We're kicking off a new series on the films of stop-motion animation studio Laika by covering a film they worked on Tim Burton's Corpse Bride!

Kad mazs bērns savā likstā vaino kādu citu, pārlieku asi reaģē stresa situācijā vai ir centrēts uz sevi un savām vēlmēm - to mēs itin viegli saprotam un skaidrojam ar vecuma īpatnībām, bet, ko darīt, ja šādas reakcijas rada pieaugušais? Pasē pilngadību sasniedzam līdz ar 18. dzimšanas dienu, bet, kad par pieaugušo ir uzskatāms cilvēks no bioloģijas skatu punkta? Vai cilvēka smadzenēs emocionālais briedums tiek sasniegts līdz ar kādu gada skaitli, bioķīmisku procesu vai smagu iekšēju darbu ar savām domām un darbiem un kāpēc daži to nesasniedz nekad? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro Anika Miltuze, attīstības psiholoģe, Latvijas Universitātes asociētā profesore. Sazināmies ar neirologu Jāni Mednieku. Ir kāds brīdis cilvēka dzīvē, kad mēs varam teikt no attīstības psiholoģijas viedokļa - viss, mēs esam izauguši, pieauguši, nobrieduši, adekvāti cilvēki? Annika Miltuze: Tas būtu baigi forši, ja varētu prognozēt, ka ir 18. dzimšanas dienas rīts un es pamostos pieaudzis, nobriedis. Parasti tas nenotiek vienā dienā, un arī tā ļoti skaidri novilkt robežu, kurā brīdī tas notiek, ir grūti. Pirmām kārtām tāpēc, ka katrs cilvēks attīstās individuāli. Bet, ja mēs gribam kaut kādas kopīgās likumsakarības, tad mūsdienās no fizioloģiskās attīstības viedokļa, no smadzeņu attīstības viedokļa tiek runāts par 25 gadu vecumu. Psiholoģiskās teorijās bieži vien tiek runāts pat par 30 gadu vecumu. Bet, kā jau es teicu, tas ir diezgan individuāls process. (..) Laika gaitā brieduma kritēriji ir mainījuši. Piemēram, pirms gadiem 30 bija diezgan skaidrs, ka pieaudzis cilvēks, nobriedis cilvēks ir tas, kurš ir pabeidzis izglītību, kuram ir darbs, kuram ir piedzimuši bērni, viņš veido ģimeni. Un apmēram bija diezgan skaidrs, kurā vecumā tas notiek. Ir pagājuši 30 gadi, sociālā situācija, konteksts, kurā mēs dzīvojam, ir mainījies, līdz ar to mēs nevaram vairs skatīties, piemēram, pēc izglītības jo mūsdienās mācās gan divdesmitgadnieki, gan sešdesmitgadnieki. Tātad - kurā brīdī tu esi pabeidzis izglītību? Tas nav saprotams.  Bērni dzimst arī ļoti dažādos vecumos, dzimst 20 gados, dzimst 40 gados, pat 45 gados. Darbs arī nav vairs kritērijs. Cilvēki reizē mācās, strādā. Dzīve pie vecākiem, padzīvoju pie vecākiem, dzīvoju patstāvīgi, atkal padzīvoju pie vecākiem. Šobrīd ir daudz grūtāk atrast skaidrus, taustāmus kritērijus, tāpēc pētnieki vairāk pievēršas tieši psiholoģiskajiem kritērijiem. Bet tur arī nav tik viennozīmīgi, jo tas ir atkarīgs no kultūras, kurā mēs dzīvojam. Piemēram, Rietumu kultūrā biežāk kā brieduma kritēriji tiek uzskatīti spēja uzņemties atbildību, finansiālā neatkarība un autonomija, respektīvi, ka tu esi patstāvīgs indivīds, kas nedzīvo nevienam uz kakla.  Austrumu kultūrās, pētījumi, kas nāk no Ķīnas, no Indijas rāda, tur bieži vien centrā izvirzās rēķināšanās ar citiem, jo tās ir vairāk kolektīvās kultūras, savu emociju paškontrole, ka tu spēj citu labā varbūt apvaldīt sevi. Bet visam cauri tomēr vijas tā spēja uzņemties atbildību, kas, man liekas, ir tāds viens no tādiem fundamentālākajiem kritērijiem.   Paaudžu attiecības un savstarpējās rūpēm senāk. Sarunas 1. daļa Mūsu tautas folklorā varam atrast teicienu “ar ragaviņām uz mežu”, kas nozīmētu - aizvest no savām acīm prom it kā traucējošos vecos cilvēkus. Ko šāds teiciens pasaka par paaudžu attiecībām un savstarpējām rūpēm senāk? Kā šīs attiecības un vajadzība pēc aprūpes iestādēm senioriem mainījusies mūsdienās? “Ar ragaviņām uz mežu”, nabagmāja, pansionāts - tie ir jēdzieni, kas tapuši dažādos laikos un sniedz informāciju par attiecībām ar vecāka gadājuma, nabadzīgiem vai smagi slimiem cilvēkiem un attieksmi pret viņiem. Interesanti gan ir tas, ka mūsdienās savā domāšanā un valodā mēs lietojam visus pieminētos apzīmējumus, kaut nabagmāju vietā ir sociālās aprūpes centri, ikdienā dēvēti par pansionātiem, un ar ragaviņām uz mežu, kas pieminētas tautas pasakās, neviens savus vecākus vai vecvecākus neved. Vērojumu līmenī šķiet, ka paaudžu attiecības mūsdienās tomēr ir citādas nekā pirms 100 vai 200 gadiem. Vecākā paaudze tagad ilgi ir aktīva, strādā arī pensijas vecumā, un vēl jūtama liela individualizācija. Ja agrāk paaudzes bieži dzīvoja kopā, tad tagad ģimenes vēlas nošķirties. Vai tas ietekmējis arī pietāti pret senioriem? Šim meklējam atbildes sarunā ar Annu Žabicku - sociālantropoloģi, kā arī pētnieci Paula Stradiņa medicīnas vēstures muzejā, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātē un arī Latvijas Universitātē. Ko tad rāda dati par paaudžu kopādzīvošanu un savstarpējām rūpēm?

(0:03:15) Kev: Ah, shotgun wedding? (0:03:19) Codey: So it’s, I don’t know, it’s one of those like, we feel like it, but we just haven’t done (0:03:27) Codey: the place yet. And I don’t know if he’s I think he might be waiting to like, do a special proposal (0:03:28) Kev: Yeah, there you go. (0:03:32) Codey: or whatever, which is a little silly, because we kind of already know it’s gonna happen. But at the (0:03:37) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:03:38) Codey: same time, like, I’m not gonna say no to being hampered for a moment or something. So, but no, (0:03:45) Codey: so not getting hitched, not getting engaged, none of that I have just been dissertationing and (0:03:50) Codey: dog sitting. So and chickens, chickens are the dog sitting. Yeah. (0:03:52) Kev: And chickens, apparently, you use these. (0:03:57) Codey: So dissertation, I am trying to defend this upcoming fall. So within the next like, (0:04:06) Codey: within the next six months, it’s horrifying. And so I have a lot to get done. And I finally (0:04:13) Codey: got money to hire people. So I have people that are helping me now. And so they I’m like, in the (0:04:22) Codey: lab a lot because I’m getting them to help me. I have people only through (0:04:27) Codey: July so with the in August I’m back to being by myself so these next few (0:04:30) Kev: Oh, oh you gotta squeeze out what you can. Yeah, oh you gotta move on. (0:04:33) Codey: months yeah these next few months are like as much as possible um so I (0:04:40) Codey: haven’t been dog sitting actually that much because I’ve been kind of switching (0:04:43) Codey: into like being on campus but I am dog sitting at this present moment my (0:04:47) Codey: advisor goes on a couple different summer vacations and I always like watch (0:04:53) Codey: his dogs and stay at his house and he also has chickens. (0:04:54) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:04:57) Codey: the chickens come in he has I think four hens and then he bought seven baby chicks (0:05:06) Kev: okay (0:05:08) Codey: like right before he left one of them did not make it so far but I mean that’s they kind of just do (0:05:09) Kev: Yeah (0:05:12) Kev: No (0:05:15) Codey: that it’s not uncommon for that to happen so about all the other ones are doing great so I had to (0:05:16) Kev: Yeah (0:05:19) Kev: Yeah (0:05:23) Codey: Just kind of check on them and refill their water. (0:05:24) Kev: Can’t great good stuff (0:05:26) Kev: It’s it’s always surprises me how like affordable and easy it is to get into chickens if you have the space for it (0:05:32) Codey: He was like, it was so funny because we were texting about it. And he was like, he was (0:05:39) Codey: doing the whole like, back in my day, they used to be like a dollar each. And now they’re (0:05:44) Codey: $4, I guess. When you buy them, and he was like, it’s just so like, why is it selling? (0:05:45) Kev: Haha, yeah. (0:05:50) Codey: They used to be so much less expensive. And I was like, yeah, 100%. Um, but it’s fun. (0:05:52) Kev: Well, general gestures at the world, I guess. (0:06:00) Codey: So that I’ve also been doing (0:06:02) Codey: actual gardening at my house. (0:06:04) Kev: No, what’s growing? (0:06:04) Codey: So I have a bunch of peppers coming up, (0:06:08) Codey: some romaine, some kale, some tomatoes, and then I planted. (0:06:13) Codey: So all of those that I just mentioned (0:06:15) Codey: were like starts already. (0:06:17) Codey: So they were already like a little seedling. (0:06:20) Codey: They already have stuff going on. (0:06:20) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:06:23) Codey: But I had these zucchini seeds that weren’t ready, (0:06:28) Codey: like weren’t started. (0:06:30) Kev: I know. (0:06:30) Codey: And so I put those, and they were, (0:06:32) Codey: actually, a little old. So I was like, I don’t know if this is gonna work. So I put the seeds in the ground, and low and behold, they are a bump in. So I actually need to thin those. Yeah, they actually, I actually need to thin those. And then in game news, I beat Breath of the Wild. And I started Tears in the Kingdom, and I did not get very far. I fell to the, to the ground, and then (0:06:42) Kev: life sprung forth. (0:06:52) Kev: Yo, congrats, okay. (0:07:03) Codey: immediately tried to make a wagon out of, because it’s like, there’s like parts all over the world. And there’s like, clearly, what are wagon parts. And I got almost all the way, and then I messed something up. And I like tried to shake it off. And it just broke the whole thing. (0:07:09) Kev: Yeah, yeah. (0:07:18) Kev: Oh, ha ha ha ha! Yeah! Yeah! (0:07:21) Codey: I haven’t really gotten back into that. (0:07:25) Kev: Oh, too disheartening. (0:07:26) Kev: Uh, um, okay, well, alright, there’s a lot here, so let’s back up one sec. (0:07:32) Kev: Okay, birth of the wild, what are your overall