Podcasts about honkai

Ad Astra Travelers and welcome to Tales of Teyvat: A Genshin Lore Podcast. This week our hosts are discussing the number one chef in all of Teyvat, Xiangling! This week we also welcome guest host Vanessa, best known for being our Fischl expert and a Honkai enthusiast (much to Tif's dismay), to discuss this Liyue character. Our hosts start by discussing our initial introductions to Xiangling through character trials and Spiral Abyss freebies, making many travelers swoon over her Pyro-nado. After, our hosts discuss her Mondstadt introduction that includes illegally hunting boar, discovering three-hundred year old boar and the equally as old Olaf, and the great Springvale cooking showdown! Later, we discuss Xiangling's familial love of cooking, her friendships across Liyue, and her involvement in events like Lantern Rite throughout the years. We'll discuss her unlikely friendship with Guoba, Adeptal training, and her desire to get a Michelin star for her family restaurant. Will Xiangling make the Bear Proud? Will Xiangling find the best ingredients across Teyvat?

(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

Jonnie and Kev talk about the Dave the Diver Dredge DLC Timings 00:00:00: Theme Tune 00:00:30: Intro 00:01:53: What Have We Been Up To 00:16:41: Dave The Diver 00:23:02: Dredge DLC 00:44:17: Outro Links Dave the Diver Dredge DLC Contact Al on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheScotBot Al on Mastodon: https://mastodon.scot/@TheScotBot Email Us: https://harvestseason.club/contact/ Transcript (0:00:30) Jonnie: Hello Divers and welcome to another episode of The Harvest Season. My name is Jonny. (0:00:35) Kev: And my name is Kevin. (0:00:37) Jonnie: And we’re here today to talk about… Cottagecore games! (0:00:40) Kev: Are– no, or– well, is Dave Cottagecore? (0:00:43) Kev: I don’t know. (0:00:45) Kev: Maybe? (0:00:45) Jonnie: I’m pretty sure it’s Cottagecore. Like, it’s very… It’s very Cottagecore. (0:00:49) Kev: Yeah. (0:00:50) Kev: It’s Vibes, right? (0:00:51) Jonnie: Yeah, I think… Yeah, yeah. (0:00:53) Jonnie: I think this is gonna end up being episode 3 in Dave the Diver month, because, you know, I caused a bit of chaos for Al and… (0:01:00) Jonnie: We shuffled the episodes! (0:01:04) Jonnie: As always, transcripts are available… Transcripts are available in the show notes and on the website. (0:01:08) Jonnie: But today, the topic that we’re going to be talking about is the Dredge DLC. (0:01:14) Jonnie: Kiv, we’re a year on for when we first covered Dredge as a part of fishing month, which was this time last year. (0:01:17) Kev: Jeez, I guess it has been a year. (0:01:23) Jonnie: Dredge, definitely not Cottagecore. Dave the Diver, more Cottagecore than Dredge. (0:01:27) Jonnie: That’s what I’m going to say, even with the Dredge elements thrown in. (0:01:28) Kev: Yep, you know what, there is farming in Dave, so close enough. (0:01:30) Jonnie: So, as always, no news for this episode. There will be a bit of a catch-up in a couple of weeks (0:01:45) Jonnie: when we’re all back to recording at… Just a little bit ahead of when the episodes are released, (0:01:51) Jonnie: instead of a lot ahead of when the episodes are released. But what have we been up to? (0:01:55) Jonnie: Kiv, what have you been up to? (0:01:56) Kev: Um, so actually just this week, I actually hit credits on Dave the Diver, the whole thing. (0:02:03) Kev: Um, so I guess, you know, I’ll say that for a second when we get to the main topic, but (0:02:09) Kev: um, I spent a lot of time doing that, but other than that, um, the big one, have you (0:02:14) Kev: heard of Zenless Zone Zero? (0:02:16) Jonnie: I have not. (0:02:16) Kev: Okay. (0:02:17) Kev: Have you heard of miHoYo? (0:02:19) Kev: I sure hope you have. (0:02:21) Jonnie: No. (0:02:22) Kev: Okay. (0:02:23) Kev: Okay, um, have you heard of genshi? (0:02:23) Jonnie: I don’t know any of these words. (0:02:26) Kev: It may not work. (0:02:28) Jonnie: Yes, that’s like the… (0:02:30) Jonnie: That’s like the… (0:02:30) Kev: That may not work. (0:02:32) Jonnie: The big titty… (0:02:34) Jonnie: Gacha game, right? (0:02:38) Kev: That’s correct. Well, that descriptor might not be narrow enough, but yes, you’re on the right track. (0:02:44) Jonnie: Okay. (0:02:44) Jonnie: It’s the really popular big titty. (0:02:46) Kev: Yeah, the really popular one. Yeah, that one. It’s not nike. (0:02:52) Kev: So, miHoYo is the company/developer. (0:02:56) Kev: We’re behind Genshin Impact. (0:02:58) Kev: They have, since Genshin published a few other, released a few games. (0:03:04) Kev: One of them called Honkai Star Rail, which is very similar to Genshin, but that one’s turn-based while Genshin is a Breath of the Wild style game. (0:03:14) Kev: And then, just, I think at the start of July, they released a game called Zenless Zone Zero, which again, very similar. (0:03:23) Kev: Similar which has gotcha mechanics (0:03:26) Kev: Animes style type thing (0:03:28) Kev: the genre this time is more of a (0:03:32) Kev: Character action game for lack of a better word of putting it and think near automata that will make fry (0:03:38) Kev: The mash buttons and get hit lots of enemies basically (0:03:42) Kev: The game is free. I got it on my playstation, but you could even get it on mobile (0:03:49) Kev: It is terrifying how excellent the game is (0:03:55) Kev: the actual (0:03:56) Kev: combat portion is (0:03:59) Kev: simple compared to other games, but it is a (0:04:02) Kev: Very it feels good. It controls very well (0:04:06) Kev: the visual presentation is (0:04:09) Kev: Beyond stellar the it has a very it very strong aesthetic like a urban cyberpunk ish kind of thing (0:04:19) Kev: The the other colors are bright the music is (0:04:23) Kev: Phenomenal, even the UI feels Persona. (0:04:27) Kev: Very, very nice. (0:04:30) Kev: It is, as with the other ones, it does have the gacha mechanic for different characters you can play as. (0:04:37) Kev: But here’s the great thing, right? I don’t really care about most of the characters, so I’m okay. (0:04:44) Kev: I did a pull or two or whatever and got some characters, but I’m not hurtin’ like some other games might be. (0:04:52) Kev: Um… yeah. (0:04:53) Jonnie: So I’ve just looked this up in the background while you’ve been talking about it and like because I’m a bit of a sucker (0:04:58) Jonnie: for a for a gacha game (0:04:59) Jonnie: But there was something about like the Genshin impacts and Honkai star rails and never really pulled me and I was like (0:05:04) Jonnie: I don’t know I feel like this one’s this one and hearing me talk about it sounds pretty good because it’s been a sucker for (0:05:08) Jonnie: a long time and (0:05:11) Jonnie: Like so my first real experience with with gacha games was our Final Fantasy record keeper. I don’t know if you recall (0:05:18) Kev: Oh, that’s a deep thought. All right. (0:05:20) Jonnie: That one yeah, and I go really into (0:05:23) Jonnie: that one which was weird because like that’s like the only Final Fantasy game (0:05:26) Jonnie: I’ve ever played right so I have no connection to the characters it just (0:05:30) Kev: Hahaha! (0:05:30) Jonnie: turns out that I really like those sorts of games and then slightly more recently (0:05:33) Kev: Okay. (0:05:35) Jonnie: there was the Marvel Strike Force uh gotcha that was yeah I well I don’t know (0:05:38) Kev: Okay. (0:05:39) Kev: Oh, that was Gotcha? I didn’t realize that. (0:05:43) Jonnie: if it was exactly gotcha I can’t remember exactly the the recruitment (0:05:48) Jonnie: mechanics but it was kind of like enough of overlap where it was you know just (0:05:52) Jonnie: designed to get you to put money (0:05:53) Jonnie: in for absurd you know resource upgrading stuff to five stars (0:05:54) Kev: Sure. It’s designed, yeah, designed for the micro-generated action shirt. (0:06:00) Jonnie: exactly and so I kind of been feeling the pool and there was there was one (0:06:00) Kev: Um… (0:06:07) Jonnie: afk journey that was like all over ads on every platform like two or three (0:06:12) Kev: Yeah, oh, yeah. (0:06:12) Jonnie: months ago and I downloaded that tried that one that one that one didn’t quite (0:06:16) Jonnie: grab me it had some pretty cool mechanics going on but it just there (0:06:19) Jonnie: wasn’t maybe quite enough going on. But yeah, I guess given the (0:06:23) Jonnie: legacy of the developer and me maybe feeling like I’m ready to (0:06:27) Jonnie: be heard again by another Gachi game. I’ve just downloaded (0:06:28) Kev: Yeah (0:06:30) Jonnie: this one. (0:06:31) Kev: Okay, um well dang yeah, yeah, I’ve heard of afk journey. I think I heard you talk about it (0:06:39) Kev: but (0:06:40) Jonnie: I probably did. I probably talked about it on the show. (0:06:41) Kev: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it’s been a minute. But um, I (0:06:46) Kev: Mean like if you are in need of another gotcha to anyone else like I can heartily recommend this one (0:06:52) Kev: like you know, I’m still (0:06:55) Kev: early in pretty much. I don’t think I played a full week at this point. (0:06:59) Kev: Maybe. I haven’t hit any huge road blocks. What’s fun about this one is there’s a lot of skill to the component, right? (0:07:09) Kev: Because you can dodge attacks and parry and stuff like that, right? So, you know, you can, you don’t feel bottlenecked by not having S rank characters or whatever. (0:07:20) Kev: Yeah, I got through, they give you three starter characters and I got through most of it. (0:07:25) Kev: pretty much everything I played up to now with those three (0:07:28) Kev: because I enjoyed them. (0:07:30) Kev: I’m sure some people might dig some of the other characters, I don’t think there’s one or two that I think are cool, but I’m not dying to get them. (0:07:40) Kev: I haven’t wailed yet, as the term goes. (0:07:44) Kev: There is a bear, there’s a playable bear there, that’s kind of fun. (0:07:48) Kev: He’s a bear with a big cinder block, like cement blocking, I don’t know what it is, he works in a construction company. (0:07:56) Kev: company. (0:07:56) Kev: Anyways. (0:07:58) Kev: No, it’s great, it’s free, the biggest con I think it has, well, it’s free to download, (0:08:03) Jonnie: Kevin, you can’t keep saying a gacha game is free. We all know they’re not really free. They’re like fake-free. (0:08:10) Kev: free to start. (0:08:15) Kev: But the biggest knock I have against it aside from, you know, the trappings of the genre, (0:08:22) Kev: the gacha mechanics or whatever. (0:08:25) Kev: The game is just fake. (0:08:29) Kev: Filled to the brim with nonsense words and features and holy mackerel it is overwhelming. (0:08:38) Kev: Because they have to make up a name for every little thing, there’s bangboos and proxies and carrots and oh my goodness it’s beyond overwhelming. (0:08:51) Kev: But that’s okay because when I get to the actual little gameplay where I fight stage-full venomous, (0:08:58) Kev: none of that matters and I enjoy myself. (0:09:03) Kev: So yeah, if you can get past the wave of just overwhelming nonsense, jargon, techno-babble, I think it’s a great time. (0:09:15) Jonnie: Awesome, I am looking forward to getting sucked into this whole- (0:09:18) Kev: He’s sick. Let me know when you get in and we can… (0:09:22) Kev: Geez, I don’t know what multiplayer stuff there is but we can at least talk about our units. (0:09:28) Jonnie: Exactly exactly (0:09:30) Kev: What’s your favorite JPEG that you pulled? (0:09:32) Kev: Okay, but yeah, that’s all I’ve been really up to aside from Dave. What about you, Johnny? What’s been going on with you? (0:09:41) Jonnie: Nothing too much I kind of been dead for the last month (0:09:44) Jonnie: So I think last time I was on the show Al and I were talking about starstruck vagabond (0:09:50) Jonnie: and (0:09:51) Jonnie: The couple of days before we recorded that episode work called me and I said hey (0:09:55) Jonnie: We need someone to go on an international trip. (0:09:58) Jonnie: For like two weeks, in like three days, how would you like to be that person? (0:10:02) Jonnie: And I was like shocked, because it was an international trip, but it was an international trip home. (0:10:07) Jonnie: So I got up at 4am to record that episode with Al, and then immediately went to the airport to get on a flight to disappear for two weeks. (0:10:14) Jonnie: Which was great. (0:10:16) Jonnie: And then I got back, and as happens with international travel now, you sit on a plane with a bunch of other gross humans, and then you come back and you get really sick. (0:10:24) Jonnie: um and so that’s kind yeah (0:10:24) Kev: Oh, yeah, good time. (0:10:28) Jonnie: so that’s kind of what happened with me. I just got really sick and uh I feel like there’s two (0:10:34) Jonnie: there’s two versions of being sick right like there’s the version when you feel poorly you (0:10:40) Jonnie: probably shouldn’t be out in public but kind of mentally you’re fine right and like it’s one of (0:10:44) Jonnie: those great times of being sick where you can sit down you play video games (0:10:46) Kev: Yeah, sure the maybe more inconvenient time or what have you yeah, I get that (0:10:53) Jonnie: Then there’s the sort of sick where your brain just doesn’t work and all you want to do is sleep or do the most mindless activity possible. (0:11:05) Jonnie: And I was in the second category so I have literally not played anything for about a month and a half now. (0:11:05) Kev: And of course, jeez Louise, what did you have? (0:11:14) Kev: What took you out of that long? (0:11:15) Jonnie: I don’t know like it was well so was the travel like I didn’t get to put the time to play any game cells on the travel and then it was just. (0:11:23) Jonnie: What are those sicknesses that like it just kind of wiped me out for about a week it was probably covered if I’m being honest. (0:11:30) Jonnie: And then by the time I was kind of better work was then crazy enough that it was just like the brain space to actually sit down and play something was just not there. (0:11:39) Jonnie: So I literally have not played anything in a couple of weeks. (0:11:40) Kev: Mmm good times (0:11:42) Jonnie: And then as I started to feel better the Olympics started and I am very into watching the Olympics in Australia. (0:11:52) Jonnie: the olympic sta- (0:11:53) Jonnie: I really like they start their day at about 6 30 our time so you kind of get home and you’re (0:11:57) Jonnie: like making dinner and the olympics is just firing up for the day so you can get very sucked into (0:12:00) Kev: Oh, that’s nice, that’s good timing. (0:12:03) Jonnie: yeah it’s it’s really good timing um this week in particular i’ve got really into watching judo (0:12:09) Jonnie: uh which is a it’s so cool it’s such a cool sport uh not a sport that I have any interest in doing (0:12:09) Kev: Oh, Judo’s so cool. (0:12:16) Jonnie: like sometimes you watch an olympic sport and you think oh could I do that judo zero interest in (0:12:20) Jonnie: doing, but man it’s a cool sport. (0:12:22) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I haven’t followed Judo. (0:12:25) Kev: Have there been gold medalists yet? (0:12:28) Jonnie: - Yeah, there’s been medals, I think. (0:12:31) Jonnie: I think they’re through most of the judo now, (0:12:34) Jonnie: but it’s just been really interesting sort of, you know, (0:12:36) Jonnie: seeing like, it’s one of those martial arts (0:12:38) Jonnie: that’s very, like most martial arts, very technique driven. (0:12:42) Jonnie: But I guess it kind of being that more grapple (0:12:44) Jonnie: or throw style has been very interesting for me. (0:12:47) Jonnie: And it’s one of the things that I love about the Olympics (0:12:49) Jonnie: is learning about weird niche sports (0:12:52) Jonnie: that you don’t really see any other time (0:12:54) Kev: Yeah. Yeah. Well, first off, on Judo, I did Taekwondo when I was younger, for many, (0:12:55) Jonnie: and getting into it. (0:12:56) Jonnie: Have you watched any of the Olympics, kid? (0:13:02) Kev: many years, actually. So I love martial arts. Judo, obviously, is a different beast, because (0:13:08) Kev: it feels almost at times like one move, a touch of death sort of thing. So the, you know, the mental (0:13:16) Kev: dance, the standoff feels extra intense, in my opinion. But I… (0:13:24) Kev: Personally, I’ve caught up with a lot of the highlights and, you know, headlines and things (0:13:30) Kev: like that. I haven’t really sat down to watch many of the events themselves. I’ve watched (0:13:33) Kev: some of the gymnastics stuff, because out in the United States, we have, you know, it’s a mobile. (0:13:38) Kev: So, of course, that gets the, well, the press coverage. But I will say, this Olympics probably (0:13:45) Kev: the strongest memes to come out. Maybe all of them. Shooting in particular. Hats off to that (0:13:53) Kev: Turkish guy. (0:13:55) Jonnie: That Turkish guy is so cool. He makes every other shooter just look super friggin lame. (0:13:55) Kev: Okay. Okay. (0:14:00) Jonnie: Like I don’t like shooting. Like I hate it when they have all of the eye masks and everything (0:14:06) Jonnie: else. It’s the same with archery where it’s like to me the skill is meant to be in you the human (0:14:11) Jonnie: doing it. Not having all of this stuff to point you and having it be a good contest and like how (0:14:15) Jonnie: still can you hold your arm. So I think that dude makes the rest of the shooters look hella (0:14:16) Kev: The- (0:14:20) Kev: Oh, absolutely, the- like, the- you know, the picture, the picture once he- like, the part that kills me is his other hand’s just in his pocket. (0:14:28) Kev: Like, he’s not, you know, doing it to a hand at old or anything, just- just bam. (0:14:28) Jonnie: - Yeah, it’s (laughs) (0:14:33) Kev: Uh, I don’t know if you ever heard, but he- it turns out he actually did, in fact, serve in the Turkish military. (0:14:38) Kev: And he, uh, actually did the same thing like 10 years ago, where he got- I don’t- I don’t know if it was what, uh, event it was, (0:14:45) Kev: but he did some shooting and. (0:14:47) Kev: No, no, no equipment was over. (0:14:49) Kev: Wild, wild stuff. (0:14:50) Jonnie: Yeah, he won a world championship like 11 years ago or something like that, yeah (0:14:50) Kev: Um, okay. (0:14:53) Kev: That’s what it was. (0:14:54) Kev: Okay. (0:14:54) Kev: Yeah. (0:14:55) Kev: Um, oh yeah, good, good stuff. (0:14:58) Kev: Um, yeah, Olympics, good time. (0:15:01) Jonnie: The other spot I’m going to talk about briefly, because I find the acts mind-blowing and how they do it even more insane, but it’s synchronized diving. (0:15:10) Kev: Oh, oh, yeah, I saw I did see some of that (0:15:13) Kev: that’s (0:15:14) Kev: Insane insane. What was it? China that did the two women? I think I think there’s women that uh, (0:15:19) Jonnie: Yep, there’s that video of them diving side by side, and the first time you watch it you think there’s just one of them because they are that in sync. (0:15:20) Kev: Yeah, you know the one though with the red (0:15:27) Jonnie: It’s so good. And those people are so, they’re so impressive. It’s just the technique to do that individually combined with having to time that perfectly with another human being is insane. (0:15:33) Kev: Oh, yeah (0:15:41) Kev: it really is like holy moly it’s like specific rib they’re moving in sync they’re sharing the (0:15:48) Kev: same brain path that’s it’s oh man you’re right sync synchronized diving is is so cool so cool (0:15:54) Jonnie: Cool, um, the only other thing I want to bring up, it’s somewhat news, but I just (0:16:01) Jonnie: saw that the the hardy hank plush is now out on makeshift. I’m like really 50/50 on it if (0:16:08) Kev: Oh, it is really good. I’m yup. Yeah. Yeah, the good good call cuz well, I guess I don’t know when people are gonna listen to this one. It’ll probably still be up the campaign or whatever. But yeah, I think that thank thank from Baren breakfast as a makeshift plush. It’s really, really good. I’m I’m hurting cuz I’m hoping I can get it. I’m I’m doing the best the budgeting to do it, but it is really good. (0:16:08) Jonnie: I want to get it because it’s so cool. (0:16:36) Jonnie: All right, well shall we get into Dave the diver X (0:16:42) Kev: Let’s dive right in okay, so first off (0:16:45) Kev: I’m gonna update my thoughts because when I talked with Al we I don’t know if it’s like chapter 2 or 3 something like (0:16:51) Kev: That and like I said, I hate credits this week (0:16:55) Kev: So all the stuff I said in the episode maintains true I like the mechanics I (0:17:02) Kev: like the fish part of it (0:17:05) Kev: the I did more bosses and (0:17:08) Kev: It’s interesting how they approach bosses (0:17:12) Kev: some of them were fairly challenging, I think (0:17:16) Kev: Al was right that they add a lot of weird one-off mechanics later in the game (0:17:21) Kev: Which I didn’t mind as much as him, but it is an interesting design choice to say the least (0:17:28) Kev: The story was you know (0:17:31) Kev: Very basic or whatever, but it was for their fun characters (0:17:36) Kev: and (0:17:38) Kev: Seeing some of the the horrors of the deep good times good times (0:17:43) Kev: And I’m not even talking about the mutated dredge whores. I’m talking about the regular whores (0:17:47) Kev: Yeah, but I mean overall I really really enjoyed it. I did the Godzilla DLC as well (0:17:53) Kev: That was super fun and enjoyable (0:17:56) Kev: We have another