Mahan Tahvildari kümmert sich als "Mathematiker" um das wikifolio "Videospiele" ( https://go.brn-ag.de/294 ). Das wikifolio hat seit 2016 eine Performance von über 190 %, oder ca. 13 % pro Jahr. Zu zwei Dritteln ist der Mathematiker investiert, ein Drittel ist Cash: "Das liegt an den Unsicherheiten in den Märkten. Wir halten die Cashposition als Sicherheitspuffer aus Hedginggründen und um günstige Einstiegsmöglichkeiten zu finden." Der Gamingmarkt boomt (Konsole, PC, Mobile, Cloud-Gaming), das größte Highlight in diesem Jahr (wenn nicht sogar in dieser Dekade) wird der Release von Grand Theft Auto 6 sein. "Ein Systemseller." Sony hat im letzten Quartal angekündigt, bereits 75 Millionen Einheiten der Playstation 5 ausgeliefert zu haben.

(0:00:34) Al: My name is Al. (0:00:36) Codey: and my name is Cody. (0:00:37) Al: And we’re here today to talk about Cottagecore games. (0:00:41) Codey: Woo! (0:00:44) Codey: It sure has, I went to Costa Rica and back. (0:00:49) Codey: You guys almost lost me because I almost stepped (0:00:52) Codey: on the most venomous snake in Costa Rica. (0:00:55) Al: Oh no. Well, I mean, you know, a snake isn’t an insect. (0:01:01) Codey: It’s not, but it’s like in the very first day (0:01:04) Codey: They were like, this is the ultimate– (0:01:06) Codey: pit viper. If you get bit by one, you need to go to a hospital immediately, and you still might lose your limb. (0:01:13) Codey: And they had all these things. And then literally the next day I’m walking on a trail, and I– (0:01:18) Codey: I’m from Pennsylvania. We have– or I’m not from Pennsylvania, but I’m in Pennsylvania. (0:01:23) Codey: There’s lots of rattlesnakes here, so I’m used to it. You’re walking on a trail. You still look down. (0:01:27) Codey: You don’t look around you. You look down. And I almost set my foot down, and I was like, “Oh, that’s a snake.” (0:01:33) Codey: She was very well camouflaged. (0:01:36) Codey: It was Epen, she remained Epen, but I told people, I was like, “Hey, don’t go that way. There’s a Tertio Pelo or, gosh, what is the other, Fertilance?” (0:01:44) Codey: And people, of course, were like, “Oh, I wanna see it!” (0:01:48) Codey: And then I came over, so then I stood there and was basically like a bouncer for this snake. (0:01:56) Al: I - this is why I don’t travel very much. I just don’t - we just - like Scotland, pretty (0:02:05) Codey: Ah. (0:02:06) Al: safe place. We don’t really - technically we have one venomous snake, but it’s like (0:02:13) Al: the sort of venomous that you’re gonna have an itchy leg for a while, like that’s about (0:02:18) Codey: Yeah. Yeah, I know this one. This one’s not good. And we were pretty far away from a hospital. (0:02:18) Al: it. Yeah, no, I’m all right. In fact, like I - (0:02:25) Codey: It was fun, though. (0:02:26) Al: I think I’ve only ever seen a snake in the wild like once ever because they’re just - like (0:02:32) Al: they exist here, but they don’t really exist. So anyway, I’m glad you’re not dead. (0:02:37) Codey: Yeah, so I’m back. If anyone if anyone has any questions about Costa Rica, let me know in the slack. (0:02:45) Codey: Gotta be a member of the Slack, gotta be a Patreon subscriber. (0:02:48) Codey: Patreon.com/GHSpod. (0:02:50) Codey: But we’re not here to talk about that. What are we here to talk about today, y’all? (0:02:52) Al: This episode we are kind of going to talk about the Coral Island 1.1 update (0:03:00) Codey: Kind of. (0:03:01) Al: They’ll understand why soon (0:03:04) Al: There’s a whole thing (0:03:06) Al: We’re gonna talk about that before that we have some game news a decent chunk of game news (0:03:11) Al: We’ve gotten it’s gotten busy again, and it’s not all game delays (0:03:16) Al: But we have hit that period and we have had that time in the year where there’s lots of games getting delayed till next year (0:03:18) Codey: It is getting to be mostly game delays, but not all. (0:03:24) Codey: Maybe like half game delays right now. (0:03:24) Al: No, no, it wasn’t, it’s not… (0:03:26) Codey: Next episode will be more. (0:03:29) Al: This is not even half, it’s not even half. (0:03:31) Al: There’s only three game delays this episode. (0:03:33) Codey: Uh-huh, for now. (0:03:35) Codey: But, but literally the second after we record this, (0:03:39) Codey: you’re going to hit, we’re going to hit the boop (0:03:39) Al: Oh yeah, oh, for sure. (0:03:41) Codey: and then they’re going to be two more, 100 percent. (0:03:42) Al: For sure. (0:03:44) Al: I mean, we currently still have… (0:03:47) Al: Okay, like 20, like 30. (0:03:48) Al: We still have 30 games that are meant to be coming out this year. (0:03:51) Al: And it is halfway through. (0:03:52) Al: So, um, there’s going to be a lot more, a lot more delays. (0:03:55) Codey: Here we go. (0:03:58) Al: It’s my favorite time of the year, uh, game delay season. (0:04:00) Al: Uh, yeah, cool. So we’ve got some news, but first of all, Cody, what have you been up to? (0:04:06) Al: Other than trying to die in Costa Rica. (0:04:08) Codey: Uh, well, uh, unsuccessfully dying in Costa Rica. (0:04:13) Codey: Uh, and then just a lot of research stuff. (0:04:16) Codey: Um, and I was very, so I was in Costa Rica to do fly school, learn about flies, (0:04:21) Codey: learn how to identify them. (0:04:22) Codey: So I’ve been like super jazzed about getting through some of my (0:04:24) Codey: specimens, which is great. (0:04:26) Codey: Um, also did, uh, just did the great insect fair, which is Penn state’s big, (0:04:30) Codey: um, outreach event. (0:04:31) Codey: We had about 3000 people from across the state come and visit, um, (0:04:34) Codey: and learn about insects. (0:04:36) Codey: And that was super cool. (0:04:38) Codey: Uh, but when I wasn’t, uh, crippled by stress about the great insects, (0:04:43) Codey: great insect fair, uh, I was playing, uh, coral Island, of course, (0:04:47) Codey: a dove back into this game with both feet. (0:04:50) Codey: Um, not deep enough, but let, but we’ll get to that. (0:04:53) Codey: Uh, also a Disney dream light Valley. (0:04:56) Codey: I still play it every day. (0:04:57) Codey: Um, I’m trying to get all the critters and they, whether or not they show (0:05:02) Codey: up each day as a, you know, tossup. (0:05:05) Codey: Um, so I check. (0:05:08) Codey: Log on every morning and I check and see like, Oh, are they here? (0:05:10) Codey: I think I still have two of the crocodiles that I want and then one (0:05:14) Codey: Fox, um, that I don’t have, but I have befriended all of the other critters. (0:05:19) Codey: I’m also just like 100%ing everything in that game. (0:05:23) Codey: So I’m trying to get all the achievements. (0:05:24) Codey: So I give it maybe like 20 to 30 minutes a day. (0:05:28) Codey: Um, and then, uh, my best friend, Devin and I have moved on from (0:05:33) Codey: Minecraft for now, we’ve just tabled it. (0:05:36) Codey: and we’re playing Call of the Wild. (0:05:38) Codey: the angler