Podcasts about Dalan

In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Amy Floyd and Everett Hendrixon of Dalan Animal Health back to the podcast to discuss the latest developments surrounding honey bee vaccination. With spring queen orders underway, many beekeepers are exploring the option of vaccinated queens to help protect their colonies from brood diseases and beyond. Amy, head of beekeeper relations and a former USDA researcher, shares her journey into beekeeping and how she came to work with Dalan. Everett, Dalan's sales manager, offers insights into the commercial side of introducing this new technology to the industry. Together, they provide updates on the AFB vaccine's acceptance and distribution, and importantly, highlight emerging evidence that the vaccine may also help reduce other serious threats, including deformed wing virus (DWV), chalkbrood, and sacbrood. The episode dives into how the vaccine works—not with needles, but via queen candy—and explains the principle of transgenerational immune priming. The team also explores recent field trials demonstrating up to 90% reduction in DWV, even in colonies with similar varroa levels, and how these unexpected benefits may shift how beekeepers think about disease prevention. Whether you're a hobbyist or a sideliner considering new management tools this season, this episode offers valuable context on one of the most exciting health innovations for honey bees today.

Online beekeeping education has come a long way—and the University of Montana is leading the way. In this episode, Jeff and Becky talk with Dr. Scott Debnam, head beekeeper and lead instructor for UM's Online Master Beekeeping Program, about how the program has evolved over the past 12 years and why it continues to grow. Scott shares how the program balances science-based instruction with practical application. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all approach, students learn honey bee biology and colony ecology so they can make informed decisions that fit their goals, values, and local conditions. The program's three levels—apprentice, journeyman, and master—are structured to build experience over time, with engaging lectures, moderated forums, and even student-led research. Students come from across the U.S. and over 25 countries, and their questions, experience, and feedback shape the program's dynamic learning environment. Scott's enthusiasm for teaching and his love for bees are front and center in this conversation, which highlights the value of structured learning, community interaction, and lifelong curiosity in becoming a better beekeeper.

In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff and Becky welcome an extraordinary young researcher, Vince Wu, a high school senior and Davidson Fellow Scholarship winner. Vince's groundbreaking research combines artificial intelligence and honey bee foraging behavior, using radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking and deep learning models to predict how weather influences bee foraging activity. Vince's project, which started as a personal exploration of beekeeping and science, turned into a sophisticated study that gathered over 50,000 data points. He tracked individual foraging flights across three hives using RFID tags and monitored concurrent weather conditions to build predictive models. His findings provide insight into how sunlight, temperature, and other environmental factors influence honey bee foraging. Before diving into Vince's research, Dr. Dewey Caron shares another insightful audio postcard, this time focusing on winter colony losses and the importance of performing necropsies on deadouts. He explains how beekeepers can better understand colony mortality by examining key indicators such as starvation, small winter clusters, and Varroa mite infestations. Dewey also discusses recent survey results on colony losses, highlighting the ongoing challenges beekeepers face in maintaining healthy colonies. If you've ever wondered how technology is shaping the future of beekeeping and pollination science, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

(0:00:34) Al: My name is Al, and we are here today to talk about cottagecore games. (0:00:35) Dalan: And my name is Dallen (0:00:43) Al: I honestly thought it was Dalen, not Dalen. (0:00:46) Dalan: Uh it that I do get that a lot it is it is Dallen (0:00:49) Dalan: Uh, it’s mostly the way it’s spelled. I think that confuses people. Uh, it is more common to have double li (0:00:53) Al: » Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that one. Not spelling, either. (0:00:56) Dalan: Instead of the two a’s so that’s that’s the main reason (0:01:03) Dalan: I have met… one person who spells… (0:01:05) Dalan: it the same as me and that was in Utah where there are about 50 people named (0:01:10) Dalan: Dalin Persuarian. It’s not quite that populous but yeah. (0:01:12) Al: Right, okay, so I see the issue, I see why it’s not a name that I am very much aware (0:01:20) Dalan: Yes. It’s… there is a particular culture. Yeah. So I’m always surprised finding (0:01:20) Al: of if it’s within a particular community, very prevalent within a certain area of the (0:01:24) Al: United States. Yeah, they do exist outside of there. It’s funny, because sometimes I (0:01:28) Dalan: people outside that place who have the same name and I’m like come on. They do (0:01:35) Dalan: because it is the name other people have. (0:01:38) Al: only realise how people’s names are pronounced when they come on the podcast. (0:01:41) Dalan: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Nami, I had that problem for a while. Yeah. I have to remind myself (0:01:42) Al: It was the same with Nami, who of course, that’s not how I pronounced his name for a long time. (0:01:49) Dalan: sometimes. Sorry, Nami. (0:01:52) Al: Regularly, regularly. (0:01:53) Dalan: Yeah. (0:01:54) Al: Anyway, welcome, Dallin, to the podcast again. This is your second episode. (0:01:57) Dalan: Thank you. Second time. Only took like a little bit over a year, I think. I was (0:02:04) Dalan: here. (0:02:05) Dalan: 2023 August ish or September I want to say it was fishing month yep yep because I was the only (0:02:08) Al: It was the fishing month, wasn’t it? (0:02:12) Dalan: other person who owned a play date that you do yeah yeah I have not touched that in a long time (0:02:14) Al: Oh, that’s it. Yeah, we did the Playdate one. That’s what it was. That was good. (0:02:20) Al: We should see if there are any more Playdate games to play. (0:02:23) Dalan: that would be fun yeah I’ll figure out one where I put it and then to uh charge it I brought it (0:02:28) Al: Yeah, I need to charge mine up. Thankfully, mine is here. I have it in my hand because it just (0:02:30) Dalan: I think I brought it with me - oh, that’s nice. (0:02:33) Al: sits on my desk. I know where it is, but it’s not charged because I don’t have the dock that (0:02:36) Dalan: Mmm, the dock still… probably not, no. (0:02:38) Al: I have to release any more. (0:02:40) Dalan: I, uh, I think I took it with me to the Japan trip I went on this summer. (0:02:45) Dalan: Or, I can’t remember if I did and then never used it or if I was like, “Yeah, no, I’m not gonna use that and left it home.” (0:02:46) Al: hmm fair enough anyway so dallan is here to talk to me about a game that I have definitely (0:02:51) Dalan: What did it do? Either way, I did not play it. (0:03:01) Al: not played and a name that i’m definitely going to mix up the order of words in the name because (0:03:01) Dalan: Yes. (0:03:06) Dalan: That’s okay. (0:03:08) Al: it is definitely the wrong order but this game is called honkai impact third right it’s (0:03:13) Dalan: That is correct. (0:03:16) Al: not third impact it’s impact third is it the third impact game (0:03:17) Dalan: No, because, well, no. (0:03:24) Dalan: It is the third Hong Kai game maybe, kind of. (0:03:27) Al: maybe interesting (0:03:30) Dalan: We’ll get, I’ll go into that a little bit about how crazy that all is. (0:03:31) Al: yeah we’ll talk about we’ll talk about that when we talk about it (0:03:36) Al: for some reason we’re going to talk about a honkai game uh we’ll (0:03:39) Dalan: I’m as confused as you are, listeners. (0:03:42) Dalan: But, you know, slow, I did, I did, I didn’t think you would take me up on it. (0:03:43) Al: You suggested it, not me. (0:03:46) Al: You said it. (0:03:47) Dalan: But there is enough to talk about. (0:03:49) Dalan: So I, and I will be trying to focus mostly just on the farming stuff. (0:03:54) Dalan: Because there are many things I could blab about. (0:03:57) Dalan: And I need you to hold me back. (0:04:00) Al: I mean, look, I’ll be honest, if someone comes to me and says, “How about a podcast (0:04:04) Al: episode on this?” and it even tangentially connects to the podcast, I will say yes, (0:04:10) Al: because as I’ve said before, the hardest part of this podcast is not the editing, (0:04:15) Al: it’s not the podcasting, it’s not the news, it is not the actual recording, (0:04:20) Al: it is figuring out which episode is going to be which. (0:04:24) Dalan: I’ll take a note of it. I have a couple of games that I’ve played recently that I think could fit into that, so we’ll also see if those will come up in future episodes. (0:04:36) Dalan: Do we want to talk about what we’ve been up to lately then? (0:04:36) Al: it’s fine. Yeah, let’s do it. What have you been up to? (0:04:40) Dalan: Yeah, so I am trying to enjoy the last pieces of my holidays before I go back to the college grind to have some other stuff I’ve been working on. (0:04:54) Dalan: So most of the games I’m writing are kind of like last week, but I’ve played a little bit this week. (0:05:00) Dalan: I have obviously been playing Honkai games because those are relevant to what we’re talking about. (0:05:08) Dalan: I also started Potioncraft recently because during the holidays we remembered the family steam-sharing thing got updated, and I guess one of my siblings bought it at some point. (0:05:20) Dalan: So I’ve been playing that. Are you familiar with Potioncraft at all? (0:05:22) Al: And I think I’ve heard of it, I don’t know if I’ve, I don’t know if I’ve actually. (0:05:26) Dalan: Right. (0:05:28) Dalan: Yeah, I find it a pretty relaxing game. (0:05:32) Dalan: There were a couple nights where I was just kind of playing it an hour each night before bed. I could see myself kind of continuing that. (0:05:40) Dalan: It’s basically a game where you make potions, but the way you do that is interesting, where you basically have this map that you’re moving around your little potion on. (0:05:54) Dalan: You’re putting in different ingredients that have set patterns, and so you’re trying to put in the right ingredients to get to the location on the map you want to in order to get the potion. (0:06:06) Dalan: And so it’s mostly that gameplay and then balancing that with how do I get more materials to make my potions and then selling them to customers and stuff. (0:06:16) Dalan: Pretty relaxed. I think I made it to like day eight or something. There’s a progress system, but it’s basically just like, “Have you made these kinds of potions?” (0:06:26) Dalan: “Did you discover being able to do this thing?” So it’s pretty open, I’d say. (0:06:30) Al: I like the look of the graphics, it’s very distinct. (0:06:34) Dalan: It’s very… Yes, it’s got a nice feel to it. I think they did just have an update, which I was surprised by. I think this past December, like last month, I’m not certain. (0:06:46) Dalan: It seemed like it was what it said on the store page when I looked it up. (0:06:48) Al: But yeah, it’s almost like it’s on like old parchment paper, it’s like kind of CPR based, (0:06:54) Al: just I really like the look of the farming looks like it could be fun. (0:06:54) Dalan: Yeah. There is a bit of farming, yes. (0:07:00) Al: It looks very simple. It’s basically just it’s more gardening, I guess, (0:07:02) Dalan: Yes. Yeah, it’s basically like you get your materials for the day and then you water them every day, etc. (0:07:04) Al: rather than farming, right? You’re planting. Yeah. (0:07:12) Dalan: You can plant new things, and I think they added more functionality to kind of expand it, but I am not at that point in the game. (0:07:20) Al: But what I will say is the actual potion making looks like I would absolutely. (0:07:24) Dalan: I see also just finicky (0:07:28) Al: I do not like the kind of very specific motions and having to do that. (0:07:35) Al: I think that sort of stuff is fun in one very specific circumstance and that’s in party (0:07:40) Al: games. (0:07:41) Dalan: Yeah (0:07:42) Al: So I will play Mario Party and WarioWare anytime somebody suggests them to do these little (0:07:45) Dalan: Right (0:07:48) Al: weird motions and stuff. (0:07:50) Al: I know it’s not like motion control, I know you’re using your mouse, but I don’t want (0:07:55) Al: have to pick up a pestle and mortar it. (0:07:58) Al: And I don’t want to have to stir a cauldron and pour it, no, it’s too detailed and specific (0:08:04) Dalan: All right (0:08:07) Al: for me, I think. (0:08:08) Dalan: Yeah, that’s fair