De 15 a 23 de Novembro decorre em Nantes, França, a 46a edição do Festival des 3 Continents (Festival dos Três Continentes). Um encontro que apresenta longas-metragens provenientes de África, América Latina e Ásia.A figurar na selecção oficial estão dois filmes lusófonos: “Manas” de Marianna Brennand e “Hanami” da cabo-verdiana Denise Fernandes. De 15 a 23 de Novembro decorre em Nantes, França, a 46a edição do Festival des 3 Continents (Festival dos Três Continentes). Um encontro que apresenta longas-metragens provenientes de África, América Latina e Ásia.Em entrevista à RFI, Aisha Rahim, programadora do Festival des 3 Continents, sublinha que a edição deste ano visa homenagear duas grandes figuras indianas: a actriz Shabana Azmi ao cineasta Raj Kapoor, “também conhecido Charlie Chaplin, do cinema indiano”.A figurar na selecção oficial estão dois filmes lusófonos: “Manas” de Marianna Brennand e “Hanami” da cabo-verdiana Denise Fernandes.“Hanami” de Denise Fernandes foi filmado na Ilha do Fogo, em Cabo Verde. Conta a história de uma família da “remota ilha vulcânica” de onde todos querem partir, mas onde Nana aprendeu a ficar. Nós, enquanto programadores, vemos muitos filmes, visitamos festivais, chegam-nos filmes que nos são enviados pelos mais diversos interlocutores da nossa indústria do cinema e penso que teremos visto o “Hanami” no Festival de Locarno. Foi uma uma descoberta para nós.Este filme da Denise Fernandes é a sua primeira longa-metragem. Uma das raras longas metragens de ficção filmadas em Cabo Verde.”Questionada sobre o que a seduziu neste filme, Aisha Rahim fala no “olhar original” e “carácter autoral” da película: “Eu gosto muito de “Hanami” pela nova visão do mundo que ele também põe em prática. O filme, em vez de se posicionar do lado do sofrimento, da separação, posiciona-se do lado da união ou da reunião, do diálogo, do perdão, da cura, da reconciliação, neste caso entre uma mãe e uma filha. E neste sentido, penso que é um filme, também ele único, que nos traz uma nova visão do mundo.” “Manas” é a primeira longa-metragem de ficção de Marianna Brennand e resulta de uma década de investigação. O filme retrata a vida de Marcielle, que vive na Ilha do Marajó, na Amazónia, lugar onde meninas e mulheres são sistematicamente violadas, exploradas e abusadas. A 46a edição do Festival des 3 Continents (Festival dos Três Continentes), decorre em Nantes, de 15 a 23 de Novembro. Um encontro que apresenta longas-metragens provenientes de África, América Latina e Ásia.

This edition's lineup brings many of the regular artist's new albums we've supported over many years. With David Wright's 30th solo release ‘Fade', his music drifts between waves of gentle ambience and the dynamism of pulsating sequences. Hailing from the mystical isles of New Zealand, long-established Spotted Peccary Music artist Rudy Adrian. Steve Hillman has always been drawn to early music from the Medieval period onwards into the Renaissance and beyond, and this is shown in his new album ‘Vestiges'. Jarguna, the Italian sonic alchemist Marco Billi's new release ‘Hanami' shimmers with luminous electronic ambience. Flip-Flap is pleased to announce the series of works chosen by Conrad Schnitzler and John 3:16 nine-track album The Pact, in which the American producer shows an enormous aptitude for combining different sound concepts such as industrial, post-metal, or dark wave.

Episode 144. This week, we “think pink”! Hanami is the Japanese tradition of picnicking under cherry trees in full bloom. It's a treasured seasonal pastime in Japan that is carefully tracked and timed for friends and family to enjoy blossom viewing at its peak. The cherry blossoms represent the fleeting nature of beauty and how it is worthwhile to stop and admire these natural displays as they will soon fade and flutter to the ground. Traditionally, sake is enjoyed under the trees as well, with especially lucky vibes should a blossom petal float into your sake cup. Timothy tells of his experience in Japan when he enjoyed hanami and also about the day he knew for sure that hanami season was over. Before its too late, let's enjoy hanami together! #SakeRevolutionSupport the show

My name is Al. [00:36.560 –> 00:41.360] My name is Kevin. Hello, my name is Nama. And we are here today to talk about [00:41.360 –> 00:43.720] cottagecore games. [00:43.720 –> 00:45.720] Wooooooh. [00:45.720 –> 00:49.080] Don’s saying so excited Kevin. [00:49.080 –> 00:53.160] I didn’t I didn’t match it. I did not match it this time. [00:53.160 –> 00:57.000] Kevin, you can you can do whatever you want. You normally do. [00:57.000 –> 01:03.640] Well, you’re right. You’re right about that. So welcome to first time guest Nama. [01:03.640 –> 01:12.120] Hello. Yeah, it’s me. People probably know who I am, but if not, I’m a I’m I’m Nama the [01:12.120 –> 01:15.000] nerd from small-time bazurri. [01:15.000 –> 01:21.400] Yeah, cool. So we’re going to I didn’t really rehearse in my head what I was going to see here, [01:21.400 –> 01:26.200] but we’re basically we’re going to talk about in this episode we’re going to talk about [01:26.200 –> 01:33.720] the use of cultures, specifically different cultures from the one that you know developers are [01:33.720 –> 01:38.600] in their video games when it’s appropriate, etc, etc. There’s a lot to talk about there, [01:38.600 –> 01:43.240] but that’s what we’re going to talk about. And I thought that Nama would be a good [01:43.240 –> 01:49.640] person to get on to chat about this because Nama you are what is the correct terminology [01:49.640 –> 01:50.920] that you would use. [01:50.920 –> 01:57.320] Well, I think the term that people use on the internet right now is Native American. I’ve [01:57.320 –> 02:04.680] grown up in a family of Native Americans that call ourselves Indians, but I am a member of the [02:04.680 –> 02:07.480] Comanche tribe if you want to get in particular. [02:07.480 –> 02:11.080] Well, I didn’t know that. Okay. So that’s the tribe. Cool. I do know the Comanche. It’s the [02:11.080 –> 02:15.080] knowing that was your tribe. Very cool. Sure. