We sit down with Pokemaster JoCat to learn a thing to or about the wild world of Nuzlockes! JoCat is fresh off their own Pokemon Journey and shares all the required rules for our upcoming Soul Silver / Heart Gold adventure. But It doesn't stop there: Garrett and Kyle have built the tech to take this adventure to the next level. Our upcoming Soul Link adventure will be also Randomized. Jocat has a few tips and house rules that might elevate some pressure, but it's going to be an uphill battle with our terribily outdated knowledge. We also open some random starters to get a feel for the meta and what we will need to know. Supportourbromance.com and all your pulls will be Garchomp.

In episode 577 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers dig into Steam's new personalized calendar feature and what it means for how indie games get discovered, wishlisted, and surfaced to players. They break down the difference between following and wishlisting, why launch timing still matters so much, and how Steam keeps finding new ways to put indie games in front of the right people. Then they shift into How Many Dudes beta testing, where player feedback is reshaping difficulty tuning and revealing just how differently people approach the same fight.Support How Many Dudes!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/how-many-dudesTrailer Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgQM1SceEpISteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3934270/How_Many_Dudes00:00 Cold Open00:36 Introduction and Welcome01:35 Steam Changes and Their Impact04:36 The New Calendar Feature on Steam07:28 Wishlist Dynamics and User Engagement10:38 Developer Experience on Steam13:28  Comparative Analysis of Game Platforms16:28 Thoughts on Steam's Effectiveness21:16 The Influence of Game Launch Timing23:34 Understanding Game Following vs. Wishlisting26:36 The Unique Position of Steam in Gaming29:11 The Evolution of PC Gaming33:52 Beta Testing Insights and Goals44:37 The Beta Testing Experience47:34 Feedback Dynamics in Game Development50:30 Game Mechanics and Player Engagement54:38 Balancing Game Elements and Player Perception59:31 The Evolution of Game CharactersTo stay up to date with all of our buttery goodness subscribe to the podcast on Apple podcasts (apple.co/1LxNEnk) or wherever you get your audio goodness. If you want to get more involved in the Butterscotch community, hop into our DISCORD server at discord.gg/bscotch and say hello! Submit questions at https://www.bscotch.net/podcast, disclose all of your secrets to podcast@bscotch.net, and send letters, gifts, and tasty treats to https://bit.ly/bscotchmailbox. We also built Ludokit, a tool for managing store pages, promo art, localization, achievements, credits, fonts, change logs, and more.

Most pelvic health providers think the way to get more time with their kids is to see fewer patients. It sounds logical. It's also exactly backward.In this episode, Kelly gets real with her Power Circle clients about the trap that keeps solo practitioners stuck — the belief that slowing down protects you. It doesn't. When you're the only one in your practice, one sick kid, one bad week, one cancelled day means a thousand dollars gone and a schedule in freefall. You can't take time off. You can't get sick. You can't be a mom first, because the whole thing depends on you showing up.Kelly breaks down why momentum isn't optional right now — and why the providers who pump the brakes because growth feels "too fast" or "too much" end up missing more recitals, more games, and more ordinary Tuesday afternoons than the ones who pushed through the uncomfortable season of building a team.Two and a half therapists. That's all it takes to run a million-dollar practice. And a million-dollar practice is what buys you your life back.If you've been telling yourself you just don't want to grow that fast right now, this one's for you.If you don't have two providers, you effectively have zero — one sick day collapses the whole operationSeeing six to nine patients a week solo doesn't buy you time — it locks you into 12 hours of marketing on top of itThe path to more time with your kids runs through hiring, not scaling backSlowing momentum makes the next push 10x harder — fear disguises itself as practicalityTwo and a half therapists = a million-dollar practice. The math is simpler than most providers think

Ken and Lima react to CBS Sports analyst Emory Hunt's bold 10-win prediction for the Browns, which he's making with Shedeur Sanders as the starting quarterback. Ken pushes back hard, arguing that Shadeur hasn't earned the job and that his late-season wins came on the back of a defense led by Myles Garrett — not anything Sanders did at quarterback. The debate spills into whether it's fair to keep calling Shedeur a fifth-round pick, with Ken maintaining that the draft position is relevant context while Lima and Hunt's argument is that critics are being disingenuous by holding his round against him. Ken also takes a shot at the media coverage of the quarterback competition, saying the press conference questions didn't dig deep enough to expose how unsettled the situation really is.

The Nationals keep on responding and are now at a spot they haven't been since they won the World Series.