so it’s a very uh it is farmville fishing oh sorry not farmville um (0:05:45) Codey: farming simulator fishing it’s like that quality but fish where it’s like really detailed about (0:05:53) Codey: do you have a float set up do you have a spinner set up do you have a what kind of set up do you (0:05:57) Codey: have what kind of rod do you have it’s it’s pretty intense but i’m enjoying it (0:06:02) Al: That looks like a game I do not want to play (0:06:06) Codey: it’s nice because it’s it’s all (0:06:08) Codey: open world. So there’s like, a bunch of different maps that (0:06:11) Codey: you can go to. And part of it, you just like explore the world. (0:06:15) Codey: And you also find you tell the people like when you see the (0:06:20) Codey: invasive bark beetle or the invasive purple loosestrife, (0:06:26) Codey: which is an invasive plant that often takes over like around (0:06:29) Codey: ponds. So you find these things. And it’s really cool because a (0:06:32) Codey: lot of it is legit. Like they told me about oxide daisy and (0:06:38) Codey: be on the lookout for oxide daisy. And then I was like, (0:06:40) Codey: this plant is glowing. And this is an oxide daisy. This looks (0:06:42) Codey: like a loosestrife. And I was like, Oh my gosh, it is. So it’s (0:06:47) Codey: just another thing that I can turn on play for like, five (0:06:51) Codey: minutes and then turn off if I don’t want to play it anymore. (0:06:54) Codey: The problem with Coral Island and games like it is I start a (0:06:58) Codey: day and then I’m like committed to that day. And then after the (0:07:02) Al: Yeah, but the games aren’t very long (0:07:02) Codey: day, you’re like, Oh, I can make those days last man. (0:07:08) Codey: I think I’ve also isn’t this one of the games you can like make (0:07:10) Codey: the days go slower? I think that’s one of the one of the (0:07:12) Al: Maybe I mean coral islanders are yes, we will do everything that you suggest type of game. So probably (0:07:13) Codey: accessibility things that you can do. (0:07:18) Codey: So I think I’ve done that because that was one of my (0:07:20) Codey: issues with Stardew is I was like you blink in the days over. (0:07:21) Al: Yeah, oh (0:07:23) Codey: But (0:07:23) Al: No, I like I like the shortness cuz then it’s like bam done I can put it away (0:07:28) Codey: no, I need, I need to be able to do everything. (0:07:29) Al: We. (0:07:32) Al: But you’ve got another day. See, this is how, this is how I’m four years into the game, (0:07:36) Codey: And I’m not even, it’s true. (0:07:36) Al: and you’re not even one year into the game. (0:07:40) Codey: The FOMO is so hard. (0:07:43) Codey: Like I, I finally did the thing where you like write down what you need to do for (0:07:49) Codey: like the basically community center, but it’s the Lake temple. (0:07:53) Codey: Like I wrote it down in a notebook that I have in front of me at all times. (0:07:57) Codey: And I wrote down like when you find all of the things. (0:08:00) Codey: So I’m like, and I didn’t do this until fall. (0:08:03) Codey: So now I’m like, look at all these fish that are spring and summer that I didn’t (0:08:06) Codey: know that they were evening fish in the river forest. (0:08:08) Al: Yeah. The fish is the thing I don’t have the most, and oh my word. We’ll get to that. We’ll get to that. We’ll get to that. We’ll get to later in the episode. (0:08:12) Codey: Or that, or that one. (0:08:16) Codey: What have you been plucked to? (0:08:18) Al: This, just before I do it, I was reading reviews on Call of the Wild, The Angler, because the reviews are, shall we say, mixed. (0:08:21) Codey: Yep. (0:08:27) Al: There are lots of people really like it, but here’s a fantastic review. (0:08:32) Al: 4.1 hours on record, not recommended, posted 4th of September. Somehow they managed to- (0:08:38) Al: -capture the true essence of real-life fishing in this game. Boring as hell? Check. Managing gear is tedious as hell? Check. You can spend hours fishing and catch nothing? Check. (0:08:47) Codey: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. (0:08:51) Al: The only thing they failed to capture was what a chura is to clean the fish/gear at the end of the day, but I shouldn’t give the devs any ideas. (0:08:58) Codey: Correct! So if you like fishing I’m sure you’d love this game because then you (0:09:02) Codey: don’t have to clean it either but yeah it is TDM it is the TDM of like (0:09:06) Codey: having to pick like oh you’re like oh you want a rainbow trout you have to (0:09:11) Codey: make sure that you have the right bait the right gear you have to go to the (0:09:15) Codey: right place you have to do all this stuff the right way and then yeah you still (0:09:21) Al: I mean, I will agree, that sounds like not fun. (0:09:24) Al: It does not sound like something that I would want to have anything to do with, but it’s (0:09:29) Al: a fishing sim. (0:09:30) Codey: Yep. What did you expect? (0:09:33) Al: If you don’t like fishing, maybe don’t play a fishing sim. (0:09:37) Codey: Yep. (0:09:37) Al: It’s not like something like trying to be different and trying to be interesting. (0:09:41) Al: It’s trying to be realistic, right? (0:09:45) Al: play a realistic fishing sim if you don’t like fishing. (0:09:48) Codey: Yep. It was funny because after playing it, and Jeff watched me play it a little bit, (0:09:54) Codey: we ended up we were near a Bass Pro Shop, which is like a giant, it’s like a Cabela’s or a big (0:10:02) Codey: like hunting store, but for fit, but mostly just for fit. Well, they I guess they had they had guns (0:10:07) Codey: as well. And we went in there to just walk around. Yeah. And we went in and walked around and then (0:10:09) Al: Of course it’s America, of course you would. (0:10:15) Codey: and then someone tried to sell us a vacation. (0:10:18) Codey: We’re like, Oh, we’re done. It was a hunting trip. (0:10:20) Al: I do enjoy how you mentioned like a fishing shop, which I was like “okay, a shop that (0:10:25) Al: has everything you need to do fishing, fair enough” and then you try and explain it by saying (0:10:29) Al: “it’s like a hunting shop, but for fish” and I’m like “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hunting shop”. (0:10:36) Codey: Yep. (0:10:38) Codey: Well, so I started explaining like, (0:10:40) Codey: oh, it’s like a Cabela’s. (0:10:41) Codey: And then I was like, I bet. (0:10:42) Codey: Al does not know what a Cabela’s is. (0:10:43) Al: I don’t know what that is either. Like I’m pretty sure shop that sells you fishing (0:10:50) Al: pretty self-explanatory. I know what that would mean. (0:10:54) Codey: but it does also have a hunting area and like you you can make bait bait traps (0:11:00) Codey: for your deer to like bait deer into your property like scent for deer like (0:11:04) Al: Oh. Classic fish. And also guns. What have I been up to? I have been playing Astrobot. (0:11:06) Codey: all there’s there’s