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn’t say that was getting [02:15.080 –> 02:22.040] particular. I would say that would be like actually saying what you are, right? Like, I’ve [02:22.040 –> 02:27.240] got my ID card in my wallet. We have our own, you know, thing of a mob. So I’m sure we’ll get [02:27.240 –> 02:32.040] into this discussion. But like, yeah, because because quite often we can we can talk about [02:32.040 –> 02:38.600] Native American like it is one, you know, homogenous group. Yeah, one nebulous thing there, [02:38.600 –> 02:44.040] which it has never been. But anyway, I’m sure we’ll get into that discussion later on. [02:44.040 –> 02:48.680] Okay. Okay. Okay. We’ll save it for them. We’ve got plenty to talk about before then. [02:48.680 –> 02:53.960] Before that, we have a bunch of news. Apparently everybody was really was announcing release dates [02:53.960 –> 03:02.120] this week. But before that, now me, what have you been up to? Well, that is, you know, a big question. [03:02.680 –> 03:11.800] I have, I’m a kids librarian. And so I do all kinds of programs and stuff. I read to the [03:11.800 –> 03:17.400] little five year olds, but I also do video game programs with, do with key majors. So right now [03:17.400 –> 03:23.320] at work, all of, it’s all been about getting summer reading programs, ready to go. Some people are like, [03:23.320 –> 03:30.280] what summer? It’s February. But they, they are doing the middle of March. We got a book that [03:30.280 –> 03:35.800] performers. We got to decide what we’re doing. So that has been occupying a lot of my brain space. [03:35.800 –> 03:42.200] But in terms of like my gaming to do this every day around Pokemon day, which is very close at [03:42.200 –> 03:49.240] the time of recording, I, like, since the 25th anniversary, I’ve been going back to an old game [03:49.240 –> 03:55.960] and doing like kind of the post game content that I never was able to do. So for the 25th anniversary, [03:55.960 –> 04:03.480] I got to credits in stadium one. And then last year, I got to credits in stadium two. And so this [04:03.480 –> 04:10.360] year, I’m preparing to do the battle frontier in Emerald, which I’ve never done before. So that means [04:10.360 –> 04:16.440] like breeding a team and EV training and all in generation three of Pokemon. And it is, uh, [04:16.440 –> 04:23.160] I’m not looking forward to it necessarily. But I’m very excited to do it. But it’s like, [04:23.160 –> 04:27.960] it’s like bucket list for me. So I’m not going to judge you is all I’m going to say. [04:27.960 –> 04:35.640] I don’t know. I’m not judging you, but for that, that hurts just to hear good luck. [04:36.280 –> 04:38.200] We’ll see where I am six months for now. [04:38.920 –> 04:44.280] Yeah. Cool Kevin. What have you been up to? I have been up to all the same. My life is just [04:44.280 –> 04:54.840] dominated by battle passes and so on. I play unite. I play snap. I play snap, which has hurt me [04:54.840 –> 05:01.240] by the way, they’ve got a lot of good variants and dropped a little money. Um, I, uh, that said, [05:01.240 –> 05:07.080] though, this week, my brother Calvin introduced me to a new mobile game. I’ve become more and more [05:07.080 –> 05:14.520] of a mobile gamer to much to my own dismay. Um, it is called the battle cats. Um, have either of [05:14.520 –> 05:20.840] you heard of this. I have never never heard of this battle cats are the battle cats with an S [05:20.840 –> 05:28.280] plural. Oh, my word. This looks so cute. You’re looking enough. Right. Okay. So it is called, [05:28.280 –> 05:33.000] it is made by a company called Pono’s, which I’m not, I’ve not been familiar with, but apparently [05:33.000 –> 05:40.280] they have a wide assortment of titles using these cats. There’s like the burglar cats, I think, [05:40.280 –> 05:44.760] they even had one for the 3DS, like a match three puzzle game using these cats. They have a [05:44.760 –> 05:50.360] handful of games. So, um, they’re pretty prolific and harder than, but anyways, so the battle cats [05:50.360 –> 05:56.040] is a, essentially tower defense, but like you’re trying to take down their tower, they’re trying [05:56.040 –> 06:01.800] to take down yours. It’s just 2D left, right, whatever. Um, you’re just generating units. Um, [06:01.800 –> 06:07.160] I just don’t matter, right or whatever. Um, and I love tower defense games. So like natural [06:07.160 –> 06:15.240] as inclined, but the real seller is, as you said, Al, the art style, which is, uh, my card to, I don’t [06:15.240 –> 06:19.880] mean, if you guys have played under, or anyone’s familiar with Undertale, as a character called [06:19.880 –> 06:25.000] the annoying dog, and it looks a lot like that. Um, so it’s just like black and white cats, and [06:25.640 –> 06:34.200] the cats are very cartoony and goofy. You have UFO cats, dragon cats, gross cats, which has just like [06:34.200 –> 06:41.160] giant, enormously long legs. You have Thor cat. Um, and it’s a gotcha game. So you pull for cats, [06:41.160 –> 06:47.400] and then they become your units for your team and your little missions. It’s fun. It’s a [06:47.400 –> 06:53.560] detective. It has an energy system. So it actually manages to keep my addiction in check, but um, [06:54.280 –> 06:59.160] but yeah, it’s, it’s really fun. Um, and I, especially to notice because they had a cross [06:59.160 –> 07:06.600] over street fighter actually, um, what? Yeah, not only do they have cats model after some of the [07:06.600 –> 07:12.440] villains. Um, if people know what em bison looks like, he has like a cape and an evil dictator hat. [07:12.440 –> 07:18.920] So they gave, uh, a cat, an, an em bison outfit. Um, but you could also just get the characters [07:18.920 –> 07:24.760] themselves. My brother pulled like Ryu and em bison. So as these goofy cartoony cats, and then [07:24.760 –> 07:30.920] he’ll summon like Ryu was doing the dokens. Um, the game is chaotic and goofy and hilarious and [07:30.920 –> 07:36.120] a lot of fun. Um, so it is taken over my week largely. It’s actually cut into my snap time, [07:36.120 –> 07:43.560] which is crazy. Um, but yeah, aside from that, uh, just the usual, um, what about you out? What [07:43.560 –> 07:49.720] have you been up to? Well, I have finished my Pokemon Scarlet Professor Oak Challenge. [07:51.560 –> 08:00.360] I’m done for you. Um, congratulations. It was kind of ridiculous. So it took me, so my final, [08:00.360 –> 08:08.280] so I got 60 hours to get to the first gym. So I was catching 355, 1, 60 hours. And I think, [08:08.280 –> 08:12.760] let me just double check. I think it was like 72 or something to the rest for the rest of the game. [08:12.760 –> 08:19.240] So