After starting with Everton's most-successful skipper Kevin Ratcliffe at the Cheshire Cat pub in Christleton in March 2024, the 20th and final episode of the Goodison Park: My Home series sees Chris Beesley at ‘The Grand Old Lady' herself, to speak to current club captain Seamus Coleman. Arguably the best pound for pound signing of the Premier League era with his fabled “Sixty Grand” fee that features in a popular supporters' song, the Republic of Ireland international holds the Blues record for the most matches in the competition and is widely regarded as being their best player in his position of modern times. Lauded by then Everton manager Frank Lampard as “the best man I've ever met,” after the 3-2 comeback win over Crystal Palace in 2022 to secure top flight survival, the right-back from Killybegs, County Donegal, has epitomised the ‘Spirit of the Blues' both on and off the pitch for over 16 years since joining from Sligo Rovers in January 2009 and unlike many of his team-mates, he chooses to live in Liverpool itself. Speaking in his usual, candid manner, Coleman talks passionately to the ECHO about his love for Goodison Park, Everton Football Club and its fanbase.   Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:  https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here: https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO's Royal Blue YouTube channel.

(0:00:33) Aislinn: My name is Aislinn. (0:00:34) Codey: And my name is Cody. (0:00:36) Aislinn: And we are here to talk about cottagecore games. (0:00:39) Codey: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, I’ve been doing the wolf (0:00:39) Aislinn: Woo-hoo! (0:00:42) Aislinn: We got some extra in there. (0:00:46) Codey: one. The wolfish. Oh, oh, oh, I don’t know why. Oh, you know, (0:00:47) Aislinn: Ooh! (0:00:50) Aislinn: All I can offer is just the woo. (0:00:52) Aislinn: I can give a little meow. (0:00:55) Codey: well, you’re the you’re the coup, aren’t you? The (0:00:58) Aislinn: That’s true. I am the coup. (0:00:59) Aislinn: I’m just I’m in I’m in cat my brain is only cats with these (0:01:03) Aislinn: two kittens. The two kitties. I did I did talk about them. I (0:01:04) Codey: kittens. Have you talked about them? Okay, good. (0:01:11) Aislinn: think I mentioned I think yeah, at the time when I record last (0:01:17) Aislinn: recorded with Kevin in for wonder stop. It was pre Yeah, I (0:01:18) Codey: Mm hm. (0:01:23) Aislinn: was pre kittens. We were in the process of like getting them. (0:01:24) Codey: Mm hm. (0:01:26) Codey: Mm hm. (0:01:27) Aislinn: And now we have them. (0:01:29) Aislinn: So if y’all hear any craziness in the background, that’s them having the zoomies because they’re (0:01:34) Aislinn: five months old and don’t know how to relax sometimes. (0:01:43) Aislinn: But today we are talking about Bugaboo Pocket. (0:01:47) Aislinn: It is not to go into it too much, but it is essentially like a bug collecting. (0:01:48) Codey: Woo. (0:01:59) Aislinn: And caring type of game. (0:02:02) Codey: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. (0:02:03) Aislinn: It reminds me of Tamagotchi, but bugs. (0:02:08) Aislinn: And we won’t go too much into it, but that’s the general gist of it. (0:02:12) Aislinn: But otherwise, what have you been up to? (0:02:16) Codey: I am still doing a PhD and I’m so close. I did get the approval from my committee that I should be (0:02:22) Aislinn: so close. (0:02:29) Codey: good to defend in the fall as long as I continue to follow my timeline. I’m so close to being a (0:02:31) Aislinn: Yes. Oh my gosh. Oh (0:02:37) Codey: doctor. So weird. (0:02:38) Aislinn: My god, you’re already a doctor in my heart, honestly (0:02:43) Aislinn: I’m out of time and effort and energy and everything you put in you’re you’re already there. It’s just you just need the technicalities of (0:02:50) Codey: that like paper that says that I am. Yeah, basically. So I’m (0:02:52) Aislinn: Exactly (0:02:57) Codey: doing a lot of specimens. But, which is really fun. It’s (0:03:01) Codey: basically like just pouring out vials of dead bugs, we call it (0:03:04) Aislinn: Oh! (0:03:04) Codey: bugs, bug soup. So pouring out bug soup, and then going through (0:03:10) Codey: and identifying it. And I found something super rare the other (0:03:13) Codey: day, and I lost my mind. So there’s this entire order of (0:03:18) Codey: in Sarcs called Strepsipterin. (0:03:20) Codey: It’s actually called Strepsipterin, which is the one that’s in this area. (0:03:25) Codey: And it’s also called Strepsipterin, which is actually called Strepsipterin. (0:03:28) Codey: And it’s this one, which is this one called Strepsipterin, which is this one called Strepsipterin. (0:03:32) Codey: And it’s also called Strepsipterin, which is this one called Strepsipterin, which is this (0:03:36) Codey: one called Strepsipterin, which is this one called Strepsipterin, which is this one called (0:03:38) Aislinn: Oh. (0:03:38) Codey: Strepsipterin, which is this one called Strepsipterin, which is this one called Strepsipterin, (0:03:41) Codey: which is this one called Strepsipterin, which is this one called Strepsipterin, which is (0:03:41) Aislinn: Oh. (0:03:45) Codey: this one called Strepsipterin, which is this one called Strepsipterin, which is this one (0:03:48) Codey: and then like mates with (0:03:50) Codey: her while she’s in the wasp and then she has babies. (0:03:54) Codey: And it’s just, so the female never has wings, but the males (0:03:57) Codey: have wings and they have like, I believe really short flight (0:04:00) Codey: periods. And I caught three males. So like just in the (0:04:03) Aislinn: Oh! (0:04:05) Codey: middle of my bug soup, I was just like, Holy crap, it’s a (0:04:08) Codey: strep septarin. And then I was like, Oh my God, there’s more. (0:04:12) Codey: So it was really cool because the whole, like one of the (0:04:15) Codey: points of my study is to see if there’s one of the three traps (0:04:19) Codey: that I’m testing if one is. (0:04:20) Codey: Better than the other, and these are only caught in that one type of trap. (0:04:21) Aislinn: Oh, so you’re making progress. (0:04:24) Codey: So that’s like, yeah. (0:04:28) Codey: So it’s like, okay, we’ll look at this cool thing that was never, ever caught (0:04:32) Codey: in the other traps, but is all has been caught in, um, this new trap thing. (0:04:37) Codey: So that was cool. (0:04:39) Codey: But other than that, I’ve been playing, I’m still playing Fortnite with my roommate. (0:04:43) Codey: Um, just like something to, we like play a game or two at a time to just like. (0:04:50) Codey: Chill. (0:04:51) Codey: Um, and then I started playing breath of the wild. (0:04:57) Codey: I have never finished it. (0:04:59) Codey: Um, and I barely got into the game, to be honest, like the last times that I’ve (0:05:04) Codey: played it, so I’m playing it now and I’m playing it kind of with Jeff, um, (0:05:10) Codey: because he lives with me now. (0:05:12) Aislinn: Wow! (laughs) (0:05:12) Codey: And so like I play it while we’re both in the same room. (0:05:16) Codey: He’s usually playing like factorial or something. (0:05:20) Codey: We like watch it and play it together. (0:05:22) Codey: So it’s, it’s nice. (0:05:24) Codey: And hopefully having like a second person who’s interested in the story will (0:05:27) Codey: like help me to actually finish it. (0:05:31) Aislinn: I think I have that same exact relationship with Breath of the Wild like I started it and to be (0:05:36) Aislinn: fair I don’t have it anymore because it was part of I think I’ve I feel like I’ve told the story (0:05:38) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:05:41) Aislinn: like a bunch of times so you may or may not have heard it the listeners probably haven’t heard it (0:05:45) Aislinn: but long story short my switch got stolen years ago along with a bunch of games Breath of the Wild (0:05:50) Aislinn: being one of them so I currently don’t own it anymore the idea of buying it I’m just like do (0:05:57) Aislinn: I really need to because I never really got into it in the first place. (0:06:01) Aislinn: For some reason, but like I am interested in it as a whole entire overview. (0:06:07) Aislinn: I just never fully got into it, but I think maybe if Chris and I like sat down (0:06:13) Aislinn: on the couch and try to like play it together, that might encourage me more. (0:06:14) Codey: Yeah, that’s so that’s what I’m doing with Jeff is kind of just like dedicating that time to just sitting down and playing it together and it’s really nice. (0:06:26) Codey: And so, doing that and then the last thing that I’ll mention is that oblivion remastered came out and I am a huge Elder Scrolls fan, but I resisted the temptation, because I need to finish Zelda first I think I need to just like stick with one thing. (0:06:44) Aislinn: I can’t believe the way they dropped it, it was just like a shadow drop, right? (0:06:44) Codey: So I looked at oblivion and I was like, you’ll be here wait for me wait for me. (0:06:54) Codey: It was Yeah, like, I remember like Jeff was like, Oh, babe, they’re really there. They just announced this thing and then like two days later, one of my best friends who I actually played the original oblivion with back when we were in high school, or middle (0:07:12) Codey: maybe even he was like, Oh yeah, I’m playing this. (0:07:14) Codey: And I was bringing up so many memories. (0:07:17) Codey: And I was like, Oh my gosh. (0:07:18) Codey: So yeah, it was like just a straight up shadow drop. (0:07:22) Codey: Um, and it’s fun to see all the memes people are, are saying. (0:07:26) Codey: So, but I am going to wait. (0:07:28) Aislinn: Yeah, that’s, you know, that’s a fair point. (0:07:30) Codey: I’ve played it before I can, it can wait for me. (0:07:34) Aislinn: Breath of the Wild is a new game, new experience, but it’s like, I don’t know, watching the (0:07:40) Aislinn: trailer for Oblivion, I’ve never played anything in that world. (0:07:42) Codey: - Ooh. (0:07:45) Aislinn: But like looking at the trailer and seeing how excited Chris was, because Chris is also (0:07:47) Codey: - Yeah. (0:07:48) Aislinn: a huge Elder Scrolls fan. (0:07:52) Aislinn: He was so badly wanted to drop everything to play it, but he’s like, we have things (0:07:56) Aislinn: we have to do. (0:07:57) Codey: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I mean, the other thing is that like, it’s on game pass. So if folks if they (0:07:58) Aislinn: But it looks amazing, so like, I don’t know how you resist the temptation because I would be tempted to play something that I know I’m going to really really enjoy. (0:08:16) Codey: don’t know, it’s on game pass. And so that was like the biggest temptation is my friend told me (0:08:22) Codey: that it was out. And I was like, Yeah, but I can’t afford that. I can’t even afford $20 game (0:08:26) Codey: little one is 60. (0:08:28) Codey: And then I got on my Xbox and I saw that it was on game pass and I was like, oh, oh, no, oh, no, no. (0:08:34) Aislinn: Yeah. I think when I was streaming earlier this week, he’s like, “Sara, I ended up starting to download it while you just started streaming.” (0:08:44) Aislinn: He’s like, “Did you notice any drops?” I was like, “Oh, no, but okay.” (0:08:44) Codey: I can’t remember if I downloaded it or not. (0:08:49) Aislinn: So he’s all set up ready to go. (0:08:55) Codey: I downloaded Ori and the Blind Forest because I was about to start playing that, too. (0:09:02) Codey: I was playing that on my Switch and then we switched to Jeff’s Switch and Jeff’s Xbox. (0:09:09) Codey: I was playing it on my Xbox and now we’re on Jeff’s Xbox. (0:09:13) Codey: So I was like, Oh, I need to download that again. (0:09:14) Codey: Um, but that I was like, but I need to focus and I, if I’m going to focus on a game right (0:09:21) Codey: now, I want it to be Zelda. (0:09:22) Codey: So all of this to say, uh, mostly Zelda. (0:09:28) Aislinn: I so I will admit that I have been so so so so I think I already said this on the (0:09:29) Codey: What about you? (0:09:30) Codey: What have you been up to? (0:09:31) Codey: What do you mean? (0:09:39) Aislinn: wanders top episode actually no I was in a different I was less busy pre it’s (0:09:45) Aislinn: like pre and post wanders top is a is like a milestone in my mo in my life at (0:09:50) Aislinn: the moment for some reason like pre wanders top I was busy but once I finished (0:09:54) Aislinn: wanders up something? Actually, you know what, what happened was the cats. (0:09:58) Aislinn: The cats came into the picture, and in addition to working, taking care of what feels like (0:10:05) Aislinn: five toddlers simultaneously, even though it’s just two kittens, and wedding, actively (0:10:08) Codey: Yeah. (0:10:13) Aislinn: wedding planning. It’s been like very, very busy. But with that said, with the time that (0:10:19) Aislinn: I do have, I’ve been trying to play as much bugaboo pocket as possible, which I’ve unlocked (0:10:24) Codey: Sweet. (0:10:26) Aislinn: or b- (0:10:28) Aislinn: I made good progress in the story I think, but um I’ve also been playing whenever I can (0:10:28) Codey: Okay. (0:10:30) Codey: Okay. (0:10:40) Aislinn: Persona 3 reload still. I’m a little bit more than halfway through the game and I finally finally (0:10:48) Aislinn: finally finally picked up Fields of Mistria and I want to dedicate my entire life to that game (0:10:51) Codey: Mm hmm. Yeah. (0:10:56) Aislinn: but I’m like, I- (0:10:58) Aislinn: I have to resist, I have to resist ‘cause I’m like, I do like, same with like Oblivion remastered just coming out, I’m like, I want to finish Persona first, but I’m already really really enjoying Fields of Mistria, which is like, it’s been good, everyone has been saying it’s good, and like, yeah, no, it’s good, so, um, that’s primarily what I’ve been doing. (0:11:20) Codey: hmm okay awesome well we will talk more about bugaboo pocket but first there’s news (0:11:23) Aislinn: Yes. (0:11:28) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:11:30) Aislinn: So I actually kind of want to talk a little bit about this (0:11:32) Aislinn: first one. (0:11:34) Aislinn: I don’t know how to pronounce it. (0:11:36) Aislinn: Dolok town, Dolok town. (0:11:37) Codey: that’s that I thought dolok I think that’s right (0:11:40) Aislinn: Either way in my quest for finding something to give me (0:11:46) Aislinn: more energy today because today I’ve just been very low energy (0:11:50) Aislinn: for some reason. (0:11:50) Aislinn: I think because it’s like my first proper day off and I just (0:11:52) Aislinn: don’t know how to function and not be like I don’t know how to (0:11:56) Aislinn: not be busy right now. (0:11:58) Aislinn: It’s just like a blob. (0:11:58) Aislinn: But in my quest to try and like give myself some energy, I (0:12:02) Aislinn: actually downloaded the demo because looking at it for this (0:12:06) Codey: OK. (0:12:06) Aislinn: podcast already caught my interest very quickly. (0:12:10) Aislinn: And it’s really cool so far. (0:12:12) Aislinn: But early access is coming soon. (0:12:16) Aislinn: There’s just a demo. (0:12:18) Aislinn: So if you didn’t know, there is a demo, the demo. (0:12:20) Aislinn: I didn’t play much of the demo, but the demo already is like (0:12:22) Aislinn: pretty cool. (0:12:24) Aislinn: Um, but it is a (0:12:28) Aislinn: farming sim in a way, but it’s a side scroller, which feels (0:12:33) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:12:34) Aislinn: very different from what I’m used to at least, it’s someone (0:12:37) Aislinn: that is very selective about farming games. And there’s, (0:12:42) Aislinn: yeah, there’s crafting, there’s cooking, fishing, farming, of (0:12:47) Aislinn: course. And it looked like there was also like some actual like (0:12:51) Aislinn: platform like platforming that is happening in some capacity. (0:12:56) Aislinn: so it really caught my interest. (0:12:58) Aislinn: I don’t know if you know much about the game as well. (0:13:02) Codey: I, I just looked at the what was on there so the quote that they had for the early access (0:13:11) Codey: is immerse yourself in a rich farming experience with harvesting building crafting cooking (0:13:15) Codey: fishing and more brave extreme weather and make it yours, no idea what that means explore (0:13:22) Aislinn: I don’t know what that means either. (0:13:23) Codey: the vast wasteland and uncover the secrets beneath discover the the charm of Dolok town (0:13:29) Codey: in the story of its people, a customizable drone. (0:13:32) Codey: a companion designed to safeguard you and the wilderness. I’m assuming that means that there is one. (0:13:46) Aislinn: Yeah, I think that’s why I am definitely partial towards anime-esque. (0:13:54) Aislinn: When you’re actually in the game, it’s less more so, it’s definitely more leaning on the (0:13:57) Codey: - Yeah. (0:13:59) Aislinn: pixel aesthetic, but like the art for the game, yeah, has that anime aesthetic. (0:14:04) Aislinn: But it’s nice, like I could definitely see where they’re trying to go with it charm-wise (0:14:10) Aislinn: for the game. (0:14:11) Codey: Mm-hmm this guy (0:14:12) Aislinn: And like right off the gate, there’s already some very interesting dialogue just in the (0:14:16) Aislinn: background. (0:14:18) Aislinn: So it seems like, or it says also over the past few months, the team has been working (0:14:23) Aislinn: hard to refine the game and get it ready for its initial release. (0:14:27) Aislinn: And we’re thrilled to see that it’s only two weeks away. (0:14:30) Codey: Woo! So yeah, that’s the big news, is that the Early Access is coming on May 8th. (0:14:31) Aislinn: So yay! (0:14:36) Aislinn: And also, just because I thought this was really cool, if you join the Discord, you (0:14:40) Codey: Mm-hmm, oh, like a downloadable version? (0:14:41) Aislinn: get the OST on launch, which normally you have to pay for that on Steam. (0:14:46) Aislinn: So, I don’t know exactly, because I don’t talk about how exactly what that process is, (0:14:53) Aislinn: but yeah, you can get the