there is oh disney dreamlight valley [18:13.840 –> 18:20.000] getting an update um is that out already that might be uh i believe this update is out so [18:20.000 –> 18:29.520] yeah this is the dream snaps update um and uh it’s sort of them getting into some of the uh [18:30.320 –> 18:38.160] multiplayer sharing side of things um where uh it’s sort of a weekly photo challenge um [18:38.160 –> 18:44.480] so the snaps being photos um it has prizes for participating including moonstones and moonstones [18:44.480 –> 18:55.760] is sort of the um premium-esque currency um in in um uh in dreamlight valley uh and there’s a bunch [18:55.760 –> 19:00.480] of other stuff that goes along with that but that’s really i guess the key focus of this [19:00.480 –> 19:05.600] update now i’ll tell you what the key focus is the key focus is vanellope von schweetz is now in [19:05.600 –> 19:10.000] the game um i don’t know if you’re a fan of wreck-it-ralph but i’m a very very big fan of [19:10.000 –> 19:15.440] that movie i was like looking at that name and i could not place it and uh i think because [19:15.440 –> 19:20.240] wreck-it-ralph is not like immediately where you go like it’s not one of the instant disney [19:20.240 –> 19:23.600] associations but that yeah that makes total sense that’s exciting that she’s in the game [19:23.600 –> 19:28.720] yeah yeah that’s uh that’s fun she’s a great character love that movie great to see my sister [19:28.720 –> 19:32.320] has actually been big big big into disney dreamlight valley um so that’s why i knew [19:32.320 –> 19:37.120] it was out because i think i saw her mentioning vanellope out um but yeah i didn’t mention it [19:37.120 –> 19:43.040] i didn’t mention it in the um uh the main update because it’s been a few weeks but um i have [19:43.040 –> 19:47.040] actually hit credits on disney dreamlight valley which a i didn’t realize that you could hit [19:47.840 –> 19:54.640] was my mind uh i have hit credits of that game so um there’s a lot a lot more content than when [19:54.640 –> 20:03.040] al and i um first covered it um and it’s uh just still a really good game so um yeah yeah no that’s [20:03.040 –> 20:10.960] um yeah i i want to get into it but the list of other games i’m digging into first just is it’s [20:10.960 –> 20:16.800] really big um well i feel most people should still wait for 1.0 because it’s still not in 1.0 yet [20:17.280 –> 20:26.000] yeah um one thing that i do heckle my sister about like i i seeing all these disney characters [20:26.000 –> 20:30.000] next to each other like makes you realize just just how messed up that can be like [20:30.000 –> 20:37.440] why is scar not eating remy from ratatouille like why doesn’t that happen well if you play the game [20:37.440 –> 20:43.760] and you do some quests you will find out why scar is not eating remy because they definitely [20:43.760 –> 20:53.280] interact as part of scar’s quest line wait they do that’s awesome um good stuff uh but anyways um [20:54.640 –> 21:01.040] okay so that’s disney dreamlight valley speaking of updates to good games um [21:02.240 –> 21:11.920] uh we’re reporting that uh water is wet uh sky is blue and stardew continues to have updates [21:11.920 –> 21:16.800] um uh kev i think you know that that might actually be used to some of our listeners [21:16.800 –> 21:21.200] given uh last episode we spent you know half of it trashing fishing and starting out [21:22.480 –> 21:29.280] we do actually like the game no well yes yes yeah if we didn’t yeah we should be clear um [21:29.280 –> 21:38.080] yeah is a good game yes um not the fishing i’m just i’m looking through the concerned [21:38.320 –> 21:43.200] twitter is pretty good oh oh so that’s why he put a picture of there’s a steam sale is that [21:43.200 –> 21:50.160] for oh yeah no that’s over never mind sorry anyways yes stardew has a big update uh 1.6 [21:50.160 –> 21:57.520] update oh he’s going there is going to be one excuse me um to quote his tweet or to pull from [21:57.520 –> 22:02.240] his tweet here uh there’s changes for modders which will make it easier and more powerful to [22:02.240 –> 22:10.240] mod which frightens me um but there will be new game content much less than 1.5 um he’s [22:10.240 –> 22:16.640] taking a break from haunted chocolatier to work on this um that’s all i think oh here we go yeah [22:16.640 –> 22:24.560] look it’s basically hints that uh you know 1.6 is coming at some point soon there’s no date uh [22:24.560 –> 22:31.200] you know at new festivals you know a few new events um but it doesn’t sound like it’s gonna be [22:31.200 –> 22:38.880] some um uh huge update so if you like stardew valley and you want more stardew valley content [22:38.880 –> 22:44.960] it’s coming at some point you know in in the near future um if you take the near future to mean you [22:44.960 –> 22:49.920] know sometime within the next two years that’s about as confident as i’d be on when this is [22:49.920 –> 22:57.920] going to come out um but ultimately i think um the the the new story here is uh more stardew valley [22:57.920 –> 23:03.520] content it just uh uh is gonna be you know more of what’s already in there it doesn’t sound like [23:03.520 –> 23:13.520] it’s gonna be some massive shift um to what’s uh to what the game already does yeah um i mean [23:13.520 –> 23:20.240] stardew right like fans if you’re a fan you know what to expect um but uh but yeah i mean it just [23:20.240 –> 23:24.560] continues probably will never ever stop i mean i wouldn’t stop either with all the money he’s [23:24.560 –> 23:33.840] probably making off that um but yeah there you go uh let’s see i think that’s roughly what we [23:33.840 –> 23:39.440] have for news anything else that you saw uh no nothing else really i think that that um about [23:39.440 –> 23:44.160] covers i’m sure there’ll be some small stuff that we missed and uh we’ll catch up on that at some [23:44.160 –> 23:53.040] point in the future there you go so now that we are through the news let’s uh let’s talk about uh [23:54.640 –> 24:00.880] a cozy little game called dredge as we’re so prone to talk about on this game on this show [24:03.120 –> 24:07.920] all right yeah maybe not maybe not the coziest of games but um it’s definitely a fishing game [24:07.920 –> 24:15.120] it is a fishing game um all right johnny take since you uh for clarity uh johnny has played [24:15.120 –> 24:20.240] and i believe completed it i have not played but i am fairly familiar with the game i’ve [24:20.240 –> 24:27.120] talked about several people who have nothing but praise for it um uh it is on my list again so [24:27.120 –> 24:32.800] go ahead johnny give us give us the elevator pitch what’s going on with dread uh so as i said [24:32.800 –> 24:38.400] you’re a fisherman and uh you know the the base premises you’ve taken a job as a fisherman on the [24:38.400 –> 24:47.280] way to the town where you’ve taken the job your boat gets um uh damaged and uh you so you have to [24:47.280 –> 24:53.920] you know rent uh a new boat from the town where they’ve hired you to work as a fisherman um and [24:53.920 –> 24:58.560] so you go off and you start fishing up fish and paying off your debt and doing all of those sorts [24:58.560 –> 25:04.320] of fun things and there’s you know some some spooky overtones and then a little bit into the [25:04.320 –> 25:11.760] game you fish up an aberration um which is kind of like a regular fish um but kuthulu or you know [25:12.240 –> 25:20.240] um some lovecraftian horror got involved with the fish and turned it into a uh a weird aberration [25:20.240 –> 25:27.360] of the fish um and so really a little extra ooze just a little few extra eyes no biggie [25:28.320 –> 25:34.720] yeah and so um and from there the sort of core gameplay loop that takes off as you’re going [25:34.800 –> 25:42.240] around um uh various regions um fishing up different fish but ostensibly looking for [25:42.240 –> 25:47.440] some items for a character uh known as the collector who’s looking for some [25:48.240 –> 25:52.800] artifacts that were lost in a shipwreck and so you’re going around trying to [25:53.360 –> 25:59.360] find those um and you primarily do that with fishing um and fun little side note that i [25:59.360 –> 26:03.200] actually don’t think i told you about yet but i i am good friends with the person that did the [26:03.200 –> 26:09.360] voice acting for the collector oh really so yeah that’s really cool um you know because [26:09.360 –> 26:12.320] there’s only like six people in new zealand so it was highly likely that i was going to know [26:12.320 –> 26:17.680] one of the people that worked on this game johnny’s in the credits he didn’t even do [26:17.680 –> 26:26.960] anything but he’s just there as special thanks um um yeah so that’s kind of the core gameplay look [26:26.960 –> 26:32.320] but um to talk a little bit more about the the fishing specifically um so there’s a bunch of [26:32.320 –> 26:36.640] sort of different fishing mini games um but there’s sort of different fishing types which [26:36.640 –> 26:40.880] i really like so i think there’s sort of seven or eight fishing types you know there’s uh shallow [26:40.880 –> 26:48.480] water fishing coastal fishing deep water fishing uh abyssal fishing volcanic fishing um and they [26:48.480 –> 26:52.800] all have different rods and you catch different fish in the different uh different spots and some [26:52.800 –> 26:57.680] of them have different uh mini games and then when you catch the fish they’re sort of like an [26:57.680 –> 27:04.400] inventory um you know fit the fish in the space sort of thing that you have to do so your boat [27:04.400 –> 27:10.400] has a certain amount of space um and you can put the fish river it’s got space and bigger fish have [27:10.400 –> 27:14.240] you know weird shapes and all sorts of things so there is a little bit of a puzzle element to [27:14.240 –> 27:19.200] putting the fish together which is pretty cool yeah for to use a popular game reference it’s [27:19.760 –> 27:25.120] the resident evil 4 the attache case or whatever your little tetris thing to fit everything in the [27:25.120 –> 27:33.840] box um which i i do like my i like that i think that’s clever um but huh i didn’t know they were [27:33.840 –> 27:40.560] different i you know different it makes sense but i do like that that it’s not there’s different [27:40.560 –> 27:46.160] rods for different environments and things that is that’s nice to see uh you know a little death [27:46.720 –> 27:53.200] to the game um yeah and it’s cool right so so one of the limiting factors in the early game is the [27:53.760 –> 27:58.960] um rods that you have will maybe fish up can only fish up one or two different types [27:58.960 –> 28:02.800] um so you have to pick which rod you’re going to take on your boat because the rod takes up [28:02.800 –> 28:07.280] space on your boat so you leave some of them back in storage as you get more towards the end game [28:07.280 –> 28:11.520] you start unlocking rods that can fish up more types and it’s possible to sort of you know go [28:11.520 –> 28:17.760] around and fish up any type um you know pretty easily by the time you get to the end of the game [28:17.760 –> 28:21.440] but it’s a it’s a nice little limiting factor at the start of the game where you’re having [28:21.440 –> 28:25.600] to actively make the decision of like oh so what fish am i going at to get what what does [28:25.600 –> 28:31.920] that mean in terms of the sorts of uh rods that i would want to take right okay that is huh yeah [28:31.920 –> 28:39.760] that is a good natural way of unlocking progression or however you want to put it um huh that is [28:40.880 –> 28:46.480] interesting um oh you know here’s a question how is the sailing because all the game plays [28:46.480 –> 28:51.120] on the boat right like you’re moving around how does the boat control how’s it feel uh the boat [28:51.360 –> 28:59.440] controls okay um and it’s it’s weird right because are these the best boat controls ever [28:59.440 –> 29:05.840] absolutely not right but it almost feels intentional so um part of the game is that it [29:05.840 –> 29:12.720] runs on a you know 24 hour clock cycle so it’s kind of just going through um day and night and [29:12.720 –> 29:17.840] day is relatively safe so um i mentioned the aberration fish that