like another 12 hours. Um, that’s pretty good. Yeah. It’s quite insane. Realistically, [08:19.240 –> 08:22.840] the only thing that actually took me a time while the two things that took the, [08:22.840 –> 08:32.360] took most of that time up was, uh, the cutscenes. So so many cutscenes in the gyms, um, like that, [08:32.360 –> 08:38.120] just that took about half of the total time, I think life was just the, the talking, [08:38.120 –> 08:43.880] which I have, uh, what’s it called? Um, the split pad. So I just stuck on the turbo button for that, [08:43.880 –> 08:49.400] get through all that nonsense. Um, and the other thing that took a surprising amount of time was [08:49.400 –> 08:57.240] there, after you, after you finish, after you hit his credits, you can unlock the five star [08:57.240 –> 09:02.040] raids. And when you’ve got the five star raids on locks, there are three Pokemon that you can [09:02.040 –> 09:10.840] only get at that point. And that’s Caesar, Finneon, not a Finneon, uh, what’s it called? Finneon, [09:10.840 –> 09:16.840] Finnezin, no, the other one, Palafin. Yeah, Finnezin, you can get for Palafin. Um, and [09:16.840 –> 09:24.440] smoking. And that took me a surprising amount. I took me a bit three days to get those three [09:24.440 –> 09:29.320] Pokemon in raids, because obviously you’re having to go around all of your raids and check if they’re [09:29.320 –> 09:34.520] there, then you actually have to defeat the raid and blah blah blah. So like that took a lot of [09:34.520 –> 09:39.240] time, but I was like, I could just skip this bit, but then like, I’ve not actually fully completed [09:39.240 –> 09:45.640] it. So I may as well just like do this last bit. Oh, that was quite a lot of work. And then I went [09:45.640 –> 09:51.000] back to Violet and called the exclusives and sent them over and have their shiny charm. So I’m [09:51.000 –> 09:58.040] done with that. And wow. So I’m now going to put myself down to significant less significantly [09:58.040 –> 10:03.640] less. I’m in a time playing in that game. Maybe one day a week, get a shiny or, or, uh, um, [10:03.640 –> 10:09.080] a raid event, if there’s a raid event on that week. You say that, but Pokemon day is Monday [10:09.080 –> 10:15.160] and then you’ll be right back in. I mean, I thought I don’t think even the most optimistic [10:15.160 –> 10:21.080] person assumes that the DLC will be an announced and released on month. I mean, like that would be [10:21.080 –> 10:25.800] quite, it doesn’t have to be the DLC could be just something else small up that you know, [10:25.800 –> 10:29.080] it’s not going to, whatever it is, it’s not going to be more than a couple hours work, right? [10:31.480 –> 10:36.680] So there’s that. And then I picked up Mario Rabbid’s spark of hope. So that’s the second one. [10:37.240 –> 10:40.840] And I was like, let’s get this game done. Um, because I played a wee bit of a [10:40.840 –> 10:45.400] lot when it came out. And then I got distracted by a bunch of other things because I think it came [10:45.400 –> 10:52.440] out a few weeks before Pokemon did. And, um, this game really frustrates me because the battles [10:52.440 –> 10:56.040] are so much fun. And I think the battles in this game are better than the previous one. [10:56.600 –> 11:01.240] I wasn’t hugely excited about the lack of the grid system in this one, but I think it actually [11:01.240 –> 11:05.480] works really well. I think it’s a really fun. It gives you more different possibilities, [11:05.480 –> 11:13.800] more ways to do things, which is good fun. But then they padded out the game with all this ridiculous [11:13.800 –> 11:21.640] like exploration nonsense between the battles that just is not fun. There’s like random pointless [11:21.640 –> 11:26.840] puzzles that you have to like figure out where you’re going to get. It’s like the first game, [11:26.840 –> 11:32.760] I found that a bit annoying, but it was mostly just like one of these maps that like the 2D [11:32.760 –> 11:37.640] Mario games have, like world or whatever, where you would just like kind of walk along the map. [11:37.640 –> 11:41.160] And it was like, this is kind of pointless, but whatever. It’s nice and quick. You’re just basically [11:41.160 –> 11:45.240] walking through catching some coins and then going to the next battle. But this one, this [11:45.240 –> 11:50.200] full on like exploration things and you have to go through these caves and figure out how to get [11:50.200 –> 11:53.160] out of the cave and you have to figure out how to get to the top of a lighthouse and you have to, [11:53.160 –> 12:00.280] and it’s just that I do not care. I didn’t buy this game to be a platformer or an exploration. [12:00.280 –> 12:03.880] This is not what I’m looking for in this game and everything that does outside of the battles [12:03.880 –> 12:10.680] is not fun. It’s badly done and therefore I have stopped. I’m not finishing that game [12:10.680 –> 12:16.600] because I’m not enjoying myself outside of the battles. It’s so weird because the first game was so [12:16.600 –> 12:21.800] well done. Like, yeah. I’m surprised they bungled them up like that. I haven’t heard much or played [12:22.600 –> 12:27.400] that. I think it might depend on who you are and maybe some people enjoy that. I don’t know. [12:27.400 –> 12:31.560] There must be a reason that they’ve added so much more between the battles. But like, [12:31.560 –> 12:35.160] personally, I would, I would have preferred if they take in the first one, put on the battle [12:35.160 –> 12:39.240] system for the second one and then removed all those bit between the battles. It’s just give me a [12:39.240 –> 12:44.760] list. Just let me play the battles. I don’t, no, I’m not buying this game to explore. I’m playing it [12:44.760 –> 12:51.160] to play these battles. That is not just you. That is like the game. That’s what they’re selling you. [12:51.160 –> 12:56.120] And yeah, it’s weird that they fill it up with so much more. Absolutely bizarre. [12:56.120 –> 13:02.120] Yeah. So I played for another maybe like three hours or something. So I’ve put in almost 10 hours [13:02.120 –> 13:07.720] in that game. And I think that’s enough to say that I do not. The battles are good, but they’re not [13:07.720 –> 13:13.480] good enough to make me want to power through the absolute dreadfulness that is everything else. [13:14.440 –> 13:19.720] So