episode on that so I won’t get into detail, but yeah two thumbs up for me on Dave the diver overall (0:18:03) Kev: What about you Johnny? (0:18:07) Jonnie: No, and I have to say I did not get into Dave the Diver that much, and so you kind of like roped into doing this diving, you know, thing, anyway, and then Goncho shows up and he’s like, he shows up and he’s like, you’re going to be my waitress now and like serve people, which you do did the tutorial of that, I got everything perfect, right, I put everyone’s tea perfectly. (0:18:33) Jonnie: And his immediate comment was “It was a bit sloppy.” (0:18:37) Jonnie: I was just like f*ck off and I turned the game off and I haven’t played it since. (0:18:38) Kev: Oh good times, that’s… (0:18:41) Jonnie: Like that, it really, it really annoyed me. (0:18:43) Jonnie: Yeah, okay, I need to do a version of that without Squirt. (0:18:45) Jonnie: I need to do a version of that without Squirt, it just like, it rained me so much. (0:18:52) Jonnie: Yeah, so I probably didn’t get into Dave the Diver that much. (0:18:56) Jonnie: I didn’t really like the start of the game, I guess to be blunt. (0:19:01) Jonnie: I didn’t like the serving aspect of the sushi side of things. (0:19:07) Jonnie: I want to play Dave the Diver, not Dave the Waitstaff. (0:19:09) Kev: Yeah, you know what, you’re right, it is, that’s a very minimal part of the game, like, you could probably skip that whole gameplay portion, like manage the restaurant maybe, but yeah, you know, that part is more or less negligible because the diving portion is absolutely the bread and butter, the main sell of the game. (0:19:11) Jonnie: I (0:19:30) Jonnie: Yeah, and so when they said like oh now and the way I feel like it’s done is where the the sushi chef (0:19:37) Jonnie: Just like forces you to (0:19:39) Jonnie: Serve the sushi. I just didn’t get why that was even in (0:19:44) Jonnie: The game like that to me like there’s nothing (0:19:48) Jonnie: fun or enjoyable about (0:19:50) Jonnie: That it’s not like I’m not playing Dave the server at a restaurant. I’m playing Dave the diver (0:19:57) Jonnie: I want to go diving and bring stuff back and have that yet (0:20:00) Jonnie: Do all of the upgrades and all of those sorts of things that that you and I talked about on the first episode (0:20:05) Jonnie: That sounded great, but I don’t want to have this (0:20:10) Jonnie: Stupid minigame. I have to do (0:20:12) Jonnie: Every you know after every couple of dives to go and do it and I didn’t like the way it was done (0:20:19) Jonnie: Like I thought the the goncho the the character the way he kind of forces you into doing it (0:20:26) Jonnie: Really brought to me the wrong way. I thought the whole approach of that character was really annoying (0:20:30) Jonnie: and off-putting and I kind of just turned off the game after that because I was like I’m just not (0:20:34) Jonnie: interested. Like if there was an option to just skip that entire portion of the game and just get (0:20:41) Jonnie: like you know from tonight’s you know sushi sales you get however much money that’s what I want. I (0:20:48) Jonnie: don’t want to do a timer based running and meeting people and you know fulfilling their orders to me (0:20:54) Jonnie: that’s just yeah it wasn’t something that appealed to me and so I kind of just didn’t… (0:21:01) Jonnie: I didn’t give the game a chance because I wasn’t interested in that. (0:21:03) Kev: Mm-hmm. Well, you know what I’ll agree that Dave needs to learn how to say no cuz he just goes with every single thing everyone requests him (0:21:12) Kev: You hadn’t seen half of it (0:21:15) Kev: Poor Dave he puts it way too much (0:21:16) Jonnie: Yeah, and like, I kind of get that that’s the character, which is fine, it just really (0:21:23) Jonnie: annoyed me in the context of the game being Dave the Diver, and that being the part of (0:21:29) Jonnie: the game that I was interested in, and it just kind of felt like this weird minigame (0:21:32) Kev: Yeah (0:21:33) Kev: Yeah, I’m surprised they don’t give you an option to just you know auto or skip it or whatever (0:21:38) Kev: Um, at least I don’t think so. I’m trying to think I mean later on they they give you tools to (0:21:46) Kev: Skip a lot of it if you want to but like there’s no just one button. I just want to you know, just (0:21:51) Kev: Skip the night or whatever (0:21:52) Jonnie: Yeah, so, you know, it’s a bit unfortunate because for me it doesn’t really feel connected to the rest of the game (0:22:00) Jonnie: In a way other than maybe they had this idea for this as a mechanic and they kind of weached it in because (0:22:07) Jonnie: Personally, it’s just I don’t find that I don’t find the mechanics that were inherent in that side of the game fun (0:22:14) Jonnie: I don’t really like rushing around (0:22:18) Jonnie: meeting orders (0:22:20) Jonnie: needing to do things perfectly. (0:22:23) Jonnie: In a game that to me is, I’m interested in the exploration and catching fish and finding stuff. (0:22:30) Kev: You’re right, it is super conally dissonant, right, just because the diving parts, they can get stressful, but they’re also very chill at the same time because you’re exploring, and it’s generally low pressure, unless you’re under attack by Narwhal, but yeah, you’re right, it is kind of awesome. (0:22:53) Jonnie: Yeah, so anyway, that’s kind of, you know, (0:22:56) Jonnie: my take on the game was like, (0:22:57) Jonnie: I liked what I saw from the diving side of things. (0:23:01) Jonnie: And I kind of just wish that that was what I could have done. (0:23:03) Jonnie: But let’s talk about the Dredge DLC. (0:23:06) Jonnie: And where I want to start this conversation, Kev, (0:23:08) Jonnie: is the thing that sort of stood out to me the most (0:23:12) Jonnie: when I was looking into the DLC is kind of how you engage (0:23:15) Jonnie: with the Dredge, yeah, the Dredge DLC, (0:23:19) Jonnie: where it can only happen on days that are foggy. (0:23:23) Jonnie: And that’s not every single day. (0:23:26) Jonnie: So there’s, you know, you can only do it once (0:23:28) Jonnie: every couple of days. (0:23:28) Jonnie: And how did you feel about that? (0:23:30) Kev: Yeah, this is probably the one of the biggest talking points about the DLC or at least the same negative talking points (0:23:40) Kev: So like I mentioned I just hit credits (0:23:45) Kev: It’s been I don’t remember how many weeks since I first started playing before I even sat down with Al to record it. Um, (0:23:51) Kev: The I hit the dredge DLC for the first time just last night (0:23:56) Jonnie: Wow. (0:23:56) Kev: Yeah, it’s it is (0:24:00) Kev: Random (0:24:01) Kev: Completely random. I got it post credits. I don’t think that’s nice. That’s a requirement (0:24:05) Kev: In fact, I I know it’s actually not you have to only hit like chapter 2 till that can unlock but yeah (0:24:12) Kev: it took that long for me to (0:24:15) Kev: To see it right and like I guess you could find a speed run through it by just skipping dives (0:24:20) Kev: Basically, you know just going in and out or whatever but obviously I was enjoying the game and playing it (0:24:25) Kev: So I wasn’t in