more than just that yeah America anyway what have you been (0:11:21) Codey: You have to explain to me. (0:11:22) Al: So are you not aware of what Astrobot is? So, and he’s a little bit of background here. (0:11:24) Codey: I am not aware. (0:11:27) Codey: Okay. (0:11:29) Al: So Astrobot is a PlayStation character and he (0:11:34) Al: I think his first game was Astro’s Playroom, which was a free game that came with the PS5 (0:11:45) Al: and was basically like a tech demo of like all the things that the new controller could do. (0:11:51) Al: And it was super fun. And it’s like he’s this little cute robot. And the idea was you’ve got (0:11:55) Al: these little levels where you’re going around and you’re basically rescuing old Sony PlayStation (0:12:00) Al: stuff so you’re like getting a playstation one and then (0:12:04) Al: you’re getting like accessories for it you’re getting the original controller and then you get (0:12:09) Al: a ps2 and you get accessories for and it’s like that you end up building out this really nice (0:12:12) Codey: Grabbing the–grabbing those memory cards that you had to grab. (0:12:15) Al: yeah yeah exactly exactly loads of things like that and you’re built basically building out this (0:12:19) Al: museum and it was super fun um so they’ve built onto that and made a bigger game that they could (0:12:26) Al: actually sell um called astrobot and so it’s um I mean I basically it’s like (0:12:34) Al: way I would describe it is if sony decided to make a 3d mario game that’s basically what it is (0:12:42) Al: so it’s super fun i’m not very far through it because it came out a week ago and i’ve (0:12:46) Al: not had a huge amount of time so i’ve you know i’m through a few levels and um stuff but yeah i’m (0:12:52) Al: i’m enjoying myself it has the same fun whimsy of astro’s playroom it has the really nice controls (0:13:00) Al: of a good mario game it has the (0:13:04) Al: unique mechanics that mario wonder had um where lots of different levels have like one specific (0:13:10) Al: thing that doesn’t that level uh less kind of like trippy and more just like a mechanic type (0:13:15) Al: thing like oh sometimes you have monkey arms and you use them for climbing and sometimes you know (0:13:21) Al: the standard kind of mario stuff um so yeah it’s super fun um and it’s it’s I don’t know if it’s (0:13:28) Al: meant to be I don’t know if it’s going to be as nostalgic as the other one but it’s it feels like (0:13:34) Al: trying to do a similar sort of thing um in that your ship that you’re trying to rebuild is a ps5 (0:13:42) Al: and there’s a few things that i’ve kind of found that they’re not hardware stuff they’re like game (0:13:47) Al: based stuff this time so like you’re rescuing little robots like astrobot and there some of (0:13:53) Al: them are in costumes so I found the crash bandicoot one and I found the spyro one and stuff like that (0:13:55) Codey: oh my gosh (0:13:58) Al: so I think it’s more going for the nostalgia of the games this time which I mean makes sense (0:14:03) Codey: nostalgia machine activate. (0:14:05) Al: Um, I was wrong. They did have another Astro Bot game before Astro’s Playroom, (0:14:09) Al: and that was a PlayStation VR game for the PS4 in 2018 called… (0:14:14) Codey: So still showing off new technology. (0:14:16) Al: Yes, yeah, so I guess that’s kind of the same thing. But yeah, it does really fun stuff with (0:14:21) Al: the controller, and it’s enjoyable to play. And, you know, it’s a game for me to actually play on (0:14:26) Al: my PS5. [LAUGHS] There’s like 20 PS5-exclusive games, and half of them… (0:14:28) Codey: to justify that expense. (0:14:34) Al: And we’re four years into this console. (0:14:40) Codey: seems legit have you played a heavy rain have they remade that (0:14:44) Al: I have not. I don’t know. [LAUGHS] (0:14:49) Al: Fair enough. I remember when it came out, and I remember being like, “Oh, it’s great.” (0:14:56) Al: I’ve not made a remake. I’m not seeing anything about a remake. (0:15:02) Al: What else? I’ve also been… (0:15:04) Al: playing lots of Marvel Snap and this week, if people were listening last week, I was (0:15:09) Al: sitting kind of like ranks 70 I think. I am now at rank 100, infinity rank, so I’m at (0:15:15) Al: the top of the ladder. So wooo! Exciting. I know I’m not sure what to do. Well, yeah, (0:15:17) Codey: Woo. (0:15:20) Codey: Well, no, now that now the real game begins, right, max rank. (0:15:26) Al: I don’t really care. So the problem is, I don’t really care about grinding that number (0:15:31) Al: out because you don’t really get any good rewards for it. (0:15:33) Al: And so it’s– (0:15:35) Al: for the sake of playing, and I’m never gonna get up to the top. So I like goals that are realistic. (0:15:40) Al: So I’m just playing conquest instead, which is like you have to play a– you have to win a match (0:15:46) Al: in a row to get the first ticket, and then you get two in a row to get the next ticket, and then three (0:15:52) Al: in a row, and then you have to– so you essentially have to win, I think it’s like 10 battles in a row, (0:15:57) Al: and then you win a bunch of another currency that you use to buy something. So that’s what I’m (0:16:02) Al: what I’m doing just now, but it’s pretty hard. (0:16:04) Al: And the problem is that any time you lose you have to go all the way down to the beginning again (0:16:04) Codey: Yeah. (0:16:08) Al: Win one to get the next ticket and then win two to get the next (0:16:08) Codey: Of course you do. (0:16:12) Codey: Could you pay a premium currency to not lose your space? (0:16:16) Codey: Oh, that’s a that’s a missed opportunity from them. They (0:16:21) Al: you can grind out the lower tickets. So that’s what I’m doing just now, like grinding out (0:16:25) Al: as many of the silver tickets as I can so that I don’t have to keep going back down. (0:16:30) Al: And I can just like then grind out as many of the gold ones as possible. And then when (0:16:35) Al: I eventually win the gold one, then I can like try and grind that for the infinity one. (0:16:40) Al: I can’t remember. And I’ve been I’ve been getting back into reading comics. So as as (0:16:49) Al: As happens every year, I resubscribed. (0:16:51) Al: For a year of Marvel Unlimited when I should actually use this and went and read a bunch (0:16:57) Al: of comics. So I’m reading through the Ms. Marvel comics just now because I really like Ms. Marvel. (0:17:03) Al: She’s one of my favorite characters. And yeah, it’s been good. I’ve just finished the Inhumans (0:17:10) Al: versus X-Men comics line, which was good. I enjoyed that. But what I find really funny is, (0:17:17) Al: as you’re following stories. You come across characters that you’re not (0:17:21) Al: actively following, but you know some about. But then, because you’ve not been actively (0:17:26) Al: following them in the comics, their status is completely different from what you would expect (0:17:30) Al: it to be, right? And so you’re like, “I need to find out why, for example, why is Cyclops a child (0:17:30) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:17:35) Al: just now?” And so you look into the reasons for why Cyclops is a child, and you find out that (0:17:36) Codey: Yeah, see (0:17:40) Al: actually Cyclops went evil and died. And this is Cyclops from the past, who’s now having to deal (0:17:46) Al: with the fact that he knows that he grows up to be evil and dies. (0:17:52) Codey: Yup, this is classic Marvel to me, because like I mean, it (0:17:53) Al: Yeah. (0:17:58) Codey: requires it’s no longer like standalone, like it requires (0:18:02) Codey: that you have seen everything. I remember going and seeing one (0:18:05) Codey: of the most recent movies, like the multiverse of madness or (0:18:10) Codey: whatever. And I was like, wait, why is Scarlet Witch bad and (0:18:13) Codey: wait visions dead? And like it was just like, wait, what? (0:18:13) Al: think yeah I mean I’m not I think I think this is just one of these things (0:18:19) Al: where you just have to kind of if you’re not willing to do everything you just (0:18:23) Al: kind of have to accept that sometimes you won’t know the current state of (0:18:26) Al: things and you know I would go into these things I mean obviously I watch (0:18:30) Al: all of the Marvel stuff like all the shows and films because it’s not really (0:18:32) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:18:34) Al: on the level of reading all the comics like reading all the comics is basically (0:18:37) Al: impossible watching all the shows and TV series the films and TV series it’s not (0:18:37) Codey: Right (0:18:42) Al: that difficult, right? (0:18:43) Al: You have any sort of, like, time that you can do on a weekly basis. You can keep up (0:18:47) Al: to date reasonably easily, if you want to. But, well, like, this year, for example, so (0:18:49) Codey: No. (0:18:50) Codey: I’m going to do a little bit of a (0:18:54) Al: far we have had one 10-episode series in one film, so far, this year, and we’re in September. (0:19:03) Al: So it’s not… that’s not an unreasonable amount to try and keep up to date if you care (0:19:07) Al: about it. And the TV series was, like, an animation anyway. It was unrelated to the (0:19:11) Al: current multiverse, you don’t have to pay attention. (0:19:12) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:19:14) Al: There’s one film, that’s all that’s been so far this year. (0:19:16) Codey: Yeah, no, it’s good wait was the one film that the Deadpool okay, I did (0:19:17) Al: So, yeah, so I also enjoyed it. But yeah, so I don’t, I think it’s just kind of one of these (0:19:29) Al: things we just have to accept if you’re not willing to keep up with it. But why I find fun (0:19:33) Al: about it in the comics is it’s like, oh, this is a really weird situation. I just stop reading the (0:19:38) Al: comic, go find out why this person is in this situation, and then come back. Because there’s (0:19:43) Al: a lot of explanations for most things. And you learn more about other storylines that you’re (0:19:44) Codey: Yeah, no, my ADHD, I would be like, huh, I want to know why this is the way it is. (0:19:48) Al: not going to go and read. (0:19:56) Codey: And then I’d read that and then be like, Oh, because he went evil. (0:19:59) Codey: And I’d be like, huh, why did he do that? (0:20:01) Codey: And then I’d go down that rabbit hole. (0:20:03) Al: Yeah, and that’s one way to do it as well, you know, and it just like each their own and maybe (0:20:03) Codey: And then, yeah, that’s, yeah. (0:20:07) Al: you decide that means that you don’t read comics and that’s fine, you know? Like, um, that is, (0:20:11) Codey: Well, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. (0:20:13) Al: I am enjoying it. It’s good fun. So, uh, yeah. That’s what we’ve been up to. (0:20:19) Al: All right, time for some game news. First of all, Tales of the Shire has been delayed till 2025. (0:20:26) Al: Uh, uh, yeah, the, they’ve not really. (0:20:33) Al: Said much about it other than I want to make the game better. Um, the standard. Fine. Uh, but (0:20:41) Al: they announced that just after, it’s interesting. They announced it just after the announcement for (0:20:45) Al: the announcement. Uh, but yeah, they announced that they are having a showcase on Hobbit day, (0:20:54) Al: which is apparently a thing apparently has been a thing for years. Hobbit day, the 22nd of sort (0:20:58) Codey: Oh, I wonder why it’s Hobbit. (0:21:07) Codey: I thought it was because it was his birthday, but it’s (0:21:09) Codey: There we go. (0:21:10) Al: It’s the birthday of Bilbo and Frodo. (0:21:13) Codey: Make sense. (0:21:13) Al: Interesting, I didn’t realize I had the same birthday. (0:21:15) Al: That’s funny. (0:21:16) Codey: Yep. (0:21:17) Codey: Delayed. (0:21:18) Codey: Delayed. (0:21:21) Al: But yeah, we’ll have some more news about that. (0:21:23) Al: Maybe in the next episode, it’s the 22nd, which is the Sunday. (0:21:27) Al: I don’t know if I want to wait till after that’s been done. (0:21:29) Al: We’ll see. (0:21:30) Al: I’ll decide later. (0:21:30) Codey: Mm-hmm. It’s fine. It’s not going anywhere clearly (0:21:31) Al: We’ll, we’ll see. (0:21:32) Al: We’ll see. (0:21:36) Al: No, I know, but you know, this is our, you know, up to date. (0:21:40) Al: News podcast. (0:21:40) Codey: You know what we should totally do listeners let me know if you think this would be funny if ever there’s anything like that (0:21:45) Codey: We’re like we record or some news comes out after we record you could have a section. That’s like the (0:21:52) Codey: Breaking news and then you just like input that into the podcast, but you record it after their podcast (0:21:58) Al: So my my hesitation on that is that that involves like setting up another called (0:22:05) Codey: No, I’m just thinking like you have either you do it or you’re like, hey, (0:22:08) Codey: Cody, do a boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, breaking news about this news. (0:22:12) Al: But I but I think the fun thing about this podcast (0:22:16) Codey: I mean, people listen to me ramble by myself. (0:22:20) Codey: It happens. (0:22:22) Codey: It’s not unenjoyable, I guess. (0:22:23) Al: “Shookajoo Island have announced that they are delayed until early 2025.” (0:22:24) Codey: [LAUGH] Delayed. (0:22:29) Codey: Woo! (0:22:30) Al: I’m shocked about this one. I definitely didn’t predict this one at all. (0:22:30) Codey: Nope. (0:22:37) Al: So, I mean they’re using the excuse of a grant. (0:22:43) Al: Okay, fine. But presumably the grant means that you can do something for the game that (0:22:48) Al: you wanted to do for the game and have it in the release. So it’s something you always want. (0:22:53) Al: I just feel like this team, they just keep expanding the scope of the game. (0:22:58) Al: Because they added loads of stretch goals