Stāsta Jāzepa Vītola Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmijas profesore, JVLMA Muzikoloģijas katedras Etnomuzikoloģijas klases vadītāja, Zinātniski pētnieciskā centra vadošā pētniece Anda Beitāne; raidījuma producente – Maruta Rubeze Laikā, kad notiek diskusijas par dažādu pieminekļu nojaukšanu, pārvietošanu vai pārzāģēšanu, šķiet pamācoši atcerēties Johana Gotfrīda Herdera (Johann Gottfried Herder, 1744-1803, vācu dzejnieks, teologs, filozofs, cita starpā arī jēdziena "tautasdziesma" – Volkslied – radītājs) pieminekļa stāstu, ko pirms kāda laika publicējām grāmatā, tulkojot tās nosaukumu no angļu valodas: "Pieredze un ekspektācijas: "Nākotne no pagātnes" mūzikas radīšanā", kurā iekļauti dažādu valstu etnomuzikologu raksti. Viena no šīs grāmatas tēmām bija saistīta ar Herdera vārdu. Izrādās, ka citzemju tradicionālās mūzikas pētniekiem Rīga visupirms asociējas tieši ar Johanu Gotfrīdu Herderu, kurš šeit dzīvoja un strādāja laikā no 1764. līdz 1769. gadam. Herdera krūšutēls, visnotaļ nemanāms un tūristu pūļu neieskauts, stāv Herdera laukumā blakus Rīgas Domam. Tas izgatavots Minhenē, kopējot Johana Nepomuka Šallera (Johann Nepomuk Schaller) 1850. gadā darinātās pilna auguma skulptūras krūšutēla daļu, kas atrodas Svēto Pētera un Pāvila baznīcas priekšā Veimārā (Asmuß, 1871, 78; Spārītis, 2005, 103). Rīgas krūšutēla postamentu veidoja arhitekts Heinrihs Karls Šēls (Heinrich Karl Scheel), un tas bija izgatavots no tolaik populārā čuguna ar piemiņas uzrakstiem visās pusēs. Atsaucoties uz Ojāru Spārīti, iniciatīva uzcelt Herderam veltītu pieminekli Rīgā radās pēc Rīgas vaļņu nojaukšanas 1863. gadā un Rīgas Doma rekonstrukcijas darbu uzsākšanas. Pieminekļa atrašanās vieta tika izvēlēta, balstoties uz aptuvenu informāciju par to, ka Herders varētu būt dzīvojis vienā no mājām, kas robežojās ar laukumu. Pieminekļa svinīgā atklāšana notika simboliskajā 1864. gada 25. augustā, tieši 100 gadus pēc dienas, kad Herders ieradās Rīgā (Spārītis, 2005, 102–103). Pārdzīvojis evakuāciju Pirmā pasaules kara laikā un Otro pasaules karu, Herdera piemineklis tika demontēts 20. gadsimta 50. gadu vidū kopā ar citiem pieminekļiem, kas nepatika okupācijas režīmam. Postaments tika izkausēts, bet krūšutēlu izglāba cilvēki, kuri strādāja Rīgas Valsts vēstures muzejā, ko šodien pazīstam kā Rīgas vēstures un kuģniecības muzeju, un kas joprojām atrodas blakus piemineklim Herdera laukumā. Vēlāk tas tika pārvietots uz Rīgas Ārzemju mākslas muzeju (Vilciņa 2005). 