OST for free, it seems like, if you just join the Discord. (0:14:59) Codey: Wow, have you how’s the music? (0:15:01) Aislinn: So that’s pretty cool. (0:15:03) Aislinn: So far, I already really like it. (0:15:04) Codey: Okay (0:15:06) Aislinn: It fits the aesthetic of the game really well. (0:15:08) Codey: Nice (0:15:10) Codey: Yeah, cool and the that early access is gonna have 20 hours of gameplay which is nuts for an early access (0:15:16) Aislinn: Yeah, that’s that’s really good. (0:15:18) Codey: And that that’s only like part of the story (0:15:22) Codey: crazy (0:15:23) Codey: So cool. Well, we will continue to check in with you about Dolan (0:15:29) Codey: You downloaded the demo (0:15:33) Codey: I am the Disney Dreamlight Valley correspondent and here that is (0:15:37) Aislinn: Yes. (0:15:40) Codey: the next (0:15:43) Codey: Sorry, I just was getting a phone call and it cut off my recording so al I’m sorry, there’s two recordings (0:15:51) Codey: Disney Disney Dreamlight Valley has a new update. So they have the Wonderland whimsy update which adds an Alice in Wonderland realm (0:15:59) Codey: Alice and the Cheshire cat as characters (0:16:02) Aislinn: I for some reason I thought there were already characters, but I am I still have yet to play this game (0:16:02) Codey: so (0:16:07) Aislinn: I think like you told me like when we first recorded way back when to play Disney Dreamlight Valley, and I still have not (0:16:07) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:16:12) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:16:15) Codey: Yeah, it’s a lot it’s a lot and there is a poll like I feel the pull to it since (0:16:16) Aislinn: This is a backlog (0:16:22) Codey: Again switched to Jeff’s Xbox. He has a Xbox series s so it’s like a really better one (0:16:29) Codey: And it does not when I played it (0:16:32) Codey: Disney Dreamlight Valley does not have lag on his the way that it did on my Xbox one (0:16:39) Codey: So I I feel the pull for sure (0:16:42) Codey: I don’t know. I’ll have to look at the (0:16:46) Codey: Because usually with these patches they also have like a small (0:16:53) Codey: Gosh, what are they called? (0:16:56) Codey: I’m trying to oh my gosh. Sorry. I was just (0:16:59) Codey: looking at this. Oh, uh, oh, uh, does not include seasonal star path. Oh, that’s something else. (0:17:05) Codey: I’m wondering if they have a star path. Oh yeah, the regard garden of whimsy star path. So the star (0:17:10) Codey: paths are like usually those are time limited. Um, and you can get some really neat items. So maybe (0:17:15) Codey: I’ll jump on this game here, uh, like to later today and see if there’s any good items, um, (0:17:21) Codey: for the star path and see if I’m really like tempted to get anything. Um, (0:17:29) Codey: I don’t know. Did you ever see like the old Alice game? That was like super creepy. (0:17:36) Aislinn: I have like the vague, for whatever reason the way that you phrased it just gave me like the vaguest recollection of it. (0:17:42) Codey: Um hmm. Yeah. So whenever I think of Alice in Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat, I think of (0:17:44) Aislinn: Let me see if I look at- Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. (0:17:51) Codey: that one because the round little cuddly Cheshire Cat that’s in, or I think of the one in the (0:17:57) Codey: Johnny Depp films, because when I think of like, when I see this Cheshire Cat, like the (0:18:01) Codey: original Alice in Wonderland Cheshire Cat, I’m like, this looks goofy versus like the (0:18:07) Codey: original horror Alice games, uh, and kind of also the one. (0:18:12) Codey: In the live action is like creepy. Um, and I prefer the Cheshire Cat being creepy. So, uh, (0:18:21) Codey: yeah, so I will look at, look at it and see if there’s anything cool in the star path. Um, (0:18:27) Codey: later today. The other thing, the thing I was laughing about is, uh, (0:18:31) Codey: uncrafting. So there’s now an, there’s now an uncrafting station, which I love it. Uh, so you can (0:18:34) Aislinn: on crafting. (0:18:42) Codey: uncraft non-quest crafted items and recycle the materials. Yeah. There are times like when the (0:18:47) Aislinn: Oh, that’s so good. (0:18:51) Codey: characters like at the end of the quest. So I’m assuming I’m hoping it means like if they are no (0:18:56) Codey: longer needed in the quest, because they’ll be like, Oh, build me this beautiful gondola, (0:19:03) Codey: like saying that I can, then we can get married under or something. And then you build this huge (0:19:09) Codey: thing and then after the the action of it they’re like (0:19:12) Codey: okay here is the here have this and I’m like I don’t want this like I don’t (0:19:20) Codey: actually want this yeah so yeah so you can now do that which is hilarious they (0:19:21) Aislinn: Give me my materials back. (0:19:32) Codey: also have upgradable chests which is amazing so instead of having if you have (0:19:39) Codey: small chest and then you don’t you want to get a large chest you (0:19:42) Codey: have to like build the large chest and then set it next to the small chest and (0:19:47) Codey: then like scooch everything over and it’s just pain in the butt now you can (0:19:50) Codey: just like upgrade the smaller chests instead which is awesome there’s more (0:19:57) Codey: alignment in the sub grid you can make your house bigger just like some basic (0:20:03) Codey: things and then other changes and bug fixes so I’m excited looks cool (0:20:10) Aislinn: I just, the idea, I don’t know why the idea of being able to uncraft something has never (0:20:17) Aislinn: crossed my mind, but now that that idea has been implanted into my brain, now I’m like (0:20:23) Aislinn: why do more games not have this, because this is really cool and I really like that and (0:20:28) Aislinn: that would be very nice. (0:20:29) Codey: Yeah (0:20:30) Codey: To be able to like I mean there are some games that can do that (0:20:34) Codey: I know that I want to say minecraft has one where like a table that you can go take your stuff to and then it’ll (0:20:39) Codey: Like give you the components or something (0:20:41) Aislinn: very cool indeed and I guess with that said do you have anything else that you (0:20:42) Codey: Yeah, it’s not super common so cool (0:20:48) Codey: Yeah (0:20:51) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:20:52) Aislinn: want to touch on with disney dreamlight valley (0:20:54) Codey: No, I was gonna move on let’s move on (0:20:56) Aislinn: okay I guess I so I do you know anything about the roots of pacha (0:21:00) Codey: I played roots of Pacha (0:21:02) Aislinn: - Okay. (laughs) (0:21:03) Codey: Or Pacha. I think I say Pacha (0:21:06) Codey: It is a super cool like it’s basically caveman stardew or prehistoric stardew (0:21:12) Codey: I think is what we used to say so they have a 1.3 update that is out now and it adds two new regions (0:21:18) Codey: so those regions are the (0:21:20) Codey: Mograni mountains and (0:21:23) Codey: the (0:21:25) Codey: to do scroll scroll scroll yaku on islands (0:21:29) Codey: um so I think it just like adds on to what is already in the game like (0:21:34) Codey: different areas that you can just now go to that you previously couldn’t go to (0:21:39) Codey: each area has a decent amount of new characters um but overall there’s 21 new characters uh and two (0:21:48) Codey: of them are romanceable and I just always want to shout out that one of the characters who’s (0:21:54) Codey: romanceable, the mountain guy is older. So he’s got like (0:21:59) Codey: white hair, like gray hair. And I am just as I get into my (0:22:03) Codey: elder years, I am just always so happy. You see that that (0:22:12) Codey: they’re, they’re letting us old people. Old people mean love (0:22:15) Aislinn: No, I agree, I do, I, like, I saw that note and I was like, “That’s really, really awesome.” (0:22:18) Codey: too. Yeah, so that was cool. There’s also new animals. They’ve (0:22:28) Codey: We’ve got like a prehistory. (0:22:29) Codey: For a giraffe thing, they’ve got something that was a precursor to the modern sheep. (0:22:37) Codey: They got a dodo bird because of course, like why wasn’t that in the game already? (0:22:42) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:22:45) Codey: And then they also added modern animals. (0:22:47) Codey: So I don’t, I can’t remember if it’s like something that you can, like one of the ideas (0:22:52) Codey: that you can add on that someone like thinks of like modernizing the animals or whatever, (0:22:57) Codey: but you end up (0:22:59) Codey: like with what you would think are the modern animals from it which is really cool. (0:23:04) Aislinn: Oh, so they’re not like actually modern animals, they’re just what could be modern animals, (0:23:10) Codey: So it’s I think you basically like take the animal from before or the animal that’s in the (0:23:10) Aislinn: like reimagined? (0:23:18) Codey: game already and I think you just like do some weird genetic stuff with it or something like (0:23:23) Codey: that and then it’s suddenly the the modern version. So yeah. (0:23:29) Codey: That is cool. There’s new clothing, decoration, seeds. They also added modern seeds. So I think (0:23:37) Codey: similarly you can update the ones that you have to be like the legit modern seeds instead (0:23:43) Codey: of working with like prehistoric versions. One of the mini games is a music game. So for people (0:23:51) Codey: like Al who I know likes those like rhythm games, there’s one of those where you use the up and down (0:23:56) Aislinn: Yeah, I was looking at that too. It’s cool. I like that. I also like a good rhythm game (0:23:58) Codey: arrows kind of like (0:23:59) Codey: I mean, it looks like basically guitar here, but (0:24:02) Codey: using, yeah, I was a little, I was, I was interested. (0:24:11) Aislinn: or music game. So like my I will revisit on a regular basis Project Diva, which is the (0:24:17) Aislinn: Vocaloid music game. So like, I’m all over rhythm games. So any any inclusion of that (0:24:23) Aislinn: I am so on it. (0:24:25) Codey: Um, and then the final thing was that there is now bug catching with an asterisk. (0:24:32) Aislinn: Whoa. Oh. (0:24:35) Codey: So it’s not, it’s not like what you’d think it’s that there’s like a couple new places (0:24:42) Codey: that you can go to. (0:24:43) Codey: And then you basically like play an instrument and it like calls the bugs to you. (0:24:49) Codey: And then you can catch them from there. (0:24:51) Codey: It’s just, it’s not, it’s not what you’d expect. (0:24:55) Codey: Which I like that they’re doing new things. (0:24:57) Codey: They also have, they had a new way to like tame animals and a new way to fish and all of that. (0:25:02) Codey: Super love the way that they’ve been doing, innovating in that regard. (0:25:07) Codey: But, you know, I want to be able to just go catch bugs the way that I, the way that I do. (0:25:12) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:25:16) Codey: On my hike today, there were a couple of people that came up because I was like flipping logs (0:25:20) Codey: and they were like, what are you doing? What you looking for? And I was like, I mean, (0:25:22) Aislinn: Ah ha. (0:25:25) Codey: anything. I just want to see cool, cool bugs or salamanders or something. (0:25:28) Aislinn: Just anything. (0:25:30) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:25:33) Codey: It’s a little early for that. But yeah, that’s basically, I just want to be able to like find (0:25:36) Codey: cool bugs. And that’s, that’s that update. So that update is out now. If you already own the game, (0:25:36) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:25:38) Aislinn: Well. (0:25:44) Codey: then you just get it. And if you do not own the game, maybe having a little bit more story and (0:25:51) Codey: bug catching and the rhythm game, uh, push you, uh, (0:25:55) Codey: to do it. Maybe that’s something that’s of interest. (0:25:58) Aislinn: Yeah, that all sounds good to me. Will I play it? I don’t know. Again, only so many farming (0:26:06) Aislinn: games I can do. But I like the romanceable older person. That is like one thing that’s (0:26:08) Codey: - Yeah, I. (0:26:14) Aislinn: like a game changer for me. I do like that a lot. (0:26:16) Codey: Yeah, I have it on Windows. (0:26:20) Codey: So if we end up moving my desktop up to my office, (0:26:24) Codey: which is like a blessing and a curse (0:26:27) Codey: because I want this to remain my work office, (0:26:28) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:26:30) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:26:31) Codey: but also like I am not playing my desktop downstairs. (0:26:34) Aislinn: Yeah? [laughs] (0:26:34) Codey: But yeah, I might, I might bring that up and load this game back up and see, see how that (0:26:44) Codey: older guy is. I like his personality or not. (0:26:45) Aislinn: yeah hopefully he’s got good personality I guess with that well not really with (0:26:55) Aislinn: that said it’s not really very good transition but another game that I (0:27:00) Aislinn: unfortunately don’t know much about over magica do you are you familiar oh (0:27:03) Codey: Okay. (0:27:08) Codey: Yeah, yeah, so OvaMagica is the like farming adventure, (0:27:08) Aislinn: perfect wonderful (0:27:15) Codey: whatever creature collector game where all of the creatures (0:27:16) Aislinn: Mmhmm. (0:27:17) Codey: are like these little round boys. (0:27:19) Aislinn: Yeah! (0:27:20) Codey: And so there’s like, and they just kind of like blob (0:27:23) Codey: around behind you, just super cute. (0:27:26) Codey: They have released the 0.9 update that adds some new areas, (0:27:31) Codey: new friendship events with the characters. (0:27:35) Codey: And there’s also a new thing, I can’t remember what it’s (0:27:38) Codey: called, like Ovotron or something, but it’s something (0:27:40) Codey: that allows you to X-ray into a egg before it hatches (0:27:46) Codey: to be able to see what is in the egg, which is super nice. (0:27:51) Codey: Like say that you’re trying to breed for something, (0:27:55) Codey: you’d be able to see kind of like. (0:27:56) Codey: Like expect what is in that egg. (0:27:59) Codey: Um, which is cool. (0:28:03) Codey: And so that zero of one ninth update is out now. (0:28:07) Codey: Um, and the, they also said in this that the 1.0 is coming this year. (0:28:12) Aislinn: Hmm. Oh no. Yeah. I feel like I’ve been seeing it like even though I don’t know much about (0:28:13) Codey: I cannot remember how many years that has been a promise. (0:28:20) Codey: But I feel like it’s been some, it could have just been one. (0:28:23) Codey: They could have just been yet last year. (0:28:24) Codey: I don’t know, but I feel like this is a game we’ve been talking (0:28:26) Codey: for a hot minute, so. (0:28:31) Aislinn: it, I feel like I’ve somehow been like stumbling across it like pretty regularly. Um, so hopefully, (0:28:34) Codey: - Mm-hmm. (0:28:38) Aislinn: - Hopefully, hopefully. (0:28:39) Codey: No, Ms. Chloe. (0:28:41) Codey: Yeah. (0:28:42) Aislinn: - Hopefully, it’s coming, 1.0, this year. (0:28:45) Aislinn: I mean, there’s a lot of this year left, (0:28:47) Aislinn: so fingers crossed, and it looks like it’s mostly, (0:28:50) Aislinn: if not already, just about fully fleshed out game-wise, so. (0:28:54) Codey: Yeah, they don’t have too too much to add to it. So we’ll see where it where it goes (0:29:02) Aislinn: can I just say I love the cow blob in the in like the main photo (0:29:04) Codey: Yeah (0:29:07) Codey: They’re (0:29:08) Codey: They’re all cute. I love the cow blob. I love the fox blob. The bee blob is cute. Like they I have not seen a blob (0:29:13) Aislinn: oh (0:29:16) Codey: I didn’t love so (0:29:18) Aislinn: I like the turtle one too they’re all so cute (0:29:19) Codey: Yeah, they’re they’re all very cute (0:29:23) Aislinn: and shout out to motion sickness settings because that’s a that’s a (0:29:26) Aislinn: that’s a big one for me for a lot of games so anything with that that’s nice (0:29:28) Codey: - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, well, are we three for three? (0:29:34) Codey: Have you heard of a game called GoGo Town? (0:29:36) Aislinn: I know of, literally I only know of Gogotown because of this podcast. (0:29:42) Codey: Okay, cool, we’ll take it away. (0:29:46) Aislinn: A lot of my new game knowledge comes from this podcast, I will not lie. (0:29:55) Aislinn: But it looks like that online co-op is coming soon for Gogotown (0:30:04) Aislinn: and looking at the video earlier that they took. (0:30:06) Aislinn: It looks pretty good. It says that they still have some bugs, but they are working on it, and it’s coming very soon. (0:30:15) Aislinn: And also they do make a note that there will be no split screen for online co-op, just as a general note. (0:30:24) Aislinn: There isn’t much more of an update with that, but they did give a sneak peek. It looks cool. (0:30:35) Codey: I don’t know if we’d seen a video of it before, so that was nice to see. (0:30:36) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:30:40) Codey: And I know people are always interested in like whether or not the co-op is split screen. (0:30:44) Codey: So though I feel like this split screen is so 2000s. (0:30:51) Codey: So I feel like it’s just not like Jeff was Jeff and I were talking about possibly playing Halo. (0:31:00) Codey: And I was like, we’d have to split screen. (0:31:02) Aislinn: yeah it’s so it is so old now that you like just reminding me the halo i’m just like oh yeah that (0:31:08) Aislinn: is like an old thing (0:31:09) Codey: Yeah, like I don’t want to do that ugh (0:31:13) Codey: gross, so (0:31:15) Codey: Yeah (0:31:17) Codey: They’re not gonna have that which is a good thing. But also if you only have one copy of the game that (0:31:22) Aislinn: Yeah, but I guess like general speaking, most people have their own version of the game in some (0:31:27) Aislinn: capacity. So it’s nice that you don’t have to worry about split screen and