I’ll put that back down again and I’m selling the game. The other thing, the other thing that [13:19.720 –> 13:24.360] I’ve been then picked up, I only picked that up today. So I’ve not done a huge amount of it. But [13:24.360 –> 13:29.480] I’m enjoying it so far is Hyrule Warriors or what’s this one called? The Calamity. [13:31.000 –> 13:37.400] Go back to the wild one. Oh, it’s an original one. No, no, no, no, no, no, I like to play the [13:37.400 –> 13:41.480] newest game of something. And then it means that I never enjoy playing the older ones because they’re [13:41.480 –> 13:48.840] not as good. Oh, that might not be the case here. We’ll see. We’ll see. I’m enjoying it. Obviously, [13:48.840 –> 13:56.840] the battle system is not the same as in Breath of the Wild. But it almost feels like they’re trying [13:56.840 –> 14:06.120] to make it very similar. So like you have all of the extra abilities, like your magnesiums and your [14:06.120 –> 14:11.160] ice thing or whatever they’re called, but they work differently. And obviously you’re doing it in [14:11.160 –> 14:18.280] like high-paced combat rather than using it to solve puzzles. And so it’s fun, but it’s also a little [14:18.280 –> 14:22.280] bit weird. And I think it might confuse me going into Tears of the Kingdom because it just, [14:22.680 –> 14:29.160] it’s, it’s that weird kind of combination of kind of similar, but also kind of different in that way. [14:29.160 –> 14:37.880] It looks, it looks so much like Breath of the Wilds down to the, down to the menu UI and the sound [14:37.880 –> 14:44.360] effects and the music. They did a great job making it seem like a seamless step into this game from [14:44.360 –> 14:49.480] Breath of the Wild. So yeah, I hope that you don’t go if you’re weird blash with Tears of the [14:49.480 –> 14:54.840] Kingdom because, yeah, I mean, perhaps to them for it. Yeah, I don’t think so. I think I’ll go into [14:54.840 –> 14:58.840] Tears of the Kingdom and be like, no, this is, this is the combat I prefer because I do, [14:59.560 –> 15:05.960] I’m not enjoying it as much as I enjoy Breath of the Wild. Partly because I think this game [15:07.000 –> 15:10.040] wants to just throw you into battles and it does that straight away. It’s like, hey, [15:10.040 –> 15:15.560] he has a battle goal and I like that, but then it also then puts in some of the exploration side [15:15.560 –> 15:20.760] of things that Breath of the Wild had, but not fully featured obviously. It’s like not an open world [15:20.760 –> 15:26.680] game like that. So it just kind of feels like those are kind of tacked on, but unlike Mario [15:26.680 –> 15:32.520] and Rabbid Spark of Hope, those are really short, right? So you’re like, oh, you need to get to this next [15:32.520 –> 15:38.600] bit. Okay, run to it. That’s fine. But as soon as you finished all of the battles within that chapter, [15:38.600 –> 15:42.360] you then back to a menu and you can select the next chapter and you’re immediately there. [15:43.720 –> 15:48.600] That’s the bit that Mario Rabbids didn’t do, which you should have done, minimize the [15:48.600 –> 15:55.160] extra bits between what we’re actually there for, right? So yeah, I’m enjoying that so far. [15:55.160 –> 15:59.640] Good. I like the person who is better. I’ve nearly finished the first chapter. It’s a real [15:59.640 –> 16:05.160] loop. So yeah, well, we’ll see. I mean, yeah, the age of climate is fine, but just the original [16:05.160 –> 16:10.600] high rewards. There’s a real love letter to the Zelda series, which is really fun. Interesting. [16:10.600 –> 16:15.880] But I’m glad you’re enjoying it. So yeah, I think that’s me. Not played any snap, played a little [16:15.880 –> 16:21.080] bit ago. That’s about it. That’s about it. I mentioned three big games there. Shall we talk about [16:21.080 –> 16:30.120] some news? Should we? Let’s do it. So research story is now out in early access. That’s not news. [16:30.120 –> 16:35.720] We already knew that was coming, but they have also released their early access roadmap. So they’ve [16:35.720 –> 16:42.840] listed one, two, three, four, five big updates coming over the time. It’s obviously a roadmap [16:43.800 –> 16:51.720] without any dates because of course that’s a sensible thing to do. Yeah. I like at least an estimate [16:51.720 –> 16:58.600] on my roadmap, personally. Like, I mean, I’m not like trying to hold them to anything or be [16:58.600 –> 17:04.040] disappointed. I’m saying this just in general, not specifically about this game, but yeah, I don’t know. [17:04.040 –> 17:09.080] I just like to have some ballpark of idea of what they estimate because just the list of things [17:09.080 –> 17:14.760] they want to do. Yeah, I don’t know. That could take a while. I mean, I will say that they have said [17:14.760 –> 17:21.880] that they expect their early access to take about six months to a year. So presumably at this point [17:21.880 –> 17:26.040] in time, they’re expecting all of those five updates to be finished within a year’s time. [17:26.040 –> 17:30.840] It’s not going to happen, but that’s what they’re expecting at this point. It feels like [17:31.640 –> 17:37.800] in our little corner of the video games world in the cottage court, it feels like this happens a lot. [17:38.520 –> 17:43.320] It does. And I think I think that everyone just tries to add too much into their games. [17:44.360 –> 17:49.880] Like, I mean, just looking at again, I haven’t touched research story or don’t have anything [17:49.880 –> 17:56.360] against them, but they have the romance stuff. Is that, oh, do we always need the romance? I don’t know. [17:56.360 –> 18:02.200] But anyway, so that’s that’s just me. Research story specifically as a game does feel like it [18:02.200 –> 18:06.760] doesn’t need romance, right? Like it’s a game where you’re the researcher and the focus is on [18:06.760 –> 18:10.920] the researching things. Not to say the researchers can’t have relationships. I’m not saying you [18:10.920 –> 18:18.120] can’t have a relationship, Cody. Like it does feel like the focus is on like when you’re doing [18:18.120 –> 18:22.920] something like Stardew or Harvest Moon or a story of seasons, like the focus is on this, [18:22.920 –> 18:27.240] you’re just, you’re just living a life, right? There’s no like specific thing. And then other [18:27.240 –> 18:31.880] ones are like, we’re focusing on