you’re catching before [29:17.920 –> 29:24.640] if you’re out at night when the fog rolls in um your panic level starts to rise so there’s sort [29:24.640 –> 29:32.000] of this um big you know lovecraftian horror sort of theme going to the game and at night your panic [29:32.000 –> 29:39.360] rises and as your panic rises there’s certain um uh negative things that can happen and it could be [29:39.360 –> 29:44.640] you know uh sea monsters are kind of called to attack your boat um and you can’t you know fight [29:44.720 –> 29:50.960] back against them they just damage your boat or things like um uh rocks might appear out of the [29:50.960 –> 29:57.360] fog all of a sudden um that weren’t there before that you crash into and when you crash um or [29:57.360 –> 30:03.040] damage is done to your boat it impacts the um so it damages one of those inventory slots that [30:03.040 –> 30:07.760] i talked about before and anything that was in that slot is either like if a fish was in that [30:07.760 –> 30:12.960] slot that fish was lost overboard or if it was a rod or an engine or something then then that part [30:12.960 –> 30:20.080] of your boat becomes um disabled so it’s a really like fun sort of push your luck mechanic um [30:20.080 –> 30:25.360] different fish come out at night so so you do have to go out at night because it’s not just like try [30:25.360 –> 30:30.560] and get home during the day as quickly as possible and then you know uh rest until the next morning [30:30.560 –> 30:37.760] it’s um something that you kind of actively want to do but um uh sort of the panic level rising [30:37.760 –> 30:42.160] they do a really nice job of kind of actually you know making you feel slightly more panicked when [30:42.160 –> 30:48.880] you are out in the fog yeah yeah that panic level can refer to either the in-game mechanic or your [30:48.880 –> 30:58.080] own feeling of panic because uh boy is there uneasiness in this game um yeah because man like [30:58.720 –> 31:04.160] i guess we might as well start talking about the fish right because i’m sure you start off with [31:04.160 –> 31:13.040] just basic everyday fish um but then as you said there’s some really scary stuff in those waters [31:13.040 –> 31:19.760] just like the real world of ocean um yeah so when you start fishing you know it’s a lot of your [31:19.760 –> 31:27.200] um coastal and and sort of shallow water fish that you’re um uh fishing up um that kind of [31:27.200 –> 31:34.080] follows through into the the first area or the first sort of area outside of the main hub area [31:34.080 –> 31:37.840] that you go so it’s a lot of those sort of fish and you start fishing up some aberrations [31:38.480 –> 31:44.000] um and some of those sorts of things and then it kind of really opens i think when you get to the [31:44.000 –> 31:48.320] second area and i believe you can go to the areas in whichever order you want but there’s a [31:48.320 –> 31:55.520] natural order that they sort of push you towards them and we start getting the the rods to fish up [31:55.520 –> 32:02.080] the abyssal and um hadal style fish and i actually have no idea what the word hadal even means um or [32:02.080 –> 32:05.760] if it’s just something they made up for this game uh but at the start you know you’re fishing up [32:05.760 –> 32:13.040] mackerel and cod and squid and eels and just all of um uh those sorts of things and then as you go [32:13.040 –> 32:19.520] on uh when it’s sort of the abyssal fish it’s a lot of what we might think of as like those um [32:19.520 –> 32:24.880] really deep water fish you know see the um you know the ones with like the lights off their head [32:24.880 –> 32:31.520] and a really big sharp pointed teeth um there’s a lot that are sort of in those sorts of categories [32:31.520 –> 32:37.760] i still believe they’re real fish um like the anglerfish and some of those sorts of things but [32:37.760 –> 32:42.160] they uh it’s sort of like bridging that gap between it’s almost like asking the question of [32:42.160 –> 32:47.200] what’s even below those fish right the anglerfish and some of those sorts of things