everyone has their own (0:31:32) Aislinn: screen and you can still do cool. But I think that’s not really all we got on Go Go Town that (0:31:32) Codey: Mm-hmm. Yup, yup, yup. (0:31:39) Aislinn: that blurb from Steam isn’t doesn’t have too much beyond that. So I guess with that said, (0:31:46) Aislinn: we move into Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar. And Cody and I before (0:31:52) Aislinn: we even started recording, we’re both just like, do you know what’s going on? And I’m like, no, (0:31:57) Aislinn: do you know what’s going on? We’re both just like, not really. So I will read whatever I can, (0:32:04) Codey: uh-huh (0:32:04) Aislinn: and then take that as you will. But it looks like 100 crops. So if you really want to be (0:32:08) Codey: Yeah, I (0:32:13) Aislinn: farming? Oh boy, you have a lot of options. (0:32:16) Codey: Yeah, so this next bit like Al wrote it out and I, I think I read this like 10 times, and there’s something about these words that I just like my brain just, they just bounce off my brain, I have a smooth brain when it comes to these words, I don’t understand why. (0:32:37) Codey: And they’re not even hard words. So it just says, this is from Al, it has some stamina system that works differently than normal. (0:32:46) Codey: But was in the original game, you can do more if you jump when doing an action, which is weird, but it costs more stamina, one per usage, six per jump usage, but you’ll get three actions. (0:33:03) Codey: So you’re using up more stamina to save time, but you can still upgrade the tools as well. (0:33:11) Aislinn: See, like, I’m picking up what he’s putting down, Al, but to be fair, I’ve never played (0:33:16) Codey: Yeah, Chloe. (0:33:21) Aislinn: Story of Seasons before, so that is probably a big limiting factor for me. (0:33:27) Aislinn: But if you’ve played Story of Seasons before, this might be appealing to you. (0:33:32) Aislinn: And from my knowledge about farming games in general, being able to use, even if it (0:33:40) Aislinn: sacrifices more salmon. (0:33:41) Aislinn: I just want to say that I’m going to be jumping, like, in farming, like, what am I doing? Am I, like, planting and jumping? Like, I don’t know. Am I jumping across my farm to water all of my 100 crops that I have? (0:33:44) Codey: Okay, but like the logic of it, well, and like if you, so you jump, and it’s more stamina because (0:34:04) Codey: you’re jumping, and that’s like, that’s very intensive, right? But what, but when you jump, (0:34:08) Aislinn: I guess, I mean, that’s what it looks like too, in the screenshot that I’m looking at (0:34:10) Codey: you’re just able to be more efficient. (0:34:14) Codey: Yeah. (0:34:18) Aislinn: on the website. (0:34:20) Aislinn: There’s just a character that’s like doing like a skip type of jump type of motion. (0:34:25) Aislinn: So are you like, I think it’s you’re skipping as you’re farming and you’re getting more (0:34:29) Aislinn: done, but you’re wearing yourself out because you’re skipping. (0:34:32) Aislinn: I mean, skipping is more work, like more body intensive than walking. (0:34:36) Codey: Yeah. You’re right, you’re right. I don’t know. I, that’s how I felt when I read it. (0:34:36) Aislinn: So, you know, it– (0:34:38) Aislinn: this is such a silly conversation. (0:34:46) Codey: I was like, I, and then this website is like fogu.com and I, this website, I was very, (0:34:53) Codey: I was confused. And I, it is not Al. It is not, it is probably just me. I don’t know (0:34:57) Aislinn: No, yeah, well me too, because I’m also… (0:35:03) Codey: of like my ADHD or whatever. (0:35:06) Codey: It was just like, nope, but it was wild. (0:35:11) Codey: So that’s that, uh, I’m sure story of seasons. (0:35:14) Codey: People are probably like, Oh, sick. (0:35:16) Aislinn: But I have no idea, yes, options. (0:35:16) Codey: Like that’s going to be so awesome. (0:35:20) Codey: I’m like, I’m happy for you guys. (0:35:22) Codey: A hundred crops. (0:35:23) Codey: I understand that. (0:35:25) Codey: Uh, he also wrote more than any other story of season game. (0:35:28) Codey: So more crop number go bur. (0:35:34) Aislinn: And it looks like it comes out in, this is probably almost definitely announced at some (0:35:40) Aislinn: point, but looking at the website, it’s coming out August 27th in the states, in North America. (0:35:46) Aislinn: Um, it is, no, it’s already, it’s there, it’s all coming out at the same time. (0:35:46) Codey: I think it’s already out in Japan (0:35:54) Codey: Oh. (0:35:54) Aislinn: So August 27th slash August 28 in Japan, cause of, you know, time zone things and whatnot. (0:35:59) Codey: Okay, cool. (0:36:01) Aislinn: But yeah, we, we’ve, we, we tried our best. (0:36:05) Aislinn: So I, I apologize to all the Storia season fans, it’s the best you’re going to get, but (0:36:05) Codey: Sorry, Al. (0:36:12) Aislinn: I can talk about Stardew Valley. (0:36:14) Codey: Heck yeah, we can. (0:36:16) Aislinn: I tried to get tickets for the Toronto one, and it was just a miserable failure, so I’m happy that they added more dates. (0:36:20) Codey: Okay. (0:36:27) Codey: Yay. (0:36:32) Aislinn: We have not followed up on if we can get tickets for any of the other Toronto ones, or even just somewhere else in Canada, I guess, need be, or in the States or something. (0:36:40) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:36:44) Aislinn: but I (0:36:46) Aislinn: Am happy that they added more dates because trying to get tickets for those has been a wreck (0:36:50) Codey: Yeah, and they added a bunch of dates. So like when I looked at the at the dates like the tour dates just in general (0:36:58) Codey: There are many (0:37:01) Codey: and then all the green ones on the (0:37:05) Codey: The poster are like the new ones, but there’s just they they better like (0:37:12) Codey: Playing that music because my goodness (0:37:15) Aislinn: it’s a lot I i imagine is it all one is it all one what’s the orchestra I was like what’s the (0:37:16) Codey: They are gonna be playing it (0:37:20) Codey: I (0:37:23) Codey: Orchestra, I’m I’m assuming like I don’t think that I wouldn’t think that there’d be like an orchestra at each location (0:37:30) Codey: That’s like I would think that it’s like the one (0:37:34) Codey: Orchestra, that’s just kind of like moving around (0:37:36) Aislinn: Right, I’m just like this is (0:37:37) Codey: Which is probably super cool for people to travel like able to go places, but also this is a lot (0:37:41) Aislinn: Yeah (0:37:45) Aislinn: It is a lot like just looking at the dates in general (0:37:48) Aislinn: It’s like a lot of these dates are like back to back or like same day because of matinee (0:37:52) Codey: Mhmm. But then they’ll be followed by like, they’ll be followed by like, uh, like a, like (0:38:00) Codey: a week off or something. So it’s, it’s, it’s cool, but lots. Yeah. Yeah. So if you have (0:38:02) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:38:05) Aislinn: It’s not like they’re being overworked to an extent, but yeah. (0:38:09) Codey: been wanting tickets and it has been sold out in your area, uh, definitely look, there (0:38:14) Codey: are new dates in US, Canada, and Asia. Um, so new dates, new shows. (0:38:23) Codey: That were already in the some areas, whole new areas too. Um, so yeah, take a look. (0:38:25) Aislinn: Mhm. Yeah. Very, very cool. It’s awesome that they were able to (0:38:33) Aislinn: pull this off. Yeah, I guess that is all the news that we have, (0:38:39) Aislinn: right? Yeah. Woo hoo. So I guess with that said, we can move (0:38:40) Codey: A-woo! (0:38:47) Aislinn: into Bugaboo Pockets, which I am so excited to talk about. (0:38:50) Codey: Yeah (0:38:53) Codey: Yeah, so let’s first talk about what how we played it and how far we are (0:39:00) Codey: so I played it on Mac and I was only able to get the demo and (0:39:07) Codey: So I played what’s on the demo, which is not a lot. I’ll get into that later (0:39:13) Codey: So I don’t have a time. I have like literally like a half an hour (0:39:20) Codey: When payday hits I might be pulling the trigger for this one for sure (0:39:26) Aislinn: - Well, I guess we can get your take after you hear my takes. (0:39:32) Codey: - Mm-hmm, so what have you played? (0:39:33) Aislinn: Since I did buy the game, (0:39:36) Aislinn: I have played it on PC primarily, (0:39:42) Aislinn: which is why I’ve kind of barely played it (0:39:44) Aislinn: because I haven’t really been home so much too much (0:39:46) Aislinn: because of work, (0:39:47) Aislinn: but I did try to play it on my Steam Deck (0:39:50) Aislinn: and it’s technically Steam Deck compatible, (0:39:54) Aislinn: But… eww. (0:39:58) Aislinn: I don’t think… I don’t like it on a Steam Deck because it’s… you could tell it’s a game that’s made for like a mouse. (0:40:10) Aislinn: So like, I’m just running my finger along the Steam Deck screen pretty much, or like along the trackpad. (0:40:16) Aislinn: And I just… if I hooked up a mouse, that’d probably be better. (0:40:20) Aislinn: But like, if you’re playing it just Steam Deck only, nothing else connected to it or anything. (0:40:26) Aislinn: I didn’t like it personally, but on PC it’s great. (0:40:32) Aislinn: And I have… so there are seven bugs total that you could unlock, and I have unlocked four? (0:40:42) Codey: Nice. (0:40:42) Aislinn: Let me double check. Let me go back. (0:40:44) Aislinn: I have the game open in front of me just because of this reason. (0:40:47) Codey: Yeah. (0:40:48) Aislinn: But yeah, so I have the full thing. So I have one, two… no, one, two… (0:40:52) Codey: The full game, yeah. (0:40:56) Aislinn: three, four. Yeah, I have four. Four out of the seven bugs. (0:41:00) Codey: Okay. Cool. Um, so yeah, it’s basically like, to me, it feels (0:41:08) Codey: like bug Tamagotchi. Um, but yeah, but with like a plus, like (0:41:10) Aislinn: Mm hmm. I agree. I agree. Even the UI. (0:41:15) Codey: there’s some extra. So what they say on switch is quote, a (0:41:19) Codey: relaxing semi idle pet game starring bugs from land, air and (0:41:24) Codey: sea players play as a research scientist living in a cabin with (0:41:28) Codey: It’s just your bugs and a pen pal. (0:41:30) Codey: It’s not released yet, I don’t think, based on the website, but it is in the cards. (0:41:54) Aislinn: I don’t know, I really hope that they like make this more, you know, controller friendly. (0:42:04) Codey: - Yeah, well, maybe when they make it controller friendly (0:42:07) Codey: for that, they’ll have some ideas of how to make it (0:42:10) Codey: more controller friendly for the Steam Deck too. (0:42:14) Aislinn: - Yeah, we’ll see, we’ll definitely see. (0:42:19) Codey: So it’s just $20 for the base game, (0:42:21) Codey: or there is a bundle on Steam right now (0:42:24) Codey: called the Celebrate Bugs Bundle. (0:42:27) Codey: And that bundle has webbed, which we have not talked about, (0:42:32) Codey: but it’s basically, it seems like it’s a platform (0:42:35) Codey: and you’re a jumping spider, which is super cute. (0:42:39) Codey: So there’s that, there’s Apico, there’s Buggin’s, (0:42:42) Codey: oh my God, sorry, there’s Buggin’s Seek (0:42:44) Codey: and this game Bugaboo Pocket, and they’re all for $38.22, (0:42:49) Codey: which is a steal given the fact that I think this game (0:42:53) Codey: and Apico are $40 on their own. (0:42:58) Aislinn: Yeah. And I think webbed has been, I realized webbed has been on my wishlist for a hot minute (0:42:59) Codey: So it is like a really good price. (0:43:09) Aislinn: because it looks so incredibly adorable. And then I’ve played AP, APico. Is that how it’s (0:43:14) Codey: Mm hmm. Yeah, so it’s a pico. Yeah. (0:43:14) Aislinn: actually pronounced? Because I’ve been saying APico and I’m like, I never thought that was (0:43:18) Aislinn: right. But I’ve played APico and there’s so much to do in that game. (0:43:28) Aislinn: The price of Bugaboo Pocket, yeah, for that bundle is really good. (0:43:34) Codey: Yeah, um, so yeah, I also really just want to shout out that their (0:43:39) Codey: developer and publisher, it’s the same, same group are called Elytra games. (0:43:45) Codey: Love it. (0:43:45) Codey: 10 out of 10, um, Elytra for people who don’t know are so Elytra are on (0:43:50) Aislinn: I was gonna be like me, I don’t get it. (0:43:55) Codey: Beatles instead of having four wings. (0:43:58) Codey: The front pair of wings have been like, are like kind of replaced by this (0:44:03) Codey: modified. (0:44:04) Codey: I think it’s a really important shell thing. If you imagine a ladybug, and it has those two pieces of shell, and then those kind of move to the side, and then there’s wings underneath of it, those things are called elytra. (0:44:19) Codey: Yeah, so it’s a bug thing. (0:44:19) Aislinn: Oh, that’s so cool to know the name of that all sick. Oh my god. Okay, so (0:44:26) Codey: There are, there’s also elytra in Minecraft, there are basically just, it’s like a (0:44:34) Codey: thing on your back that you wear that gives you the ability to like, not do powered flight, but you can like fall more gracefully. (0:44:45) Codey: Like you basically can glide. So, really loved that. (0:44:47) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:44:48) Aislinn: Oh, that’s so cool. (0:44:49) Aislinn: So more bug games moving forward from Elytra, hopefully. (0:44:55) Codey: I would hope so, yeah. Give me a call if you guys want some free, but it seems like they already know what they’re talking about so (0:45:04) Codey: they probably don’t need a consultant or whatever, but they do hit me up. I will, I will do it for free. (0:45:08) Aislinn: But hey, you know if they do you know who to call (0:45:16) Aislinn: You got a doctor on deck (0:45:20) Codey: So they say that it’s great for people who don’t love bugs yet, or for validating people who already do. (0:45:29) Codey: - What category were you in, Ace? (0:45:32) Aislinn: I love bugs, so I’m having a great time with this game. (0:45:36) Aislinn: I don’t know if I can agree with the great for people who don’t love bugs. (0:45:39) Aislinn: I know there are some options within the game to like, so you can at least like reveal the (0:45:43) Aislinn: species before it hatches or anything so you know what you’re getting into. (0:45:46) Codey: Mm hmm. I mean, I thought so there the species that you first start out with, or at least in (0:45:47) Aislinn: But like, I think it’s really cute. (0:45:49) Aislinn: But I don’t know for certain if like, you don’t like, for example, worms? (0:46:00) Codey: the demo was the rubber ducky ice pod. And I think that that’s great. Like, it’s super cute. (0:46:06) Codey: And they look like rubber duckies when they’re adults, and it’s just so cute. So I thought that (0:46:12) Codey: might be something that would be good for people who might not super be (0:46:16) Codey: into bugs. (0:46:18) Aislinn: I think just because one of the species like does start off basically looking like kind (0:46:22) Aislinn: of like a wax worm and I know for some people that freaks them out so I don’t know how people (0:46:25) Codey: - Yeah, that’s fair. (0:46:28) Aislinn: feel about that so like take that as you will but like if you are okay with at least looking (0:46:33) Aislinn: at bugs I think this game is still cute like they do a really good job of making the bugs (0:46:37) Aislinn: like extra cute so if you like are okay with bugs and you like bugs great game if you hate (0:46:43) Aislinn: bugs? I’m not sure. Hard to say. (0:46:44) Codey: Okay. (0:46:46) Codey: Um, and then I just love the story. (0:46:48) Aislinn: But I do agree with you with the isopods. (0:46:54) Codey: So if they say you play as a research scientist helping a forest recover after a devastating (0:46:59) Codey: fire, discover her story through cut scenes, diagram entries and items, complete your bug (0:47:03) Codey: compendium to unlock secrets and prizes. (0:47:06) Codey: So I screamed when I started playing and it’s basically like in the perspective of this (0:47:14) Codey: research entomologist, um, I think her name is Sylvia. (0:47:20) Codey: Um, cause she says like, when I was hired as an entomologist by the forestry solution, (0:47:24) Codey: which, which is like a company, the forestry solution, I was just like, this is my dream (0:47:30) Codey: job. (0:47:30) Aislinn: Awwww! [laughs] (0:47:31) Codey: Like I, I literally want to be a forest entomologist working on conservation and habitat restoration. (0:47:38) Codey: So this is like, like, oh my gosh. Uh, and then some other things that just popped out. (0:47:44) Codey: Right away. (0:47:46) Codey: Um, basically you’re breeding the insects to repopulate the area that was ruined by (0:47:51) Codey: the fire. (0:47:52) Codey: Um, and your friend is like dropping you off at this like remote cabin. (0:47:56) Codey: And he’s like, are you sure you want to stay here out here all alone? (0:47:59) Codey: And she’s like, yeah, also there’s no rent. (0:48:03) Codey: And I was like, bro. (0:48:08) Aislinn: Yeah, you know what, I got to stay out here all along, all alone with my bugs and no rent. (0:48:14) Codey: with no red excuse. This is not even a question my god. Oh, and (0:48:16) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:48:22) Codey: then the final thing was, he’s like trying to talk to her. And (0:48:26) Codey: then it just says, Sylvia is was too awkward to say anything. And (0:48:31) Codey: I was like, did they just make me like, are they following me? (0:48:36) Codey: Are they? So yeah, that was just like my from the demo. I was, I (0:48:41) Codey: was, I was really enjoying it. So that’s (0:48:43) Aislinn: Okay, so I will say, obviously, the journey of living out on your own and everything from (0:48:44) Codey: my stuff. (0:48:56) Aislinn: the perspective of Sylvia is developed as you continue to allot things in the game. (0:49:02) Aislinn: And the relationship with you and the person that like dropped you off and everything, (0:49:08) Aislinn: They… yeah, their name is EZ and… (0:49:09) Codey: Their name is EZ (0:49:13) Aislinn: that is indeed