a rush to do that per se (0:24:28) Kev: And I wanted to see how long it would take (0:24:30) Kev: Yeah, it took me many weeks to hit the DLC, which is absolutely wild and kind of an awful way to (0:24:37) Kev: To make it accessible, you know, it’d be nice if there’s a person you could just talk to say hey, I want to dredge it up (0:24:44) Jonnie: Yeah, that’s interesting, right? And it’s an interesting way of doing DLC, (0:24:50) Jonnie: particularly in a time where you expect that a lot of people have already completed a large (0:24:56) Jonnie: portion of the game, and so they’re having to play through multiple days just to engage with (0:25:01) Jonnie: the DLC content. So that kind of was the one thing that stood out to me that felt (0:25:05) Jonnie: a little bit interesting, and your idea of like, is there just someone that you could talk to to (0:25:09) Jonnie: be like, “Hey, up the fogginess so that we can engage more with this” would have been… (0:25:15) Jonnie: would have been a good little move. But maybe let’s talk about some of the new mechanics that (0:25:23) Jonnie: the Dredge DLC introduced. And starting with the biggest one, because it just seems like a huge (0:25:28) Jonnie: thing to add to the game, is the fact that you can drive the boat kind of like you can in Dredge. (0:25:31) Kev: Yep, yep, yeah, so that’s the first it’s the it’s really the first thing you do with the DLC. Obviously, you know, it gets foggy and some guy approaches you. And then when you start it, yeah, you’re driving the boat straight up to it’s like even the visual style is very dredge like it. I don’t know how the dredge ship, obviously, I have not played dredge myself right now. But I don’t know how it controls work and whatnot. But it feels fine. It looks a lot like what I’ve seen. (0:26:01) Kev: I don’t know how it works from dredges ship controlling. Granted, the map is a lot more simple. I don’t think there are at least I haven’t yet seen the threats in the overworld to attack the boat like in dredge. (0:26:16) Jonnie: No, and I don’t think there are any threats in the overall to attack the boat, but it (0:26:20) Jonnie: kind of is just crazy to me that that was like, you know, that’s a huge thing to add (0:26:24) Jonnie: to a game, right? (0:26:25) Kev: Yeah, it definitely is. (0:26:25) Jonnie: Where it’s not like, you know, movement mechanics and, like, there’s physics, like, there’s (0:26:31) Jonnie: a lot that has to go into adding something like that to a game like this where there’s (0:26:38) Jonnie: no, like, there’s the movement, obviously, of Dave, but that’s very different to the (0:26:43) Jonnie: movement of a ship. (0:26:44) Jonnie: So it kind of feels like a mini response. (0:26:46) Jonnie: Just a new big system to add and even particularly the way that the art assets work, right? (0:26:52) Jonnie: Because it’s, I don’t know, this was just one of those things. (0:26:54) Jonnie: It’s like, it’s awesome that they did it because it kind of really links the Dave, the diver to dredge in a, in a very clean, thematic, visually aligned way. (0:27:05) Jonnie: It just seems so crazy to add this to, to what Dave, the diver was. (0:27:10) Kev: Yeah, absolutely, right, because the second portion is, you know, the actual dive portion where you’re down in the water, hunting down the aberrations. (0:27:18) Kev: But yeah, it was really nice. They went the extra mile. Like this is what I’d call an A+ collaboration crossover because, you know, really blending the DNA of the two games. (0:27:29) Jonnie: Absolutely. And so, you know, from there, there was a few minigames that I saw that were added (0:27:35) Jonnie: that were very reminiscent of the Dretching minigames from Dretch. We’ve got sort of the (0:27:42) Jonnie: reticle moving around and it’s kind of like a little timing-based minigame. Did you get to try (0:27:50) Kev: Um, no, I didn’t because, uh, like I said, I just did last night. (0:27:54) Kev: I didn’t even get fully through the night or whatever, but I pretty, so you have to (0:27:58) Kev: hit a vortex to dive right in, to start the diving portion. (0:28:02) Kev: And I pretty much just did that right away. (0:28:04) Kev: I, like, I didn’t really, uh, I don’t know. (0:28:06) Kev: I just didn’t think about looking more. (0:28:08) Kev: Um, but that is fascinating. (0:28:09) Jonnie: Cool. Well, let’s, let’s, yeah, let’s talk about the diving then, how does it compare (0:28:15) Jonnie: tonally to the rest of Dave’s The Diving? (0:28:18) Kev: Okay, so it is a night dive which, so as we discussed with Al, or you know when we (0:28:28) Kev: talk about the episode Al, a regular night dive is already pretty dangerous because everything (0:28:33) Kev: is already aggressive and then will attack you. And so here it’s again the same time the ocean (0:28:41) Kev: looks darker. They do change the color scheme to better match dredge. (0:28:49) Kev: But other than that, I guess it’s kind of what you’d expect because yeah, it’s slightly dredge (0:28:57) Kev: colored but there’s the scary aberration fish and you’re just hunting them all a day of the (0:29:03) Kev: diver mechanics. Yeah, I’m kidding. (0:29:04) Jonnie: And so when you’ve kind of got that total, I’m assuming there’s a bunch of aberrant fish that you are now catching and that have been added. (0:29:14) Kev: Yeah, that’s correct. Yeah, they’re all, you know, well, I guess it’s kind of true and dredge that they’re normal fish, but just, just weird like there’s a three headed fish, some fish now have fangs, some have horns, so on and so forth, right. (0:29:28) Kev: There’s a, I saw Marlin with very scary eyes. So yeah, what’s nice is that in regular night dives, a lot of fish can be grouped together. (0:29:44) Kev: And they can attack you can be difficult to navigate that many aggressive fish at once, but at least from what I experienced the dredge fish were pretty spaced out so you could engage on them one on one with a little more room to breathe. (0:29:58) Jonnie: Nice, was there anything else that felt different about the dives, (0:30:02) Jonnie: or was it really kind of just like a different dive in a slightly different location with some (0:30:10) Kev: There’s also new weapons, which is interesting because the weapon is a big part of how you interact with the game, right? (0:30:23) Kev: So, for instance, one of them is called the… was it made rain gun? Yeah, it is… it can… yeah, so your oxygen is your health, right? So you can recover… (0:30:41) Kev: You can recover health using that gun, which is an interesting mechanic because, you know, over… well, I’d say it’s fairly grounded. (0:30:50) Kev: There’s CC people. Dave is generally fairly grounded with their mechanics, but this one’s a little more video game-y and whatnot, and they just explain it away because they’re aberrant fish and it works like that. (0:31:01) Kev: I’m trying to think… was the gravity gun you? Okay. (0:31:06) Jonnie: I think the only new weapon was the life force one. I think the gravity gun was (0:31:11) Kev: Oh, was it? Okay. Yeah, because I found that on the dive. I didn’t know if that was new. That might have been just my first time