enough I will say like the (0:08:11) Dalan: The fact that you’re able to add water to kind of mess with that that is the core gameplay (0:08:16) Dalan: So if it doesn’t interest you probably none of the quality of life things they’re adding to it are gonna change that for you (0:08:22) Dalan: But there are some nice things where it’s like once you have a potion that you like like if you made really strong version (0:08:28) Dalan: Of a potion and you’re like that was annoying to do but I want to have that a lot (0:08:31) Dalan: you can save it and it will just automatically make it with the increase. (0:08:34) Dalan: for you so it’s more about like kind of exploring the map and discovering new (0:08:39) Dalan: things and then being like oh is there like a more optimized route I can take (0:08:42) Dalan: to this to you know cut back on ingredients or something so but yes (0:08:47) Dalan: that’s there’s some finicky-ness to it so if you don’t enjoy that you probably (0:08:52) Dalan: yeah I don’t think any of the changes are really gonna fix that for you (0:08:54) Al: Yeah, it’s like, it’s like when every time I hear about a new Soulslike game, I’m like, (0:09:01) Dalan: Mm. Right. (0:09:02) Al: sounds great. I’m still not going to like it because I do not like the fundamental part (0:09:07) Al: of the game. And so I’m not going to try it. Except one, there is one that has interested (0:09:10) Dalan: Right. (0:09:13) Al: me and that’s another crab’s treasure. That’s something the only Soulslike that has ever (0:09:15) Dalan: Ah, true. (0:09:18) Dalan: Yeah, I think that one… (0:09:20) Dalan: It’s… I mean just by visuals it seems more friendly, and then also I think like… (0:09:25) Dalan: um… (0:09:26) Dalan: The problem I tend to have with Soul’s likes is that like I want to do (0:09:30) Dalan: a build that works, but it… and for my playstyle, but it feels like a battle to figure out what I enjoy (0:09:36) Dalan: while also (0:09:38) Dalan: trying not to waste all my materials on making some (0:09:40) Dalan: things I won’t like to play, so, a little, a little stressful. (0:09:42) Al: It has a lot more options as well in terms of difficulty and stuff, which I quite like. (0:09:50) Dalan: Mmm, that’s nice. (0:09:51) Al: Not that I’m going to use them necessarily, I’m not going to use them, because I love (0:09:56) Al: how it kind of ties them in in the same way where it’s got like the easy mode is basically (0:10:01) Al: just you have a gun that sits on your head that kills anybody. (0:10:02) Dalan: you’re right that’s good (0:10:04) Al: I love how ridiculous that is. (0:10:05) Al: I’m not going to use that, but having that leads me to liking it more purely because (0:10:10) Al: it allows me for more. (0:10:12) Al: around those options, because there’s just been thought gone into that, which, which then leads (0:10:19) Al: to a game that I’m more likely to like. So it’s not, I don’t know if that’s if that’s obvious enough (0:10:25) Al: how I’m explaining it, but yeah, but I think that the the idea of actually having difficulty options (0:10:32) Al: generally leads to a game being designed more like I would enjoy it. (0:10:36) Dalan: Mm. That makes sense. It’s, uh, having, like, more flexible design or ways to interact with it versus feeling like there’s sort of one path you have to take. (0:10:48) Dalan: Maybe that’s not the right way to put it, but I kind of get what you’re saying. (0:10:49) Al: Yeah, I don’t know. It’s hard to explain. But like, if we just took a, you know, standards (0:10:58) Al: Souls game, like Elden Ring, right? So we take Elden Ring. If you just put a difficulty (0:11:03) Al: level in that, that I don’t think I would enjoy that game, because it’s still the same (0:11:07) Dalan: Right. (0:11:08) Al: game is just easier, right? Like it’s not, I don’t just, I don’t dislike those games (0:11:09) Dalan: Yeah. (0:11:10) Dalan: Yeah, 100%. (0:11:11) Dalan: It’s not built around that. (0:11:14) Al: because they’re hard. I dislike those games because of their whole philosophy. (0:11:19) Al: And it just feels like another crab’s treasure does that differently. (0:11:20) Dalan: Right, 100%. (0:11:25) Al: Anyway, potion craft. (0:11:26) Dalan: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me. (0:11:29) Al: Yeah, maybe. (0:11:29) Dalan: Yep, that’s Potion Craft. (0:11:32) Dalan: I could see that being an episode topic at some point, (0:11:34) Dalan: But anyway, I– (0:11:36) Dalan: Started Warframe recently. Well, that’s maybe– (0:11:40) Dalan: Started is maybe the wrong word. (0:11:42) Dalan: So… (0:11:44) Dalan: This game– Are you familiar with this game at all? (0:11:46) Al: I am not. (0:11:48) Dalan: Okay, Warframe… It’s kind of like– Are you familiar with Destiny? (0:11:53) Al: I am aware of it and I have seen some gameplay. (0:11:56) Dalan: Okay, we’ll do the most basic version. Warframe is Space Ninjas. That’s pretty much the game. (0:12:02) Dalan: You go around space, you fight things with friends, and (0:12:06) Dalan: materials to upgrade your things, and it is a completely for you to play game. (0:12:12) Dalan: All the money you spend is for cosmetics and, like, (0:12:15) Dalan: speeding up timers, which are basically just crafting things. So it’s– (0:12:21) Dalan: Has been going for a long time, so much so that the first time I played it was actually in 2013. (0:12:26) Dalan: And… (0:12:27) Al: Yeah, this game says it was released in March 2013. It was released two days after my first child was born. (0:12:30) Dalan: Yes. (0:12:35) Dalan: Yeah, yeah, and (0:12:35) Al: Yeah. (0:12:36) Dalan: I was solidly still a child at this point. (0:12:40) Dalan: The reason I didn’t stick around with it is, (0:12:43) Dalan: one, it was a bit overwhelming, (0:12:45) Dalan: and I don’t know if my computer could handle it at the time. (0:12:47) Dalan: And two, I believe maybe a week prior, (0:12:50) Dalan: I had told my mother that I was not interested (0:12:53) Dalan: in playing an M-rated game ever, and she hugged me. (0:12:55) Al: Yeah, well, I tell my mom I don’t swear, so. (0:12:56) Dalan: And then this game was M-rated, (0:12:58) Dalan: and I immediately felt strong feelings of guilt (0:13:01) Dalan: for being like, “This is kind of fun.” (0:13:05) Dalan: so I did not return that. (0:13:06) Dalan: I’m playing it on the television, and currently living with family, and no stinks have been raised. (0:13:19) Al: There are other things you do to disappoint them instead, that’s the thing. (0:13:21) Dalan: Yes, yes, very true. (0:13:23) Dalan: Like living in their basement. (0:13:25) Al: If you’re worried about how someone thinks about a certain thing that you do, (0:13:28) Al: just do something worse. That’s how it works, right? (0:13:30) Dalan: True. Yeah, I think that is the best method. (0:13:34) Dalan: Anyway, but yeah, I started playing that because we had (0:13:37) Dalan: My sister and her husband came over for the holidays and (0:13:42) Dalan: Her husband’s been playing it a lot longer (0:13:44) Dalan: But my sister was like I want to download this to see if we can play it because I can’t play it on my laptop (0:13:48) Dalan: And she kind of gave up on that pretty quick because she didn’t like the controller (0:13:53) Dalan: Inputs, but I was like oh this game’s kind of fun (0:13:55) Dalan: So I might be playing with that that with them in the future which would be fun because I don’t get to hang out with (0:14:01) Dalan: Them as much anymore on the count of them living in a different place (0:14:05) Dalan: So yeah warframe not (0:14:07) Dalan: But that’s interesting game and then there are lots of other games I could talk about but I’ll just quickly mention (0:14:14) Dalan: 1000 I think it’s x resist. I don’t know if it’s times or what I don’t know what it means yet (0:14:19) Dalan: But that is a game. I should be playing more of it’s just (0:14:24) Dalan: Draining because it’s a very involved sci-fi story that I want to soak in. Have you heard of it? (0:14:29) Al: Fair enough. No, I have not even heard of this game, no. (0:14:30) Dalan: Also, let me pull it out all the strange games (0:14:36) Dalan: Was like a game that was popular in a couple circles (0:14:38) Al: Oh, this is one of the ones that was added to Bellatro. (0:14:42) Dalan: Yes, yes, it was there I do remember that yeah, so this is like this is sort of a far future sci-fi story (0:14:51) Dalan: it’s (0:14:52) Dalan: kind of some people might kind of put it in the realm of a walking sim I guess but it’s it’s (0:14:58) Dalan: Interesting. It’s a lot of going around talking to characters and it has some interesting kind of time (0:15:05) Dalan: Compilation mechanics where you’re flipping back (0:15:06) Dalan: and forth between different scenes sometimes to find different information or go places. (0:15:12) Dalan: So there’s a little bit of that but the gameplay mechanics mostly serve as a catalyst for the story (0:15:17) Dalan: and like what’s going on. The basic premise I’ll say is that it seems to be a far off future where (0:15:27) Dalan: everyone is now like clones of this one person who could survive this deadly illness and you’re (0:15:33) Dalan: playing as this person called the (0:15:36) Dalan: watcher because everyone is named by (0:15:38) Dalan: their roles and you’re trying to you’re (0:15:42) Dalan: kind of figuring out what happened in (0:15:44) Dalan: the past and it seems like that’s going (0:15:46) Dalan: to lead to some sort of rebellion thing (0:15:48) Dalan: going on so it’s really interesting it’s (0:15:51) Dalan: tackles a lot of different themes (0:15:53) Dalan: there’s like it’s kind of about Asian (0:15:55) Dalan: diaspora and Hong Kong protests which (0:15:59) Dalan: is not what I would expect going into (0:16:00) Al: Oh heavy (0:16:00) Dalan: this game but it’s also about a lot of (0:16:02) Dalan: other things so covers a large range of (0:16:06) Dalan: I would recommend it. It was a big narrative game last year that people liked, but it didn’t really get nominated for anything. (0:16:15) Al: I don’t think I’ve ever actually played a walking sim and so I can’t say that I don’t (0:16:20) Dalan: Mm-hmm, I see. (0:16:23) Al: like walking sims, but what I will say is I think walking sims are everything about (0:16:28) Al: games that I don’t like and therefore I would assume that I would not like them. (0:16:34) Dalan: To me, this is more like reading a sci-fi novel with full visuals and experiences. (0:16:35) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly and it’s like I sort of like the kind of one of the (0:16:45) Al: people would argue it’s not a walking sim, but I think some people would argue it is (0:16:49) Al: a walking sim. What’s it called? Why have I forgotten the name of it? Big Sony game, (0:16:57) Al: they made a TV series of it. The Last of Us, yeah. I know it has some combat and gameplay (0:16:59) Dalan: Oh, the last of us? (0:17:04) Al: to it, however, feels very narrative heavy and I guess the kind of famous walking sim (0:17:11) Al: is more, is the Overwatch, not Overwatch, over. (0:17:14) Dalan: Uh, Firewatch. (0:17:15) Al: Firewatch, there we go. Names are too similar. There’s too many words. There are more words for (0:17:18) Dalan: It’s true, there are many similar names. (0:17:21) Al: your games, use other words. Firewatch is kind of the big one. And these games, it’s like, (0:17:28) Al: I’m not against story in game, but I guess I don’t like being in control of story because it takes (0:17:38) Al: two times longer than if they were just telling me the story. So, like, I love watching TV and (0:17:46) Al: but if I were to have to press A constantly to get the next bit of the film or TV series, (0:17:51) Al: I would not do it. (0:17:52) Al: on. (0:17:53) Dalan: Right (0:17:55) Dalan: Yeah, and I I think it very much depends on the game (0:17:58) Dalan: like there are some where I would say that is kind of more of a (0:18:02) Dalan: Just feeling kind of bored and I almost feel like I’m doing a disservice by calling it a walking sim because there’s so much (0:18:09) Dalan: Like I don’t know it like I said, it feels like us (0:18:13) Dalan: it kind of feels like walking around inside of a TV scene for me where I feel like I’m (0:18:20) Dalan: experiencing like this setting and trying to figure out what’s going on. (0:18:23) Dalan: I don’t know, but on the other hand, I’m someone who like tends to not watch as many TV or films because like I don’t like, well, I’ll have to dig into that aspect of my psyche later, but I think some of the control I enjoy being able to take it at my own pace and see what’s going on. (0:18:36) Al: Interesting. Well, anyway. (0:18:44) Dalan: Yeah, that’s that’s a wrap for me. Let’s hear about your week. So it’s not just me talking the whole episode. (0:18:50) Al: I have finally started playing Rusty’s Retirement. So I, for people who aren’t aware, the reason (0:18:57) Al: I wasn’t playing Rusty’s Retirement before was because I work for a client and so I use (0:19:04) Al: their machine, and I can’t just– (0:19:06) Al: I don’t want to install things on that machine, so I obviously do not have Rustys retirement