These Mischievous Legends Are Shaping Modern Literature in Surprising Ways

Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast

We began this literary podcast episode by welcoming listeners into April with a playful nod to April Fool's Day. This theme paved the way for our new monthly focus: tricksters and fools in literature. Meaghan and Arthur introduced this concept by discussing how these characters appear in stories across the globe and throughout history.We explored how tricksters often challenge societal norms through cleverness, mischief, and rule-bending behavior. From mythical gods to fairytale creatures, these figures have captivated readers and listeners for centuries.The hosts announced that April's episodes would focus on examining tricksters through various cultural lenses, exploring their evolution from oral storytelling traditions to their presence in modern literature. We emphasized that tricksters are not a recent invention but rather a long-standing narrative archetype found in myths, legends, and folk tales around the world.These characters use their intelligence and cunning to manipulate situations, often with humorous or chaotic outcomes. We framed this theme as both fascinating and fun, promising a deeper dive into specific examples as the month progresses.Origins of the Trickster ArchetypeOnce we launched into the heart of the discussion, we clarified what defines a trickster. Tricksters are beings - sometimes gods, spirits, or animals - that defy expectations and operate outside the usual rules. They often disrupt the established order, using their intellect and creativity to challenge norms. These characters aren't always malicious; sometimes, they are simply playful or seek to illuminate hidden truths.We explored how tricksters are morally ambiguous and boundary-pushing, which can make them simultaneously entertaining and unsettling.We then turned to cultural interpretations of tricksters, beginning with First Nations folklore. Figures like Coyote and Raven are often humorous pranksters, but their stories also carry deeper spiritual or philosophical lessons. We discussed how laughter and humor are considered important in many Indigenous cultures, as they can cleanse the soul and precede prayer.The tales passed down orally were sometimes used to explain natural phenomena or convey moral teachings.From there, we moved into how these oral traditions transitioned into written stories. We noted that many of the myths and folktales that feature tricksters were eventually documented, preserving them for future generations. This shift allowed trickster characters to become part of broader literary traditions. Meaghan and Arthur reflected on how grateful we are that so many cultures made the effort to record these tales, preventing them from fading into obscurity.Tricksters Across Cultures and BooksThe next section of the conversation focused on specific trickster figures across various mythologies and how they've persisted or evolved.Loki from Norse mythology was our launching point. We highlighted his popularity - particularly due to Marvel's portrayal - and his complicated personality. Sometimes, Loki is a playful trickster; other times, he's more malicious. His ability to shapeshift and deceive is core to his character, and Arthur brought up The Gospel of Loki by Joanne Harris as a unique retelling from Loki's sarcastic perspective.Next, we examined Anansi, the spider trickster from African folklore. Anansi's confidence in his wit often becomes his downfall, demonstrating the moral lessons embedded in many of his tales. On the European front, we touched on the fair folk from Celtic mythology - small, mischievous beings who have evolved in modern media into something quite different, like the fae in fantasy novels.In Japanese mythology, we discussed the kitsune, fox spirits known for shapeshifting and disregarding societal rules. We also talked about trickster characters in North American folklore, including Brer Rabbit - a clever figure from African American traditions used to critique power structures through wit. Dionysus from Greek mythology and Hermes (or Mercury in Roman tales) were also identified as possessing trickster qualities through shapeshifting and manipulation.One particularly fun character mentioned was Stingy Jack from old All Hallows' Eve stories, said to have inspired the modern jack-o'-lantern. We highlighted how many of these characters, even those with niche or local origins, have had a lasting impact due to the universality of their themes and appeal.Why Tricksters Still Resonate In LiteratureIn the final section of our conversation, we considered why tricksters continue to appear in contemporary literature and media. Meaghan and Arthur pointed out that these characters allow writers to critique institutions, traditions, and authority figures without being overly direct. Historically, jesters were the only ones allowed to mock kings without consequence, and tricksters have inherited that role in fiction.We explored how trickster characters often serve as unreliable narrators, adding complexity and unpredictability to narratives. This perspective allows authors to disrupt traditional storytelling, injecting surprise and challenging the reader's assumptions. Characters like Loki, the Joker, and the Cheshire Cat exemplify this method, each adding an element of chaos or philosophical questioning to their stories.We agreed that people enjoy reading about characters who operate outside the norm - especially those who use cunning to succeed rather than brute strength. The enduring popularity of myths and fairy tales demonstrates our ongoing fascination with the fantastical and the morally gray.Meaghan made a point about how supernatural elements like magic provide narrative freedom, allowing authors to use tricksters in unexpected ways. Arthur added that even when tricksters aren't explicitly supernatural, their rebellious nature makes them compelling. In some cases, these characters start as tricksters and evolve into villains, depending on their motivations and how far they take their rule-breaking.Book Recommendations and Closing ThoughtsTo wrap up, we offered several book recommendations that feature trickster figures. These included:Rumpelstiltskin, the classic Grimm fairy tale with a dark deal and clever escape.Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream, who mischievously meddles with human affairs to comedic effect.Greengrass Running Water by Thomas King, which features the coyote trickster in a narrative that breaks the fourth wall.Trickster: Native American Tales, a graphic anthology that includes various trickster figures from multiple tribes.The Joker as a modern trickster-turned-villain archetype in comic books.Fool by Christopher Moore, a humorous retelling of King Lear from the fool's perspective.We wrapped up the episode by emphasizing that tricksters are present in stories from every culture. They challenge conventions, blur the line between right and wrong, and often act as mirrors to societal values. While we only scratched the surface in this introductory episode, we plan to dive deeper into unreliable narrators and modern-day tricksters in upcoming installments.

Investing: Getting the Big Moves Right with Mark Biller

They say you shouldn't sweat the small stuff, but that doesn't mean you can ignore the big stuff, either. When it comes to finances, and especially investing, it's important to get the big moves right. Mark Biller joins us today to go over the things that need special attention.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. Today, we'll cover some key takeaways from Sound Mind Investing's recent article, Getting the Big Moves Right, which explores seven critical investment decisions that can make or break your financial future.1. Have a Clear Investing PlanAs the old saying goes from the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, "If you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter which way you go." A successful investment strategy starts with a plan—one that outlines:Your target retirement dateThe amount you hope to have saved by that dateThe steps needed to achieve that goalWithout an investment plan, it's easy to drift or make hasty decisions based on emotions or short-term market fluctuations.2. Commit to Investing ConsistentlyOne of the most significant factors in successful investing is how much you invest each month. While everyone's situation differs, investing 10–15% of your monthly income during your working years is a general rule of thumb.Your age, retirement timeline, and savings goals will influence this percentage, but the key is to make investing a consistent habit—not something you do only when you have extra cash.3. Get Your Asset Allocation RightThere's no such thing as a “perfect portfolio” that always wins in the market. Instead of chasing returns, focus on the right mix of investments for your:Time horizon (how long you have until retirement)Risk tolerance (your ability to withstand market fluctuations)At SMI (Sound Mind Investing), their members start with a risk tolerance quiz to determine the best balance between stocks and bonds. A well-diversified portfolio ensures that when one part of the market struggles, another part can provide stability.4. Choose Investments WiselyMany investors fall into the trap of buying stocks or funds based on hype or following the latest market trend. Instead, focus on:Process-driven investment strategies that guide decisions based on long-term goalsDiversification across asset classes to minimize riskAvoiding emotional investing based on fear or excitementRather than constantly adjusting your portfolio based on short-term news, stick to a disciplined investment approach that aligns with your financial plan.5. Measure Success with the Right BenchmarkToo many investors compare their portfolios to popular stock indexes like the S&P 500, but this can be misleading.If your portfolio contains more than just large U.S. stocks, using the S&P 500 as your benchmark may lead to unrealistic expectations. Instead, measure success based on:Your personal financial goalsThe average return needed to achieve those goalsIn other words, success isn't about “beating the market”—it's about making steady progress toward your investment objectives.6. Limit How Often You Check Your InvestmentsOne of the biggest emotional traps investors fall into is checking their portfolios too frequently.Daily monitoring can lead to panic-driven decisionsOvertrading increases costs and reduces long-term gainsMarket fluctuations are expected, and checking too often can create unnecessary stressAt SMI (Sound Mind Investing), they recommend checking investments monthly—or even quarterly—to maintain a long-term perspective.7. Stay Committed for the Long HaulMany investors struggle with "grass-is-greener" syndrome, constantly switching:Investment strategiesFinancial advisorsIndividual stocks and fundsWhile there are appropriate times to make changes, they happen far less frequently than most investors think. Choose your investment strategy carefully, then stick with it—even when market conditions fluctuate.What to Let Go of for Investment SuccessOnce you've nailed the big investment moves, free yourself from these distractions:Daily Market News—Most headlines are designed to create fear or hype, not provide useful long-term advice. The “What-If” Game—Don't waste time thinking about missed opportunities—focus on future decisions. Portfolio Micro-Management—Diversification means some investments will perform better than others at different times. Stay patient and trust your strategy.Investing isn't about perfection—it's about faithfulness and consistency. Here's how to ensure long-term success:Create an investment planStick to your strategyCommit to steady investingMonitor progress with the right benchmarksLimit emotional reactions to market noiseThe key to financial freedom isn't found in chasing quick gains—it's in making faithful, long-term decisions that align with wise stewardship principles. Above all, trust God as your ultimate provider. Investing is a tool for wise financial stewardship, but our true security is in Him—not in our portfolio's performance.To dive deeper into today's discussion, check out the full article Getting the Big Moves Right at SoundMindInvesting.org.