like, if you imagine if like farming simulator that actually had [18:31.880 –> 18:36.680] romance in it, that would be weird because the focus was on running a big commercial farm. [18:36.680 –> 18:39.720] So yeah, I agree with you. This feels a bit weird to have that. [18:39.720 –> 18:46.440] Yeah. Um, but I mean, yeah, but I mean, good luck to research story regardless. [18:46.440 –> 18:51.800] Yeah, but discord can join it if you want to help with their growth and whatnot. It is nice [18:51.800 –> 18:56.680] to see them interacting with the community like that. Yeah, that’s nice. Yeah. Yeah. I will say [18:56.680 –> 19:00.520] just because we were talking about like dates and stuff like that, just to give you an idea, [19:00.520 –> 19:05.880] Sunhaven, which we were about to talk about, they came into early access in June 2021, [19:05.880 –> 19:12.360] and they said that their early access would be six months long. So, um, um, uh, [19:12.360 –> 19:18.600] look, six months, two years, close enough. We sometimes you just got to put asterisks over your [19:18.600 –> 19:23.160] dates. That’s where you don’t give a date. This is my opinion. Like, having one states, I say, [19:23.160 –> 19:29.400] don’t give a date. Just do what you do. Give a, give a date and hold your, not again, not a specific [19:29.400 –> 19:34.280] date, but like, if you realize it’s getting too big, then cut down. That’s, that’s my opinion. [19:34.280 –> 19:38.040] Look, we live. This is the genre with religion, didn’t it? Okay. Like, [19:38.040 –> 19:46.200] uh, I live released now, right? They’re no, they’re no, um, have you played it yourself? Is it true? [19:46.200 –> 19:52.200] Is it true? Is it true that it’s out? Yes. Is it not all just, it’s true that you can download [19:52.200 –> 19:59.160] to the game. I haven’t actually tried to play it for all. We know it’s no Moneko. Moneko has been longer. [19:59.160 –> 20:05.160] Has Moneko been longer? Oh, yeah. They were only two, they were only when we on the first episode, [20:05.160 –> 20:09.080] they were only two games that we announced that hadn’t been released last year. One of them [20:09.800 –> 20:13.560] was re-legined and one of them is Moneko. Moneko hasn’t come out yet. [20:13.560 –> 20:18.360] When was Moneko’s first announcement? 2018. Okay. Never mind taking hold of Moneko, [20:18.360 –> 20:22.600] but Moneko will be worth it though. Oh, sure. Oh, absolutely. Moneko’s going to be a [20:22.600 –> 20:27.640] graduate game in the re-legend. I don’t think anybody would be arguing about it. Yeah. Okay. [20:27.640 –> 20:32.840] Anyways, all right. Let’s talk about the other game with. Yeah. So some hate in questionable [20:32.840 –> 20:40.840] date. So they have announced their 1.0 release date. So there’s 0.8 update. I don’t know why [20:40.840 –> 20:48.520] they’re doing weather. Right. Their next free 1.0 release is out and that adds, oh, look, it adds [20:48.520 –> 20:59.400] romance. And the, so that’s out now. And the 1.0 release date is currently scheduled to release [20:59.400 –> 21:06.200] on the 10th of March, which is only like two weeks away. That’s that bet. No. I see this [21:06.200 –> 21:11.320] bad deal. Between the two really. Yeah. I will say, looking at this art style for this game, [21:11.320 –> 21:16.760] how could it not have a romance? Similarly. This seems like it’s designed for it. [21:16.760 –> 21:22.200] Yeah. I mean, it’s knocking off Stardew. Yeah. It’s, it’s Stardew, but with magic, right? That’s [21:22.200 –> 21:28.920] what it’s like. Yeah. It’s like a higher fantasy. Yeah. I would say, I think this has better [21:28.920 –> 21:36.040] pixel art quality than Stardew. It’s quite nice. But oh, for sure. So I would say, it depends [21:36.040 –> 21:42.760] what you mean. It has higher resolution on everything, right? Like it’s less pixel. I would say [21:42.760 –> 21:51.800] it’s more complex. Yeah. I mean, like, like I recognize like every day, every, I judge pixel art by [21:52.520 –> 21:57.800] what they do in their limitations, right? Because there’s like, you look back at older, [21:57.800 –> 22:01.800] NES games or whatever. They have fantastic pixel or like some of those final fantasy games or whatever. [22:01.800 –> 22:07.480] Anyways, I just look at like the octopus that you see on the same page. I have like this giant [22:07.480 –> 22:11.560] octopus or like stuff inside it. That is great design right there. I don’t think Stardew has [22:11.560 –> 22:16.680] anything as nicely designed as that. Interesting. But regardless, that is, that’s just a completely [22:16.680 –> 22:21.720] subjective opinion here. I certainly don’t. I certainly, I certainly look at this game and think [22:21.720 –> 22:26.680] it looks nice, right? It’s not like one of these art styles where you’re like, oh, they just, [22:26.680 –> 22:30.200] they just wanted, they wanted to make a game and they didn’t really know how to make it look good. [22:30.200 –> 22:38.280] Like it does look good. Absolutely. But I just, I think that I, it is obviously higher resolution [22:38.280 –> 22:42.280] and in some, you could definitely argue it looks better than Stardew. But I still think [22:42.280 –> 22:48.280] the Stardew looks really nice. It’s just, no, yeah, it’s, it’s not bad. I mean, clearly, yeah, [22:48.280 –> 22:54.840] okay. I mean, yeah, you can write a line in this one, right? Oh, well, there you go. [22:54.840 –> 22:59.480] There’s a crab house. The house with a big grab on it started doesn’t have one of those. [22:59.480 –> 23:05.640] That’s very true. But you can, you can, you turn your kids into delves in this game. [23:05.640 –> 23:15.640] Oh, ouch. Oh, see, you know what? I’d rather games copy that than the romance. [23:17.720 –> 23:21.960] But I guess you need the romance have kids first. Well, no, yeah, just do it to random [23:21.960 –> 23:28.280] people. I don’t like you in the game. I’m going to turn you into delves. The other thing is, [23:28.280 –> 23:34.360] obviously, they’ve still got their Nintendo Switch release to come. Um, that is coming soon. [23:34.360 –> 23:38.120] They haven’t really, it’s a bit cryptic what they’ve said. They’re, they’re like, [23:38.120 –> 23:42.120] we’re waiting on Nintendo. But my question with that is like, are you waiting on Nintendo [23:42.120 –> 23:47.480] because you’ve, you’re applied for it to go in? And therefore, it’s already, and you