George Kontos shares his thoughts on the Giants' pitching staff and the challenges of facing lineups multiple times as starters struggle to go late in games and the bullpen as a whole has been leaky. He also discusses the importance of getting ahead of hitters and the key to success for the Giants' bullpen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carolina closed out the Stanley Cup Final in convincing fashion, with Games 5 and 6 reinforcing that the Hurricanes were simply the deeper, fresher and better team. Jordan Staal became the oldest Conn Smythe Trophy winner in NHL history at 37, a fitting choice for a club defined more by leadership, detail and teamwork than star power. Eric Tulsky’s roster-building philosophy was on full display throughout the run, identifying specific roles and targeting players whose underlying numbers fit them perfectly. Goaltending was once again a major storyline, as Frederik Andersen battled through injury and Brandon Bussi stepped in brilliantly late in the series, though Staal’s decision to hand the Cup to Andersen first spoke volumes about his importance to the group. The post-game celebrations produced memorable moments for the Staal brothers and Seth Jarvis, while Rod Brind’Amour’s fingerprints were everywhere—from the culture built over eight years of organizational consistency to the symbolic 35-pound block players lift after training sessions. Watching Brind’Amour celebrate with the Cup felt like a reunion with an old friend, capping a championship that was years in the making.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this edition of the Cubs REKAP Podcast, #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer talk about the #chicagocubs DISAPPOINTING stretch against the Athletics, Giants, and Rockies. 6 of their 7 home wins since the beginning of May have been walk-offs. The Cubs have played very poorly with men on base. Kap thinks that #dansbyswanson should be benched and used as a defensive replacement until he can prove he can hit. What should Craig Counsell do? Should the Cubs go after a top-of-the-line starter at the trade deadline? Will the Cubs be aggressive at the trade deadline? What changes should the Cubs make in the starting lineup? All that and more are answered, and the Cubs REKAP Podcast starts now!#takethat PRESENTED BY

Struggling with retention, churn, or adoption in your product, service, or program? Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide and see how to apply real behavioral design to your engagement: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Alan Yeats, CEO of Pocket Sized Hands, a co-development game studio in Dundee, Scotland, explains why the best learning games start with play and add the curriculum second. He walks through real projects, a knife-crime prevention game stopped cold by school firewalls and a stem cell science game built with Cambridge University, to show how co-design keeps everyone pointed at the same goal. Alan argues that the job is to find the underlying play and the real "why" behind a request, not to cram years of lessons into one product. Listeners come away with a practical filter for any educational or engagement project: build a genuinely good game first, then weave the learning in so people actually engage. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Key Takeaways Pocket Sized Hands built a polished Jackbox-style game to steer young people away from knife crime, then hit a wall when school IT firewalls blocked the phone-to-screen connection the experience ran on. The end user is never the only stakeholder a product has to satisfy. For Cambridge University, the studio corrected public misconceptions about stem cell science by running back-to-basics workshops to isolate the one message that mattered, rather than cramming an entire syllabus into a single game. Alan Yeats's rule for education clients who want to throw the whole textbook at a game: make it genuinely fun first, then layer the lessons in, because curriculum with no play earns no engagement to teach against. Co-design converts a client from someone who merely commissioned a product into an owner who evangelizes it, which is why Pocket Sized Hands opens projects with a workshop for facilitators and real users instead of a written spec. Pitching the visual register openly, from a corporate LinkedIn-style progress bar to a fully magical world, lets a team test how far it can push a client before the client pushes back with "that is too much fun."

"The connection between the solver and the setter is really important." If you're a daily puzzle lover, your morning might start something like mine: pouring a cup of coffee and jumpstarting the brain with my favorite snack-sized games. Chief among those are the snappy games at LinkedIn, such as Queens, Zip, Tango, and Patches. The man behind this collection of puzzles powering LinkedIn's Games section is Thomas Snyder. Thomas Snyder is a three-time World Sudoku Champion, co-author of the foundational puzzle design book Puzzlecraft, and Principal Puzzle Master at LinkedIn Games. A Harvard trained chemist, Thomas is a scientist at heart. He has a methodical approach to puzzle solving and puzzle crafting that makes for satisfying logic puzzles. However, there's also a lot of artistry to the puzzles Thomas designs. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that each puzzle put out by LinkedIn is handcrafted. There is a playfulness and inventiveness to the layout and solve path. There's a dance between the puzzle creator and the solver. Thomas posts videos on LinkedIn of his solve path for the games, and he talks to us about the conversation that sparks. In fact, the whole reason behind the puzzle offerings at LinkedIn was to create opportunities for users to connect socially and bond over the games. I especially appreciated talking about puzzles that empathize with the solver and how to create approachable puzzles that can still delight expert players. LinkedIn just launched their newest game Wend, which is Thomas's take on a word search puzzle. We also played a game I wrote, which Thomas solved embarrassingly (for me) quickly, but we had fun, which is the whole point. If you enjoy zippy puzzle games, check out the LinkedIn Collection, and for even more fun games-on-the-go, listen to PG's Playhouse.     Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and the Reality Escape Convention.
