There was essentially no news this week, so we ramble a bit and then get into what we have been playing. Obviously Doom: The Dark Ages is top of mind for both of us, but I also bought a CRT to play extremely relevant releases like Super Smash Bros. Melee and Chibi-Robo. To finish we finally get the time to redo my top ten games of all time list, which to the surprise of no one is not very different!

Nintendos Würfel feiert in diesen Wochen seinen 20. Geburtstag – und Games Insider feiert kräftig mit! Der GameCube sollte 2001 eigentlich Nintendos Rückkehr zum König unter den Konsolenherstellern werden, nachdem die Japaner zuvor mit dem Nintendo 64 gegen Sonys erste PlayStation chancenlos gewesen waren. Doch wie wir alle wissen, wurde nichts daraus; gegen die übermächtige PlayStation 2 und den Newcomer Xbox sah der GameCube in den frühen 2000er-Jahren kein Land. Und auch in der Nintendo-eigenen Verkaufszahlenrangliste liegt das Gerät deutlich hinter Erfolgssystemen wie Super Nintendo, Wii oder der Switch zurück. Dies ist umso bedauerlicher, weil für den GameCube einige exklusive und zum Teil auch heute noch sehr spielenswerte Titel erschienen sind – von Super Smash Bros. Melee, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II – Rogue Leader und Pikmin über Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime und The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker bis hin zu Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil 4 oder Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Deshalb möchten wir dem lila Würfel Tribut zollen: Wir plaudern über die Hardware, unsere liebsten Spiele sowie erinnerungswürdige Tests für GamePro und Co. Dabei geht's diesmal bis ins Jahr 2002, in Folge 40 sind dann die restlichen Würfel-Highlights ab 2003 an der Reihe. Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge! Benedikt, Sönke & Andy

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, this is week three, part three of our optimizing your content and your marketing for AI. You know, people call it SEO for AI and a variety of tongue twisting acronyms. This week we’re talking about off site, which I feel like is probably the most accessible for folks because it’s the least technical and it is very familiar ground. Off site AI optimization is essentially how can you be in as many places as possible as often as possible so that your name, your brand, and your content are duplicated as many places as AI crawlers grab their data from to build a training dataset library. So Katie, when we talk about going out into the world, what comes to mind for you for making that work and for being as many places as you possibly can be? Katie Robbert – 00:58 You know, it’s funny because you just said something to the effect of it’s the most accessible or it’s the easiest. And I disagree because I feel like it’s the one that’s the least in your control. So, you know, when we talk about off site, we’re talking about getting on lists and guest posts and other people mentioning you. And it’s not enough to just post about yourself on LinkedIn a couple of times a day. Sure, that’s part of it, but that it’s much more than that. And so, when I think about off site, I still think, okay, number one, I still have to have really good content, which is where we started this series that’s useful and appeals to my audience. So you can’t skip that step and suddenly just say, you know what? Katie Robbert – 01:54 I’m gonna get on a bunch of who’s who lists or top 10 lists or whatever, because without that content as your foundation, people don’t know who you are. So I don’t know. I understand what you’re saying. Where it’s the most familiar, maybe the most approachable. I disagree with that. I feel like it’s actually harder than writing your own content because you still have to have that content, but then you have to convince other people that they have to then include your content in their stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 02:32 Okay. I think I was approaching it from the perspective of it requires the least technical knowledge. Katie Robbert – 02:37 Oh, well, sure. Christopher S. Penn – 02:39 Oh, it looks like public relations, which is in fact what it is. It is all about public relations—public relations, media relations, influencer marketing, influencer relations, and so on and so forth at relations to pretty much anything. That’s where this is in terms of what you do. So what you would do is, you know, Katie, we’d try to go out and pitch you as a thought leader in your field and get as many people to cover you as possible. Our friend Nicole Besthard says the trouble with pitching people as thought leaders is they first have to have thoughts that people want to hear. Katie Robbert – 03:18 It’s. But that’s my point is, like, I mean, it’s not just us. How many people get those spammy emails, like, oh, I loved your article about how to churn butter. My CEO would be great for your content if you just want to add this link, like 10 times out of 10, someone’s just pitching because there was some kind of a form or contact link on your website. It doesn’t matter if it matches or not, because they’re hoping that if I pitch a hundred publications or websites, that at least one or two will say yes. Like, to me, that’s not fun, that’s not easy work. And it feels very inconsiderate of the person pitching that they didn’t even bother to do the research to see if it was a good fit. Christopher S. Penn – 04:17 Yep. What’s different for the AI era, it kind of turns PR strategy on its head a bit. In the old days, and you and I did our time the salt lines at a PR firm, we always had people saying, oh, we need to be in tier one publications, we need to be in The New York Times, we need to be in The Wall Street Journal. And what’s kind of amusing about that is that many of those tier one publications have actively blocked AI crawlers from accessing the content—The New York Times in particular—which means that if you go to a search tool like ChatGPT with search enabled, guess who’s not in the results? The New York Times. Which means that if you’re out there pitching The New York Times, you’re not going to be included in that data set. Christopher S. Penn – 04:56 Whereas today, what we would advocate to people is as long as it’s not inappropriate for your business, like The East Peoria Evening News, totally fine. Right? It doesn’t matter that it’s not a huge publication being on Katie Robbert’s personal blog at katierobert.com, totally fine. Even if she’s only got two readers. It’s the machines we’re trying to get content into, not the humans. Katie Robbert – 05:22 So I guess let’s back up a little bit. So how in this modern age off site SEO, you just mentioned The New York Times for example, how does your average marketer get an understanding of what publications are and are not being picked up by generative AI models? Is there a place where they can go to say, okay, The New York Times is out. You know, Boston Globe is in, East Peoria Times is in, but The West Peoria Times is out. Christopher S. Penn – 05:58 One of the easiest things to do is to fire up the deep research tool of the AI of your choice. So this would be things like Deep Seeks web search. This be Grok’s deeper search, Gemini’s deep research, OpenAI’s deep research, Anthropic Claude’s Web Search, and ask not necessarily about you, but to say, for the management consulting industry, which is where Trust Insights operates, who are the top leaders in management consulting for AI? And when what you’re looking for is not the summary, ignore the summary. You’re looking at the sources list because all the deep research tools publish a list of where they got their information. And that is a great starting place to see what are the blogs, what are the forums, where did this tool get its information? And you want to put as few restrictions on it as possible. Christopher S. Penn – 06:50 In fact, you want to give it a very naive prompt like, what are some great websites to read AI news about and see what it comes up with? Because that tells you where the models are grounding their results. And they’re almost all using traditional search from that. So that is a great first step to say, okay, what does the model know about in terms of data sources? And then you and your PR team, your agency, maybe your virtual PR GPT that you put together, whatever the thing is, would look at that list and say, where could we realistically get placed? If you see, oh, it looks like marketingprofs.com is on there, great. Do they accept guest posts? How would you go about figuring that you see The Wall Street Journal? Christopher S. Penn – 07:37 Like, I know, pretty sure that’s going to require a heck of a lot of work. And in the world of AI, all text is equal. So a piece in The Wall Street Journal and a piece on Christopher Penn’s blog have the same weight in a model in terms of their value. If it’s a lot easier to get out of Christopher Penn’s blog than is The Wall Street Journal, spend your time getting onto Christopher Penn’s blog. Katie Robbert – 08:00 So this brings up an interesting question that, you know, a lot of, you know, this was something that I learned about when I started working with you a million years ago at the PR firm was something called Domain Authority. So where does domain—so Domain Authority. My understanding is, you know, the higher the domain authority number on a scale of what, 1 to 100, the more legit, for lack of a scientific term, the website is. So for example, you know, The East Peoria News might have a high domain authority because they just reported report on specific things versus like a BuzzFeed which has like a lot of eyeballs, but their content is crap. Katie Robbert – 08:49 Can you give like a quick, not overly technical explanation of number one, how I got domain authority wrong and what it actually is, but where it fits in to generative AI search? Because that was a big deal for off