thoughts? (0:07:36) Codey: I really liked it. I think the story was don’t don’t look too hard at it, you know, like (0:07:41) Kev: Yeah, that’s correct (0:07:43) Codey: It’s pretty see-through, but it was a solid game. I had a lot of fun (0:07:46) Codey: I still have so much that I could do if I wanted to 100% it but I (0:07:51) Codey: Do not want to do that. So I’m not gonna do (0:07:53) Kev: Yeah, understandable. (0:07:56) Kev: Yeah. (0:07:57) Codey: Maybe it’s something I’d go back to later, but I just have I’m in this like (0:08:02) Codey: Purge mode where I’m like, I need to get through things. So I’m like purging my book (0:08:06) Codey: shelf. Like, I’ve been going through books that are on my bookshelf instead of buying (0:08:06) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:08:11) Codey: books this year and getting rid of a lot of that. I’ve been just going through like boxes (0:08:11) Kev: Mm-hmm. That’s good (0:08:18) Codey: that I’ve had for forever and I just need to get rid of them. So yeah. (0:08:20) Kev: Yeah (0:08:22) Kev: Yeah, okay (0:08:25) Kev: Understandable, okay, uh tears of the king. All right, you know what? (0:08:28) Kev: I think it’s probably for the best you take a breather because tears the I mean (0:08:32) Codey: Yeah. (0:08:33) Kev: There’s a lot new and like it’s sequel worthy (0:08:37) Kev: But it’s still you know, the the breath of the wild skeleton is there, right? So (0:08:38) Codey: Yeah. (0:08:40) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:08:42) Kev: That’s a lot of breath of the wild at once and here’s the kingdom just like the predecessor is beefy (0:08:47) Kev: So, you know what, it’s probably for the best you take. (0:08:48) Codey: I think that’s the thing is like I started playing Tears of the Kingdom and I was like (0:08:56) Codey: I can see how this is going to be the same but also I’m not emotionally ready for these (0:09:01) Codey: changes like there was so much that like powers are different and I’m just struggling and (0:09:02) Kev: Yep. Oh, yeah. Yep. (0:09:09) Codey: so I yeah I needed to take a step back but yeah we. (0:09:11) Kev: Understandable, but it’ll be there when you’re ready. It’s good. It’s a thumbs up as well. (0:09:18) Codey: Yeah we’ve been doing a lot of stuff around the house and I’ve been trying to get rid (0:09:19) Kev: But yeah, I’d take a breather because it. (0:09:27) Codey: of a bunch of my specimens. I have like bugs that are that I caught like on my own that (0:09:32) Codey: I don’t actually they’re not part of anything that I just wanted to go through and I’m so (0:09:38) Codey: I’m finally starting to go through some of those so that my partner and we can have my (0:09:45) Codey: My partner and my roommate can have a freezer again. (0:09:48) Kev: Hmm (0:09:48) Codey: Everyone wants to be with the weird bugs early until they realize it means no freezer space because your freezer is all bugs. (0:09:56) Kev: that’s good good stuff (0:09:58) Codey: So yeah. What have you been up to though? How’s the pup? (0:10:04) Kev: oh the pup the pup is is he’s got healthy six seven months old he’s I mean he’s full size (0:10:11) Kev: he’s gonna be a little guy forever he’s toy variety of poodle but he still is energetic (0:10:12) Codey: Yeah. (0:10:16) Kev: and chaotic as always um still very much puppy um yeah um but uh but he’s yeah he’s a lot of fun (0:10:25) Kev: and still a lot of work, a lot of energy. (0:10:26) Kev: but it’s good. (0:10:29) Kev: Let’s see, other thing, non-puppy things. (0:10:32) Kev: So, I got Kyle and his late birthday gift to Switch 2 on just Friday. (0:10:40) Kev: That was a wild ride because, so the week, Switch 2 is a week out now, basically. (0:10:48) Kev: And I heard people, you know, I didn’t hear any horror stories of PS5, like, oh, it’s not available anywhere. (0:10:54) Kev: I heard everyone was getting it fine and so on. (0:10:56) Kev: And then later in the week I heard, “Oh, this is now the fastest selling console of all time ever.” (0:11:06) Kev: And then when Friday came and I got my paycheck, I was like, “Okay, so where do I get my Switch 2 for Calvin?” (0:11:12) Kev: And, “Oh, oh, it is now sold out everywhere. Oh, and so I’m sweating here.” (0:11:18) Kev: And then I reached out to someone who’s never done me wrong. (0:11:24) Kev: me wrong, someone all reliable. (0:11:26) Kev: you know I heard it was going in and out at stock in some places so I called (0:11:29) Codey: - Ah, yeah. (0:11:35) Kev: my local Costco and sure enough they got him so I was like well you going to (0:11:40) Kev: Costco and so I picked up you know my like switch to and four dozen eggs and (0:11:46) Kev: lemonade you know as one does at the Costco (0:11:48) Codey: Yeah, Costco. Costco also one of the only corporations that did not back off of their queer and diversity stuff when the new administration came in so great, great business to support. (0:12:00) Kev: Yup, yup, yup, Costco generally one of the better ones, not as horribly monstrous as (0:12:11) Kev: other corporations, um, you know, there’s still corporation or whatever, but generally (0:12:17) Kev: I hear good things, um, but anyway, so yeah, so Costco’s great, their food court’s still (0:12:22) Kev: great, um, that I got to switch to at Costco, it came in a bundle, I, I, I drew to Costco, (0:12:28) Kev: There was a discount. (0:12:29) Kev: You get a… (0:12:30) Kev: You get the Switch 2. (0:12:31) Kev: You get the Mario Kart World and a year of the Nintendo Online, the expansion, the better (0:12:37) Codey: live or whatever oh (0:12:40) Kev: one. (0:12:41) Kev: I forget the final price, but it is at a discount, all the stuff all together. (0:12:46) Kev: So that was nice. (0:12:51) Kev: And yeah, so we fired it up, Calvin played a lot of Mario Kart World with Calvin, I see (0:12:56) Kev: for myself, um, it, Mario Kart world is, you know, (0:13:00) Kev: interesting. Like now, now I can understand the process on the stuff Al said. (0:13:05) Kev: So like the Grand Prix is the biggest change because, um, you know, (0:13:09) Kev: in, in all the other Mario karts, it’s okay. Here’s your four courses. (0:13:12) Kev: You run three laps in them or whatever, right? That, that’s just how it is. (0:13:16) Kev: Okay. Now here, it’s not so much like you’re driving to, (0:13:21) Kev: I mean, you are kind of driving to the next track technically, (0:13:23) Kev: but really that’s just part of the Grand Prix. Like instead of three laps, (0:13:28) Kev: There’s three sections and the first section is… (0:13:30) Kev: Okay, drive to, you know, the next track or first or part of it or whatever, so (0:13:36) Kev: It’s less lab continuous laps around a single track and more just going across this entire island in bits and chunks (0:13:45) Kev: So yeah, that is different (0:13:49) Kev: Overall it’s solid. It’s Mario Kart. What can I say? (0:13:52) Kev: But but yeah, it did (0:13:55) Kev: One thing I will say that the huge cast and roster is actually it’s pretty awesome (0:14:01) Kev: just (0:14:02) Kev: Yeah, like cow cow is great actually (0:14:06) Kev: Yeah, and just other random weirdos and losers like the fishbone or pianza (0:14:11) Kev: And even the the main roster that you know the named characters they they have their costumes and a lot of those costumes (0:14:18) Kev: They’re pretty good. I won’t lie (0:14:22) Kev: You get Luigi dressing up like a like a was they called the gondolas in Venice and like one of those guys the gondola (0:14:28) Codey: Oh yeah, yeah, Donna Lear, yeah. (0:14:30) Kev: Yeah, there you go. That’s the word (0:14:33) Kev: Yeah, you get biker characters and just oh, it’s fun (0:14:37) Kev: There’s it’s it’s a lot to see and do (0:14:42) Kev: So yeah, oh, that’s good and the switch to in general (0:14:47) Kev: Holy moly that the technical upgrade is very not just palpable like it’s it’s it’s clear like night and day (0:14:56) Codey: I would hope so. It’s been like 5 years, right? (0:14:57) Kev: And not (0:15:00) Kev: Yeah, no, it’s been almost ten (0:15:04) Codey: Oh my god. (0:15:08) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:15:08) Codey: That’s… I blinked. (0:15:12) Kev: 2016 or 27th, I can’t write the double check but one of those two that’s almost 10 years (0:15:14) Codey: Holy heckaroo. (0:15:18) Codey: Oh my gosh. Yeah, so it sure as heck better be an improvement. (0:15:21) Kev: Yeah, it is (0:15:23) Kev: But what’s nice is you don’t like cuz you know, there’s the whole switch to upgrades for all these games or whatever (0:15:28) Kev: You don’t even have to get it (0:15:30) Kev: I mean it’s like my brother Calvin, he played Splatoon (0:15:32) Kev: And so one of the first things he did was like (0:15:34) Kev: Okay, I’m gonna play Splatoon 2 or 3 or whatever on the new Switch (0:15:38) Kev: And oh yeah, you can see right away (0:15:40) Kev: Dang, look at those frame rates (0:15:42) Kev: They’re real now (0:15:44) Codey: as with the like switch copy, the old copy, it’s backwards compatible. Yeah. (0:15:47) Kev: Yeah, with his Switch copy (0:15:49) Kev: Yeah (0:15:50) Kev: Yeah, it’s backwards compatible (0:15:52) Kev: And he didn’t get an upgrade pack or whatever (0:15:54) Kev: Just running on the better hardware (0:15:57) Kev: like you can do the games just there (0:16:00) Kev: they just run better so very very cool but but yeah so switch to it’s it’s it’s (0:16:07) Codey: Yeah, good that good that you got one. So I was last week (0:16:12) Codey: Last weekend was go fest. I believe question mark (0:16:16) Codey: Yeah, last weekend was yeah last weekend was go fest