Joe: I am still chipping away at tears of kingdom ( I know I know ) and playing mass effect off and on. (edited) Brasop: still wakes the deep on gamepass which I thought was excellent and only a few short-comings. Tomb raider trilogy remastered - just finished the first two games and about to start the third. Love the original series, classic childhood games of mine. My brother recommended the two Ori games so I've just started the first one of those and after a pretty slow opening its now really good, love the movement and speed of the main character. Also went back and finally finished the Doom 3 expansion Resurrection of Evil after nearly 20 years. I remember getting half life 2 and doom 3 in 2004, that was a special time. Anyway, cheers all Brydude: I've been doing a new game plus run of persona 3 reload and also started playing Jedi survivor and another crabs treasure. whenever it's multiplayer with my buds, we usually play Fortnite, or overwatch Beavis Christ: Only the best, baby. DKC Tropical Freeze, FF6, Sekiro Brasop - do you have a game you go back to and replay all the time, not necessarily a favourite game but a comfort game, that you can play and without worrying too much about it because you're so comfortable with it. Mine might be Giants Citizen Kabuto on PC, I can breeze through that without thinking too much and love it.

(0:00:35) Al: My name is Al. (0:00:38) Codey: Cody. (0:00:38) Al: And we’re here today to talk about cottagecore games. (0:00:42) Codey: Woo! (0:00:46) Al: That was a really long woo. (0:00:48) Codey: It was… (0:00:50) Codey: It’s like when you’re… (0:00:50) Al: Like it sounded like we were falling off a cliff there. (0:00:54) Codey: It’s like when you’re hugging a friend and you’re like, (0:00:56) Codey: “Who’s gonna end it first?” (0:00:58) Codey: Like… (0:01:01) Al: It’s like the, you know, the Disney hug rule. (0:01:04) Codey: Oh gosh, no I do not. (0:01:06) Al: So the Disney hug rule and I mean, Disney have never confirmed that this is true. (0:01:10) Al: But when you watch some videos, it’s pretty clear that it’s true. (0:01:14) Al: The theory is that cast members at Disney are told that they are not allowed to stop a hug. (0:01:22) Al: So the kid has to has to be the one that decides when the hug ends. (0:01:26) Codey: That’s horrifying. I would hate that. (0:01:28) Al: So, so you just had, there are, (0:01:31) Al: I’ve seen some TikToks of kids like hugging for like three, four minutes. (0:01:37) Al: And it’s like, I mean, like, well, I mean, presumably Cody, (0:01:41) Al: you would never want to do that job anyway, right? (0:01:45) Codey: I mean, I think it would be fun to like, because I did choir for a really long time and I have kind (0:01:51) Codey: of a Disney voice in choir. I guess they don’t ever really sing at Disney, but like I could, (0:01:57) Codey: like I always thought that would be super fun, but then I remembered I hate children, so. (0:02:04) Al: kind of an important thing for a job at Disney, I would think. (0:02:06) Codey: I also hate, I also hate non-consensual physical content, particularly with children. (0:02:10) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, so I would say don’t do that job, Cody. That would be my (0:02:15) Codey: So, yeah, no, I’m not going to, yeah. (0:02:20) Al: advice to you. But yeah, I think it’s it’s very funny because like, the comments on these (0:02:26) Al: TikToks tend to be, oh, that kid really needed it. And I’m like, okay, sure, fine. It’s just (0:02:30) Al: funny. [laughs] (0:02:34) Al: Anyway, I think the kids that actually need a hug probably aren’t going to Disney because the parents aren’t taking them. So… (0:02:34) Codey: - Sure. (0:02:40) Codey: Well, and that’s what makes me so uncomfortable. (0:02:42) Codey: Like when, you know, like my little cousins (0:02:45) Codey: or whatever, when I was with my ex (0:02:46) Codey: and like they would come up (0:02:47) Codey: and they would just hug my leg constantly. (0:02:49) Codey: And I was like, ah, I hate this. (0:02:52) Codey: Cause like no amount of me hugging you (0:02:55) Codey: is gonna make you feel better. (0:02:57) Codey: Like, please let me go. (0:03:00) Al: Wow. (0:03:01) Codey: But more importantly, transcripts are available with show notes and on the website. (0:03:07) Al: Woo! (0:03:10) Al: This episode, we’re going to have our mid-year check-in. (0:03:13) Al: So this is something we started last year (0:03:15) Al: when we doubled the number of episodes. (0:03:18) Al: We got to the middle of the year and went, (0:03:20) Al: we’ve had a lot of episodes. (0:03:21) Al: Let’s maybe see what the year’s been like so far (0:03:24) Al: and chat about that. (0:03:26) Al: I thought we would do that again because it’s the end of– (0:03:29) Al: is this autumn? (0:03:30) Al: Is this– is that the current season? (0:03:32) Codey: Oh, and the show. (0:03:32) Al: No, no, no, no, no. (0:03:34) Al: Nowhere’s spring. (0:03:35) Al: No, we’re summer. (0:03:36) Al: We’re summer. (0:03:37) Al: We’re in summer, I think. (0:03:38) Al: Episodes. (0:03:38) Codey: I mean, in the real, real, we’re in summer. (0:03:41) Al: No, I know what we are. (0:03:42) Al: Nowhere in autumn. (0:03:42) Al: We’re in autumn, too. (0:03:43) Al: That’s what we are, of course. (0:03:44) Codey: OK, for the podcast. (0:03:46) Al: Yes. (0:03:46) Al: So this is the last day of autumn. (0:03:48) Al: Next episode will be the first day of winter. (0:03:52) Codey: Can you hear my dog panting? (0:03:54) Codey: Very, very lovely. (0:03:55) Codey: Yeah, no, she’s… (0:03:56) Al: A little, not a huge amount. (0:03:58) Al: So we’re going to chat about the games (0:04:01) Al: that we’ve enjoyed so far from the year. (0:04:03) Al: Spoiler alert, apparently, we’ve not (0:04:05) Al: played a lot of games from this year. (0:04:08) Al: We’re going to talk about what we’re most excited to play (0:04:14) Al: for the rest of the year because we’ve still got six months to go. (0:04:17) Codey: Gosh, it has simultaneously flown by and also– (0:04:18) Al: Or we’ve only got six months to go. (0:04:20) Al: I don’t know which it is. (0:04:24) Codey: there’s still six months. (0:04:28) Codey: But this year is going way too slow for– (0:04:32) Al: yeah before that we have a bunch of news still so much news why is there still so much news (0:04:36) Al: it’s the summer stop giving us news but first of all cody what have you been up to (0:04:42) Codey: I have been doing research, but for video games, I’ve been still playing Power Wash Simulator. (0:04:52) Codey: I have… I believe I’m on the last thing of the, like, story quest. (0:05:01) Codey: So that’s exciting. I’m not going to spoil it for anyone, but that game has been very awesome. (0:05:07) Codey: And then, midway into me playing it, my landlord actually brought me a Power Washer. (0:05:12) Codey: So now I can do it in the real too, which is great, because here soon I’m going to have a void in my heart that is Power Wash Simulator shaped. (0:05:23) Codey: I also started Cassette Beasts, so that was something recently when I noticed that I was going to have a void in my heart. (0:05:31) Codey: I looked at what was available on Game Pass, and I was like, “You know what? Let’s just do it. Let’s do Cassette Beasts.” (0:05:39) Codey: I’m enjoying it so far. It’s definitely (0:05:42) Codey: Pokemon yeah so I mean it’s it’s nice I enjoy it I don’t know if that’s kind of (0:05:44) Al: I have heard good things from some people. (0:05:55) Codey: what I’m looking for right now but I will continue to play it and see where (0:06:00) Codey: it goes so yeah those are the big things other than that I’ve been working my (0:06:04) Codey: coffee job and also doing rover dog-sitting so that’s me what about you (0:06:11) Codey: well. You’re cooking, you’re clicking. (0:06:12) Codey: In what game? Oh, you’re doing it on your computer. (0:06:13) Al: Yes, I’m not fishing. In Farm RPG. Yeah, did you know you could do that? (0:06:24) Al: Maybe that’s dangerous for you to know, I’m not sure. (0:06:26) Codey: so I was going to say, you’re clearly on farm RPG still. (0:06:29) Al: Yes, no. Yeah, I just unlocked a new area to fish in. So, oopsie. I am. Yeah, sorry, (0:06:36) Al: just give me… I literally, I’ve been working towards the thing that I’m currently, I’ve just (0:06:41) Al: unlocked for a week. (0:06:43) Al: I had to do two and a half thousand eggplants to unlock a specific runestone so that I could (0:06:48) Al: then get to a new area. So I’m suddenly like, “Oh, I can do this now! Yay!” But no, that’s (0:06:54) Codey: Yeah, make number go big, number get big, number go brrrrrrrrr. (0:06:55) Al: bad. Yeah. I mean, that is one thing I’ve been doing a lot, is farm RPG. So I’m now making (0:07:03) Al: maybe like 100 to 150 million silver a day. So yeah, a lot. (0:07:09) Codey: Crazy. (0:07:13) Codey: How many drinkings are you at? (0:07:13) Al: Drinkings. Oh, the 99. Yeah, yeah, it bothers me a bit. I have completed 82. But that’s (0:07:17) Codey: Bar, bottles of beer. (0:07:23) Codey: Okay. (0:07:25) Al: taking ages to get to the next level, because like, my crafting is at like level 91, but (0:07:30) Al: my farming is down at 82. And it’s just, it takes so long to up the farming, because there’s (0:07:35) Al: only, you can’t speed it up, really. Like, I’ve sped it up as much as I can. So I think (0:07:40) Al: it’s like roughly they take about half the time now that they’re (0:07:43) Al: meant to but it’s still like that’s and I’m up to 32 plots and to get another (0:07:51) Al: four I need a billion so like that’s not that’s gonna take a long time to get (0:07:56) Al: there but yeah I’ve unlocked a lot of stuff and I feel like I’m just grinding (0:08:01) Al: through the mid game now it’s just taking a long time yeah it is fun and I’m (0:08:06) Codey: - Yeah, I mean it was a fun game though. (0:08:08) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:08:10) Al: I’m definitely not finished yet. (0:08:13) Al: And I’m not gonna stop yet, but yeah, we’re getting there. (0:08:19) Al: We’re getting there. (0:08:21) Al: What was the quest I was looking at? (0:08:24) Al: Can’t remember. (0:08:26) Al: Fishing. (0:08:27) Al: Right, yes, sorry. (0:08:28) Al: Sorry. (0:08:29) Al: I’ve closed the tab now. (0:08:32) Al: I’ve also been playing Go Go Town and Starstruck Vagabond, (0:08:35) Al: and hopefully eventually I’ll do episodes on both of those games. (0:08:39) Al: Because I feel like I’ve been playing both of them for ages (0:08:41) Al: and not done episodes on that. (0:08:44) Al: Time is a timing, so we’ll get there. (0:08:44) Codey: -Well, speaking of things being delayed and maybe doing episodes on things later, (0:08:52) Codey: that’s what we’ve been up to for news, Southfield. (0:08:52) Al: “Wooooh! Time for the news! That says the problem with the segue between sections doesn’t really (0:09:02) Al: work that well when you have to introduce the section. Southfield Early Access has been delayed.” (0:09:10) Codey: which this was like very close to release right like it was (0:09:13) Al: Yeah, it was like tomorrow. Yeah. (0:09:14) Codey: supposed to be released tomorrow when they announced it on Friday. (0:09:20) Al: » Yeah. (0:09:21) Al: » Yeah. (0:09:21) Codey: So like three days before release, which (0:09:23) Al: Yeah, I always find these interesting because it’s like they only actually announced the (0:09:26) Al: release like two weeks ago. So to give the context, they’ve said the reason they’re delaying (0:09:32) Al: is because of performance issues that people have found in the closed beta. But they’ve (0:09:37) Al: been running the closed beta for months, and they announced the early access date two weeks ago. (0:09:43) Al: And this is when they’ve gone, “Oh, we’re not actually going to do that.” So it’s like, (0:09:46) Al: I’m not saying that delaying is a bad thing. It just feels like I’m confused by their timing (0:09:50) Al: of all of this and (0:09:53) Al: like did nobody say anything about the performance in the first multiple months of the closed beta? (0:09:56) Codey: No. So I think that they said, so yeah, it says that they’re a recurring problem being (0:09:58) Al: Or did they think they’d managed to fix it in time or… (0:10:05) Codey: performance. And then in response, we implemented a new way to make the game run more smoothly, (0:10:10) Codey: which worked well. So I’m assuming that they were like, Oh, cool, we’re good. Uh, but the (0:10:14) Codey: caveat is, but created lots of complex issues over the past few weeks. So I think they’d (0:10:20) Codey: like probably felt like they had solved that issue, but then all of these other issues (0:10:26) Codey: are dropping up. Not entirely sure what those are, um, which is fine. I mean, you know, it (0:10:31) Codey: would be better for you to, to perf not perfect, but like, uh, address those issues before (0:10:38) Codey: release. Um, though it was very interesting to me that they say safeguarding our devs (0:10:44) Codey: is very important to us. Oh, okay. I was like, are people going to like attack them if the (0:10:46) Al: Yeah that’s about crunch. They don’t want to crunch. No, so they say the last thing (0:10:53) Codey: The game is bad. (0:10:55) Al: we want to do is put enormous pressure on them to fix these issues for launch and beyond. (0:11:00) Al: Safeguarding is very important. So yeah, they don’t want to crunch basically, which is good. (0:11:02) Codey: Yep. (0:11:06) Al: We don’t want them to crunch either. Do not crunch. Well, it is how things work. That’s (0:11:06) Codey: That’s good. (0:11:08) Codey: Yeah, no, nope. (0:11:09) Codey: That’s not how things work. (0:11:12) Al: that’s the problem. It’s not how things should… (0:11:15) Codey: It shouldn’t be how things work. (0:11:16) Al: I’m actually really happy about this because I was getting very stressed about Southfield (0:11:17) Codey: Yeah. (0:11:23) Al: coming out tomorrow because long time listeners will know that I go away for a month in the (0:11:30) Al: summer and that’s in a month’s time. I wasn’t figuring out… I had no idea how we were going (0:11:42) Al: to cover this game and I really wanted to cover this game when it came out as soon as (0:11:46) Al: I could. Hopefully it’s delayed till at least the second half of August. That’s when I would (0:11:52) Al: like it to come out because then it’s much more sensible timing for us and we can get (0:11:57) Al: a good episode for it. Because Go Go Town came out before it, so obviously I was going to (0:12:03) Al: pick that one up then. It came out like a week ago or something. Is it a week and a half maybe? (0:12:07) Al: I lose track. I could just look at my list but I’m not going to. (0:12:12) Codey: Yeah, I don’t think it matters. I’m trying to see what all it’s on. (0:12:16) Al: I think it’s just on Steam. I don’t know if it’s on Mac. (0:12:16) Codey: Go go 10. (0:12:17) Codey: Oh, I could play it on Switch. (0:12:22) Codey: It says Nintendo Switch PlayStation 5. (0:12:25) Al: Yeah but it’s not out on them yet because it’s in Early Access so it’s only on Steam so far. (0:12:32) Al: And I will say the Go Go Town team have been very good at responding to issues. There was a really (0:12:39) Al: fun issue that crashed the Steam Deck, which was really impressive. But yeah. (0:12:46) Al: So playing the game would be fine and then I would put the Steam Deck on sleep and then I would wake (0:12:52) Al: it back up and I would play for a little bit and then the game would just crash and the entire (0:12:57) Al: system was dead. So I would have to like hard reset it and then come up and then I would have (0:13:03) Al: lost some progress. Interestingly it didn’t seem to be like tracking the amount of time in game. (0:13:09) Al: So like Steam says I’ve played for six hours but I’ve definitely played for like 11 or 12 hours (0:13:13) Al: I’m pretty sure so it was like not (0:13:16) Al: tracking that time but anyway they fixed that issue but then that broke a different (0:13:20) Al: issue on the Steam Deck and I tweeted them and then they fixed it the same day so they’re (0:13:25) Al: very responsive and yeah it’s that’s going really well but I’ll talk about more about (0:13:30) Al: go-go 10 in a future episode speaking of future episodes and past episode Hello Kitty Island (0:13:37) Al: Adventure is finally coming to Switch woo and also also PC and PlayStation but switch (0:13:40) Codey: Whoo! (0:13:42) Codey: Whoo! (0:13:43) Al: Whoo! (laughs) (0:13:46) Al: So it’s not coming out till next year, early 2025. I suspect Q1 for Switch and PC. (0:13:53) Al: They said that Switch is a console exclusive, a timed console exclusive. And then I suspect (0:14:01) Al: PlayStation like Q3 maybe, but we’ll see. Excited. They announced this in the Nintendo Direct, (0:14:07) Al: if you’ve not seen that. And, you know, obviously it’s still a bit away, but I’m very excited that (0:14:14) Al: that they’ve actually finally said it’s (0:14:16) Al: happening because, like, when me and Maddy were talking about it in the episode, we’re (0:14:22) Al: like, yes, Apple Arcade exclusives do sometimes come to other things, but we don’t know if (0:14:28) Al: they are actually planning on doing it, and if so, when, and how long, because, like, (0:14:32) Al: obviously they sign a contract with Apple saying that they’ll be exclusive for a certain (0:14:36) Al: amount of time, and it could be years. We just didn’t know. Now, it does look like that (0:14:41) Codey: - Yeah. (0:14:42) Al: That might have been two years, if it’s coming next year, because it came out last year. (0:14:46) Al: But yeah, we’ll see. Exciting. (0:14:47) Codey: Yeah. (0:14:49) Codey: Yeah? (0:14:49) Codey: It sure looks like Animal Crossing. (0:14:53) Al: Yeah, it feels so… It’s been a while since we’ve done the episode, but like, it doesn’t… (0:15:00) Al: It’s less Animal Crossing, certainly less New Horizons. I guess maybe it’s more like New Leaf (0:15:07) Al: in so much as like, you’re not making the town, right? Like you don’t decide where houses are and (0:15:14) Al: stuff like that. You do. (0:15:16) Al: You can like you design inside the houses, I think. But I don’t think you get to decide (0:15:21) Al: like where things are and stuff like that. The town is defined. The buildings are where (0:15:26) Al: the buildings are and you build them but you build them in so much as there is a plot and (0:15:33) Al: it says build a house here and you go yes please and it’s built. (0:15:37) Al: So yeah, I’m excited to see how that goes. Are you going to play it when it comes out? (0:15:40) Codey: Yeah. We’ll see where my debt’s at at that point. (0:15:43) Al: Fair, fair. (0:15:48) Codey: Also, next year is when I’m going to try and graduate. (0:15:50) Codey: So I might be tearing my hair out. (0:15:53) Al: Cool. (0:15:56) Al: Don’t know what to say. (0:15:57) Codey: Another game, another game that I may or may not play is our next one, which is Harvest Days. (0:16:02) Al: Yes. (0:16:03) Codey: I don’t know if I’ve ever looked at this game or seen this game before. (0:16:06) Al: Yeah, we’ve we definitely have talked about it before. (0:16:09) Al: I think early access came out, it was maybe late 2022. (0:16:14) Al: I think it’s a like a family that develop it. (0:16:18) Al: Like I think it might be husband and wife, it might be father and son. (0:16:23) Al: But yeah, yeah, it’s quite simplified, like (0:16:24) Codey: It sure is just farming simulator, but a cozy version though at least that’s what it looks like (0:16:33) Al: person character models and a few kind of things are clearly a little bit (0:16:39) Al: simplified, like the kind of buildings and stuff like that. (0:16:42) Al: But like the trees, I mean, it doesn’t look bad. (0:16:44) Al: Like certainly there’s like areas of like trees and grass that look quite nice. (0:16:44) Codey: No, not at all (0:16:49) Al: The animals look interesting kind of balance between (0:16:54) Al: Cartoony and real I think (0:16:55) Codey: Yeah, I think that me saying farming simulator but cozy is meant to be a compliment because (0:17:01) Al: Oh yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. (0:17:04) Codey: farming simulator they go hard so having it basically kind of be the quality of (0:17:09) Codey: that but be a little bit more of a cartoony or illustrated feel looks (0:17:14) Codey: really interesting and the 1.0 is coming on July 24th 25th and it’s also coming (0:17:19) Codey: to consoles on that day. (0:17:21) Al: Yeah, that was just like a hey, but we’re also coming to consoles on that day. I don’t (0:17:28) Al: think they really talked about consoles before. So honestly, impressive. I guess we’ll see (0:17:34) Al: how well the console versions run because obviously they’ll be using porting companies (0:17:38) Al: and they can be hit or miss depending on which one you have, as we found with Stardew. So (0:17:46) Al: yeah, it’ll be interesting to see because it’ll either be really impressive, like… (0:17:51) Al: Is that how you play games now? You only play games now? (0:18:02) Codey: things, random things come to Game Pass, so I’m never. (0:18:08) Codey: Yeah, so anytime I’m feeling a void in my life, I go to the Game Pass page and I’m (0:18:14) Codey: like, and I have a, this is what I wanted to play later page. (0:18:18) Codey: And then I go to that and then see what’s, or like anything that’s new or popular or (0:18:23) Codey: something like Coral Island was on my, even though I wasn’t going for Coral Island. (0:18:28) Codey: I was like, Oh, there it is. (0:18:31) Al: Next, we have Natsumon 20th Century Summer Vacation, which up until this point is a Japanese (0:18:38) Al: exclusive on Switch, I think. They have announced they’re coming to Steam, and on the Steam page, (0:18:48) Al: it says, in big letters, in English, the only English on the page, it says, “English will (0:18:54) Al: be available on August 6, 2024.” They also announced there was a DLC for the game. (0:19:01) Al: That’s all in Japanese, so I’m not going to talk about that just now. (0:19:06) Codey: Yup. And then, uh, give Matt’s who on Twitter, um, said that they, um, had (0:19:14) Codey: asked, they’d emailed, um, the developers were spike Chunsoft to find out, (0:19:21) Codey: um, if that means that the switch version is also coming, uh, to English. (0:19:27) Codey: Um, and their response was, um, that they don’t have any information to share. (0:19:32) Al: Yeah, you would think that they would do it, right? (0:19:34) Codey: and yes. (0:19:36) Al: Surely. (0:19:36) Codey: Some people are thinking, some people are thinking (0:19:38) Codey: that there’s a couple like game, not like direct style things (0:19:43) Codey: like happening in Japan soon. (0:19:46) Al: Ah, so they might announce it in one of them. Makes sense. Yeah. (0:19:46) Codey: And so maybe they’re going to announce it. (0:19:48) Codey: Yeah, so they don’t want to announce it to Gamatsu, (0:19:51) Codey: but they, it might be announced in something like that. (0:19:54) Al: I need to double check because I’m pretty sure the last one also did the same thing where they (0:20:00) Al: just came out in Japan and then they released on Steam and released the English language as well. (0:20:06) Al: I can’t remember what that one was called. Look, the game names are just so complicated. (0:20:13) Al: Um… (0:20:16) Codey: before you. Oh, Shin Chan, me and the professor on summer vacation. Wait, is Natsuma on Shin (0:20:16) Al: yeah that one I think yes me yes so yes no I don’t know so this is that so (0:20:24) Codey: Chan? Oh. (0:20:32) Al: it’s I believe no but maybe okay so Shinshan is not the same thing but it’s (0:20:42) Al: It’s a spiritual successor to summer vacation. (0:20:44) Codey: okay (0:20:46) Al: But now there’s also the new summer vacation game. (0:20:50) Al: Maybe. (0:20:52) Al: It’s really hard because there’s so little information on these games and actually in English. (0:20:57) Codey: is it one of the boku no natsu yes (0:20:58) Al: The new one, this new one is, yeah. (0:21:04) Al: But not Shun-chan. It’s not technically the same. (0:21:07) Al: So Shun-chan, me and the professor on summer vacation, I don’t think is technically… (0:21:13) Al: Yeah, so Wikipedia says the game has been described as a spiritual. (0:21:16) Al: This was definitely the game I was thinking of, so I didn’t realize it wasn’t actually an official Boku no Nats. (0:21:32) Codey: Not to you, sumi. (0:21:33) Al: I need to get Micah on the podcast to tell us, because he knows about all these games, and which one is what, and so I need him to explain this to me. (0:21:33) Codey: Yeah. (0:21:38) Codey: My– yeah. (0:21:43) Codey: OK, cool. (0:21:44) Codey: Well, I’ll leave it to Micah. (0:21:46) Al: I will definitely be having him on in the next couple of months, but I won’t spy a wolf. (0:21:51) Codey: Was, is it for Natsuman 20th century summer vacation? (0:21:56) Al: I said I’m not going to spoil it. Come on. (0:21:58) Codey: You have no information to share. (0:22:00) Al: I have no information to share, but I’ll also put some information somewhere else, (0:22:06) Codey: Okay, cool. (0:22:07) Al: because it’s like the Steam page saying “oh this is happening” and they’re like “ah we have no (0:22:11) Al: information to share”. Okay, sure, whatever. Roots of Patria have a 1.2 update coming out on July the (0:22:13) Codey: Right, right, right. (0:22:14) Codey: I’ll watch your Steam page. (0:22:23) Al: 31st, which is also the same day the (0:22:26) Codey: Yeah, the roots of Pacha, um, again, I’m excited to see if they will, if this will (0:22:31) Codey: be on game pass, because then I’ll start a new save. (0:22:35) Codey: Um, so I guess I have it on switch. (0:22:37) Codey: So I guess I could just play it on switch or did I play, I don’t (0:22:40) Codey: remember how I played this game. (0:22:42) Codey: Um, the update has a lot of really cool stuff. (0:22:45) Codey: Uh, there’s an update to the pets system and some of them you can upgrade to be (0:22:51) Codey: amount and in that it said that there’s a giant cave spider. (0:22:56) Codey: Um, shook because I didn’t know that there was a giant (0:22:59) Codey: cave spider in this game as a pet. (0:23:01) Codey: Uh, so I now want, yeah, there’s also a new way to water. (0:23:02) Al: I, yeah, I don’t, I don’t know what to say. (0:23:09) Codey: So instead of having to water everything, they basically have a sprinkler, (0:23:12) Codey: but it’s not a sprinkler. (0:23:14) Codey: It’s like, it’s a thing called an Ola where you just put water in us in the (0:23:20) Codey: central thing, and then it waters the, uh, surrounding eight blocks. (0:23:25) Al: Yeah, so this this had like irrigation lines, I think previously, which was the only way (0:23:30) Al: you watered. So this is just a new option for watering, which is cool. Also child labour. (0:23:34) Codey: Yeah. Uh, child labor. Yeah. Let’s, you want to expand on that. (0:23:41) Al: So yeah, I find this really funny because I was just like scrolling through it all and I’m like, (0:23:44) Al: oh, OK, cool, cool. Yeah, animals. That’s fine. Oh, there’s this some stuff about the school. (0:23:49) Al: Cool. And then the learning. So what’s a learning station? Let’s see. After building the school, (0:23:54) Al: you’ll get a learning station that can (0:23:55) Al: be placed in the fields, affecting a 7x4 area. After adding some contributions, the children will (0:24:01) Al: check it every morning to clean affected sheds and talk to the animals living inside, water and (0:24:06) Al: harvest plants, refill olives, pump irrigation pumps, harvest honey and harvest trees. So yeah, (0:24:12) Al: that’s child labour. Whoo! (0:24:14) Codey: - Child labor. (0:24:16) Al: Woo! (laughs) (0:24:18) Codey: It also coincides with the, (0:24:21) Codey: they have a new like development stage for your child. (0:24:23) Codey: So they go from being like a toddler to a school age student (0:24:27) Codey: and then, or not student, school age child. (0:24:30) Codey: So they go from being useless to being mildly useful, (0:24:32) Al: They’ve gone from being an inconvenience to being mildly useful. (0:24:33) Codey: which is why they’ve added the labor, I guess. (0:24:42) Codey: What an energy suck. (0:24:44) Codey: Now I’m… (0:24:46) Al: And that’s not what happens with actual children, right? (0:24:49) Al: Even if they are useful in some ways, they are still a drain on you emotionally and physically. (0:24:52) Codey: I thought you were going to say that’s not what happens, they’re very loving even when (0:25:02) Codey: they’re inconvenient, you still love them very much. (0:25:03) Al: No, well, yes, yes, but they are also a drain on you emotionally and physically. (0:25:04) Codey: You’re like, they always suck. (0:25:09) Codey: That’s true, that’s true, that’s- yep, that’s- yeah. (0:25:12) Al: I love my children. I love them most when they’re sleeping. (0:25:20) Codey: There are very few kids. (0:25:22) Codey: And then there’s just such a gamble about whether or not I would like mine, so I’m just not going to happen. (0:25:31) Al: Children are a gamble. Great. (0:25:32) Al: And… (0:25:33) Codey: There, a gamble. (0:25:34) Codey: You can also, other things that were added in this release, midday saves. (0:25:39) Codey: So before, if you wanted to save in the middle of the day, it would end your day. (0:25:44) Codey: So now you can say, oh, I just want to save and keep playing versus save and end the day. (0:25:48) Al: I wonder why they’ve restricted it to your bed when you don’t have to go to sleep now. (0:25:54) Al: That seems like a weird, like, you can save at any point in the day but you have to go to your bed to do it. (0:26:00) Codey: You take you nap and you just go you just go rot in bed for like an hour and that’s. (0:26:02) Al: But they’re not napping, they’re just saving. That’s it. (0:26:07) Al: But they don’t, they don’t. I’m watching it just now. They just stand next to it, (0:26:10) Codey: This is what this is what this is what I do. (0:26:10) Al: it saves, and then you’re still standing there. (0:26:14) Al: Like, what? I just, I don’t understand. Like, either you think that the (0:26:18) Al: it’s an important part of your game loop is that you have a day and it saves between them, right? I, (0:26:24) Al: personally, I think we’re past that. And I don’t think you should just do that. But like, (0:26:28) Al: or you let people save whenever from a menu, like, why this weird halfway house? (0:26:30) Codey: Yeah. (0:26:35) Al: Like, because then you get into the whole, oh, well, we don’t want people to like save scum. And (0:26:39) Al: I’m like, I don’t care. Why, why do you care what people are doing? Like, because they can still do (0:26:44) Al: out with the whole game. (0:26:46) Codey: Let people, let people. (0:26:48) Al: It just seems like such a weird restriction, like if you think that you should only save (0:26:52) Al: at the end of the day, fine. I think that’s silly, but fine, go for it. If you’re going (0:26:56) Al: to allow people to save whenever, allow them to save whenever, don’t put artificial restrictions (0:27:01) Al: on top of that. It’s like they didn’t want to add an extra menu. That’s what it feels (0:27:03) Codey: It’d do be a thing. (0:27:09) Al: like, right? They have the menu already to go to sleep, so they just added an extra item (0:27:13) Al: in the menu, and they’re like, they’re done, happy, stop moaning at us. That’s what it (0:27:16) Codey: Yeah, I mean, it’s fair. (0:27:18) Al: feels like. (0:27:22) Codey: Uh, another thing that they added was, uh, some different relationship mechanics. (0:27:26) Codey: So it sounds like now you can say when you only want to date one person versus you also (0:27:34) Codey: can like have it so that people don’t tell, tell others that you’re dating. (0:27:40) Al: Yeah, this is weird, right? Because they did already have unions, right? They’re not new. (0:27:42) Codey: Yeah. (0:27:45) Al: They already existed in the game. But something has changed, and neither of us played the (0:27:49) Al: game, I think, enough to actually understand what’s changing here. (0:27:52) Codey: Yeah, I never I never went to it. I never got to the union stage. So (0:27:56) Al: So I don’t know, if you wanted to do something with relationships that you couldn’t do, (0:28:02) Codey: most important thing you can smooch at your wedding there’s also a few new (0:28:03) Al: maybe you can do it now. (0:28:10) Codey: languages Korean being one of them I don’t remember the other one (0:28:16) Al: a traditional change. (0:28:18) Codey: but the most important thing they had some small quality of life things and (0:28:22) Codey: one of them is to have a transfer all or transfer matching options in storage (0:28:27) Codey: boxes and inventory I love this I love like if you have something in your menu (0:28:32) Codey: or in your inventory and it’s in the storage box and you can just be like (0:28:37) Codey: transfer the stuff that is already in there that is in my like just get it out (0:28:38) Al: Yeah, I (0:28:41) Codey: of my (0:28:41) Al: I use that feature in Stardew all the time (0:28:44) Codey: yeah (0:28:44) Al: It’s like especially in Stardew when you have like such limited boxes, right? (0:28:47) Codey: yeah (0:28:48) Al: You go up to a box you click the button you go to the next box you click the button and it’s like half your (0:28:52) Al: Inventory is gone. It’s great (0:28:53) Codey: yeah it also says that there’s new sorting methods which is great as well I (0:28:57) Al: Do they make any more sense in the Stardew sorting methods maybe (0:29:00) Codey: I don’t know, I’ve never… (0:29:02) Codey: I just… it’s something that I’ve… from playing Disney Dreamlight Valley, I really like the way that you can sort and do your inventory stuff in that game, so I’m just… I like seeing that in other games. (0:29:16) Al: Cool. Next we have Chill Town, who have a new update. The Auto Farming Update, which (0:29:24) Al: is coming out on the 28th of June. Fully Automate Watering and Harvesting. So I don’t know, have (0:29:31) Al: you watched the video for this Cody? I was so confused by this, because I was like, oh (0:29:32) Codey: I did. So the way that… (0:29:36) Al: so they’ve got like sprinklers and like the equivalent of Junimos or whatever. And then (0:29:42) Al: I watch the video and like it appears (0:29:46) Al: you like press a button and you go automate farming and your character goes in like (0:29:52) Al: waters each individual crop and harvests it. (0:29:52) Codey: Oh, yeah, I mean, I love I love this. (0:29:57) Codey: I love this idea that it’s like, OK, I’m going to go farm. (0:30:00) Codey: Let me do that. (0:30:01) Codey: And while I do that, I’m going to go to the bathroom (0:30:02) Al: Well, this is the thing. This is just like, I don’t, I don’t understand what, like, this (0:30:03) Codey: and I’m going to read something. (0:30:08) Al: is weird. Like, I don’t, I don’t. (0:30:10) Codey: It’s chill town. (0:30:12) Al: Well, this is the thing. I don’t understand. So you’re not playing the game. Like, it’s (0:30:13) Codey: You’re chilling. (0:30:15) Codey: You just watch the game play. (0:30:24) Codey: You were up to that point. (0:30:25) Al: and I, and I don’t mean, and I don’t mean, right, I don’t like, oh, you have, you should (0:30:33) Al: people will know I love automation in games. I love it. But for me, the automation in games, (0:30:39) Al: it frees you up time in the game to do other things. This is not doing that. This is just (0:30:46) Al: means you press one button and you leave it and it does the same thing over and over and (0:30:48) Codey: It… (0:30:51) Al: over again. (0:30:52) Codey: It frees up your time in the real. (0:30:56) Codey: It’s like Rusty’s retirement. (0:31:00) Codey: I love it. (0:31:03) Al: Rusty’s retirement is different, right? Because that the whole point of that game is you are (0:31:06) Al: telling somebody, hey, these are the things that you do, right? Like, you’re not actually (0:31:11) Al: controlling him. You’re telling him what to do. This is completely different. I just, I (0:31:15) Al: don’t, I don’t understand why anybody would want this feature. It seems weird to me. I (0:31:23) Codey: I love it. I really like multitasking. And one thing that I get stuck with in power washing (0:31:29) Codey: my leader, for example, is I put on my little silly little audio book. I wash powerfully, (0:31:37) Codey: and then I get four texts. And I’m like, for you know, a couple texts from different people (0:31:41) Codey: or a message or something like an email, and I’ll be like, Oh, I’ll check that once I finish (0:31:46) Codey: this wall. And then an hour and a half later, I’ve finished the entire building, and I check, (0:31:53) Codey: 10 messages. And I’m just like, it, it will because you go you so it’s like, Oh, (0:31:54) Al: I don’t think this is going to solve that problem for you Cody. (0:32:01) Codey: time to harvest my stuff, click auto harvest, check all my messages. (0:32:05) Al: not going to do that, you’ll just get distracted by something else instead. This is not going (0:32:10) Al: to solve your ADHD, Cody. That’s not what this is going to do. And I just, I can’t, (0:32:14) Codey: It’s supposed to. (0:32:15) Al: I can’t, it’s not. I just, I can’t imagine ever wanting to do this, because I, what am (0:32:23) Al: I doing while that’s happening? I’m not going to sit sitting at the screen, I’m just going (0:32:28) Al: to go TikTok. Like I don’t, I don’t. This is. (0:32:32) Codey: i’ll like play with my dog in between this i’ll that’s this one i’ll like get her i’ll either (0:32:37) Codey: check my messages or i’ll be like go get your ball and then we like throw the ball for a little bit (0:32:42) Codey: while it’s happening that’s the kind of stuff I would (0:32:44) Al: I love automation. This is not it. I don’t understand it. And if you are excited about this, (0:32:49) Al: you’re fine. I’m glad for you. I don’t, I don’t want it. I don’t understand it. It doesn’t make (0:32:50) Codey: Chiltown you do you you do you (0:32:57) Al: any sense to me. I know, but like, give me proper automation is what I’m like. I was excited and now (0:32:57) Codey: Well, you know what it’s toggle and you don’t have to do it what I’ve been (0:33:07) Al: I’m confused. Maybe, maybe. I do think the, the automating. Well, no. (0:33:08) Codey: Maybe that’s not maybe that’s the next thing (0:33:12) Codey: Speaking of the next thing (0:33:14) Al: Just before that, they did look like they had automated fishing as well. Now that, because (0:33:15) Codey: Okay (0:33:19) Al: when they went into the auto menu, let me just double check. Yeah, these got auto fishing. (0:33:25) Al: Now that does sound interesting, but we’ll see. I’ve still not played this game. It’s on my list. (0:33:30) Al: We’ll see. Sorry. I’ll let you do your segue now. Okay. (0:33:32) Codey: the next, next on our list. (0:33:39) Codey: Disney Dreamlight Valley, uh, is pulling me back in, um, just in time for (0:33:44) Al: Oh, disaster. (0:33:46) Codey: me after powerwash simulator ends. (0:33:49) Codey: Um, they’re going to have a new update called the lucky dragon update. (0:33:52) Codey: Uh, it looks like it’s adding, uh, Mulan, Mushu, possibly some other (0:33:56) Codey: cherry blossom items as well. (0:33:59) Codey: Um, cause there’s a lot of cherry blossoms in the picture and you have (0:34:03) Codey: that you’re wearing, uh, that have a lot of cherry blossoms on them. (0:34:06) Codey: Uh, this is called the, uh, I don’t, I mean, like she, they talk about (0:34:06) Al: Is there a link there? Is there a link between? (0:34:14) Codey: blossoms, like the perfect petal, perfect flower, um, and how not every (0:34:23) Al: It does look like the cherry blossom in the movie. Okay, fair enough. (0:34:26) Codey: Yeah, and then also like in the trailer, yeah, you got to be more specific (0:34:27) Al: It’s been a while since I’ve watched it. All I care about is the song. (0:34:33) Al: No, I do not need to be more specific, though, come on. (0:34:37) Codey: Some good songs in that movie (0:34:39) Al: Yeah, I know, but there’s one that’s the best, and you all know it. You’re all singing. (0:34:41) Codey: So (0:34:43) Codey: Yeah, it’s kind of a yikes um (0:34:46) Codey: I mean, it’s a good it’s a good song. It’s called the lucky dragon update. It’s coming on June 26th (0:34:51) Codey: So I think by the time this is out (0:34:54) Al: the day it comes out, yeah, same day so well so you’ll know more than us because (0:34:56) Codey: The day the day you are listening that if you are listening to this it’s out (0:35:02) Al: it’s out now well I’m sure we’ll talk about it in the next episode speaking of (0:35:04) Codey: Yeah, yep, I will play play it much (0:35:06) Al: updates smooshy come home have a new update the heart of the forest update (0:35:12) Al: and this adds some postgame content it’s out now and it adds some new areas some (0:35:18) Al: new skins and some new mushrooms yeah (0:35:24) Al: it looks like a pretty decent sized update for the game and that’s cool (0:35:29) Al: Sprout Valley speaking of small games that have pretty decent sized updates (0:35:34) Al: Sprout Valley have their summer update I think it was actually technically called (0:35:38) Al: like summer 2024 they’ve not got very imaginative names with their updates (0:35:42) Al: here they that adds some new biomes sand stone and jungle some new resources (0:35:51) Al: cactus and bamboo, new fish, sandfish. (0:35:54) Al: Stonefish and jadefish, new pets and pet buffs to increase their speed, travel, luck and energy. (0:36:02) Al: I mean honestly this feels like it might double the size of the game based on what I played which is pretty cool. (0:36:02) Codey: Yeah. Yeah, I don’t know. The fish are exclusive to the biomes. I’m assuming cactus is in sand (0:36:16) Codey: and bamboo is in jungle. Yeah, cool. Updating games. (0:36:22) Al: Speaking of updating games, Research Story is now officially Steam Deck compatible. (0:36:28) Codey: Does this make it more likely that you’ll play it? (0:36:33) Al: Yeah. Theoretically. I feel like they already added controller support. That’s really, (0:36:38) Al: like, when they say, like, playable, there’s… When Valve say whether a game is compatible (0:36:46) Al: with the Steam Deck or not, they have, like, five things that they say, and of the five things, (0:36:53) Al: and that’s controller support. The other ones, they might be annoying because it’s things like (0:37:00) Al: tech size, right? Which isn’t a huge issue for me. I’ve got pretty good eyes, (0:37:05) Al: and it’s things like, does it have its own keyboard, or do you have to pop up the keyboard (0:37:10) Al: and type in yourself? And, like, realistically, these games don’t have a lot of cases with that, (0:37:14) Al: so I don’t really care. If once every 10 hours of game I have to pop up the keyboard manually (0:37:20) Al: and type something in that is not the end of the world. (0:37:22) Al: So yeah, so the five things are the games default graphics configurations performs well on Steam Deck. (0:37:32) Al: That’s reasonably important, right, but for most of these farming games, (0:37:36) Al: unless they’re like big 3D stuff, they’re probably fine like that. (0:37:40) Al: The game shows Steam Deck controller icons. (0:37:43) Al: Yeah, important, but it’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t, right? (0:37:48) Al: All functionality is accessible when using the default controller configuration. (0:37:53) Al: Yeah, but like these will probably be really tiny things, right? (0:37:54) Codey: Yep, and the yep, and those are the three that research story has. The other two are still needs to be worked on, I think, but we’ll be fine. (0:38:07) Al: Hey, tiny text, because and so like, but this is the thing, it could be one word, right? (0:38:08) Codey: I get it because the text is small and maybe difficult to read I got it. (0:38:17) Al: Like they check everything, so if there’s one thing that is small and difficult to read, (0:38:21) Al: Then it’s marked as (0:38:22) Al: most of it is readable and it’s perfectly fine. The other thing is the game supports (0:38:29) Al: Steam Deck’s native display resolution but does not set it by default and may require you (0:38:35) Al: to configure the display resolution manually. It’s like okay I don’t care like oh no I need to (0:38:40) Codey: Yeah. (0:38:41) Al: go into the settings once. Okay great fantastic and yeah the other one that’s not listed here (0:38:48) Al: It is the keyboard because presumably that it does have its own keyboard now (0:38:51) Al: Okay. (0:38:52) Al: Um, but sometimes, sometimes they’ll pop up and say, Oh, you might need to open the (0:38:56) Al: keyboard to input text. (0:38:58) Al: And I’m like, that’s fine. (0:39:00) Al: That’s not the end of the world. (0:39:01) Al: It’s not great. (0:39:02) Al: I mean, the steam deck keyboard is not a good keyboard. (0:39:04) Al: It is a really slow, bad keyboard. (0:39:08) Al: So in game keyboards are always better than that, but like, it’s not like I’m playing (0:39:12) Al: text heavy games ever. (0:39:14) Al: So yeah, but yeah, it’s, it’s the added, as I say, the added controller support like last (0:39:21) Al: year, I feel like, so nothing. (0:39:22) Al: It’s always good when they’re fully compatible, so yeah, good fun. (0:39:36) Al: Far Magia This is the game that was announced by Marvelous. (0:39:38) Codey: for my farm agia. (0:39:43) Al: Technically a year ago, they announced it as Project Magia, but then they told us nothing (0:39:48) Al: about it. (0:39:50) Al: And then this year they announced it again (0:39:52) Al: I’ve been in Australia and told us very little, all they did was “Hey, here are the hot anime people!” (0:40:00) Al: And then, in the Nintendo Direct, suddenly we actually got some gameplay, so that’s exciting. (0:40:08) Al: So, it looks like you are, as I suspected, you are farming and then harvesting your monsters. (0:40:16) Al: And it’s really interesting because there are… (0:40:22) Al: It seems to be like you have tens of monsters. (0:40:28) Al: It’s not like Ooblets, where you grow and you have like five of them in your party. (0:40:34) Al: Like, this guy’s walking around with like 30 foxes. (0:40:38) Al: And it’s like “OK, this is suddenly very interesting. Oh my word, let’s get like 50 of our monsters and attack this massive dragon!” (0:40:48) Al: I am very interested. (0:40:51) Codey: Yeah. Uh, someone on Twitter said Pokemon, but make it fairytale. (0:40:56) Codey: So if you watch, if you see in the anime fairytale, uh, that’s what the person (0:41:00) Codey: thought. Uh, I also thought the animals, the monsters growing from plants was (0:41:03) Codey: really interesting. Um, like the Fox, when it’s a plant, it looks like a corn (0:41:08) Codey: plant and it looks like it’s just the tail that you can see. (0:41:12) Codey: And the tail is all bushy and kind of looks like corn. Um, it’s really cute. (0:41:14) Al: Yeah, it it’s a weird a weird decision to make I feel like it’s like yeah, they look like food (0:41:23) Al: But they’re animals (0:41:26) Codey: There are resources. (0:41:26) Al: Okay (0:41:28) Al: Fine (0:41:29) Al: Yeah, I don’t know. I’m intrigued (0:41:33) Al: It feels like it might be quite a deep and detailed game right because it’s an RPG (0:41:41) Al: Yeah, I have we’ll see what happens (0:41:44) Codey: Well, I mean that’s all you and if you want to cover that game, I can cover the next game with Johnny. (0:41:44) Al: Okay, right, let’s let’s get into this then, shall we? So Tales of the Shire. I feel like (0:41:50) Codey: Um, you know, I’ve been wanting to cover Tales of the Shire. (0:41:59) Al: I get whiplash with this game. Like, so I just I don’t know whether I’m excited about (0:42:03) Codey: - What? (0:42:08) Al: this game or not. I can’t I can’t explain it. But there’s something about the game that (0:42:14) Al: makes me go this is a bit weird. And I don’t know what it is. I mean, the character models (0:42:21) Al: I think are a bit confusing to my brain. Like, it’s not like they look bad, right? I’m not (0:42:24) Codey: Yeah. (0:42:26) Codey: Yeah. (0:42:27) Al: trying to say it’s not like, Oh, bad graphics, right? And I don’t want I don’t need people (0:42:30) Al: coming in going, Oh, it’s because of the switch. I don’t care. Shut up. Right? One, the switch (0:42:35) Al: can clearly have good graphics, right? Have you looked at Breath of the Wild? Come on, (0:42:38) Codey: - Yeah. (0:42:40) Al: It’s not that they look bad, it’s not that they’re like (0:42:46) Al: It’s just there’s something weird about them, and I can’t describe what (0:42:50) Codey: Well, I think that, so for me, it’s they feel chibi almost, but also they’re, they’re (0:42:57) Codey: hobbits. (0:42:58) Codey: They’re just, they, okay. (0:42:58) Al: Yeah, it’s not the proportions to me that’s confusing, right? Like, the proportions look (0:43:04) Al: like what I would expect from Hobbits, right? Because they’re Hobbits. I don’t know if it’s (0:43:09) Al: their facial expressions. I don’t know. Yeah, I don’t know. I think we’re gonna have to see. (0:43:19) Al: Like, I’m not saying I won’t play it. I will play it, of course. (0:43:24) Codey: Yeah, there’s there have been a lot of sneak peeks on site different sites. We looked at IGN and watched the IGN one (0:43:31) Codey: looked really cool (0:43:33) Codey: to me, you know, I saw the (0:43:37) Codey: It sure has farming and and cooking and fishing (0:43:42) Codey: I’m curious to see what more it is than other things (0:43:46) Al: I don’t think it is. I think it’s trying to be exactly what you expect it to be, which (0:43:52) Al: is Stardew but Hobbits. I wouldn’t expect any more. I would almost be a bit disappointed (0:44:00) Al: if it was more than that, because it’s Tales of the Shire, right? It’s not Lord of the (0:44:04) Codey: Yeah. (0:44:08) Al: Rings, it’s not The Hobbit, it’s Tales of the Shire. And the Shire is meant to be the (0:44:12) Al: a place where things don’t happen. (0:44:14) Codey: but they also don’t have like, (0:44:17) Codey: at least we never really saw like mining or anything. (0:44:20) Codey: Like everyone there was a farmer (0:44:22) Al: Yeah. It sucks. It’s the Shire. (0:44:23) Codey: or a gardener or something. (0:44:25) Codey: So like, it just, (0:44:27) Al: They’re not going to be mining. Those are… (0:44:28) Codey: but SARDU has like other things. (0:44:31) Codey: It also has kind of a magic system underneath (0:44:32) Al: Yeah. Okay. (0:44:34) Codey: like the judamos and all of that. (0:44:36)

My name is Codey and we’re here today to talk about cottagecore games. (0:00:35) Jonny: And my name is Jonnie. (0:00:37) Jonny: Woo! (0:00:41) Codey: Woo! As always transcripts are available in the show notes and on the website and today’s topic is Fae Farm. Woo! (0:01:00) Codey: So I am an added human on this so I was not initially on Fae Farm so I did not play the game but I am here to ask Johnny all of the very important questions about Fae Farm and make sure that we get all the coverage. You’re gonna get grilled. Did you prepare for the test? Did you study for the test? (0:01:24) Jonny: I prepared for all of my other school tests. (0:01:26) Codey: You [laughs] (0:01:30) Codey: - What was your scores on most tests? (0:01:34) Codey: Okay. (0:01:38) Codey: Well, that’s great. (0:01:40) Codey: So, yeah, you’re gonna do great. (0:01:42) Codey: Okay, so we’re gonna talk about Faith Farm. (0:01:46) Codey: And before that, we have some news to go over. (0:01:49) Codey: Concerned Ape just trying to dominate the news cycle as always. (0:01:53) Codey: But before that, Johnny, what have you been up to? (0:01:56) Jonny: have I been up to? This is a game that I really like, and it’s called Cassette Beasts, and this week they came out with their DLC. I should have looked up the name of the DLC, it’s like Pair of the Unknown, or something to that effect, and it’s excellent. If you like Cassette Beasts, (0:02:14) Jonny: which everybody should like Cassette Beasts, this is more Cassette Beasts. It doesn’t. (0:02:20) Jonny: It adds stuff in the way you want DLC to add stuff, where it’s like, that’s cool, (0:02:25) Jonny: extra world build. (0:02:26) Jonny: I’m playing it on Xbox. (0:02:27) Jonny: I think I did play it initially on Game Pass, and then I enjoyed it so much. (0:02:41) Codey: What are you playing it on? (0:02:46) Codey: Okay. (0:02:47) Codey: With the game pass. (0:02:55) Jonny: I just wanted to. (0:02:56) Jonny: I don’t think the DLC is available through Game Pass, I think you have to buy that separately. (0:03:09) Jonny: And the game is only like, the game is really cheap. (0:03:13) Jonny: I get the feeling it’s like 25 bucks in New Zealand, which would put it like, probably below. (0:03:20) Codey: Yeah, so I’m seeing it on Steam, it’s $20, but less, it’s currently 25% off. (0:03:29) Jonny: Yeah, so I think it’s the same thing on Xbox, I think there’s a sale on there, so… (0:03:33) Jonny: Um, yeah, it’s just like, if you like Pokémon, and you know, you want to play a game that’s actually fun, um, play Cassette Beasts and don’t play Pokémon. (0:03:41) Codey: Oh, the developer is currently playing right now on something, I don’t know what this is. (0:03:51) Jonny: that was really dangerous to tell me why we’re in the middle of recording an episode you should play cassette beasts but I keep saying that to everybody so anyway I feel like that’s all I’ve really been really been doing oh the idea of the thing is like Marvel snap which we very occasionally talk about on the show is still really good and really fun. (0:03:52) Codey: Yeah, I have. (0:03:53) Codey: I’m sorry, we’ll try and get through this really quickly. (0:04:00) Codey: But yeah, I have not played Cassette Beast, I’m sorry. (0:04:07) Codey: I know I should. (0:04:14) Codey: Okay. (0:04:18) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:04:20) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:04:21) Jonny: I’m still sticking with that, and I feel like it’s way longer than I expected to stick with a mobile card game, but it’s just very good, very fun. (0:04:32) Codey: big enjoing. (0:04:33) Codey: Okay, yeah, I don’t play that either. (0:04:38) Codey: ‘Cause that beast looks really cute though. (0:04:40) Codey: If I had time to play a game on like a console, (0:04:45) Codey: that would be what I would probably be playing. (0:04:47) Jonny: Yeah. What have you been up to? (0:04:47) Codey: I have been up to insect stuff, woo. (0:04:52) Codey: So I had, I went and harassed legislators (0:04:59) Codey: the state capitol last week. (0:05:02) Codey: and was like, “hey, we need people to support insects and insect conservation and no one’s in charge of that right now.” (0:05:08) Codey: and that’s an issue. (0:05:09) Codey: and I got three of them to say, “yes, that is an issue. Let’s write legislation to make it someone’s problem.” (0:05:15) Codey: So that’s cool. Excited about that. Just gotta like, contact them now with some draft legislation, which is cool. (0:05:23) Codey: I also had this thing called the Great Insect Fair, which is my university’s like, big extension outreach things. (0:05:32) Codey: about insects, so everyone that does insect science at my university has like, a little table and they talk about their research. (0:05:39) Codey: We had over 3,000 people show up, which was great. (0:05:44) Codey: My club made $1,800, which is also great because we use that to support students. (0:05:51) Codey: Yeah. (0:05:51) Jonny: That’s pretty amazing that’s a lot of people to bug you guys Ahhhhhh… laughs (0:05:59) Codey: We bugged them actually (0:06:02) Codey: Cuz we had people hold like we had at cockroaches and Tarantulas and scorpions and things that people could hold We had I brought my bearded dragon and someone else also brought rats and so you could feed them Little mealworms, which is really fun Yeah for games I’ve been playing I’m still playing Pokemon go and I actually (0:06:29) Codey: I’m going to Hawaii in a week and I just found out that there’s a specific Pokemon that’s only available in Hawaii. (0:06:37) Codey: So I’m pretty stoked about that. So I’m gonna get a bunch of Comfey and bring them back for people. Yeah. Have you not? (0:06:44) Jonny: Nice, I’m still shocked at how big Pokemon Go is. (0:06:47) Jonny: Like, I just… I don’t like Pokemon Go. I just… I didn’t play after the first week. It’s not for me. (0:06:56) Codey: Okay. They’ve definitely fixed a lot and like made it a lot more. (0:07:02) Codey: Enjoyable and easier for like new people to start, which is really nice and yeah I still I still play it every day. I play that every day. I play Pikmin Bloom every day. Something I don’t play every day but I wish I remembered it every day is my Tetris game. I now have 382,000 points. (0:07:27) Jonny: So you are getting ever closer to the million you need for this cruise. (0:07:31) Jonny: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What do you mean either one million or two million? (0:07:32) Codey: Either one million or two million but yes. Depends on the cruise. (0:07:38) Codey: Some cruises are a million, some cruises are two million. It depends on which one you want. (0:07:39) Jonny: Okay. (0:07:43) Jonny: I am still very much in the category of this is a scam, Cody. (0:07:45) Codey: I’m excited. (0:07:48) Jonny: I feel like if you get on this cruise, you’re going to be like kidnapped, and then we’re going to turn this into a real crime podcast where we’re like trying to track you down. (0:07:57) Codey: Well currently all of the cruises that they have are sold out so. (0:08:02) Codey: There’s two million and five million and let’s see they had five cruises available. One was a seven-day Alaska cruise. Actually there were two seven-day Alaska cruises. There was a five-day Mexican Riviera cruise and then a five-day cruise. This doesn’t say where. Western Caribbean cruise goes to various ports starts in flow write-up. (0:08:32) Codey: Oh and then comes back to Florida. (0:08:34) Codey: Interesting. (0:08:36) Jonny: Okay, I like the point of getting on a cruise in Florida would be to not come back to Florida (0:08:41) Codey: right? I don’t want to come back. I just like, I think that one of the cruises went like some of the Alaskan cruises start you in Vancouver, British Columbia and it ends in Alaska so then you have to find a way back. So that’s like interesting to me why the other like that the other one you come back. Yeah these are the crews these are these are cruises that (0:09:11) Codey: are booked for the April April 2024 sailing there’s a couple of them there is another one that’s April 22nd April 29th so they have a couple different embarkings of these cruises but they’re all currently sold out but it doesn’t matter because I don’t have the money anyway or the points anyway there are 2 million or 5 million depending on which cruise but I did want to see one (0:09:41) Codey: for 1 million. The other game that I’m still playing daily is Usagi Shima which is the one that I played the adorable bunny collection game that I played with Al. I am only missing one bunny and I am about to Google it because I don’t know how to get this one bunny. Also some of the bunnies are like we like. (0:10:11) Codey: Our favorite toy is currently a question mark and I’m like that’s interesting. I have everything. I’ve purchased everything. (0:10:19) Codey: Like anytime I look at these The store there’s nothing that I don’t have so like How is the your favorite toy not not there? (0:10:31) Codey: I don’t know if she’s gonna the developer is gonna like release more. I don’t know but Very grumpy about that (0:10:40) Jonny: Maybe you just haven’t done the secret bunny handshake password to unlock the secret item (0:10:46) Codey: I must not have. I do still have some bunnies that I need to like become their best friend. (0:10:53) Codey: So like think of like Stardew Valley where you have hearts for everyone. (0:10:58) Codey: There are some bunnies that I still need to do hearts for. (0:11:01) Codey: Uh yeah and that’s what we’ve been up to. (0:11:07) Codey: Whoo! Okay so we’ve got some news. First up is Wild Mender. (0:11:16) Codey: And it is out now on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation. So this is the game where it’s a desert gardening survival game where you find like a spring in the garden or in the desert and you’re using that spring and bringing things back to that spring to like rejuvenate the world. (0:11:35) Codey: And it says also you’re cleansing the corruption that turned the world into the near dead wasteland before you. They literally say, “Or just make a pretty garden.” (0:11:46) Codey: That works too. Interesting. So, yeah, this is currently $25 on Steam. (0:11:55) Codey: I just realized I didn’t. Oh, Windows. Windows only. No Mac. (0:12:02) Codey: And they also said that if you share your garden screenshot in their Discord, (0:12:08) Codey: you enter a competition to win a plushie. They have two plushies. (0:12:13) Codey: the third. (0:12:13) Jonny: And this frog plushie looks so derpy it’s kinda great. (0:12:16) Codey: It is really… it kind of is giving me from Futurama that frog from… (0:12:24) Codey: It’s not a frog, it’s a toad. (0:12:24) Jonny: Yes, yes it absolutely is (0:12:30) Codey: Hypnotoad. (0:12:31) Codey: It’s giving me Hypnotoad vibes. (0:12:32) Jonny: Yep. 100% (0:12:33) Codey: Yeah, what are you… what are your thoughts on Wild Mender? (0:12:37) Codey: Are you a Wild Mender? (0:12:38) Codey: Is this up your alley or… (0:12:39) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:12:39) Jonny: No, it doesn’t look like that sort of game for me, because I’m not a big survival game person. (0:12:46) Jonny: I like something a little bit more directed, I think. (0:12:50) Jonny: But I like the idea of what this is trying to do. (0:12:53) Jonny: So I feel like if I was feeling like playing a survival game, I would be keen to try this one, because of the sort of more gardening style aspect rejuvenating the land. (0:13:04) Jonny: I think that’s really compelling to me, and something that I’ve kind of wanted. (0:13:07) Jonny: I think in one of the first episodes. (0:13:09) Jonny: was on, Al and I kind of talked about like the idea of you know being able to change the landscape in a farming game which this is obviously sort of getting into but probably more in that survival game sort of way rather than I’m kind of more hoping for it on a smaller scale right where it’s maybe a little bit more directed and bigger impacts than I think you would see in this sort of game but it looks cool. I think if you, you know, like a survival game and like a farming game this looks like a really fun fun little crossover to try. (0:13:44) Codey: Yeah, they do say that they Allows you to customize your experience from adjusting the difficulty all the way down to toggling sandstorms on and off There’s a lot of options to ensure that you can make the world work for you So maybe like you can get rid of a lot of the survival aspects And kind of be in like creativity mode a la minecraft, so (0:14:09) Jonny: Yeah, seems cool. (0:14:12) Codey: Next up is spell (0:14:14) Codey: and secrets this now has a release date this is the gosh what did he say Harry Potter without the turf so this is Harry yeah yeah if you really liked the world of Harry Potter and you want to go to a magical school and defend your magical school but (0:14:27) Jonny: Yep, that was… (0:14:29) Jonny: I watched the trailer and I was like “Wow, this looks