site SEO for a long time. Christopher S. Penn – 09:08 If I say the word actually, you’re going to slap me. Katie Robbert – 09:10 Yeah, pretty much so. Christopher S. Penn – 09:14 Domain authority is an invented metric. It was first invented by Moz way back in the day and pretty much every SEO tool has their own version and is their best estimate of the probability that your domain will come up in a search. Like if you are searching for management consulting firms, your domain authority would be ours would probably be like 20 and McKinsey would be like 100% of the time he’s going to show up. That was a general idea back then. Domain authority is an estimate because no one could see into Google’s algorithms. No one had any idea what was in the box. So as people’s best guesses based on essentially submitting a lot of searches to Google and then trying to guess how, why does site keep coming up that in AI search is much less relevant? Christopher S. Penn – 10:01 Because AI search has two major components. One is the model’s latent knowledge itself based on the training data that has been trained on and that is all about tonnage. How many mentions of Trust Insights can we get across the web in any source, doesn’t matter where. And then the second is search grounding, which is when you’re using tools that have search grounding enabled, they will verify the knowledge that they’ve come up with from the model with traditional search results. And so domain authority would still have kind of sort of a little bit of usefulness on the grounding portion. Obviously if you show up in traditional search, then for tools that use search grounding, they will be more likely to validate, but they first have to have the idea that you exist from the model itself. Christopher S. Penn – 10:49 So if you want long term staying power, you won’t need to be in the model’s training data. And then if you want to be credible to that, you have to also be in the search grounding. So that when the model says hey, Trust Insights is a really good management consulting company. Let me go check my search results. Yep, Trust Insights is in there. Trust Insights is credible, so you kind of need both. Katie Robbert – 11:10 Okay, so where do—so one of the ways which we typically do our homework, our research on how to approach our off site SEO, our traditional SEO tools such as an AHREFS or SEMrush, where do those tools fit in? Like, what should we be looking for in like an ahrefs in order to figure out. I want to be so—okay, let me back up a little bit. If my user story is as the CMO, I want Trust Insights to heavily appear in OpenAI’s model for search results so that people will hire us. What do I need to do? What do I need to look for in something like an href? So if that’s how I traditionally do my research to figure out my off site strategy. Christopher S. Penn – 12:07 That is. So traditional SEO tools will not help you very much with getting into the model’s training data because it’s just so vast. That’s again more about tonnage. How can you get placed as many places as possible? And we have a whole bag of tricks that we advise clients on that, one of which is a, you want to be on YouTube and B, you want to be on as many podcasts as you possibly can. And when you’re guesting on those podcasts, make sure that you mention your company name as often as you can in relevance. If you hear me on a lot of guest shows, it’ll sound kind of egotistical and obnoxious like, well, I Trust Insights. We do, but it gets it into the transcripts. Where these SEO tools will help is on the traditional search stuff that you still have to maintain. Christopher S. Penn – 12:56 So you would still go into—for example, the AHREFS has its batch comparison analysis tool where you would say, here’s Trust Insights, here’s five competitors. Where do sites, these other site, these five compares, where do they get links where Trust Insights is not getting links? And then you look at the list. Now here’s the flip again. People are still fixated on domain authority, domain score, et cetera, go down to the bottom of the list. As long as it’s not absolute garbage, like you know, someone’s pills, porn, casino site, as long as not absolute garbage. Those sites that are at the bottom of the list, the small blogs, the small podcasts, you’re gonna have a much easier time getting on those. And from a generative AI perspective, they’re just as credible for just getting more of you out there. Katie Robbert – 13:42 Interesting. So that is, you know, for those who want to call me Captain Obvious, that is the reverse strategy that we’ve typically taken because we’ve always looked for highest domain authority, most credible, best in class. And now we’re saying it doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t completely conflicting of your mission and values. Get yourself on there. It doesn’t matter. To your point, if I want to mention Chris Penn on katierobert.com then you’re like, great, I’m winning because I—that’s one more place where I’m at. Even though there’s only one visitor a month to katirobert.com you’re still there. Christopher S. Penn – 14:33 I’m still there. And critically, I’m still there when the AI crawlers stop by and start ingesting your content. We have seen in the news headlines there’s a big scandal over the weekend. Meta gotten a whole bunch of hot water for using the Live Gen database as part of their training data for the Llama models, which Live Gen is a—a huge repository of pretty much every book and publication and academic paper ever published, pirated by enterprising folks in other nations and that don’t have access to Reed Elsevier or Amazon, whatever. So this is huge corpus of pirated text that they didn’t pay for that was used illicitly. But it speaks to the—it speaks to the absolute hunger that AI model makers have for any valid text. Christopher S. Penn – 15:29 So if you can be anywhere, as long as it’s crawlable and it’s available, be everywhere. Be as many places as you can be. Go for those placements that traditional executives would have looked down like, oh, what? Why am I in, you know, Framingham Patch? That’s not going to help our business. Well, now it will. Katie Robbert – 15:53 Well, it doesn’t help if you’re in the Framingham Patch on the police blotter. That certainly does not help anything. Christopher S. Penn – 16:03 No, it does not. Katie Robbert – 16:04 But excuse me, it is going to be really interesting because it’s a whole re education of essentially how PR for the AI age is going to work. And I think that there’s definitely some folks in that space who already understand it, who already get it. But at least in my admittedly limited experience in the PR industry, it’s well behind modern technologies, modern techniques. If you think of that innovation bell curve, they’re sort of, they’re on the laggard side versus the early adopter side. And so I feel like that’s going to be a struggle because it’s the exact opposite of everything that PRofessionals were taught in terms of pitching and coverage and outreach and you know, all those things because now it doesn’t matter. You would think it would be, oh, this makes my job so much easier. Katie Robbert – 17:07 But you first have to unlearn all those things that you have been drilled into your head in terms of what makes good coverage. Not only that, but they then have to communicate to their clients why getting coverage secured in the Framingham Patch is a good thing and not just a waste of time and money. I just, I feel for them. I, oh, that’s a nightmare. Christopher S. Penn – 17:34 One of the biggest secrets, it’s not really a secret, but it’s something that we talk about in our Generative AI for Marketers course and in our keynotes and things like that, is the good old fashioned news release or the old fashioned press release that you put online that has no SEO value. None. It hasn’t had SEO value for 15 years. It does have AI value and the reason is when you put up a news release on a wire service, on a credible wire service, and I believe I’m actually doing a talk with our friends over at Notified about this not too long from now. When you put something on the wire, it gets replicated thousands of times in the back end. Christopher S. Penn – 18:19 If local news outlets were convenience stores, this would be back behind the baked beans in the far corner of the store. No one goes there, but it’s still there. And that many multiple copies of your information, as long as you structure the press release correctly, which is a whole other topic, it benefits you substantially. So that 99 dollars you plopped down for the wire service release, no human’s going to read it. Don’t expect any traffic from it. Expect zero views. You will, if you are doing traditional PR reporting, it will still look embarrassing, but from an AI perspective, you’re going to look at the 500 copies of your news release and go, we won. We’ve gotten 500 copies of our top language that we need models to learn out for in the world for 99 bucks. Katie Robbert – 19:10 I feel like this still falls under the re education bucket. So, you know, I’ve seen these AI structured press releases and they look similar to a regular press release, but the language is different enough that you’re like, were you struggling with spelling and grammar when you wrote this? Like, this is incoherent. So what is that? How do you explain that? So let’s say, you know, I’m the executive and I say I want to see the press release before it goes out. And then you hand me this AI version of a press release and I, you know, mark it up, red pen, all that sort of stuff, and say, this is incoherent. We can’t send this out. This is embarrassing. Like, that’s a really hard challenge to overcome because it is that re education because you’re sitting there saying, it’s not for you. Katie Robbert – 20:04 And the executive is saying, but I have to approve it. And I can’t approve this. I can’t read