and so a bunch of us were running around, New York City (0:16:17) Kev: this weekend I i heard (0:16:23) Kev: oh oh new york city go fest yes okay (0:16:23) Codey: and (0:16:25) Codey: friend of friend of the pod Chris Rivate (0:16:29) Kev: - Yeah. (0:16:29) Codey: Was trying to find one man (0:16:34) Codey: And he could not find one (0:16:35) Kev: Yeah. (0:16:37) Codey: He went to some targets. He went to the Nintendo store. He went he couldn’t I don’t know if he’s found one that by now but (0:16:40) Kev: Yeah. (0:16:41) Kev: Yeah. (0:16:42) Kev: Ooh. (0:16:44) Kev: Yeah, ooh, they didn’t have the Nintendo Store. (0:16:46) Kev: That’s rough, ‘cause the Nintendo Store (0:16:48) Kev: generally is pretty stocked with these things. (0:16:48) Codey: Yeah (0:16:50) Codey: Well and my partner’s uh (0:16:52) Codey: The building he works in is right is like the Nintendo building. Basically. It’s like right there (0:16:58) Codey: And he said the week before like all leading up to it (0:17:01) Codey: They had like 30 stations where you could play switch to out like just on the sidewalk (0:17:05) Kev: » Yeah. Oh, that’s cool. (0:17:07) Codey: Um, and yeah, and and those were all gone because i’m assuming they probably still (0:17:15) Codey: Uh, but yeah, it was it was crazy. Um, so many people would switch to stuff and and Pokemon people and (0:17:25) Kev: that’s that’s cool that’s cool but hey um I like I hope chris finds it soon um I i know they’re (0:17:32) Kev: actively trying to you know they’re trying to feed the machine and get restocks everywhere (0:17:36) Kev: I don’t think this is a ps5 situation where it’ll be gone for a year but you know fast to selling (0:17:43) Kev: cons of all time like holy mackerel I don’t think anyone expected that it’s it’s there’s demand for (0:17:48) Kev: it I guess um 10 years yep um (0:17:55) Kev: yeah that’s that’s good I mean overall thumbs up what can I say you know um prices it is what it (0:18:01) Kev: is but you know it’s it’s still good like in a vacuum um oh oh you know what i’m going back (0:18:07) Kev: to mario kart world first because I just remember two other thoughts I want to add first of all um (0:18:10) Codey: Okay. (0:18:11) Kev: so the race is now 24 people in a race right which is kind of insane um but this actually (0:18:18) Kev: had some upsides because the tracks are now really wide generally speaking (0:18:24) Codey: - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, okay. (0:18:26) Kev: which you know there’s still turns that are unforgiving and you’ll fall off or whatever (0:18:30) Kev: but like the golden like the golden mushroom you know the one you can just spam and go go go go (0:18:36) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:18:36) Kev: like that one’s really good now because you can actually just stay on the track instead of just (0:18:40) Kev: flying off in his space yeah so I i actually like that part of it um and then one of the new modes (0:18:40) Codey: You’re not gonna bump off of things yeah (0:18:48) Kev: it’s called knockout rally um I think I like it better than the standard grand prix it it feels (0:18:56) Kev: so how it works is you have your 24 racers and they give you like an eight section chunk of the map (0:19:03) Kev: like okay here’s point a here’s point b c yada yada yada and so every checkpoint the bottom (0:19:10) Kev: four people are eliminated from the race so you start at 24 and at the end of it you’re it’s the (0:19:16) Kev: top four racing for first place of the overall thing um and that’s a fun mode I guess because (0:19:21) Kev: Because as you get towards the end, it feels a little less chaotic and more like the… (0:19:25) Kev: Classic Mario Kart, which is nice because you get a taste of both ends of the spectrum. (0:19:33) Kev: Because yeah, let me tell you, the 24 racers, it’s insane because if you’re in first place or dead last, it’s caught anywhere else. (0:19:42) Codey: Yeah. (0:19:42) Kev: It’s it is blink and you’re 10 places back. It’s insanity. But um… (0:19:46) Codey: Yeah, I used to play track media and it had a thing like that. (0:19:51) Kev: Oh! (0:19:52) Codey: Yeah. (0:19:53) Kev: Yeah, it’s good. I like it a lot. (0:19:55) Kev: Good stuff. Um, I don’t know. Yeah, switch to like I said overall thumbs up Mario Kart. Good stuff (0:20:02) Kev: Alright, let’s see other than that like so that was Calvin’s thing my own things (0:20:06) Kev: I’ve continued to play unicorn overlord the strategy game with a million layers of strategy (0:20:11) Kev: I don’t think I mentioned it so that you can adjust the logic of your your actions, which is insane to me (0:20:19) Kev: So like you’ll have an let’s say an archer, right? They fire an arrow (0:20:22) Kev: oh well, you can set conditions on (0:20:25) Kev: the attack like okay use an arrow on people in the back row or people only flying units or people that have health so on and so forth. It’s just more and more layers on complexity like good complexity of stuff you can do. It’s insane. It’s for crazy weirdos like me. I love it so much. It’s called Unicorn Overlord. It’s on Switch, PS5, Xbox. It’s on all sorts of things. I found it for cheap on Switch like 30 bucks. It’s on the (0:20:55) Kev: It was a $60 full price game when it came out, but it’s it’s cheap now. It’s it’s so good. And I reached the what I forget the name of the place. I reached the country of the beast people. It’s a whole country of like can have human anthropomorphic beast people. You got werewolf people, the bear people, owls, what else? Foxes and cats. I don’t remember. It’s a whole zoo of (0:21:25) Kev: beast people, which is really fun. I don’t know like and they’re you know, they’re kind of their own variation of classes. Like the bears are huge. They have a huge shield and a huge hammer. Oh, I love it. I like it’s it’s fun. It’s a lot of fun. It’s it’s flavorful. But yeah, Unicorn Overlord is good. It’s great for a freak like me. Another than that, the big one in line with the Switch 2. We got back the interwebs. I have internet running in my (0:21:55) Codey: Yay! (0:21:55) Kev: house and recording. I’m catching up on stuff. Zen la zone zero had its big 2.0 update while I was gone. And I floated that it’s a lot of stuff. It’s Zen la zone zero. I’m into it. And you know, it’s for me. But but oh my gosh, so much stuff to catch up on. And then that’s true for like all the other stuff that you know, my usual online haunts and whatnot. But um, but yeah, it’s nice to have that. At least I can watch videos at home now. But yeah, that’s (0:22:25) Kev: That’s what’s going on with me a lot of stuff. I guess works busy. Oh, oh, you know what minor little golf clap for myself here (0:22:34) Kev: so I (0:22:36) Kev: The company I started a couple months ago in February (0:22:40) Kev: My role is now sales engineer (0:22:43) Kev: So I am technically part of sales team a salesperson making sales or should be I made my first sale (0:22:49) Kev: It’s a little one, but it is a first sale. So yeah a golf clap for me. I did a thing (0:22:55) Kev: So yeah, there’s that. Okay. All right, Kevin’s done. All right (0:23:00) Kev: Let’s let’s get into it. All right next stuff. All right, what do we what do we got here? (0:23:04) Codey: Yeah, next is, “I Know What You Released Last Month,” so this is the every month we have a segment at the beginning of the first episode of the month or something which we’re doing it now. (0:23:20) Codey: We just talked about things that came out last month. So this is stuff that might have slipped under our radar, might have been on your radar, but you also have not noticed that it came out. (0:23:30) Kev: Yeah, I see one at least one (0:23:32) Codey: Um, so these are these (0:23:34) Codey: are the things so we oh I do see one too. So we have ratopia to pixellia franamon ea (0:23:40) Kev: That’s okay, okay (0:23:44) Codey: pixelshire or ea being early access pixelshire dole octown early access of life and land 1.0 (0:23:53) Codey: fantasy life I the girl who steals time and battle country do any of these jump out to you (0:23:58) Kev: Okay (0:24:00) Kev: Well, I got one ratopia. It’s a good game. We did the Kelly and all the nepsilon it you go listen to it (0:24:07) Kev: So that’s a thumbs up from me. Um (0:24:09) Kev: The fantasy life I’ve talked about that. I played the DS once good game gonna get the sequel eventually. I’m (0:24:17) Kev: Not yet, but I will get it. But the big one that I missed I didn’t realize it was out cattle (0:24:24) Kev: cattle country (0:24:26) Kev: Good mood, you know (0:24:29) Kev: I want to do that (0:24:31) Kev: So yeah, I’ll be looking at that. I didn’t realize it was out (0:24:35) Codey: - Mm-hmm. (0:24:36) Kev: What about you anything catch your eye (0:24:39) Codey: Of Life and Land caught my eye. (0:24:41) Codey: So that’s a game that I’ve been wanting to play, (0:24:43) Codey: but it’s a terrible time, terrible time to come out. (0:24:47) Codey: So anything could come out for the rest of the year (0:24:51) Codey: and it would be a terrible time. (0:24:51) Kev: No, it’s gonna be so we’re gonna need I know what you released last year (0:24:53) Codey: It’s just gonna be a bad time for me. (0:24:58) Codey: Yeah, and then I can go, it’ll be at the end of the year (0:25:01) Codey: and that’s when I will just have it. (0:25:03) Codey: I will have all the money (0:25:05) Codey: and a big fat job with all those jobs that still exist. (0:25:07) Kev: You go (0:25:09) Codey: Ha, ha, cry. (0:25:14) Kev: Man (0:25:14) Codey: And I’ll have so much money (0:25:15) Codey: and I’ll be like, oh, what can I spend money on? (0:25:18) Codey: No, so, okay. (0:25:19) Kev: Well, I (0:25:20) Codey: Yeah, that, but what? (0:25:21) Kev: Just I just want to add on on that note (0:25:24) Kev: so the company I work for their headquarters is actually in China and (0:25:30) Kev: Our products are manufactured in China with steel from China (0:25:35) Kev: And again, I started this and (0:25:37) Kev: February right like right early February. So like too much jobs into my or two weeks into my job (0:25:44) Kev: You know things happened and then I was like, well, I might be screwed (0:25:49) Codey: Yeah, it’s just up in the air. (0:25:52) Kev: Yup, no, I say that so much jokingly so far it’s okay (0:25:56) Kev: I did not felt shaky security or anything but still the the timing of that was oh (0:26:02) Kev: That was that was wild. Huh? Anyways, but like I said general (0:26:05) Codey: Yeah, it’s a great time to work in conservation, tell you what. (0:26:08) Kev: Oh (0:26:13) Kev: It’s it’s general gestures at the world, right? (0:26:18) Codey: We are here for escapism. (0:26:22) Kev: Yeah, oh, yeah, I want to escape there’s a bandit (0:26:29) Codey: You want to be a bandit? Is it bandit like Bluey’s dad? (0:26:34) Kev: no not that bandit you know we had um momo con in atlanta one of our big cons that one’s very (0:26:41) Kev: like anime focused for whatever reason they brought uh the voices of bandit and chili (0:26:45) Kev: I didn’t go see them but they were here and like dang that was a good get they were they’re like (0:26:52) Kev: the the headlines they’re like top of billing of the the guest list yeah yeah they would be um (0:26:54) Codey: they would be. We have right now, we have a convention near us that has a giant reunion (0:27:04) Codey: of people from Twilight. There’s also Dante Basco, who plays Zuko in Avatar. He has some (0:27:06) Kev: Oh! (0:27:13) Kev: Yo. Yo, we… (0:27:15) Codey: other roles, but my favorite role of his was Rufio and Hook. But yeah, that’s there’s some (0:27:23) Codey: good names in it. (0:27:25) Kev: Yeah, MobileCon was strong this year. They had some good names. I think they also had some Avatar people, um… (0:27:32) Kev: I know, but yeah, but Band and Chili were another like, “Oh, here’s the ones we were highlighting on. Here’s the, like I said, top building and a little guest list or whatever.” (0:27:41) Kev: Um… (0:27:42) Kev: Ah, Louie’s so good. (0:27:45) Kev: We, we gotta, we still have to do a greenhouse episode of How We Talked About It, and I’d love to do it. (0:27:46) Codey: I just need it back. (0:27:49) Codey: Oh my gosh, I’m not ready to cry. (0:27:51) Kev: Just… (0:27:53) Kev: Well, now we… (0:27:56) Kev: Yeah, there’s a lot of episodes that get emotional reactions, more than you’d think. (0:28:04) Codey: - Yeah, there was one that just like out of nowhere, (0:28:06) Codey: hit me and I was just sobbing. (0:28:07) Kev: Alright, which one? (0:28:10) Codey: No, I’m not, wait, it’s a great way for the greenhouse. (0:28:12) Codey: I’ll tell you not on the, yeah. (0:28:13) Kev: Alright, we’ll stay on the greenhouse, okay? (0:28:15) Kev: You know, look, it’s not my number one, but any time they show an older, bluey, I just scream. (0:28:16) Codey: We’ll do a greenhouse sometime soon without that. (0:28:24) Codey: - Yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:28:28) Codey: With the tree and the camping and the, (0:28:29) Kev: Alright. (0:28:30) Kev: Oh, that was a good one. (0:28:32) Codey: that was a good one. (0:28:34) Codey: So that is what released last month. (0:28:35) Kev: Alright, you know what else was good? (0:28:39) Codey: Are you gonna talk about the wholesome directs? (0:28:40) Kev: I was, because that was… (0:28:42) Kev: Yeah, oh yeah, okay, well yeah. (0:28:43) Kev: But that was the stuff that came out. (0:28:45) Kev: Was there any, you know, I’m going too fast here. (0:28:47) Kev: Is there anything else you wanted to talk about on the stuff that came out? (0:28:49) Codey: - No, no. (0:28:50) Kev: Okay, now, I mean, I’d have to… (0:28:53) Kev: I don’t remember all these names off the top of my head (0:28:55) Kev: So maybe a missing one, but I mean either anyways, but yes wholesome direct that was also good Cody (0:29:00) Kev: Do you have any thoughts on the wholesome? (0:29:02) Codey: So, uh, the question that I’ll pose specifically was did I have anything that you guys didn’t say I didn’t listen to last week’s episode yet (0:29:10) Codey: I’m sorry, so (0:29:10) Kev: That’s fine. No, that’s fine. I’m usually a couple weeks behind myself. (0:29:13) Codey: But (0:29:14) Codey: but also I just um, I just like (0:29:20) Codey: Watch the first like I watched the whole host and direct but a lot of it was I was just like I (0:29:26) Codey: Expected that yep. Okay. Yeah, I’ve heard this is coming out. Okay, this this is to be expected (0:29:30) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:29:32) Codey: The only thing that I was super stoked about and I wrote a note down and I put underlined an exclamation point (0:29:38) Codey: Was leaf-blowing games (0:29:40) Kev: Yeah (0:29:42) Kev: So I’m like (0:29:42) Codey: Um, yeah (0:29:44) Kev: Powerwash simulator has established a genre like it’s wild but here we are (0:29:51) Kev: It’s it’s just that satisfaction of I don’t know clean like sing something becoming clean. I guess like I (0:29:59) Kev: Guess that’s I mean I so one of my little habits quarks. I am infamous for (0:30:08) Kev: adjusting like (0:30:10) Kev: If I’m just standing by some are just like waiting for something or whatever and I see like a dusty area I will start (0:30:17) Kev: dusting that thing cuz I (0:30:18) Codey: Yeah, I do stuff like that too. And then it’s really awkward when I’m doing it. And I’m waiting for my friend to get like ready to go do something and then I’m like cleaning up their house and they’re like, Oh, I’m sorry. Am I dirty? And I’m like, No, I just need to do this. (0:30:20) Kev: That’s that’s (0:30:29) Kev: Yeah (0:30:38) Kev: Yeah (0:30:40) Kev: Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, so it’s no I’m not trying to shame or do anything just I can make like there’s an opportunity to make a dust (0:30:47) Kev: Bunny here, and that’s that’s that that’s a good one (0:30:48) Codey: Or like, I’m sorry, I looked and this plant, uh, like I checked it and it desperately needs water. So I don’t say that. Oh, that was a big. (0:30:56) Kev: Yeah, oh (0:30:59) Kev: Okay, you know that that one might be a little harder like I could see it cuz you know that that one’s like (0:31:06) Kev: Active care of a living thing right like the dust thing that that just happens passively (0:31:11) Kev: But like I get it and I’m like I’m this. Oh, that’s that’s rough. But um (0:31:17) Kev: But yeah, but it’s the same thing. Yeah, just just chicken something offer, you know (0:31:22) Kev: Hi, yeah, you know what hydrating a plant that is a good one right like seeing the water (0:31:26) Codey: Yeah and like you can, especially like I know how to, I’ve had a lot of these plants like I (0:31:26) Kev: Go in and the soil absorbs it (0:31:32) Codey: go to a friend’s house I see their pothos is looking kind of sad and then I can also first of (0:31:37) Codey: all pop those you can just water the crap out of those they’re fine but like or a monstera or (0:31:42) Codey: something and I you can check the soil you can just dip a finger into the soil and if it is bone (0:31:46) Codey: bone dry just pour a little water and just give her a little love. Especially as grad students like (0:31:50) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:31:53) Codey: we usually have so much going on like (0:31:55) Kev: Yeah (0:31:56) Codey: it’s good to just like take care of something for someone so yeah that (0:31:58) Kev: Yeah, yeah for sure yeah, absolutely I get that and like us (0:32:03) Codey: leaf-blowing game though so it was funny because like I was listening to this (0:32:04) Kev: Yeah. Oh, yeah (0:32:09) Codey: while I was the wholesome direct in the um in the museum that I worked in and (0:32:14) Kev: Uh-huh (0:32:14) Codey: people that were working in the museum were like what are you freaking out (0:32:17) Codey: about I’m like this is a leaf-blowing game and like someone was like what do (0:32:21) Codey: you mean and then someone else started explaining they’re like yeah it’s like (0:32:24) Codey: Like, it’s like– (0:32:26) Codey: like, leafblowing, or, like, there’s a power wash one. (0:32:29) Codey: But, like, why don’t you just, like, get one in real life? (0:32:33) Codey: Why don’t you just go get a leafblower? (0:32:35) Codey: And I’m like, first of all, that’s money. (0:32:36) Kev: It’s money. (0:32:37) Codey: Second of all, I can’t– (0:32:38) Kev: Yeah! (0:32:42) Codey: like, it wouldn’t take me that long to leafblow my yard. (0:32:45) Codey: And then it would be done. (0:32:46) Kev: Yeah (0:32:46) Codey: And then I would have nothing left to leafblow. (0:32:49) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:32:50) Codey: So I also actually have a leafblower already. (0:32:53) Codey: But we– (0:32:55) Kev: Yeah (0:32:56) Codey: Yeah, this is different. (0:32:57) Codey: Like, I can power wash a children’s playground (0:33:01) Codey: as a Stegosaurus, and I can try and get the soccer ball (0:33:03) Codey: to go up the slide and get extra points. (0:33:05) Kev: Yeah, that’s true man, so you know, I live in an apartment so I get even less leaf blower powerwash opportunities or whatever, but (0:33:07) Codey: Like, that’s just– that’s just fun. (0:33:10) Codey: That’s just pure fun. (0:33:21) Kev: The one thing I’ll do on I don’t even do it out of like generous and most times I do out of spite or impatience (0:33:29) Kev: There’ll be shrubs or trees that are just they’re just growing way too long (0:33:33) Kev: Like actually interferes (0:33:35) Kev: Like I need extra clearance for walking or I have more of a hassle for me to go under so I’ll go out and trim him up and oh there we go (0:33:36) Codey: Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. (0:34:02) Kev: I can now walk without having to bend. (0:34:05) Kev: That’s why leaf blower simulator exists for these exact reasons. (0:34:09) Codey: It’s intruding on public space. (0:34:11) Codey: They needed to take care of it and they didn’t. (0:34:35) Kev: Let’s start with updates to games that exist going from old to new. (0:34:40) Kev: We are going to start with Critter crops. (0:34:44) Kev: The witchery born. What a name for an update. (0:34:48) Kev: The witchery born. (0:34:48) Codey: Yeah, that’s a pretty, pretty, like, metal name, yeah, exactly. (0:34:51) Kev: Metal. (0:34:56) Kev: It’s a very cute, cozy art style on critter crops. (0:34:59) Kev: It’s very adorable. I love it. (0:35:01) Kev: called the witch reborn you know it’s the fear street (0:35:03) Codey: Yeah. (0:35:05) Kev: three three four um it. Mm hmm. (0:35:09) Codey: Yeah, so this one adds a new vendor, (0:35:12) Codey: which I’m assuming is the witch, a new grimoire, new UI. (0:35:16) Codey: It adds new turn by turn combat and different customization (0:35:21) Codey: options. (0:35:22) Codey: But I think the biggest thing for y’all, for you and Al, (0:35:25) Codey: and probably for our audience, is complete controller support. (0:35:30) Codey: And they say, quote, this one was a doozy to. (0:35:33) Codey: Implement. Unfortunately, it’s not perfect. (0:35:35) Codey: So we recommend not swapping back and forth between joystick and mouse and keyboard. (0:35:42) Kev: Are there people who do that? (0:35:44) Codey: I thought that’s a choice. (0:35:49) Kev: You know what, that’s fine. Let those people- I think those people deserve it, if that’s what they want to do. (0:35:54) Kev: Let them- we’re introducing updates to make their lives more miserable. (0:36:00) Kev: Freaks! (0:36:04) Kev: I’m kidding. Obviously there’s- I’m sure- I look- I don’t mouse and keyboard at all in general, so… (0:36:10) Codey: Or maybe your controller’s dead. (0:36:11) Codey: Maybe you have ADHD and you forgot to charge it. (0:36:12) Kev: Yeah. (0:36:15) Codey: Can’t relate, but– (0:36:15) Kev: Yeah, look, the obvious use case is you need to type something, you know, a thing pops up, well… (0:36:20) Codey: Oh, true, true. (0:36:22) Kev: Just keyboard away, like, yeah. No, I’m sure it exists, but… (0:36:24) Codey: Multitasking. (0:36:28) Kev: Yeah, alright, but that- that- like, I’m just looking at this big list, um… (0:36:33) Kev: That- that’s a lot of stuff, um, like, holy mackerel, that is- they just had a truckload of updates on their little steam blurb, (0:36:42) Kev: like, revamp combat, that’s huge, holy mackerel. (0:36:46) Codey: » Mm-hmm. (0:36:47) Kev: Um, good for them, um, and controller support, yeah, that’s a big one. (0:36:48) Codey: » Yeah. Go for them. (0:36:51) Codey: So this is technically their 2.0 update. (0:36:53) Codey: So it’s already out, it’s 1999, (0:36:55) Codey: it’s only on Windows. (0:36:57) Codey: So this just adds some new content and updates some things. (0:37:03) Codey: No, sir. I’m not sure if you heard the dog. (0:37:06) Kev: I might want to play this. This game is so cute. I’m just looking at this art style. It’s it’s (0:37:11) Codey: I think when we initially looked at this, (0:37:11) Kev: adorable (0:37:14) Codey: of the art style was not my favorite. (0:37:16) Codey: But it’s growing on me. It’s growing. (0:37:17) Kev: I (0:37:18) Kev: like it and these these (0:37:21) Kev: Everything’s kind of bouncing cute. I look just look at it people to go click on the link in the show notes. It’s good one (0:37:28) Kev: That’s critter. Yeah, it’s 2.0. You’re right (0:37:30) Kev: Um, I buy will likely especially now has controller support. Yeah, this one’s on my list now (0:37:36) Kev: officially oh (0:37:39) Kev: All right, um, what do we have next? (0:37:44) Codey: Next up is Travelers Rest, so they have a new thing called Pet Party, (0:37:54) Codey: which is an expansion, not an expansion, a DLC question. (0:37:58) Kev: I have pet parties at home. It’s called lucky wants to just jump on me and lick my face a lot and man (0:38:04) Codey: So this is the 0.7, 0.1 update, so this is still in early access, still earlier on, and they basically (0:38:11) Codey: we just added a pet. I think he had a cat before, but I’m (0:38:14) Codey: going to have a dog, dog will follow you around and it’ll (0:38:17) Codey: dig things up. And when you see like the little they dig and (0:38:22) Codey: there’s a little symbol, you can also dig and you can get stuff (0:38:25) Codey: out of the ground. It also adds the artifacts table. So you (0:38:31) Codey: might uncover some archaeological things. And then (0:38:35) Codey: you can use the artifacts table to make them into things to (0:38:39) Codey: decorate your home. So I think the dogs are cute. (0:38:44) Codey: They have a lot of options for it. Also, yeah, also in the (0:38:48) Kev: Yeah, this is Saint Bernard, that’s wild. (0:38:53) Codey: building. So you get these in the from a new building with (0:38:57) Codey: new NPCs, they’re called the buildings called the burrow is (0:39:01) Codey: basically an animal shelter. They have like a red panda in (0:39:05) Codey: there. They have some other stuff that currently you cannot (0:39:10) Codey: get, but it it there it would be nice. It would be (0:39:14) Codey: nice to get some of this stuff. Yeah. (0:39:16) Kev: Yeah, I can’t have a breadband in real life, so you know I’d like one virtually (0:39:22) Kev: That they have a dog with a cone on it (0:39:24) Kev: I don’t think I’ve seen that before in a game or you know one of these cottagecore games so props to them for that (0:39:30) Codey: I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in a game. (0:39:33) Kev: You might be right I don’t think I have either (0:39:36) Codey: I can’t believe Sims hasn’t done that yet. (0:39:38) Kev: Yeah, I’m surprised Sims hasn’t done that for people (0:39:45) Codey: I wonder if that’s a choice you can have. (0:39:46) Kev: You (0:39:49) Codey: And then, you know, I wouldn’t be surprised. (0:39:49) Kev: Know (0:39:51) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I don’t I’m never surprised by anything in Sims. I was just like yeah sure I believe they’d do it (0:39:58) Kev: You know I’ve always been a little hard on travelers rest because it’s you know so (0:40:04) Kev: Star Dewey, but man they’ve really made this game robust. They’re supporting it law is strong like good for them (0:40:13) Kev: Yeah, it’s impressive. I you know to the tip of my head (0:40:16) Kev: Cuz that’s a that’s good work (0:40:20) Kev: Is it is it changing my mind? Maybe a little I’m impressed (0:40:23) Codey: Well, it’s not at 1.0 yet, so you’ve got some time. (0:40:27) Kev: It is not one but you know what yeah, that’s right that that is my general bar (0:40:32) Kev: So what you know, but you’ve caught my interest, you know 1.1 drops. Maybe I’ll pick it up. Remember (0:40:40) Kev: All right, you know what is past 1.0 pixel. Yeah is we talked we actually mint (0:40:46) Kev: Didn’t we mention it? Yeah (0:40:47) Codey: Yeah, so it came out last month, and they have now brought out Steam Deck and controller support and key rebinding support. (0:40:59) Codey: And here, Al has a comment. (0:41:05) Codey: Al, not on the pod, but he commented, “Both of these should have been there at launch.” (0:41:10) Codey: Quote. (0:41:10) Kev: You know what, yes, and you know what, I’m going to say that as a blanket statement for any game on a PC. (0:41:11) Codey: Yeah. (0:41:18) Kev: Like, okay, maybe not every, there’s like, I’m sure there’s a 1% like, this game does not need a controller, but if your game could use a controller at launch with controller support, please, please. (0:41:30) Codey: Yeah, so this is what Al said, and I am going to retweet, share, like, subscribe to this comment. (0:41:37) Codey: Quote, “I am not going to stop complaining when games launch without even the most (0:41:41) Codey: basic controller or remapping support. It should be built into games from the very first time (0:41:47) Codey: you do any key mapping in the first place. It is not just for Steam Deck users, it is an (0:41:52) Codey: accessibility feature. Granted, they did add both within two months, but they should have been there (0:42:00) Codey: version.” Yeah. (0:42:00) Kev: yep yep and you know what like I for those early access or betas like I you know I can get it you (0:42:07) Kev: know how to control support but if you do 1.0 you’re crossing that line you you gotta do it just (0:42:08) Codey: Yeah. (0:42:13) Kev: come on you gotta look a little professional right like and I get it can be hard I get it that can (0:42:19) Kev: be worked the what was it the the other critter crops they said that was hard and you know what (0:42:24) Kev: they’re probably right but you just (0:42:27) Codey: - Oh yeah, you’re basically like releasing your game (0:42:31) Codey: or just some people, but like for some of your base. (0:42:38) Codey: But if there are people who are reliant on controller (0:42:42) Codey: support or keyboard remapping to be able to play a game, (0:42:46) Codey: period, then you’re basically limiting, (0:42:51) Codey: those people can’t play your game at launch. (0:42:53) Codey: And so everyone else is gonna be off playing it (0:42:55) Codey: and enjoying it. (0:42:57) Codey: They’re going to be Squidward in his house, looking at SpongeBob and Patrick running around, having fun. (0:42:58) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:43:07) Kev: That meme is so good (0:43:08) Codey: I love that meme. I post that meme all the time. (0:43:11) Kev: So, I mean really, you know like I mean you and me are roughly in the same age (0:43:17) Kev: Group, right? So, you know those first two seasons spongebob that we know when they kind of defined a large part of our brain and life (0:43:25) Kev: and vocabulary on but (0:43:28) Kev: But the memes are very strong from spongebob. That’s such a good one (0:43:28) Codey: - Yeah, they are, they’re endearing. (0:43:34) Kev: Yep, oh (0:43:36) Kev: But okay. Well that all said it is out on pixalia. Um, so good for them for finally getting it out (0:43:44) Kev: You know just a few warning to you know using our (0:43:49) Kev: Influencer power here on all these games that clearly listen to us (0:43:53) Kev: Game devs listening to us put your put your controls report at once (0:43:57) Codey: - I mean, I will, I’ll jump on a high horse. (0:43:59) Codey: I think that like these games are geared (0:44:02) Codey: for neurodivergent folks towards like, (0:44:05) Codey: they are for people who are different. (0:44:06) Kev: Yeah. That’s a good point. (0:44:10) Codey: And so it’s something that like, yeah, (0:44:13) Codey: like not having that out at the jump is like kind of weird (0:44:19) Codey: to exclude basically your biggest fan base. (0:44:22) Codey: It’s like, if they were like, oh, (0:44:24) Kev: Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. (0:44:24) Codey: we’re going to make a new harvest moon. (0:44:27) Codey: game but you can only be a boy and then a month in suddenly you can be a girl and you can be (0:44:33) Codey: a different race and you like so I it’s it’s 2025 y’all we are past this I thought (0:44:42) Kev: Yeah. (0:44:44) Codey: but yeah good on them for getting it out ASAP but uh just to be warned else um please have this out (0:44:52) Codey: like after Trump (0:44:56) Kev: All right, what do we got next? (0:45:00) Codey: Next up, sorry, next up is Lightyear Frontier. (0:45:03) Codey: They have their new ELC slash what it called, (0:45:08) Codey: just content update. (0:45:09) Codey: Yeah, it’s just content update. (0:45:11) Codey: It’s the shipping gear update. (0:45:13) Codey: It just adds a lot ton of new content. (0:45:18) Kev: settings and things. (0:45:18) Codey: So yeah, settings, there’s modular building, (0:45:21) Codey: there’s new tools, there’s new types to cross and mounds. (0:45:26) Codey: There’s mech, there’s health. (0:45:28) Kev: health? What do you mean adding mech health? There’s an inn already? (0:45:30) Codey: And your mech, yeah, it’s true. (0:45:36) Codey: New minerals to the game world, a day length setting, (0:45:40) Codey: a setting where you can auto hide the heads up display, (0:45:43) Codey: which is super dope, adding a quick deposit accelerator (0:45:46) Codey: in storage contract menus, (0:45:48) Codey: 100% love whenever you add quick deposit things. (0:45:52) Codey: You don’t have to click a button a million times. (0:45:55) Codey: Um, I mean, it seems like, uh, it’s, it’s, uh, yeah. (0:46:00) Codey: It’s an update that kind of fixes a lot of the small little, yeah, yeah, um, yeah, they (0:46:04) Kev: they’re literally changing physics in the game that’s there’s several bullets on physics (0:46:12) Codey: also have, uh, some changes to physics and some bug fixes and they have a new roadmap (0:46:17) Codey: and the new roadmap, um, includes, so in development, so we’re still in early access for this game. (0:46:24) Codey: The things that are in development, so they are happening, um, are (0:46:30) Codey: more mech customization, more ruins and lore, biome, building pieces, um, in exploration (0:46:37) Codey: stuff they’re thinking about doing, but, uh, is not quite on the horizon, is mech powered (0:46:44) Codey: resource hauling, so I guess your mech’s carrying resources for you, new hazards and terrain, (0:46:51) Codey: and then some other things for consideration, if I see controller support in here, I’m gonna (0:46:56) Codey: can lose it. Um, multiplayer. (0:46:58) Kev: Hahahaha at least (0:47:00) Codey: Or expanded automation, uh, creative mode, fast travel, mod support. Okay, cool. (0:47:07) Kev: Mm-hmm. Well, I’d say yeah (0:47:11) Kev: Yeah, do you think road map should have at least target tentative dates? (0:47:16) Kev: I feel like they should because I don’t know that that feels like the map part to me, but (0:47:23) Kev: That’s just like a general statement like a month (0:47:26) Kev: You know, because they list all this, but there’s no dates or anything. (0:47:28) Kev: You know, again, I know that work is hard. They’d probably be wrong anyways, but… (0:47:35) Codey: It’s nice to give people some idea because

Tikšanās ar fenomenālu cilvēku - Viju Kilbloku, kura vairāk nekā 30 gadus vada grāmatu izdevniecību "Zvaigzne ABC". Viņa ir izdevusi vairāk nekā 14 000 grāmatu un pārdzīvojusi četras nopietnas ekonomiskās krīzes, katru reizi kļūstot stiprāka. Vija stāsta, kā 90. gados, būdama jauna sieviete, viņa pārmaiņu laikos nebaidījās pateikt "es esmu valsts", mainīt sistēmu un audzēt uzņēmumu no 80 līdz 300+ darbiniekiem, vadoties pēc savas dzīves mantras "kad tu baidies, tu jau esi zaudējis".Saruna ir gan par Vijas biznesa un dzīves pieredzi, gan arī par grāmatām, kas pēdējos gados ietekmējušas viņas dzīvi, un kā katru no tām viņa ir izmantojusi savā dzīvē.

Divas trešdaļas valsts iedzīvotāju vismaz reizi gadā atvēl kādu lielāku vai mazāku naudas summu labdarībai.  Vai Latvijā varam runāt par zināmu ziedošanas kultūru? Varbūt visu nosaka labs mārketings? Par to interesējamies raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Vērtē platformas "Time to Wish" pārstāvis Edgars Zaharovs, "Ziedot.lv" pārstāve Ilze Ošāne un Veterinārārstu biedrības Mazo dzīvnieku veterinārārstu sekcijas pārstāve Lita Konopore. "Latvijā ir ziedošanas kultūra," apstiprina Ilze Ilze Ošāne. "Ziedod.lv" novērots, ka Latvijas sabiedrība ziedo visu gadu, neatkarīgi no sezonas. Ziemassvētku laikā ir vairāk labdarības akciju un tās ir pamanāmākas, bet cilvēki ziedo visa gada laikā. "Ir cilvēki, kas katru mēnesi veic ziedojumus. J ja izskan kādi aicinājumi palīdzēt, cilvēki labprāt atsaucas un ziedojumu apjoms pieaug. Ziedošanas kultūra ir izveidojusies stabila un katru mēnesi cilvēki izvēlas ziedot līdzekļus," gandarīta Ilze Ošāne. Amerikāņu meteorologs un matemātiķis Edvards Lorencs, aprakstot Haosa teoriju, ietvēra tajā koncepciju "Taureņa efekts". Tā būtība - pat niecīgākās izmaiņas sistēmā var izraisīt milzīgas pārmaiņas kādā citā vietā. Šī ideja iedvesmoja Olgu Kazaku pirms 16 gadiem izveidot labdarības biedrību "Taureņa efekts", lai palīdzētu bērniem, kas dzīvo bērnunamos. Laika gaitā organizācijai radušies arī citi darbības. Ierakstā uzklausā biedrības dibinātāju Olgu Kazaku. Savukārt "Time to Wish" ir jauna platforma, kas veidota, lai satiktos tie, kas vēlas ziedot, un tie, kam ir vajadzības. Organizācija ievieto informāciju par lietām, kas ir vajadzīga, un pat norādes, kur to var iegādāties, ja vajadzīga lieta ir specifiska. Naudas sadalījums labdarībai šobrīd veidojas šādi - lielākais apjoms ir ziedojumi Ukrainai, tad palīdzība dzīvniekiem, slimiem bērniem un palīdzība senioriem.  "Ja skatāmies labdarībā top trīs jomas - tie ir smagi slimi bērni, seniori un dzīvnieki," norāda Ilze Ošāne. "Attiecīgi cilvēki, kas izvēlēsies ziedot dzīvnieku aizsardzība, patversmēm un dzīvniekiem, viņi visdrīzāk neziedos bērniem un senioriem, kā arī otrādi. Ja tev ģimenē ienāk bērns, tu noskaņoties, ka vairāk vēlies palīdzēt šai sociāli jutīgai grupai - smagi slimiem bērniem, jo tu no savas perspektīvas skati, ka man ir mans mazulītis un es zinu, cik grūti ir, ja viņš saslimst, apstājas visa dzīve. Tāpat mums visiem ir mammas, tēti, kas nonāk vecumā, un tad uzreiz empātiski jūti, kā tas ir, kad manam tuviniekam vai kaimiņu vecmāmiņai nav savi bērni un mazbērni, kas var palīdzēt viņai trūkumā. Savukārt jaunie cilvēki, kuriem vēl nav bērnu, tie ir ārkārtīgi izteikti dzīvnieku cilvēki, vai arī, ja tev ģimenē ir suns, kaķis, tad tuvojas absolūts arī dzīvnieku patversmes ziedotājs, jo tu zini, kā tas ir, tu izlaid caur savu ģimeni, caur savu perspektīvu." Edgars Zaharovs stāsta par kādu sadarbības veidu, kas palīdz piesaistīt atbalstu labdarbības organizācijā. "Ir vēl viens interesants veids, kas pie mums tiek mazāk izmantots, bet Amerikā ļoti izplatīts, ka sabiedrībā plaši pazīstamas personas, īpaši iInfluenceri kļūst par kādas organizācijas vēstnieku. Viņi uzņemas atbildību par kādu organizāciju. Kāds influenceris kļūst par kādas organizācijas vēstnieku, uzrunā savus sekotājus, saka: dārgie draugi, es draudzējos ar suņu patversmi, ar bērnu organizāciju, palīdzēsim viņiem kopīgiem spēkiem!" stāsta Edgars Zaharovs. "Viņš aizbrauc, palīdz uztaisīt bildes vai vēl kaut ko. Jo bieži vien ir brīnišķīga organizācija, rūpējas par dzīvniekiem, bet viņiem nav viegli izveidot saturu sociāliem medijiem. Viņi nav profesionāļi tajā jomā, viņi ļoti labi rūpējas par dzīvniekiem, bet viņi nemāk veidot interneta kontentu tik labi, ka to māk darīt influenceri."