My name is Al, (0:00:36) Kev: My name is Kevin, one of us is in the US, the other is not. (0:00:41) Al: and we’re here today to talk about Cottagecore Games! (0:00:45) Kev: Woohoo! Yes! (0:00:49) Al: I feel like we can’t start the episode without kind of referencing what has happened. We are recording on the 10th of November, five days after a certain election in America. (0:00:59) Al: I’m going to go ahead and close the poll. (0:01:01) Al: I don’t want… (0:01:01) Kev: I didn’t get my birthday wish, rather rude of them. (0:01:02) Al: Yeah, I learned that you have the same birthday as my younger son. (0:01:10) Al: Isn’t that weird? (0:01:10) Kev: yeah happy birthday Craig right that’s Craig yeah (0:01:13) Al: How’s it taking… (0:01:14) Al: How’s it taking… (0:01:15) Al: Yeah, Craig. (0:01:16) Al: How’s it taking six years for us to notice this? (0:01:17) Kev: ah I don’t know man like well I mean okay I try to keep mine on the down-low because I’m torn about it cuz you know obviously it’s nice for people to notice but I also feel like narcissists love you know coming out with the little air horn so I know I’m torn in minutes so I generally don’t bring (0:01:19) Al: Weird. (0:01:38) Al: I don’t think it’s narcissistic to have a birthday and celebrate it. (0:01:40) Kev: too much attention to it (0:01:45) Kev: you’re right no you’re absolutely right I’m I am aware I am the issue and I mean oh boy is it so I I was actually so okay I do therapy and I do it on Tuesdays which happened to be my birthday but I was sick that day so I didn’t do therapy either so you (0:01:53) Al: This feels like something to unpack in therapy, just a thought. (0:02:07) Al: Oh no, oh no, yeah, I was going to say this week’s going to have a lot to talk about. (0:02:10) Kev: know there’ll be plenty to unpack this this there this Tuesday Oh boy. (0:02:20) Al: So yeah, I don’t want this to become a politics podcast, we’re not going to spend time talking about the election and I seriously considered it, but we’ll see, we’ll see if you can convince me after this recording. (0:02:26) Kev: That’s what the green house is for! (0:02:37) Al: I thought it was important to at least, you know, reference it so that it’s not like - I always feel weird when there’s something major that happens and we don’t at least reference it because it feels like the entire podcast is just a place that doesn’t exist. So I kind of - I want the podcast to be escapism, so we’re not going to be like talking about it a lot, but I just wanted to mention and remind people that this is a safe place for you. We are inclusive of everyone that [chuckling] (0:03:07) Al: - The upcoming president is not inclusive of. (0:03:12) Al: Yeah, and if you are anti-LGBTQ (0:03:18) Al: or if you are anti any races, (0:03:23) Al: if you are a terrible person of that persuasion, (0:03:28) Al: I don’t care if you listen to the podcast, (0:03:31) Al: you can go away. (0:03:32) Al: Thank you very much. (0:03:33) Al: Only good people here. (0:03:37) Kev: - Okay, so I’ll sign off then. (0:03:39) Kev: Bye everyone. (0:03:41) Al: So that’s all I wanted to talk about. (0:03:44) Al: We’re now gonna go into the escapism and talk about other things, including this episode, (0:03:50) Al: we’re gonna talk about Living Room, (0:03:53) Al: which is an augmented reality game that I have been playing. (0:03:59) Al: And hopefully we can get a good discussion out of that (0:04:02) Kev: All right all right. (0:04:03) Al: because obviously no one else on the team has played it. (0:04:08) Kev: Yeah, well, I mean, OK, I’m jumping the gun here, but like AR games, I think are great, like are they are so much more feasible, plausible than, you know, true VR and I think there’s, there’s a lot you can do with it, so you know I’m down for that. (0:04:20) Al: I agree with that. (0:04:25) Kev: I am very much a proponent of AR, like VR will maybe get there one day, but it’s. (0:04:32) Kev: It’s going to be a minute still till, you know, we’re really, really there. There’s still a lot to figure out, but yeah, we’ll get there. (0:04:36) Al: Yeah definitely. Hopefully we’ll have some good chat about that later on. I think it’s our first AR game that we’re going to talk about so we’ll see about that. Before that obviously we have some news but first of all Kevin what have you been up to? (0:04:58) Kev: Alright, um, so I haven’t talked, it’s been a minute since I’ve been on here, um, you know, sorry Vincent, you know this, you, you heard on Triple R, but I’ve been playing Bellatro. (0:05:08) Kev: I bit the bullet, I’m in there deep. I have clear a run with every one of the base decks, I would call it, um, the, the color decks, if you will, um, there’s all sorts of other decks that unlock later, and you know, there’s difficulty, so there’s still plenty for me to do. (0:05:26) Kev: for me to do, but that just shows. (0:05:28) Kev: How much time I put in and how much I enjoy it, you know. (0:05:32) Al: I mean, to be fair, you completed a run on your first day playing, didn’t you? (0:05:38) Kev: But yeah I mean it is I I’ve said it before like. (0:05:44) Kev: You know for people who don’t know I tutor in math so I am so I’m an engineer so I’m something of a math guy so a name a game centered around numbers and probabilities and and of course strategy I love strategy games like Fire Emblem and such so you know all that is kind of in my wheelhouse so yeah I hit the ground running with that one. (0:06:04) Kev: Yeah, and there’s obviously a lot to unpack. There’s much more so than this. (0:06:08) Kev: There’s a lot to unpack. There’s much more to unpack. There’s much more so than this. (0:06:14) Kev: There’s much more to unpack. There’s much more so than this. (0:06:18) Kev: Other than that, Sonic Frontiers I have been… I am approaching the end of that game. (0:06:26) Kev: I’ve been going back and kind of… Not 100%ing, but at least… (0:06:31) Kev: So, in Sonic Frontiers you have much like, you know, Breath of the Wild or other open world games. (0:06:38) Kev: You unlock parts of the map, right? You find a quote-unquote “tower”. (0:06:42) Kev: In Sonic Frontiers it’s just like a little objective. And you unlock part of the map, make it visible and see. (0:06:48) Kev: Alright, so I’m going back and at least 100%ing the maps, right? (0:06:52) Kev: There’s a lot, so many different like challenges and stuff like that. I will not be 100%ing that game, actually. (0:07:00) Kev: But I’m going back through that and then I’ll be hitting… I’ll be finishing that up soon. (0:07:04) Kev: Um, still, I don’t know, I just, I really like that game, even just- (0:07:08) Kev: They’re running around and using the different grind rails and bumpers and stuff to just fly around, it’s very- (0:07:16) Kev: Almost zen for me, I enjoy it a lot. (0:07:18) Kev: Um, and of course, appropriately, they, uh, gosh, was it last year? I think it’s been a year already. (0:07:24) Kev: Um, they did the Sonic’s birthday update, where you can just deck out the whole island in birthday celebration stuff, so of course I switched that on this week. (0:07:33) Al: Oh yeah. Was that last, was that last (0:07:33) Kev: Um, I think so, it’s been a minute. (0:07:39) Kev: One feature that I don’t think I’ve talked about that, um, I think is a feature I want in every single game, (0:07:44) Kev: Uh, it has a jukebox system, where you can go around, you can find little soundtracks, and then you can just play them whenever you want. (0:07:54) Kev: Of course, certain things like certain battles and, uh, cutscenes or whatever will, you know, obviously won’t play whatever music you want, but- (0:08:00) Kev: I, like, if it’s a game I’m gonna be spending a lot of time in, I like to have different music available, and you know, (0:08:08) Kev: Play something that fits the mood, or just something I want at that moment. (0:08:12) Kev: Uh, Sonic the Hedgehog, of course, has a legacy of fantastic soundtracks, so there’s a lot of good stuff, but- (0:08:18) Kev: Um, just in general, like, I wish I had, uh, that feature was available in more games, looking at you, Pokemon, especially. (0:08:26) Kev: Um, you know, going through how many thousands of hours of Pokemon battles and having to listen to the same sound- song every time. (0:08:34) Kev: But yeah that’s that’s good stuff so prop 2. (0:08:38) Kev: And then aside from that, here’s my plug for Rainbow Road Radio, the Mario podcast I do their mutual friend Alex. (0:08:48) Kev: Next week we are doing an episode on Bowser’s Inside Story, the third Mario and Luigi game, which I have been playing. (0:08:56) Kev: And obviously you hear the full story on that episode, but boy that is a good game. (0:09:02) Kev: Of course as people might see from my handle Koopaprez, I am a big fan of Bowser. (0:09:08) Kev: And a game focused on him. Obviously I am biased, but I think they just did everything fantastic about Bowser. (0:09:16) Kev: Along with a lot of the usual polishes and benefits of the Mario and Luigi game. Like, you know, funny writing in the battle system and all that. (0:09:26) Kev: But yeah, so that’s like I said, tune in next week for more thoughts on that in depth. (0:09:34) Kev: But other than that, yeah I think that’s roughly what I’ve been up to. What about you Alex? (0:09:38) Al: Yeah, um, I have been also playing bilateral. (0:09:44) Al: Not as much as you. (0:09:46) Al: I’m done. (0:09:47) Al: I finished it. (0:09:48) Al: I completed a run. (0:09:49) Al: And that’s enough for me. (0:09:50) Kev: Okay, what deck did you use herself? (0:09:50) Al: A yellow, no, not yellow. (0:09:55) Kev: Okay, all right, you’ll (0:09:56) Al: The one, the one that gives you money, the one not yellow, not yellow. (0:09:59) Al: It was the one. (0:10:00) Al: I can’t remember which one it was, but it was the one that gives you money for the hands and discards you have left. (0:10:05) Kev: Okay that’s green I believe yellow give you like 10 bucks … (0:10:06) Al: Green, right. (0:10:09) Kev: green gives you like more per hand and discard stuff okay … (0:10:09) Al: It does. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It gives you, I find, I find that gives you lots of money really early on. (0:10:12) Kev: yeah that’s a good one obviously. (0:10:18) Kev: Oh gosh it is. (0:10:20) Kev: Alright good stuff good on you did you go past it or did you … (0:10:23) Kev: just like shut the app after you hit the clear screen. (0:10:26) Al: I kept going until I died but that was like one blind later. (0:10:30) Kev: Yeah it gets wild how much it’s scale after like they are brutal. (0:10:35) Kev: They say endless mode but no they want to end you fast. (0:10:39) Al: yeah yeah yeah um so yeah uh i’m sure we’ll talk more about that in the future but yeah I i (0:10:48) Al: I played it and i’m done (0:10:50) Kev: Free, free at last, free at last. (0:10:53) Al: um i’ve also been continuing on snap um the new season started um I did buy the season pass again because um I feel you don’t actually need a humongous amount of time into the game to get get this season pass done. (0:11:10) Al: So I feel like it’s worth it. (0:11:10) Kev: yeah no yeah it is right it’s wild to think like you know I’ve paid I think almost every single pass that’s ten bucks a month which you know when you tally it all up is sizable for a game like one single game maybe but because it’s broken up so far in only ten bucks a month like it doesn’t feel bad and I get my enjoyments (0:11:13) Al: And it’s a good amount of stuff you get. (0:11:38) Al: Well, and the advantages that you’re paying as long as you’re playing it, right? Like, (0:11:42) Kev: That’s true, that’s very true. (0:11:42) Al: as soon as you stop playing it, you no longer give them any money. So yeah, I’m enjoying that. (0:11:50) Al: I’m in the 70s again, struggling in the 70s last season. I think when I talked last episode, (0:11:52) Kev: God it it really is yeah (0:11:56) Al: when I talked last episode, I was almost 80. I ended up finishing at 93, I think so. (0:12:00) Kev: Uh-huh (0:12:04) Al: I’ve mentioned this to you, Kevin, but I don’t think I said on the podcast. (0:12:07) Al: I finally got up to 80. It took me four and a half weeks to get to 80, and then it took me exactly 18 hours to get to 90. (0:12:17) Kev: oh yeah that sounds correct I don’t know what it is I actually have a similar um I hit a certain a similar wall when i’m in the 70s I don’t know what it is it is a like I don’t know if that’s (0:12:17) Al: Which is just so stupid! (0:12:31) Kev: where the largest concentration of players are or you know ones who play regularly because it’s pretty easy to get up there but it’s it’s just so I don’t know what it is it’s hard to (0:12:45) Kev: like two steps back (0:12:47) Kev: we’re two steps forward and two steps back in the 70s, it’s wild (0:12:50) Al: Oh yeah yeah yeah constantly like I’m I’ve been playing you know a good half an hour to an hour every day since it’s since the season started and I’m at 73 so I’m literally exactly the same place as you are when you hit 70 so so yeah I don’t know hopefully I’ll get there eventually but yeah it’s it’s really funny I part of it is my own fault right like I’m snapping when I’m not convinced I’m going to win. (0:13:20) Al: But also, I just feel like in the 70s is when everybody has Shang-Chi, (0:13:25) Al: which is the killer for my deck, right? Like if they have a Shang-Chi, it’s killed. (0:13:31) Al: And no, I’m running the Black Panther symbiote. (0:13:36) Kev: right right right okay oh yeah that’s that’s rough well time to gosh and you you do the obviously you want to do the Arnim Zola strat so you can’t run Cosmo or or armor (0:13:40) Al: It’s, yeah. (0:13:46) Al: Yeah, no, it’s what I have, what I have been doing. (0:13:51) Al: I’ve not been leaning into it as much because it doesn’t give you as much power, (0:13:55) Al: but I’ve been doing a sentinel, sentinel symbiote and the advantage of that is they can’t Shang-Chi you (0:14:06) Al: and you get, because it gives you a 13, (0:14:10) Al: 13 power and then you, Arnim’s all of that and you get four of them, so you get two things of 26. (0:14:17) Kev: Nimrod, you mean Nimrod, I mean he is a sentinel, but yes, nerd talk over here, yes, yes, yes, oh god, Nimrod, yeah yeah yeah, it’s the one that, what is it, 2 cost 3 power, it sends 2 sentinels into the opponent’s hand, or no, sends, no, add, no, yeah, it adds 1 into your hand, mastermhold, yes, yes, that’s the one, yes, backwards, um, yeah (0:14:20) Al: Nimrod, not sentinel. Why did I think sentinel? Yeah, yeah, that’s probably where I got confused. (0:14:26) Al: That’s probably where I got confused. Yeah, Nimrod. Is there a card called sentinel? (0:14:40) Al: Yeah, no, no, it sends one into your hand. Master mold sends two into the opponent’s hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, Nimrod. Sorry. So you get 13 power, and then you quadruple that basically. So you get to two locations to get 26. It is good. It’s not as foolproof. Like if you get it off, you can still lose. Whereas if you manage to get the Black Panther symbiote one, you win almost 100. Yeah, you get almost 100%. (0:15:02) Kev: Yeah, ‘cause the numbers don’t get insane. (0:15:07) Al: Like there’s like maybe two, two cases. (0:15:10) Al: But yeah, so it’s it’s good. But yeah, I need to lean into that more, I think, because then obviously they can’t chung chi it and if they do, you just get more of it and then exactly, exactly. (0:15:11) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s. (0:15:24) Kev: - Yeah, it just benefits you, that’s great. (0:15:26) Al: But the the one thing they can do, which has killed me a couple of times, is cosmo it. And then it’s really annoying. (0:15:36) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yep always a threat that little Russian pupper (0:15:38) Al: really annoying. (0:15:40) Al: So yeah, they don’t interestingly very few people running armor so that doesn’t tend to be an issue but yeah. (0:15:50) Al: So anyway yeah, still in the 70s or back to the 70s I guess and we’ll see how that goes but yeah I’m still enjoying it enough to keep playing it every day but what I’ve added and this is weird because I normally don’t add to my daily games. (0:16:06) Al: This is not a thing that happens. (0:16:10) Al: I’ve been playing pokemon TCG pocket as well and initially I was just doing the card collecting part of it right. (0:16:19) Al: What I really like is you know going into it, opening up my packs and being done with it but for those who aren’t aware they’ve added a bunch of events that are battle focused and I have actually been kind of enjoying them. (0:16:34) Al: So there’s the solo battle event. (0:16:35) Al: This is what’s really good so they’re running three simultaneous events in the game. (0:16:40) Al: There is a wonder pick event which is just where you’re doing the wonder picks. (0:16:45) Al: Do you know what the wonder pick feature is in pocket? (0:16:46) Kev: No. (0:16:48) Al: No. (0:16:49) Al: So the idea behind this is the game shows you a number of packs that people, other people have opened. (0:16:57) Al: Some of you which are your friends, some of which are random people in the app and it shows you the five cards and you can pay a certain currency which like the packs regenerates it’s over time. (0:17:10) Al: And you so you use that and you get you get one of the cards in the pack picked at random. (0:17:17) Al: So it’s a nice way to get extra ones and you can focus on like oh that pack has two cards that I don’t have yet let me use that one and I’ve you know I might get one of them. It’s quite nice. (0:17:25) Al: So they’ve they’re running a wonder pick event where they had some promo cards that showed up in extra wonder picks. So there’s a chance the enemy house and you would get some that would be like one one of the cards and for (0:17:40) Al: items that are like shop items that allow you to unlock other things. And then sometimes you’d get one that was like four chances and one Meowth. Sometimes you get four Meowths and one chance or whatever. So you’re trying to get the promo cards and also get the other currency to then get other things as well, like accessories and stuff like that. So that was fun. But I mean, I got that done pretty quickly. I’ve got everything in that. That took a couple of days of doing very little, (0:18:07) Kev: Okay, okay (0:18:07) Al: but it was good fun to have an extra thing to do in the game. (0:18:10) Al: And then they’re running a solo battle event which is where there are solo battles in the game where you play against the AI against different decks and so it’s by default in the game I think there’s like I think it’s six different decks that you can do at different levels and do different challenges against them you can just beat them and then there’s like a challenge to to beat it without without the opponent getting a point stuff like that but they’re running a limited time one (0:18:40) Al: Lapras EX event and so you’re it’s the same sort of thing you’re you’re battling against it and trying to beat specific challenges and that was fun and I completed all that after maybe like three days or something that was yeah exactly really really fun and then they added a third event which is the PvP battle event and what I really like about this so in the last episode when I was talking to Johnny about this he was like I really hope they don’t do a ladder and we were we were talking about how I. (0:19:10) Al: think they’re probably going to do a different kind of of battle PVP challenge thing and this I feel like is probably it. (0:19:21) Al: Basically you get a trophy depending on how many wins you get. It’s not based on a win loss ratio. There’s no like climbing the ranks. It’s literally just if you get 45 wins you get this trophy. Which is really nice. I think it’s really fun. (0:19:34) Kev: Okay, okay. Yeah (0:19:37) Al: Like, 45 is obviously a lot of wins, but the… (0:19:40) Al: like three weeks long I think uh it’s the two yeah three weeks long (0:19:42) Kev: Okay, sure and these are these are short games they’re not your 20-minute standard (0:19:47) Al: yeah (0:19:49) Kev: PTCG. Okay. So yeah, that’s that’s within reason (0:19:50) Al: yeah technically technically there is like it’s each player has a timer and (0:19:58) Al: each timer is 20 minutes so theoretically it could take 40 minutes but i’ve never had a battle take longer than five so um so I feel like the timer is pretty pointless (0:20:03) Kev: Ah. (0:20:06) Kev: Okay. (0:20:07) Kev: Yeah. (0:20:10) Al: I think if they’re going to have the timer it needs to be a lot shorter than it is because it (0:20:14) Al: like honestly if you were taking that long someone would have just given up by that point it would not be fun at all so yeah no that’s that’s been really fun as well i’ve been doing i’ve been trying to do five wins a day so that I at least keep it going but I don’t feel you know completely fed up of it. (0:20:22) Kev: Hey, and that’s a strat, you know? (0:20:24) Kev: Just… just let the timer run! (0:20:27) Kev: Yeah (0:20:40) Al: And it means I can still do some snap as well. So that’s been really fun. I’m really liking it. I hope this sort of stuff continues having the different events and having a collection event and a solo battle event and a pvp battle event all running at the same time means that people who want to do everything have a lot they can do and those who are just focused on one thing still have an event right so just just running a battle event means that people who don’t want to battle only just want to collect, we’d have nothing to do. So I think this is a really fun… (0:21:02) Kev: Yeah (0:21:08) Kev: Yeah (0:21:11) Kev: Yeah, I I get yeah that seems like a good idea because obviously we have (0:21:17) Kev: It is very (0:21:20) Kev: Collection focused clearly, but (0:21:23) Kev: You know the game itself is still a big factor. So yeah, that makes sense to have different (0:21:29) Kev: Events going on for the different sides of it. That’s cool (0:21:32) Al: Yeah, it’s good fun (0:21:33) Kev: um yeah, I I (0:21:36) Kev: still have not felt the siren call of pocket like I (0:21:42) Kev: I’ve been trying to think why that is because it’s not like there’s anything I have against it per se. It seems fine (0:21:49) Kev: It’s probably because I like the base or you know the standard version and it’s not like I mean part like the time thing I’m sure pocket that’s very enjoyable But I don’t know like if I want to play it (0:22:02) Kev: the card game I’ll probably just fire up live and play the actual card game like I don’t know how else to describe it it’s just not call it to me like and you know like you’re saying right pocket well actually I mean live is the same way but I have a lot on my plate already with my dailies and whatnot I can’t afford in there I don’t want another one all right now (0:22:22) Al: I think I’m not gonna I’m not gonna try and convince you to do it but what I would say is that just opening the the game for five minutes to do your cards is super easy and super satisfying especially at the beginning like you get cards really quickly to start with and that in and of itself is fun I think and yeah so (0:22:46) Kev: Might you know, maybe I’ll do it just to see what on earth it’s the it feels like we’ll see but (0:22:54) Al: Yeah, well think about it when you unlock a new variant in in Marvel Snap, that’s really fun (0:23:00) Al: Just imagine doing that but it’s a pack of five every day (0:23:00) Kev: yeah yeah yeah I get that you know like yeah yeah that’s that’s good um we’ll see they might add something later that because you have those immersive cards that is cool I do kind of want to see those you know they’ll part maybe they’ll lean (0:23:04) Al: Or two packs of five every day (0:23:25) Al: Yeah, fun times. Well, that’s what we’ve been up to. We’re going to talk about some news. (0:23:32) Al: It’s a good thing that what we’ve been up to is so long because there’s not a lot of news. But the news that we do have is chunky. So first of all, we have Disney Dreamlight Valley have they had a new, what do they call it? Are they calling it showcase I think about upcoming stuff first of all the (0:23:55) Al: yeah I think I think they’re calling it showcase let me double check what they call it I thought it would be quick and easy to figure out what it was called yes showcase they’re calling it the dreamlight valley showcase so this has two things first of all is the uh free update uh they are continuing to do these free updates uh the new one comes out on the 4th of december and that includes sally from the nightmare before christmas which was very clearly hinted that uh a while ago once we figured out. (0:24:22) Kev: Right. (0:24:25) Al: What we were looking at. (0:24:28) Al: But also they have a new feature of floating islands which allows you to expand your valley. (0:24:33) Al: It says large areas accessible through the fast travel menu once they’ve been unlocked with Dreamlight. So this obviously people have been asking for a way to expand the valley quite for quite a while because it gets quite quite yeah. (0:24:45) Kev: Yeah, that seems inevitable with you know them keep adding more then Disney has a lot to add. So yeah (0:24:52) Al: yeah. (0:24:56) Al: » Yeah, yeah, so they decided to go with their floating islands. (0:25:00) Al: So you can unlock them and then fast travel to them. (0:25:04) Al: And it seems like a fun way to be able to add more space while not just making it feel like the village is like smooshed together. (0:25:15) Al: So these obviously will feel a little bit tacked on in so much as it’s just like, here is this biome, but now in the sky as well. (0:25:23) Al: Um, but, but I. (0:25:25) Al: I feel like it’s hard to, like, shove it into the existing map, so it feels like an acceptable kind of compromise there. (0:25:40) Al: They also announced their new expansion pass called The Storybook Vale, so as expected this is a new purchase, the previous expansion pass is done. (0:25:52) Al: This is a brand new expansion pass of two parts. (0:25:56) Al: The first part comes out on the 20th of November and introduces Merida from Brave, Flynn Rider from Tangled, and Hades from Hercules, obviously. (0:26:09) Kev: And that’s