it. Like, this is a whole topic that we need to explore in terms of change management. Christopher S. Penn – 20:17 It is. And in some ways it would be the same as that executive trying to inspect Python code. Like, you’re like, you know what? This is not your area specialty. So let’s loop in someone whose special area specialty is to explain to you why this is okay and why it really doesn’t even fall under your purview. Yes, it is. It looks like a press release, it’s press release shaped, but it is not for humans. Katie Robbert – 20:41 Let me ask you this question, and I don’t expect a serious response, but how often, how well does it go when you say to an executive, this is not your area of expertise. Let’s find someone who’s smarter than you. Zero out of 10 times zero. This is. But that’s my point is it’s called a press release. It’s press release shaped. So the person who is used to approving, editing and approving press releases is now being told, this is not your area of expertise. I don’t see that conversation going well. Christopher S. Penn – 21:19 And that’s where I look to you as an expert in change management and organizational behavior, to say, how do we message this to an executive who, as you said, is already a laggard in technology to explain to them, this is not a press release for humans? Katie Robbert – 21:34 I mean, honestly, first and foremost, I’d probably not call it a press release because I think that in and of itself there’s already expectations with the word press release. So if you’re saying it’s a press release, but not—don’t call it a. Christopher S. Penn – 21:47 Press release, I believe you just coined your term, Katie, the AI release. Katie Robbert – 21:52 Call it an AI release because then honest. But honestly, because, like, if you come to me and say, I have a press release, but you’re—but you’ll never be able to understand it. I’m going to be really uppity and offended and, you know, I’m going to throw—throw all the things that are in your way to prevent this from happening until I get it. If you call it an AI release, I’m like, oh, well, I’m not the AI person. I want to understand it, but I probably never will. But that’s not my wheelhouse. That’s not my circus, not my monkeys. Let me go ahead and pass that off. But if it’s a press release, then I absolutely need to micromanage it. Christopher S. Penn – 22:29 Yep, exactly. So I think that answers that question to a degree. Is to—to rebrand it as something else. This is an AI release. This is an AI wire for AI. Katie Robbert – 22:40 And I think that, you know, it’s not the flashiest of names, but I think that it’s appropriately named and that is going to help start that education process of if it’s an AI release for AI, then I don’t have to be the human who understands it because it’s not for me in the first place. Christopher S. Penn – 23:01 Exactly. The other thing that we really recommend, folks, take a good hard look at is syndication, particularly if you are. If you have the opportunity to work with other outlets in other languages. So I’ll give you an example of an acquaintance reached out over the weekend to say, hey, can we make a copy of the almost timely newsletter in Melee? And I’m like, as long as you don’t edit it and you just do the translation of it into—into the Melee language. Yeah, go, go for it, please do. You just have to keep it intact because all my links to my stuff are in there. You know, I want people to go into the Trust Insights courses and stuff. You got to keep my ads. Right. Christopher S. Penn – 23:48 But in doing so, if other people are replicating my content in different languages than when other model makers. So, for example, oh, gosh, what’s the name of the Sea lion? The Sea lion model is a model put together out of a company in Singapore that is structured as a language model for Southeast Asian languages, hence the name Sea Lion—so Malay, Tagalog, Filipino, Thai, etc. Again, we want our data to be finding its way into—into these other models, especially as AI grows and you get more adoption that have localized AI you want to. If you want business in those parts of the world, then you absolutely want to have your content in those publications in those languages. Because someone said on LinkedIn, don’t bother translating your stuff. Language models are perfectly capable of doing that you can just publish in English. Christopher S. Penn – 24:47 Well, that’s a very Eurocentric point of view. But also, language is structured differently. It’s a different language. English is subject, verb, object. Right. There are some languages that are object, subject, verb, like I believe, Gaelic. That if people remember how Transformers work, which you can find in our course, Mastering Prompt Engineering for Marketers, the order of words matters to how prompts function a model. So if you translate into Gaelic properly and it is in that structure, your brand names and titles and how you relate to concepts is going to be different in Gaelic than it is in English. So you absolutely should be publishing in any language where you have an audience or where, you know, big model makers are making the models, like China, for example. Katie Robbert – 25:40 Well, I even think back to my sophomore year of Spanish. The way in which the Spanish language works is that it assigns genders. When you’re conjugating verbs, you have to think about, well, is it, does it end in O? Does it end in a? Yes, like what’s the gender? Even if it’s an inanimate object? You know, and then I also think about a lot of Asian languages. So, you know, in English we go left to right, Asian languages go right to left. And so just the physical structure is different. You know, forget the word order, it’s physically structured, different. And so call me a control freak, I’m totally fine with that. I don’t want an AI model to just go ahead and willy nilly translate for me. I want to have control over the translation. Katie Robbert – 26:33 I was telling a translation story on our livestream last week and how it can go, you know, really wrong. I want to still have that human intervention to say, yes, the model has translated, but I have built in the checks and balances. So for your example, someone wanted to translate your newsletter. Your goal is to keep intact certain tagging and tracking and URLs. You as the human still have to do that QA, that intervention, to say, yes, this is correct. Okay, now it’s ready for public consumption. Christopher S. Penn – 27:07 Exactly. But from the perspective off site SEO for AI, you do want to be doing stuff in the languages of your audience. So go into your Google Analytics as we showed on the live stream, and see what languages you should be targeting. Plus make stuff for the languages of the major model makers in the regions you care about. So you, if you are a French company, you need an English language model. Right. If you look at Mistral has a strong English language capability, even though it’s made in France. You need a strong Chinese language capability because just this morning Deep Seek came out with a new version of its model and they’ve got a deep seq R2 on the way that apparently is terrifyingly good. Guess where Deep Seq gets its information from? From the Internet. Christopher S. Penn – 27:54 And guess what language is particularly good at Chinese, right? So if you are not putting your stuff in multiple languages for model makers to ingest and understand in their language what your company is about, then if this model gets adopted, and that’s kind of the goal of Deep Seq, right, is to they give it away for free so that many places adopt it, you had better be in there. And if you’re not, you are in. You’re not going to perform as well as a competitor who is. So to wrap up off site is all about stuff that you do outside of the walls of your company, outside of the walls of your website. It is technologically the least complicated, but it is arguably the most labor because it requires you to show up and pitch good old fashioned PR. Christopher S. Penn – 28:45 And if your PR firm is not up to date on modern practices, this would be a great time to perhaps educate them. Feel free to share this episode with them and if they are intransigent, maybe it’s time to switch out for a different firm.

(0:01:01) Al: Rusty Retirement, Jordan, the developer of Rusty Retirement, (0:01:05) Al: will be joining us later in the episode to talk about the game and many other things. (0:01:12) Codey: Yeah, we talk, we kind of talk about a couple things. (0:01:12) Al: So we talk about stuff, it is, it is mentioned, and some super exciting secret stuff. (0:01:16) Codey: The game is mentioned though. (0:01:18) Codey: Yeah, it is talked about, which will be revealed in this episode. (0:01:27) Al: Yeah.