1959. gadā tika plānota Vācijas Demokrātiskās Republikas līderu – Valtera Ulbrihta (Walter Ulbricht) un Oto Grotevola (Otto Grotewohl) – vizīte Padomju Savienībā. Ziņas par šīs delegācijas otro dienu, kas tika pavadīta Rīgā, kur apsveikuma uzrunu teica PSRS kompartijas vadītājs Ņikita Hruščovs, atrodamas laikraksta "Neues Deutschland" 1959. gada 11. jūnija numura pirmajā lappusē ("Stern un Pogrombka", 1959). Viesiem tika gatavota īpaša programma, kuras ietvaros tika nolemts katram gadījumam steigšus atjaunot Herdera krūšutēlu tā sākotnējā vietā, jo viesi varētu uzzināt, ka viņu nacionāli nozīmīgai personībai šeit bijis piemineklis, ko viņi, iespējams, varētu vēlēties aplūkot. Tā raksta šo notikumu lieciniece Rita Vilciņa, piebilstot, ka tas bija liels trieciens tiem, kuri šo pieminekli tikai pirms dažiem gadiem bija noņēmuši, un atbildīgajai personai Kultūras ministrijas Muzeju, mākslas un pieminekļu aizsardzības pārvaldē neatlika nekas cits, kā pēkšņi saslimt. Vilciņai, kura tikko bija pabeigusi vēstures un filozofijas studijas Latvijas Universitātē un sākusi strādāt šajā pārvaldē, tika uzticēts rūpēties par pieminekļa restaurāciju (Vilciņa, 2005). Kā viņa raksta savās atmiņās, ministrijā bija zināms, ka Herdera krūšutēls nav iznīcināts, citādi to nebūtu iespējams atjaunot tik īsā laikā. Problemātiska bija postamenta atjaunošana. Laika trūkuma dēļ nebija iespējams izgatavot precīzu 1864. gada oriģināla kopiju. Vilciņa atceras kultūras ministra vietnieka teikto: "Par uzraksta valodu viss skaidrs – tikai latviešu valodā. Kāpēc rakstīt vāciski, ja nav uzraksta krievu valodā?" (Vilciņa 2005, 123). Tādējādi uz jaunā granīta postamenta bija un ir lasāms pavisam īsi: "Johans Gotfrīds Herders 1744–1803". Šo stāstu noslēgšu ar brīnišķu Ritas Vilciņas citātu: "Postamenta izkalšana notika Rīgas uzņēmumā "Granīts", kur vajadzēja nogādāt arī krūšutēlu. Herdera galvu kara laikā bija skāruši vairāki šāvieni. Likvidēt bojājumus un piestiprināt postamentam krūšutēlu arī bija "Granīta" meistaru uzdevums. Lai pārvestu pieminekļa krūšutēlu no Aizrobežu mākslas muzeja uz darbnīcu, man iedeva ministra personīgo automašīnu "Volga". Kad piebraucu pie Rīgas pils, kur atradās muzejs, pa kāpnēm pretī ar Herderu rokās jau nāca direktora vietnieks zinātniskajā darbā Miķelis Ivanovs. Tālāk es ar Herderu rokās braucu uz darbnīcu. Karā cirstās brūces tika sadziedētas, postaments izgatavots un Johans Gotfrīds Herders atkal stāvēja savā vēsturiskajā vietā Rīgā. Nebija nedz svinīgas atklāšanas ar ziediem un mūziku, nedz informācijas presē. Piemineklis klusējot tika noņemts, klusējot – uzlikts."