what’s below [32:47.200 –> 32:53.520] those well actually so i looked this up because i was curious hadal is a real word and refers to [32:54.320 –> 32:58.320] uh the deepest parts of the ocean so when you think of the deep ocean you know you think of [32:58.320 –> 33:04.400] anglerfish and whatnot the hadal zone is the ocean like in the deep trenches that goes even deeper [33:04.400 –> 33:13.440] than that um so yeah pretty much exactly what you said um that is oh gosh this is all horrifying to [33:13.440 –> 33:21.840] think about um lining up with shark week in here in the states um granted i don’t think i don’t [33:21.920 –> 33:27.280] know if there are any sharks in there are sharks in church oh there are uh but they’re actually [33:27.280 –> 33:32.560] not that uh scary to fish up they’re kind of like your um big open water fish that you go and get so [33:33.600 –> 33:38.560] they take up a lot of space in your boat but they are sort of uh valuable and they’re not [33:38.560 –> 33:42.160] particularly difficult to fish and i guess the fishing in general in this game is not [33:42.160 –> 33:46.720] particularly difficult so it’s um there’s a few different sorts of mini games that you do for [33:46.720 –> 33:52.080] fishing but they’re all just sort of timing based you know press the press the button when [33:52.080 –> 33:59.200] the thing’s in the zone um it’s relatively straightforward as far as fishing um as far as [33:59.200 –> 34:04.640] fishing mechanics go but there are a few sorts which is which is good right so there’s different [34:04.640 –> 34:08.400] types based on the sort of fishing or the sort of rod that you’re doing um and there’s a few [34:08.400 –> 34:13.200] different sorts of fishing as well so there is a little aspect of automation to the game so you’ve [34:13.200 –> 34:17.680] got rods um that’s the main thing there are crab pots so you can go and leave the crab pots out [34:17.680 –> 34:24.880] and they’ll fill up over over time um and you can can get them and you can also do um trawling um [34:24.880 –> 34:30.080] with the net so you can attach a net to the back of your boat and um that will pick up um you know [34:30.080 –> 34:35.760] it doesn’t catch uh big or expensive fish but it is a great way to sort of pick up extra fish [34:35.760 –> 34:41.680] as you’re um as you’re going around so they’ve got a few different sorts of fishing like that [34:41.680 –> 34:48.000] and in addition to they do actually have uh dredging so you can go and find um uh shipwrecks [34:48.000 –> 34:54.240] and um you can uh that’s how you get some of the resources that you need to improve your boat [34:54.240 –> 34:58.880] um or you find some some trinkets and other things so uh they’ve gone pretty broad with [34:58.880 –> 35:03.200] the different sorts of fishing that you can do in the game which works really well that’s nice [35:03.200 –> 35:07.920] i wasn’t aware of that um which i guess makes sense you know since it’s all just fishing to [35:07.920 –> 35:13.760] spice it up a little um but huh that’s yeah that’s really nice to hear that yeah that [35:13.760 –> 35:17.520] sounds like they really put a lot of thought and care into how you’re navigating these all this [35:17.520 –> 35:22.480] stuff um yeah and that’s one of the things that comes through really strongly in the game it’s [35:22.480 –> 35:26.480] like it would have been really easy for them to try and make like fishing a little bit more [35:26.480 –> 35:32.720] difficult than they did um because it’s ultimately a fishing game um but i think they got the balance [35:32.720 –> 35:36.800] really nice that it’s like actually it’s more about getting to the spot to fish it up having [35:36.800 –> 35:42.640] the right equipment not getting damaged on the way back um you know fish uh degrade over time [35:42.640 –> 35:47.440] so if you’re out for ages without going back to sell your fish they’ll become stale and then [35:47.440 –> 35:54.960] eventually um uh rotten and that reduces their value obviously so so they’ve created a really [35:54.960 –> 36:01.600] nice gameplay loop for fishing and by