Stāsta mākslas muzeja "Rīgas birža" vadītāja Daiga Upeniece Vai zini, ka bagātajā un izsmalcinātajā renesanses laika Venēcijā bija skarbi greznību ierobežojoši likumi, t.s. "Le leggi suntuarie"? Šie likumi pārsvarā tika ieviesti, lai mazinātu greznību un izšķēdību apģērbā, mielastos un kāzu rīkošanā. Tad jājautā – kāpēc?  Atbilde nebūt nav sarežģīta – pirmkārt, lai bagātie tirgotāji un amatnieki izskatā un dzīves veidā nepārspētu aristokrātiju; otrkārt – lai regulētu importēto lietu daudzumu, un visbeidzot – lai gūtu peļņu. Tātad politiskais statuss, ekonomika un tikumība, par ko visvairāk uztraucās baznīca, bija šī likuma trīs stūrakmeņi. 15. un 16. gadsimtā dažādās Itālijas pilsētās šie likumi varēja būt dažādi. Piemēram, Sjēnā tie tika saistīti ar iedomības mazināšanu, jo šejienes meistari bija bagāti un slaveni ar izsmalcinātiem modes aksesuāriem un varēja dižoties ar precēm, kādas citiem nebija. Vēl šodien sievietes apavus brauc pirkt tieši uz Sjēnu, un katra no mums lepojas, ja ir Sjēnas zābaki ar perfektu liesti un izcilu dizainu. 1415. gadā pieņemtie Florences likumi ierobežoja sieviešu apģērba greznību, bet atbrīvoja no ierobežojumiem tās donnas, kas bija gatavas pilsētai maksāt 50 florīnus gadā – tātad jebkuru, kas šo greznību spēja atļauties. Vai esat bijušas Florences ādas amatniecības tirgū? Smalkādas cimdi te vēl arvien ir visskaistākie un elegantākie visā Itālijā. Savukārt Dženovā, Milānā un Romā šie likumi vairāk tika saistīti arī ar tikumību. Te aizliedza dāmām dziļus kakla izgriezumus – tātad dekoltē. Pilnīgi saprotams un akceptējams ir tas, ka Vatikānā vēl šodien ir savi pieklājīgas ģērbšanās noteikumi. Īsos šortos te nebūtu vēlams iet. Vieni no bargākajiem noteikumiem 15. un 16. gadsimtā  bija Boloņā. Tie tika pieņemti 1453. gadā. Dāmu apģērbs tika īpaši skarbi ierobežots. Ir saglabājies Boloņas aristokrātes Nikolasas Sanuti (? – 1505) perfektā latīņu valodā uzrakstītais protests, kurā viņa uzsver netaisnību, kas saistīta ar to, ka Boloņas sievietes ir spiestas pieņemt atšķirīgas un pieticīgākas paražas nekā visas pārējās itāļu sievietes. Viņa arī norāda, ka sievietes uzskata par nepanesamu, ja kāds vēlas atņemt viņām sievišķīgās drēbes. Vēsture šo protestu saglabājusi ar nosaukumu "Veltīgā lūgšana par rotājumu atgūšanu". Bet nu pievērsīsimies Venēcijai. Renesanses laika Venēcijas aristokrātiem bija īpaši grūti sabiedrībā saglabāt sava sociālā statusa pārākumu. Bagātie Venēcijas tirgoņi un amatnieki viegli varēja viņus pārspēt. Tāpēc Venēcijas greznību ierobežojošie likumi bija īpaši drastiski, bet no otras puses – tie tika īpaši ļoti radoši apieti. Venēcijā ieplūda arī visvairāk Āzijas luksusa preču, kas varēja apdraudēt vēlmi attīstīt vietējo amatniecību, tādēļ apģērbā skarbi tika ierobežoti no tālām zemēm vestais samts, zīds un brokāts, atļaujot valkāt tikai pašu austos audumus. Tika regulēts, kuras sabiedrības grupas drīkstēja nēsāt konkrētas krāsas (piemēram, purpursarkanā krāsa tradicionāli tika saistīta ar varu). Lielās padomes (Maggior Consiglio) pieņemtie likumi atšķirīgiem sociālajiem slāņiem bija dažādi: aristokrātijai bija aizliegta pārmērīga greznība kāzās, pārspīlēti mielasti; bagātajiem tirgotājiem – zelta izšuvumi, pērles, sabuļādas kažoki, sarkanie purpura toņi, pārmērīgas frizūras vai tērpi; amatniekiem – zīda vai citādi dārgi audumi, rotas, greznas frizūras, piedalīšanās greznos mielastos; visu kārtu sievietēm – vairāk nekā viens rotu komplekts vienlaikus; atklāti dekoltē; tika noteikti ierobežojumi pārspīlētām frizūrām, krāsotiem matiem un pārmērīgai kosmētikai, jo tās tika uzskatītas par izšķērdīgām vai amorālām. Visai sabiedrībai kopēji bija aizliegts izvadot aizgājējus bērēs izmantot greznus zārkus un dārgus apģērbus, kā arī organizēt pārspīlētas bēru procesijas. Savukārt viesībās tika limitēts ēdienu daudzums, veids un galda piederumu krāšņums. Greznība tika ierobežota arī kāzu tērpos, kāzu dāvanās, un viesībās — piemēram, tika noteikts maksimālais atļautais viesu skaits. Kas draudēja, to visu neievērojot? Tika noteikti naudas sodi, varēja tikt piemērota rotu vai apģērba konfiskācija, publisks kauninājums vai uzraudzība. Atkārtotu pārkāpumu gadījumā – ierobežojumi sabiedriskās dzīves aktivitātēs. Kā venēcieši apgāja greznības likumus? Izplatījās t.s. slēptā greznība – dārga odere no smalka auduma tika iešūta apģērba iekšpusē; kažoks tika izvērsts otrādi – ar pieticīgu oderi ārpusē; mājas viesībās, kur varēja svešām acīm aizvērt durvis, nēsāja daudz greznāku apģērbu.  Ja nedrīkstēja lietot krāsainu kosmētiku, tad sejas tika balinātas ar svinu, lai iegūtu t.s. "dižciltīgo" gaišo ādu. Nekādas kosmētikas – bet āda skaisti bāla. Sekas šai toksiskajai idejai parādījās  vēlāk. Samts tika sajaukts ar vilnu, lai formāli atbilstu noteikumiem, bet pēc izskata šķistu greznāks. Audumos, lai panāktu dārguma efektu, tika izmantotas īpašas optiskas ilūzijas – piemēram, gaismas lūzums. Ja rotas lietas nebija atļauts pirkt, tad tās formāli "aizņēmās" no radinieces vai draudzenes, kas bija augstākā sociālā slānī. Piemēram, tirgotāju sievas aizņēmās patriciešu rotas, jo likumi regulēja īpašumtiesības, nevis lietošanu. Toties viss tika atļauts karnevālu laikā. Krāšņie šodienas Venēcijas karnevāli vēl arvien ir tāla atblāzma no kādreiz bijušā...

Lost Cosmonauts Conspiracy Some believe the moon landing in 1969 was real. Some believe it was a hoax set up to bankrupt the Soviet Union. But the Soviets had beat America in every milestone in the space race until that point. Apparently they were making these advances off of the trial and error, and BLOOD…of their own space programs bravest. They scrubbed stories, airbrushed people out of photographs, and completely wiped records when things went poorly. And we never knew about it until 1991!