just [23:47.480 –> 23:52.600] need Nintendo to approve it, or are they waiting on something else from Nintendo? Like, they [23:52.600 –> 23:59.880] don’t actively say we have, we have put in approval for this to go in the store, right? So I’m [23:59.880 –> 24:06.920] a bit more exactly other saying here. I’m not sure. I mean, yeah, but again, another cornerstone [24:06.920 –> 24:14.280] of our genre, uh, the Switch tax always longer releases, the laid releases on that. Um, yeah. [24:14.280 –> 24:18.680] Well, at least now, I have a steam deck so I can stop waiting for the Switch release. [24:21.160 –> 24:26.840] You’re not wrong. Next, we have another release date, because as I said, this is the release [24:26.840 –> 24:32.760] date episode. The next one is we have a release date for Terra Nil. So this is the game where [24:32.760 –> 24:40.520] you’re turning wasteland into a luscious, uh, Greenland, and then leaving it untouched by humans. [24:40.520 –> 24:49.000] Um, this one is releasing on the 28th of March busy month. This game, I, you know, I believe it was [24:49.000 –> 24:54.360] Cody was on the first time. This was discussion. She’s so hyped about it. Um, I don’t know. Her excitement [24:54.360 –> 25:03.080] has made me more excited about this game. Um, it’s, I saw it. Terraforming is a cool concept. Um, [25:03.080 –> 25:10.040] um, and just looking at that turning, uh, empty plot of dirt into a vibrant forest or [25:10.920 –> 25:15.480] ocean river from whatever. That’s pretty cool. Um, I’ll be excited. I will probably give [25:15.480 –> 25:23.160] in this to world. I mean, to PC and Netflix. So there’s the interesting thing. I don’t think we had [25:23.160 –> 25:28.520] any idea that it was coming to presumably mobile devices. If they don’t actually give the details, [25:28.520 –> 25:32.600] but as far as I know Netflix are only doing games on mobile devices, I don’t think we had [25:32.600 –> 25:37.560] any indication that this was coming to mobile. And yeah, I suddenly like, oh, hey, we’re coming [25:37.560 –> 25:45.960] out on the 28th. Also on Netflix. I mean, like, oh, okay. Thank you for that. Right. Fine. I guess [25:45.960 –> 25:52.920] that’s a thing. Um, yeah. I mean, Netflix are doing well with choosing games for their service. I think [25:52.920 –> 25:57.480] I guess I don’t have Netflix at all. I don’t know. [25:57.480 –> 26:05.720] Oh, yeah. So I know that they, they have had, um, some good ones. Uh, they had, I believe, [26:05.720 –> 26:13.480] spirit fader. Um, all that is a good one. Good for them. So well, it was also fair in this. [26:13.480 –> 26:21.080] Yeah. Oh, they had, um, the Ninja Turtles game. Yep. That’s like, oh, wow. Okay. Now that somebody [26:21.080 –> 26:25.800] there knows what they’re doing. Um, they do. They really do. There was something else as well that [26:25.800 –> 26:32.120] was like, uh, like a traditional game that people really liked and I can’t remember what it was. [26:32.920 –> 26:37.080] Oh, wow. They have a lot of games. I’m just looking into the into the breach. That’s the [26:37.080 –> 26:43.080] other one. It’s like, yeah, into the breach. That was, that’s a dope game. Um, obviously they have [26:43.080 –> 26:48.600] some that are based on, um, stranger things, stranger things, which apparently the stranger [26:48.600 –> 26:53.160] things game is very good. Oh, um, they’ve got an exploding kit. They got exploding kittens on it. [26:53.160 –> 26:59.160] Oh, there you go. But I’m, I’m just, it’s quite a lot of games. Quite a lot of games. [26:59.160 –> 27:03.320] Some of them look like the fake mobile have games that you see. They do something in their [27:03.320 –> 27:07.880] religious games. Maybe it’s just something about the icon square. I think they launched it with [27:07.880 –> 27:12.760] all those games, all those really like, oh, we have like 20 games and you’re like, yeah, they’re [27:12.760 –> 27:19.160] all terrible. And then they finally got some money to actually buy some good games. [27:19.160 –> 27:26.040] Oh, a spearfarer that icon makes me so happy. Still just being happy. Now may have you played [27:26.040 –> 27:33.400] Spinnerfader yet. Um, I gotta be honest. No. Nope. Thank you for coming on the podcast. [27:33.400 –> 27:39.560] Yeah. See you around because the pleasure having you. So I am curious, like this, uh, [27:39.560 –> 27:45.160] the Netflix games are those like, do you download them? Yeah. So they are, they’re just, [27:45.160 –> 27:48.360] they’re just standard mobile games. But you have, when you download the game, you then have to [27:48.360 –> 27:54.120] log into Netflix to prove you have a subscription. Okay. But yeah, it just is like a standard game [27:54.120 –> 27:59.160] that you download is not cloud gaming or anything like that. That’s, that’s an, it’s a neat idea. [27:59.160 –> 28:05.000] Um, but anyways, uh, one, one thing I do want to say more about Tarnell, um, they’re donating [28:05.000 –> 28:10.520] a portion of their profits from steam, not, not for expanding to the endangered wildlife trust. [28:10.520 –> 28:14.440] So good for them putting their money where their mouth is very, very cool. Yeah. [28:14.440 –> 28:18.440] Neat. I suspect the Netflix money helped with that, right? Cause they need a problem with [28:18.440 –> 28:24.520] money. You can pay. Yeah. Yeah. I probably, so thank you Netflix, I guess. [28:25.880 –> 28:32.440] In a weird way. But yeah, so that’s good. And we got our Spinnerfader reference in for the slack. [28:32.440 –> 28:40.040] They love when there you go. Uh, next we have, I really hope I can remember how to say, I think [28:40.040 –> 28:45.240] it’s Chia. That’s what I’d assume. That’s what I would guess. Um, this is the game that’s based [28:45.240 –> 28:50.920] in New Caledonia. Uh, we have a release date for this game as well. This is coming out on the 21st [28:50.920 –> 28:57.720] of March. I should have done these in, in data audition nine. Oh, wow. Um, this is releasing on [28:57.720 –> 29:04.680] Epic games and on PlayStation, both PS4 and PS5 and it’s going to be included in the PlayStation [29:04.680 –> 29:08.760] Plus extra. So if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus extra, you get the game for free. [29:08.760 –> 29:16.520] So, um, first of all, for people who might not be aware of New Caledonia is a real place. Um, [29:16.520 –> 29:22.360] still don’t know that