like Harry Potter, but there’s no problematic people…” (0:14:35) Jonny: Well, there’s no problematic people that we know of involved. (0:14:44) Codey: you also believe that trans women are women because they are this is the game for you so yeah you it’s the release date is November 9th it’s coming out on switch PlayStation 5 Xbox series s and X and Steam and PC and the new trailer that they have did you watch the trailer Johnny there’s curling (0:15:10) Jonny: I did. I did. (0:15:12) Jonny: Oh, I might have missed the curling in there, but that… (0:15:15) Codey: at one point they’re not doing it in they’re doing it like on grass it’s like a turf but it’s it’s 100% curling it’s at about 38 seconds in (0:15:16) Jonny: Bye. (0:15:26) Jonny: Sorry, just… (0:15:28) Jonny: I was not expecting both uses of the word “terf” to come up in this conversation, but here we are. (0:15:34) Jonny: Yup. (0:15:38) Codey: oh my gosh you’re not wrong yeah (0:15:44) Codey: so they show you playing wizard jet let’s probably just chess but they show you playing chess and then right after the chess part they show curling but it’s magical curling it’s really interesting (0:15:58) Jonny: I think the thing that really… I can’t remember the name of the game but it was kind of like Magica or something and it was just kind of a game where you ran around as wizards and you kind of combined spells and like they had lots of weird elemental effects. This game kind of gives me similar vibes to that where it’s kind of like that 45 degree overhead sort of like action-adventure sort of vibe and just really playing off like “hey people just really like Harry Potter and this is kind of just like… (0:16:10) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:16:28) Jonny: um uh you know trying to do that and make it fun um and again I think it’s doing a thing that I kind of really like at the moment which is um games kind of being clear about what they are and being simpler like so many particularly AAA games at the moment are just so big and bloated and over complicated um and they’re trying to be all things to all people and this looks like a game It’s like hey, we’re a spells action adventure game Like you make your own character, that looks cool, you’re out of school Like there’s a lot of familiarity around it around just making what looks like a fun action adventure game. So this looks fun (0:17:10) Codey: yeah it looks really cute um it gives me it reminds me like the top-down style like you said like the 45 degree angle kind of reminds me of like the gauntlet series I don’t know if you ever played gauntlet but I loved that series and the fact that like when you open a door it like reveals the room behind it but until then it’s just kind of like empty space I don’t know it just it’s it’s It’s giving gauntlet, it’s giving… (0:17:40) Codey: It just seems like it’d be really fun. (0:17:43) Codey: And the fact that you can play with two people simultaneously, (0:17:45) Codey: so you and a friend can be exploring this world together, (0:17:49) Codey: is really cool. (0:17:50) Codey: So, yeah, Spells and Secrets releasing on the 9th of November on all of the platforms at the same time. (0:17:59) Codey: And they will have a physical release for a couple of them, (0:18:02) Codey: but it’s, I think, at a different time. (0:18:04) Codey: Spirit of the Island is getting a console release, (0:18:10) Codey: and this game is already out now on Steam for $18. (0:18:17) Codey: And at the time of recording, it’s 55% off, so it’s only $8. (0:18:22) Codey: But I don’t know if this is going to be there. (0:18:26) Codey: It says it’s got, like, a, I think, 44-minute– (0:18:31) Codey: 44-hour countdown, so I don’t know if it’s still there or not. (0:18:34) Codey: But I did see on their Twitter that they had another. (0:18:40) Codey: sale recently. They’re part of an indie sale. So I think that they’re on a lot of sales. So definitely keep your eye out for that if you want the Steam version. But the physical versions. So they have PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and S, and the Nintendo Switch. All getting physical releases. And oops sorry the retail version is only. PlayStation 5 and Switch. But they’re all coming out on… what’s the date? Where is it? Thank you. The 19th of October. (0:19:16) Jonny: 19th of October. (0:19:18) Jonny: I think this is kind of one of those games that’s in the category of “I would quite like to try when it comes to consoles, and now it’s coming to consoles.” (0:19:28) Jonny: It’s coming at a really busy time, so I feel like it might be one of those ones that, unfortunately, goes on the backburner until I get a bit of space. (0:19:30) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:19:37) Jonny: But really excited for it. (0:19:49) Codey: just the fact that they have a Paradise Edition, I guess, so on the physical releases for the PS5 and the Switch, they have this thing called a Paradise Edition where you get like stickers and a cute little tourist guide, but there are no prices available. Oh, $25, just kidding, (0:20:05) Codey: $25 is what they will be. I don’t know how much more of the Paradise Edition is, but (0:20:12) Codey: all of the console games will be $25 no matter where you are, euros or dollars. (0:20:19) Codey: It’s probably more for you, isn’t it, Donnie? (0:20:21) Codey: Yeah. (0:20:21) Jonny: Uhhh, I’m guessing it will be more for us. (0:20:24) Jonny: It will be probably more like $35 where I am. (0:20:25) Codey: Dang! (0:20:28) Jonny: But our dollars are… (0:20:35) Codey: Unfortunate, okay, and then yeah, Concerned Date just trying to dominate the, oh and I think Al said this, just trying to own the news cycle, right? (0:20:46) Codey: He’s just trying to make sure that every time we have podcasts, we have something to talk about and we bring them up again. (0:20:53) Codey: So for Haunted Chocolatier, he posted, Concerned Date posted four new screenshots as a thank you for the fact that he now has a million followers on Twitter, which is bananas. (0:21:05) Codey: Um, what do you think of these screenshots, Johnny? (0:21:08) Jonny: Yep, these look like screenshots from a game they’re concerned I’ve made. (0:21:12) Jonny: Like… (0:21:16) Jonny: I don’t want to downplay it, but I’m a little bit like… (0:21:19) Jonny: Until there’s real news, like screenshots are just screenshots, right? (0:21:23) Jonny: Like, yep, that’s… I don’t know. (0:21:25) Jonny: I didn’t… probably look particularly deep at them, because I was just like, (0:21:29) Jonny: “Yes, these look like, you know, ones of forest, ones…” (0:21:32) Jonny: I can’t even remember them, I’m reopening it, but yeah, like there’s the, you know, the library, (0:21:39) Jonny: I think we’ve seen before, a house, a fountain, and yes, these are like… (0:21:43) Jonny: These could be locations in Stardew Valley, except for the fact that we know that they’re not locations in Stardew Valley. (0:21:48) Codey: Mm-hmm. We know that they’re in a different game. (0:21:50) Jonny: That’s… yeah. (0:21:53) Jonny: Um, and I’m not trying to be down on it, it’s just more, “I don’t really want to be…” (0:21:58) Jonny: Like, I want to get excited for Haunted Chocolate here when it is close to coming out, (0:22:02) Jonny: not when it’s just a thing that we don’t know any more. (0:22:06) Codey: Yeah, I’m usually the same, but I do love the conspiracy theory, like people on Twitter who are nitpicking every little thing that they see in these screenshots. (0:22:20) Codey: I do love that people, when people get really hyped like that. (0:22:23) Codey: So for example, in the house, it looks like it’s a shop because there’s a shop portion of his house and then there’s like a little kitchen and then the bedroom. (0:22:32) Codey: No bathroom. (0:22:33) Codey: Just realized I don’t think he’s ever made is there our bathrooms (0:22:36) Codey: Are there bathrooms in any concerned ape things? (0:22:38) Codey: Just people just don’t have to go to the bathroom? (0:22:40) Codey: People in concerned apes world do not have bodily functions confirmed Um… (0:22:41) Jonny: I don’t recall dipping. (0:22:49) Jonny: So now you’ve opened this door, it’s not going to close that quickly. (0:22:54) Jonny: I was reading a book, like I really got into lit RPG style books, you know fantasy style RPG books, but it’s kind of often heavily inspired by video games. (0:23:05) Jonny: And one of the books I was reading recently, I can’t even remember which one, but I addressed it by basically being in this world, I didn’t want to address bathroom stuff, which you never address in books anyway, but they explicitly referenced the fact that magic just makes the poo disappear. (0:23:15) Codey: Mm-hmm Okay There’s just you take a magic pill or something and then that sits at the bottom it sits at the bottom of your gastrointestinal system and Any time anything gets within a certain distance of it. It’s like magicked away. Where does it go? (0:23:20) Jonny: No, just the magic. (0:23:22) Jonny: Yup. (0:23:23) Jonny: Yup. (0:23:24) Jonny: Well, see, that’s the- Well, that’s the fun thing, right? (0:23:41) Codey: Can you like make it go somewhere? Can you make it go to your enemy’s house? (0:23:47) Jonny: it’s never explained where it goes but but presumably (0:23:49) Jonny: it does go somewhere so maybe there is somewhere that is just you know the entire collection of humanity’s poo (0:23:55) Codey: Pooh Island. Maybe. Interesting. Well, in this screenshot of the shop, there’s like a little creature in the back that kind of looks like a thylacine to me, but it’s like obviously a, (0:24:10) Codey: you probably know all about thylacines because you’re down there. You don’t know what a thylacine is. So a thylacine is a, well it was a (0:24:11) Jonny: What’s a thylacine? What’s that in human words? (0:24:18) Jonny: I only know human words. (0:24:25) Codey: marsupial that looked kind of like a dog that existed in Australia, but the last one was killed in like the 1920s. So we have like some, but you’re down there. I know, I know. I got the Kiwis. (0:24:36) Jonny: Cody, Cody, I’m in New Zealand. We do not have the marsupials. That sounds like some Australian nonsense that’s like… (0:24:42) Jonny: Yeah, we’re in New Zealand we have birds. We love birds. That’s that’s our thing. We like dinosaurs. We’re way cool. (0:24:53) Codey: But someone on the Twitter said– (0:24:55) Codey: so saw this like Thylacine-looking little adorable thing and they said– (0:24:59) Codey: This is– I’m gonna credit them. Who is it? Mads. Start up with Mads. (0:25:05) Codey: Said, “Is that one of the animals you put the skeleton together for on Ginger Island?” (0:25:10) Codey: So possibly I’ve– so I’ve not ever done Ginger Island, so I don’t know. (0:25:10) Jonny: How interesting I don’t think so it doesn’t (0:25:19) Codey: But there’s this little creature, so that’s a deep cut that someone had. (0:25:25) Codey: Second screenshot of them in the forest. He’s using a bow and arrow. (0:25:34) Jonny: I mean, sure, but like, isn’t it just kind of like the slingshot? (0:25:38) Jonny: I mean, yes, but functionally. (0:25:38) Codey: No, it’s got a bow and arrow. It’s very clearly a bow and arrow. (0:25:42) Codey: No, it’s different. It’s different. (0:25:47) Codey: You’re at like a fountain, and it’s really the mermaid fountain. It’s really pretty. (0:25:54) Codey: And then, yeah, I guess there’s not much to say about the library other than the fact that (0:25:58) Jonny: actually so the thing that gets me excited and it’s from the forest screenshot is the inventory view um so it has like uh what I presume is a tool slot uh where it looks like there’s a stick or something in there and then there’s like a bow that’s selected and there’s a present and something else so it looks like a different version of the inventory system to stardew valley which for me is really exciting because that’s the thing I don’t like about stardew valley (0:26:04) Codey: uh-huh (0:26:19) Codey: Yeah. (0:26:20) Codey: And you also have a health bar. (0:26:26) Codey: With hit points in it. (0:26:27) Jonny: Yes. (0:26:28) Jonny: Yes, with hit points and… (0:26:31) Codey: Yeah. (0:26:32) Codey: And then is that a bowling ball or a coconut? (0:26:36) Jonny: I’m not sure what that is, because it’s definitely not a bowling ball, because there’s too many holes. (0:26:42) Jonny: I also think it’s… (0:26:42) Codey: They might bowl differently, you never know. (0:26:44) Jonny: I also don’t think it’s a coco… I don’t know what it is, but yeah, it looks… (0:26:49) Jonny: The two options feel like bowling ball and coconut, and I feel like it’s neither of those. (0:26:54) Jonny: Maybe it’s a chocolate? That would make sense. (0:26:57) Jonny: I’m gonna say it’s a chocolate. (0:26:59) Codey: Okay it’s a chocolate bowling ball. Okay so yeah those are the screenshots and our ramblings about them and the twitter comments about them. (0:27:12) Codey: Confirmation of archery which we got a hint at with started 1.6 last week when we talked about it but by we I mean Kevin L. But concerned ape was not done he wanted us to talk about him (0:27:29) Codey: so uh when was this yesterday he posted hats on cats and dogs so these are it’s just and it’s just cats and dogs from persoupsardou question mark haunted talk the tier question mark no no idea but they have hats on (0:27:55) Jonny: I feel like these are from Stardew, the only one I’m not sure about is the bottom left image, (0:28:02) Jonny: I’m not quite sure where that one is. But anyway, hats look cute on catsanddoll. (0:28:05) Codey: But yeah, they do. And there’s a big old bow on one of the dogs. So we’ve got like a cowboy hat. (0:28:13) Codey: We’ve got like, I don’t know what to call the hat on the top right. What would you call that hat? (0:28:21) Codey: It’s got a feather in it. (0:28:24) Jonny: uh I am not a hat expert so I don’t know what to call any of these hats like it’s uh it kind of reminds me of like the zoro style zoro yeah (0:28:33) Codey: Okay, the bottom. (0:28:35) Codey: Ooh, yeah, yeah, Zorro style hat. (0:28:42) Codey: I’m sure that Gaucho hat is what people have called it online, or Zorro hat. (0:28:51) Codey: Zorro hat or Gaucho hat. (0:28:54) Codey: Al probably loves that we’re diving this deep into these little pictures. (0:28:58) Codey: Probably not going to edit this out at all. (0:29:01) Codey: Um, the bottom left hat looks like if (0:29:05) Codey: a grandma was like, “I need to go to the market today.” (0:29:10) Codey: This is the type of hat that she’d put on, you know? (0:29:13) Jonny: Yeah, this looks like the one of the first hats that the kittens sell you. (0:29:18) Jonny: So the kittens sell you the hats? (0:29:20) Jonny: Mouse? (0:29:20) Jonny: Is a mice who sells you the hats? (0:29:22) Codey: think it’s mice. And then the bow is like the gigantic obnoxiously large bow. I would think like this bow is like Lady and the Tramp style bow. Like one of the one of the big bows that Lady had that’s like way too big for her little tiny body. So yeah, hats on cats and dogs and some screenshots. (0:29:22) Jonny: God. (0:29:23) Jonny: Yeah. (0:29:48) Jonny: And none of this is actually news, because it’s just pictures. (0:29:50) Codey: Just picture. (0:29:52) Codey: And speculation. Woo! (0:29:57) Codey: Since we love pictures and speculation, but possibly, whatchamacallit, video and speculation. (0:30:06) Codey: Oh my gosh. (0:30:08) Codey: Lego Animal Crossing. (0:30:14) Jonny: Yeah, so the video just shows like minifigs and it had like, you know, your classic characters from Animal Crossing. So you’ve got like Isabel and Tom Nook and a few others, which is cool. But I think the real speculation is are they going to be real Animal Crossing LEGO sets coming? And I feel like that seems very likely, given how much LEGO (0:30:44) Jonny: loves doing IP crossover stuff now. I would be very surprised if it wasn’t. And the more I thought about it, the more I thought it made sense because you could do everything from, you know, (0:30:58) Jonny: Nook Store to the museum. You know, you could go back to some of the old games and do like the coffee shop. You could do like the play a house, all sorts of things. Like it just feels like a really really natural collaboration. (0:31:14) Jonny: and a collaboration that is going to make many of us agree. (0:31:20) Codey: I mean that’s my thing is like is this hinting at figurines and like sets that you can purchase or is this hinting at like a video game because they have like I mean but like could they I mean is that it does say minifigure what okay when the balloon goes up over again this is an 11 second video y’all we’re really okay it says lego the lego logo and the (0:31:29) Jonny: Oh, I… did not give video game 5% (0:31:50) Codey: minifigure the minifigure I don’t know what that means our trademarks of the lego group I don’t (0:31:58) Jonny: Presumably it’s the trademark that they use for like because they I think they’ve done some blind box sort of stuff With with the minifigs like the the Lego the Lego people That would be my working assumption (0:32:14) Codey: I mean you could also, I mean you could have Tom Nook from every generation in this too because he looks like he’s wearing New Horizons, his New Horizons outfit, but he could wear, (0:32:27) Codey: you could get him wearing his wild world outfit, you know, like there’s, I feel like they’re gonna make a lot of money off of this. (0:32:35) Codey: This is from Nintendo of America by the way, I don’t think we said who tweeted this. (0:32:42) Codey: And yeah, people are just talking about. (0:32:44) Codey: How they’re ready to lose money and ready to be broke in the comments. (0:32:48) Jonny: Yeah, like I’ve been on the border of becoming a LEGO person for a long time and the thing that’s kind of held me at bay is I’m not big into most of the IPs that they’ve done collabs with, (0:32:49) Codey: So. (0:32:59) Codey: Oh yeah. (0:33:01) Codey: Yep, I don’t have money so… (0:33:08) Codey: That’s what stopped me. (0:33:11) Codey: And when I do have money it goes to my dogs. So yeah. (0:33:15) Codey: That’s the news. (0:33:18) Codey: So Johnny we’re here to talk about Faith Farm. So what… (0:33:20) Jonny: Whoo (0:33:29) Codey: Faith Farm, what is it? How are you? What are your thoughts? (0:33:34) Jonny: So at its core, Fey Farm is another iteration take on the Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, (0:33:45) Jonny: Story of Seasons, whichever one you want to sort of pick as the base. But it’s another iteration of that formula. So it’s farming… it’s probably more in the crafting end of the spectrum, (0:33:58) Jonny: so it’s a lot more crafting driven than it is farming driven. Farming is more of a thing (0:34:04) Jonny: in the game, rather than sort of being a central point. But it’s, you know, you… I think the starting is you have sailed to the island where the stuff is happening. Anyway, you’re a new resident and they’re like “hey there’s an old abandoned farm, would you like it?” You say yes, (0:34:24) Jonny: you start clearing up the farm and, you know, doing the quests and all of those sorts of things. So (0:34:30) Jonny: At its base, like the core gameplay loop, it is one of one of the most popular games (0:34:35) Codey: Yeah, looking at the launch trailer, it looks very Animal Crossing-esque, but with farming and magic. (0:34:43) Jonny: uh it’s so it looks that way and uh maybe maybe we’ll get into the so so I have a very conflicted take on this game right so if I was going to summarize my overall thoughts is that um this game plays really well but overall I do not enjoy this game because it’s missing some really really core elements and it’s helped me understand the things that I like in these sorts of games, but it is missing some really cool elements which (0:34:57) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:34:59) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:35:13) Jonny: are primarily around things like the story and the characters, which was very surprising to me because in a game like Fei Farm, and I guess probably to which probably just very quickly talk about why it’s called Fei Farm is that there are theories in the world, there is magic which we’ll talk about in a little bit, there is a theory realm which I have only really just got access to and it’s quite sparse but it kind of just seems like another area (0:35:44) Jonny: theories in it. So my expectation was that the story and interacting with the characters was going to be kind of a big part of the game. And weirdly it’s like yes there are quests and the quests drive a lot of what you do, but the characters are so non-factors in this game it is shocking. Like on day one you kind of learn that none of these people (0:36:13) Jonny: think interesting to say, like there is no interesting dialogue, they are not particularly distinctive like some of them have distinctive looks you’re like oh maybe this is the cool one there’s very few of the characters that are romanceable and the romanceable ones feel like they’re entirely separate from the characters that you interact with for most of the quest stuff. It’s just really odd how bland and boring the