Stāsta Latvijas Radio informācijas tehnoloģiju (IT) resursu apkalpošanas inženieris Edgars Jackevičs Jau no pirmsākumiem radio tika atskaņoti skaņuplašu ieraksti, bet 1936. gadā Radiofona rīcībā nonāca aparatūra, ar kuras palīdzību reportāžas un skaņu ierakstīja vaska platēs. Taču plates izmantošanas laiks bija ļoti īss, to varēja lietot aptuveni 10-12 reizes, līdz tā nodila. 20. gadsimta 40. gados parādījās jauna tehnika – skaņu filmu jeb tonfilmu iekārtas un magnetofoni. Skaņu filmu iekārtas bija kaut kas unikāls! Tajās tika izmantotas 35 mm kinofilmas, kurām nebija attēla, bet katrā filmas pusē bija pa ieskaņotam skaņu celiņam.  Līdz ar to tajās bija divi skaņdarbi, kas bija atskaņojami katrs no sava tonfilmas gala. Tā kā tonfilmu aparāti nebija diez cik ērti, tos 1952. gadā pārstāja izmantot. Savukārt magnetofonu laiks tikai tā pa īstam iesākās. Tolaik lentes atskaņošanas ātrums bija 76,2 cm sekundē, bet, sākot ar 1958. gadu, sāka pāriet uz 38,1 cm sekundē ātrumu. 19. ātrums parādījās ap 1972. gadu. Te gan jāpiezīmē, ka 38. ātrums palika dominējošs līdz pat magnetofonu ēras beigām 90. gadu beigās. Magnetofoni veica gan mono (viena celiņa), gan stereo (divu celiņu) ierakstus. Latvijas Radio 1. studijā tika izmantots 16 kanālu magnetofons ar divu collu platuma lenti. Savukārt tautā populārās audiokasetes tika izmantotas tikai korespondentu portatīvajos magnetofonos. 80. gadu beigās un 90. sākumā Radionamā skaņu ierakstiem un atskaņošanai sāka ienākt jaunās ciparu tehnoloģijas. Iesākumā tie bija kompaktdisku atskaņotāji un DAT magnetofoni. Kompaktdiskam bija zināma līdzība ar platēm, jo no tiem varēja atskaņot jau gatavus ierakstus, bet savus ierakstīt nevarēja. Turpretī DAT magnetofons nodrošināja visas funkcijas augstā kvalitātē, taču ikdienas lietošanā izrādījās neizdevīgs un arī diezgan kaprīzs savas sarežģītās uzbūves dēļ. Tas pēc uzbūves līdzīgs miniatūram videomagnetofonam un ierakstu DAT kasetē nevar ātri un efektīvi samontēt. 90. gadu vidū parādījās jauns izgudrojums: minidisks. No sākuma šķita, ka šis formāts varētu saglabāties uz ilgu laiku. Šajos diskos varēja rakstīt un pārrakstīt neskaitāmas reizes. Tas bija lietojams gan stacionārās, gan portatīvās ierīcēs. Un pats galvenais – minidisku iekārtas atļāva ierakstu montāžu bez papildus aparatūras. Īsā laikā tas ieviesās gan ierakstu, gan raidījumu studijās. Vienīgais trūkums bija skaņas kvalitāte. Cilvēki ar smalkāku dzirdi sajuta atšķirību starp minidiska un kompaktdiska vai DAT skanējumu. Iemesls bija tāds, ka šajos diskos tika izmantota datu kompresija ar zudumiem – kaut kas līdzīgs šodien plaši pazīstamajam mp3. Vēlāk atklājās, ka minidiski ir ļoti jutīgi pret putekļiem, kas varēja izpausties pašos nepiemērotākajos brīžos. Piemēram, tiek rediģēts ieraksts un pārrakstīts diska satura rādītājs, un, ja šajā brīdī gadās misēklis un satura celiņš neierakstās, tiek zaudēta pieeja visam diskā esošajam! Paralēli minidiskam Radionamā ienāca arī vienreiz ierakstāmie kompaktdiski, jeb CD-R. Iesākumā to ierakstīšana bija diezgan piņķerīga un nervus kutinoša, jo ieraksta laikā pieļautās kļūdas nevarēja labot, bet tukšie diski bija dārgi un grūti pieejami. Ierakstošā ierīce bija līdzīga parastajam kompaktdisku atskaņotājam un ieraksts notika reālajā laikā. Ar laiku ieraksta process pārcēlās uz datoriem un te nu maisam gals bija vaļā. Programmu pirms rakstīšanas varēja apstrādāt datorā, visu sagatavot un ieprogrammēt rakstīšanas procesu, un tad ātri ierakstīt. “Ātri” jau nozīmēja, ka vairs nav jāgaida stunda, lai iegūtu vienu stundu garu ierakstu. Viss notika paātrināti dažu minūšu laikā. Tāds pat ieguvums parādījās pie audiomateriālu kopēšanas no kompaktdiskiem – dažas minūtes, un diska saturs ir datorā! Lielas cerības tika liktas uz audiomateriālu arhivēšanas iespējām ierakstāmajos kompaktdiskos. Te nu jāsaka, ka rezultāti ir stipri atkarīgi no disku uzglabāšanas apstākļiem, ierakstošās aparatūras un konkrētā diska ražotāja. Gadījās, ka ierakstītais disks niķojas jau tūlīt pēc ierakstīšanas, bet citi teicami darbojas un nav novecojuši pat pēc 30 gadiem. Teorētiski tika lēsts, ka tie varētu glabāties pat 100 gadus. Radio arhīvā glabājas magnetofona lentes pat no pagājušā gadsimta 40. gadiem, tātad aptuveni 80 gadus, bet, laikam ejot, lentes fiziski degradējas un ieraksta kvalitāte pasliktinās. Beigu beigās esam nonākuši līdz loģiskam audioierakstu nesēju attīstības iespējamam galam, jo skaņas industrija ir pārgājusi uz ciparu formātu. Tātad – tie vienkārši ir dati. Praktiski visas darbības ar tiem risinās ar datoru palīdzību. Rodas jautājums: kāpēc audioierakstus nerakstīt uzreiz datorā, tur apstrādāt, glabāt un no turienes arī atskaņot... Jau vairāk nekā ceturtdaļgadsimtu Latvijas Radio par audiomateriālu fizisku saglabāšanu atbild IT speciālisti, bet tas jau ir cits stāsts.