in the Kickstarter campaign and they were all (0:23:03) Al: things that just push out the release date. So, I wonder if this game will ever actually come out. (0:23:06) Codey: Yep, these are all things that (0:23:09) Codey: These are all things that could come out after the relief (0:23:13) Al: Yep. (0:23:14) Codey: But it’s I mean, I think it’s cool that they got money from the state that they live in in Germany (0:23:19) Codey: I think that’s really cool. Like the government’s getting involved. I don’t know how that happened (0:23:24) Al: Yeah, I don’t know if this is a thing in America or not, but it’s a reasonably common thing (0:23:29) Al: over here, where most countries have arts funds that they give out as grants to people. (0:23:35) Codey: Nah, no, it’s sports funds over here. (0:23:40) Al: Oh, funny. See, if I go on to Kickstarter, every time I go on to Kickstarter there’s a little (0:23:44) Al: banner up at the top that says, I’m just loading it up, of course the banner doesn’t appear the (0:23:51) Al: one time I actually talk about it. Literally every saying I’ve ever gone to (0:23:55) Al: this banner appears and it basically says something about their being. You can apply for (0:24:00) Al: Creative Scotland funding. So that’s the one that’s obviously in Scotland. So yeah they all have, (0:24:06) Al: most countries in certainly in Western Europe that I know of have similar sort of ideas where (0:24:12) Al: there’s a certain amount of their budget that they’ll put towards arts funding. (0:24:16) Codey: yep nope nothing here though I think it’s cool on the home page of kickstarter there have been (0:24:21) Codey: eight billion dollars put towards creative works wild look at us (0:24:24) Al: Nice. (0:24:29) Al: Yep, and they’ve also confirmed that their Switch version is started. (0:24:34) Codey: - Yep. (0:24:35) Al: So they’re started the porting. (0:24:37) Codey: - It’s happening. (0:24:39) Codey: - I think we need another delay, Al. (0:24:42) Al: Well, next we have two Pixellia, who’ve announced they’re delayed till 2025. (0:24:48) Codey: Oh, oh, so happy, thank you, I needed that. (0:24:53) Al: they are currently (0:24:55) Al: targeting March, April next year. (0:25:00) Al: So we’ll see. (0:25:01) Al: I like the wording there, right? (0:25:03) Al: It’s like, it’s not we’re planning to release then. (0:25:06) Al: It’s that that’s our target. (0:25:08) Al: And I think people are, I think people understand that difference in wording to (0:25:14) Al: make it like, oh, that’s kind of a wibbly, wobbly. (0:25:16) Codey: Mm-hmm a little bit of a hand wavy deadline. I did love (0:25:21) Codey: One of some of the reasons that they wanted to do it is they want to create (0:25:24) Codey: Quote customization options free from gender, which I like (0:25:30) Codey: Totally like that. I also like that. They wanted to quote add more crime (0:25:35) Codey: opportunities (0:25:36) Al: “Be gay, do crime”, that’s what you’re saying, right? (0:25:37) Codey: Be gay do crime (0:25:43) Al: Was that just a really long way of getting to that phrase? (0:25:45) Codey: I actually had (0:25:46) Codey: not even thought be gay do crime you said it and I was like oh my god but yeah yeah be gay do crime (0:25:55) Al: Oh dear, am I going to be brave enough to put that as the title for this episode? (0:25:59) Codey: please please i’m gonna add it in to mention it and everything (0:26:07) Al: Oh dear. (0:26:08) Codey: too pixelly I think I think i’ve had it with delays though so let’s maybe (0:26:12) Al: Well, have I got an exciting update for you. (0:26:15) Al: Gogotown have announced that their build and bustle update is technically not out right now, (0:26:21) Al: but it will be out by the time this episode comes out. (0:26:24) Al: I think it’s out in like three or four hours as we’re recording. (0:26:28) Codey: Oh sweet, okay. (0:26:30) Al: Because it’s Monday in Australia. (0:26:30) Codey: Which… (0:26:33) Codey: Oh yeah. (0:26:34) Codey: If I remember correctly, some of the things they’re adding (0:26:37) Codey: are things that you thought they should add, right? (0:26:40) Al: Yes, so they are, big things about this are that they, so it’s called the build and bustle update. (0:26:49) Al: They have the ability to buy more land to expand the town, which is good. And they are again saying (0:26:55) Al: that you can customize the industry zones. We still don’t have a huge amount of detail of that (0:26:59) Al: as far as I can see. They do talk about, I’ve seen something on their Twitter about moving (0:27:05) Al: the items within the zone, but not about, I’ve not seen anything about, (0:27:10) Al: moving the industry zone, which is, I mean, it could be just the one thing that makes me think (0:27:18) Al: that might not be what they’re doing is because there are big things that are like part of the (0:27:22) Al: ground, right? Like there’s a cave, which is part of the, which is the industry zone for the mining. (0:27:27) Al: And it’s like, are they actually moving the cave? I guess we’ll find out when it actually comes out. (0:27:31) Codey: They discovered a new cave that looks exactly like the old cave. (0:27:35) Al: And the first cave filled itself in. (0:27:38) Codey: And there, yep, the old cave. We just didn’t like it anymore. It collapsed. (0:27:41) Al: It just collapsed. (0:27:44) Al: So yeah, I don’t know. I mean, maybe they’re just going, (0:27:47) Al: “It doesn’t matter. Suspension of disbelief. The cave will move.” (0:27:50) Codey: Yeah (0:27:51) Al: Which they can do. I just don’t know if they’re going to or not. We’ll see. (0:27:56) Al: Hopefully we’ll get some details pretty quickly after it comes out. (0:27:59) Al: And the other big thing is they’ve added a subway system. (0:28:04) Al: So you can have up to four lines on your subway, which is cool. (0:28:10) Al: That’s cool. Allowing people to get around the town more efficiently. (0:28:14) Al: Because this was a little bit of my worry. If you make it bigger, which it needs to be bigger, (0:28:15) Codey: Yeah. (0:28:17) Al: but if you make it bigger, do you have a problem where nobody gets to the outer bits? (0:28:22) Al: But hopefully, this just means that some of them will go to the stuff in the middle, (0:28:27) Al: and some of them will immediately jump on the subway and go to different parts of the town. (0:28:28) Codey: I guess, is the subway system like do you see yourself riding it or do you just be like (0:28:37) Codey: I want to go over here and then it just like fades to black and then you’re like yay I’m (0:28:42) Codey: over here now. (0:28:43) Al: I haven’t seen any video of it happening, but I have seen there are some screenshots (0:28:52) Al: of inside the subway station. So I feel like you’re at least kind of going into the subway (0:28:59) Al: and I guess we’ll see what that means. (0:29:02) Codey: I hope it’s authentic in that one of the subway systems is really really dirty and