encountering it. (0:31:16) Kev: But yeah, I’m trying… again, I didn’t get the chance to play as much as I wanted, but at least when you first dive in, like, I didn’t… (0:31:28) Kev: It’s… I’m trying to think here, like, all the… like, so the fish will attack you. I can’t think of any of them doing super crazy and whatnot. I think some of them are pretty fast. (0:31:41) Kev: But that’s… yeah, no, otherwise it feels a lot like a night dive, which I think it’s not bad. (0:31:48) Kev: Oh, there are… so there are crabs in the game in standard, Dave. You unlock them pretty late in the game, and you can get aberrant crabs and whatnot as well. (0:32:01) Kev: And from what I understand from the DLC, there are, like, three areas. I didn’t get to all of them. There are… (0:32:10) Kev: I don’t know all of them. I’ve heard that they’re kind of samey, but… oh, one interesting thing about the aberrant fish. (0:32:19) Kev: You have to use them that night, or they’ll just disappear. You can sell them to a certain vendor, but unlike other fish, they cannot stay in your inventory or at the restaurant. (0:32:34) Jonnie: And I also read that they can only be sold to a certain character that comes in to specifically (0:32:42) Jonnie: eat that sushi. (0:32:43) Jonnie: It’s not like anyone that comes to the sushi restaurant will eat aberrant fish. (0:32:47) Jonnie: Which makes sense, right? (0:32:48) Kev: yep yep yep not everyone’s that adventurous I think would you eat a (0:32:49) Jonnie: Like, not everyone is about that aberrant fish. (0:32:53) Jonnie: Yeah. (0:32:54) Jonnie: I mean, probably. (0:32:55) Kev: three-headed cod I probably would too (0:32:56) Jonnie: Who knows? (0:32:58) Jonnie: Probably. (0:32:59) Jonnie: Who knows? (0:33:00) Jonnie: Hey, that’s how I become Codman. (0:33:05) Kev: but yeah I’m trying to think no I think one thing that is really unfortunate (0:33:13) Kev: From what I understand, there’s no new bosses in the dredge DLC. (0:33:18) Kev: And that’s really unfortunate, because the Godzilla DLC brought in a boss, and dredge has a good helping of monsters to choose from, right? (0:33:31) Kev: So it’s a shame we didn’t get a single one of them. (0:33:34) Jonnie: Yeah, it’s even maybe a shame that there wasn’t some, like, a madness-style mechanic. (0:33:40) Jonnie: You know, you could imagine it sort of sitting alongside the oxygen meter, and maybe rather (0:33:44) Jonnie: than a boss, you know, there’s just the risk that you get attacked by some Cthulian-inspired (0:33:54) Jonnie: creature or, you know, they didn’t really play with, I guess, that sort of madness-Cthulian (0:33:59) Kev: Ooh, yeah, that’s good. (0:34:00) Jonnie: side of things, which would have been really fascinating I think in the way data is set up. (0:34:05) Kev: I didn’t even think about that. (0:34:06) Kev: That would have been a great mechanic, right? (0:34:07) Kev: Like, obviously dredged tonally, you know, that’s very different, right? (0:34:11) Kev: The horrors and whatnot, but at least just a different meter. (0:34:15) Kev: We call it a fear meter, whatever you want to call it. (0:34:16) Kev: Like, uh, uh, it is a shame that they didn’t introduce something. (0:34:21) Jonnie: Yeah, and I think that’s probably the the biggest outside of the difficulty of interacting, (0:34:26) Jonnie: but the biggest criticism I’ve seen of the the the dredge DLC is just the the lack of those (0:34:32) Jonnie: you know bosses that you know are a decent portion of the game and to your point would have (0:34:40) Jonnie: made sense to add in the context of of dredge and what that brings to the day of the dive universe. (0:34:48) Jonnie: Anything else I guess about the DLC specifically? (0:34:51) Kev: so I will say that um there are there is a good amount of the fifth um gosh how many are there (0:35:00) Kev: there’s looking at at least 30 of them which is a pretty good amount to be quite frank um so I do (0:35:08) Kev: give them props for that like I said there are three smallish areas um so it is a fairly sizable (0:35:17) Kev: DLC, you know, at least compared to the Godzilla. (0:35:21) Kev: The Godzilla one, while a lot of fun, was relatively small in scale. (0:35:26) Kev: It’s like a couple of boss fights, really, and finding Godzilla, which is a very minor thing. (0:35:33) Kev: I do wonder if these aberrants are from Dredge directly, or if they made up new ones. (0:35:39) Kev: Like, I’m looking at this one called the Gazing Shark. It looks like a hammerhead, but with giant eyes at the end. (0:35:44) Kev: I don’t know. (0:35:45) Kev: But yeah, other than that, like, I can’t have any direct thoughts. (0:35:49) Kev: Or I don’t have any (0:35:51) Kev: More detailed thoughts. (0:35:53) Kev: Um, like I said that (0:35:54) Jonnie: Cool. Well, one thing I am keen to talk about a little bit is how cool the idea of this as a (0:36:01) Jonnie: DLC is. It’s really cool to see two indie developers teaming up and doing a cross-collaboration (0:36:10) Jonnie: like this. There hasn’t been a ton of these before. I’m probably struggling to think of any, (0:36:15) Jonnie: but I’m sure these sorts of collaborations have been done somewhat infrequently in the past. (0:36:21) Jonnie: But I think in the stage that really… (0:36:24) Jonnie: I would say popular within the niche of people that are following gaming stuff elsewhere, right? (0:36:36) Jonnie: They’re not getting to the level of AAAs, but within people that are engaging with gaming culture or gaming communities, (0:36:42) Jonnie: these games kind of get to a level of popularity. (0:36:44) Jonnie: It’s really nice to see this sort of collaboration coming through as a way to introduce people to other games (0:36:54) Jonnie: who haven’t played, but it’s probably been on their list and could be a little bit of a prompt to get them to do it. (0:37:04) Jonnie: So I would love to see more of the style of collaboration between games because I just think it’s such a cool concept. (0:37:12) Jonnie: The overlap really made sense, right? (0:37:14) Jonnie: It wasn’t just like, “Hey, we’re two indie developers that want to cross-promote our games.” (0:37:20) Jonnie: It’s like no there’s actually a way that we can do this that makes total sense in the (0:37:24) Jonnie: context of both of our games and I just think it’s really clever in that regard. (0:37:31) Kev: Okay, so, like, okay, I was going to say that, right? Like, this, like, I know we kind of covered it quickly, because it’s somewhat, so aside from the dredge, you know, the actual boat controls, like, a lot of it is just, you know, more stylized, Dave, the divering, right, and that’s not a bad thing, and so, but, like, overall, I do really enjoy this DLC, for a lot of the same reasons you said, I think is really, really successful. (0:37:57) Kev: I think I should put, we should put an asterisk though, Dave the Diver is… (0:38:01) Kev: not an indie game. It’s by Mint Rocket, which is a subdivision of Nexon, which is a huge Korean game. (0:38:11) Kev: They do MapleStory and other things. But, I mean, Dredge though, that one’s indie, and it’s very cool that they got to do such an in-depth collaboration, right? (0:38:25) Kev: I think