Kā savas attiecības ar mākslīgo intelektu definējuši Mākslas akadēmijas studenti un pedagogi, kuri tam pievērš uzmanību izstādē ”Laika rīki”, domājot gan par morāli ētisko jautājumu, gan radošajām iespējām. Vēl līdz 21. novembrim Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas ēkā Kronvalda bulvārī 4, bijušajā Bioloģijas fakultātes ēkā, aplūkojama LMA specialitātes “Kustība. Attēls. Skaņa” studentu darbi izstādē “Laika rīki”. Tā atspoguļo procesus un darba rezultātus, strādājot ar mākslīgā intelekta rīkiem. Šie darbi ir tikai iegansts sarunai ar Mākslas akadēmijas profesoru Andri Teikmani, LMA Profesionālās doktora studiju programmas direktoru, un izstādes kuratori Līgu Vēliņu, lai pajautātu arī, cik gatavas ir augstskolas mākslīgā intelekta rīkiem, kādas radošas iespējas tie paver un kur velkamas morāles robežas. Viedokli izsaka jaunās mākslinieces Krista Kristiāna Mežavilka, Betija Jakaite un Ance Dālmane, kuras ir Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas nodaļas „Kustība. Attēls. Skaņa”, 3. kursa bakalaura studentes. Izstāde apkopo Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas studentu animācijas, instalācijas un vizuālos eksperimentus, kā arī mākslīgā intelekta modeļu trenēšanas un citu procesu aizkadrus, kas tapuši laikā no 2022. līdz 2025. gadam. Šis periods iezīmē jaunas kultūras paradigmas maiņu — mākslīgais intelekts ir kļuvis par ikdienā lietotu rīku, radošā procesa līdzautoru un labākas dzīves apsolījumu. Tas nereti tiek uzskatīts kā rīcībspējas apveltīts antagonists, kas izaicina un apdraud cilvēka vērtības, tostarp radošajās sfērās. Izstādē aplūkojami ne tikai studiju darbi, kuros mākslīgais intelekts izmantots pragmatiski kā tehnoloģisks instruments, bet arī mākslinieku kritiski komentāri, kas pārskata transhumāno ideju dualitāti un ticību cilvēka progresam caur tehnoloģiju attīstību kā divējādu, mītiem apvītu procesu.