(0:01:52) Codey: I haven’t been playing it nearly as much, (0:01:54) Codey: but I did finally beat all of the characters (0:02:00) Codey: and beat like the end game once you– (0:02:04) Codey: and like got credits. (0:02:06) Codey: But it doesn’t really ever end, really. (0:02:08) Codey: You just keep playing. (0:02:10) Codey: But it’s fun. (0:02:12) Codey: doing that, doing more PhD studies. (0:02:16) Codey: It’s like starting to hit me now that like, cause I was talking to my advisor (0:02:20) Codey: and he was like, yeah, so if you’re going to defend in or graduate in December, (0:02:24) Codey: you have to defend in October, which means you should have your data done by (0:02:28) Codey: July. And like, I was just like, Oh, oh gosh, it’s all coming up so fast. (0:02:35) Codey: So yeah, it’s starting to hit. (0:02:38) Codey: Um, and also clearly Rusty’s retirement played a hot minute of that by you. (0:02:38) Al: Fair enough, obviously. (0:02:44) Al: Nice. I think last episode I talked about playing Legends Arceus for the second time, (0:02:51) Al: gone through and caught most of the Pokémon, I was nearly done. I have now finished that, (0:02:56) Al: so that’s that’s done. I’ve got my full Pokémon home decks, got the crown on Pokémon home for (0:03:03) Al: for that. And then I decided to do go from (0:03:08) Al: the best Pokemon game to the worst Pokemon game. And I am now playing Brilliant Diamond (0:03:13) Al: and Shining Pearl again. So it hasn’t, I already, I had a save. I had done a Professor Oak challenge. (0:03:24) Al: So I still had that. However, I didn’t finish, I didn’t keep everything. So there was a bunch (0:03:30) Al: of Pokemon I need to catch and breed and stuff, but it wasn’t too hard, except I am now, I (0:03:36) Al: I now need– (0:03:38) Al: Well, two Pokémon lines, one of which is just a version exclusive, (0:03:44) Al: so I’ve been playing through the other game, Pearl, to get that one. (0:03:47) Al: And I’ve almost got it. I’m almost there. (0:03:49) Al: The other one I need is Palkia, so I do need to finish Pearl till the end. (0:03:54) Al: So I do need to play through that game all the way to the end (0:03:58) Al: and get Palkia and be finished with that. (0:04:00) Codey: I’m sorry. That sounds awful (0:04:03) Al: I do– I feel like I don’t know. (0:04:05) Al: I didn’t, I don’t feel like I hate. (0:04:08) Al: the games when I was playing them, but maybe that rose tinted glasses. (0:04:11) Al: Maybe I did when I was playing it, but they are not great. (0:04:13) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:04:19) Al: I do not miss random encounters in the grass. (0:04:23) Al: I mean, that in and of itself, like I don’t, I don’t want that to ever come back. (0:04:28) Al: I know some people like it. (0:04:29) Al: Whatever. (0:04:29) Al: I don’t, please don’t, please don’t bring it back, please. (0:04:35) Al: and obviously just the thing that annoys me. (0:04:38) Al: most about Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is the stickiness. Like if you walk next to a wall (0:04:48) Al: you slow down. I just hate that so much because it’s like especially if you’re going through a (0:04:53) Al: cave and it’s like you happen to brush against a rock and suddenly you’re going at snail space. (0:04:59) Al: It’s just I really hate it. I do hate it so much and I feel like those games could have been a lot (0:05:05) Al: a lot better if there’s just been like a few decisions made. (0:05:08) Al: I could have dealt with the fact that it was random encounters in the grass right, (0:05:12) Al: like I would have preferred if they’d done something like Let’s Go right like I think (0:05:12) Codey: Yeah. (0:05:16) Al: Let’s Go is one of my favorite games. So if they’d done something like that I would have (0:05:21) Al: been much preferred it but I can understand why they would want to do like let’s keep let’s bring (0:05:26) Al: back the random encounters because that’s what these games were fine but it’s just all the other (0:05:32) Al: decisions that were made. Yeah, not fun. So (0:05:34) Codey: Yeah, I think that was like why I didn’t get them because if I wanted to play Diamond or Pearl, I would play it first like they didn’t change enough to me to make it worth it. (0:05:46) Al: Yeah, are we past the point now where you can just remake a game? Like, red and blue, (0:06:00) Al: when they were remade into Fire Red and Leaf Cream, I think that needed to happen, right? (0:06:05) Al: To make those games fun. Because those games were so, like, they were obviously really (0:06:10) Al: complicated and difficult for what they were at the time, and they were running on like (0:06:14) Al: of shoes. (0:06:16) Al: The company nearly folded multiple times before they got those games out. (0:06:20) Al: And so I think it makes absolute sense to redo those. (0:06:23) Al: I think HeartGold and SoulSilver, whether you like those games or not, I think did a (0:06:28) Al: lot to those games and made them better in a lot of ways. (0:06:33) Al: I personally really like what they did with Oras. (0:06:36) Al: I liked how they did that in the 3D style. (0:06:43) Al: And then let’s score, I think is. (0:06:46) Al: One of their best, I think it’s their best remake full stop. (0:06:48) Al: I think it’s amazing what they did with it. (0:06:50) Al: They took what was the original games and made it different. (0:06:54) Al: I really like that. (0:06:57) Al: And even if they’d done Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as Platinum, (0:07:01) Al: I still feel like people would have been like, “But why?” (0:07:04) Al: Right? Because you can use it. (0:07:05) Al: Like a DS is not, DS games don’t feel old, like Game Boy games feel old. (0:07:12) Al: And yeah, some people would prefer to play a Game Boy game (0:07:16) Al: and remake of a Game Boy game. (0:07:17) Al: But a lot of people wouldn’t. (0:07:18) Al: A lot of people would prefer to play a newer game. (0:07:20) Al: But I feel like if you’re looking for a 2D Pokémon game, (0:07:24) Al: go play a 2D Pokémon game. (0:07:26) Al: I don’t think just remaking them as what they are makes sense anymore. (0:07:30) Codey: Yeah, I agree. I don’t think that that’s exciting enough to merit people dropping down another $60 or $50 or however much these games cost nowadays. (0:07:44) Al: or 120, if you buy them both, which obviously I would never do. You’d never find me doing that. (0:07:46) Codey: Yeah. No, of course not. No. Yeah, so I don’t… I think that it does a disservice to them to… (0:08:00) Codey: Not try and improve the games with the quality of life features that the fandom clearly needs or at the minimum, like have them be like a setting you can toggle or something. (0:08:14) Codey: So if people want to play the game on hard mode, they can. (0:08:18) Codey: Yeah. (0:08:18) Al: Let’s not get into the debate of hard mode. (0:08:22) Al: Yeah, I think, yeah, I just, it’s not even like Brilliant Diamond and Chime Pearl brought (0:08:30) Al: it up to the best or the most modern 2D games, right? (0:08:34) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:08:34) Al: Like the graphics were better, right? (0:08:37) Al: In my opinion, I know a lot of people didn’t like how it looked, but that’s fine. (0:08:40) Al: If you don’t like how it looked, that’s fine, but it is like more modern looking. (0:08:44) Al: It’s cleaner graphics, et cetera, et cetera, right? (0:08:48) Al: No, it’s not, it didn’t have as many quality of life improvements as even Gen 5 did, one (0:08:54) Codey: Mm hmm. Yeah. (0:08:55) Al: generation later, right? (0:08:58) Al: And so what are you doing if you’re not even going to improve it in that way, right? (0:09:04) Al: And that’s ignoring the stuff that they ignored that they had improved in Platinum. (0:09:09) Al: A Gen 4 game that came out two years later, right? (0:09:14) Al: Like if you’re going to ignore all of those improvements that you have made over the years (0:09:19) Al: don’t bother, but anyway, so yeah, I think I enjoyed the Professor Oak challenge because (0:09:20) Codey: Yeah (0:09:23) Codey: Hard agree (0:09:27) Al: it was very different compared to other ones, like having the grand underground, I think, (0:09:33) Al: was made that more interesting, but anyway, most people don’t care about that sort of (0:09:40) Al: stuff. (0:09:41) Al: So yeah, I’ve been playing through that and I’ll get there eventually. (0:09:44) Al: I’ve taken a break today to do some shiny hunting in Scarlet and Violet. (0:09:48) Al: But once I’ve done this, once I’ve caught Palkia, (0:09:52) Al: the only ones I’ll have left to do are, I don’t have a, (0:09:57) Al: because I’ve been for listeners who are, for new listeners or people who aren’t aware, (0:10:01) Al: I lost almost all of my Pokemon saves two years ago on my Switch. (0:10:05) Al: And I’ve recreated most of them now. (0:10:07) Al: So I have the only one, the only one I say I didn’t lose was my sword, (0:10:14) Al: Pokemon sword, because that was on a different Switch. (0:10:16) Al: because I was running two games at the same time. (0:10:18) Al: And I didn’t really like having to close a game and reopen it. (0:10:22) Al: So I just had two switches running the two games. (0:10:25) Al: So because of that, I managed to keep my sword. (0:10:29) Al: But other than that, I lost everything else. (0:10:31) Al: So all I’ve got left I don’t have is Let’s Go Pikachu and Shield. (0:10:39) Al: I think I have everything else because I’ve got Scarlet and Violet. (0:10:41) Al: I’ve got Legends Arceus. (0:10:44) Al: I’ve got Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl now. (0:10:47) Al: and I’ve got Let’s Go Eevee. (0:10:48) Al: And I’ve obviously got my original sword. (0:10:50) Al: So I think I’ve just got Let’s Go Pikachu to do and sword. (0:10:55) Al: And I will probably, I think I’ll probably do with Let’s Go Pikachu (0:10:58) Al: like I’m doing with Palkia and I’ll just kind of like rush through it (0:11:01) Al: and get it finished and then do the last couple of Pokémon (0:11:03) Al: that I need for the crown on Pokémon Home for those games. (0:11:06) Al: And then I think I will probably at some point, (0:11:11) Al: certainly not before the next Pokémon games that comes out, (0:11:14) Al: maybe at the end of the year or something, (0:11:17) Al: I will probably (0:11:18) Al: do a Professor Oak Challenge in Shield and get that done that way and finish up that (0:11:24) Al: dicks like that. Because that’s the only set of games on the Switch that I haven’t done (0:11:33) Al: a Professor Oak Challenge in because I started it for brilliant time in Shining Pearl. What a game (0:11:40) Al: to start that on. And then I went back and did Let’s Go Pikachu, but I didn’t go back and do (0:11:49) Al: Shield. No, I didn’t go back and do Pikachu because I already had a Pikachu save, (0:11:54) Al: but then I’d lost it, so I did Eevee. Anyway, doesn’t matter. Point is, I suspect by the middle (0:12:03) Al: of February, I will only have one Pokémon game not finished and that’ll be Shield and (0:12:12) Al: that’ll be the only Pokédex I don’t have finished on home as well. But I’ll get to that eventually. (0:12:16) Al: There’s no rush. (0:12:17) Codey: So, so I have a question. (0:12:19) Al: Yes, go for it. Yes, my secret is I don’t work. (0:12:20) Codey: Do you sleep? (0:12:23) Codey: I don’t believe you. (0:12:27) Codey: Oh, that worked. (0:12:28) Codey: That’s, that’s fair. (0:12:30) Al: Or if you are my employer, please don’t listen to this. The secret is that obviously the ADHD (0:12:35) Codey: Yeah. (0:12:38) Al: allows me to do like a week’s worth in like a day. And then I spend the rest of the time feeling (0:12:41) Codey: Yep. (0:12:43) Al: guilty that I’m not doing anything because my brain can’t, but it then distracts me. (0:12:45) Codey: Yep. (0:12:47) Codey: Yep, that’s where I am, too. (0:12:52) Codey: But that is part of working with neurodivergence. (0:12:59) Codey: So yeah, that’s actually, I’m doing a conference in November, and (0:12:59) Al: Yeah, weeeeeeee. (0:13:04) Codey: I’m going to try and have a symposium in that conference for, (0:13:08) Codey: it’s an entomology conference. (0:13:10) Codey: I want a symposium specifically on neurodivergence and why, and (0:13:14) Codey: and how to accommodate for… (0:13:17) Codey: people that work in your in your area or group or whatever university (0:13:22) Codey: accommodate for students and faculty that have neurodivergences versus like (0:13:27) Codey: just trying to make them conform because that is very left hand of left hand right (0:13:35) Codey: hand of people so that’s what we’ve been up to oh my gosh he doesn’t sleep you (0:13:38) Al: Oh, oh, wait, no, I’m not finished yet. (0:13:43) Al: I’ve been playing Harvest Moon Home Sweet Home. (0:13:45) Codey: guys I don’t believe it (0:13:47) Al: I’ve not been doing this very much, (0:13:49) Al: because I’ve just been doing like a day or two every day, (0:13:54) Al: which only takes like five or 10 minutes. (0:13:56) Al: But I’m trying to play these games like some people play (0:13:58) Al: them and just playing a little bit every day. (0:14:00) Al: And it’s been so much better with the controller support. (0:14:02) Al: I can actually play it now. (0:14:04) Codey: But can you save it the right way? (0:14:06) Codey: Bye. (0:14:08) Al: It doesn’t seem to work properly in so much as it saves fine, (0:14:12) Al: and it seems to be saving fine. (0:14:14) Al: And it seems like it loads when I go on. (0:14:16) Al: So I’m using it on my iPad, and I play it on my iPad, (0:14:19) Al: and it all seems to work. (0:14:20) Al: And I close the app, and I open up, and it all works fine. (0:14:22) Al: And then I go on to my Mac, and I open it up, and it says, (0:14:25) Al: oh, you’ve got new data. (0:14:26) Al: Do you want to download this? (0:14:27) Al: You go, yes, I’ll take the new data. (0:14:29) Al: And it shows the right thing on there. (0:14:31) Al: It says I’m at spring 23, year one, (0:14:34) Al: and I’ve got this much money, blah, blah, blah. (0:14:36) Al: And then you click on it, and then you actually (0:14:38) Al: get the game, and you’re back on spring one, (0:14:41) Al: and you have nothing. (0:14:42) Al: And the best thing about it is the save (0:14:44) Al: is completely mucked up in so much as there are no people. (0:14:46) Codey: Mm hmm. That sounds lovely, actually. (0:14:48) Al: People don’t exist in the game. (0:14:50) Al: There are no NPCs, and there’s nothing you can do. (0:14:53) Al: You just walk around and do nothing. (0:14:56) Al: It’s– it’s an autistic paradise. (0:15:02) Codey: That’s my kind of farming. (0:15:05) Al: Um. (0:15:06) Codey: Just give me give me all the tasks to do without the social interaction. (0:15:14) Al: So yeah, I can still only play on my iPad, (0:15:17) Al: which I do want the cloud save, (0:15:19) Al: and that would probably, (0:15:20) Al: I’d probably play it more if I had the cloud save, (0:15:22) Al: but the controller support means (0:15:24) Al: that I’m actually playing it. (0:15:26) Al: So, yeah. (0:15:29) Al: So that’s why I’ve been up to, (0:15:30) Al: I’ve also been thinking about the Switch 2. (0:15:32) Al: I don’t know if you’ve been thinking (0:15:33) Al: about the Switch 2 at all. (0:15:34) Codey: Nope. I don’t play my Switch that often, like at all. I know that I am going to play it. (0:15:35) Al: No, that’s fine. (0:15:37) Al: I’m excited for the Switch too. (0:15:38) Al: Hmm. (0:15:44) Codey: I’m going to play the Zelda games eventually, right? And then I enjoy having it for if I (0:15:50) Codey: want to play anything, but Xbox Game Pass has all I really need right now. And no, no, (0:15:57) Al: did you get did you get us a steam decadent Oh sad come on Jeff by the (0:16:03) Codey: I did not. (0:16:04) Codey: I am unloved no we yeah he was like still deciding if he wanted to do it or not he (0:16:13) Codey: actually did just get a raise so yeah maybe I’ll like walk by his phone and do that whole (0:16:16) Al: There you go. Perfect. (0:16:22) Codey: like steam deck like whisper into his phone so that his algorithm will start picking up (0:16:27) Codey: like ads first yeah. (0:16:28) Al: or we can get your is is it your neighbor Micah is it Micah can go in when Jeff moves (0:16:34) Al: in and get Micah to go and talk to him hint are you listening Micah you can we can we (0:16:35) Codey: Uh-huh does Micah have one I can’t remember I don’t know but yeah no my neighbor I’m wondering (0:16:46) Al: confusing Micah’s again I have no idea I don’t think that’s relevant to whether or not he (0:16:50) Codey: if he has a steam deck yeah oh true true true true yeah Micah when we have like a Jeff moved (0:16:55) Al: can convince Jeff to buy U.S.D. (0:17:03) Codey: and party. (0:17:04) Al: Yeah. Yeah, I heard it. I heard it on the podcast. (0:17:04) Codey: Um, you should be like, man, Cody really like was excited about (0:17:08) Codey: possibly because Jeff doesn’t, because Jeff does not listen to this. (0:17:15) Al: I guessed, I guessed. (0:17:18) Codey: Yeah, for sure. (0:17:19) Al: All right. Well, I’m excited about the switch too. And I’m sure we’ll have lots to talk about it in (0:17:23) Al: the future, even though they’ve not really said anything yet. But all right, should we talk about (0:17:28) Al: the news? First up, we have Rune Factory Guardian. (0:17:29) Codey: Sure. (0:17:34) Al: So, first of all, they’ve announced that it’s coming out on the 30th of May. (0:17:39) Codey: Woo. (0:17:40) Codey: Something. (0:17:44) Al: So, there we go. That’s the thing. They’ve given a bunch of information on the new features. (0:17:52) Al: So, it has a village building thing, which is, I think, quite cool. In the trailer, (0:17:58) Al: you see them placing buildings and stuff and that. (0:18:04) Al: That’s cool. I quite like that idea because I get all the previous Rune Factory games have been like, (0:18:09) Al: “Here is an existing village. Go and interact with it.” Whereas this seems to be like you’re (0:18:14) Al: building up a village from small as you do the rest of things as well, which is a fun addition. (0:18:20) Codey: Yeah, I got the vibe that you’re like going through an area that has been like devastated and you’re helping to like rebuild (0:18:28) Al: Yeah, but that’s cool. Because if the whole point of Rune Factory is, it’s what if farming (0:18:38) Al: game plus adventure, I feel like adding in Village Building to that is a good logical (0:18:45) Al: continuation of that. (0:18:46) Codey: Yeah, going elsewhere, spreading your farming knowledge to the masses. (0:18:52) Al: The rest of it seems pretty similar to previous Rune Factory games, your combat and stuff (0:18:59) Al: like that. (0:19:00) Al: There maybe seem to be a bit more in terms of what’s the word I’m looking for, the movement. (0:19:06) Al: You seem to be able to glide on wind and stuff like that that I haven’t experienced in the (0:19:12) Al: previous games, which is a fun addition, making it more Breath of the Wildy, I guess. (0:19:19) Al: And there’s also 16 romanceables in this game. (0:19:22) Al: Get your waifu or husbandu. (0:19:25) Codey: Has a bundle I think it’s Joe (0:19:31) Codey: Yeah, never played a room factory game so I don’t have much (0:19:34) Al: Probably never going to. (0:19:37) Codey: Probs not (0:19:40) Codey: But I mean it looks the village building aspect I really do like like the idea of (0:19:47) Codey: going through an area and like helping to rebuild and restore peace and (0:19:52) Codey: maybe like you can set up farms and then you (0:19:55) Codey: find someone who can farm it and then you (0:19:57) Codey: move on. So it’s like you are creating the (0:19:59) Codey: farms and that kind of stuff and creating the (0:20:03) Codey: little societies. But then you get to disappear (0:20:06) Codey: into the ether. (0:20:07) Al: Is this going to be a, this is going to be the third run factor in a row where I go, (0:20:10) Al: “Ooh, I could, I could, maybe I’ll like this.” (0:20:13) Al: And then I play it and go, “Eh, it’s not really for me.” (0:20:16) Codey: Okay, maybe maybe the village maybe the village thing will be not will will make it change, (0:20:16) Al: Isn’t it? (0:20:17) Al: It’s going to, it’s going to happen again, isn’t it? (0:20:20) Al: Cause I’m getting that feeling. (0:20:27) Codey: maybe you will enjoy. We’re going to be optimistic here, because you’re going to have to play it. So (0:20:28) Al: Yeah, no one’s making me. (0:20:38) Codey: I am promising at this because I make the promises in this hostel. (0:20:46) Codey: Yeah, if you you can only marry. Yeah. (0:20:48) Al: What I didn’t notice is there didn’t seem to be anything about whether the romanceables (0:20:56) Al: are segregated. Oh dear. You know what I mean? Whether you can romance anyone or not. It (0:21:06) Al: does look like… I’m not seeing anything… I can’t remember five, but before five it (0:21:09) Codey: What has it been in all the previous games? (0:21:15) Al: It was definitely only… (0:21:18) Al: opposite gender. But I can’t remember what five did. However, obviously, that was also an issue (0:21:24) Al: for Story