not making the fishing sort of like obscenely difficult [36:01.600 –> 36:05.440] um it’s pretty straightforward and the other cool thing that i’ve done actually while i’m [36:05.680 –> 36:11.760] talking about sort of the gameplay look is there’s uh it’s not a huge component of the game but there [36:11.760 –> 36:16.880] is a nod to sort of like the the notion of depletion of um fish stocks so whenever you [36:16.880 –> 36:24.160] go over to one of the designated fishing spots it’ll tell you um how much is is in there um [36:24.160 –> 36:30.240] and you can totally sort of over fish an area where there’s that now longer uh no longer becomes [36:30.240 –> 36:34.960] uh active fishing spot and i think it takes a long time to regenerate and i don’t know if there’s a [36:35.040 –> 36:39.280] 100 accurate or if this is just how it felt to me but if you sort of take an area that’s got [36:39.280 –> 36:44.480] lots of fish and you fish it down to medium that will regenerate relatively quickly um but where [36:44.480 –> 36:49.040] it’s low fish it seemed to stay low for quite a long time so uh it feels like there’s a little [36:49.040 –> 36:54.960] sort of nod to like trying to get you to not over fish a spot which was nice that is really clever [36:54.960 –> 37:00.800] um that’s something you don’t see or at least i don’t see much in games of over fishing um [37:00.800 –> 37:05.760] because yeah not all i mean that fits in the game and it’s a great way to push to other spots [37:06.560 –> 37:12.880] um get out there and confront those whores um that’s really clever i like that a lot um [37:13.600 –> 37:19.760] let’s see here speaking of whores i guess let’s let’s talk about some of the stuff that’s trying [37:19.760 –> 37:26.640] to fish you um because there’s it’s not just crashing into things there’s there’s actual [37:26.640 –> 37:32.960] monsters out there um and they are pretty horrible what are some of your favorites [37:32.960 –> 37:36.640] johnny since you’ve been through so i think the the first one that stands out and it’s because [37:36.640 –> 37:43.280] it’s one of the first ones that you really um encounter is the serpent um so the serpent’s in [37:43.280 –> 37:51.200] sort of the one of the first areas that you go to um and it’s kind of just swimming around the area [37:51.760 –> 37:57.840] and uh i think at night or if you’re high panic it’s more likely to be attracted to to your boat [37:57.840 –> 38:02.160] but i mean you can definitely encounter it during the day and it kind of just swims past and like [38:02.160 –> 38:08.560] damages you um a little bit and it’s kind of just like terrifying because it often happens when [38:08.560 –> 38:14.160] you’re not expecting it right it’s not like some um some of the other things where you maybe get [38:14.160 –> 38:19.120] an indication or a bit of noise and it kind of just happens right and it’s kind of terrifying [38:19.120 –> 38:22.320] and then it kind of continues on and sort of gives you the message of like you’re not that [38:22.320 –> 38:28.080] significant in the world oh boy you just happen to be on the water where you probably shouldn’t [38:28.080 –> 38:37.040] be in this game um so that’s probably the one that sort of stands out um the most to me um there’s [38:37.040 –> 38:47.040] the the uh phantom shark um which i think you usually encounter that um in the open water um [38:47.040 –> 38:53.600] and that tends to do some decent damage to the boat um those are probably the two that that [38:53.600 –> 38:59.680] really um uh sort of stand out and i think a lot of them you’re you’re more likely to encounter [38:59.680 –> 39:08.800] with um uh high uh high panic um or there are some abilities that you lock uh unlock throughout the [39:08.800 –> 39:14.320] game that can also help you sort of avoid some of the huh that’s that’s nice i believe the [39:14.320 –> 39:21.600] phantom shark will only appear with high panic just uh just salt in the wound um but uh that’s [39:21.600 –> 39:29.840] actually the other the other enemy that um is uh is very annoying are the crows so crows what from [39:29.840 –> 