installed on my work machine, but what I realized I can do is I have it on my Steam Deck. Now, granted, it is not great on the Steam Deck because it is not full screen, you can’t like change where it is, you’ve just got your little thing, but I have it running on my Steam Deck on, I’ve got the Steam Deck dock sitting on my desk, and so I just have my Steam Deck sitting open, charging, playing Rustys Retirement on my Steam Deck. (0:19:16) Dalan: Mmm. (0:19:34) Al: charging playing Rusty’s retirement. (0:19:37) Al: I’ve not done this very long, I think this is only my second day of doing it. (0:19:40) Al: But I thought this was an interesting way of trying to use play with the game and see how it fares like that. (0:19:46) Al: I think it could do really well like that, but there would have to be a few changes for it to work optimally. (0:19:54) Al: Obviously being in full screen and the, you know, it doesn’t have any gamepad support. (0:20:02) Al: So we’d have to have those to be really good. (0:20:06) Al: Screen makes it a lot better to work with than just using the analog sticks or the touchpads. (0:20:13) Al: And because of what its gameplay is, obviously you’re not actually interacting with it very much. (0:20:18) Al: So the interaction not being ideal doesn’t make it dreadful. (0:20:23) Al: So that’s one. (0:20:24) Al: The other thing that I have been absolutely obsessed with over the last week is Pokémon Legends Arceus, you know, just three years after release. (0:20:33) Al: I did play it when it first came out, but some– (0:20:36) Al: Keen listeners will remember that nearly two years ago, (0:20:40) Al: I had a terrible, terrible situation (0:20:44) Al: where my main Switch died, and I lost all of my Pokemon saves (0:20:47) Al: except one. (0:20:49) Al: And this was the only set of Pokemon games on the Switch (0:20:54) Al: I didn’t have a save for. (0:20:56) Al: Now I’ve been slowly building them up. (0:20:58) Al: So I don’t have all of them sorted. (0:21:01) Al: I just have one from each generation, (0:21:03) Al: one from each set of games now. (0:21:07) Al: I’d never played it a second time. (0:21:09) Al: I play most Pokemon games two times (0:21:10) Al: because I’ll buy both games, and I’ll play one (0:21:14) Al: just reasonably quickly, and then I’ll (0:21:16) Al: play one as generally a Professor Oak Challenge, (0:21:20) Al: but sometimes something else. (0:21:22) Al: So I’d never done a second playthrough of Legends Arceus. (0:21:25) Al: And so I was like, well, it’s time to do that, I guess. (0:21:28) Al: And let’s do a Professor Oak Challenge. (0:21:30) Al: And it was quite fun, Professor Oak Challenge. (0:21:32) Al: I like how they’re all very different nowadays (0:21:34) Al: Cause you’ve got like, um. (0:21:36) Al: Um, let’s go and brilliant diamond shining Pearl, which are kind of how they’re more (0:21:42) Al: like how professor challenges would have been in the older games, you know, kind of standard (0:21:49) Al: progression with gyms and catching and stuff like that. (0:21:52) Al: But let’s go had, uh, the catch combo, which meant you could get XP really quickly, um, (0:22:01) Al: and kind of sped up the first one, uh, then you obviously have sort (0:22:07) Al: is the only series of switch games that I’ve not done a professor of challenging now, which (0:22:11) Al: I’ll probably do at some point, which I think has. (0:22:12) Dalan: Yeah, I was gonna say like how does it seems like that gets a little trickier with the more open world ones (0:22:18) Al: So yeah, so obviously then you’ve got, you’ve got scarlet and violet. (0:22:18) Dalan: Obviously sword and shield isn’t quite there yet, but it’s got the wild area (0:22:24) Al: I, I love how ridiculous it is. (0:22:27) Al: I think I can’t remember exactly how many ways. (0:22:30) Al: I don’t know whether it’s quite 300, but it’s, it’s over 200 Pokemon you catch before you (0:22:34) Dalan: My goodness! (0:22:35) Al: do the first thing. (0:22:36) Al: Um, and yeah, it’s kind of ridiculous, but I also kind of love it because there’s (0:22:42) Dalan: There’s a charm there (0:22:43) Al: there, it is, it’s very front loaded. (0:22:47) Al: So you do that and then you just absolutely whiz through the story after that, which is (0:22:52) Al: like, I have my, you know, level 50 Pokemon killing the first gym sort of thing. (0:22:56) Dalan: Yeah. (0:22:57) Al: And it’s like wild, but I also like, yeah, but yeah, well, exactly. (0:23:00) Dalan: Like, “Welcome to your journey,” and (laughing) (0:23:04) Dalan: don’t know what’s coming. (0:23:06) Al: But I also like how there are so many Pokemon you can just catch in the wild now. (0:23:13) Al: And that’s the same for Legends Arceus. (0:23:15) Al: There’s so many Pokemon that you don’t have to evolve, you can just catch all of them (0:23:19) Al: in the wild. (0:23:20) Dalan: Wow (0:23:21) Al: I really like that part of it. (0:23:24) Al: So yeah, so I guess Legends Arceus was kind of a kind of between the two. (0:23:29) Al: So I think you have like 60 or so in the first region, and then it gets smaller and smaller (0:23:34) Dalan: Right (0:23:35) Al: as you go. (0:23:36) Al: It felt pretty well balanced in terms of how many Pokémon you have to get for the first (0:23:41) Al: three areas at least, and then the last two were quite quick. But yeah, well, the last area would (0:23:48) Al: have been quick if it weren’t for Spiritomb. Oh my word. I love Legends Arceus, and I love it even (0:23:52) Dalan: - True, yeah. (0:23:56) Al: more now that I’ve done a second playthrough. I just love so much about it. But Spiritomb, (0:24:02) Dalan: But yeah, no, I that’s understandable. (0:24:04) Al: I did not enjoy it. It’s like… (0:24:06) Al: 107 wisps across this huge game was not fun. Yeah, it is. (0:24:11) Dalan: It’s kind of a lot. (0:24:13) Dalan: Yeah, I never finished Legends Arceus, but I I did enjoy playing that game a lot. (0:24:19) Dalan: And I do think that is a game that could lend itself pretty well to that kind of (0:24:23) Dalan: Professor Oak challenge, because it kind of does let you do the areas as you want to. (0:24:28) Dalan: Like, obviously, it’s like, OK, now you can go to the next area. (0:24:30) Dalan: and that’s kind of encouraged, but you can also just stick around. (0:24:32) Dalan: and keep doing stuff in that one spot. (0:24:34) Dalan: So it’s pretty cool. (0:24:36) Al: Yeah, yeah, I just played the story until it said right now go do the Lord to at the (0:24:40) Dalan: Yeah. (0:24:40) Al: end of this area. And I’m like, I’m going to catch all the Pokemon first. And it didn’t (0:24:44) Dalan: Yep. (0:24:44) Al: feel forced. It felt like I was just kind of cleaning up as I went. Whereas quite a (0:24:48) Dalan: Yeah. (0:24:49) Al: lot of Professor Oak challenges, they feel like you’re like, no, I’m going to stay in (0:24:53) Al: this area and I’m going to battle this specific Pokemon, which gives the most XP before the (0:24:54) Dalan: Yeah. (0:24:59) Al: first gym to evolve my level 36 starter. (0:25:04) Dalan: It’s a fight against the game (0:25:06) Al: Exactly, exactly. Whereas the way this game works is much more like, no, I’m actually (0:25:11) Al: playing it how they wanted me to play it. Now they didn’t expect that I would necessarily (0:25:15) Al: catch absolutely everything before the next area, but there’s absolutely no forcing there. (0:25:21) Al: It definitely feels designed like that. (0:25:22) Dalan: Yeah, honestly, I think I should have played the game more like that because I kind of wanted to keep the story going but (0:25:27) Dalan: At the I was I was torn between wanting to like see how things were progressing and also being like (0:25:34) Al: Yeah. Yeah. (0:25:35) Dalan: Because it’s sort of fun it’s it’s satisfying to move around and to to throw the pokeballs and stuff (0:25:40) Dalan: I haven’t really touched scarlet and violet. I think I (0:25:44) Dalan: Might have briefly tried playing it in Japanese as practice and then I was like, oh, yeah (0:25:49) Dalan: I’m still terrible at Japanese. So I gave up a bet (0:25:53) Dalan: But I do I would like to return to it at some point and did Arceus as well (0:25:58) Dalan: I think that would be a really fun time because I did enjoy that game quite a bit (0:26:04) Al: I decided that it was time to do it because with the new game coming out, I either, (0:26:10) Al: I’m not going to be able to go back to Legends Arceus because the new game is just that but better, (0:26:15) Al: or it’s not going to be good and I’ll be disappointed, but then I will have played (0:26:20) Al: a good game this year. So it’s like, one or the other, I want to have played it now, you know. (0:26:22) Dalan: Yes, yes. (0:26:23) Dalan: Silver lining. (0:26:26) Dalan: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. (0:26:28) Al: Because there are some games that I really struggle to go back and play like, (0:26:30) Dalan: Mmm. (0:26:30) Al: Breath of the Wild, I can’t play anymore after Tuesday. (0:26:34) Al: of the Kingdom, because of what Tears of the Kingdom added. (0:26:38) Al: So yeah, I think if it was, which I really hope, I mean, we (0:26:41) Al: obviously have no indication of this yet, hopefully we’ll know (0:26:44) Al: more in a month and a half, but I really hope that Legends ZA is (0:26:49) Al: basically the same catching and traversal style as Legends (0:26:54) Al: Arceus, but more of that and more fun and more to do and more (0:27:00) Al: story and some, you know, quality of life improvements. (0:27:04) Al: What I would really like is them to add the Let’s Go feature from (0:27:08) Al: Scarlet and Violet into it as well, because I think having those (0:27:10) Al: two ways of being able to run around and catch everything in balls (0:27:14) Al: or send out your Pokemon to go and kill everything nearby. (0:27:17) Dalan: Mm-hmm (0:27:18) Al: I think those are both fun and could work really well together. (0:27:21) Dalan: Yeah, that sounds like an interesting sort of combo of those ideas, man, I need to play this Krillin Violet (0:27:27) Al: Scarlet and Violet is a really mixed game and it’s like I, at one point I said if it ran better, (0:27:35) Al: it would probably be my favourite Pokémon game, but actually I don’t think that anymore. I think (0:27:38) Dalan: Mmm (0:27:39) Al: no matter what, I think Legends Arceus is my favourite Pokémon game. It’s just… (0:27:44) Dalan: Yeah, I would say that legends Arceus was definitely like the one I had been most charmed by and quite some time probably since like (0:27:51) Dalan: First Pokemon game like black and white and they didn’t enjoy the others per se but it was like, oh, this is new and interesting (0:27:57) Al: - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:28:00) Al: All right, so yeah, well, yeah, (0:28:02) Al: I finished the Professor Oak Challenge. (0:28:03) Al: I’m just catching the last few postgame Pokemon now. (0:28:04) Dalan: Oh, nice! (0:28:06) Al: So I think I’ve got the, I think before this recording, (0:28:12) Al: I just caught the Lake Spirits. (0:28:14) Al: So I think all I’ve got left are Geratina, (0:28:18) Al: the weather genies, and then Arceus, (0:28:22) Dalan: Mm-hmm great those guys (0:28:24) Al: and the two mythical. (0:28:28) Dalan: Mm-hmm cool. I look forward to hearing about that also curious about (0:28:28) Al: So, that shouldn’t take me too long. (0:28:33) Dalan: More thoughts on Rusty’s retirement as you play that more because I know we both talked about how we weren’t sure if that was (0:28:36) Al: Yes, it will be interesting to see how that goes. I will hopefully have more to talk about (0:28:38) Dalan: Game that really worked for us (0:28:45) Al: Rusty’s retirement in the near future. All right, let’s talk about some news. (0:28:48) Dalan: Sweet. (0:28:51) Al: Obviously, we had our big news catch up last week, and this is, as Dallin was saying before (0:28:58) Al: the recording, the quiet time of the year, which is very true. I think this is a very quiet time (0:29:00) Dalan: - Yes. (0:29:04) Al: for games for two reasons. (0:29:06) Al: Well, three reasons. One is January. (0:29:08) Al: Not a lot happens in January when put in games. (0:29:08) Dalan: - Yeah. (0:29:11) Al: Two, the Switch 2 is about to be announced, right? (0:29:14) Dalan: - Right. (0:29:14) Al: Like, that is imminent. (0:29:16) Al: And you know that everybody’s waiting for that. (0:29:18) Al: Some will be waiting because they have dev kits (0:29:21) Al: and they can’t announce anything yet. (0:29:23) Al: And some will be waiting to just see what it is (0:29:25) Al: and see if they can run their Switch games on it (0:29:27) Al: before they talk about it. (0:29:29) Al: And three, everybody’s terrified of GTA. (0:29:32) Dalan: Mmm, yeah, no, that’s a big game coming. (0:29:37) Al: So there’s basically no games announced coming this year outside of the first three months, (0:29:42) Dalan: Mmm. Yeah, it’s yeah, it’s a weird time right now in many ways. (0:29:42) Al: like for anybody at all. So yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. But we do have some news. (0:29:53) Al: So first of all, My Little Life, which is what I like to call a