a real eclectic, you know, group. (0:26:10) Al: Yeah, so I’m just going to read some of their own wording for this description because I feel like there’s a lot to not quite, not quite to note. (0:26:28) Al: It’s a bit, I’m going to read. (0:26:32) Al: “Bewist our way to the Vale and embark on an enchanting adventure with a cast of new new characters, including the Lorekeeper, a magical boo- (0:26:40) Al: like holding this fantastical land together. However, a happily ever after is a ways off as you discover the discordance between two iconic Disney villains, Maleficent from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and Hades from Disney’s Hercules, has torn this land apart, causing a mysterious phenomenon across the Vale’s three biomes, The Bind, Ever After and Mythopia. Their conflict has yielded ink seeping out of the very ground and sent the pages of the Lorekeeper near (0:27:11) Al: as enchanted page pieces called snippets. So I think the idea is that it’s a book full of stories that has burst open and you have to go find it to put it back together. And it says you’ll gain the advantage of a new tool, the Royal Net, that will enable you to capture the various snippets that have escaped the Lorekeeper’s pages. So presumably you’re getting story as you collect the page pieces, I’m assuming. (0:27:40) Kev: okay that um huh that this is interesting um yeah and like lore keeper is a very (0:27:48) Kev: maybe not ominous sounding name but uh you know it’s it sounds significant let’s say that right um so i’m curious to see you know what they’re uh how far they’re gonna lean into that what what is the lore keeper gonna look like or who’s it going to be I don’t know um is it gonna be oh it’s a book sorry oh I’m (0:27:53) Al: Hmm. (0:28:06) Al: Well it says it’s a book. A magical book. (0:28:10) Kev: Oh, it’s just a book okay, huh? (0:28:13) Kev: uh (0:28:14) Al: But the pages seem to be, if you have a look on the link, the first link, the pages seem to be like origami creatures? (0:28:23) Kev: Oh, I see all those are actually cute. I like those. Those are nice designs. Oh, that’s cute (0:28:29) Kev: Huh, okay (0:28:30) Al: So you’ve got like a little green, green and yellow bird, and a little blue, well purple and purple fox, I guess? (0:28:33) Kev: Yeah (0:28:38) Kev: Yeah, fox dragon thing, I don’t know it’s a (0:28:39) Al: Something like that? (0:28:41) Kev: I Like looks like a dragon, you know, you don’t see the mouth like then it’s thick and I don’t know It’s looks dragon eat him. It’s you know, it’s the color and the it could it kind of looks (0:28:42) Al: Dragon? What? (0:28:53) Kev: Scales the texture of the page. That’s what it is. I see it now Um (0:28:56) Al: I see what you mean about this, yeah. And there’s a little kind of purple frog with a flower growing out the top of it. (0:29:03) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I see that. Okay. See I didn’t look at these pictures at all. But yeah when you said snippets I thought it was like actually just pages. Okay, that’s much more interesting. Okay, that’s cute. I like that that. Um, huh. (0:29:15) Al: so yeah I guess we’ll see this that’s most of the information we have they’ve announced that the part two of this expansion pass will come out in summer 2025 and that’s the one that will introduce (0:29:27) Al: Maleficent and they’ve also announced their upcoming free content roadmap in early 2025 right this is where we try and figure out what these are is that what’s the what’s the the one the princess and the frog oh no no no no I tell you what it is (0:29:42) Kev: No, that’s Aladdin. That’s Aladdin’s hat and Jasmine. (0:29:45) Al: that’s I was just about to say that’s Aladdin and what’s her name isn’t it (0:29:49) Al: um Jasmine yeah yeah I just I thought it looked like um the princess and the frogs Tiana is that her name I had that in my head but I didn’t want to say it uh I thought that looked like her tiara but no you’re right that’s the wrong color of green and different shape yeah you’re right it’s I saw the fez I saw the fez and was like wait no that’s Aladdin isn’t it (0:29:50) Kev: Tiana. (0:30:05) Kev: no that’s it says explore a new world so that that’s what the yeah yeah yeah yep yep who could that be yeah (0:30:14) Al: So Ali2025. (0:30:15) Al: Explore a new world and revel on a magical adventure. Obviously Aladdin. Spring 2025 we’ve got the Cheshire Cat in his in a ghosty form. Step into a land of wonder and meet new friends along the way. Yeah that’s the most obvious one right? And summer 2025. Solve an ancient mystery and discover who’s waiting inside Skull Rock. And we have an orange feather and wait oh is that the shadow of (0:30:42) Kev: Uh, let’s… (0:30:45) Al: Is that gargoyle? (0:30:46) Kev: Oh, it looks like a winged creature of some sort. (0:30:50) Kev: I’m very confused. Isn’t Skull Rock supposed to be like, Peter Pan? (0:30:53) Al: Yeah, but they mix these things up quite a lot. (0:30:55) Kev: Yeah… I-I don’t- I’m… (0:30:57) Al: Like the Cheshire Cat isn’t in a forest, for example, you know, like, so yeah, they like to mix these things up. (0:31:00) Kev: Sure. (0:31:03) Kev: Wha- I mean- (0:31:04) Kev: Uh… huh. (0:31:07) Kev: Oh, solvent- it’s an ancient mystery! (0:31:12) Kev: It has orange feather, I-I don’t have to- (0:31:15) Kev: Uh, I’m at a loss here, some sort of… (0:31:17) Kev: …winged creature? I have no idea, I’m at a lost home. (0:31:20) Al: go have a look on the disney dreamlight valley reddit because that’s where I found the sally (0:31:24) Kev: What are- what are the conspiracy theorists saying? (0:31:27) Kev: Heh heh! (0:31:28) Kev: You know, I- just- just as an aside, when are they gonna bring in Cherubog? (0:31:31) Kev: When are you gonna help Cherubog out? (0:31:33) Kev: Heh heh heh heh! (0:31:34) Al: You’re gonna have to tell me what that is, I don’t know. (0:31:36) Kev: Oh, you don’t know Cherubog? (0:31:38) Kev: Okay, do you know Fantasia? (0:31:39) Al: No? Uh, yes. (0:31:41) Kev: OK, Cherubov– (0:31:42) Kev: –is the big winged demon guy in that segment. (0:31:46) Kev: You know, like, I think it’s the final segment, yeah. (0:31:48) Kev: He’s the– one of the spookiest guys. (0:31:52) Kev: He’s basically just like a demon guy. (0:31:56) Al: Fair enough (0:31:58) Al: Right. I’m just scrolling through. I’m not I can’t find anything about (0:32:03) Al: I’ve obviously come to the Reddit too late to see people to see the (0:32:08) Kev: I’ll be doing detective work in the background if you want. (0:32:09) Al: The (0:32:15) Al: Give me give me one minute before I give up. Yeah, there are too many people on this subreddit (0:32:22) Kev: Ancient mystery. (0:32:24) Kev: What are– it’s not going to be dinosaur. (0:32:26) Kev: It’s not going to be 20-whatever, 2,000-whatever dinosaur. (0:32:30) Kev: It’s not Aladon. (0:32:30) Al: No, no. (0:32:33) Al: So what I’m thinking, and I have no idea about the feather, but the shadow looks like a winged gargoyle, I think. (0:32:40) Al: And so I wonder if it could be something to do with Quasimodo. (0:32:44) Kev: Guessing or ah (0:32:45) Al: But I don’t know. (0:32:46) Al: That is just a wild guess. (0:32:47) Kev: Here’s the twist it’s live-action (0:32:49) Kev: Maleficent oh (0:32:51) Kev: You know I don’t know I’m not comfortable with how well that would work out actually (0:32:57) Kev: Yeah, because she has the wings in the movies, and I don’t know if you saw the second one But she’s basically becomes a Phoenix, so there’s your orange bed. Oh, no. It’s it’s Angelina Jolie (0:33:14) Al: yeah none of them have well actually does captain hook have a feather in his cap (0:33:18) Kev: He does, yeah no it’s a huge feather, yeah no this is like a little bird feather. (0:33:20) Al: could it be that then no it’s the wrong kind of feather it’s not big enough yeah (0:33:26) Al: I thought that before I actually have my aphantasia means I can’t see in my head (0:33:27) Kev: OH! (0:33:28) Kev: There it is, Peter Pan has an orange feather in his hat, it’s Peter, yeah he does, I just (0:33:32) Al: oh does he (0:33:36) Al: so he does people are probably screaming that at us uh all right cool so what’s the the winged creature then. (0:33:44) Kev: It might just be us looking at it and just multiple shadows next to each other maybe. (0:33:44) Al: Could it be no could it could it be Tinkerbell doing a silly thing like she loved she liked to make weird shadows didn’t she at one point. (0:34:06) Kev: But it’s definitely okay. So yeah, it’s peter pan. I was right the first time cuz gold rock is from pipe (0:34:12) Al: - Yeah, okay, I just like, just because that’s. (0:34:14) Al: The trauma originally doesn’t mean it would be the case still, but anyway. (0:34:19) Al: The final thing to talk about with Disney’s Dreamland Valley is they’ve also announced new editions and early adopter bonuses. (0:34:27) Al: Because they don’t have enough versions of this game, so you still have the base, you can just buy the base game. (0:34:37) Al: That is still a thing you can do. You can buy the enchanted edition which already I think existed and that gives you (0:34:45) Al: both A Rift in Time, the first expansion, and the Storybook Vale, so presumably. (0:34:51) Al: If they do other expansions, that will also give you that. (0:34:54) Al: You can also buy individually just A Rift in Time or just the Storybook Vale. (0:35:00) Al: Obviously you have to have the base game for them. (0:35:03) Al: You can now also buy the Storybook Vale bundle, which is just the base game and the Storybook Vale, but not A Rift in Time. (0:35:07) Kev: Heh! (0:35:11) Kev: Oh my goodness! (0:35:16) Al: Or you can buy, if you already have the base game, you can buy the Storybook Vale Magical Edition, (0:35:23) Al: which gives you the new expansion and basically the pre-order bonuses. (0:35:31) Al: It calls it early adopter bonuses, but it’s basically a pre-order bonus, right? (0:35:34) Al: It’s like, because you got it early, I presume that will only be available for a limited period of time. (0:35:39) Al: You get those if you also bought the Enchanted Edition, you get the early adopter bonuses. (0:35:44) Al: They also have bonuses as well, which are an Autumn Manor house style, a dress and ensemble, (0:35:52) Al: a baby pegasus companion and a Greek Hercules inspired house for baby pegasus, I presume that is. (0:36:05) Al: And more moonstones. (0:36:10) Kev: it was great until I scrolled down to this they are oh just confusing me just overwhelmingly (0:36:18) Kev: with um it’s a it’s a bold strategy a masterful gambit i’ll tell them that make money (0:36:24) Al: It’s wild, the number of different ways you can give them money. (0:36:32) Kev: Heh heh heh. (0:36:34) Al: I have to say though, the enchanted edition is looking a better and better deal as they add more stuff because that is $80 and the base game is $40 and then each expansion is $30 so if you were to buy them all individually, if you were to buy them all, yeah yeah. (0:36:48) Kev: Geez Louise, it’s… (0:36:54) Al: If you were to buy them all individually that would be $100 so you’re getting $20 off but you also get 18,000 moonstones and a bunch of pre-order stuff and presumably if they do any more expansions you’ll get them as well because I don’t think they’re going to stop. (0:37:12) Kev: Yeah no of course not. (0:37:15) Kev: We don’t have Pixar in here yet right no yeah we do what am I doing crazy yes we have Wally. (0:37:18) Al: yeah yeah yeah yeah and brave because merida’s merida’s there now (0:37:20) Kev: We don’t have a lot of Pixar though. (0:37:24) Kev: Oh yeah yeah I’m just thinking when do we get the radiator Springs when you get the cars universe. (0:37:26) Al: um there’s there’s a bunch of stuff I think (0:37:33) Al: let’s have a look at the characters list and see who’s in there (0:37:36) Kev: You know just as an aside like every time they add. (0:37:42) Kev: the Nightmare Before Christmas like of course they do because it’s double holiday themed it’s so obvious but it Nightmare Before Christmas always feels like the red-headed stepchild of Disney because you know it’s it’s him Burton and it’s uh not a you know 2d or 3d animated or whatever I did so like they don’t they don’t really touch it aside from marketing or just selling things but you know I’ve never gotten a sequel a spin-off or whatever (0:37:54) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah agreed (0:38:12) Kev: I always find it fascinating how the kind of dance around (0:38:19) Al: Yeah, yeah it’s quite funny. So as you said you’ve got Wally and Eve, you have Remy from Ratatouille. (0:38:29) Al: Anything else we’ve got? Frozen’s just Disney isn’t it, it’s not Pixar. (0:38:36) Kev: Yeah, it’s just Disney. (0:38:37) Al: Toy Story, Buzz and Woody are in it. They are. And Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc as well. (0:38:40) Kev: Oh, are they in it? I couldn’t remember. Oh, okay. Cool. (0:38:43) Kev: Alright, Buzz and Woody in it. We’re good, ‘cause they’re, you know, books. (0:38:47) Kev: Oh, they’re in it. Gosh, I have not been paying attention, clearly. (0:38:49) Al: So it’s a pretty decent number of Pixar stuff. (0:38:50) Kev: You know… (0:38:51) Kev: Alright, yeah, no, those are heavy hitters. Yeah, that’s fine. (0:38:56) Kev: Um… (0:38:58) Kev: You know what? Here’s the real question, right? Like, this is… (0:39:01) Kev: This is a very, um… (0:39:04) Kev: substantial amount of Disney. (0:39:06) Kev: When do we get to the stinkers? (0:39:10) Kev: When are they going to put in Home on the Range and Chicken Little and Bolt? (0:39:18) Kev: When are we going to get those? (0:39:20) Al: they have a lot of characters to go through before they get there (0:39:22) Kev: I know, but I want to see them do it. (0:39:25) Al: because like as we just as we just mentioned they’ve still got like a majority of the Pixar films even right [laughing] (0:39:30) Kev: Oh, I know, but they’re cowards. (0:39:34) Kev: I wanna see them do it, I wanna see them lean (0:39:36) Kev: into it. They won’t, but… (0:39:38) Al: I don’t know, maybe sometime, but I suspect they’ll just stop the game by the time they get to that point, right? (0:39:46) Al: Alrighty, the next is Stardew Valley So, the never ending game is continuing to be never ending First of all… (0:39:55) Kev: as announced this week by ConcernedApe. (0:40:00) Al: Yeah well, we’ll get to that, that’s on my list to talk about start off with 1.6 is out on console on mobile so if you’ve been waiting for the (0:40:08) Al: switch version which let’s be honest if you were waiting it was probably for the switch version I guess maybe there are some people who play on mobile and are listening but I suspect most of you are waiting for the switch version it’s out now go get it but they’ve also with that added a 1.6.9 patch which has been added to steam and was on all the console and mobile versions as well it doesn’t it does have a bunch of fixes but it also has some features balance changes and (0:40:39) Al: quality of life improvements so first of all there is a lost unique item shop so if you manage to lose one of the items that are just like a special one-off thing you can go and buy it back from the shop in the secret (0:40:58) Al: Next we have you can finally put legendary fish in the ponds and get roe from them. (0:41:02) Kev: Finally! (0:41:04) Al: Finally, you’re limited to one fish per pond, but there you go, if you wanted to do that. (0:41:12) Al: A huge improvement, you can now put beds and sleep in those beds inside any constructed building that allows you to put furniture in. (0:41:22) Kev: Alright, alright, alright (0:41:22) Al: So, go sleep in your shed. (0:41:26) Kev: Finally dreams now that you get in a fight with your spouse you can us (0:41:28) Al: And the real feature though is the items dropped into water will float in the water for a short period of time so that you can pick them up. (0:41:44) Al: The number of times I have like cut a tree down in the wrong direction and lost half the wood because it just goes into the water. (0:41:52) Al: Whereas now it’s just going to suck back up. Love it. (0:41:54) Kev: All right, all right and dig it (0:41:58) Al: There’s a lot of other small things which I don’t think we need to go into. (0:42:04) Al: But I will link the changelog in the show notes if you want to go and have a look. (0:42:10) Al: So, yeah, I just read one which is Clint now refills your watering can when upgrading it, which is such a weirdly tiny feature to give. (0:42:12) Kev: Those are I like those those are all thoughtful (0:42:24) Al: Um, but yeah, that’s funny. (0:42:26) Kev: I said thoughtful (0:42:28) Al: Yeah, but this is the thing, it doesn’t really fit with Clint, right? (0:42:32) Al: Like, why would Clint do that? (0:42:32) Kev: Well, oh, you know what you’re right you’re right (0:42:34) Al: Don’t make me like him. (0:42:36) Kev: Okay, no, no. No, he does that but if you pursue Emily he stops doing it [Laughter] (0:42:42) Al: And as Kevin hinted at, we got another interview from Concerned Ape and this is in Nintendo Life. (0:42:56) Al: He says that he basically just can’t stop working on it. He says “I feel like I could work on it for the rest of my life. I don’t want to see it fizzle out.” So confirmation, as we expected, (0:43:07) Al: that we’re probably going to get Stardew Valley updates until he dies. (0:43:12) Kev: Okay, I’m… I don’t… I have thoughts on this because, like, this really feels like, uh, how should I put this, almost concerning, um, just like, obviously, it makes a lot of sense, just from a pragmatic standpoint, right, because he’s making money off of it, and he’s done all the work on it, um, so, you know, I get it in that sense, (0:43:43) Kev: but, like, clearly, I’m projecting here a little, like, how much of this is also just him, um, you know, not able to get away from it, sort of a prison of his own mind, if you will, um… (0:43:57) Al: I do think that’s a lot of it, so he says the exact wording is “I have so many ideas for Stardew, I feel like I could work on it for the rest of my life and just keep improving it, adding more stuff to it, more content, fleshing out the existing content”. (0:44:10) Al: That’s the main thing I want to do is flesh out the existing content. (0:44:13) Al: So like I don’t, I wouldn’t feel bad for him. (0:44:19) Al: Like in a way I think it is kind of his brain not letting him let it go but also he will probably never make some (0:44:24) Kev: - Right. (0:44:24) Kev: you Bye. (0:44:27) Al: If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send them to me in the comments below. (0:44:38) Kev: Sure, oh, yeah, of course not. Yeah. No, it’s impossible possible. (0:44:42) Al: And he just like I don’t I think it’s I totally understand when you do something that millions of people enjoy and you’re a good person and you want to give people stuff right like he’s not (0:44:57) Al: he’s not doing this he’s not doing like obviously he’s going to still continue to sell it when he makes updates but realistically he’s not making the money he could be making on that but he knows that he’s made enough money and therefore could continue to do this for the rest of his life and not worry about the money like that must feel really freeing in a way (0:45:18) Kev: Sure there is a gosh I guess you’re right right like I guess as long as he happy it’s fine right the one that really concerns me the quote or the is how he says. (0:45:35) Kev: He doesn’t want to see it fizzle out right like cause that’s that’s that no longer feels like he wants to just keep keep keep it growing he’s just worried. (0:45:48) Kev: He’s not worried about the impermanence or what like whatever it like he wants it to stay relevant that part feels a little concerning. (0:45:57) Al: I mean, we’re reading into this now, but I don’t think he means as in I want to keep selling forever. (0:45:57) Kev: Yeah. (0:46:04) Al: I think it’s more just like it’s just something that he loves so much that he wants to keep it new and fresh all the time. (0:46:12) Kev: I guess like I again like it’s a we’re reading into it this is a lot of deep psychological stuff under the surface like when I hear someone say that I think like they’re just worried about. (0:46:29) Kev: Because I think this would be fair to call it his master work right like his masterpiece you know just you know wanting to that to matter like I can see some people caring about. (0:46:42) Kev: That yeah I don’t know it’s it’s a lot to unpack like I guess the important thing is as long as he’s genuinely happy right like if he’s not doing this out of some sort of stress like. (0:46:54) Kev: That he’s it’s not going to be relevant anymore that’s that’s the main thing but but at the very least he’ll be making money out of it. (0:47:07) Al: yeah yeah exactly um but I mean I think when he announced that 1.5 would be the last update I was like no way will this be the last update and then he announced 1.6 with the last update and I was like I don’t think so uh so you know I i you know I think will we in 10 years still be getting updates maybe not are we gonna get a 1.7 I suspect we’ll get a 1.7 um and remember The one the 1.6 update was meant to be a smaller (0:47:17) Kev: Haha, yep, very true very true (0:47:33) Kev: You know what? (0:47:38) Al: It was not a small update. (0:47:41) Kev: Oh gosh, you know what? There’s also… (0:47:45) Kev: Looking at it from the other side, like, I’m not saying fans are (0:47:49) Kev: Asking for more from from Stardew or from Concerned Ape, but they’re always willing to consume more, right? Like, (0:47:58) Kev: There’s something in this day and in the modern day and age about just the never-ending (0:48:03) Kev: Quote-unquote franchise or game or whatever right like in 10 years. We’re gonna have new Pokemon coming out. I promise you that [laughing] (0:48:12) Al: However, I think there is a huge difference. (0:48:15) Al: I suspect you’ll agree with me on this. (0:48:18) Al: I think there’s a huge difference between that and this though, because the franchise of Pokemon or the franchise of Marvel, yes, there are people in there that they love what it is and they want to create more just for the sake of making more, but the franchise exists because it makes money. (0:48:34) Al: And I still strongly don’t think that he makes updates to make money. (0:48:40) Al: makes updates because he has (0:48:42) Al: these ideas and he can’t get them out of his head and he just wants to put them in the game. (0:48:46) Kev: Yeah, okay, you know what that’s fair. Yeah, I’ll agree with that. Yeah (0:48:53) Al: and I don’t think stardew could keep going could keep being the center of conversation year after year if the updates weren’t good like if he released a bad update people would like sure they would keep playing the game and they’d try the new update but I don’t think we would have got as much talk about 1.6 as we did this year it would not have been as big a conversation (0:49:16) Kev: Yeah, you know what? You’re right about that. I can’t argue it at all. (0:49:22) Al: All right well our last piece of news is a new game that has just come out apparently was a month ago I thought it was last week but no it’s a month ago that was updated last week that’s why I thought it was new but this is a game called web fishing sorry it’s in all caps web fishing a multiplayer chat room focused fishing game relax and fish on the web. (0:49:40) Kev: That’s good, I like it. (0:49:49) Kev: What that’s okay, that’s quite a pitch (0:49:53) Kev: multi the multiplayer is what what throws me off here like (0:49:57) Kev: Just hanging out and fish (0:50:00) Al: “Web fishing is a multiplayer online casual fishing game where you relax, hang out, make friends, and catch fish.” (0:50:07) Al: “Nearly a hundred different creatures to catch.” (0:50:09) Al: “Become the ultimate fisherman. Upgrade your gear with new baits, lures.” (0:50:13) Al: So there’s obviously a good amount of customization. (0:50:15) Al: It looks very… the character models look very Animal Crossing-esque. (0:50:20) Kev: Yup, yup. I see what you mean here. (0:50:22) Al: For some reason there’s a guitar minigame. (0:50:25) Kev: Classic fishing. (0:50:27) Al: This looks interesting. (0:50:30) Al: It’s pretty cheap. It’s like four quid, I presume. Is it five dollars? (0:50:34) Kev: Yeah that’s what an interesting idea like who comes up with this that’s what I want to think of but but they are so Animal Crossing just looking at it now like it’s the shape. (0:50:57) Kev: Oh yeah it is yeah five USD yeah you’re right. (0:50:59) Al: It’s a very low poly (0:51:02) Kev: Like think I’d say Wild World maybe on the DS level of animal crossing. (0:51:09) Kev: That’s how many polygons you can see on that head. (0:51:10) Al: it kind of yeah it kind of reminds me of someone drawing in paint and posting on tumblr (0:51:18) Kev: You know what? It does have a very Tumblr vibe to it, I will say that, absolutely. (0:51:22) Al: do you not think (0:51:29) Kev: One sec. Sorry, one sec, Al. My thing’s dying, hold on. (0:51:33) Kev: Okay, there we are. Um, okay, look, as, you know, as connoisseurs of, uh, fishing games, (0:51:41) Kev: um, I do, like, is it just, it’s probably just gonna be Animal Crossing style fishing, isn’t it? (0:51:47) Kev: it would be nice if they put… (0:51:48) Kev: a little effort into the fishing game. (0:51:50) Kev: Um, but uh, we’ll see. For five bucks, it might be worth it, I guess? (0:51:56) Kev: I don’t know, like, um… (0:51:58) Kev: Is this just a game that’s just the fishing part of Animal Crossing? (0:52:02) Kev: Maybe? (0:52:04) Kev: Is that enough? (0:52:05) Al: Bought multiplayer. (0:52:06) Kev: Oh god, I already, there’s an Among Us in the trailer, oh my goodness. (0:52:12) Kev: Um, oh, uh… (0:52:15) Kev: Multiplayer chatting, I don’t know, okay. (0:52:19) Kev: This really feels like somebody said, “Man, I have so much fun fishing with my friends in Animal Crossing.” (0:52:25) Kev: I’m just gonna make a whole game about that, which is okay, okay. (0:52:28) Al: Yeah (0:52:29) Kev: You know, Sonic Frontiers has great fi- (0:52:32) Al: Moving on so that’s all the news (0:52:35) Al: We’re gonna talk about (0:52:37) Al: Living room, so I’ll pitch this game. I’ll explain to you what it is