was a real place. Uh, just to be sure, I don’t know, like it’s at least [29:22.360 –> 29:26.520] you in the US, New Caledonia is in a place you here, come too often, come up too often. [29:26.520 –> 29:31.160] Um, well, sure. Sure. It’s not like something that comes up in everyday conversation. Yeah. [29:32.120 –> 29:35.960] But it’s like when I, when I, when I first saw this game and it’s always based on New Caledonia, [29:35.960 –> 29:41.720] oh, you look awesome. I had to look it out. I saw it and it said, that sounds like a country [29:41.720 –> 29:48.280] and they looked it up and it’s like, oh, yeah, that is a country. Um, I didn’t know. Okay. Um, so [29:49.320 –> 29:56.440] I’m looking at this trailer. I don’t know if any of this is gameplay. Um, so I don’t like that. [29:58.360 –> 30:04.760] Yes, but again, if it’s a, you know, pre rendered cutscene type footage, yeah, would look good. [30:04.760 –> 30:11.080] And so yeah, that’s, that’s why I’m bringing it out because that’s always a big, big asterisk for any [30:11.080 –> 30:16.440] trailer in my opinion. Listen, Bailey. Um, I like to see actual gameplay. I don’t know if we’re [30:16.440 –> 30:22.680] actually seeing any here. Um, but the concept is cool. They are really going for, you know, uh, [30:22.680 –> 30:28.200] well, hey, culture, right? Where it’s specific culture out there. Um, we’ve got non white folks [30:28.200 –> 30:33.080] as the lead and most of the Kevin, Kevin, yes, he Kevin, this is in my list. He’s in my list [30:33.080 –> 30:38.120] for discussion in the meantime. Yeah. Okay. Okay. You know what I’m just saying. Okay. Um, [30:38.840 –> 30:42.440] on. Okay. But anyways, I don’t even know what the game’s supposed to be playing like to be on. [30:42.440 –> 30:47.320] It is. Yeah. I think it’s an, it’s more of a kind of like exploration game, but you’re not. There’s [30:47.320 –> 30:53.480] no like combat or anything. You’re, um, I guess it kind of is more actually that did you ever play [30:54.200 –> 31:00.280] what’s it called? Oh, my word. Why am I so bad with names? Sometimes the Alba, Alba, I keep getting [31:00.280 –> 31:05.080] that one messed up because there’s a Scott’s word, which is spelled the same as the Spanish name, [31:05.080 –> 31:10.680] but it said differently, right? Alba, the wildlife. Oh, no, I didn’t. Yeah, that’s probably a good [31:10.680 –> 31:16.920] comparison. But without the, like, obviously you’re not taking pictures. You are instead going [31:16.920 –> 31:21.960] around. And I think the idea is that you’re meant to be hearing for animals. Uh, okay. There’s, [31:21.960 –> 31:26.760] so looking at the YouTube trailer, there’s a blurb here face off against your foes and opening [31:26.760 –> 31:32.360] counters where your creativity is the key of victory, transform into any of the over 30 animals or [31:32.360 –> 31:37.640] hundreds of objects at your disposal, uh, uncover your secrets and make new friends as your jam on [31:37.640 –> 31:43.960] your fully playable ukulele in this tropical adventure. That sounds cool. I don’t see that in this trailer [31:43.960 –> 31:50.200] area. At least in terms of the gameplay, like I see where they’re hinting at animals and transforming, [31:50.200 –> 31:55.240] but I don’t know how that’s utilizing the game, but uh, yeah, I think it’s, I think it’s meant to be [31:55.240 –> 32:00.200] like a puzzle thing. So you might need to, to use certain animals to get certain places and stuff like [32:00.200 –> 32:06.760] that. It says foes. It says foes. That’s, that’s, it does interesting. Yeah. I don’t know. Maybe [32:06.760 –> 32:12.840] there is combat then that I didn’t realize. March. I see the ukulele in the very last shot of this [32:12.840 –> 32:18.040] trailer. The ukulele is prom. Yeah. There is a rhythm game, I believe with that. I mean, [32:18.040 –> 32:26.680] regardless, we’re going to find out soon because, uh, that’s just a few. Yes. Man, March 21st, [32:26.680 –> 32:34.600] 2023. Very cool. Epic game store PS4 and PS5. Um, and yeah, this, this game will 100% come up [32:34.600 –> 32:41.960] in our main conversation about culture and video games. And it’s perfect timing. Yeah. Okay. [32:41.960 –> 32:48.360] But, uh, next we have, uh, technically a release date, but a release date for an update. [32:49.000 –> 32:55.400] That’s awesome. Uh, uh, the wondering village. This is where you’re, you have a farming, it’s [32:55.400 –> 33:01.160] basically a farming life sim, but you’re on the back of a big creature. So they have added, [33:01.160 –> 33:07.640] this update is adding gamepad support and therefore steam deck compatibility and a bunch of other [33:07.640 –> 33:11.160] stuff that I’m not really going to talk about because that’s all I really care about. Steam [33:11.160 –> 33:17.400] is going to be over here. Yeah, that’s the big one, right? Yeah. Yeah. This is my first time [33:17.400 –> 33:23.480] looking at the game and it looks very impressive. Like, I really like this shot of the, of the, [33:23.480 –> 33:29.080] the, the big creature walking through. And as I understand it, that’s not like to the typical game [33:29.080 –> 33:36.200] play, but I still like looking at it. Yeah, it’s a cool. I haven’t heard or played anything of this [33:36.200 –> 33:43.080] game. I’m just wondering like, does the creature inter like, does that affect your village? [33:43.080 –> 33:49.000] I believe it does affect things. Yeah. So I believe that your creature can get into battles [33:49.000 –> 33:53.640] with other creatures, for example. Oh, yes. Yes. Yeah. That does sound familiar. It’s a very [33:53.640 –> 34:01.160] cool concept. Um, it’s interesting because like the art of the world, like the bigger world where [34:01.160 –> 34:08.280] you see the creatures like detail, painted, lovely art style. And then when you zoom in on the [34:08.280 –> 34:13.160] village, you get like little cartoony people. Um, they’re cute. It’s a fun juxtaposition. I just [34:13.160 –> 34:18.840] think that’s a neat idea to do it. Um, yeah, no, it looks cool. Um, very, yeah, we get game pad. I [34:18.840 –> 34:23.160] feel like, I feel like I don’t play games unless they get, I’d say that I’ve done it before, [34:23.160 –> 34:26.360] but I really would like to play every game with a game pad and then like the keyboard. [34:26.360 –> 34:33.880] Uh, next we have brand new game announcement, farming