rusty retirement like, (0:30:00) Al: it is another game played on the bottom part of your screen. And this is a (0:30:06) Al: life sim rather than a farming sim. So you have your different rooms in your house and (0:30:15) Al: I presume office, I’ve not actually investigated whether you have more than (0:30:20) Dalan: My gosh this I’m looking at the announcement. I just haven’t muted right now, but in the release date announcement (0:30:26) Dalan: They have rusty’s retirement pulled up over top of the my little life screen. Yeah, let’s about 46 seconds in (0:30:30) Al: Oh, do they? Amazing. (0:30:35) Al: Oh, so they do. (0:30:36) Dalan: You can do it well answering work emails or even playing other games and then rusty’s retirement pops up (0:30:41) Dalan: So that’s that’s pretty funny. It’s just like yeah, I know what I know. This is sort of a copy (0:30:42) Al: I just read the transcripts of what they’re talking about, what you can do while playing (0:30:46) Dalan: Happy. (0:30:53) Al: it. And one of them is “or playing other games”. So they’re showing you playing My Little Life (0:31:01) Al: and Rusty’s Retirement at the same time, which I would say probably don’t do that. (0:31:02) Dalan: Two for one. (0:31:06) Dalan: I think that’s overload. (0:31:08) Dalan: I think that would break my brain. (0:31:11) Dalan: Too much things I can look at. (0:31:12) Al: Anyway, this game has announced, as Talon just said, their release date. So this is coming (0:31:17) Al: out on the 31st of January. So in two and a bit weeks. Yep. So if you like Rusty’s Retirement, (0:31:27) Al: you want another one like it, or you like the idea of Rusty’s Retirement, but you didn’t (0:31:31) Al: want a farming game while you’re listening to this podcast, then that comes out very soon. (0:31:34) Dalan: Yeah, very interesting, also like the Windows XP background in the tree. (0:31:39) Al: Next week. Yeah. (0:31:43) Dalan: Where’s that Vista? (0:31:43) Al: Yeah. (0:31:44) Dalan: I don’t know, I’m too young for this. (0:31:48) Al: Next we have the Sun Haven have released their next update for the Switch version. (0:31:54) Al: The Switch version. I mean it’s all just bug fixes basically. (0:31:56) Dalan: Hmm (0:32:00) Al: Except one thing which says added a save button in the settings menu. (0:32:03) Al: Could you not save the game before? I don’t. (0:32:05) Dalan: Ah, no idea. That seems good to have. (0:32:09) Al: Yeah. So if you’re playing, Sunhee, (0:32:12) Al: haven on the switch, you now have fewer bugs. (0:32:16) Al: Hopefully. (0:32:16) Dalan: More save buttons and hopefully you already had more than zero (0:32:18) Al: And more safe bugs. (0:32:20) Al: I’m guessing it does the Stardew thing of saving overnight, (0:32:24) Dalan: Right probably (0:32:25) Al: but they also have a save on demand thing. (0:32:29) Dalan: Right that would make sense (0:32:30) Al: Next we have Echoes of the Plum Grove (0:32:32) Al: have released their new year update. (0:32:35) Al: This is mostly bug fixes, but there’s a few features as well. (0:32:39) Al: You can add rugs and put things on those rugs. (0:32:44) Dalan: I was a little worried I misread the thing it says put furniture over rugs (0:32:49) Dalan: and I and costumes for kids and I combined them as put furniture and rugs (0:32:53) Dalan: over kids and I was like oh okay I know this is the sort of wacky or the like (0:32:58) Dalan: not wacky but uh macabre macabre game there we say that macabre it’s the R (0:33:03) Al: Yep, macabre, macabre, macabre. (0:33:06) Dalan: pronounced this is this is important I need to (0:33:10) Al: This will probably be a cultural thing, right? (0:33:12) Dalan: macabre. It’s macabre. (0:33:12) Al: Like macabre, death, about death. (0:33:15) Dalan: He got out again. (0:33:17) Dalan: That’s seems. (0:33:20) Dalan: Cool. Thanks. (0:33:22) Dalan: I knew that part. (0:33:22) Dalan: I was wondering how to say you. (0:33:24) Dalan: Thanks word. (0:33:24) Al: No, I know, I’m just simplifying it. (0:33:28) Dalan: It’s about it’s got some depth in it. (0:33:31) Al: And also new Halloween outfits. (0:33:33) Al: We’re a little bit late for Halloween outfits. (0:33:36) Dalan: Oh, some amazing fixes, Winter Gala should still be available even if the quest giver dies the night before. (0:33:42) Dalan: Good. (0:33:44) Dalan: There’s some spoiler ones I’m not looking at, but that’s the only fun one, so you don’t need to look for any more fixes. (0:33:52) Dalan: But, man, this game does intrigue me, I gotta say. (0:33:56) Al: Yeah, not many games have to worry about their NPCs dying, right? (0:34:00) Dalan: Yeah, that’s usually a Bethesda kind of thing. (0:34:07) Al: And our final piece of news, (0:34:08) Al: ‘cause I told you it was short, right? (0:34:10) Al: We had about half an hour of what we’d been up to, (0:34:12) Al: and now we’ve got five minutes of news. (0:34:13) Dalan: Well, I don’t think I saw this one. (0:34:15) Al: This is, that’s ‘cause I added it in (0:34:18) Al: like two hours ago or something. (0:34:18) Dalan: Ah, I see. (0:34:21) Al: Roots of Patcher have detailed (0:34:25) Al: their upcoming new regions to the games. (0:34:28) Al: So if you’re interested in Roots of Patcher, (0:34:30) Al: there’s some more details on that. (0:34:33) Al: Yeah, it’s not hugely detailed, (0:34:36) Al: but they’re just kind of talking about the new regions, (0:34:37) Al: which feel like the next update’s gonna be pretty big. (0:34:40) Dalan: There’s some, there’s some fun screenshots, well not screenshots, they’re slightly animated. (0:34:45) Al: Yes, there are. (0:34:47) Al: I still haven’t played this game, (0:34:48) Al: and I still want to at some point. (0:34:50) Dalan: It does, it looks nice, I could see myself enjoying it. (0:34:53) Dalan: I will keep an eye out. (0:34:56) Al: Well, that’s the news! (0:34:59) Al: So, Dalon, you’re gonna talk to me about Honkai Impact 3rd, and I have not played this game, (0:35:03) Dalan: All right. (0:35:06) Dalan: All right. (0:35:09) Al: so I have no idea how to start this other than, why are we talking about this game? (0:35:13) Dalan: okay yes let’s let’s start with why this is getting mentioned because honkai impact dirt is (0:35:18) Dalan: not a farming game and unless you count farming for materials uh oh I sure I have no idea what (0:35:19) Al: Shall I see what you said to me about the game? Let me read what Dallin said (0:35:25) Dalan: I sent to you oh boy (0:35:27) Al: when they first suggested playing this game. (0:35:32) Dalan: i’m half expecting like there to be an emoji with me like doing the the fingers pointing at each (0:35:37) Dalan: other I don’t know I i think it (0:35:39) Al: Where did you say it to me? (0:35:44) Dalan: it was probably a threat in the like the not the harvest slack but the other slack (0:35:49) Dalan: I don’t even think it was like a dm or anything I was like no it was just like we could do this (0:35:51) Al: It wasn’t a DM, no. (0:35:54) Dalan: so I i don’t think that’s even anywhere now we have we have no idea how this transpired just (0:35:59) Dalan: occurred uh yeah I think it it came up in video games because I mentioned that I was doing like (0:36:00) Al: so confused. We seem to have talked about it in multiple different channels, (0:36:04) Al: but I can’t actually find where you said it about it. (0:36:09) Dalan: a farming event in this game. You said there’s farming in this game? (0:36:13) Dalan: I was like, “Yeah, right now.” (0:36:15) Al: Okay, so, you said to me back at the end of November, the new Honkai Impact Third Update (0:36:22) Al: has a side mode that is Bilateral + Marvel Snap. The previous two side modes were a Farming (0:36:26) Dalan: Oh yes, I didn’t mention that. (0:36:28) Al: Sim and then Candy Crush Battles. And I said, “A what now?” (0:36:30) Dalan: Yes. (0:36:32) Dalan: Yes. (0:36:34) Dalan: That one just wrapped up, the Bellatrosnap. (0:36:38) Al: So yeah, you said, “I thought I posted about it, but I guess not. It was a Farming Sim (0:36:42) Al: that was about getting not Pokemon who (0:36:45) Al: run various buildings in your town, farm crops, mine for materials etc. They also had fishing, (0:36:51) Al: gotta have a fishing minigame. If you ever need a filler episode, (0:36:53) Dalan: That is correct (0:36:54) Al: I could definitely talk for at least 20 minutes about it, so set that timer now! (0:36:58) Dalan: All right, set the timer see how long we get to cool (0:37:04) Dalan: Yeah, I mean good job past me. That’s a pretty good summary (0:37:08) Dalan: So that’s that’s what we’re gonna talk about. I’m going to briefly just explain the concept of what the heck (0:37:14) Dalan: Hong Kai impact there it is. It’s a gotcha game first and foremost. So if you’re not familiar with gotcha games, it’s (0:37:21) Dalan: gambling, but legal. (0:37:24) Dalan: They have usually have these things called banners where there are usually anime girls that you spend points on, and then you have a chance to get that character it’s usually guaranteed after however many times you pull for that character as the terminology and yeah, that is that is the bulk of how they make their monies by having you pay money to get their new characters. (0:37:51) Dalan: So one of the ways (0:37:53) Dalan: they do this is by having these characters show up in side modes and (0:37:57) Dalan: stories and stuff. Usually they’re in the main story, but sometimes they also have (0:38:01) Dalan: sort of filler side content, and they tend to–Hoyoverse is the company that (0:38:07) Dalan: does this, formerly me, Hoyo, and I think that’s like–I don’t remember all the (0:38:12) Dalan: branding nonsense, but I go by Hoyoverse, and yeah. (0:38:12) Al: It looks like Mihoyo is still the name of a company. (0:38:20) Dalan: Yeah, it’s like international kind of stuff. (0:38:23) Dalan: It was Hoya vs. Kind of a rebranding thing that I tend to stick to just because most of their games are connected in some sort of multiverse way. (0:38:34) Al: So, the publisher is called Huyoverse. (0:38:38) Dalan: And the developers Mihoyo? Okay, interesting. I did not know that. (0:38:40) Al: Correct. (0:38:42) Al: But I believe they are separate companies, but it looks like Huyoverse was spun out from… (0:38:49) Dalan: Yeah, they’re essentially the same thing I imagine. (0:38:52) Dalan: They just handle like different parts of the process. (0:38:56) Al: Yes, but they are separate companies, they’re not, as far as I can see, not kind of possibly, (0:38:58) Dalan: Yes. (0:39:00) Dalan: All right, I figured it was a thing where like (0:39:02) Dalan: one was owning the other somewhere, but I don’t know. (0:39:04) Al: but I’m not, I can’t see any information on the ownership of Hoyoverse. But also, Hoyoverse (0:39:07) Dalan: I do not have the Wikipedia open right now (0:39:09) Dalan: and it’s not that relevant. (0:39:12) Al: is also called Cognosphere. That’s just another name for the same company. I don’t know why (0:39:15) Dalan: Hognosphere, I’m not familiar with that one. (0:39:19) Dalan: Okay, interesting. (0:39:25) Dalan: I assume it has something, (0:39:28) Dalan: the first result from three, (0:39:30) Dalan: the second result from three years ago on Reddit (0:39:31) Dalan: says it was a new proxy publishing label. (0:39:34) Dalan: So it’s probably ‘cause they’re based in China (0:39:34) Al: It does. Right. (0:39:36) Dalan: and they needed like other companies (0:39:37) Dalan: to be able to publish things. (0:39:38) Al: Yeah, but why is HoYoverse also called Cognosphere sometimes? (0:39:42) Dalan: Oh, no idea. (0:39:44) Al: But yeah, it does look like it’s fully owned subsidiary of of miHoYo. (0:39:49) Al: So parent company miHoYo, HoYoverse also called Cognosphere. (0:39:54) Dalan: publisher cool (0:39:54) Al: Subsidiary publishing company. Got it. (0:39:57) Dalan: Cool, that’s not confusing got it got it (0:39:57) Al: Perfect. Makes sense. (0:40:00) Dalan: Need a chart. I don’t need some diagrams after this anyway (0:40:04) Dalan: the brief history of miHoYo is (0:40:07) Dalan: Al have you ever heard of Evangelion? I? (0:40:10) Dalan: Want you to imagine that you are a couple you’re several people and that’s there (0:40:15) Dalan: There is a team of a few people in China in like (0:40:20) Dalan: Early, I think like the late 2000s who are really into Evangelion and they decide (0:40:24) Dalan: let’s make games inspired by that and so yeah that was kind of that is I assume (0:40:31) Dalan: why this game is called impact third because it is very heavily inspired by (0:40:34) Dalan: Evangelion which has something in it called the third impact however I assume (0:40:38) Al: Right. Okay. You lost me there for a minute. You were like, I think that’s why (0:40:39) Dalan: they little bit okay Evangelion has something in it called the third impact (0:40:41) Al: it’s called this because Evangelion. I’m like, I don’t understand what that means. (0:40:45) Al: Okay. I’m learning so much. (0:40:48) Dalan: so I think they took inspiration from that name and some of the things that (0:40:53) Dalan: that happen in that series. (0:40:55) Dalan: Uh, cause it features in this game is kind of a thing. (0:40:58) Dalan: Uh, basically just, yeah. (0:41:00) Al: Oh, this is also the Genshin Impact company. Anzendless don0. Goodness me. (0:41:02) Dalan: Yes, that is, they took the, yes, that’s Hoya verse. (0:41:07) Dalan: They have a lot. (0:41:08) Dalan: They also have something called tears of Themis, which I think is like a hot (0:41:11) Dalan: boy dating simulator, but I didn’t ever hear anyone talking about it. (0:41:12) Al: Yeah, I saw that as well, but I didn’t really care because it’s not one I care of. (0:41:14) Dalan: So I don’t know anything about it. (0:41:17) Dalan: Yeah, I, I don’t particularly care, but it does exist. (0:41:20) Dalan: Um, yes, yes. (0:41:20) Al: This game is older than those games. (0:41:25) Dalan: This is the one that I think really first took off. (0:41:27) Dalan: Uh, there were two that proceeded it, but one was literally just kind of like, (0:41:30) Dalan: uh, uh, you know, twin stick shooter, very short game. (0:41:35) Dalan: And the other was kind of like a prototype of this game. (0:41:39) Dalan: That was like a lot more zombie focused because zombies were really big back in (0:41:43) Dalan: the, uh, like late, uh, odds, I think, if you remember everyone liked zombies and (0:41:50) Dalan: bacon and pirates and mustaches and that, that kind of period of time. (0:41:52) Al: Yeah, I don’t think that ever actually went away, did it? (0:41:55) Dalan: No, no, well, no, but it was like, that was sort of a weird cultural (0:42:00) Dalan: cachet we had at the time. (0:42:00) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get you, I get you. (0:42:02) Dalan: Yeah. (0:42:03) Dalan: Anyway, so yes, that game I now, now I’ve confused myself. (0:42:08) Dalan: Uh, where am I anyway, how can I impact third it’s game. (0:42:12) Dalan: You can play, uh, one of the, as Hoya verse starts getting more and more money. (0:42:16) Dalan: Uh, they need to put like side events in their gotcha games. (0:42:19) Dalan: And I guess some of the game designers are like, what if we just started doing (0:42:23) Dalan: doing entirely different. (0:42:25) Dalan: And so across a lot of their games, there are events where you will just play like entirely separate games as side events, and some of them are really interesting. (0:42:34) Dalan: The problem is a lot of them go away after the event period is over because that’s not what the focus of the game is. (0:42:41) Dalan: I have noticed some lately and Impact Third seem to be like getting saved as things you can replay. (0:42:47) Dalan: And I think Honkai Star Rail keeps most of its events that happen, but not all of them. (0:42:54) Dalan: Part of that is because these are games you can play both on your phone and PC in consoles. (0:43:01) Dalan: Impact Third is only phone and PC. (0:43:05) Dalan: So to be playable on a phone, they wanted to decrease storage size. (0:43:10) Dalan: So they tend to delete content events that happened so your phone doesn’t explode from being just the game and having space for nothing else. (0:43:20) Dalan: So the event we’re talking about is they made, essentially, (0:43:24) Dalan: a farming sim that you can play. They’ve done this apparently twice. I was not playing when (0:43:28) Dalan: the first one happened, so I don’t know anything about it. It’s farming enough. I mean, that’s, (0:43:29) Al: or two farvings, some specifically. (0:43:34) Dalan: I would say it’s more focused on automation, sort of. Yeah, but it is around farming and development. (0:43:38) Al: Sounds like my kind of game

Ekrem İmamoğlu İstanbul'da müthiş bir algı operasyonu yapıyor. Elbette bu operasyonda yalnız değil. Medya üzerinden bu operasyona destek veren çok kalem var. CHP oldum olası büyük yatırımlara önce karşı çıkar, sonra kendisi yapmış gibi sahiplenir. 30 Ekim 1973'te hizmete açılan ilk Boğaziçi Köprüsü'nden, barajlara… Bir türlü büyük düşünmeyi öğrenememiş ya da öğrendiklerini unutmuş gibiler diyebiliriz. Bunun tarihte çok örneği var. Metro inşaatı da bunlardan birisi. Daha önceki iktidarlarda İstanbul'a metro yapılamaz denmiş, kenarda kalmıştı. Metro İstanbul'un temelleri Bedrettin Dalan'ın belediye başkanlığı döneminde 1988'de atıldı. Dalan'ın 5 yıllık görev süresinde 8,1 kilometre, Nurettin Sözen (1989- 1994) döneminde 12 kilometre metro hattı inşa edildi. Cumhurbaşkanı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan'ın, 1994-1998 tarihleri arasında İBB Başkanı olarak görev yaptığı 4,5 yılda 12 kilometre metro hattı hizmete alındı. Ali Müfit Gürtuna döneminde (1998-2004) 12,4 kilometre, metro hattı inşası gerçekleştirildi. Ulaştırma Bakanı Binali Yıldırım ve İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanı Kadir Topbaş'ın döneminde (2004-2017) İstanbul'da adeta raylı sistemler seferberliği yaşandı. 13,5 yılda 142,88 kilometre metro hattı inşa edildi. Ekrem İmamoğlu ise 3,5 yılda toplam 7,24 kilometre metro hattı inşa etti. Bu hikâyede en büyük emek, yatırım, altyapı Kadir Topbaş döneminde olmasına rağmen İmamoğlu'nun yapımına daha önce başlanmış olan, inşası büyük ölçüde tamamlanmış olan metro projelerini kendisi yapmış gibi algı yaratması da nerden baksan gerçeği çarpıtmak, tersyüz etmektir. Daha da ötesi yalandır. İSTANBUL'UN EN BÜYÜK MESELELERİ

Al and Dalan talk about By The Pier Timings 00:00:00: Theme Tune 00:00:30: Intro 00:04:02: What Have We Been Up To 00:25:01: By The Pier 00:43:11: Other Playdate Games Discussion 00:46:15: Outro Links By The Pier Contact Al on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheScotBot Al on Mastodon: https://mastodon.scot/@TheScotBot Email Us: https://harvestseason.club/contact/ Transcript [00:00.000 –> 00:04.800] COUNTRY MUSIC [00:30.400 –> 00:36.000] Hello farmers and welcome to another episode of the harvest season. I can’t remember whether [00:36.000 –> 00:40.240] Dalen has remembers how to intro this so we’ll just see how it goes. My name is Al. [00:40.800 –> 00:49.520] My name is Dalen. Sorry Dalen not Dalen and we are here today to talk about fishing games. [00:49.840 –> 00:53.520] Fishing… Question mark? [00:55.920 –> 01:02.080] Well so the interesting thing about this is so this is I’ve got Dalen sorry I’ve it’s one of [01:02.080 –> 01:05.920] these things where you always pronounce someone’s name when you never hear them say it and out loud [01:05.920 –> 01:10.240] and then suddenly you’re actually having to say it. Everybody says it the first time so I don’t [01:10.240 –> 01:17.840] worry about it. So I’ve got Dalen on this episode to talk about a game called by the pier which is a [01:17.840 –> 01:24.320] playdate game and it’s totally not just because Dalen is the only person that has a playdate that [01:24.320 –> 01:31.760] wants to actually talk on the podcast. I’m here for my very special set of skills which are owning [01:31.760 –> 01:43.760] this device. This is episode three in our mini series of fishing month so just a couple of bits [01:43.760 –> 01:48.640] of housekeeping at the beginning so first of all obviously if you need transcripts they are [01:48.640 –> 01:56.400] available in the show notes and on the website go get them. This is obviously as this is fishing [01:56.400 –> 02:00.480] month those who have listened to previous fishing month episodes will know that there will be no [02:00.480 –> 02:05.760] news in this episode because this is an out of time episode. Fishing month is the month where I [02:05.760 –> 02:12.720] am away on holiday and so we’ve got all these recorded up and early except one the last episode [02:12.720 –> 02:18.880] might have had some news the the last episode was about dredge that might have had some news [02:18.880 –> 02:24.960] but I’m recording this before that part I’m I’m recording this before that’s recorded so we’ll [02:24.960 –> 02:33.040] find out soon. Podcast time is weird. Yeah the listeners will have already have found out whether [02:33.040 –> 02:38.880] there was news in the last episode or not. It’s so weird to be talking to you all from the past the [02:38.880 –> 02:45.360] future I’m not sure which it would be in this context. We are talking from the past. Yeah well [02:45.360 –> 02:55.600] yeah but well I yes anyway. And this episode comes out in a month and a half so excellent. [02:57.280 –> 03:03.680] So yeah so that’s why we’re talking about by the pier because I wanted to do a special month of [03:03.680 –> 03:11.200] just stuff about fishing games and we’ll see how that goes or we will have seen how that has gone. [03:11.760 –> 03:21.600] This is this is terrible. Look look it is late at night and I am very sorry for making [03:24.160 –> 03:29.280] because we’ve been going through like two weeks of heatwave which of course heatwave in Scotland [03:29.280 –> 03:35.520] is like 23 degrees right so get your mocking out there early but I don’t cope well with the heat. [03:36.400 –> 03:44.320] I am not a big heat fan either so. Good good well anyway welcome welcome Dalin how are you doing? [03:44.320 –> 03:50.240] I’m doing all right. Excellent. It is now I’m just I had to calculate the degrees from [03:50.240 –> 03:54.880] Celsius to know how much I should laugh at you. I will I will withhold my giggles but. [03:55.040 –> 04:02.240] Okay cool so yeah we’re going to talk about by the pier we’ve got no news so we’re just going to go [04:02.240 –> 04:08.000] into Dalin what have you been up to? What have I been up to? So it is summer and I’ve been playing [04:08.000 –> 04:14.800] entirely too many games. I guess I can talk about them. I wrote them on the dark I don’t know if any [04:14.800 –> 04:20.480] of these you’ve heard of any of these I kind of abbreviated them. I think I’ve heard of at least [04:20.480 –> 04:28.320] two of them. Yes at least two yeah perhaps well let’s just I’ll just go in order so I’ve been [04:28.320 –> 04:34.960] playing Honkai Star Rail which I have not heard of this it’s the only gacha game I’ve ever enjoyed [04:34.960 –> 04:42.320] in any capacity. Interesting. So you know Genshin Impact? I know of it I have never actually. So [04:42.320 –> 04:46.720] this is made by the same company Hoyaverse I think they used to be called MiHoYo but they kind of [04:46.720 –> 04:54.560] rebranded because they’re like we want to be cool and what I like about this game is just like [04:54.560 –> 05:02.240] it’s got surprisingly good writing. Genshin was like not a Breath of the Wild clone but [05:02.240 –> 05:08.000] the inspiration was definitely there with gacha elements and the story I just could not care less [05:08.000 –> 05:14.720] about. This one is sort of a sci-fi thing and I feel like it’s a lot more compelling in like how [05:14.720 –> 05:20.560] it brings you into it and like there are so many small interactable things the thing that everybody [05:20.560 –> 05:25.440] likes to talk about and which I will as well is in the second like location you get to in the game [05:26.160 –> 05:31.440] you can interact with every trash can in the city and it will give you a unique piece of dialogue [05:31.440 –> 05:38.480] like a different you like wow the first time your character is like you have an urge to like shuffle [05:38.480 –> 05:43.200] through this garbage can and like loot it but you resist it and your friends are looking at you funny [05:45.040 –> 05:51.760] and it just kind of goes in plays straight the general player’s urge to just look [05:51.760 –> 05:57.520] through and loot every container so I think my favorite one was probably oh gosh what was the [05:57.520 –> 06:04.480] best trash can there was one where you get a note from the garbage king about to stop like rummaging [06:04.480 –> 06:09.920] through the trash cans because these are his streets. Can I just point out how ridiculous [06:10.000 –> 06:12.640] a phrase what was my favorite trash can [06:14.880 –> 06:19.680] there’s a lot of good trash cans in that game I don’t know I have to say it would make the [06:19.680 –> 06:25.280] older pokemon games much more exciting if it didn’t just say you find nothing yeah you you [06:25.280 –> 06:31.520] found nothing you found a rare candy it’s like you sense that this trash can is ancient it is the [06:31.520 –> 06:38.560] elder trash can of the city what do you do I don’t I’m obviously not going to play this game but what [06:38.560 –> 06:43.840] I find really interesting is so if you go into their like their list of games on google play [06:43.840 –> 06:50.640] it just has like the icons of the different games if you saw the the honkai star ray star rail icon [06:50.640 –> 06:55.120] next to the genshin impact icon like on your phone would you know which one to press [06:56.000 –> 07:01.760] no I mean it’s a pretty unified art style it’s not just a unified art style it’s basically the [07:01.760 –> 07:07.760] same icon it’s just it’s just that the one character has one eye left eye open the other [07:07.760 –> 07:14.080] one has the right eye open and their hair is a different color that’s it well okay oh I see what [07:14.080 –> 07:20.800] you’re yeah it’s basically identical very different okay well I don’t know I don’t know [07:20.800 –> 07:24.960] they are different character they may well be slightly different but do you know which is which [07:25.680 –> 07:31.280] no you wouldn’t know without context yeah okay so what you’re saying is they should have a big trash [07:31.280 –> 07:38.320] can on the real one like a train or something yeah I didn’t even like talk about like what the [07:38.320 –> 07:41.760] game’s actually about I just wanted to let everybody know about the trash can it’s just like [07:41.760 –> 07:50.400] it’s an rpg which is fun uh you you pull characters and like the story’s okay uh I love that the text [07:50.400 –> 07:56.080] it it just kind of owns that it’s interesting to read something that was like written from a [07:56.560 –> 08:00.880] Chinese company because I feel like there’s a very distinct writing style that the whole [08:00.880 –> 08:05.120] team has and like I can’t tell if it’s like cultural or if it’s like just their specific [08:05.120 –> 08:09.520] team has a way of writing but it’s it’s very interesting I like a lot it’s interesting I [08:09.520 –> 08:14.880] wonder if I had 10 million downloads on gameplay how have I not heard of this before I don’t it [08:14.880 –> 08:19.840] only came out like a few months ago I think it was in the recent like sony direct or something [08:19.840 –> 08:24.400] they’re like yeah this is coming to ps5 oh I watched that I must have just ignored it [08:25.280 –> 08:31.840] very possible yeah it’s um I could definitely come across as just sort of generic anime but it it [08:31.840 –> 08:37.760] it has amused me fair enough I there’s a lot of care that has gone into like a lot of the [08:37.760 –> 08:42.720] side quests in this game and that’s honestly what I enjoy the most in a lot of games so [08:42.720 –> 08:47.840] I I appreciate it yep fair enough but if you want to know what this game actually is this [08:47.840 –> 08:51.680] I’ve given the most terrible description of it I mean let’s be honest if people if people know [08:51.680 –> 08:56.320] what genshin impact is then I’m sure genshin impact but with better writing will tell them [08:56.320 –> 08:59.840] everything they need to know good writing if you don’t know what genshin impact is you probably [08:59.840 –> 09:07.440] don’t want to know yeah rpg instead of just hitting things much better and it’s less boring [09:07.440 –> 09:15.360] I enjoy it more anyway uh other games tears of the kingdom that’s a good one I have already [09:15.360 –> 09:20.880] beaten this game uh yeah I’ve beaten it yeah yeah um I haven’t 100%ed it and I’m probably not going [09:20.880 –> 09:25.680] to 100% it even if you even if you ignore the korok seeds I’m probably not gonna 100 I might [09:25.680 –> 09:30.720] put some more time into it at some point um I will certainly go back with uh when they release the [09:30.720 –> 09:35.920] inevitable dlc which listeners will probably know about because I suspect it might be announced [09:35.920 –> 09:41.760] tomorrow yeah that would be that is quite likely at the time of this recording that yeah we are [09:41.760 –> 09:46.720] recording what 14 hours before the nintendo direct engines something like that I don’t [09:46.720 –> 09:51.760] I’m not gonna do more math no we don’t need to but anyway the important it’s tomorrow it’s very [09:51.760 –> 09:56.960] soon it’s less than a day away um but yeah so I’ll probably play some more when that comes out [09:56.960 –> 10:03.760] um but yeah I I might go back the thing is right like I the same thing happened with breath of the [10:03.760 –> 10:09.120] wild I really struggle with games where when you complete the final quest the final quest is not [10:09.120 –> 10:15.680] completed like you’re like I mean even if even if the world yeah even if the world was exactly [10:15.680 –> 10:19.600] the same right and even if you could go and still defeat them right I just I want it to say that [10:19.600 –> 10:24.960] that main quest is finished like having a quest that you cannot complete just even if it says [10:24.960 –> 10:30.320] 100% like if you do everything in the game it will say you’ve completed 100% that sure fine but [10:30.320 –> 10:35.120] there’s still something on incomplete there’s still a thing on my list that says incomplete [10:35.120 –> 10:41.360] it’s just it annoys me yeah I totally get that and this one’s even worse because there are two [10:42.000 –> 10:47.040] yeah there are two that you can’t get rid of in this game and I just it’s like they heard me [10:47.040 –> 10:51.040] complain about breath of the wild and went how about we make him more annoyed by adding a second [10:51.040 –> 10:57.680] one we are going to mess this up for al specifically so annoying anyway but it’s a good game I like it [10:58.400 –> 11:03.920] and yes I have completed the main story very nice yeah I am I’ve been taking a break for a little [11:03.920 –> 11:12.400] bit but I put in like probably like 50 hours into it so far amateur yeah no absolutely amateur it [11:12.400 –> 11:17.040] was funny though because I like oh I realize I didn’t put it but that’s whatever I put up like [11:17.040 –> 11:21.280] played like a tiny bit of a dragon quest game the other day that I’ve been playing over the [11:21.280 –> 11:28.320] past three years and it’s like just got to 30 hours whereas I beat breath of the wild 50 or [11:28.320 –> 11:35.360] not beat it but played 50 hours of it like just a few weeks yeah yeah yeah I’m about like halfway [11:35.360 –> 11:43.360] through the game main quest wise I’ve got two of the main dungeons or whatever the different the [11:43.360 –> 11:50.800] different areas temples as I think temples yeah yeah and I’m right I think I last time I stopped [11:50.800 –> 11:54.560] I just made it to Tarrytown and I was about to go in and see what’s going on over there [11:55.280 –> 12:00.000] I do like Tarrytown I mean everybody loves Tarrytown it’s great have you been not have [12:00.000 –> 12:04.800] you should also you should make sure you do all the Tarrytown stuff there’s some noted there’s [12:04.800 –> 12:10.960] one very particularly good thing about okay cool I will make sure to be thorough I uh I really enjoy [12:10.960 –> 12:16.400] the town quest I haven’t finished Hateno but I did like everything except for I think the last quest [12:16.400 –> 12:22.080] the mayoral election thing yeah I haven’t done that myself um I enjoyed it quite a bit it was [12:22.080 –> 12:26.400] just I just liked going around the town and like talking to everybody and helping them with stuff [12:26.400 –> 12:30.000] yeah I definitely need to do at some point because I believe that’s the only way you can like [12:30.000 –> 12:35.520] buy a second Hylian Shield if your first one breaks really interesting yeah well you’ll have [12:35.520 –> 12:40.160] to I guess check it out when if you feel like you need to prep for the dlc or something yeah I [12:40.160 –> 12:44.400] wouldn’t be surprised if if they announce the dlc and I’m like I must do more of this game I think [12:44.400 –> 12:51.120] I think I’m technically at 54 complete but that presumably includes all the core exceeds all the [12:51.200 –> 12:56.080] rain which both of them I just I don’t really I mean maybe I would care about the cooking but [12:56.080 –> 13:02.400] the cooking might be fun because it’s like yeah all the recipes yeah yeah the the recipe book is [13:02.400 –> 13:06.000] annoying because it like it felt like it was going to be like oh you can just like press a thing and [13:06.000 –> 13:10.400] it will make the thing rather than having to select but no it’s not it’s it’s literally just [13:10.400 –> 13:16.160] a log the reference which is useful and it’s nice it’s basically it’s basically the curry dicks right [13:16.160 –> 13:21.760] like I appreciate it compared to breath of the wild oh sure and I was sure I’m not going to [13:21.760 –> 13:25.280] remember anything yeah yeah no absolutely it’s nice to be able to go like oh these are the ones [13:25.280 –> 13:29.680] I’ve actually done already so that you can complete the certainly the the side quests I [13:29.680 –> 13:34.560] could see myself doing uh finishing them off and whatever I don’t know why they have two different [13:34.560 –> 13:39.920] they’ve got side quests and I think they’re just to like indicate like how much of an undertaking [13:39.920 –> 13:44.960] it’s going to be there’s side quests side adventures side adventure yeah yeah it just [13:44.960 –> 13:49.840] it’s weird that well first of all it’s weird they don’t kind of describe the difference I guess you [13:49.840 –> 13:55.680] just have to infer from the word and secondly they are separated by shrine quests like it goes main [13:55.680 –> 14:02.240] quest yeah that is a little side quest in between their shrine quest side adventure yeah and then [14:02.240 –> 14:07.200] weird that then the memories is like in that list as well but anyway I’m not going to question their [14:07.200 –> 14:12.480] UI decisions that is not my field of expertise it is a little weird though I will question them [14:12.480 –> 14:18.400] all I want please do someone must um I mean it’s not really like you know we must take it down [14:20.000 –> 14:25.280] nobody’s questioning these bad decisions no it’s still it’s still a very good take [14:25.280 –> 14:32.960] nintendo to task about their terrible nobody ever criticizes them ever ever it’s never been done [14:32.960 –> 14:41.120] we’re the first yes here’s the kingdom good game good game and uh I feel like I’m talking too much [14:41.120 –> 14:44.880] about these video games but we’re definitely not I don’t know what else we’re gonna talk about by [14:44.880 –> 14:50.720] the pier we’ll be pretty short yeah uh I’ll I’ll talk about uh hard space and then we can talk [14:50.720 –> 14:56.400] about bloom which I’m also playing which I have thoughts and it’s definitely relative relevant [14:56.400 –> 15:02.560] it’s definitely relevant to the podcast as well yeah yeah um hard spaceship breaker uh is a game [15:02.560 –> 15:08.240] I picked up I don’t know when a while ago uh it’s you’re just dismantling ships in space it’s a [15:08.240 –> 15:14.160] simulation where you dismantle ships in space that that’s basically it it’s uh I it was kind [15:14.160 –> 15:20.560] of stressful at first but like I as person yes it’s a first person game you are like physically [15:20.560 –> 15:25.920] taking apart a ship you’ve got like a cutter tool um you have a grapple to let you pull things [15:25.920 –> 15:31.520] towards you or pull yourself towards things you can’t choose it’s simply like are you heavier [15:31.520 –> 15:37.840] than the object or is the object heavier than you or your whole force um fair enough yeah um [15:37.840 –> 15:42.480] and then what’s the other tool I think you’ll get bombs at some point I have yet to use them at all [15:43.120 –> 15:50.000] um but they are needed for uh the later game introduces elements of like sometimes ships are [15:50.000 –> 15:55.440] like pressurized inside so like you need to depressurize them and sometimes you can’t [15:56.080 –> 16:02.560] do that manually so you have to uh throw a bomb and get away rapid depressurization yes [16:02.560 –> 16:07.200] rapidly pressurization it sounds like the way that um spacex would describe explosions [16:08.080 –> 16:16.400] uh yeah if you like um just it’s very much so this game is set like in the late let’s see it’s [16:16.400 –> 16:22.080] like 2400 I want to say is somewhere in that somewhere that century I think the game takes [16:22.080 –> 16:27.600] place and it’s like the future and all of earth thanks for clarifying that’s the future yeah [16:27.600 –> 16:33.040] yeah it’s the future uh all of earth is ruled by a giant mega corp that you work for [16:33.040 –> 16:40.720] of course so it’s there is a wealth of commentary on uh maybe one company shouldn’t own everything [16:40.720 –> 16:45.920] in the world and uh it comes through in the dialogue there was a one of the uh writers on [16:45.920 –> 16:50.080] this game is someone I follow on twitter so I was like oh I can kind of see their style poking [16:50.080 –> 16:55.680] through here a little bit I think so I’ve been enjoying just they they sort of weave the story [16:55.680 –> 17:00.720] in by having your co-workers will like talk to you either in between shifts or just kind of at [17:00.720 –> 17:06.560] the beginning of the shift over the intercom so that’s fun verified on steam deck yeah it’s pretty [17:06.560 –> 17:12.000] good I enjoyed it would recommend I need to I have not finished it yet but I’ve gotten through the [17:12.000 –> 17:16.080] first act I think there are three acts I’m not sure can you go back and replay them because it [17:16.080 –> 17:20.080] feels like the sort of game that I’m not going to play it because I’m not a huge fan of first person [17:20.080 –> 17:26.080] and stuff like that except in exceptional circumstances um but it feels like the sort [17:26.080 –> 17:32.480] of thing that you could just go back to and it’d be kind of you know repetitive and oh absolutely [17:33.040 –> 17:38.080] relaxing in that sort of way they yeah besides the campaign mode you can basically just I think [17:38.080 –> 17:43.040] they have like a free