https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2035/a-missing-ingredient/ From September 10, 2020. The Universe is full of unanswered questions. And more than a few unquestioned answers! One of the biggest questions astronomers are trying to answer is what is the Universe made of? OK, sure, we know about protons, neutrons & electrons already.   But astronomers also know that the Universe is full of dark matter, but we still don't fully understand it…Dark matter is a mysterious and peculiar material that got its name because it doesn't give off any light - it's totally invisible at wavelengths our eyes can see.    Dark matter remains as elusive as Alice in Wonderland's Cheshire Cat. You can only see its grin (in the form of gravity) but not the animal itself. Yet, astronomers think there's 5 times as much of this strange material in the Universe as there is normal matter that we can see.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

What Are We Doing!?

Hey there, Levi here, your trusty guide through the absurd, and boy, do we have a doozy for you today. On episode 147 of the What Are We Doing Podcast, we dove headfirst into the CNN Presidential Debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Spoiler alert: it was like watching a reality TV show directed by a committee of sleep-deprived cats. Imagine, if you will, President Biden, who seemed like he aged five years during the debate. He started strong with all the vigor of someone who just realized they left the stove on. His sentences were like a choose-your-own-adventure novel where every path leads to a dead end. And who decided against giving the man a lozenge? It sounded like he swallowed the entire cast of The Princess and the Frog. Then we have Trump, the human revisionist history machine. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was auditioning for the role of “World's Most Delusional Politician.” He painted his presidency as an era of sunshine and rainbows, where everyone held hands and sang “Kumbaya.” Apparently, he's the only person who remembers the “moonbeams and puppy dogs” era of 2016-2020. Also, fun fact: did you know that the South won the Civil War? Neither did I. Our dynamic moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, seemed to have taken a vow of silence, letting Trump's fibs fly by unchallenged. At one point, Trump claimed, “I have the biggest heart on this stage.” Well, sure, if we're talking about a medically concerning condition. Biden, bless his heart, took his sweet time to mention that he was debating a convicted felon. You'd think that would be the opener, right? Instead, we got Biden channeling his inner grumpy grandpa, telling Trump he had “the morals of an alley cat,” which, let's be honest, is a disservice to alley cats everywhere. Trump, in his usual fashion, was all over the map with his insults. “Manchurian candidate,” “very bad Palestinian,” and my personal favorite, “I didn't have sex with a porn star.” If you had that on your debate bingo card, congratulations! By the time they started arguing about their golf handicaps, I was ready to bang my head against the nearest wall. Biden's accomplishments got lost in the shuffle, and Trump, well, he somehow seemed almost normal, which is frankly terrifying. CNN hyped this debate like it was the second coming of prime-time TV, but Jake and Dana might as well have been hosting a particularly disinterested game of Jeopardy! By the end, Trump had that Cheshire Cat grin, probably because he knew he'd just pulled off the ultimate con job. So, folks, buckle up and join us as we dissect this trainwreck of a debate with all the wit and sarcasm you've come to expect from the What Are We Doing Podcast.

BH Sales Kennel Kelp CTFO Changing The Future Outcome

Grandpa Bill today goes down the Rabbit Hole a bit! The Cheshire Cat makes several appearances throughout Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but there are no direct references to its name. Lewis Carroll uses descriptive terms to introduce the creature. Here's a breakdown of its key appearances: First Encounter (Chapter 6): Alice encounters a "grin without a cat" sitting on a branch of a tree. It fades away slowly, leaving only the grin behind. Second Encounter (Chapter 6): Alice sees the Cheshire Cat again, this time perched on another branch. They engage in a philosophical conversation about directions and madness. The Cat fades away entirely this time. Third Encounter (Chapter 7): The Cheshire Cat reappears leading a Mad Hatter's tea party guest, a baby who keeps turning into a pig. This time, only the Cat's head appears, floating in mid-air. Fourth Encounter (Chapter 9): The Cheshire Cat appears briefly, advising Alice to ask the Mad Hatter or March Hare about the Queen of Hearts. Only the Cat's grin remains after Alice leaves. While never directly called the "Cheshire Cat," its distinctive grin and ability to vanish and reappear make its presence unmistakable throughout the story.