characters in this game are and how quickly they’re just like not a thing. (0:36:44) Codey: Mm-hmm, which is not normally when you’re playing these types of games. (0:36:52) Codey: People that play these types of games are really into the story of the people around you and why they’re there. (0:36:58) Codey: So not having that is a big black hole, I guess. (0:37:03) Jonny: Yeah, and I think for me, like the one of the really easiest comparisons that I’ll draw is, (0:37:09) Jonny: you know, they have all of their characters that represent the various things, so they have like the fishing guy. I couldn’t tell you the fishing guy’s name, just that he’s the he’s the guy that you talk to for the fishing stuff, and you compare it to a character like Willy in Stardew Valley, (0:37:23) Jonny: right? And Willy is just like a really great character in that he’s the fishing guy, but he’s, (0:37:30) Jonny: you know, a very passionate fisherman in a place where fishing (0:37:33) Jonny: maybe hasn’t been valued as much and he’s trying to look at it to get restarted and it comes through in his notice board quests, you know, like the way they’re framed and just the way his character speaks and his lines of dialogue where there’s a real character there that’s interesting and compelling beyond just being the fishing tutor, and that’s not the case in Fei Farm. (0:37:56) Codey: Mm-hmm Yeah, and it’s interesting cuz like on their website it says that They like it’s one of their big things is to grow lasting bonds They say our elaborate cast of neighbors will help you find your purpose Lean on them in times of need as you become a good citizen of Azoria. They might fall in love with you, too And it has like learn from the locals meet color for kick off colorful characters I don’t know why that was difficult find your soul mate bring friends home (0:38:26) Codey: so like this is Like it’s just so this is like maybe something that they’re hoping to develop or do you feel like it is what it is (0:38:39) Jonny: I kind of feel like it is what it is, like it’s… sometimes you look at something you go “oh there’s the basics of it there” but you know they could build on it. I don’t even feel like the basics are really there, like they all just have really generic… like on day one you have multiple characters kind of saying the same lines of dialogue to you. It’s not deep, the pool of romanciful characters is not particularly deep or interesting and you know… (0:39:09) Jonny: it’s an extreme version of the classic, like the few characters that you do like think “oh this one you know this one might be interesting” they’re just all not available for reasons that I don’t really understand. I did try to play with the system a little bit where it’s kind of like you just do fetch quests for you know the… and there’s friendship for the non-romanciful characters. (0:39:34) Jonny: But you just do fringe quests, or fetch quests to kind of build that. (0:39:39) Jonny: And then I did a date, you know effectively the cutscene once you get to a certain number of hearts with one of the characters, and it was very much one of those like “wow we could just put in any of the characters” like it was nothing specific to the character that I had picked, (0:39:51) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:39:53) Jonny: it was just like “we went on a picnic” and “hey I like you, you like me, great this was fun, let’s do it” like there was nothing special or unique to the character. I got no sense that I you know made a choice that was interesting. (0:40:09) Jonny: Or had any consequence, or was different to any of other choices. (0:40:13) Jonny: It was like, what? Which face looks the best? Which is, you know? (0:40:16) Codey: Yeah, not great. (0:40:17) Jonny: Like, it’s a video game. I’m not- (0:40:18) Codey: I mean that was me with Stardew. (0:40:20) Jonny: That’s not why I’m here. (0:40:24) Codey: That was a bad noodle. (0:40:25) Codey: And the first time I played Stardew, I was like, “Ooh, an emo boy!” (0:40:28) Codey: “I want the emo boy!” (0:40:31) Codey: But then, when you marry him, he’s–spoiler alert–he’s trash! (0:40:35) Codey: And I was like, “Oh, it’s not all about looks.” (0:40:39) Codey: Yeah. (0:40:39) Jonny: But that’s where you start and it changes from there right because you learn more about what the actual character is This is just like no which which? (0:40:47) Jonny: Which pixel combination do you think looks the best go with that one I guess So yeah, so that side of the game is very disappointing and kind of just because it’s sort of in the same realm Um, so there’s the there is the sort of story (0:40:51) Codey: Yeah, there’s not yeah, hmm (0:41:04) Jonny: Question and the quest system generally is is fine. You know, it’s kind of pushing you to do (0:41:09) Jonny: The next thing and in a you know similar way to most of these games do where it’s like Craft this thing or get to the bottom of the mine or you know Do do whatever this thing is and it kind of keeps you pushing along and that side of it’s quite compelling But the the biggest problem is so magic is part of the game and there’s a range of spells I think I unlocked two or three and the spells sort of help you clear stuff from the world so you can access more areas or (0:41:39) Jonny: Have so they have that use and I have a use on the combat side of things as well But when you unlock it, it’s kind of meant to be this big story moment So you do, you know a large fetch quest and you bring the the person that’s gonna teach you the spell a bunch of stuff You’re like, oh, this is gonna be really exciting and they say, you know Come and talk to me the next day and we’ll we’ll do the thing that we’re gonna do that will also Result you in learning the spell once you get really excited and then you go to bed and then (0:42:06) Jonny: Like a one-screen thing pops up that says “you and the character” (0:42:09) Jonny: went off and did the thing and then you just wake up in front of your house and now you know the spell. And the first spell I learned it took me a few days before I even recognized that I actually had the spell because I thought the game had glitched and I hadn’t the event hadn’t happened I didn’t realize that that one-screen thing was like the entirety of the thing so it’s really disappointing that you’re sort of building up to this big moment and in And the big moment is like a page in a book. (0:42:11) Codey: Mmm… (0:42:39) Jonny: Which is not a video game thing, like I didn’t get to… (0:42:42) Codey: Yeah, you didn’t get to like see you guys going off or anything like there’s no cut scene. It’s just you did it (0:42:43) Jonny: * (0:42:56) Jonny: Because you wake up on your farm, you don’t notice any change. (0:43:01) Jonny: Like there’s no immediate visual change that anything actually has happened, which is just (0:43:08) Codey: So the spells, is it like something that you can just do at any time or is it something that you have to have, like a store of magic and you can only do them when your store is full? (0:43:22) Codey: Mm-hmm. Okay. (0:43:22) Jonny: So it’s a mana system, and the mana effectively just works like stamina, so you can cast a certain number of spells a day effectively just in the same way that you can cut a certain number of trees or mine a certain number of rocks. (0:43:35) Jonny: So it kind of works fine, and the spells have interesting uses in combat in that they’re not just damage, so I think the second spell you get is a wind spell, which in the world it kind of clears some really heavy fog, (0:43:50) Jonny: but you can use it to knock enemies back. (0:43:52) Jonny: Which is a cool use of that spell, so it’s kind of that dual purpose. (0:43:53) Codey: Hmm Yeah Okay, so is it only you spells like you do you actually have like an axe and like a tool kit that allows you to Collect things from your environment or is it all pretty much through spells? (0:44:11) Jonny: No, so I’m actually surprised. So the spells kind of feel more like an add-on rather than the main part, so you still have all of the usual tools. And this is what’s really odd about this game, (0:44:23) Jonny: because this is the area where this game does things really, really right. So the way the tools work is for all of your base tools, so like your axe, your pickaxe, your watering can, (0:44:38) Jonny: those sorts of things. They’re… they… (0:44:41) Jonny: they auto… like, it will auto-select the tool based on the context that you’re at. (0:44:46) Jonny: So if your cursor is over the tree, then it will just automatically select the axe. (0:44:49) Codey: - Yeah. (0:44:51) Jonny: You don’t need to change to the axe. Same for the watering can, or like if you’re… (0:44:57) Jonny: if you’re over your crops, or if you’re in the mines, it’s just automatically the pickaxe, or if you’re on a diggable spot, it will be the spade. So you don’t have… (0:45:06) Jonny: you’re not constantly switching stuff, which is so nice, because you can kind of just run around and clean up your… (0:45:11) Jonny: farm really really quickly and you know there’s only a very small number of times I was like oh I thought I was pointing at this one thing and I was turns out I was pointing at something else so it used a tool that I wasn’t intending but those instances were so infrequent the convenience factor of that was really really nice the only tools that sort of aren’t on that wheel are your more like specialist tools so your wand is one your fishing rod is another and then there’s a bug catching it and that’s the… (0:45:41) Jonny: so you can you have to rotate between those ones which is generally fine because you’re often like okay I’ve done like I’m not doing work so I’m gonna move off the work tools and I’ll you know I’m gonna go catch bugs so I’ll select the bug catching tool the bugs are the bugs are great so the bug catching and fishing are kind of in the category of like really nice things to do where you’re sort of running around the world the fishings a little bit like So the fishing is a little bit (0:45:56) Codey: How are the bugs in this game? (0:46:11) Jonny: Animal Crossing style with the, you know, you need to cast in front of the fish and And there’s a bit of a reeling in minigame, which is fine. It’s not as difficult as the Stardew Valley one. So that’s okay the bugs you can Sneak up on and you have a chance to catch so the difficult ones you might need to have a few goes at at catching But they’re they’re really cool (0:46:36) Jonny: There’s bees in the game and they utilize the bees in a really cool way like you this you occasionally come (0:46:41) Jonny: Across a queen bee which you need to craft like your hives and things like that and then there’s also worker bees which you need to um uh craft Uh some some some like other like, you know Smaller sort of bee things. So I really love the way they use Use bees and it’s just kind of a nice little collectible thing that as you’re running around the world You’re like, oh, yeah, kind of just gonna catch some bugs or whatever. So it’s a nice little thing to to do (0:47:09) Codey: Do they look like regular bugs or do they look– (0:47:13) Jonny: In general, they kind of just look like regular. (0:47:23) Codey: Okay, so you’ve talked about the craft, not the crafting, you’ve talked about like the farming. Well, I guess you talked about just the tools themselves, (0:47:35) Codey: but like how do you, how does farming work in the game? (0:47:39) Jonny: Farming is kind of just like farming in other games, you know, you hoe the land, you plant the seed, you water the seed, and you know, you can use fertilizers to make it grow faster, you’ve got the crops that are just, you know, they’ll grow in three or four days and you harvest them once, and you’ve got the crops that will continue to be harvested over time, so there’s nothing particularly special or interesting happening from that respect, but It kind of works well. One really nice addition. (0:48:09) Jonny: And we’ll talk more about the world traversal in a bit. But you can go in the water, (0:48:14) Jonny: and when you’re in the water, or if it’s raining, your watering can just automatically fills up, (0:48:18) Jonny: which is just a really nice little quality of life thing. Because if you have forgotten to fill it up at the well after you’ve watered your stuff for the day, then it’s highly likely that you’ll just naturally fill it up over the course of the day with everything else that you’re doing. So that’s really nice. There’s animal farming as well. That kind of adds the little… (0:48:39) Jonny: …nuance of you need to interact with things every day, but they kind of like you based on have they been fed, have you packed them, and have they got sunlight? Which I really like the sort of have they got sunlight dimension. I think that’s pretty good. So that seems really cool. (0:48:57) Jonny: Only other thing I guess is just in terms of the types of crops, is that there’s flowers, (0:49:03) Jonny: which is cool. And you can do some flower crossbreeding, which seems kind of like a cool system and quite deep. (0:49:09) Jonny: So that seems like something that I kind of want to dig into more, which I’ve only really just started playing the surface of, because I don’t know that there’s seeds for every sort of flower. (0:49:19) Jonny: Maybe a little bit more like Animal Crossing, where there’s like the base colors for certain flowers and then you can crossbreed them. Yeah, yeah, so there’s that sort of thing. I get the sense that it’s sort of building towards there being more magical style of crops. I just haven’t got any yet, but I’m guessing they are in there. (0:49:22) Codey: Yeah, and then you put them next to each other. (0:49:39) Jonny: So, that’s pretty cool, and the best thing, so this is the best thing about farming, and this is the thing that this game does really, really well, because it’s all of the quality of life things, is you can move your planted crops. (0:49:52) Jonny: So if you’re like, I’ve put this in the wrong spot, or I want to adjust this to build something, you can move it, which is amazing. It’s so good. (0:49:55) Codey: Oh. (0:49:56) Codey: Yeah. (0:50:01) Codey: Well, and that’s something you could do in real life too. (0:50:05) Codey: You just get down to the roots and move your thing. (0:50:09) Codey: It’s not impossible. (0:50:09) Jonny: Yeah, yeah, it’s not it’s not impossible And it’s just so convenient because particularly with flower breeding when you’re like, oh I planted the wrong flower in the spot I didn’t want to crossbreed those two And you can just literally pick it up and swap it out for the one that you want. It’s really really convenient It’s such a nice little (0:50:29) Codey: So what do you do when you get the crops? What do you do with them like is it just kind of a you sell them or is there some type of like crafting or cooking. (0:50:40) Jonny: Yeah so this is probably a good segue into the crafting system because the crafting system is relatively deep in that so once you harvest them you can sell them if you want and that’s generally the worst thing that you can do. What you want to do with your crops is cook them. (0:50:59) Jonny: So you can at the start you just get a basic campfire and you can cook them on that but as you sort of progress you unlock more sorts of crafting stations and so you could take Um… (0:51:10) Jonny: Uh… something that you’ve… you’ve grown and you could… um… chop it up on… on one station and you know… (0:51:17) Jonny: Turn it into a maybe a cut version of the vegetables or… (0:51:20) Jonny: Mixed vegetables or something like that and then you could cook it on… you know a more elaborate… um… cooking station that can make… (0:51:26) Jonny: Um… better quality food and the better quality food not only does it sell for more But it you know does the energy restore or health restore or those sorts of things that you need for… (0:51:36) Jonny: um the mine and the crafting is kind of like it’s one of those (0:51:40) Jonny: versions where you know you jump into that you jump onto the table and you say craft 12 of this thing and it will craft them over time and you don’t have to stand there while it’s crafted but there’s a time element to to the way things are crafted but the game really rewards you for crafting with things so it’s not the sort of game where you want to sell stuff particular base versions and so again this game like quality of life features every other farming game copy fave farm’s quality of life features. (0:52:10) Jonny: at the start of the game on your farm there is a shed that shed has infinite storage you can hoard everything in this game it is amazing. (0:52:18) Codey: Oh my gosh. That’s all I’ve ever wanted. (0:52:20) Jonny: right it’s so good it’s so so good like I really want to uh like if you’re playing this game or you want to play this game hoard everything like sell stuff like there is there is certain stuff to sell like sell your things that you’ve crafted sell things that um you know you (0:52:40) Jonny: like you’ve you’ve kind of feel like you’ve done everything with and I feel like I feel like I should be able to do something with this hoard it hoard it because you can it doesn’t punish you it’s amazing (0:52:47) Codey: Yeah. (0:52:48) Codey: Well, that’s the problem with some farming games is you start the game and right off the bat, (0:52:56) Codey: you’re like, oh wow, this cool rock, that’s cool, (0:52:58) Codey: but I found it on my first day. (0:53:00) Codey: So it’s probably gonna be here all the time and I’m running out of inventory space, (0:53:04) Codey: so I’m just gonna sell it. (0:53:05) Codey: And then you find out that that was the rarest rock ever and you only get one every month or something like that. (0:53:13) Codey: And it’s just like, well, I sold it. (0:53:15) Codey: So, because– (0:53:15) Jonny: Yep. Yup. (0:53:17) Codey: Because I didn’t know what to do with it on day one, so that’s really cool that they have like stuff that you– like a way for you to just save everything right off the bat. (0:53:27) Codey: Because like– and you don’t have to– it’s just there, right? You don’t have to build it. (0:53:27) Jonny: Yeah Correct. Yep, so you don’t have to build it. It’s there from the start, which is great And you and your your characters inventory is also relatively Generous sets of things do tend to like have more sort of like stacks in your inventory where you can only carry certain amount in a slot and you have to unlock some slots, but your tools don’t take up inventory slots and Reli- (0:53:47) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:53:49) Codey: Oh my gosh. (0:53:53) Jonny: Right? (0:53:55) Jonny: relatively quickly you can unlock. (0:53:57) Jonny: to get your inventory to like 25 or 30 slots which is like really like it’s it’s it’s very good once you get it that far so that was that was just Honestly, it made it so fun because if you feel like you’re just running around the world doing what you want to do and you’re not Doing an inventory management thing. That’s just annoying and frustrating Oh and and just sort of for the the final thing because it’s really important to call access really good is the the crafting pu

Squarespace will honor existing customer pricing for at least 12 months following the completion of the purchase. It will also use Google's infrastructure to ensure a "seamless transfer of domains." For existing customers, Squarespace will provide billing and support for Google Workspace customers who've already purchased domains through Google Domains. However, as time goes on and as subscriptions start to renew, these customers will likely be forced to migrate to Squarespace's billing system. The acquisition is not surprising, as Squarespace is already a behemoth in the websites and domain space. However, it is a little more surprising that Google is selling, as the company is notorious for abandoning established products at any time.https://newsroom.squarespace.com/blog/googledomains ~Twitter - A group of music publishers is suing Twitter for $250 million, alleging that the company has done little to stop users from uploading and sharing copyrighted music on the platform. The lawsuit, filed by the National Music Publishers Association (NMPA), claims that Twitter has "routinely ignored" requests for takedowns and that it is one of the only major social media platforms that does not have licensing agreements in place with music publishers. The NMPA also alleges that Twitter is less likely to take action against verified accounts that share copyrighted music, even though these accounts often have large follower bases. If the lawsuit is successful, it could force Twitter to pay out millions of dollars in damages and could also lead to changes in the way the company handles copyright infringement.https://www.engadget.com/music-publishers-are-suing-twitter-for-250-million-over-massive-copyright-infringement-082421118.html SuggestsResident Evil… ANY OF THEM!Comic Books/BooksTrailersX-Men Hellfire Club - https://youtu.be/9akSSU1_Ftg the book that will kick off the Fall of X arc hits shelves July 26th.Reg ‘ol NewsEnergon - Transformers and GI Joe shared universe.