of Seasons and is no longer an issue for Story of Seasons and it’s the same company. (0:21:29) Al: So I would hope that now it will allow you to romance any character, but who knows? We’ll see. (0:21:39) Codey: We live in a society. (0:21:41) Codey: Thank you. (0:21:45) Al: It is $60. (0:21:48) Al: euros or 42 pounds. (0:21:50) Al: That is pretty cheap here. (0:21:52) Codey: What why why did you guys like pay a premium to like your government paid a (0:21:53) Al: I don’t know why it’s cheaper here than not though, I don’t know. (0:22:02) Codey: premium so they could get it for cheaper. (0:22:05) Al: The limited edition is $100 or 66 pounds and 66 pence. (0:22:10) Al: What a weird… (0:22:11) Codey: What the heck? (0:22:11) Al: Why is this such a weird number? (0:22:15) Al: it’s interesting. So the standard way. (0:22:18) Al: One. So this is for switch physical is (0:22:18) Codey: Uh huh. (0:22:21) Al: fifty nine ninety nine dollars forty one sixty six pounds or forty nine ninety nine euros. (0:22:27) Al: Right. So I would think maybe it was just (0:22:29) Al: auto-converted if it weren’t for the fact that the euros was a sensible one as well. (0:22:33) Al: So that’s weird. (0:22:34) Al: But then you go on to the limited edition one, which is nine ninety nine ninety nine (0:22:40) Al: dollars sixty six sixty six pounds or eighty three thirty two euros. (0:22:43) Codey: I mean, is it, do you guys have like a tax or something like a tariff on them that that (0:22:48) Al: What is with these numbers? (0:22:51) Al: So confused. (0:22:56) Al: Yeah, but. (0:22:58) Codey: would counteract? (0:23:00) Al: I mean, not if if so, it would be the case on every game, right? (0:23:06) Codey: Well, but maybe they’re like doing you a solid, like this company is like, we know, we know that (0:23:09) Al: Well, not rounding up. (0:23:11) Codey: you have to pay out your nose for shipping. So we’re just going to make the cost cheaper. (0:23:20) Codey: Yeah, I don’t know. I’m just trying to grasp the straws because that’s a little bizarre. (0:23:20) Al: if amazon has the the limited edition for 80 and the standard for 45 which I think was (0:23:24) Codey: Seems like a typo. (0:23:35) Al: the limited edition was more expensive yeah that was like 20 quid more for the limited edition (0:23:35) Codey: the euro prices. (0:23:41) Al: and three pounds more for the oh it’s very confusing what is happening here (0:23:46) Codey: There’s no logic in this place. (0:23:49) Al: I think these must. (0:23:50) Al: be auto translated like auto thing made because I can’t even find I can’t even find (0:23:59) Al: that number anywhere on any shop so I’m just going to ignore it I’m in all right anyway (0:24:03) Codey: Are they trying to say that this is the devil’s game? (0:24:11) Al: there’s that you can go pre-order it now if you want to go go go buy the game if you want (0:24:15) Al: it or if you’re me um next we have harvest hills uh have announced (0:24:15) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:24:20) Al: they’re out now uh I don’t think we got previous notice of this coming out on this date because (0:24:26) Al: I didn’t have it down as that so they’ve just it’s out shadow drop they go (0:24:30) Codey: Yep, that’s the way to do it (0:24:33) Al: um trying to decide if I wanted to play this game or not uh it looks nice it’s nice graphics (0:24:41) Al: but oh no they did announce their release date I just missed it they released it on Christmas eve (0:24:47) Al: I don’t think this had an early access, so this is just… (0:24:52) Codey: Yeah, no, this one was one that I was interested in because of the beehives looking actually like beehives. (0:24:58) Al: Oh yes, oh yes. Oh, it’s cheap. Five quid, that’s wild. Okay, okay. (0:25:00) Codey: And I’m really, yeah, it’s only like $5. (0:25:07) Codey: Okay, the final the final question, can it be played on Mac? Nope. Sorry, y’all. (0:25:12) Al: Oh, but it can on Steam Deck. I’d say it’s unknown compatibility on Steam Deck, but (0:25:17) Codey: Well, I (0:25:20) Al: I suspect it’ll be fine on Steam Deck, because it has controller support. (0:25:22) Codey: It does look really cute, cool. (0:25:24) Al: Interesting. Okay. Yeah. So if you want that game, go play it. Mika. (0:25:28) Al: Which is mountain have announced that their non early access release is coming on the 22nd (0:25:35) Al: of January. What I’m a little bit confused by is that they’ve said that the third update is coming (0:25:44) Al: in the coming weeks. So this seems to be leaving early access without an update. (0:25:50) Al: Like they’re just going, Oh, it’s not early access anymore. But this is this is they’ve been weird (0:25:56) Al: about this since the beginning, right? Because I… (0:25:58) Al: Still don’t understand why they ever put this out in Early Access, (0:26:01) Al: because it wasn’t Early Access. They just added extra content after the fact. (0:26:04) Al: And now they’re releasing their non-Early Access version before the final update. (0:26:10) Codey: I mean, that seems pretty par for the course, given that Coral Island did a lot of the same stuff. (0:26:11) Al: Weird. Weird. What are they doing over there? (0:26:19) Al: - Well, yeah, I mean, I feel like “Mika and the Witch’s Mountain” was more complete on (0:26:23) Codey: Yeah. (0:26:23) Al: its early access release than “Coral Island” was on its 1.0 release. I don’t know, weird, (0:26:28) Codey: Yeah, that’s fair. (0:26:33) Al: confused, whatever. Why they didn’t go, “Oh, this is now out of early access” with their (0:26:38) Al: second content update, because the third content update is extra stuff that they’d want to (0:26:44) Al: add but wasn’t originally promised and so why they didn’t go or the second up (0:26:49) Al: it is the non-early access release okay great fine done but they didn’t do that they’ve gone (0:26:55) Al: no this random date a few weeks before the final update that doesn’t have an actual update (0:27:02) Al: that is the non-early access version (0:27:04) Codey: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I don’t know is this this is the one where they’re gonna do they’re gonna add dungeons, right? (0:27:11) Al: yes correct (0:27:11) Codey: Yeah, cuz it says into the mount gone (0:27:14) Codey: uh (0:27:15) Al: Yeah, this is the time if you played the game before and you haven’t played. (0:27:19) Al: either of the content updates this will be the time to play it because I believe this is the (0:27:23) Al: final update and yeah it has a lot of extra content whereas the previous ones they were fun (0:27:30) Al: they do look fun but they were kind of small things it was like here’s a minigame here’s (0:27:35) Al: an extra collectible whereas this is yeah here are dungeons that you can go into much bigger. (0:27:40) Codey: Mm-hmm. Yeah, cool (0:27:42) Al: Galactic getaway they have announced that their early access comes out in March (0:27:48) Codey: Sorry, I just reread my comment and didn’t even realize it was a pun. (0:27:53) Al: Yeah (0:27:55) Al: You (0:27:57) Codey: So I wrote, how are they getting away with this? (0:28:01) Codey: And it’s galactic getaway. (0:28:04) Codey: So what I was referring to, I almost typed it out, but I wanted it to be like a secret. (0:28:09) Codey: When I look at this like Kickstarter picture that they have, the little robot is clearly (0:28:18) Codey: WALL-E with like a headset on and the dog looks kind of like Doug from up. (0:28:18) Al: Okay, bye. (0:28:27) Codey: And then the spaceship in the back left looks like Stitch’s spaceship from Leelo and Stitch. (0:28:34) Codey: So they’re just, the getaway part of this is that they’re getting away with not being (0:28:38) Codey: sued by Disney, I think. (0:28:38) Al: Right. Okay. So a couple of things. One, I don’t get the spaceship one. It doesn’t look (0:28:41) Codey: Okay. (0:28:44) Al: in it. Oh, no, I see. I know. I see. You mean that one. And I feel like I can see what you’re (0:28:51) Al: getting, what you’re coming, where you’re coming from, but they’re all pretty generic anyway, (0:28:56) Al: right? Like Eve is a pretty like generic looking robot. Doug is a dog, right? Like there’s only (0:29:01) Codey: Yeah, this is the we have Eve at home. (0:29:04) Codey: Uh-huh. (0:29:07) Al: so many dogs that the. (0:29:09) Al: And the spaceship is a red spaceship it it doesn’t even. (0:29:14) Codey: And the watering can has a star on it, like in, uh, I look at, I’m, the more I look someone (0:29:15) Al: Like it doesn’t even have the exact same design. (0:29:19) Al: Oh, come on. (0:29:22) Al: Come on. (0:29:28) Codey: in the background has buns like in, uh, Star Wars. No, I just, that like the, the picture. (0:29:34) Al: The robot is your biggest argument, I see why you’re saying that and I understand what you’re coming from, however, it’s a pretty generic looking robot shape, I think, personally. (0:29:51) Codey: But no, I, I just, I noticed that and I was like, Oh wow. (0:29:55) Codey: But yeah, I don’t know. (0:29:57) Codey: I’d like to see, uh, more stuff about this game. (0:30:00) Codey: I mean, they’ve, they’re going to add, they’re fixing the creatures, the (0:30:04) Codey: farming, the crafting, the mini games, um, and early access in March, 2025. (0:30:11) Codey: So, oh, woo. (0:30:15) Al: Usagi Shima have announced that they have a Chinese New Year update out now with one (0:30:21) Al: very important thing. Would you like to mention it? Yeah, you can give a costume to your bun (0:30:22) Codey: Uh, lion… lion dancing. (0:30:29) Al: to make it look like a… See, I thought these were dragons. I know it says lion, but I feel (0:30:33) Codey: No, they’re quick. Yeah. Have you ever seen lion dancing? Have you ever seen lion dancing? (0:30:35) Al: like it’s the Chinese New Year dragon, isn’t it? No, from a traditional saying. (0:30:43) Codey: I had um, I had a woman. Yeah, no, they’re lions. Um, there were a couple people in my high school (0:30:45) Al: Those are really, those are meant to be