it especially benefits Dredge, because Dredge got a lot of love for sure, but I think… (0:38:31) Kev: Dave had a little more lasting power, maybe because of these DLCs, so I agree. It is a great way to get people’s eyes on Dredge. (0:38:39) Kev: I’ve wanted to play Dredge for a while, and this certainly does motivate me to play it. (0:38:46) Jonnie: Yeah, absolutely. And I don’t know why, but for some reason, maybe I just assumed that (0:38:51) Jonnie: Dave the Diver was edgy because it gives big indie energy. (0:38:52) Kev: well I mean (0:38:56) Kev: yeah I mean it’s pixel right like first of all it’s the pixels and and it’s the (0:39:01) Kev: it’s doesn’t feel triple-a because it’s not you know big (0:39:05) Kev: high-five le graphics fast-action or whatever right (0:39:08) Kev: uh… it (0:39:09) Kev: and it’s not just you let’s not forget the game awards uh… nominated a the (0:39:13) Kev: doctor for the game of the year and uh… everyone got a (0:39:18) Kev: got a little upset at them for that uh… (0:39:21) Kev: But, uh, yeah. (0:39:22) Kev: Uh, uh, you know, but regardless of that, like, I think the points still stand. (0:39:27) Kev: Like it’s, it was a really good way to integrate the two together. (0:39:32) Kev: Um, like I, I struggled to think of the last cola, uh, crossover collaboration (0:39:38) Kev: that worked this well, because I’m obviously thematically to fish games or (0:39:42) Kev: whatever, but even the boat just worked really well, um, with, uh, Dave the (0:39:48) Kev: diverged like I know it’s a fridge mechanic or whatever but it (0:39:52) Kev: feels right at home and in Dave the Diver because of the setting in this (0:39:57) Kev: you know it’s special blue hole place and and they introduced a lot of one-off (0:40:04) Kev: things like that so it doesn’t stick out or any particular way which is I think a (0:40:10) Jonnie: Yeah, absolutely (0:40:12) Jonnie: One final question if they were gonna do a collab with David I was gonna do a collab with (0:40:18) Jonnie: another game property (0:40:21) Jonnie: Thing where would you want that color to come from? (0:40:24) Kev: Yeah, that’s what I’ve been thinking about because yeah, that’s that’s the next question right um (0:40:29) Kev: I’m just honestly I’m trying to think here um (0:40:35) Kev: Well see okay, are we talking about putting something in a day the diver or getting Dave the diver into something else? (0:40:42) Jonnie: Let’s say putting something into Dave the Diver. (0:40:42) Kev: because (0:40:45) Kev: Okay (0:40:47) Kev: Because I was about to bring up new kids gonna be tough to compete with that (0:40:52) Kev: Okay bringing something (0:40:54) Kev: Else into you know what you know what I I would be remiss if I didn’t bring up a big the cat DLC (0:41:08) Jonnie: Big the cat, oh, I love it. (0:41:10) Jonnie: That’s a real throwback for… (0:41:12) Kev: and you know they they kind of got that same body shape going on give them a little (0:41:17) Kev: you know when you complete the dlc a little big the cat so you can wear i’m down for this (0:41:22) Kev: i’m down for this help them uh help them fish for froggy way way down there and you yeah and (0:41:27) Kev: eggman has a machine down there yeah I mean there already were robots machines you have to fight in (0:41:32) Kev: read the diver yeah i’m down for this um yeah what about you you have any ideas (0:41:34) Jonnie: amazing amazing that sounds great um maybe slightly uh more grim but I would really love (0:41:44) Jonnie: to see kind of like a uh dave the diver final dlc that’s a collab with spirit thera (0:41:50) Kev: Darn it darn it. That’s perfect. I didn’t think about it. That’s perfect (0:41:57) Jonnie: like just the whole vibe of the game I feel like a closing moment that is somehow linked (0:42:01) Jonnie: into sphera would be yeah kind of kind of (0:42:04) Jonnie: amazing it feels like there’s a (0:42:05) Kev: Okay, hold on, but here’s the monkey paw you have (0:42:09) Kev: You know a big part of spirit fair is is taking care of the guests, right? (0:42:13) Kev: So now you have to do that with the bancho where it’s sushi restaurant (0:42:16) Jonnie: Look, I’m okay, if it was more like Spiritfare, I could suffer through that. (0:42:26) Jonnie: I would probably play through Dave the Diver just to experience a little bit more. (0:42:30) Kev: I can see it working. You have the spirit fair boat, you know, has the multiple levels so you’re doing the sushi portion (0:42:35) Jonnie: Yup (0:42:37) Kev: But you have to go up and down the levels (0:42:38) Jonnie: That’s a and or you could just have the restaurant be a new room on the Spiritfarer boat (0:42:43) Jonnie: Maybe Dave the diver needs to come to Spiritfarer mate. Maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m thinking about it the wrong way around (0:42:47) Kev: maybe does Dave die at the end of it yep there you go yeah you’re right that (0:42:49) Jonnie: Yes (0:42:51) Jonnie: That is that I feel like that is the natural that that is the natural ending (0:43:03) Kev: truly would be the final DLC there you go with perfect I love it ship it I’m (0:43:08) Kev: reaching out to mint rocket right now (0:43:10) Jonnie: - Amazing. (0:43:12) Jonnie: - Well, I think that was everything I had to cover. (0:43:18) Kev: Oh one thing not specifically to dredge something that I forgot to mention that I want to say since last episode (0:43:24) Kev: I don’t think I ever brought up that I am in fact a real certified scuba diver. So I (0:43:31) Kev: Very much appreciate this (0:43:34) Kev: obviously, I will not be diving to the (0:43:37) Kev: Abyss, you know (0:43:39) Kev: abyssal horror deaths sword and polar waters (0:43:41) Kev: But it is it is very cool to see that I love scuba diving. So it is very cool to see (0:43:48) Kev: game kind of capture that love up (0:43:51) Kev: Yeah, all right. Um, all right, I guess then (0:43:55) Kev: If that’s the case, I think that puts a nice little bow on day of the diver month (0:44:01) Kev: Like I know you weren’t (0:44:02) Jonnie: No, there’s still one more episode to go, Kim. One more episode to go. (0:44:05) Kev: Wait, there is oh, I thought we search the order. I’ve got all this out out cut it all out (0:44:07) Jonnie: Yeah, next- next- next week? (0:44:10) Kev: Never mind. Oh (0:44:11) Jonnie: Next- next week I believe there will be the story episode for the- (0:44:14) Kev: I thought that came out before I don’t know why thought never mind. Okay. Well (0:44:18) Kev: There you go. Well, okay (0:44:20) Kev: Well in that case, I think that covers the dredge DLC (0:44:24) Kev: It’s you know, like I still give it two thumbs up as DLC. Definitely. It’s great crossover (0:44:31) Kev: Like it’s hard to talk about because of it. It’s so much, you know, just kind of pointing out what’s great about David diver the base game (0:44:40) Kev: But it works really well, so, you know two thumbs up (0:44:44) Kev: Thanks for coming on to talk to me about it, John (0:44:48) Kev: Thank you, Al, for having us. Thank you listeners for listening and, Johnny, where should people go to find you and it’s probably not somewhere that personal, but I know there is one place.