Squarespace will honor existing customer pricing for at least 12 months following the completion of the purchase. It will also use Google's infrastructure to ensure a "seamless transfer of domains." For existing customers, Squarespace will provide billing and support for Google Workspace customers who've already purchased domains through Google Domains. However, as time goes on and as subscriptions start to renew, these customers will likely be forced to migrate to Squarespace's billing system. The acquisition is not surprising, as Squarespace is already a behemoth in the websites and domain space. However, it is a little more surprising that Google is selling, as the company is notorious for abandoning established products at any time.https://newsroom.squarespace.com/blog/googledomains ~Twitter - A group of music publishers is suing Twitter for $250 million, alleging that the company has done little to stop users from uploading and sharing copyrighted music on the platform.

[00:31.000 –> 00:36.000] Hello, farmers, and welcome to another episode of The Harvest Season. [00:36.000 –> 00:38.000] My name is Al. [00:38.000 –> 00:40.000] And my name is Jonny. [00:40.000 –> 00:46.000] And we’re here today to talk about games. So many, so many, many, many, many games. [00:49.000 –> 00:53.000] There’s too many games, Al. Too many games. [00:53.000 –> 01:01.000] So many games. We were talking before we recorded that the problem is that the games are almost all good-looking games. [01:01.000 –> 01:06.000] So it’s not like they’re all terrible-looking games, because if they were all terrible-looking games, we could just ignore them. [01:08.000 –> 01:15.000] Yeah, no, there’s a lot of really good-looking games, and I feel like I’m going to get sucked into a, you know, world of these games. [01:15.000 –> 01:18.000] And I don’t have time, Al. I just don’t have time. [01:18.000 –> 01:20.000] I know, I know, I know. [01:20.000 –> 01:25.000] Alright, well, speaking of not having time, let’s get on with the show. [01:25.000 –> 01:30.000] Listeners, well, listeners, I shouldn’t say listeners, because I’m talking about the transcripts now. [01:30.000 –> 01:37.000] People who need the transcripts for any reason, they are available and shown on the website, so go get them if you need them. [01:37.000 –> 01:43.000] Today, our main topic is just news, because there’s so much of it. [01:43.000 –> 01:48.000] We are recording this a couple of hours after the Wholesome Direct came out, so there’s a bunch of news from that. [01:48.000 –> 01:53.000] And there was just a lot of news for a week anyway, right? There’s been a lot of news this week. [01:53.000 –> 01:59.000] I don’t know, oh wait, no, I do know why, because apparently it’s Summer Game Fest, so that’s why there’s all the news. [01:59.000 –> 02:06.000] Look, I know people love these big things, but like, oh my word, could we spread it throughout the year a little bit more? [02:06.000 –> 02:08.000] This is just too much for one week. [02:08.000 –> 02:16.000] It’s way too much. And I think one of my takeaways from the Wholesome Direct is I actually feel like it does a disservice to all of these small, great games. [02:16.000 –> 02:23.000] Because I’m sure there are some great games that we will not talk about today, because there’s just too many for us to keep in our heads. [02:23.000 –> 02:31.000] Yeah, I agree. I don’t know what a good way to do it is, like, that’s probably not my job, but it just, yeah, I agree. [02:31.000 –> 02:36.000] Like, there are so many, by the end of it, when they did their montage, I was just kind of glazed over going, [02:36.000 –> 02:41.000] yeah, sure, looks good, don’t know what, I don’t have the energy to look into that game just now. [02:42.000 –> 02:48.000] You know, I looked into all of the farming game specific ones, but anyway, we’ll get into that when we get into it. [02:48.000 –> 02:51.000] Before that, Johnny, what have you been up to? [02:51.000 –> 02:57.000] Well, and I think our greenhouse episode on this game just dropped, but just Zelda. [02:57.000 –> 03:03.000] Last night, or yesterday, I came to the realisation that I was kind of hitting the point where I was like, [03:03.000 –> 03:11.000] ooh, I might be wanting to play some other things, and unlike Breath of the Wild, I kind of want to see where this story’s going, [03:11.000 –> 03:16.000] so I’m just going to main line the story, and yesterday I did finish the main story, [03:16.000 –> 03:25.000] and the ending of that game is just, like, peak video game nonsense that I don’t really recall from the ending of a video game, [03:25.000 –> 03:31.000] like, doing it that well in a long, long time. Maybe ever. It was excellent. [03:31.000 –> 03:39.000] I love Zelda, I love the way that game ended, I love everything about this game. It is freaking awesome. [03:39.000 –> 03:47.000] Yeah, I agree. I also finished it yesterday, and we’ll not spoil it, obviously, but I felt, personally, with Breath of the Wild, [03:47.000 –> 03:53.000] that the biggest lacking thing in it was the end story. To me, it just felt a bit meh. [03:53.000 –> 04:02.000] It was kind of like, oh, battle! Oh, wait, now he’s massive! Go shoot him! None of it really made any sense. [04:02.000 –> 04:09.000] Whereas, I think in this one, it felt very tied into all of the story you’ve kind of gone through, [04:09.000 –> 04:15.000] and when certain things happen at the end, you’re like, of course that makes sense, of course that was going to happen, [04:15.000 –> 04:22.000] and then how that then led into the final part of the final battle was really good. It kind of balanced things. I really liked it. [04:22.000 –> 04:29.000] I really liked it as well. There was one giant plot hole, which was kind of always going to be there, that really annoys me, [04:29.000 –> 04:37.000] but other than that, I thought it was awesome, and it kind of makes me want to see the team that did Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom [04:37.000 –> 04:47.000] do a smaller, more story-focused style game now, because after Breath of the Wild, I was like, I just want them to do big open world stuff, [04:47.000 –> 04:53.000] because clearly that’s what they’re good at, but this one was like, oh, they can also do just really good traditional gameplay. [04:53.000 –> 05:02.000] Yeah, I think it’s interesting, because it’s really hard to do a good open world story, because you can’t rely on anybody doing anything. [05:02.000 –> 05:10.000] Once you’ve done the tutorial, all bets are off. You could be coming to that last bit without having anything else before, [05:10.000 –> 05:20.000] and I want to watch the cutscenes for if you haven’t done certain things in the game, because obviously I’ve done almost everything. [05:20.000 –> 05:25.000] I haven’t done all of the side quests, and I obviously haven’t done all the Korok seeds, but I’ve done everything else. [05:25.000 –> 05:35.000] I’ve done all of the story bits, and I’ve done all of the shrines, and all of that sort of stuff, and I’ve done more than 50% of everything except the Korok seeds, [05:35.000 –> 05:45.000] and so it’d be interesting to see how that story changes if you haven’t done certain, but I feel like most of that would still make sense to you. [05:45.000 –> 05:50.000] You wouldn’t understand why certain things happen necessarily, but it’s not like, oh, that makes no sense. [05:50.000 –> 05:58.000] You’re like, okay, that’s a thing that apparently happens. Fine, whatever. Suspension of disbelief, I don’t need to care why that happens. [05:58.000 –> 06:01.000] It’s really hard to talk about this without making specifics, so let’s move on, shall we? [06:01.000 –> 06:07.000] I haven’t played anything else, because yesterday my Switch broke, and I’m very sad about that. [06:07.000 –> 06:17.000] I do have multiple Switches, so I can play games on other Switches, but I’m just a bit down about my Switch breaking yesterday, because all my Pokémon saves are on that Switch, [06:17.000 –> 06:19.000] and I really hope I don’t lose them all. [06:19.000 –> 06:21.000] Is it like a big break, or…? [06:21.000 –> 06:29.000] So I think, according to the error that shows on screen, all my Googling says that it is just an issue with the USB port, [06:29.000 –> 06:34.000] and they should just be able to hotswap out the USB port, and it should all just work. [06:34.000 –> 06:43.000] But, as with everything, you never know what’s happening under there, and I have heard of people sending in Switches to get fixed, and it comes back with the memory wiped, [06:43.000 –> 06:49.000] which would be very sad. Very, very sad, because I would lose all of my Pokémon games except Sword and Brilliant Diamond. [06:49.000 –> 06:53.000] Everything else would be gone on the Switch, so I would be very sad if that happened. [06:53.000 –> 06:54.000] Yeah, that would suck. [06:54.000 –> 06:55.000] Especially… [06:55.000 –> 06:57.000] Of all of the games to keep. [06:57.000 –> 06:58.000] Oh, I know. [06:58.000 –> 07:12.000] I guess I can’t get into a rant about this just now, but I’m going to, because I cannot comprehend why they think that the miniscule risk of people cheating in the game by cloning things through the save state, [07:12.000 –> 07:20.000] is more important than literally losing about 600 hours combined of Pokémon games that would happen. [07:20.000 –> 07:26.000] And I’m not going to go and redo all of them, because I do not have the time or the energy to do all of that, [07:26.000 –> 07:30.000] and it’s just going to mean that I’m going to be really disappointed for the rest of this generation, [07:30.000 –> 07:36.000] because, yeah, sure, I’ll probably play one of the games to get back into Endgame so I can do the things and do the DLC, [07:36.000 –> 07:45.000] but I will not end up enjoying it as much as I would if I had the saves that I have spent 150 hours playing since release, right? [07:45.000 –> 07:49.000] It just, it boggles the mind that they think that’s okay, but anyway, whatever. [07:49.000 –> 07:56.000] But you see, Elle, they’ve done such a good job of stopping them duplicating Pokémon in all other ways. [07:56.000 –> 08:01.000] This is the thing! It’s so easy to do these things! [08:01.000 –> 08:09.000] It’s so annoying, and it’s literally only Pokémon, right? Because even Animal Crossing has a way to back up the save, right? [08:09.000 –> 08:16.000] If I lose that, I can get that back, and every other game I have on the Switch is backed up to Nintendo Switch Online. [08:16.000 –> 08:22.000] I pay a service to do this, and I can’t use it for the game that matters most to me! [08:22.000 –> 08:31.000] And even, like, they have Pokémon Home, right? Surely it’s not that difficult to even back up the cloud save into maybe a space like Home, right? [08:31.000 –> 08:36.000] Which has all of the Pokémon and stuff anyway. I don’t know. There’s, yeah, I’m with you. There’s so many ways to do it. [08:36.000 –> 08:40.000] They could absolutely do it, because with Animal Crossing, the way it works, right, is you go, [08:40.000 –> 08:44.000] oh, I have lost my Switch or whatever, and then they give you a way to download it, right? [08:44.000 –> 08:48.000] It’s not just default, or I can do it whenever I want. You could absolutely do that. [08:48.000 –> 08:53.000] Go like, oh, these are backed up, but you can only access them by emailing us and saying, [08:53.000 –> 08:57.000] yes, my Switch broke. It was wiped. Can I please get my saves? [08:57.000 –> 09:02.000] And that massively increases the barrier to entry. You can’t just go and clone things whenever you want, right? [09:02.000 –> 09:07.000] You can still, there’s still a way to do it, but nobody’s going to do that realistically, right? [09:07.000 –> 09:12.000] They’re going to use the hundreds of other easier ways to clone Pokémon than that, right? [09:12.000 –> 09:18.000] There are literally bots on Discord you can go and message and then trade with them on the game, [09:18.000 –> 09:23.000] and it will send you back a copy of your Pokémon. That is literally a thing you can do. [09:23.000 –> 09:24.000] Anyway. [09:24.000 –> 09:26.000] Yes, agree. It’s stupid. [09:26.000 –> 09:28.000] Shall we talk about some news? [09:28.000 –> 09:29.000] Let’s do it. Let’s talk about news. [09:29.000 –> 09:34.000] Sorry, I just, it’s all very fresh. I’ve literally, it’s been like 27 hours since this has happened, [09:34.000 –> 09:37.000] so it’s all very fresh. I needed to get that rant out. [09:38.000 –> 09:42.000] So a quick preamble to this. Obviously, we’ve just had the Wholesome Direct. [09:42.000 –> 09:47.000] As you’re listening to this, it will have been out a few days ago, so you may well know a lot of what’s happening, [09:47.000 –> 09:52.000] and you may have gone and watched it. That’s fine. If you want to go watch it, we’ve got a link in the show notes to that. [09:52.000 –> 09:59.000] I’ll also put in a link to the Wholesome Games videos list, which has every trailer that they had in there, [09:59.000 –> 10:02.000] if you want to go and watch them. There are so many videos. [10:02.000 –> 10:07.000] We are not going to talk about games that just showed another trailer. [10:07.000 –> 10:10.000] Because that’s too much. We’re not doing that. [10:10.000 –> 10:14.000] There was 80 games in this trailer. We’re not doing that. [10:14.000 –> 10:16.000] We’re only going to talk about actual news. [10:16.000 –> 10:20.000] If you want to see everything, go watch the Direct. [10:20.000 –> 10:25.000] It would take us more time to discuss everything than it would be just go watch the Direct. [10:25.000 –> 10:30.000] But we will be talking about all the Farming and Cottagecore related news that came out. [10:30.000 –> 10:34.000] Okay, cool. And also, some of this news didn’t come out the Wholesome Direct. [10:34.000 –> 10:37.000] Because, as I said, it’s a busy week. There’s lots of stuff. [10:37.000 –> 10:38.000] So we’re just going to get into it. [10:38.000 –> 10:44.000] So I’ve chunked this up into a few different sections of different kinds of news, as I like to do when there’s lots of news. [10:44.000 –> 10:46.000] So the first section is releases. [10:46.000 –> 10:49.000] So first of all, massive news. [10:49.000 –> 10:55.000] Harvest Moon, the original Harvest Moon on SNES, is now on Switch Online outside of Japan. [10:55.000 –> 10:56.000] Woo! [10:56.000 –> 10:58.000] This is awesome. [10:58.000 –> 11:03.000] I’m not really a big one for going back and playing old games. [11:03.000 –> 11:09.000] But the ability to go back and play Harvest Moon is pretty tempting, right? [11:09.000 –> 11:15.000] We’ve talked in the past about preserving the historical nature of Cottagecore games. [11:15.000 –> 11:19.000] And this is a really little awesome step forward in that space. [11:19.000 –> 11:20.000] So this is very exciting. [11:20.000 –> 11:21.000] Absolutely. [11:21.000 –> 11:23.000] I will be going back and playing at some point. [11:23.000 –> 11:28.000] It’ll probably take me a while because this month is insane and then there’s the summer. [11:28.000 –> 11:33.000] But at some point I will go back and play it because I think it’s good for me to have played it. [11:33.000 –> 11:36.000] But I think most people won’t. [11:36.000 –> 11:46.000] But what I think is more exciting than the game itself being on is the fact that Natsume and Marvelous have managed to actually make an agreement on this. [11:46.000 –> 11:52.000] The two companies who fell out 15 years ago on this have now managed to make an agreement and say, [11:52.000 –> 11:56.000] yes, this game with this name can now go on on a service. [11:56.000 –> 11:57.000] That is huge. [11:57.000 –> 11:59.000] I honestly never thought this would happen. [11:59.000 –> 12:01.000] No, I don’t think anyone did. [12:01.000 –> 12:07.000] So, yeah, huge news, huge thing to be released. [12:07.000 –> 12:09.000] And it’s Switch Online, right? [12:09.000 –> 12:13.000] So you have to have the subscription in order to get it and then it’s free once you’ve got the subscription. [12:13.000 –> 12:14.000] Correct. [12:14.000 –> 12:20.000] And it’s just the lower priced Nintendo Switch Online because it’s SNES. [12:20.000 –> 12:22.000] So you don’t have to go for the more expensive. [12:22.000 –> 12:27.000] Next, we have a date for the early access of One Lonely Outpost and that is the 26th of June. [12:27.000 –> 12:29.000] So was that two weeks away? Something like that? [12:29.000 –> 12:30.000] Something like that. [12:30.000 –> 12:33.000] Yeah, it’ll be just about two weeks away. [12:33.000 –> 12:35.000] I’ll be totally honest with you, Johnny. [12:35.000 –> 12:37.000] I didn’t realise it was early access that was releasing in June. [12:37.000 –> 12:39.000] I thought it was the full release. [12:40.000 –> 12:48.000] I also thought this game was closer to release and I watched the new trailer and I don’t know about this game. [12:48.000 –> 12:54.000] Like, I like the idea of what it’s trying to do, you know, where you’re establishing a colony on a new planet. [12:54.000 –> 12:59.000] I think that’s an interesting twist on the traditional farming game. [12:59.000 –> 13:04.000] And then, you know, they’ve just got like fishing and look, I don’t want to rant about fishing again. [13:04.000 –> 13:08.000] But why does every game need fishing? [13:08.000 –> 13:14.000] We are on another planet and we still just have, like, the fishing to look different, which, cool. [13:14.000 –> 13:20.000] But I just want real, like, innovation. [13:20.000 –> 13:24.000] Yeah, I think that’s the thing is you watch the trailer and it starts out really interesting because you’re like, [13:24.000 –> 13:30.000] oh, you’re literally alone on this planet and then you’re trying to create an outpost and that’s really interesting. [13:30.000 –> 13:39.000] And I do like the idea of, like, slowly kind of terraforming, which does lead to more standard farming stuff once you get to that point. [13:39.000 –> 13:45.000] And then it’s like, oh, you have to, like, hire new people to come to the colony, blah, blah, blah, blah. [13:45.000 –> 13:48.000] So then they introduce the relationships again for some reason. [13:48.000 –> 13:54.000] But then it kind of goes into an interesting, like, oh, there’s maybe more to this than seems. [13:54.000 –> 13:59.000] Like, maybe there are other people on this planet because, like, there’s a point where it says we were told we were the first or something like that. [13:59.000 –> 14:03.000] So it kind of sounds like there’s a mystery element to it, which I’m intrigued by. [14:03.000 –> 14:07.000] Yeah, and yeah, the mystery part does seem intriguing. [14:07.000 –> 14:15.000] But there was even a weird thing, like, and maybe this is why I’m so irate at, like, the fishing person, is they showed you meeting her and she’s like, [14:15.000 –> 14:21.000] I’m the local fisherperson around here. And it’s like, what? What do you mean, like, ugh. [14:21.000 –> 14:28.000] Yes. But anyway, there was implications of some bigger story going on that does seem interesting. [14:28.000 –> 14:34.000] And, you know, I’m sure there’ll be a number of our listeners who are excited to try this when it comes to early access. [14:34.000 –> 14:39.000] The other thing is, obviously, this was the game where the developer changed, like, maybe a year ago or something like that. [14:39.000 –> 14:48.000] And a lot of people are disappointed with the change in art direction since then, which I’m going to be honest, I have no visual memory. [14:48.000 –> 14:54.000] So I have to go back and look at what it was and compare it. But I just, that’s a thing. Like, some people are disappointed. [14:54.000 –> 14:58.000] I am on board with people that are disappointed in the art direction. [14:58.000 –> 15:00.000] Just in general. [15:00.000 –> 15:13.000] No, well, in general, but for this game in particular, I think it looks, I just don’t like the style that they’ve landed on versus what was shown