lions. I thought they were dragons. They don’t look (0:30:53) Al: anything like lions. (0:30:56) Codey: that uh were lion dancers and so they would do um in all the (0:31:03) Codey: like assemblies. They’d have a lion dancing part to the assembly. It was really cool. (0:31:10) Codey: Oh, that’s that was a big jump that I had to make. So you said this is a costume? (0:31:16) Al: So there’s a costume and there’s a minigame. You maybe have to do the minigame to get the costume, (0:31:21) Al: I’m not sure. Yeah, you jump over buns, some of which are in the costume. (0:31:22) Codey: Is the minigame the jumping? (0:31:29) Codey: Well, I just jumped over a plant and then lost to a mushroom, so. (0:31:33) Al: Oh, OK, so it’s more than buns that you jump over. Fair enough. (0:31:36) Codey: But that’s exciting. (0:31:39) Al: Yeah, if you love this game, it’s another update and with stuff for you to do. (0:31:40) Codey: I haven’t played this game in a while. (0:31:45) Codey: And it’s still cute. (0:31:47) Al: Yes, if you liked the game before, you’ll probably like this update. Let’s be honest. (0:31:50) Codey: you will continue the (0:31:52) Codey: liking shall continue. (0:31:54) Al: Yeah, for sure. (0:31:56) Al: Chill Town have announced their upcoming updates, 0.9 and 1.0. They’ve given some details on them. (0:32:04) Al: It’s mostly 0.9, like right at the end of the post to go, (0:32:10) Al: “Oh, and by the way, there will be festivals. That’s coming in 1.0.” (0:32:15) Codey: Yep, they talk about how they have sprinting, which I thought folks might like given that, (0:32:16) Al: But the rest of it seems to be 0.9. (0:32:28) Codey: you know, the issue was that you had to run across the map, right? That was something (0:32:32) Codey: folks were complaining about when they played it. So maybe being able to run faster will (0:32:37) Codey: alleviate some of that. But the more important thing is that they lied to me in that steam (0:32:45) Codey: that says that there’s a nature exhibit with it that you can fill with insects. But I saw no insects. (0:32:50) Codey: So that’s all they haven’t. But like, you can’t mention that without showing an insect or two, (0:32:51) Al: Maybe they’ve just not put any in yet (0:32:59) Codey: as like an example. They don’t, they, they literally just, they just walk through it’s as (0:33:02) Al: Don’t think they show anything in that they just it’s like completely empty (0:33:08) Codey: if an animal crossing or coral island or whatever, like you just walk through the part of the museum (0:33:13) Codey: in which the insects are supposed to be. (0:33:15) Codey: I was like waiting, I’m like, is there going to be like a butterfly that lies out? (0:33:16) Al: Yeah, very weird. (0:33:27) Codey: Um, yeah, I was, I was really excited to see insects and then there weren’t any, but that’s (0:33:33) Codey: okay. (0:33:34) Codey: Something to look forward to. (0:33:34) Al: Wooo! (0:33:37) Al: Fields of Mystery app have announced their next update, the second major update coming in March. (0:33:46) Al: It adds a new villager, some additional dialogue and schedules for the NPCs. (0:33:54) Al: More unlocks in the mines, which is important. I need to get further down those mines, (0:34:01) Codey: Yep. Yep. (0:34:01) Al: Although I need to I need to not play this (0:34:05) Al: yet. I need to not go into the cut zone. I think I need to wait for more updates, (0:34:10) Al: otherwise I’ll just end up burning out before the end of it. New areas in the town, additional (0:34:17) Al: requests, more museum stuff, new festival, just yeah. Oh the farmland expansion is added. Oh yes. (0:34:27) Al: Gotta get a bigger farm. Do I need a bigger farm? No I do not. Sprinklers! Yes! Finally! Adding (0:34:30) Codey: But you can. (0:34:34) Al: sprinklers and an auto petter. This is getting good. This game’s getting good. It was already (0:34:43) Al: good. It’s getting even better. They’ve also listed a bunch of stuff that’s coming in future (0:34:48) Al: updates but they just they say in no particular order. Just like here are things that we’re (0:34:50) Codey: But, but the automation is the most important. (0:34:53) Al: thinking about. Oh yes. Gotta love it. Also in-game time adjustment options, which is something that (0:35:03) Al: that always sounds like a good idea. (0:35:07) Codey: I mean people probably use it because they want to like skip forward to something or (0:35:12) Codey: other or skip back possibly if they missed a festival or something. (0:35:16) Al: Yeah. All right. And finally, finally, second, finally, next, next we have (0:35:24) Codey: But penultimate final. (0:35:30) Al: just an ultimate. You don’t need to add on the final one to the end. (0:35:35) Al: Next, we have webfishing have released a plush of their main character, the cat, (0:35:43) Al: on Makeship. So if you want that, and it’s funded, it’s out. (0:35:47) Codey: Uh-huh (0:35:47) Al: Definitely happening. So if you want it, go get it. (0:35:51) Codey: Yep, it is $29.99 and most importantly that Al did not mention is that it is holding a salmon (0:36:00) Al: for sure it’s very cute I don’t need (0:36:01) Codey: That’s the most important part (0:36:05) Codey: No, but wait, do you what if you don’t get it and then you want it later? (0:36:10) Al: So Craig, my youngest, is really into Astrobok recently, right? (0:36:12) Codey: Uh-huh (0:36:14) Codey: Okay (0:36:15) Al: Like obsessed with it. (0:36:17) Al: He’s been playing it a couple of hours most days of the week. (0:36:17) Codey: You (0:36:20) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:36:21) Al: He is, and he’s getting really good at it, right? (0:36:22) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:36:23) Al: This is his first proper game that he’s played. (0:36:26) Al: Like he’s done a couple of bits here and there, (0:36:28) Al: but he’s not really like been playing them properly. (0:36:31) Al: But this is, he’s like doing most of it. (0:36:33) Al: There’s a few times where he’s like, can you help me with this? (0:36:35) Al: Because it’s too difficult, but he’s getting really good at it. (0:36:38) Al: like from it’s been like three weeks. (0:36:40) Al: or something and from the start till now he’s improved so much but he’s absolutely obsessed (0:36:46) Al: with it so much that we we just ordered the astrobot plush and that should be arriving (0:36:49) Codey: Oh. (0:36:51) Al: the day this episode comes out so he is very excited about that. (0:36:54) Codey: So if I hear a squeal from around the world of excitement. (0:36:59) Codey: Cool. (0:36:59) Al: Yeah finally we have information on a new Animal Crossing aquarium tour this time in the UK. We’ll (0:37:07) Al: We’ll come back to that word in a minute. (0:37:10) Al: I believe they did this in Japan and a few other places. (0:37:14) Al: I feel like I said about it in Canada and America, maybe as well. (0:37:18) Al: There’s a few. (0:37:19) Al: Anyway, it’s coming to the UK as well in collaboration with Sea Life UK. (0:37:23) Al: Now, I say UK because it is very much a tiny, tiny portion of one part of the UK. (0:37:32) Al: It’s like four different cities that are like half an hour to travel between each other. (0:37:40) Al: It is like a pathetically small amount, and you might go, “Oh, well, it’s because it’s (0:37:45) Al: Sea Life. (0:37:46) Al: It’s a specific company, and they don’t have any other place. (0:37:49) Al: They do. (0:37:50) Al: They have one in Scotland, and they didn’t do it there. (0:37:52) Codey: Well, yeah, they don’t want to do that, right? (0:37:53) Al: Thank you very much.” (0:37:53) Al: Don’t call it a UK tour if it’s just England. (0:37:57) Al: It’s an England tour, but like saying a US tour, and it’s just New York. (0:38:02) Codey: Yeah, just New York and Los Angeles. (0:38:02) Al: Go away. (0:38:05) Al: It’s a Europe tour, European tour. (0:38:10) Al: I’m annoyed. (0:38:10) Codey: Yeah, I guess I don’t really understand like what this is, (0:38:14) Al: Yeah, I think so, yeah, I believe so. (0:38:15) Codey: like, will there just be characters around? (0:38:20) Codey: Around. (0:38:24) Al: There’s activities as well. (0:38:25) Al: I think they have the stamp thing that they do in the game, so it says, “Visitors will (0:38:31) Al: be able to collect character stamps, discover many interesting facts about the inhabitants (0:38:35) Al: of Sea Life, and meet with Tom Nook and Isabel. (0:38:38) Al: at the end of the visit fans will be able to purchase. (0:38:40) Al: Animal Crossing New Horizons merchandise, of course they will, at the Aquarium store. (0:38:44) Codey: What villager would have to be included in either the merchandise or the stamp thing for you to go? (0:38:54) Al: or for me to travel all the way down to, I think Manchester is the closest one, (0:38:59) Al: which would be a, I think it’s a five hour drive for me, which is not insignificant. (0:39:08) Al: I know it means nothing to Americans who will drive five hours for dinner. (0:39:16) Al: I don’t think there is someone, I don’t really think so, like, (0:39:19) Codey: I would think, so if this was in New York or DC, which are like a three to five hour drive from (0:39:24) Codey: where I am, if Blue Bear was in there, Blue Bear is my favorite. (0:39:30) Al: Yeah, I just don’t think… I think it would be… I would drive two hours to go to this, (0:39:37) Al: I think. That’s how far I would drive to get to this. Coincidentally, about the time it (0:39:41) Al: takes to leave Scotland. I would drive two hours to this. I don’t think there’s anything (0:39:49) Al: realistically that would make me drive five hours. I don’t think I could do that. That’s (0:39:56) Al: too far. Especially considering we have an (0:40:00) Al: aquarium five minutes from us that we have a season pass to. So I would be paying to travel (0:40:08) Al: five hours to then pay to get into an aquarium when I have a season pass to an aquarium next to (0:40:14) Al: me. That doesn’t feel the most sensible