Servicing Foxx Inc: Part 5

Reluctant Exhibitionist TrainingBy PtmcPilot – listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. As a brief recap, a couple of months ago I separated from the Navy after six years in submarines. Growing bored of lounging around my parents' house, I began a job search, and to my surprise I found myself in an interview a short time later. An interview, believe it or not, that ended with my having sex with my hiring manager. That was actually normal given that my new job was to sexually service the women of Foxx Inc.Excellent work if you can get it.After several weeks as Provider of Building ‘Services' at Foxx Inc, I was feeling pretty comfortable and secure. I hadn't had any more 'complaints' and my female coworkers seemed genuinely pleased with my, um, performance. At the time there was one potential problem I was keeping an eye on, and I'll have to recount that in another entry of its own. This journal entry is about a Friday to remember.It was noon on a Thursday, and I had yet to be visited by one of the Foxx women. That was odd, although not completely unheard of. I'd grabbed lunch early and was looking over proposals for the new janitorial services contract when my phone dinged. A text from Ms Olson, the lead HR rep, simply told me to check email. Any contact, even a text, from that woman had me well on my way to hard in moments. I woke my computer and read her message."Mr. Jeffries, tomorrow the firm will be holding a 'Free Use Friday.' To be sure things go as well as desired, I have arranged some training this afternoon. Please study this email and commit the customs and rules of FuF to memory. Then, promptly at 13 0 5, come to my office for a practical exam; I will be the one available for free use. See you soon."Attached to the email was a document, and adjusting my now fully hard cock, I opened it to learn what she had in mind."The concept of free use is as follows: one party, in this case women of the firm wearing blue or black dresses, skirts or slacks on Free Use Friday, gives prior consent for sex without further discussion. The other party, in this case the PBS, can, at any time, engage in sexual acts with the consenting party. None of the women present will acknowledge anything sexual is happening. For example, you may find a woman wearing a black skirt having a conversation with some coworkers in the breakroom, walk up, bend her over a table and commence fucking her, and no one in the room is to notice you are doing so.As you will be engaging the women at the time of your choosing, it is your responsibility to ensure the firm is not embarrassed or placed in jeopardy. For example, there are circumstances, say when someone is on a video call, that require discretion. Note, this does not mean you cannot or should not engage in sexual acts with them during a call; however, you must carefully consider what the other side will see or hear.During FuF you may find a woman you wish to engage, take any appropriate precautions regarding discretion, pose them as desired, undress them as needed, and get on with business. While they will not acknowledge you, they will participate. For example, if you put their hand around your cock they will stroke you. If you undress a woman you need not redress them when you depart.For your first FuF at the firm, we have decided to keep the rules simple.-Any woman wearing a black or blue dress, skirt or slacks is a consenting player-All woman so consenting give prior consent for: vaginal sex (to include internal ejaculation), oral sex (give/receive through to orgasm), undressing, all manner of breast fondling, facials, titty fucking, and handjobs."I pushed back from the desk and exhaled. Wowzers. I checked the time and found there were still forty-five minutes until my meeting with Ms Olson. Knowing I would not be able to focus on the proposals after that reading, I decided instead to double down on my hydration by knocking back a bottle of water and a pineapple juice.For no reason in particular on this day I was dressed as a custodial engineer, aka janitor. However, after reading over the email a few times I decided to change my attire and opted instead for office intern. Ditching the utility shirt and blue trousers, I donned black slacks, dress shoes, a white shirt and a tie. I left the underwear off as I figured they would just get in the way. Knowing precisely how long it took to get to Ms Olson's office, I left at 13 0 2 and arrived at her door at 13 0 5. Nearly hard before I even opened the door, my brain ran through a dozen scenarios in the brief moment between scanning my key card and opening the door.Ms Olson was behind her desk, engaged in a discussion with someone else that I did not immediately see. Closing the door behind me, I noted the presence of a smartly dressed woman perhaps mid-30s in age. She had black hair in a tight bun at the back of her head, a white blouse, blue blazer and a black skirt. While I recognized her as a recent hire, I did not so much as know her name. Her eyes darted to me for an instant, and a flush came over her otherwise rather pale complexion. It seemed she was ignoring me, which was very much in line with the fantasy angle I'd been told to expect. Of course, the flush was a slight giveaway. After a brief glance, I turned to Ms Olson, who was seated, cross-legged in her chair, one leg slightly swinging."Ms Garland, Elise," the HR rep said, "You are going to have to make a better case than that if you want me to hire an assistant for you.""I, well, you see," the woman I assumed to be Ms Garland said with a slight stammer.I grinned and moved to stand next to Ms Olson as the new woman organized her thoughts. If she was distracted, I didn't do her any favors as I walked up next to Ms Olson, unzipped, withdrew my cock, and placed Ms Olson's hand on it. True to form, she didn't do anything to acknowledge the act as she started to stroke me.Ms Garland cleared her throat and made an effort to maintain eye contact with Ms Olson. "Yes," she said at last with some firmness, "as the new lead of the contracts division it is suboptimal for me to have legal discussions with clients without an assistant to take notes and help me with other necessary administrative tasks."Ms Olson stroked my cock, mindfully running her palm over the head and spreading the increasing pre-cum along my shaft as she considered her response. She said, "Suboptimal you say? I'm intrigued. Please explain how not having an assistant affects you. And be sure to be detailed as I want to be convinced."Suspecting this was a ploy to avoid saying anything, I took a hold of Ms Olson's ever convenient and present ponytail and guided her head down to my dick, where she quite pleasantly took me into her mouth and began to fellate me.I stole a glance at Ms Garland, and found her staring at the wall behind us, trying desperately not to observe the blowjob being performed right in front of her. Her flush was, if anything, even a deeper shade of crimson, her nostrils flared and her nipples now pointy enough to cut glass. She took a deep breath before talking very slowly. "There are, in fact, several reasons. I'll go over a few in detail, as you asked, and then maybe we can discuss them."Ms Olson, not pausing her cock sucking efforts in the slightest, gestured with her free hand to indicate the woman should, in fact, continue."Very well. The most important reason for me to have an assistant is to have someone present for all meetings and phone calls. This allows me to engage in a dynamic and involved conversation, representing the firm with maximum efficiency because I know someone is accurately recording every word said. In my experience, most of the people I engage with will not have that luxury, and this puts them at a disadvantage when we recount terms and conditions from those discussions."Ms Olson pulled off my cock with an audible 'pop' and turned toward the other woman. "I gather you are saying that most of the people you engage in are not as quick as yourself, and when you read their words back to them they are surprised?" Without waiting for a response, she resumed the blowjob.Ms Garland's glance darted toward Ms Olson's head, though again only for an instant. She inhaled sharply, then exhaled slowly as she shook her head, a slight smile on her face. "Not to sound too full of myself, but yes, that is exactly what I am saying."Ms Olson managed to convey a nod with another hand gesture. Ms Garland nodded in response, and said, "My priorities are on the position and protection of Foxx Inc, and that means my time is best spent planning for and engaging with clients, not writing up my notes and preparing documents such as NDAs."Ms Olson again pulled off my cock with a 'pop' and continued to stroke me as she turned and replied, a smile appearing on her face, "Are you saying things such as notes and documents are not worth your time?" And again, she resumed her blowjob efforts.Ms Garland looked annoyed ever so briefly, but Ms Olson was not looking at her. Then, her gaze shifted to me, back to Ms Olson and what she was doing, and she wetted her lips almost obviously, before returning to look past Ms Olson. "Those tasks are certainly worth doing; however, you are not paying me a few hundred dollars an hour to do them."Ms Olson pulled off me, and now I was quite ready to continue my own, er, congress with the HR rep. "I believe we are in agreement on your points so far, Elise. Do continue." As she spoke, I lifted her from the chair and placed one hand between her shoulder blades. Pushing slightly as I had one hand on her hip, she compliantly bent forward over the desk. I tossed her skirt up onto her back as Ms Garland's eyes went wide for a moment as she realized what was about to happen."My final point is more," and she was interrupted by a deep groan from Ms Olson as I sheathed myself fully inside her ever delectable, and wet, cunt. Ms Olson let out a long breath and our new lawyer continued, "well, it is a little more, ah, basic."I began fucking Ms Olson with solid strokes, slamming her hips against the desk as I did. She tried, and failed, to avoid a faint grunt with each thrust. "Please, ugh, Ms Garland, ugh, do, ugh, continue. I'm sure, ugh, that you wouldn't, ugh, ask if you didn't, ugh, need it." Subconsciously or not, she put a heavy emphasis on 'need.'Though we had not been at it long, I sensed she was getting as close as I was. Ms Garland was beet red at this point and breathing almost as hard as Ms Olson. "Yes, well, you see, our clients and competitors all know who does, and does not answer their own phones and make their own appointments. In addition to greatly helping me with my work, an assistant goes a long way toward conveying the firm's status to outsiders."At the moment she finished that statement, I had my fingers on Ms Olson's clit, and I squeezed it as I drove toward my rapidly approaching climax. As expected, she was not far behind me, and she gripped the edge of the desk as she let out a low quiet moan and clenched my cock. With that, I started to come myself. After a moment she let go of the desk with one hand and hit the desk twice, "Fuck," she said in a drawn out way. Then she blew her hair out of her face even as I continued to fill her cunt through our mutual climax.Ms Garland unabashedly gawked at me for a long moment, then looked away. Grinning like the Cheshire Cat, I withdrew from Ms Olson, pulled her skirt back down, and pulled up my trousers. As I did so, Ms Olson said, "Well, Elise, I have to say I was on the fence, but your arguments pushed me over the edge and I am fully behind your proposal." Not bothering to smooth her skirt, Ms Olson stood upright and extended her hand, the one she had been stroking me with by the way, to the other woman, "You do understand that your assistant needs to be a woman, and possesses shall we say, certain attitudes?"Ms Garland stood and shook the offered hand, "Thank you. And yes, I am quite clear on the necessary attitudes of Foxx Inc employees."Ms Olson nodded, "Good, then I expect to see the write up for the position this afternoon."The other woman returned the nod, then left the room. Ms Olson at once turned to me and kissed me hard. "God I've missed doing that!" Seeing my confused expression she added, "It's been quite a while since I've been able to arrange and participate in that kind of fantasy. I dare say we surprised Elise even though she knew this was, ah, coming." She sat down and looked up at me with a big grin, "I can't speak for her, but if I'd been sitting there, watching us, I'd be soaked." I returned the grin and she added, "Don't worry, she won't be frustrated for long. You are scheduled to stop by her office at 15 35, though she doesn't know that."Though I had just come a few minutes ago, I could feel myself stirring. "I'll try not to be late." I walked to the door, then realized something, "By the way, do I need to know what Ms Garland's regular tri-graphs are?"Ms Olson gave me a surprised look, "Oh my! How did I miss that you haven't been with her yet?" She snickered, then laughed, then waved a hand at me in dismissal, "Don't worry, I'm sure anything on the free use list I sent you will be fine with her." Then something seemed to occur to her, and she smirked, "Though maybe you should check her badge after all."Back in my office, I freshened up after my delightfully exhibitionist tryst with Ms Olson and sat down to have a look at Ms Garland's calendar. There was a 15 30 meeting with a subject line of "private meeting". I could not see the attendees, but a quick check of Ms Olson's calendar revealed a meeting on the same topic. '15 35', I thought to myself, and then a different idea popped into my head.I finished with the new services contract, sent a signed version on its way, and had another water. I switched to the blue HVAC tech uniform and arrived at Ms Garland's office a little after 15 20. Opening the door her eyes popped as she recognized me. Then she checked her watch and her hand shot to cover her mouth and she squeaked an, "Oh my!" She shook her head and went back to doing whatever it had been when I entered. Closing the door behind me I walked over to stand beside her. I reached down between her blouse covered boobs and picked up her key cards. Her tri-graphs held a surprise for me: REX, NIX, CIP. The last two were relatively common, indicating she preferred for me to ejaculate in her cunt, and she liked everything done with her breasts. The first one though, gave me a pause and it took a moment to remember it. Reluctant exhibitionism. I checked the time, 1525. Looking around the room I decided on a course of action. Standing behind her I put my hands under her arms and had her stand. She said nothing, and kept focused forward as her panties were lowered and removed. I gestured for her to sit, then moved under the desk and rolled her chair forward slightly. Moving her skirt up and out of the way, I moved her knees as far apart as possible before reaching out to stroke the junction of her thighs with both hands. Despite trying to remain 'in character', my strokes so near her cunt resulted in a heavy moan. With one hand I barely brushed her clit, while the other ran up and just between her folds. As I had hoped and expected, she was soaked. I waited for a cue.A couple of minutes later, the door latch clicked and I heard someone enter the room, and I thought it might actually be two people."Gwen, Ashley, good afternoon," said Ms Garland. "Please take a seat."Ah, this meant that not only was Ms Olson present, but so was Ms Maddox, the Managing Partner whom I had met only twice before."You're looking a bit flushed, are you alright?" said Ms Maddox.Ms Garland shifted in her seat slightly, and I did not pause my actions. "I'm fine, really just a little hot, er, warm I think.""Well then," said Ms Olson, "shall we, get to it then?" There was a pause and she continued, "Gwen, Elise has stated some concerns with the impregnation arrangements.""I see," said Ms Maddox, "please explain.""This is a field with surprisingly little case law," began Ms Garland. "Aside from paternity cases arising from sperm donor instances in California, there isn't much out there."I heard all of this clearly, but the context didn't register with me. I kept up my efforts on Ms Garland, who was starting to squirm."So we're clear," said Ms Olson, "the person most likely to be concerned with the terms is the, ah, sperm donor."Ms Maddox said, "You mean Mr Jeffries."And on that note, not a little surprised at this news myself, I pushed two fingers as deep into Ms Garland as I could, and was rewarded with a faint, but noticeable "Ooh!""Yes Elise? What was that?" Ms Olson said, a definite hint of mirth in her voice.Feeling the sponginess of her g-spot, I pressed on it rhythmically and she squirmed, grinding against my fingers. "Ahem, yes, most of the case law is concerned with donor rights and responsibilities after birth, primarily in regards to financial support and visitation." As she spoke I continued to work her cunt, trying to be careful and not to get her too close to coming. She groaned."Are you quite sure you're okay?" asked Ms Maddox. I gathered Ms Garland nodded because a moment later she continued, "Do you think a solution is achievable? She's quite intent on having everything set so she can, well, not to put to fine a point on it, fuck with a purpose when she's ready." Now that we were talking clearly, II decided it was time to move on.I pushed the chair back from the desk while keeping my fingers moving inside her. Once there was space I crawled out from the chair and pulled Ms Garland to her feet. I looked at the two women on the couch, and found they were steadfastly looking right at Ms Garland, pointedly not looking at me. My hands went to the front of her blouse and I started to unbutton it. Her breathing got heavier. "I don't believe there is a way to completely prevent future legal action, but it does seem quite unlikely."Finished with her blouse, I was pleasantly surprised to find a front clasp bra, which was at once undone to release her b-cups to everyone present. Her nipples were like diamonds against my palms.Ms Olson smirked, "So we could say the exposure of the firm would not be a concern?"Before Ms Garland could reply, I dropped my trousers and sat in the chair, my hands moving to Ms Garland's hips. She let out a long breath, knowing what was coming."Nope," she said quickly.Now, with one hand I pulled Ms Garland down to my lap, aiming my cock home with the other. I sighed as she sank down fully on me, sheathing me in her wet warmth."I, Mmm, agree," said Ms Olson with a grin. "I don't believe Mr Jeffries will have an issue when everything is explained. He's a very reasonable person."Ms Maddox nodded and both women stood up from the couch. "Well then, I think this meeting accomplished its purpose, wouldn't you say Ashley?"Ms Olson grinned, "It's close enough to a conclusion, yes. We can leave Elise to finish on her own."The other woman nodded and the two of them turned to go. The moment the door shut Ms Garland jumped up from my lap and pulled me up out of the chair, kissing me very aggressively. "Sorry to break out of the fantasy," she said, then pushed me away and opened the valise next to her desk. Inside was some work out gear, and a pile of folded towels. She handed me two, and said, "Get naked and put those on the floor." She shrugged off her bra and blouse as she said this, then removed her skirt as she strode to the door and locked it. I pulled off my shirt, stepped out of my trousers and lay down on the towels in the center of the room. At once she straddled my hips and started sliding her clit along my length.I moved my head up and took one nipple in my mouth as I pinched the other. Her face next to my ear, she said heavily, "I've never been so turned on as I have been for the last two hours." I tugged on her nipple with my teeth and she moaned. "I don't want to surprise you, so I'll warn you that sometimes I squirt when I'm really excited. And right now I'm way past that. Oh, and if I come really hard, I can get really out of it. Don't let it stop you."I nodded, shifting nipples to suck on the other one. She pulled me away from her chest and kissed me hard, angling her hips as she did and taking me inside her on the next stroke. The next instant she started riding me faster than anyone ever had. Her breathing accelerated, and after maybe thirty seconds she held her breath and then nearly screamed into my mouth. Her cunt clenched around me, and then a veritable flood of hot liquid splashed out of her and all over my abdomen. Her lower body started shaking, then a bit later her breathing changed to a fast pant for just a bit before she collapsed on top of me, completely limp yet still quivering after her orgasm.Remembering what she said, I rolled her onto her back, held on to her knees and fucked her for a very short time before flooding her cunt. It was good, really good, and I sat back on my haunches waiting for her to come back to reality. It was maybe thirty seconds before her eyes fluttered open, she smiled at me, and with one hand she caressed her cunt, feeling me still inside her. She gave her clit a pinch, moaned, then said, "Is it always like this?"Since she hadn't done anything yet to signal I should leave, I gave her a couple strokes and she sighed. "What part exactly?" I asked."Where to begin? I started working here three weeks ago with the understanding that once in a while I'd have the opportunity to visit you for some fooling around. Then yesterday, before I had that chance, Ashley came to my office and asked me if I could help with this free use idea. She said my profile, with 'REX', made me a natural for a first test.""I gather she wasn't wrong about that," I said, and she gestured f

Welcome to Episode 18 of The Paranormal Rundown! This episode starts out with a fairly deep discussion on lost books of the Bible, in the middle of which we are given revelation about why Father Birdsong says he was the King of Protestantism, along with details of his journey to the Catholic faith. Deacon Josh gives us a rundown on The Book of Tobit, Vic tells us all about Goofer Dust, JJ gives us the aerodynamic benefits of Chicken Feet as Spaceships, and David introduces the concept of having a Spiritual Immune System when it comes to the Demonic. There are many other topics in the middle, including The Book of Q, Gnostic Texts, Flayed Demon Dreams, Tarot Cards, Konxari Cards, Psychic Readings, Greegrees, Metaphysical Shop Energy, the Origin of the Cheshire Cat, and Demonic Points of Attachment. It is a packed episode, so hold on tight!For those of you who are paying attention, you may have noticed that this is Episode 18, not 20, which is a little confusing because the last episode released was Episode 19. Well, someone managed to bump episode 19 up in front of 18 by accident. I won't give you his name, but his initials are DG. Must have gotten a little too excited about discussing those rabbits... The good news is that you Still have one more episode to go in season 1! So be sure to join us again in two weeks for Episode 20!If you have your own paranormal or scary game story, please email us the details of the game and any experiences you have had playing it, at feedback@paranormalrundown.com!The Paranormal Rundown is a partnership between the hosts David Griffith, JJ Johnson, Father Michael Birdsong, and Vic Hermanson.Be sure to check out our partner podcasts:You can find JJ at Southern Demonology, https://www.southerndemonology.comYou can find Vic at Trailer Trash Terrors, https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vic-hermansonYou can find Father Birdsong at https://www.becomingahouseofprayer.com, as well as hear his new podcast Ending the Curse at:https://open.spotify.com/show/5yL7ZAN4wcRKnMPAlalVXW Hosted on Acast.

"Get ready to cross...into the land." Jos 1:2 NIVThe words for you today are (1) Get ready. For forty years, Joshua had served Moses and been mentored by him; now he was ready to lead Israel into the promised land. This raises the all-important question: Are you ready for the success you seek? The frustrating thing about preparation is sometimes it takes more time than the event you're preparing for. Are you self-disciplined? Are you up to date on your career or calling? Do you have the right relationships in place? Is your homelife in order? Do you have strong character? As the old saying goes, "You can claim to be surprised once; after that, you're unprepared!" One author writes: "Talented people are sometimes tempted to take shortcuts. Character prevents that. Talented people may feel superior and expect special privileges. Character helps them to know better. Talented people are praised for what others see them build. Character builds what's inside them. Talented people have the potential to be difference makers. Character makes a difference in them. Talented people are often a gift to the world. Character protects that gift." (2) Go! God told Joshua, "I will give you every place where you set your foot" (v. 3 NIV). Don't be like Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland who asked the Cheshire-Cat, "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat. "I don't much care where-" said Alice. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat. To succeed, you must do the right things, moment by moment, day by day, following through with them in a consistent way.Support the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Have you ever seen an entity with a strange Cheshire Cat-like grin? After having this experience, ourselves, we decided to dig deeper to see if there was any specific documentation about this entity. While an urban legend about a Grinner Man existed, it wasn't the same. So, we took to forums and places on the internet where people discussed their personal encounter stories, and sure enough this has been experienced more often than we expected. During this episode, we talk about the time we witnessed one helping out on a case, as well as personal encounters with different entities we've seen since diving more into the paranormal and investigating. Among them was an entity seen in Megan's dream. A strange old woman brushing an eyeless porcelain doll's hair.

Going Down the Rabbit Hole. Today we're doing a deep dive on Taylor Swift's song, “Wonderland,” from the album 1989. This episode builds on Episode 3 focused on Taylor Swift's lyrical influences from the book “Alice in Wonderland.” In this episode, we explore whether the Cheshire Cat is calming or creepy; if New York City really is “Wonderland”; How Taylor Swift's music, lyrics, and album branding are often at odds with one another; and how this song seems to reference “A Tale of Two Cities” and “The Great Gatsby” all at the same time.    Mentioned in the episode:  “Wonderland,” written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback 1989 (Taylor's Version) Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll Alice in Wonderland, 1951 Disney Film Alice in Wonderland, 2010 Tim Burton Film “A Tale of Two Cities,” by Charles Dickens “The Great Gatsby,” by F. Scott Fitzgerald   *** Episode Highlights:  [01:42] We fell down a rabbit hole: How we do a deep dive  [04:13] Didn't you calm my fears with a Cheshire Cat smile: Je suis calme!  [06:50] I should have slept with one eye open at night: A false sense of security  [15:06] Nothing's as it seems: How Taylor's lyrics, music, and imagery inform the story [19:03] Too in love to think straight: This love is not what it seems  [21:04] In Wonderland, we both went mad: When it all shifts in the bridge [29:27] We found wonderland: How she used this literary reference    *** Subscribe to get new episode updates: aptaylorswift.substack.com/subscribe Follow us on social!  TikTok → tiktok.com/@APTaylorSwift Instagram → instagram.com/APTaylorSwift YouTube → youtube.com/@APTaylorSwift Link Tree → linktr.ee/aptaylorswift Bookshop.org → bookshop.org/shop/apts This podcast is neither related to nor endorsed by Taylor Swift, her companies, or record labels.

On this episode of the God Pod: God and cohosts Jesus and the Holy Spirit, jump right into it with top news concerning conservative's hypocrisy over banning books, but not the Bible, which is filled with horrible traumatizing stories.  On the ‘GD News,' the Holy Trinity reports on the fake image of the pope's drippin' puffer coat, scary photorealistic AI, boner pills, a Christian lawmaker who is “very sad” (boo hoo) about a parent asking the Utah school district to remove the Bible due to its pornographic content, a classical sculpture too scandalous for Floridians, HGTV, Trump's pro-arrest demonstrators, the Proud Boys getting a time out at an NYC Drag Queen story hour, Disney's gay rights summit, and people get angry because Elmo wished a happy Ramadan to Muslims. On ‘Ask God,' you'll discover where you can find the live animated episode of the God Pod (pssst…it's on the God Pod channel on YouTube), if God will give pets the gift of speech, WWJD, if mermaids go to heaven, where listener C2 can find his old box of legos, why the days aren't even, and if the Trinity watches ‘Supernatural.' On “Listener Feedback,' the Holy Spirit gets birdsplained to about Tums, Cheshire Cat defends Jesus' hand holes, and Jesus' voice finally gets recognized as spicy.   Don't forget to listen to the end because God has a banger of a New Commandment! The God Pod: Have It Yahweh! After 6000 years of running the universe, God realized that Satan is kicking his butt, like, really bad. Over the centuries and despite lots of trying, God has not been able to smite the forces of evil. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Full of fun and heart, the God Pod is a twice-weekly opportunity for God to hang out with his fellow deities and maybe even meet some interesting humans.