Catherine Barry from Raheny special Laika Party themed parade that is going to be part of the Raheny parade on Sunday afternoon

Vai tiesa, ka stresu dažkārt veicina ne tikai mūsu psiholoģiskie pārdzīvojumi, bet arī fizioloģiskas izmaiņas organismā? Kur rodas stresa hormoni – kortizols un adrenalīns – un kas notiek, ja tie sāk pārņemt mūsu organismu nekontrolēti? Par to studijā iztaujāsim Rīgas Austrumu klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas Endokrinoloģijas nodaļas vadītāju, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes asociēto profesori Ilzi Konrādi. * Zinātnes ziņas Megalodona izmēri varētu būt bijuši lielāki, nekā līdz šim pieņemts. Pirms dažiem gadiem uz ekrāniem bija skatāma asa sižeta filma par megalodonu – gigantisku haizivi. Varbūt toreiz kādi skatītāji domāja, vai tas ir izdomājums, vai arī šāds radījums okeānos patiešām kādreiz dzīvojis. Un atbilde ir – jā. Megalodons ir reāla suga, kas kādreiz mitusi, un tādas vietnes kā “Live Science” un “Science Daily” tai veltījušas plašākus izklāstus. Zinātnieki visai ilgi uzskatījuši, ka megalodoni izskatījās kā lielas baltās haizivis, taču jaunākais pētījums liecina, ka megalodons bijis vairāk nekā 24 metrus garš dzīvnieks, un tas ir vairāk nekā uzrādījuši līdzšinējie aprēķini. Salīdzinājumam – baltās haizivs mātītes ķermeņa garums var būt aptuveni pieci metri. Tā ka redzams atšķirība ir visai liela – pieci metri vai 24 metri.  Bet milzenis megalodons mūsdienās sastopams vairs nav, tas ir dzīvojis jūrās laika nogrieznī pirms 20 miljoniem gadu līdz 3,6 miljoniem gadu. Pilnīgi megalodonu skeleti atrasti nekad nav, tāpēc mūsu zināšanas balstās un arī avoti, no kuriem zinātnieki var gūt datus, nāk no fosilijām - zvīņu un zobu fosilijām. Lai iegūtu jaunākos datus par megalodona izmēru, zinātnieki no Kalifornijas un Riversaidas universitātes, kā arī citām pasaules vietām megalodonu fosilijas salīdzinājuši ar vairāk nekā 150 dzīvām un izmirušām haizivju sugām, iegūstot pēc iespējas precīzāku megalodonu galvas, ķermeņa un astes proporciju. Vēl pētnieki atklājuši, ka megalodons varētu būt dzemdējis dzīvus mazuļus, un arī to garums varētu būt bijis līdz pat četriem metriem. Tas, par ko pētnieku vidū nav vienprātības, – kādai mūsdienu sugai megalodons ir līdzinājies. Kā piemēru jau minējām balto haizivi, tomēr ir zinātnieki, pēc kuru domām, megalodona ķermenis pēc formas daudz tuvāks bijis citronhaizivij vai pat lielam valim.  Pirmais Mēness aptumsums šogad – 14. martā. Bet par kādu citu dabas brīnumu. Piektdien, 14. martā, gaidāms šī gada pirmais Mēness aptumsums, un par to vietnē “Scientific American”. Precīzāk izsakoties, aptumsums būs 13. marta naktī un 14. marta agrās rīta stundās, un tas būs pilns Mēness aptumsums pēc trīs gadu pārtraukuma. Tiesa gan, mūsu platuma grādos šis notikums ies secen. Pilnu Mēness aptumsumu varēs vērot tikai paši Eiropas rietumi – Spānija, Īrija un Lielbritānija. Toties viskrāšņāko un pilnāko aptumsumu varēs skatīt tie, kuri dzīvo Ziemeļamerikā un Dienvidamerikā. Ja klausāties Latvijas Radio, būdami šajās vietās, tad ziniet, ka jums tāda iespēja ir, un to patiešām nevajag laist garām. Bet Latvijā neskumstiet, jo naktī no 7. uz 8. septembri eiropieši redzēs Mēness aptumsumu, un tad to neredzēs Amerika.  Ar ko Mēness aptumsums ir interesants? Atšķirībā no strauja Saules aptumsuma, Mēness aptumsums ir lēns un majestātisks, un, lai to redzētu, nav nepieciešans īpašs aprīkojums vai optisks palīglīdzeklis.  Mēness, Saule, Zeme – šo triju ķermeņu attiecības nosaka Mēness aptumsuma veidošanos, detalizētāk, kā tas notiek, aprakstīts vietnē, bet tur arī piedāvāts tāds vienkāršots skaidrojums. Proti, iedomājieties, ka jūs atrodaties uz Mēness, skatoties uz Zemi un Sauli. No šī skatupunkta šķiet, ka Zeme lēnām virzās Saules priekšā. Sākumā jūs redzat, ka Zeme pavisam nedaudz bloķē Sauli, un gaismas daudzums, kas pie Jums nonāk, samazinās, bet mazliet. Laika gaitā Zeme bloķē Sauli arvien vairāk, un apgaismojums vēl vairāk samazinās. Pēc aptuveni stundas Zeme pilnībā nobloķē Sauli, Jūs atrodaties Zemes ēnā, un visapkārt ir tumšs. Attiecīgi, kad Zeme atkal atklāj Saules seju, aptumsums ir beidzies. Tik tālu par Mēness skatupunktu, bet Mēness aptumsumu mēs vērojam no Zemes, un te nākamais interesantais fakts. Brīdī, kad Saule attiecībā pret Mēnesi ir nobloķēta, mēs uz Zemes redzam nevis vienkārši tumšu, blāvu Mēness disku, bet Mēness seja kļūst “asiņaina”, un to arī sauc par “asiņaino Mēnesi”. Skaidrojumam palīdz fizika. Mēness aptumsuma laikā Saule izgaismo Zemi, tāpēc visa Saules gaisma, kas krīt uz Mēness virsmu, iziet cauri mūsu atmosfēras biezākajai daļai, iekrāsojot Mēnesi sārtā mirdzumā. Izskatās diezgan biedējoši, bet skaisti.  "Zinātnieki netiks apklusināti": tūkstošiem cilvēku protestē pret Donalda Trampa administrācijas politiku. Tūkstošiem pētnieku ASV pilsētās un arī Eiropā mītiņos ar saukli “Stand Up for Science”(jeb “Iestājieties par zinātni”) pauž protestu ASV prezidenta Donalda Trampa administrācijas darbībām, lai samazinātu zinātnisko darbaspēku un izdevumus pētniecībai.  Kopš stāšanās amatā janvārī Tramps un viņa komanda ir atlaiduši un dažos gadījumos mēģinājuši pieņemt atpakaļ darbā tūkstošiem darbinieku ASV zinātnes aģentūrās, kuru darbs bija saistīts ar kodoldrošību, putnu gripas uzraudzību, ekstrēmu laikapstākļu prognozēšanu un citiem jautājumiem. Administrācija ir arī mēģinājusi iesaldēt pētniecības dotācijas zinātnes finansēšanas aģentūrās, tostarp ASV Nacionālajā zinātnes fondā.  Vieni paši mītiņi gan izmaiņas neietekmēs, to jau pierādījuši protesti pagātnē, piemēram, 2017. gadā, kad pētnieki protestēja Trampa pirmā prezidentūras termiņa laikā. Taču svarīgi ir neklusēt, jo, kā norādījusi neirozinātniece Nensija Kanvišere: “Jūs nevarat vienkārši atlaist visus un pēc tam viņus atkal pieņemt darbā, kad tie ir nepieciešami. Zinātnieku paaudze būs zaudēta.” Par šī brīža protestiem plašāk vietnē “Nature”. Vai Latvijā ir retzemju metāli?  Visbeidzot, ja vēl par ģeopolitiku un zinātni, tad aicinām pašmāju portālā “Delfi” iepazīties ar rakstu par retzemju metāliem. Tieši Donalda Trampa un Ukrainas prezidenta Volodimira Zelenska iespējamais darījums par retzemju metāliem pēdējā laikā ir daudz figurējis ziņu virsrakstos, un “Delfu” rakstā labu skaidrojumu sniedzis ģeologs, Latvijas Universitātes asociētais profesors Ģirts Stinkulis. Viņš norāda, ka ne viss, kas ir reti sastopams, automātiski ir retzemju elementi. Tie ir pavisam konkrēti 17 elementi no Mendeļejeva periodiskās tabulas apakšējās daļas, piemēram, skandijs, itrijs, lantāns un citi, tiem ir augsta vērtība un praktiskais pielietojums, piemēram, elektronikā un militārajā jomā. Ukrainā tie ir pieejami, Latvijā par šo 17 elementu klātbūtni pierādījumu nav, bet mums ir ļoti daudz citu vērtīgu dabas resursu, piemēram, dzelzrūda. Par tās un citu atradņu nozīmi plašāk rakstā.

ParaNorman's unique approach to horror allows it to explore serious societal issues through animation, and creatively blends animated horror with heartfelt themes of acceptance and understanding. Laika Studios have never been one to follow the leader, and while other studios were focusing on CG animation, Laika removed it's CG department purely for stop-motion. Developing groundbreaking techniques first used on Coraline, enhanced further for ParaNorman, including colour 3D printing, to create over 31,000 props. ParaNorman, which also features the first openly gay character in an American animated film, emphasizes the importance of communication and empathy in overcoming fear and prejudice. This is a movie that doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of the past, with historical references shaping ParaNorman's story, particularly the Salem witch trialsLike Norman's Grandma says when Norman tells her the zombie eats brains… “he's going to ruin his dinner. I'm sure if they just bothered to sit down and talk it through, it would be a different story”.I would love to hear your thoughts on ParaNorman !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Sarah Easter Collins is an all-round creative. Alongside being a painter, she's just published her debut, 'Things Don't Break on their Own'. It tells the story of Willa, whose life shattered into tiny pieces when her sister disappeared on the way to school, and she has never been able to put them back together again. Willa sees Laika everywhere: on buses, at parties, in busy streets. It's been twenty-five years, and the only thing that has kept her going is her belief that her sister is alive, somewhere. But when a dinner party conversation about childhood memories spirals out of control, a shattering revelation from one of the guests forces Willa to rethink everything she thought she knew about her past. It was inspired by many things - travelling around Africa and Thailand, teaching in the South West of England, the first dog in space, and also an obnoxious dinner party guest. We discuss bringing those themes together, also the art of showing without telling, and how her painting inspires her writing... and vice versa.You can hear how she knew the beats of a genreless novel, why she wakes up shockingly early, and how poetry helps her focus on prose.Get a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSupport the show:patreon.com/writersroutinehttps://ko-fi.com/writersroutinewritersroutine.com@writerspod Hosted on Acast.