has a lot (0:29:09) Codey: of graffiti and then the central one is like pristine and clearly is the one that’s actually (0:29:15) Al: Not everywhere is the same as America, Cody. (0:29:16) Codey: because I hope it’s America realistic. America being a new verb that I just made. (0:29:24) Al: We have exactly one subway system in Scotland, and it is very nice. (0:29:29) Codey: It’s not real. (0:29:30) Al: It’s the third oldest subway in the world, fun fact. (0:29:32) Codey: That is super cool. (0:29:33) Al: Yeah. (0:29:34) Al: Do you know what two subways are older than it? (0:29:37) Codey: London Underground, maybe? (0:29:39) Al: That’s one of them. (0:29:40) Codey: Something in India. (0:29:41) Al: Nope. (0:29:42) Codey: Okay, I don’t know, I give up. (0:29:42) Al: I’m not gonna guess anymore (0:29:45) Al: you just guess guess no I’m pretty sure it was Bucharest but I’m just double (0:29:46) Codey: I genuinely don’t, I genuinely don’t know what else there was. (0:29:54) Al: checking no not Bucharest I was wrong failed Budapest Budapest so I was so (0:30:01) Codey: Though oh, yeah, okay cool (0:30:07) Al: close same thing Budapest Bucharest ah (0:30:09) Codey: Well, I love how I (0:30:12) Codey: Love how your guys is (0:30:14) Codey: Like more the OG than ours, but when people think of subway they think of our subways (0:30:22) Al: Do they now? (0:30:22) Codey: I mean if you ever see someone use a subway in any movie, it looks like (0:30:27) Al: In American movies? (0:30:28) Codey: The underworld movies which I think they’re supposed to be (0:30:32) Codey: have (0:30:32) Al: What’s that? Sorry, Underworld. It’s an American film. (0:30:35) Codey: It’s okay, it’s an American film, but it’s not supposed to be in (0:30:38) Al: Uh-huh. (0:30:40) Al: I’m sorry, American people make films that have American-looking things and is not a surprise. (0:30:48) Al: Is it now? (0:30:48) Codey: Wes Craven is rolling over in his grave right now. Actually I don’t know if he’s dead. Anyway! (0:30:48) Al: - Mm-hmm. (0:30:49) Al: Mm-hmm. (0:30:52) Al: They also are adding car parks and vehicle racks for all of your vehicles that you use, which is cool. (0:31:00) Al: Because I mean, I was just like leaving them in the middle of the street. (0:31:02) Al: I don’t know what to do with this. It just goes there. So that’s nice. (0:31:06) Al: And a bunch of new items. (0:31:10) Al: Well, so you have cars that are vehicles that you use and you have bikes that are vehicles that you use. (0:31:16) Al: So one presumably is like, yeah, a car park is like a parking lot, as you would call it, yeah. (0:31:16) Codey: OK. (0:31:18) Codey: Cool. (0:31:22) Al: It’s a park for your car and the vehicle racks will be for bikes and trikes and stuff like that. (0:31:28) Al: So, yeah, we’ll see what that’s like once it’s out. (0:31:32) Codey: a 1.1, I guess it wouldn’t be a 1.1, but a second harvest. (0:31:36) Al: Yeah, they’re just calling it the build and bustle update, which is the major update one. (0:31:42) Al: I don’t know if they’ve got a version numbering scheme or not. I haven’t looked. We’ll see, probably. (0:31:48) Codey: Don’t look it’s probably disappointing (0:31:50) Codey: Cool no no don’t look numbering schemes are awful (0:31:52) Al: I mean, you know that I’m looking, right? (0:31:56) Al: I can’t find it. You’re lucky. You’re saved this time. (0:31:59) Codey: It’s for the best (0:32:02) Al: Yeah, it probably is. Steam seems to be really kind of unsure as to how it actually shows you version numbers. (0:32:08) Codey: aren’t we all version numbers are just a myth. Oh no he found it. (0:32:10) Al: Oh, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. (0:32:12) Al: So minor update five was version number. Are you ready for this? 0.4, 0.53. (0:32:22) Al: 0.16416EA. (0:32:25) Codey: Oh, ‘cause it’s early access, right, right. (0:32:30) Al: So it’s yeah, I don’t know why. So presumably this will be 0.5 because all of the minor updates have been 0.4 point something. (0:32:40) Al: So 0.5 point zero point. And then the last bit is, I think, a build number. (0:32:46) Al: So it’ll be 0.5.0 point something. (0:32:52) Al: You don’t need to put the build number in your version number that you publish, just (0:32:55) Al: letting you know, but fine, you can do what you want. (0:32:58) Al: I’m not in charge of you. (0:33:02) Al: Next we have, for some reason, a new paid DLC for Havrest Moon Winds of Anthos. (0:33:07) Codey: It’ll bring people in. (0:33:08) Al: The Great Outdoors. (0:33:11) Al: The weird thing I guess is that like, they’ve just released a new game, and now they’re (0:33:15) Al: releasing DLC for their console game rather than their mobile game, and yeah, I don’t know. (0:33:22) Codey: I mean, I like the idea of this DLC. (0:33:22) Al: Yeah, sure, so it’s a camping one, basically. (0:33:28) Al: You can go out and first of all, you can find treasure out and about, but you can also camp, (0:33:34) Al: so you can have a tent and camp wherever you are, so you don’t have to go home to sleep, (0:33:38) Al: which is cool. (0:33:38) Codey: I do like that a lot. (0:33:39) Al: We’re like this, yeah. (0:33:40) Codey: These games where you have to run all the way back home (0:33:42) Al: Yeah, yep. (0:33:42) Codey: are really flipping annoying. (0:33:45) Al: It doesn’t make the game fun, but it does, it would be, in a game that actually is fun (0:33:50) Al: come to play, this would be a nice addition. (0:33:52) Al: Look, if they want to make a game fun to play I will say it’s fun to play. You can (0:33:53) Codey: - The shade. (0:34:02) Al: also take… Oh yes, so apparently they’re also adding a new robot that will take care (0:34:08) Al: of your pets and animals while you’re away, so that’s cool. And then you can also take (0:34:14) Al: animals with you on your adventures, and I see there’s a screenshot of you with a bear, (0:34:20) Al: like just sitting by a big breath. (0:34:22) Al: Brown bear. I don’t think that’s safe. (0:34:22) Codey: Yep. They said that it’s not 100% do not condone sitting next to a bear ever, mostly because then if something happens and if the bear attacks you, then it becomes the bear’s problem, which is not great. (0:34:39) Codey: Yeah, I like the idea. They all it also mentions that like depending on which pet like each pet has a different boost or like benefit of coming with you. (0:34:49) Codey: no idea about the details of that, but maybe like. (0:34:52) Codey: It’s like, oh, if you bring this dog, this dog with you, they might find something. (0:34:56) Codey: Or I don’t know, but I think that’s cool. (0:35:01) Codey: And I just like the idea of not having to like end it at your house. (0:35:05) Codey: Cause like, what if you’re in the mines and you just really want to be in the mines, (0:35:10) Codey: but it’s getting to that time of night and you can just like go back to the (0:35:12) Codey: entrance of the mines and just camp. (0:35:14) Codey: And