play mode where you just kind of pick any ship to dismantle any because [17:43.040 –> 17:47.360] there are like different types of ships in the game and then also I think there’s like some sort [17:47.360 –> 17:55.200] of like race mode where you’re like trying to race against somebody else to dismantle it faster or [17:55.200 –> 18:00.400] something the the game gives you like shifts in 15 minute chunks usually I don’t know if [18:01.200 –> 18:05.840] it would limit to that I haven’t touched the mode at all to be honest but it’s a cool option for [18:05.840 –> 18:13.760] people to have competitive ship dismantling interesting mm-hmm and then finally bloom which [18:13.760 –> 18:18.960] I just picked up yesterday uh so I’ve not gotten super far in but I’m enjoying it quite a bit oh [18:18.960 –> 18:24.640] in yeah enjoy I what what um without story spoilers like how sure how much have you [18:25.680 –> 18:31.680] let’s see in terms of here I will open it on my playdate right now let me make sure the the sound [18:31.680 –> 18:35.280] is off so I’m not because I guess there’s two there’s two kind of main parts to this game and [18:35.280 –> 18:41.440] one is like this is it’s just a it’s just a very simple farming game right kind of you’re [18:41.440 –> 18:46.080] I think of the farming very much like Animal Crossing farming um that’s the kind of level [18:46.080 –> 18:50.400] it is but obviously the graphics are much simpler and then there’s the the story aspect to it which [18:50.400 –> 18:57.360] you can you can do as uh I will say as slowly as you want probably not as quick as you want [18:57.360 –> 19:02.160] but as slowly as you want honestly I feel like I’ve been going too quick so I’m I’m fine with [19:02.160 –> 19:09.760] that I enjoy the sort of leisurely play pace of things um right now in terms of upgrades I have [19:10.640 –> 19:18.560] three four twelve spots on the roof to plant things so not bad yeah uh I’ve got about like [19:18.560 –> 19:25.520] in terms of chat messages I’ve met aside from like the shop in the horoscope a day in the opening [19:25.520 –> 19:32.000] tutorial I have seven people I’ve met so far okay I have messages with I’ve been playing the little [19:32.320 –> 19:39.520] uh what’s it called star shooter hoshiko game which is fun yes I was like man this game’s easy [19:39.520 –> 19:43.440] and then I beat the first like record and I was like man this game’s hard [19:45.440 –> 19:51.600] it’s easy until it isn’t it’s easy until it isn’t yeah my current high score is 680 so I could not [19:51.600 –> 19:58.800] tell you what mine was not bad not great but fun cool yeah no it’s a good game I really enjoy it [19:58.800 –> 20:03.200] um I can’t remember whether I’ve gone back and played all of the the update oh yeah because [20:03.200 –> 20:07.040] there was a new content added there was yeah I definitely started playing it but I can’t remember [20:07.040 –> 20:10.800] whether I finished it so I’ll need to try that at some point once I definitely once we finish this [20:10.800 –> 20:16.480] episode because I’m not closing pop it open I’m not closing by the pier just now it’s no might [20:16.480 –> 20:20.560] open that for reference as well I think it’s about time we go into it well first what have you been [20:20.560 –> 20:28.400] up to uh well yeah so not very many games because um my switch is still broken um although hopefully [20:28.560 –> 20:32.880] the time this episode comes out it will not be broken anymore we’ll see I dearly hope so yeah [20:33.520 –> 20:38.960] so it’s with nintendo now they have it they are just going it says it could take up to 20 days [20:39.600 –> 20:47.040] wow which is just such a stupid like whatever um it’s with nintendo now it’s it gave me like [20:47.040 –> 20:51.600] it’s in a better place now we sent we sent the switch to a farm upstate [20:51.600 –> 20:58.720] yeah yeah so um I’ve been playing obviously by the pier for for this podcast and there’s [20:58.720 –> 21:04.800] another game I’ve been playing for uh another episode of fishing week that will be recorded [21:04.800 –> 21:11.760] next week I think I’m recording that um maybe it’s two weeks I’ve lost track um that’s that’s [21:11.760 –> 21:19.040] about it games wise I’ve been uh going through the mission impossible films um so I am now up [21:19.040 –> 21:24.640] up to date with them the new one I think something like that so um I’ve been enjoying them I had seen [21:24.640 –> 21:29.520] a couple of them before but I couldn’t remember how many so I just like watched them all um which [21:29.520 –> 21:35.360] is pretty standard for me I started like properly tracking what I’m watching a couple years ago um [21:35.360 –> 21:39.360] so there’s a lot of things I have watched that haven’t tracked um and that’s why I’m like let [21:39.360 –> 21:43.600] me watch all of this franchise and then it’s all logged and the next time when there’s a new one [21:43.600 –> 21:48.080] out comes out I don’t need to go oh did I watch that no I have because I have them logged so I [21:48.080 –> 21:53.440] did that for mission impossible I did it for transformers um there was something else that [21:53.440 –> 21:59.360] I can’t remember but yeah so I’ve done that for a few few franchises this year I liked them um I [21:59.360 –> 22:06.400] think there’s kind of there’s a they have have you seen many of them uh I think I’ve only seen like [22:06.400 –> 22:11.040] snippets I’ve never sat down and watched one through so one thing that they have in the films [22:11.040 –> 22:16.080] is like there’s technology that can like realistically create someone’s face as a mask [22:16.080 –> 22:19.600] and they also have these little things that you put on your throat and it gives you their voice [22:19.600 –> 22:25.120] as well right so so that that is something that it’s not even a spoiler right that is literally [22:25.120 –> 22:30.880] in the first one minute of the film the first film right like it is literally the first thing [22:30.880 –> 22:37.920] is somebody pretending to be somebody else um and the problem with that is because they did it in [22:37.920 –> 22:43.200] the first film it means that they can’t pretend like that technology doesn’t exist so I think [22:43.200 –> 22:48.880] almost every film I think every single film has at least one scene where halfway through [22:48.880 –> 22:54.240] the scene you’re like oh wait that’s not that person is it and then it’s like somebody dies [22:54.240 –> 22:57.200] and you’re like no I can’t believe they killed them and it’s like oh wait a minute they didn’t [22:57.200 –> 23:06.320] kill them it was somebody else every single film has that um I won’t tell you what scenes so it’s [23:06.320 –> 23:10.720] not given but yeah like this is the thing like by the fifth one I was already predicting that this [23:10.720 –> 23:14.480] would happen right like because it’s like they just do it all the time and there’s a few cases [23:14.480 –> 23:18.160] where they’re like oh we can’t use masks for this one because of this reason but they still use [23:18.160 –> 23:24.560] masks at some point in the film right it’s like oh my word so I get why they can’t just kind of [23:24.560 –> 23:29.600] ignore it because it is technology that exists but it also feels like you know maybe they could have [23:29.600 –> 23:34.640] had some plot reason to get rid of them and never use them again because after six films it gets a [23:34.640 –> 23:40.080] bit tiring having that same thing happen yeah it just kind of wrote themselves into a corner with [23:40.160 –> 23:45.520] realm of possibility is something they always have to account for exactly exactly but overall [23:45.520 –> 23:50.240] I think they’re I think they’re pretty good action films with with either kind of um they’re one of [23:50.240 –> 23:56.880] them uh I won’t say which just so it doesn’t spoil it but one of them was like so many double crossings [23:56.880 –> 24:03.680] that I was losing track of who was on what side at any one point and it just felt like have you [24:03.680 –> 24:09.920] ever seen the um uh the Rick and Morty episode about the heist no I haven’t seen it it’s a very [24:09.920 –> 24:15.120] funny episode and it’s just basically making fun of heists basically it’s like the entire episode [24:15.120 –> 24:19.840] is just constantly like double crossing double crossing double crossing to like a ridiculous [24:19.840 –> 24:25.760] degree and it just felt like this film that it was like this is this is what um created that episode [24:25.760 –> 24:30.800] isn’t it it was this film it was like so many double crossings it’s like there was a space [24:30.800 –> 24:36.160] where it was like in one minute I’m pretty sure they double crossed like five times and I’m like [24:36.160 –> 24:43.520] what just happened here but overall they’re fun I enjoy them so I’m looking forward to the new one [24:43.520 –> 24:48.080] or I will have been looking forward to the you’re gonna go see it and you have seen it by the time [24:48.080 –> 24:54.480] this has come out yes hopefully cool uh yeah I think that’s thing that’s that’s that’s about it [24:55.040 –> 24:58.000] so only 25 minutes of what we’ve been up to uh [24:59.520 –> 25:03.120] I think I think they should cover it yeah should we talk about by the pier [25:03.120 –> 25:09.840] why not we’re here so we are the playdate players um so we bought is that our team name now the play [25:10.880 –> 25:16.320] the play the playdate players it sounds sounds a bit yeah no there’s not there’s not really a [25:16.320 –> 25:21.360] good name no we’ll workshop something play daters no that’s not even that’s that’s worse yeah that [25:21.360 –> 25:27.680] is worse uh we have play dates because we are the people that for some reason spent money on this [25:27.680 –> 25:33.120] thing uh which I definitely don’t regret like that’s not sarcastic I don’t regret it but as [25:33.120 –> 25:38.480] I’ve said many a time you probably shouldn’t buy one but they’re great it’s one of those things [25:38.480 –> 25:43.440] where like I don’t know I’m glad I bought one but when I got it in the mail it’s like oh this is a [25:43.440 –> 25:48.960] nice surprise but it was uh it was more like a gift to future me yeah a nice surprise that I [25:48.960 –> 25:55.040] paid for 18 months ago yeah that’s what I love about kickstarter like I have so many kickstarters [25:55.040 –> 25:59.120] and just like every couple of months I’m like oh a new game that I paid for three years ago [26:00.240 –> 26:06.560] yeah I’m I’m really I’m coming around to that I enjoy the the surprise oh it’s it’s a fun thing [26:06.560 –> 26:11.520] it’s I already spent the money I don’t it like it was getting spent either way but yeah yeah [26:11.520 –> 26:16.800] instead it’s a nice pleasant surprise instead of a well and the thing is I guess I can spend money [26:16.800 –> 26:22.560] and the thing is buying one now for later compared to buying one now for now it’s not [26:22.560 –> 26:26.640] like I’m going to play the game now anyway I have too many games so I may as well buy one [26:26.640 –> 26:32.240] for the future absolutely this is our pitch for the play date you’re gonna want to play it [26:32.240 –> 26:39.120] eventually just just buy a copy it’ll get there and like I I think they’re mostly caught up but [26:39.120 –> 26:44.320] like you know a few months half a year you’ll be like oh what’s this and it’ll just just be a fun [26:44.320 –> 26:49.920] thing to try out there’s like I got so many games that like a lot of them I will probably never [26:49.920 –> 26:54.640] touch but like even just today the day we’re recording this a bunch of games came out for [26:54.640 –> 26:59.840] the play date that I’m looking thinking about going through and picking up a couple so yeah [26:59.840 –> 27:03.760] and I think the interesting thing about most of the games is they’re not just like oh you could [27:03.760 –> 27:08.240] play this on anything like sure there are similar sorts of games with some of them like there’s a [27:08.240 –> 27:12.640] kind of snake clone which is changing things up sure you could guess but it’s not the same [27:13.200 –> 27:17.120] right and there’s some there’s something really charming about it and it’s not I would never [27:17.120 –> 27:22.320] suggest that this should be people’s only games console no but it’s a nice as an additional I [27:22.320 –> 27:28.240] agree it’s it’s fun to have like I mean I think that was a lot of the appeal of the DS2 is like [27:28.240 –> 27:33.040] you’ve got two screens what can you do with two screens and like this set of buttons like what [27:33.040 –> 27:37.840] kind of gameplay does that create and sometimes there was a lot of fun stuff that came with it [27:37.840 –> 27:43.520] yeah yeah I know definitely definitely cool so I guess a quick explanation of by the pier [27:43.520 –> 27:50.240] it is a play date fishing game where you I mean well let’s let’s just be honest about it you use [27:50.240 –> 27:55.600] the crank that you know that’s that’s the gimmick they they put a crank on this thing they were [27:55.600 –> 