It came from (0:45:30) Jonnie: I think the cat coming up in just a- (0:45:32) Jonnie: I do that every single episode that Kev and I do together. (0:45:34) Kev: I put the effort we got to do around two at some point (0:45:35) Jonnie: Which, that was a lot of fun to record, and yeah, we absolutely do, we absolutely do.

Comment trois développeurs ont décidé de révolutionner les jeux vidéo en créant le Gacha en Open World le plus lucratif du marché. La création d'Hoyoverse (MiHoYo), Honkai et Genshin Impact a bien failli causer un drame humain.Aujourd'hui, dans ce JV Legends, on s'intéresse à l'histoire de MiHoYo, les créateurs de Genshin Impact. Un studio, fondé par 3 étudiants, qui a connu une ascension extraordinaire en quelques années ! Quels sont leurs premiers jeux ?

Ces questions, les joueurs européens ou américains de Genshin Impact se les sont sûrement posées.L'ascension vertigineuse de MiHoYo en a surpris plus d'un, et le plus souvent dans ce genre de cas, la création a dépassé le créateur. Cible de plusieurs accusations, entre censure, plagiat, dramas et même d'une tentative de meurtre, l'histoire de ce studio et de ses créateurs n'est pas un fleuve tranquille.

Ad Astra Travelers! Welcome back to another episode of Tales of Teyvat: A Genshin Lore Podcast. Last week, we took a stroll through the ancient history of the desert as we discussed Liloupar and the Fall of Gurabad. We're still shaking the sand out of our shoes!

To start, our hosts go over some of the basic terminology surrounding the Ley Lines before highlighting some important in-game moments where we learn about the Ley Lines. There are connections to Irminsul, Honkai, and talks of an unknown element hiding somewhere in Teyvat. From Lisa to Raiden Ei, Sumeru to Enkanomiya, Rift Hounds and more, the Ley Lines have roots in every corner of Teyvat.

Ad Astra Travelers! Welcome to the season two finale of Tales of Teyvat: A Genshin Lore Podcast. Last week, we discussed the Guili Assembly and all of the drama and sadness that comes with its story. We're hoping we'll hear more from Zhongli or Madame Ping soon. This week we'll be discussing Khaenri'ah. After our hosts reflect on their first oh snap moments in regards to the godless nation, they discuss all the theories surrounding Khaenri'ah. Why did they have a door? Did the Ruin Golems come through the door? Did Gold mess everything up? Whatever happened to the great Unified Kingdom? Why did outsiders living in Khaenri'ah get cursed worst? Unfortunately, this topic seems to have more questions then answers! Our hosts reveal crumbs left in artifact sets, weapons, books, Honkai and more! Buckle in, it's a wild ride! Visit ⁠talesofteyvat.com⁠ to find a comprehensive lore sheet that provides visual aids and links to videos and important Genshin Impact Resources. Make sure to give us a follow on ⁠Twitter⁠ or ⁠Instagram⁠ to stay updated on all things Tales of Teyvat and let us know your thoughts on today's episode. Questions? Thoughts?

In this episode, Madelyn and Emma discuss The Silver Case and Honkai Star Rail, both incomprehensible games in very different ways. Also featuring spooky twins/clones, surfing the vibes, and train racing. Do trains race?

Imagina uma série que aborde os bastidores da indústria de talentos no Japão juntamente com reencarnação, crime, mistério, investigação, e tudo isso com personagens belos e carismáticos. Bem, parece que deu certo, e muito certo. Oshi no Ko já de berço mostrou potencial, pois foi escrita por Aka Akasaka, o mangaká de Kaguya-Sama, e ilustrada por Mengo Yokoyari, autora de Kuzu no Honkai. O mangá começou a ser serializado em 2020 e finalmente ganhou sua adaptação anime na primavera de 2022, estreando com um episódio especial de 90 minutos. Sua abertura e seu encerramento foram feitos por Yoasobi e Queen Bee respectivamente, e logo alcançaram o topo dos rankings. É tanta coisa boa que não tinha como ser diferente, o anime foi um dos destaques do ano! Claro que nossos hosts resolveram discutir o que faz essa série tão especial. Escolham a cor da sua penlight, pois já estamos trazendo o seu pedido! Hosts: Yamryuu (Facebook, IG: @Yamryuu_official e Twitter: @Yamryuu) Umeko_Mikan (Facebook, IG, Twitter e Twitch: @Umeko_Mikan) Sousama (Twitter: @Sousama7) Daisuke (IG, Twitter e Tiktok: @Daisuke_H0j0 e Twitch.tv/daisukehojo) Quer saber mais sobre o coletivo da podosfera Nipo-brasileira?

Hi Ne neue Folge viel Spaß!!!

Can you believe we're already halfway through 2023? Neither can we. As teased last week, the TWiG crew checks in on some of the biggest mobile, free-to-play releases of the year so far. Laura invests in Baltic Avenue as she breaks down Monopoly Go. Phil brings up Fanlight 84 which Kress quickly deems mice nuts. Ethan illuminates the power of anime thirst in character collectors by highlighting Nikke: Goddess of Victory's jaw dropping revenue-per-download. Jen takes us to the Hell with Diablo Immortal. Plus, we celebrate Kress's birthday and learn all about his third mid-life crisis. All this and so much more this week in games. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/deconstructoroffun/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/deconstructoroffun/support

Greg and Ryan have REALLY gotten into Honkai Star Rail. They'll tell you all about their experiences and more!

A stellar adventure.

Honkai Star Rail, Pizza Tower, and a bunch of old games to round out this week's episode!

All aboard, gatcha sickos. Honkai: Star Rail is now available to download. It's totally free, just like miHoYo's preceding game, Genshin Impact, but you can bet the awesome-looking characters in the banner events will wear your resolve down to a nub. But there's more to Star Rail than gatcha, right? After all, it's a full-bodied RPG with hours of content. Does it actually feel like a traditional turn-based adventure, or is strangled by its own sales pitch? We talk about Honkai: Star Rail's launch and beyond with avowed Genshin fan, Good Vibes Gaming's Daniel Alba. Also in this episode: Kat's digging deep into Final Fantasy V Nadia plays Final Fantasy XIV's NiER raid. Everything turns out great Xbox boss Phil Spencer is sowwy Redfall is not very good :3 Korra discourse gets underway with episodes 1 through 3 Nadia is picking up Tears of the Kingdom in the same store she picked up Ocarina of Time, because traditions must be honoured and the old gods must be sated Music used in this episode: Do Your Best!