then when you open, when you like start the day again, you’re just at your camp. (0:35:18) Al: Yeah, I agree. I agree. The robot seems to be one that you put in your barn, and it will (0:35:25) Al: do all the kind of tasks that you want it to do, which is, I mean, good, but, you know, (0:35:30) Al: Stardew has had that for six years. So yeah, cool. That is coming out on the 3rd of October, (0:35:37) Al: and it is $10. Also, I hope the robot isn’t required to have the paid DLC. That’s bad. (0:35:40) Codey: I don’t know if I’d pay that, but… (0:35:46) Al: add quality of life improvements. (0:35:49) Al: Add content in DLC, bad boo, don’t do that. (0:35:54) Al: Next we have the Lens Island controllers and Steam Deck update. (0:35:58) Al: Hey Cody, can you guess what update, what this brings? (0:36:02) Codey: I think that it brings gay crime. (0:36:07) Codey: No, that’s super cool. (0:36:08) Codey: You’ve been wanting a steam deck compatibility, right? (0:36:12) Al: Yes. (0:36:12) Codey: Is this– are you going to start playing it now? (0:36:14) Al: Well, no, at this point, I’m just going to wait for 1.0, which is meant to come out, (0:36:15) Codey: Yeah, that’s– I’m the same. (0:36:17) Codey: I’m– yeah. (0:36:18) Al: this year, so it’s definitely, yeah, no, I’m waiting for 1.0 at this point. (0:36:19) Codey: Yeah. (0:36:22) Codey: They’re still making progress. (0:36:23) Codey: It’s really cool. (0:36:25) Codey: They also have said that now, if you put a bed in the dungeon, (0:36:30) Codey: This is a very… (0:36:32) Codey: similar to what we were just talking about. (0:36:33) Codey: If you put a bed in the dungeon, and then you die in the dungeon, (0:36:36) Codey: you actually respawn in the bed instead of, like, all the way back at your house. (0:36:39) Codey: Which is pretty neat. (0:36:40) Codey: Uh, and then they also said that they fixed, um, (0:36:44) Codey: apparently some of the enemies were targeting your bed, (0:36:46) Codey: and would damage your bed. (0:36:48) Codey: And, like, break your bed. (0:36:48) Al: Hahahahaha! (0:36:49) Codey: Which, honestly, kind of funny. (0:36:50) Al: Don’t break my badge! (0:36:50) Al: Hahaha! (0:36:51) Al: Hahaha! (0:36:53) Codey: Kind of wish that was still in there. (0:36:55) Codey: Like, you put a bed down, and then you gotta protect your bed. (0:36:56) Al: Hahaha! (0:37:00) Codey: I mean because if I was an enemy and i (0:37:02) Codey: saw someone lay a bed down i’m tagging that bed down like you don’t get to (0:37:06) Codey: respawn there again you gotta go walk your butt all the way back to the (0:37:09) Codey: beginning of the dungeon no no bed in the beginning but yeah (0:37:13) Codey: no so the enemies will no longer target your bed (0:37:16) Codey: um you can respawn I they just keep they’re really on (0:37:20) Codey: on it with these uh updates for this game and just (0:37:23) Codey: it has come so far and i’m so excited to play it when it’s a 1.0 (0:37:28) Al: Yeah, maybe this should be my, like, December game. Maybe. We’ll see. I mean, I already own it, (0:37:32) Codey: yeah (0:37:35) Codey: yep (0:37:35) Al: right? So I just need the time. So I think that I couldn’t find this when I tried to look for it, (0:37:40) Codey: happy holidays to you (0:37:48) Al: but I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere that this was their last update before the 1.0. (0:37:54) Al: But I can’t, I couldn’t find it when I tried to look for it. So maybe it was on Twitter or (0:37:59) Al: I dare not speak the name of. Well, it’s not the name of it, is it? (0:38:01) Codey: after speaking the name of. (0:38:04) Codey: Oh, you’re right, you’re right. (0:38:07) Al: OK, and finally, we also have Danchi Days. So we mentioned this in the last episode. This is the (0:38:15) Al: kind of Game Boy inspired 2D summer, Japanese summer game. They (0:38:26) Al: replied on YouTube to say that they (0:38:28) Al: have just launched their Steam page. So we’ll have that as a link in the show notes for you, (0:38:34) Al: and there’s a few more kind of screenshots and stuff like that. And the new information I get (0:38:40) Al: from this is they say the aim of the game is to invite 151 people to a summer festival. (0:38:47) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:38:49) Codey: For a lot of people who play Game Boy games (0:38:52) Codey: and hear the number 151, I don’t think so. (0:38:54) Al: Yep. Coincidental number? I probably think not. (0:38:59) Codey: But it is cool. (0:38:59) Codey: You are basically– you use the internet and the social media (0:39:03) Codey: to try and understand what those 151 people like. (0:39:08) Codey: They are actual people. (0:39:10) Codey: I mean, some of them might not be people. (0:39:11) Codey: You have a duck buddy. (0:39:13) Codey: But, um, oh. (0:39:14) Al: Docks are people, T. (0:39:16) Codey: Awwww. (0:39:17) Codey: I’ll be darned um so uh you use like social media and kind of like learn try and find see what (0:39:25) Codey: people like and make sure that they have it at the event and befriend them and invite them to (0:39:30) Codey: the summer event um it’s basically teaching people to be um advertisers (0:39:36) Al: Yeah and each of the different, so you have different the people you want to (0:39:40) Al: invite all have different websites because it’s very much set in the 90s (0:39:43) Al: right? So everyone has to have their own website and they all seem to have quite (0:39:47) Al: a lot of personalities so like there’s someone who’s an entrepreneur and then (0:39:51) Al: there’s someone who likes water and then there’s someone who’s like rules are (0:39:54) Al: meaningless do whatever you want and they just have three buttons that say do (0:39:57) Al: not press and then you can press the buttons. So yeah it looks like they’re (0:40:02) Al: all kind of quite unique, which is fun. I suspect 150. (0:40:06) Al: One of them won’t be unique, but there’s at least, you know, some personality there, which is cool. (0:40:07) Codey: Right. (0:40:10) Codey: I did, it did make me laugh like looking at it (0:40:12) Codey: ‘cause it says it’s a Y2K inspired game. (0:40:15) Codey: And that, (0:40:16) Al: Oh, so it does. Yeah, so not 90s. Sorry. 