28:00.960] asking for fishing games when they said when they did that I’m frankly surprised there aren’t [28:00.960 –> 28:08.560] billions more uh well I mean maybe there are but I haven’t heard of them hey uh don’t don’t don’t [28:09.440 –> 28:14.080] don’t get into that don’t fall down that hole I have a list as long as my arm of games [28:15.200 –> 28:20.480] I’m both fishing and farming games oh yeah yeah there’s a so there’s a tag on h.io right for [28:20.480 –> 28:26.320] play for play date and you can just kind of you know scroll endlessly through them um now that [28:26.320 –> 28:31.520] I’m getting into play date was this is gonna start being dangerous I think yeah yeah especially [28:31.520 –> 28:36.160] as so many of the itch ones are obviously free or very very cheap like I think this one was [28:36.160 –> 28:42.800] technically free but like they suggest two dollars um so so why not buy it it’s two dollars yeah [28:42.800 –> 28:48.080] exactly exactly and I think the fun thing about that is like oh you don’t technically have to pay [28:48.080 –> 28:54.000] it um but if you do maybe give us this like I I just I was like oh I’m not gonna give you two [28:54.000 –> 28:58.560] dollars I’ll give you five dollars right like it was just like such an easy thing to go well [28:58.560 –> 29:04.320] if you’re asking for two I’ll give you five like it’s such a small amount extra um being such a low [29:04.320 –> 29:09.200] amount anyway and like you know I mean let’s be honest this game probably isn’t really worth five [29:09.200 –> 29:15.840] dollars it’s a very simple game but it’s such a small amount of money that it’s for me obviously [29:15.840 –> 29:20.640] I understand everybody has different financial situations but it felt worth it to me and I like [29:20.640 –> 29:25.920] to support people um and small devs and stuff like that oh man there’s so many little games on [29:25.920 –> 29:32.160] here I’m gonna spend too much money what have I done no I was on itch.io already so this was just [29:32.160 –> 29:36.720] kind of when you reminded me by play date existed this was sort of an eventual thing that was gonna [29:36.720 –> 29:44.560] happen so this is a very simple fishing game so you’re you’re on a pier um it’s a side side [29:44.560 –> 29:53.440] profile view um and you you press a to throw to go back the way I can’t remember what this [29:53.440 –> 30:00.800] terminology for this in fishing I’m sure but I can’t remember and then you you move the you like [30:00.800 –> 30:08.240] flick the play date forward and let go of a to cast it out and then it goes in the water and then [30:08.240 –> 30:14.560] you wait and a fish nibbles and then you crank that thing like nothing on earth except kind of [30:14.560 –> 30:17.680] so but we’ll get into that we’ll get we’ll get into that we’ll get into the details of that but [30:17.680 –> 30:24.160] that’s basically it right like you you cast out a fish bites you you crank to pull it in [30:26.080 –> 30:29.440] and just like a whole bunch of different fish and you get them at different points [30:29.440 –> 30:34.720] basically you you have to like put the line out at different points which I’ve it took me a while [30:34.720 –> 30:40.720] to figure out that I got really good at casting but that means I got really bad at casting a small [30:40.720 –> 30:45.920] amount so it was like oh how do I get the small amounts again you can just you can just reel it [30:45.920 –> 30:51.840] back in before a fish goes on and then you’re closer in and it was much easier once I realized [30:51.840 –> 30:57.120] that it took me ages of just going like I can’t get a small amount anymore I’m too good at this [30:57.120 –> 31:03.520] now I can’t remember how I was bad at it before suffering from success yeah exactly exactly yeah [31:03.520 –> 31:09.600] I uh I think I threw it out pretty far right away I was like oh I didn’t even okay I guess I’m [31:09.600 –> 31:14.480] throwing it out this far I guess cast that’s the word for it yes casting the line this far [31:15.440 –> 31:21.600] uh it’s it’s a very simple mechanic and I like that it makes use of the play dates like gyro [31:21.600 –> 31:28.480] I guess it can detect that it’s being moved around yeah uh beyond that I mean what do we want to [31:28.480 –> 31:32.080] tackle for I know there’s so much to talk good question well let’s talk about the actual fishing [31:32.080 –> 31:37.760] mechanic itself right so um yeah so we talked about the the casting it’s it’s fun I can see [31:37.760 –> 31:43.120] how it would be annoying if you wanted to do this a lot um it I think I don’t know if it’s possible [31:43.120 –> 31:51.200] to like to cast it without flicking it um but I guess it doesn’t massively matter right um the [31:51.200 –> 31:55.840] but then once you’ve got it out you’re you’re reeling in with the crank this is what we didn’t [31:55.840 –> 32:02.320] we kind of alluded to before is that you have to you’ve got a timer and the timer is different [32:02.320 –> 32:09.200] depending on the fish I think um because some of them certainly moved faster than others and you [32:09.200 –> 32:16.640] have to reel it in before the timer runs out but here’s the catch hey um the there’s a tension [32:16.640 –> 32:21.520] meter and if the tension meter goes all the way to the top your line snaps so you have to like [32:21.520 –> 32:26.320] reel it in and then stop and then reel it in and then stomp and then reel it in and stop and uh [32:27.200 –> 32:32.480] it’s an interesting I think the the timer made that really stressful to me like if it weren’t [32:32.480 –> 32:38.320] for the timer I think it would be a lot less it’s certainly not relaxing in that aspect of things [32:38.320 –> 32:43.520] like if you think about um have you played spirit fader yes so the fishing and spirit fader is kind [32:43.520 –> 32:50.240] of similar where you have the tension meter um and it’s but there’s no timer on that so like you [32:50.240 –> 32:54.080] hold it to reel it in and then you notice it’s going too much you let go and then you you press [32:54.080 –> 32:59.040] it again when you think there’s enough enough time as a lapse that it’s not and it just if you do it [32:59.040 –> 33:04.080] correctly eventually you’ll get it in whereas this is like if you don’t do it fast enough and then [33:04.080 –> 33:08.880] pause for the right for just long enough that it goes down enough like you’re not going to get it [33:08.880 –> 33:14.240] in and that that timer aspect is kind of makes that stressful right because if it reaches the [33:14.240 –> 33:21.600] end of the timer you’re the line also snaps yeah so either way it’s just not gonna happen there is [33:21.600 –> 33:28.160] it and let me tell you the snap sound of the uh the line is something about it is just very [33:28.160 –> 33:35.200] visceral and infuriating it is it is deeply upsetting I’m quite impressed [33:37.760 –> 33:43.440] yeah I’m trying to so there’s also I mean the graphics are incredibly simple like it’s a stick [33:43.440 –> 33:51.040] man um but um I think overall the gameplay is fun I mean that that we that’s literally it we’ve [33:51.040 –> 33:55.200] talked about the entire gameplay I mean yeah that’s basically the game uh if you press the [33:55.200 –> 34:01.120] little home button on the play date there you can click how to play and it’ll tell you how to play [34:01.680 –> 34:05.760] which by the way I definitely needed to do I could not figure out for the life of me how to play [34:05.760 –> 34:11.280] before I did that and the okay let’s talk about the how to play let’s let’s just talk about that [34:11.280 –> 34:14.880] first because it says this is the instructions it gives you it says how to cast the fishing rod [34:14.880 –> 34:19.440] you press and hold a you swing and flick the play date forward then you release a right at the end [34:19.440 –> 34:25.200] of the swing flick which is cool I’m glad yeah it teaches it’s nice to have that page it does not [34:25.200 –> 34:32.160] tell you the process of reeling in fish so I was immediately getting fish at the very end of the [34:32.160 –> 34:36.480] screen and I was like trying to reel them in and it just kept snapping and I could never get them [34:37.120 –> 34:42.480] yeah to come in and I like I didn’t understand what the tension line was I didn’t understand [34:42.480 –> 34:48.800] like what the timer was I’m like is the timer like how close the fish is to me and is the tension [34:48.800 –> 34:55.840] line like I guess hitting the top of it’s bad what do I it was incredibly frustrating I don’t [34:55.840 –> 35:03.600] but to figure out I’m just like I know I’m an idiot but I I wish I just understood what I’m [35:03.600 –> 35:07.920] doing wrong here um so I I think I was just getting like the hardest fish right off the [35:07.920 –> 35:13.760] bat or something yeah so like I mean probably important to say you can scroll down in that how [35:13.760 –> 35:23.600] to and it does tell you I tried and it let’s see why is it it oh my gosh so it does tell you all [35:23.600 –> 35:27.760] that information down there but it could I was like I’m sure there must be more of this because [35:27.760 –> 35:32.160] I could see like a tiny bit of rolling off I’m like maybe it’s just glitched but I was just [35:32.160 –> 35:38.800] pulling it towards me instead of pushing it away wow I’m really quite clever yeah I think it could [35:38.800 –> 35:42.560] do a better job of like it doesn’t show you that initially and there’s no like kind of like [35:42.560 –> 35:48.000] interactive tutorial which might be asking a bit much for a free game for it for this but sensibly [35:48.000 –> 35:52.080] two dollar game yeah at least showing you the how to play right like it took me a while to actually [35:52.080 –> 35:57.840] realize that there was a how to play thing um and then uh actually go into it and read it and I [35:57.840 –> 36:01.440] obviously then knew how to play as soon as I’d read that like I didn’t actually need an interactive [36:01.440 –> 36:06.640] tutorial um it’s it’s I’m looking through it now and it under it explains it quite well quite [36:06.640 –> 36:11.920] easily yeah yeah yeah definitely there are definitely some fish that have still failed [36:11.920 –> 36:17.280] to catch like I’ve not played an hour maybe played about an hour or something um but there [36:17.280 –> 36:22.080] are still some fish that I just I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do because I don’t [36:22.080 –> 36:28.160] know whether I’d like need to do like keep the tension at a specific point but like every time [36:28.240 –> 36:34.080] I let go it then moves further away okay I think I have a hypothesis on this now I guess I’ll have [36:34.080 –> 36:40.800] to test it but it’ll be kind of pointless after the podcast to report in but uh I see now that [36:40.800 –> 36:45.200] says the exclamation point means the fish is struggling and that tension increases much more [36:45.200 –> 36:49.760] rapidly so before I would always do it then because I was like it’s gonna get away faster [36:49.760 –> 36:54.480] is what I assumed the exclamation point means it does go well this is the thing that’s when it does [36:54.480 –> 36:59.920] move away so like I’ve tried yeah I’ve tried stopping when it has the exclamation park and [36:59.920 –> 37:04.320] exclamation point and yeah it moves away from you quite fast at that point as well so like [37:05.200 –> 37:10.320] I’m not sure it’s it’s a little tricky uh yeah I’ve gotten every fish in the game except for [37:10.320 –> 37:15.840] one I believe and I don’t really know where or what it is yeah sometimes I’ll just just can’t [37:15.840 –> 37:20.320] get the thing that’s on the end of the line and it can be pretty frustrating there are three that [37:20.320 –> 37:25.840] I haven’t caught um and I’m not sure what they are I’m pretty sure I have one on the line right [37:25.840 –> 37:31.200] now I’m definitely not going to get it in though because I it’s further away than the timer is so [37:31.200 –> 37:36.560] yeah I think I think what I’m saying is I think this game would be a lot more enjoyable and I [37:36.560 –> 37:42.800] would probably spend more time playing it if it weren’t for the timer right um and it’s like even [37:42.800 –> 37:48.720] if the tension like got more and more as you went along so in essence there was a timer there [37:49.280 –> 37:55.360] right but it was still possible to do it like you just had to like do it really really slowly [37:55.360 –> 38:01.600] or something that would be more enjoyable I just like you know this is about cottagecore games [38:01.600 –> 38:06.640] we talk about games that are generally relaxing and that sort of stuff right um and this seems [38:06.640 –> 38:12.080] like a good time killer but I don’t know if I would call it relaxing no no and this is the [38:12.080 –> 38:17.200] thing like because actually like spirit faders fishing when I talked about before I think is [38:17.200 –> 38:23.040] generally quite enjoyable right like I like the challenge it’s not just like oh you press the [38:23.040 –>