Space dog Laika and Sputnik II were the green light for the Cold War missile and space races to accelerate at warp speed. With the Russians out in front, the Americans were hellbent on catching up, using Nazi war-criminal know-how as they kicked around making the moon into a military base to launch nukes at the Commies. Meanwhile, as people everywhere were seeing UFOs and worrying about subliminal brainwashing, Sydney and Melbourne had some very specific problems – surviving freak weather and enduring the loved-up antics of Liz Taylor and Mike Todd.It's easy to get a free trial that will give you access to ad-free, early and bonus episodes.

The world would never be the same after the Russians launched Sputnik II into space and its cosmonaut canine Laika became the first animal to orbit the Earth. Aussies would have to keep their eyes on the skies during an extraordinary week of heavenly happenings, from freak weather and flying saucers to planes in peril and swooping Hollywood stars. One big question: would the Commies really nuke the moon during a total lunar eclipse to mark the 40th anniversary of the Russian Revolution?It's easy to get a free trial that will give you access to ad-free, early and bonus episodes.

As the space race heated up, this week in 1957, Laika the stray dog was sent to space aboard Sputnik 2.

Laika, la perrita callejera de Moscú, se convirtió en el primer ser vivo en orbitar la Tierra a bordo del Sputnik 2 en 1957. Su viaje marcó un hito en la carrera espacial, mostrando al mundo que la vida podía sobrevivir fuera de nuestro planeta, aunque a un altísimo coste. El episodio explora su entrenamiento, la misión y el contexto político de la Guerra Fría. También revela qué ocurrió realmente con Laika y cómo cambió la ética en la exploración espacial.

Old Spook Lane Creepy Chats is back with its 4th year covering spooky stop motion animated films. Arun and Patricia start off with the 2009 Laika animated film Coraline based on the book by Neil Gaiman. A young teenage girl named Coraline Jones and her parents move into a new house in Oregon. Her parents are catalog writers for plants, flowers, and gardening and are too busy to give Coraline any attention. When she discovers a hidden door by the living room, she discovers another world where she meets with doppelgangers of her parents, neighbors, and home where everything is colorful, bright, and receiving attention and love from her Other Mother and Other Father. But then a cat tells her that things are not what they seem and Coraline doesn't listen to him at first, but notices things go wrong when her parents go missing.When the film premiered in theaters, it was critically and commercially successful making $185 million dollars out of a $60 million dollar budget praising the story, characters, atmosphere, and animation. It was the film that put Laika on the map for releasing high quality stop motion animated films. How well does it hold up over 15 years later?

Roxy Striar & John Humphrey react to Coraline (2009), the acclaimed stop-motion dark fantasy from Laika Studios and director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach). Based on the Neil Gaiman novel, this visually stunning and hauntingly imaginative film tells the story of Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning – War of the Worlds, The Twilight Saga), a curious young girl who discovers a secret door in her new home that leads to an eerie “Other World” — one that seems perfect at first… until its sinister truth is revealed. The film also stars Teri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) as both Mel Jones and the chilling Other Mother, Ian McShane (Deadwood, John Wick) as the flamboyant Mr. Bobinsky, Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous) and Dawn French (The Vicar of Dibley) as the eccentric retired actresses Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, and Keith David (The Thing, Gargoyles) as the mysterious Cat. Iconic and highly searched moments include the discovery of the tunnel to the Other World, Coraline's button-eyed family reveal, the spider-like final showdown with the Other Mother, and the film's mesmerizing stop-motion visuals that still captivate audiences today. A mix of gothic whimsy and childhood dread, Coraline remains a modern animated masterpiece — blending craftsmanship, atmosphere, and a chilling message about appreciation, courage, and identity.

One day, the writer and professor Kurt Caswell received a cryptic mission from an editor. Laika, the Russian dog who would become the first living creature sent into orbit, had a window in her spacecraft. "I want you to think on this," the editor said, "and write a book about it." The resulting book, Laika's Window, won a Foreword Indie Silver Medal for science writing. Kurt's connection with Intrepid Times began with the story, Driving the Dalton Highway, a fascinating meditation on the experience of driving and being driven, which we discuss in the podcast. We also talk about Kurt's work as a professor of creative writing at Texas Tech University, and his life in travel and writing across Iceland, Russia, the United States, and far beyond. Kurt's most recent book is Iceland Summer: Travels along the Ring Road (2023), the first in a series about travel on islands.