situation, right? Oh, we do. All right, that is the news. (0:40:18) Codey: We have an aquarium at home. (0:40:25) Al: So next we will be going into our interview with Jordan, the developer of (0:40:30) Al: overseas retirement. We recorded that at a different time. So if it sounds different, (0:40:36) Al: that’s why. I hope you enjoy the interview. (0:40:38) Al: Weeee! (0:40:39) Al: Woo! (0:40:39) Al: Woo! (0:40:48) Al: Okay, we are now back with the developer of Rusty’s retirement, which just to remind listeners (0:40:56) Al: was the winner of the Harvest Seasons Game of the Year last year. (0:41:01) Al: Hello, welcome to the podcast, what is your name and what are your pronouns? (0:41:06) Jordan: Hiya. My name is Jordan, he/him. Yeah, I’m the developer of Rusty’s retirement, and also a smaller, lesser-known metroidvania called Hyekuda Robot, which is in the same universe as Rusty, actually, if you didn’t know that. A little bit of lore for you. (0:41:24) Al: I did not know that and I do like metroidvanias, maybe I’ll look at that at some point. (0:41:30) Codey: wait it’s a metroid haiku as in haiku the helper of russey (0:41:35) Jordan: Yep (0:41:37) Codey: he metroid what okay continue I have questions (0:41:41) Al: Well, good thing that you have questions because this is an interview, so I guess we’ll start (0:41:48) Al: off with a couple of easy questions. What is your history with games, just in general? (0:41:54) Al: What did you play when you were young? How did you get to where you are with games? (0:41:59) Jordan: Yeah, so I think my sort of gaming journey, let’s say, started when I was little, (0:42:08) Jordan: and I can’t remember the age exactly, but it was when Game Boy Color came out, (0:42:13) Jordan: because that was my first console that I ever got. And I just have super fond memories of playing (0:42:21) Jordan: Pokemon Gold on the Game Boy Color. So yeah, after that, and it was just like all the game. (0:42:29) Jordan: Boy stuff, Game Boy SP, Game Boy SP Advance, all of those ones. Nintendo DS when it came out, (0:42:39) Jordan: you know, all that sort of stuff. And then eventually I got like a PlayStation, I think. (0:42:44) Jordan: So I played like typical PlayStation games like GTA and stuff when I was definitely not age (0:42:51) Jordan: appropriate to play GTA, but still pretty fun times. So yeah, just sort of a mix, but it definitely (0:42:59) Jordan: with Game Boy and Game Boy Color. (0:43:01) Al: Yeah, fair enough. What was your starter in in Pokemon gold? (0:43:04) Jordan: Oh, I think it was the crocodile looking guy. Yes, that’s the one. (0:43:09) Al: Totodile. Yeah, good one. Good one. You’re in good company because we are both also Pokemon fans. (0:43:16) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:43:16) Al: I’ve been doing a lot of Pokemon recently. (0:43:20) Jordan: Yeah, I even I even actually bought because they did this remaster edition of like heart (0:43:25) Jordan: gold or something for like at the time I didn’t have a DS, I think it broke or I was only using (0:43:33) Jordan: my cousins or something like that. So I literally went out and bought a DS just so I could buy (0:43:39) Jordan: Pokemon Heart Gold. And that was like the only game I had for it. That was it. (0:43:44) Al: Yeah, I was actually the same because I dropped out of Pokémon after Gen 2 and came back (0:43:50) Al: for HeartGold SoulSilver. And I didn’t have a DS either, but my mum had a DS for brain (0:43:55) Al: training games. And so I was like, “Can I use your DS, please?” I used her DS and played (0:44:02) Al: HeartGold SoulSilver. I then got my own DSi for when the black and white came out. It (0:44:08) Al: a good time to jump back in, I think. (0:44:10) Codey: I think everyone had that like break period where they like played and then they stopped (0:44:15) Codey: playing and then they jumped back in, or at least I had that, yeah, yeah. (0:44:18) Jordan: - Yeah, I did as well. (0:44:20) Jordan: After HeartGold, I think I went and played all the DS, (0:44:24) Jordan: Pokemon games that released, (0:44:25) Jordan: like Diamond, Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby, all of those ones. (0:44:30) Al: Fair enough. Rusty’s retirement is obviously a farming game. What is your history with farming (0:44:36) Al: games? When did you because obviously there’s got to be a point where you’re like I’m making (0:44:40) Al: a farming game. So how did you get to that point in enjoying farming games or you know (0:44:46) Al: cottagecore games in general? Wow, okay interesting. (0:44:48) Jordan: I’ve never played a farming game, still to this day, other than Rusty’s retirement. (0:44:58) Codey: - Wild. (0:45:00) Jordan: So I know they exist, I know how they work, and obviously when I landed on Rusty’s retirement, (0:45:09) Jordan: well first of all, let me go back a little bit more. So after my first game, which was (0:45:14) Jordan: haikura robot, the same haikura that appears in Russia’s retirement. (0:45:19) Jordan: I was kind of stuck with what to do because making a Metroidvania was just a massive undertaking, especially to do it solo. (0:45:27) Jordan: Like I did all the art, animations, the coding, and there’s just so much content like you need. (0:45:33) Jordan: There was like 10 or 10 to 15 bosses at the end, you know, it’s just so much work. (0:45:39) Jordan: Like each boss needs their own unique animations, attack patterns, all this sort of stuff. (0:45:45) Jordan: And I was like, vowed to myself that I’m never going to (0:45:48) Jordan: put myself through this again, that I’m going to try and make (0:45:52) Jordan: something smaller and simpler as my next game. But when I (0:45:56) Jordan: finished from Metroidvania, that I didn’t know what to do. So I (0:46:03) Jordan: had this sort of brainwave of, I’m just going to make these (0:46:07) Jordan: sort of small prototypes, spend about two weeks on an idea (0:46:11) Jordan: because, you know, I had a bunch of ideas I wanted to try out, (0:46:15) Jordan: spend about two weeks on each sort of idea. (0:46:18) Jordan: And just test them just to want to see if I could actually do some of this stuff, you know, like some my technical capability isn’t like fantastic. I’m not like a fantastic coder. So some of this stuff is just simply out of my reach, just from a technical standpoint. (0:46:34) Al: You’re not making a 3D Zelda game. (0:46:35) Jordan: And then (0:46:37) Jordan: Yeah, or like, you know, I love strategy games and forex games as well. So like, but those things are like humongous. I would never be able to do something like that. (0:46:47) Jordan: And, and yes. (0:46:48) Jordan: So I just did these prototypes and I made Rusty and funnily, funnily enough. (0:46:55) Jordan: I actually shelved Rusty for like three months because I made it and most (0:47:01) Jordan: of the prototypes I made, and then I showed them on Twitter, right? (0:47:06) Jordan: I showed like, Hey guys, what do you think of this sort of thing? (0:47:10) Jordan: Just to kind of gauge, you know, interest and stuff like this, because I (0:47:14) Jordan: didn’t want to make something that, you know, at the end of the day, (0:47:17) Jordan: nobody wants to play. (0:47:18) Jordan: I was kind of trying to find this balance of like, okay, I’m going to do these (0:47:21) Jordan: ideas that I want to make and find out if I want to make them, but then also (0:47:26) Jordan: show them to people to see if there’s interest because I think if there’s (0:47:28) Jordan: interest, it also kind of motivates you to make it as well. (0:47:31) Jordan: You know, so it’s like this balance. (0:47:34) Jordan: Uh, but for Rusty, I thought, man, this is such a stupid idea. (0:47:38) Jordan: Nobody’s going to want to play this. (0:47:40) Jordan: And I just shelved it for like three months. (0:47:42) Jordan: Uh, but luckily I had commissioned, um, the sprites for. (0:47:48) Jordan: Rusty and they came through and I was thinking, you know, I should at (0:47:52) Jordan: least put sprites in the game now that they’ve done, just see what it looks like. (0:47:56) Jordan: And that’s when I thought, Oh, it was pretty cool. (0:47:58) Jordan: And I should make this into something. (0:48:00) Jordan: But before that, I hadn’t played any farming games or anything like that. (0:48:04) Jordan: But then once I kind of had this rusty idea and I also put it on Twitter (0:48:09) Jordan: and people really liked it, then I started like, uh, researching more (0:48:13) Jordan: into farming games and stuff. (0:48:14) Codey: » Mm-hmm. (0:48:16) Al: if you still not played any. (0:48:16) Jordan: But interestingly enough, I… (0:48:18) Jordan: No, I haven’t, because I was tempted to play Stardew Valley, (0:48:22) Jordan: but I didn’t want to get too influenced by the decisions that were made in that game. (0:48:29) Jordan: Like, I researched enough to know what’s the sort of loop, the core gameplay loop, (0:48:34) Jordan: and understand how that works, but I didn’t want to play it and see exactly how it’s done, (0:48:39) Jordan: because then I felt like it’s just going to influence my decision too much. (0:48:43) Jordan: And that kind of happened with my first game th

Jeremy, Candace The Magnificent and Navaar Jackson are back this week to talk about the news of the Assassin's Creed: Shadows release. Can you guess why? Yep, a lot of people seem very upset that one of the main protagonists - Yasuke - is a black man, in a game set in feudal Japan. Would we have this same backlash if it was a white guy? Is using the 'historical accuracy' label being used more by game and media companies just to avoid being classed as 'woke'? And how does it compare to game companies embracing gender? Let's talk about it!Follow Navaar and grab a copy of his game The Corrupted here:https://twitter.com/NavaarSNPhttps://navaarsnp.itch.io/Follow Candace and all their amazing work here:https://x.com/thecandacemariehttps://www.instagram.com/candacethemagnificent/Follow the halflings!