2000. I was I was close. (0:40:19) Codey: yeah, I mean, that’s late 90s. (0:40:23) Codey: But yeah, it made me laugh like to see that (0:40:23) Al: Don’t do this. Don’t do (0:40:28) Codey: press any button you want, like style thing. (0:40:31) Codey: ‘Cause that era was the era of like the impossible game (0:40:37) Codey: online that you were supposed to do (0:40:39) Codey: all these different things. (0:40:40) Codey: And if you do one thing wrong, (0:40:41) Codey: you’re set back to the beginning. (0:40:42) Codey: And it was just really silly things, (0:40:46) Codey: like hit the smallest circle (0:40:49) Codey: and it’s the dot on the eye and stuff like that. (0:40:51) Codey: Or another game that was really popular at that time (0:40:53) Codey: was Don’t Shoot the Puppy. (0:40:55) Codey: And it was literally, if you move your, (0:40:58) Codey: you start the game and if you move your mouse (0:40:59) Codey: that all this giant machine gun shoots a puppy. (0:41:02) Codey: So you literally just have to like click the button (0:41:04) Codey: and then do nothing until… (0:41:07) Codey: you can click the button again and classic Y2K game so it captures the vibe (0:41:11) Al: classic. We had one that we played in my school where we were - it was literally just (0:41:19) Al: a button that you press and it increases the number, kind of like the one in the thing. (0:41:23) Codey: Yeah like cookie clicker. (0:41:23) Al: And so we would like all be sitting - yeah, it was kind of like a clip but there was no like (0:41:27) Al: expansion to it. It was literally just number, one number, one click. And so we would like (0:41:33) Al: try and play it like in our computing classes without the teacher noticing and just see who (0:41:36) Al: who could get the biggest number in one period. (0:41:41) Al: It was… (0:41:42) Codey: back in our day kids you just clicked a button as many times as you could and that was entertainment (0:41:48) Al: Or in the case of “Don’t Shoot the Puppy” didn’t click a button! (0:41:51) Codey: or didn’t click a button and that was and you just watched this puppy and it went in one of (0:41:56) Codey: them it was like one of the things that like brought up the button that was like start the (0:42:01) Codey: level or whatever and then you’re like oh I forgot to click it and then you move the thing (0:42:05) Codey: and then it shoots the puppy and it’s like ah I didn’t forget to click it it just got me (0:42:09) Codey: me. (0:42:10) Al: And then there was the stuff with like Webull’s stuff, the cartoon, the flash. (0:42:12) Codey: No, weebles. (0:42:14) Al: Yeah, classic. (0:42:16) Codey: Uh. (0:42:17) Al: Anyway, we’re going to stop being nostalgic here. (0:42:19) Codey: What? (0:42:23) Al: That’s all the news. (0:42:24) Codey: Whoo! (0:42:26) Al: We do have three new games as well to cover. (0:42:28) Codey: Whoo. (0:42:31) Al: Wow. (0:42:32) Al: First of all, we have Sea Sniffers. (0:42:34) Al: All right, here we go. (0:42:36) Al: Sea Sniffers is a cosy diving game in (0:42:40) Al: the ocean with your trusty sea companion encounter strange creatures and exotic (0:42:44) Al: treasures and nearly nearly said a different word than exotic in sunken (0:42:49) Al: ships or hidden caves discover the deep sea and all its secrets. (0:42:54) Al: And I need to do my usual don’t call your game cosy. (0:42:56) Al: You don’t get to decide that. (0:42:57) Al: Yeah. (0:42:58) Codey: Also, don’t call your game cozy (0:42:58) Al: You. (0:42:59) Codey: when that seal is throwing hands. (0:43:03) Codey: That seal, like to fight off people (0:43:07) Codey: but also to like harvest things, (0:43:10) Codey: it just seems to punch. (0:43:12) Al: It is an interesting level of cosy, I will say, in the, you know, obviously a game doesn&a

Apologies, we've been having issues with our feed, so this is why this is just now being posted. * This was originally recorded on 07/01/2024 *It is yet another week in Video Games and the summer of Elden Ring continues as Marc has been playing more of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. However, this week he's also been playing the Director's Cut version of another game he enjoyed very much, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. In other news, Nintendo has a stocking plan to stop the potential of resellers and bots from buying up preorders of the Switch 2. Will this actually work? Is most of this just inevitable at this point with the way technology is? Or do they have a point that there is no longer an inhibitor to ensuring enough Switch 2's to go around? Also more of the usual gambit of stuff that's been the norm for gaming as more remakes have been announced or confirmed to be coming in the form of Dead Rising and an abundance of Assassin's Creed remakes. Not to mention, Ubisoft also added to the layoff tally as well. Xbox adds another device to its Cloud Gaming portfolio, One Piece Netflix Season 2 casting and release details, and more!

On Windows Weekly, Moment 5 has arrived as a Preview Update, Windows 10 gets a preview update, and Microsoft announces the Surface Pro 10 & Surface Laptop 6 for Business at a digital event. Designer and Copilot are coming to the Microsoft 365 mobile app. Would Microsoft develop a Windows-based gaming handheld device? And Canva acquires Affinity. Windows Moment 5 arrives as a Preview Update right on schedule - it's Week D, etc. Microsoft previously described this schedule in its DMA compliance documentation, and noted that it would be fully deployed in stable by the end of April. Quick raise of hands: Did you think this was already available? You're not alone. But ... you know. Microsoft. Oh, and there's a preview update for Windows 10 too. Because come on Microsoft. Don't worry, that lock screen nonsense in Windows 10 is coming to Windows 11 too. Qualcomm claims that most Windows games will "just work" on its X Elite processor. How? Chromium accepts Microsoft commit that will improve Chrome/Chromium text rendering on Windows. Google Chrome comes to Windows on Arm, instantly legitimatizing the platform. Surface Microsoft announces Surface Pro 10, Surface Laptop 6. For businesses, only - Intel Core Ultra-based. Consumer versions based on X Elite to follow in May, according to reliable rumors. It's first "AI PCs," supposedly. But now we know why they are using that terminology, and it's stupid. (Related, Intel has its own definitions for what makes a PC an AI PC.) This was billed as an AI event, "the new era of work," but there was NO news for Windows or Copilot. None. Why is that? One word: Momentum. AI In the wake of Microsoft AI reorg (a NeXT-style takeover), a key Microsoft exec says no and steps aside, will likely leave the company Microsoft Teams is gaining new AI capabilities because, duh, of course it is Designer and Copilot are coming to the Microsoft 365 mobile app - Two more checkmarks for that grid of Copilot capabilities Our developer show schedule is complete: Apple to host WWDC 2024 in June, following Google I/O and Build in May Samsung spreads Galaxy A1 to more devices starting tomorrow in the US Xbox It's finally happening: Diablo IV will be the first Activision Blizzard game on Xbox Game Pass when it goes live tomorrow. Phil Spencer says Windows is wrong for gaming handhelds, thinks an Xbox would be better. Xbox is testing mouse and keyboard support for Cloud Gaming. Tips and Picks Tip of the week: Arc browser just became more viable on Windows. App pick of the week: Affinity Photo 2 Also: Proton Pass now supports (portable) passkeys. And it's free. RunAs Radio this week: GitHub for SysAdmins with April Edwards. Brown liquor pick of the week: Stauning Kaos Danish Whisky.