Ilzes Jansones jaunākais romāns "Pasaules troksnis" ir veltījums Latvijas Universitātes Teoloģijas fakultātei. Romānā patiesi zīmēti topošo teologu, un viņu pasniedzēju portreti, taču drīzāk šis stāsts ir par cilvēka ceļu pie ticības, arī maldu ceļiem. Romānā ļoti smalki attainota Latvijas sabiedrība, rādot arī cik daudz un neredzamām stīgām pasauli caurauž doma par Visvarenā klātbūtni. Rakstnieces, teoloģes un literatūrkritiķes Ilzes Jansones romānu pamatā visbiežāk ir kāda dziļi personiska pieredze. Literatūrā viņa ienāca 2010. gadā ar romānu "Insomnia", kuru vietne literatura.lv raksturo kā "pirmais mūsdienu latviešu romāns, kas veltīts lesbiešu identitātei". Sekoja stāstu krājums "“Umurkumurs jeb Ardievas feminismam", kurā ikdienas dzīve savijās ar Dieva piedzīvošanu, romānā "Laika rēķins", šķetinot trimdas autores Ilzes Šķipsnas dzīvi un valodu, autore pieskaras rakstnieka būšanai. Jaunākā Ilzes Jansones romāna titullapā ir veltījums: “Latvijas Universitātes Teoloģijas fakultātes piemiņai”. Par jaunāko Ilzes Jansones romānu "Pasaules troksnis" saruna raidījumā Augstāk par zemi. Romānā "Pasaules troksnis" savijušies vairāki, divdesmit piecu gadu laikā topošo teologu vidē vēroti cilvēkstāsti un notikumi. Romānā smalki attainota Latvijas sabiedrība, rādot arī cik daudz un neredzamām stīgām pasauli caurauž doma par Visvarenā klātbūtni. Ilzei Jansonei kā rakstniecei piemīt šāda spēja - dokumentēt un izaicināt sarunai par tēmām, par kurām sabiedrībā ir izvēlējusies klusēt vai sarunāties neprot.

Movies like “The Goonies,” “Animal House” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” are among the most famous of those filmed in Oregon, and they're points of pride for Oregon film buffs. Television shows like “Grimm” and “Portlandia” and animation studios like Laika and ShadowMachine burnish the state’s production portfolio.   While newer projects continue to shoot in Oregon, the industry was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, a lengthy writers and actors strike and an industry-wide shift to overseas production. Tim Williams is the executive director of Oregon Film, a semi-independent state agency that promotes movie and TV production in Oregon. He joins us to talk about how the industry is faring in Oregon.

We're wrapping up our series on Laika by ranking their films!

We're hunting for cryptids in this latest episode on Laika's most recent release, Missing Link!

Send us a Question!REBROADCAST MOVIE DISCUSSION: In this rebroadcast episode (originally released September 28th, 2021), Melvin & Dan talk about one of Laika's several family-friendly horror-animated features, ParaNorman!  Topics: ParaNorman has a comfortable, cozy Fall atmosphere.Laika takes advantage of it's medium to create a fun, charismatic animation style that separates itself from the competition.Melvin shares about an extremely lonely period in his life where he tried talking to ghosts because he had no one else to talk to.Melvin, "When you're just feeling distant and weird, all you want is someone to step into your world and spend time with you."How ParaNorman isn't really all that scary, especially compared to something like Coraline.But also, how ParaNorman can have these intensely emotional moments elevated by the children's story-book nature of the movie.Discussing what it's like to be an outcast, or treated differently, for your interests (in particular, Melvin & Dan being Christians who like horror movies).In this particular case, most Christians who enjoy horror movies have a strong understanding as to why they enjoy them than most Christians have with non-horror movies."Weird" people know that they're "weird" and see how others treat people who are also "weird", and it can become a perpetual self-isolating and self-preservation machine to try and keep away from those who may target their "weirdness" for laughs, bullying, or with disappointment. In Christian circles, when people are ostracized for certain qualities, social ticks, or "abnormal" hobbies, it's not a far-cry for people to start thinking the Lord sees them in a similar fashion: weird, different, separate, and superfluous.And, finally, we talk about that one joke between characters Mitch and Courtney that apparently became the big talking point during the time of ParaNorman's release, despite there being so much more to talk about (as proven by the rest of the episode).Recommendations: Nate Pickowicz's "How to Eat Your Bible: A Simple Approach to Learning and Loving the Word of God"Parents: Learn to be interested in your kid's lives!Gilmore Girls // Dark Matter Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

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

Guest host Kai Cheng Thom tells Josie and Taylor about the turbulent relationship between terminally online rich guy Elon Musk and his transgender daughter Vivian Wilson. Plus: look to the heavens as we memorialize the ill-fated Laika, the first dog in space.

We chat with EMMY at House of Helvetia in Basel. Despite singing about the famed Russian space dog Laika (the star of her song "Laika Party"), she admits to owning a kitty cat. She says that all animals are welcome to her "Laika Party" — but not animals that eat other animals. She also discusses her Irish co-writer, her brother Ereland, and how Ireland has embraced her.

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!