simulator 23 is releasing this May. [34:34.520 –> 34:42.120] This was very funny to me. It is funny just in general, right? Like, I find it really funny [34:42.120 –> 34:48.680] that they’re still doing this to releases a farming simulator. So the one year they release the [34:48.680 –> 34:54.760] main game that comes out on PC and PlayStation and Xbox. And then the next year they’ll do one that [34:54.760 –> 34:58.600] comes out on mobile and switch. And it’s just really funny that they’re still doing that. [34:58.600 –> 35:02.920] I don’t know why that’s still funny to me, but it is still fun. It’s bizarre. It is bizarre, [35:02.920 –> 35:09.480] but I mean, hey, like, they have a community. I don’t want to, and listen to you. I mean, [35:09.480 –> 35:17.880] they keep keep this game going game. It looks like the best fun simulator game. Um, and we’ll say [35:17.880 –> 35:25.960] that of farming games. It is. Yeah. It really is. Um, so good good for those people. I read through [35:25.960 –> 35:32.680] those updates and additions and they mentioned crops. I don’t even know what is sorghum. That’s [35:32.680 –> 35:39.160] a new crop. Sorghum. Okay. I don’t know what that is. You can grow grapes and olives too. [35:40.120 –> 35:43.880] It’s funny that it is. If I find it funny, they didn’t have grapes up to this point. [35:43.880 –> 35:47.800] Olives sure. They’ve seen quite niche, but it’s funny that they didn’t have grapes. [35:48.680 –> 35:53.400] Yeah. Can I say that for the next game? You know, like the keep on your toes. Yeah. [35:54.440 –> 35:58.440] Yeah. Four is around the bend, but also I interestingly adding an AI helper. [35:59.000 –> 36:05.240] Oh, that’s wonderful. See, it’s an auto generate crops to see. I don’t know. They’ve not said [36:05.240 –> 36:11.640] anything about it. Just it’s a thing. I will say like for as much as almost the meme as it is in [36:11.640 –> 36:18.280] our corner here and on this podcast, like I think farming simulator does its job very well. [36:18.280 –> 36:22.200] I think some of these other gibs probably could take a few notes from them. [36:24.120 –> 36:31.000] Just again, like so many other things are very stardew derivative. It’d be nice to see a little [36:31.000 –> 36:40.520] more emphasis on the actual farming, but that just me. And apparently sorghum is grown as cereals [36:40.520 –> 36:46.920] for human consumption and in some in pastures for animals. Okay. There you go. So exciting. [36:48.440 –> 36:54.040] It’s a nice well-known grain in the world. Yeah. Well, I’m sure their community is hyped over it. [36:54.600 –> 37:00.120] It comes a distant fifth for most produced grades. I’m like fifth. Fifth seems quite high to me. [37:00.120 –> 37:07.880] My body rice wheat and corn. So it’s above oats. It’s more it’s it’s produced more than oats. [37:07.880 –> 37:14.600] What? That’s way. I didn’t know that oats wasn’t in that list. Was it farming simulator? [37:14.600 –> 37:17.960] Does it drop again? Here’s a live on the podcast, educating us. [37:19.160 –> 37:25.240] I need to find out the real estate. Most produced grains. You’ve got to think what’s that [37:25.240 –> 37:30.840] soy must be pretty high, right? I would think so. But yeah, did we say the date for that May [37:30.840 –> 37:37.800] 23? I get that. Corn is the top. Then wheat, then rice, then barley, then sorghum, then oats, [37:37.800 –> 37:43.320] then rye. Oh, I don’t I don’t see a soy not a grain. Is that what it is? It’s a pedantic thing. [37:43.880 –> 37:47.800] I think it is. What is soy? So it is not a grain. It is a bean. [37:47.800 –> 37:55.800] Pulse. Oh my. What? It’s a it’s a little just got fog. Okay. Lagoon. Okay. Yes. I know the [37:55.800 –> 38:05.800] Gooms. Yes. Like a peanut. Yeah. Another bean. Not a not. Right. Moving on from the very niche conversation. [38:06.520 –> 38:11.720] Wait. I think this is more why I think this is more on topic than anything else we could [38:11.720 –> 38:17.240] buzz a little bit. This is why we changed. This is why we changed the cottage core. [38:17.240 –> 38:25.960] No. Final piece of news is there’s a new game that’s just come out called Don groan. [38:27.080 –> 38:30.840] And this I’ll just read the blub for this one. A short adventure about healing people’s [38:30.840 –> 38:37.160] inner worlds from corruption and confront emotions in this refreshingly cute adventure about [38:37.160 –> 38:40.840] cleansing people’s inner worlds of doubt and pain. You are as you’re the frog. [38:40.840 –> 38:47.000] Journey from the foliage floating in the sky to the minds of the afflicted as you cleanse [38:47.000 –> 38:53.640] their rich inner worlds from the dark ooze that corrupts them. Okay. Um, the, um, sorry, [38:53.640 –> 38:58.680] good. No, go ahead. You can give your thoughts. Oh, well, I was just going to say like looking at [38:58.680 –> 39:06.520] all of these trailers from indie developers and I see their subscriber count at like 30, 47, 10. [39:06.520 –> 39:12.040] And I’m like, oh, look at these guys. They’re, they’re really, they’re really working. Yeah. Yeah. [39:12.040 –> 39:18.200] No. I mean, that, that’s pretty common in our neighborhoods too. Um, but I mean, hey, that’s, [39:18.200 –> 39:23.160] that’s part of this with this podcast is we’re right. Uh, okay. So I have three things to say about [39:23.160 –> 39:28.200] this game. One, uh, the pixel art very nice, very stylish. I like it. Mine to be a bull. There’s [39:28.200 –> 39:35.240] all the games. Um, two, that said, the game cannot be as posi. There’s no way could ever be as [39:35.240 –> 39:41.800] possibly cute as the, uh, the like actual, uh, art of the frog, like the little title art with [39:41.800 –> 39:47.240] him. That is it. Oh, yes. I thought the same thing. Like the, like the, the, the cover image. [39:47.240 –> 39:52.680] Yeah. It’s that frog is too cute and, and I feel bad for them that they could never replicate [39:52.680 –> 40:00.040] that with pixels and nothing against them. That’s just the Herculean task. Um, and three, it’s a [40:00.040 –> 40:08.440] novel, an interesting idea. Um, it’s basically power simulator, but like on a 2D plane, um, [40:08.440 –> 40:12.520] or power washing simulator, it gets to any minute. You guys know what I meant? Um, I did. [40:12.520 –> 40:16.360] Yeah. You’re just, right. Well, actually, assumed you had said to the whole sentence. [40:17.560 &nd