39:35.840] yeah from from time to time there are some like phantom crows or or birds that will um [39:36.960 –> 39:42.320] uh appear uh i think they only appear during the day when you’ve got high panics your panic [39:42.320 –> 39:48.640] sort of like can um uh stay high drought throughout the day but being in the daylight does [39:48.640 –> 40:00.080] um uh reduce your panic um but uh they um will steal um uh they will steal fish from your boat [40:00.080 –> 40:05.840] so uh they’re they’re very annoying and that if they’re something like you you might be getting [40:05.840 –> 40:10.320] a fish for a specific quest or something and the crows always take the fish that you need you might [40:10.560 –> 40:17.360] have fish on your boat and they’ll just take the one that you need of course i wonder part of me [40:17.360 –> 40:24.640] would say that could almost be intentional without the bullet um i had no idea that the uh the seagulls [40:24.640 –> 40:33.280] from finding anymore in the game um oh man um i will say again i haven’t played it but the one [40:33.360 –> 40:40.640] i’ve seen slash heard about that i like is the uh the goat the boat angler fish um apparently [40:40.640 –> 40:44.800] there’s like a big angler fish that looks like a boat at a distance but then when you approach [40:44.800 –> 40:52.320] it’s actually just a giant angler fish um i think it’s a really clever concept um but yeah that’s uh [40:53.360 –> 40:57.840] they’re really really good designs um just looking through some of the images here [40:58.400 –> 41:08.240] they feel like eldritch underwater horrors um but uh yeah no it’s actually let me i want i think [41:08.240 –> 41:16.320] i should say this like the art direction of the game in general is just top top notch um like [41:16.320 –> 41:23.680] what what do you call that Celsius is that that’s not Celsius it’s a very soft sort of art style [41:24.560 –> 41:33.120] um a lot of brown and orange color scheme for um well i guess depends on the time of the day but [41:33.120 –> 41:40.800] um it has a very gloomy feeling overall with Jenna yeah it has a gloomy feeling and like a lot of the [41:40.800 –> 41:47.680] characters and stuff kind of give me um like graphic novel sort of vibes to uh like a horror [41:47.680 –> 41:52.080] graphic like if i was reading a horror graphic novel a lot of the characters feel like they’re [41:52.720 –> 41:59.760] illustrated in a way like i would expect to see in in in one of them yeah yeah definitely [41:59.760 –> 42:04.000] right because when you’re talking to the characters it’s like a more they’re what [42:04.000 –> 42:09.120] you call them their portraits that’s the word almost kind of painted ish style um [42:10.880 –> 42:17.840] and i agree yeah everyone looks kind of grizzled nobody’s smiley or happy right um [42:18.800 –> 42:27.360] so it’s uh even the dog i see here looks kind of skinny um but uh actually i guess we should [42:27.360 –> 42:31.360] pro are there any standout characters like i don’t this is one of the things i haven’t [42:31.360 –> 42:36.720] heard about i don’t know how well written or memorable some of the characters uh no i don’t [42:36.720 –> 42:43.600] think any of the characters are super memorable um or or really stand out like i think the story [42:43.680 –> 42:49.120] is kind of compelling enough and you know kind of what you would expect for this sort of game [42:49.120 –> 42:53.680] i don’t want to say too much about it because it’s uh the game’s not super long so it’s a [42:53.680 –> 43:00.320] really easy sort of story to to spoil um and i think it’s one of the things where you know [43:00.320 –> 43:05.200] this is the sort of game that i think you sort of start and and you know some people be really into [43:05.200 –> 43:08.400] it for the fishing and collection aspect and some people are like oh this is kind of fun enough and [43:08.400 –> 43:12.720] i kind of just want to get through the story and i think i was more in the the latter category like [43:12.720 –> 43:17.680] i don’t feel a strong need to go and get all versions of all of the fish um like there&rsqu