in some of the earlier screenshots and trailers. [15:13.000 –> 15:18.000] I’d need to spend more time looking at the two side by side because, as I say, I literally have no idea what it looked like before. [15:18.000 –> 15:22.000] Right, like, I cannot visualise that at all. [15:22.000 –> 15:25.000] Next, we have a release date for Fae Farm. [15:25.000 –> 15:29.000] So this was one that was first announced in a Nintendo Direct last year, I think. [15:29.000 –> 15:37.000] I’m surprised it’s coming out this early, but there we go. We’ve got the 8th of September this year and a new trailer. [15:37.000 –> 15:47.000] Yeah, exciting to see this one get a release date because, like you, this was very much in the definitely going to be 2024 bucket in my mind. [15:47.000 –> 15:58.000] New trailer looks fun. I can’t remember if that said whether or not they were going to have co-op, but co-op is confirmed for this one, which is cool. [15:58.000 –> 16:05.000] I think that was a kind of fundamental thing about it, I think. Not required, but that was one of their big things was, yeah, it’s a co-op game. [16:05.000 –> 16:09.000] Yeah, because it was definitely all over this trailer. [16:09.000 –> 16:15.000] Yeah, and the first trailer in the Nintendo Direct last year was, like, multiple of them bouncing around. I think they made a big thing. [16:15.000 –> 16:23.000] Yeah, it looks cool. I think I talked about this last time, but I’m a little bit over the whole, like, you know, it’s farming plus witches sort of thing. [16:23.000 –> 16:32.000] I don’t know that this one’s really doing enough for me to be like, yeah, I really want to check it out, but it does look like a good version of one of these. [16:32.000 –> 16:44.000] The art style to me is very reminiscent of, like, you know, the sort of Disney or Pixar-ish style games from, like, the early 2000s just scaled up for sort of modern times. [16:44.000 –> 16:49.000] And I do love the backflip that the character does, where they do, like, the double jump or whatever it is. That’s kind of great. [16:49.000 –> 16:55.000] Yeah, it looks like the movement is fluid and fun, which is very rare in farming games. [16:55.000 –> 16:59.000] Like, normally it’s just like, oh yeah, you just move forwards and backwards and yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. [16:59.000 –> 17:08.000] So it does look like a fun movement game. But yeah, I think I need to, I was going to say, I think I need to look into it more before I decide if I’m going to buy it and play it. [17:08.000 –> 17:18.000] But no, that’s my job. That’s what I’m doing. I’m going to play it and tell you. I can’t remember, did I get, was that a Kickstarter one or not? I need to double check. I have too many Kickstarters. [17:19.000 –> 17:31.000] My Time at Sandrock. So this is the, just in case you’re not aware, this is the sequel to My Time at Portia, currently in early access, full release, 1.0 release, sorry, coming 26th of September. [17:31.000 –> 17:43.000] Al, I think I’m ready to get burned again. I was so excited for My Time at Portia and I played like five minutes of that game and hated just about every second of it. [17:44.000 –> 17:49.000] And then I watched the trailer for My Time at Sandrock and it looks really good. [17:49.000 –> 17:54.000] Oh, Jonny, Jonny, Jonny, Jonny. Well, you can do that episode then. [17:56.000 –> 18:05.000] I just, I don’t know. Like I hated the crafting in it and I’m sure that’s going to be all over this version. Maybe I need to watch someone play the early access so I can get it out of my system. [18:05.000 –> 18:16.000] But, um, I don’t know. It looks really cool. And I like the whole sort of Western vibe for it. Again, like it seems like September is going to be a bit of a busy month. [18:16.000 –> 18:24.000] Not just September, the 26th of September, because that is My Time at Sandrock. It’s also Mineko’s Night Market, which we already knew about. [18:24.000 –> 18:32.000] And there’s another game coming out in the 26th of September, which I’m now moving up the list because that works, is Paleo Pines is coming out on the 26th of September. [18:32.000 –> 18:36.000] Three farming games coming out on the same day. [18:43.000 –> 18:53.000] Okay, I’m not playing My Time at Sandrock, probably ever. Paleo Pines I definitely want to play, but I’m sorry. Mineko comes first. Mineko’s Night Market comes first. Sorry, Paleo Pines. [18:53.000 –> 18:59.000] Yep. Yep. I was like, it sucks to not be Mineko’s Night Market because I think that’s the top of everybody’s list. [18:59.000 –> 19:05.000] There wasn’t an Echoes trailer in the Wholesome Direct, but technically no news. [19:05.000 –> 19:08.000] I believe it was on the Wholesome Direct pre-show. [19:08.000 –> 19:11.000] Oh, don’t get me started on this, Johnny! [19:11.000 –> 19:14.000] You had to know I was going to get you started on this at some point. [19:14.000 –> 19:20.000] This thing, the Wholesome Direct, was scheduled to start at 5pm My Time. [19:20.000 –> 19:24.000] And you tune in and it’s like, oh, here’s the countdown. Okay, fine, whatever, the countdown. [19:24.000 –> 19:31.000] And then what you think is the direct starts. And then halfway through they’re like, oh, and the last thing of our pre-show. [19:31.000 –> 19:36.000] And I’m like, I’m sorry, what now? This isn’t the show! Why is this not the direct? [19:36.000 –> 19:41.000] Why is this a pre-show that was meant to happen before the scheduled time for the thing? [19:41.000 –> 19:48.000] Like, it’s not, ugh. I just don’t understand. Why is that not just part of the thing? [19:48.000 –> 19:53.000] How are these things? It’s like they were like, oh, we can’t fit these ones into the direct. Let’s put them before the direct. [19:53.000 –> 19:58.000] But let’s put them at the scheduled time for the direct so that everybody sees them anyway. [19:58.000 –> 20:04.000] So they may as well have been in. It’s like, if you’re going to do a pre-show, do a pre-show. [20:04.000 –> 20:08.000] Don’t do a pre-show at the time that the show is meant to be. [20:08.000 –> 20:12.000] Also, what even is a pre-show when it’s just a YouTube livestream? [20:12.000 –> 20:17.000] Yeah, it wasn’t even a livestream. If it was a livestream it would make sense, right? [20:17.000 –> 20:22.000] Because then it’s just like a livestream starts and then at some point the pre-show happens and then the show happens. [20:22.000 –> 20:29.000] It was a premiere. It was just a video that they upload to go live at a certain time and everybody watches it like it’s a live show. [20:29.000 –> 20:31.000] But it’s not. It’s just a YouTube video. [20:31.000 –> 20:35.000] Oh my god, yes. So that makes absolutely no sense. [20:35.000 –> 20:39.000] It’s, you know, not like people are sitting there like, oh, message your friends, you know, it’s started. [20:39.000 –> 20:44.000] The pre-show’s starting. You’ve got to get it now. Like, it’s just a YouTube video. Come on. [20:44.000 –> 20:50.000] There was another one that I was watching yesterday, the Future of Play direct, which, stupid name, but whatever. [20:50.000 –> 20:58.000] They did it as a premiere as well. They had an hour long inside the premiere before the actual show. [20:58.000 –> 21:03.000] So if you tuned in when it went, oh, it’s going live now, you click on it, there’s an hour to go! [21:03.000 –> 21:10.000] Right, okay, fine. But the worst bit is, now, if you go to that YouTube video, it just has that hour of nonsense at the beginning. [21:10.000 –> 21:17.000] You have to forward on it. You have to go scroll through an hour of this hour and a half long video to see anything. [21:17.000 –> 21:24.000] I don’t, hey, pro tip, right, to all the people out there, and realistically, these people should know, [21:24.000 –> 21:28.000] because it was, I can’t remember, it was IGN, I think, that had this video up. Pro tip to IGN, [21:28.000 –> 21:34.000] I don’t know if anybody on your team knows this, but you can actually edit YouTube videos after they’ve been published [21:34.000 –> 21:39.000] to, like, trim down the beginning. You can do that. It’s a thing you can do, just to let you know. [21:39.000 –> 21:45.000] Also, you don’t have to do that. Don’t give it an hour long, like, it’s just, just make it go live. [21:45.000 –> 21:51.000] When you say it’s going to go live. Also, another thing, YouTube premiers have a countdown on the front of them. [21:51.000 –> 21:55.000] You don’t need to add your own countdown onto your video, because they already have a countdown. [21:55.000 –> 21:59.000] See, when you tune into a video, and there’s a countdown, and then the countdown stops, and then there’s another countdown, [21:59.000 –> 22:05.000] that’s very annoying. Just saying. No matter how lovely your countdown is, and Wholesome Games, your countdown was lovely. [22:05.000 –> 22:12.000] It was lovely, lovely to watch. But you know what, it’s six minutes past five, I want to be watching the thing now. [22:12.000 –> 22:15.000] I’m so pleased with how this went. [22:15.000 –> 22:22.000] Moonstone Island is releasing this summer. It’s really funny when it’s like, oh, here’s a, here’s an update on a release window, [22:22.000 –> 22:28.000] and it’s like, summer. Okay, fine. It’s summer now. Where’s the game? I don’t, just. [22:28.000 –> 22:33.000] I don’t even remember what Moonstone Island is. There were so many games showing this. [22:33.000 –> 22:36.000] I think there’s Flying Islands in this game. I lose track. [22:36.000 –> 22:39.000] Yeah, this is like the one with the Baba Yaga house. [22:39.000 –> 22:42.000] Which is a funny thing to hear now. [22:42.000 –> 22:47.000] Flying Islands, how original. [22:47.000 –> 22:50.000] Creature collecting life sim, this one is. [22:50.000 –> 22:55.000] It’s definitely, floating island is definitely the thing of the day, and creature collecting as well. [22:55.000 –> 23:01.000] Like, this one is kind of like just using all of the buzzwords of the day, and yet it still looks really good. [23:01.000 –> 23:06.000] Like, it’s got a nice pixelated art style. I don’t know, I’m really into this game. [23:06.000 –> 23:13.000] Yeah, me too. Their Steam page says Q3, which is not exactly the same as summer, [23:13.000 –> 23:16.000] no matter what definition of summer you use, but whatever, fine. [23:16.000 –> 23:21.000] Look, I think we’ve learned this year that summer is a very flexible word. [23:21.000 –> 23:31.000] I just, right, I want, I want game developers and publishers and PR people to stop using those words. [23:31.000 –> 23:37.000] Stop using spring, summer, winter, autumn, fall, whatever. Stop it. [23:37.000 –> 23:43.000] Use Q’s, right, because Q2, we all know what Q2 is. Cheers. Do that. [23:43.000 –> 23:48.000] Do we all know what Q2 is, Al? You might be assuming a lot of things about a lot of people. [23:48.000 –> 23:51.000] Well, you know what Q2 is. Don’t even pretend like you don’t know what Q2 is. [23:51.000 –> 23:54.000] I mean, I know what Q2 is, but, you know. [23:55.000 –> 24:02.000] Do not do the whole, oh, is it a Gregorian calendar year or is it a financial year? [24:02.000 –> 24:05.000] No, I don’t care. No, stop it. [24:05.000 –> 24:08.000] You cut me off before I even get started, Al. [24:10.000 –> 24:14.000] There was a new trailer for that as well. The game looks good. The news is it’s releasing in the summer. [24:14.000 –> 24:16.000] There’s nothing else new. Moving on. [24:17.000 –> 24:26.000] Smushy Come Home, which, by the way, I looked at the title and, wait, I know what that game is. [24:26.000 –> 24:33.000] That wasn’t the name, was it? Like, it’s impressive having a name for a game, and I didn’t see anything else. [24:33.000 –> 24:38.000] I just initially saw, oh, Smushy Come Home is coming out, because I saw that before the Direct started. [24:38.000 –> 24:43.000] They announced it just before the Direct. I was like, I do know what game they’re talking about, right? [24:43.000 –> 24:48.000] It’s the toad guy that’s, you know, going around and delivering mail and stuff, right? Fine. [24:48.000 –> 24:52.000] But that wasn’t the name, was it? And no, it wasn’t. Turns out it wasn’t the name. [24:52.000 –> 25:04.000] They had to change their name because they got cease and desist from a company with the same name as what they originally had, which was Shumi. [25:04.000 –> 25:07.000] So it was Shumi. Now it’s Smushy. [25:07.000 –> 25:09.000] Smushy. Smushy’s a great name. [25:09.000 –> 25:17.000] They say the name is Smushy, and then they try and describe the name of it, like, where’s the description? [25:17.000 –> 25:24.000] Pronounced S-M-U-S-H-Y. And I’m like, I’m sorry, the thing I’m not sure about is not there’s a Y at the end, right? [25:24.000 –> 25:29.000] The thing I’m confused about here is, how do you pronounce the U sound? Is it Smushy or Smushy? [25:29.000 –> 25:32.000] I assume it’s Smushy, right? Because it’s mushroom. [25:33.000 –> 25:36.000] Oh, okay. Yeah, we’ll go with that. [25:36.000 –> 25:42.000] But I just thought it might be U because presumably it was Shumi, the original name, right? It wasn’t Shummy, right? [25:42.000 –> 25:47.000] So I thought maybe we could see the consonant sound. Yeah, exactly. See, this is the problem. [25:47.000 –> 25:51.000] This is the problem. If you’re going to give us a pronunciation gain, give us a proper, record yourself saying it. [25:51.000 –> 25:56.000] That’s the best way to do it. Record yourself. All good. Anyway. [25:56.000 –> 26:00.000] Sorry, yes. Smushy come home is out now. [26:00.000 –> 26:05.000] That’s the news. It’s out now. Two days ago they were like, oh, big news coming Saturday. [26:05.000 –> 26:11.000] Not just big news, big thing. This is good. This is a good way to release a game. Just go, hey, out now. [26:11.000 –> 26:17.000] What was very funny is, in the trailer for this, the developer, because I believe it was developed by, [26:17.000 –> 26:24.000] I can’t remember their name, but I believe they developed the full game except for the music. [26:24.000 –> 26:31.000] I think it was just one guy, basically, yeah. And when he introduced the trailers, you know, did a bit of a, [26:31.000 –> 26:35.000] and wait till the end for, you know, like, make sure you watch to the end. [26:35.000 –> 26:38.000] And like the way that makes it seem like it’s going to be some really lame announcement. [26:38.000 –> 26:43.000] And then it’s just like all of a sudden and like kind of small text like out now. And I was like, wait, what? [26:43.000 –> 26:48.000] Out now? You should make that a much bigger deal. Much, much, much bigger. [26:48.000 –> 26:53.000] Yeah. Yeah. I really like the look of this game. I think it’s really cute. [26:53.000 –> 26:58.000] I’ll be interested to see how it actually plays. But yeah, it’s out now. Go play it if you want to play it. [26:58.000 –> 27:04.000] It’s out now on Steam and Switch. Wow. No, no Switch coming later. That’s impressive. [27:04.000 –> 27:05.000] That’s very impressive. [27:05.000 –> 27:11.000] Yeah. And so it’s on launch sale with 20% off. So good time to buy it. [27:11.000 –> 27:17.000] That’s all the release date information. Next, we have some updates and DLC. [27:17.000 –> 27:22.000] So the first one is the new Disney Dreamlight Valley update. The forgetting update is out now. [27:22.000 –> 27:27.000] Yeah, this looks, this is kind of the biggest update to date. [27:27.000 –> 27:32.000] If you’ve played through Disney Dreamlight Valley already, [27:32.000 –> 27:37.000] this is where they finally put someone into the pumpkin house that’s been there since this game released, [27:37.000 –> 27:40.000] I believe, with nobody living in it. [27:41.000 –> 27:48.000] And I mean, it just seems like I haven’t played much since we did the episode on Disney Dreamlight Valley, [27:48.000 –> 27:56.000] but the amount of cosmetic stuff that they have been putting into the game with every release that comes out is pretty absurd. [27:56.000 –> 28:00.000] So if you haven’t played this game in a while and some of the customization was a reason why, [28:00.000 –> 28:06.000] because when it first launched, it was very light. It’s getting absurdly deep with the amount of customization. [28:06.000 –> 28:10.000] So worth jumping back into for some of that stuff. [28:10.000 –> 28:17.000] Yeah, no, absolutely. I need to get, I think I’m going to wait until the 1.0 release just because I’m like, [28:17.000 –> 28:22.000] I don’t want to actually pay money for it and I was playing on Game Pass before and my Game Pass runs out in like two weeks [28:22.000 –> 28:26.000] and I’m not paying for Game Pass just now because I have too many games as it is. [28:26.000 –> 28:31.000] So, yeah, and I was getting a bit frustrated with the streaming of it. [28:31.000 –> 28:37.000] But I think once this goes 1.0 and free to play, I am going to get lost. [28:37.000 –> 28:42.000] Yeah, we might need to do another follow-up episode once it goes 1.0 because I’m in that same bucket. [28:42.000 –> 28:46.000] Once it goes 1.0, that’s when I think I’ll be ready to jump back in. [28:46.000 –> 28:50.000] Yep, yep, yep. There aren’t many games we’ve done that for. We did it for Ooblets. [28:50.000 –> 28:54.000] We’ve done it for anything else. I don’t think we’ve done it for anything else, but I plan to do it for more. [28:54.000 –> 28:57.000] Definitely want to do it for Coral Island. Definitely wanted to do it for Dreamlight Valley. [28:58.000 –> 29:03.000] Spirit of the Island have got a new free DLC, which is interesting. [29:03.000 –> 29:08.000] So it’s a DLC because it’s like a separate thing that you get from Steam rather than just an update. [29:08.000 –> 29:15.000] But why if it’s free? I don’t understand why you would do that, but I don’t care enough to argue about it. [29:15.000 –> 29:20.000] I wonder if it’s like a little marketing thing because it’s a new product. [29:20.000 –> 29:24.000] That’s a good point. Maybe it bumps up lists and stuff like that. Could be. [29:24.000 –> 29:31.000] It’s also possible that they want to have paid DLC later and this is just like getting people used to the idea of DLC. [29:31.000 –> 29:35.000] Yeah. Either way, more free content is always good. [29:35.000 –> 29:40.000] Yep. It’s out now. Sorry, I was just adding it to my content library there because I do own the game. [29:40.000 –> 29:43.000] I don’t know if I’ve played it, but I do own it. [29:43.000 –> 29:49.000] And an update rather than the DLC because this game hasn’t hit 1.0 yet is Orange Season. [29:49.000 –> 29:56.000] The Frostfall update, which if you couldn’t figure out, adds a bunch of stuff for Autumn and Winter. [29:56.000 –> 30:00.000] I’m not sure why they called it Frostfall and then said with Autumn and Winter season. [30:00.000 –> 30:04.000] It’s like, come on, get on your consistency there. Are you going to call it Fall or are you going to call it Autumn? [30:04.000 –> 30:07.000] Although I guess Frost Autumn doesn’t really sound as good, does it? [30:07.000 –> 30:20.000] Is Orange Season… Yeah, Orange Season is kind of the Stardew Valley clone that has yet to show off anything that actually stands out as a sort of unique selling point. [30:20.000 –> 30:32.000] But it does have a better name than it originally did because this was the one that was called Fantasy Farming Orange Season and then they just changed it to Orange Season, which is an infinitely better name. [30:32.000 –> 30:35.000] It is definitely better. I will not commit to it being infinitely better. [30:35.000 –> 30:42.000] I think it’s infinitely better because Fantasy Farming Orange Season is possibly the worst name they could have chosen. [30:42.000 –> 30:55.000] Blah, blah, blah. Anything to say about this? No, it’s an early access update. If you play the game, go get it. If you don’t play the game, by now you’re probably waiting for 1.0. [30:56.000 –> 31:03.000] And if you’ve played the game and you think it’s decent, let us know because I would be interested to hear. [31:03.000 –> 31:10.000] Sometimes you look at these games and you’re like, are people just bad at advertising their product? Because many times they are, right? [31:10.000 –> 31:15.000] Particularly when it’s small indie developers and they’re not advertising, they’re just game developers. [31:15.000 –> 31:23.000] So sometimes these things, we may be overly harsh if you’ve actually played the game because we’re just looking at a trailer or something like that. [31:23.000 –> 31:27.000] And a lot of these people are not marketers by trade. Yep, absolutely. [31:27.000 –> 31:33.000] And we can’t play all the games because there are too many games, as we said before. [31:33.000 –> 31:37.000] Okay, so we’re now getting into some slightly meatier stuff. [31:37.000 –> 31:48.000] So, Grimoire Groves, I think is how it’s pronounced, their Kickstarter is now live, which means, Johnny, we actually have some information about this game now. [31:48.000 –> 31:54.000] Like I think previously it was like, oh, here’s a piece of art. And that was basically it. [31:54.000 –> 32:03.000] So they’re calling this a cozy magical gardening adventure, grow cute plants and friendships with your witch magic. [32:03.000 –> 32:07.000] And then there’s a big long Kickstarter with a whole bunch of information. [32:07.000 –> 32:14.000] They’re also saying it’s a cozy roguelite dungeon crawler, which to me feels like a contradiction in terms. [32:14.000 –> 32:22.000] Well, I agree. But looking at the trailer, it didn’t give off strong combat vibes and maybe more like exploration. [32:22.000 –> 32:32.000] I assume it’s like, you know, maybe once your mana depletes or something to that effect, then that’s when you get kicked out rather than a sort of when you die. [32:32.000 –> 32:41.000] That was the impression that I got, which I think is a really interesting take if it’s like, yeah, more exploration based roguelite rather than a combat based roguelite. [32:41.000 –> 32:49.000] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because it says a cozy roguelite dungeon crawler that will transport you to a world of wonder and excitement. [32:49.000 –> 32:59.000] In this game, you’ll play as a young witch who grows cute plant creatures and discovers the secrets of the grimoire groves, a forest inhabited by mythical creatures and powerful spirits. [32:59.000 –> 33:05.000] And it might be because it looks like the plants are walking around after you’ve grown numb. [33:05.000 –> 33:10.000] So it could be if there is combat that your plants do the combat, like maybe it’s a plants versus zombies type thing. [33:10.000 –> 33:18.000] Yeah, it’s hard to know. But what sort of stood out to me is in the Kickstarter page, they sort of list the games that they were heavily inspired by. [33:18.000 –> 33:23.000] And they list Animal Crossing, Hades, Stardew Valley, Moonlighter and Wizard of Legend. [33:23.000 –> 33:29.000] Now, I have not played Wizard of Legend, but I have played the other four games and I love all four of those games. [33:29.000 –> 33:38.000] So when I saw that, I was very excited because they’re four like quite different games to have together as your inspiration. [33:38.000 –> 33:42.000] But the fact that I like them all, I am very excited by this. [33:42.000 –> 33:54.000] Yeah, I’m definitely willing to see how it goes because Cult of the Lamb I was very suspicious of combining the kind of roguelite stuff with farming, which worked really well. [33:54.000 –> 34:01.000] But I certainly wouldn’t say that was cozy. It didn’t feel cozy. It was still stressful. That’s the thing, right? [34:01.000 –> 34:06.000] And this looks cozier than Cult of the Lamb. At least it gives off cozier vibes. [34:06.000 –> 34:12.000] Yeah, no, absolutely. I agree. Like the colour palette and all of that, it definitely screams cozy. [34:12.000 –> 34:17.000] Oh my word, there’s a massive axolotl dragon type thing. I want an axolotl dragon. [34:17.000 –> 34:18.000] That does sound amazing. [34:18.000 –> 34:20.000] His face, so derpy. [34:20.000 –> 34:32.000] Yeah, the whole vibe of this game is very cute. I haven’t back to Kickstarter in ages and I’m kind of getting tempted to back this one because it looks cool. [34:32.000 –> 34:40.000] And I know that I said I’m very over sort of the witchy magic thing in farming games, but not for this one. This one is okay. [34:40.000 –> 34:49.000] And the Kickstarter is fully funded as of recording and there’s still 30 days to go. So it’s happening. [34:49.000 –> 34:53.000] Yeah, I’ve already backed it. I backed it as soon as it went live. [34:54.000 –> 34:57.000] I found another paragraph in the Kickstarter that gives us more hints. [34:57.000 –> 35:02.000] So this game being a rogue light means that you will die a lot, right? Don’t worry. [35:02.000 –> 35:06.000] The worst thing that can happen is falling asleep after spending too much magical energy. [35:06.000 –> 35:12.000] And even if that happens, each time you play, you’ll unlock new abilities and upgrades that will help you get further on your next. [35:12.000 –> 35:19.000] So it definitely does sound like it’s more like a kind of standard rogue light than Cult of the Lamb. [35:19.000 –> 35:30.000] It doesn’t sound like you have a base that doesn’t change. It sounds like the rogue light part of it is your gaining of upgrades and new ways to do things for the next playthrough, like Hades. [35:30.000 –> 35:38.000] Yeah, but even with Hades, there was like a central hub. And you upgraded things at the hub. [35:38.000 –> 35:45.000] What does the hub look like? Does it actually mean anything or is it basically just like a glorified menu? [35:45.000 –> 35:49.000] Well, there’s lots of characters that you could interact with at the hub. [35:49.000 –> 36:01.000] Like in many respects, it was a bit of a glorified menu, but there was a lot of interaction stuff and added a lot of color and flavor to the world of Hades. [36:01.000 –> 36:07.000] So it’s definitely not fair to say it was just a menu, but like that was the primary function that it served. [36:07.000 –> 36:13.000] Like there wasn’t huge gameplay elements. It was more like after each run, here’s a five minute break before you start the next run. [36:13.000 –> 36:21.000] See, this is what I liked about Cult of the Lamb is that your hub was a farm that you were building up, right? That was the farming bit of it. [36:21.000 –> 36:29.000] And even if you died, you would respawn in your farm the way the farm was and what you lost was what you had on the journey. [36:29.000 –> 36:34.000] Whereas it sounds like this is more like your standard rogue lights like Hades and… [36:34.000 –> 36:41.000] Oh, what’s the… atomic crops? Where, yeah, sure, you have a hub, and there are people there and stuff. [36:41.000 –> 36:45.000] But the point of that is just to upgrade stuff and then keep going on your thing. [36:45.000 –> 36:52.000] Whereas Cult of the Lamb was, this is the place you’re spending most of your time, or I want to go get some stuff, let’s go out into the rogue light aspect. [36:52.000 –> 36:57.000] Well, there is a demo out, so potentially we could try and find out. [36:57.000 –> 37:01.000] Come on, Johnny, I don’t have time for demos! [37:01.000 –> 37:05.000] If I can’t make a podcast episode on it, I’m not doing it. [37:05.000 –> 37:08.000] That is entirely reasonable. [37:08.000 –> 37:15.000] Yeah, okay, cool. That’s probably enough on that one, but it looks great. I have already backed it, linked to the Kickstarter if you want it. [37:15.000 –> 37:21.000] Next, we have Fields of Mystria. So, again, this was a game we didn’t know much about before. [37:21.000 –> 37:26.000] We knew it was a farming game of some kind, but that was all we really knew. [37:26.000 –> 37:37.000] We have a trailer, and we have a lot of new stuff, so the Steam page has a bun

[00:35.040 –> 00:41.040] My name is Cody. And I’m Kevin. And we’re here today to talk about Cottagecore games. [00:41.040 –> 00:46.040] I’m gonna say whatever they want. And whatever you guys are asking us. [00:46.060 –> 01:01.060] We’re finally after much time and demand and me pushing Al to do it. We’re doing the mailbag episode. [01:01.060 –> 01:09.060] I’ve been really kind of wanting to get more emails and questions in because I think they’re pretty fun on other podcasts I listen to. [01:09.080 –> 01:14.080] We have condensed all the ones we had into one episode for now. [01:14.080 –> 01:18.080] I don’t know if we’ll do this again or drip read them later like the one Johnny and I did a while back. [01:18.080 –> 01:23.080] But that’s the plan for today along with your usual news and whatnot. [01:23.080 –> 01:29.080] As always we would like you to know that transcripts are available in the show notes and on the website harvestseason.club. [01:29.080 –> 01:34.080] So if you would like a copy of the transcripts that is where you can find them. [01:34.100 –> 01:39.100] Yeah there we go. So let’s just dive right on in. [01:39.100 –> 01:40.100] Cody what have you been up to? [01:40.100 –> 01:48.100] I was going to say we’re not going to dive in. Before our main topic we have news and before that I have been up to Hollow Knight. [01:48.100 –> 01:55.100] I have beaten. Beat? Beaten? Is beaten a word? Like is that an accurate? [01:55.100 –> 01:57.100] Beaten yes beaten. [01:57.100 –> 01:59.100] Is it like an accurate use of that word? I don’t even know. [01:59.100 –> 02:01.100] I’m gonna guess yes. [02:01.120 –> 02:03.120] That’s an answer. [02:03.120 –> 02:12.120] There’s like three bosses that you’re supposed to defeat and then you can defeat like then you can basically beat the game. [02:12.120 –> 02:22.120] I’ve done the three so I just need to like go do the last boss and I am putting it off because yeah I don’t know. [02:22.120 –> 02:28.120] I just want to do the I’m the kind of person where I’m like I want to do everything and then beat the game. [02:28.120 –> 02:30.120] There is a lot to do in Hollow Knight. [02:30.140 –> 02:32.140] There really is. [02:32.140 –> 02:43.140] Also if I beat the other part of the game like if I beat that boss then it’ll give me a percentage like on the loading screen so then I can see how much left I still have. [02:43.140 –> 02:48.140] I probably have only I’ve put like over a hundred and some odd hours into that game. [02:48.140 –> 02:50.140] So what maybe 50% there? [02:50.140 –> 02:52.140] Yeah exactly. [02:52.160 –> 02:56.160] I was not even joking I was about to say I think I’m about 50%. [02:56.160 –> 03:01.160] I think like I’m pretty sure there are whole areas that I haven’t discovered yet. [03:01.160 –> 03:07.160] That’s correct right like the real kicker is the DLC is just in there right there’s no DLC menu no DLC area. [03:07.160 –> 03:08.160] Correct. [03:08.160 –> 03:11.160] So you go above 100% that’s the real killer right there. [03:11.160 –> 03:13.160] You go up to 112. [03:13.160 –> 03:21.160] So yeah I don’t and I’m actually I’ve already encountered some of the DLC areas so that’s crazy. [03:21.180 –> 03:27.180] But yeah so I’ve been playing that and then with my partner I’ve been playing Overcooked 2. [03:27.180 –> 03:38.180] They are on like the fifth area the fifth direction I guess I don’t know so we’re doing that and I’m really enjoying that. [03:38.180 –> 03:49.180] I think he is enjoying it a little less than I am like I could play it for like eight hours straight like many hours straight and after like an hour or two he’s like okay I’m done. [03:49.200 –> 03:56.200] I think it hurts his eyes because like my TV is so far away from oh but but still like that game is just amazing yeah. [03:56.200 –> 04:03.200] I haven’t touched in a minute I know there’s all you can eat edition like I assume they’ve just been putting more and more in that I need to get in check that out. [04:03.200 –> 04:05.200] That sounds amazing like it just keeps going. [04:05.200 –> 04:15.200] Yeah so the initial thing from what I remember is that they were basically putting both games together in the all you can eat edition I think they called it right. [04:15.220 –> 04:25.220] And it was like all the Overcooked 1 in the new engine so like everything’s revamped wow and it’s nice and I’m pretty sure like their goal was like okay this is going to be our platform or whatever. [04:25.220 –> 04:33.220] Now we’re just going to keep adding levels and stuff here yeah so because I mean yeah that’s the kind of game where you can just just give me more forever right. [04:33.220 –> 04:42.220] Yeah instead of this like 10 minutes or like six minutes or whatever to beat and to try and get a certain score just like keep her going you know. [04:42.240 –> 04:44.240] Yep yep yep yep yep. [04:44.240 –> 04:47.240] Yeah other than that I’ve just been doing research so. [04:47.240 –> 04:52.240] Yeah what have you been researching what have you discovered? [04:52.240 –> 05:10.240] So I’m trying to finish a project from last year so in my research like in some type of ecology like so mine is entomology but if you’re looking at ecology of anything usually you have a season where your study species is active and then you’re collecting them, [05:10.260 –> 05:22.260] surveying them, doing all of that and then when they’re no longer active that is when you will kind of like identify and run your analyses and then after that that’s when you’ll write. [05:22.260 –> 05:34.260] So I’m in the writing season now but I actually like I have new fieldwork to start up here in a couple weeks and so it’s like I’m like really trying to get the old stuff done because. [05:34.280 –> 05:35.280] Sure. [05:35.280 –> 05:47.280] I mean they can overlap it’s not a huge deal but it just basically pushes my ability to do the new stuff like later into the year and then everything kind of gets behind excuse me. [05:47.280 –> 06:03.280] So yeah this year I’m looking at insect communities in the canopy versus the understory and then on edge versus forest interior habitats so like think of like a meadow habitat versus like in the middle of a forest. [06:03.300 –> 06:06.300] And trying to see like how how that changes so. [06:06.300 –> 06:07.300] Okay. [06:07.300 –> 06:08.300] Throughout the year. [06:08.300 –> 06:09.300] Okay that’s neat. [06:09.300 –> 06:12.300] Also very in line with the Hollow Knight stuff. [06:12.300 –> 06:13.300] Yeah true. [06:13.300 –> 06:17.300] What about you Kev what are you doing up to? [06:17.300 –> 06:24.300] I have been up to so I talked about it last week on my mad solo episode. [06:24.320 –> 06:33.320] I made the unfortunate mistake of seeing there was a let’s build a zoo update and some of that game has its meaty hooks back into me. [06:33.320 –> 06:40.320] That’s that’s just one of those games where you can just pick up and just go for it until you burn out go with it until you burn out. [06:40.320 –> 06:45.320] And yeah so that that’s the primary gaming stuff and just usual. [06:45.320 –> 06:47.320] Yeah are you still playing marble snap? [06:47.320 –> 06:48.320] I am. [06:48.340 –> 06:49.340] I am. [06:49.340 –> 06:56.340] That game is in a good place right now they’ve they’ve made a lot of updates recently and it’s good and fresh and I’m enjoying it. [06:56.340 –> 07:01.340] Yeah I’m what I do want to talk about though because that’s all same old same old. [07:01.340 –> 07:04.340] I watched a good number of movies actually in the past week. [07:04.340 –> 07:05.340] Okay. [07:05.340 –> 07:12.340] So last weekend I don’t know why or how but my siblings and I we just said you know what we’re just going to marathon every Pirates of the Caribbean movie. [07:12.340 –> 07:14.340] Those are good movies yep yep. [07:14.360 –> 07:31.360] So okay like the first one is a timeless classic like it still holds up like dang that that movie is a master like just a master class in set design and costume design everyone looks so good. [07:31.360 –> 07:35.360] The second one well have you seen them all Cody before? [07:35.360 –> 07:36.360] Yes yes I have. [07:36.360 –> 07:40.360] Okay you have okay I had only seen the first three until last weekend. [07:40.380 –> 07:46.380] So second one well I mean second third one I think everyone knows like it goes off the rails it gets crazy. [07:46.380 –> 07:49.380] The one thing I will say that CGI still holds up really well. [07:49.380 –> 07:54.380] Davy Jones looks really really good considering it was like early 2000s. [07:54.380 –> 07:55.380] I didn’t realize it was CG. [07:55.380 –> 07:57.380] Oh Davy Jones sorry. [07:57.380 –> 07:58.380] Yes. [07:58.380 –> 08:04.380] You said Davy Jones my brain thought Johnny Depp and I was like I was like that wasn’t that’s his face. [08:04.380 –> 08:08.380] Johnny Depp’s CGI in real life too. [08:08.380 –> 08:09.380] Poor dude. [08:09.400 –> 08:16.400] Yeah but yeah no Davy Jones that was so so good such a good story too. [08:16.400 –> 08:26.400] I liked it like the second one was good and the third one just went place like I don’t know I’m meh on the third one. [08:26.400 –> 08:32.400] But I mean I think most people have seen the first three at least because that was you know whole trilogy and they link together. [08:32.400 –> 08:36.400] What I will talk about though is the fourth and fifth ones like I said I’d never seen them before. [08:36.420 –> 08:41.420] The fourth one man I really liked that one I liked it better than the third now. [08:41.420 –> 08:44.420] Maybe on par with the second I don’t know if it’s as good as the first. [08:44.420 –> 08:50.420] It feels like they went back to their roots of just pirate adventures. [08:50.420 –> 08:59.420] And more importantly it has Penelope Cruz and she’s absolutely incredible in everything I’ve ever seen with her in it. [08:59.420 –> 09:02.420] And has Ian McShane what’s his name Blackbeard. [09:02.440 –> 09:06.440] Oh I don’t know his name but I know who you’re talking about. [09:06.440 –> 09:08.440] Yeah Ian McShane that’s what it is. [09:08.440 –> 09:14.440] Yeah he’s a fantastic actor he’s in the John Wick movie I’ve seen that he’s great in that too. [09:14.440 –> 09:17.440] And he did great as Blackbeard. [09:17.440 –> 09:21.440] Yeah man that fourth movie was just so good. [09:21.440 –> 09:25.440] There’s Penelope Cruz’s in it that’s all I need. [09:27.440 –> 09:31.440] And then the fifth one oh man okay what are your thoughts on the fifth one. [09:31.460 –> 09:39.460] I think I need to look at the okay fifth that’s Dead Men Tell No Tales yeah that’s the one. [09:39.460 –> 09:47.460] Oh this is the one that has that guy Javier Bardem as yeah gosh what who was he in that. [09:47.460 –> 09:51.460] He was the villain he was Captain Salazar he was a ghost pilot. [09:51.480 –> 09:53.480] Yeah. [09:53.480 –> 09:57.480] Oh and it has Will’s child. [09:57.480 –> 09:59.480] Yeah. [09:59.480 –> 10:05.480] You know I mean I think it should the fact that I forgot about this. [10:05.480 –> 10:07.480] There you go. [10:07.480 –> 10:09.480] Should tell you. [10:09.480 –> 10:11.480] About how I feel. [10:13.480 –> 10:17.480] That one was a bit of a disaster in my opinion. [10:17.480 –> 10:19.480] Yeah. [10:19.500 –> 10:28.500] It felt like they tried to redo the first one because they have the kids or the kid of Will and Elizabeth right. [10:28.500 –> 10:34.500] And then there’s this other new girl that’s in there and they’re just trying to redo it it feels like. [10:34.500 –> 10:38.500] But it’s the chemistry is just not there. [10:40.500 –> 10:45.500] This felt like the most phoning it in Johnny Depp did as Captain Jack Sparrow. [10:45.520 –> 10:53.520] Also I think they just focused on him less which I don’t know if was for better or worse I don’t know just all over the place. [10:53.520 –> 10:59.520] Best part was gosh was named Geoffrey Rush Barbossa because he’s fantastic in all the movies. [10:59.520 –> 11:11.520] So he was cool but that that was kind of it every new thing after watching all five movies the key takeaway is the more that movie is about actually like pirates and stuff. [11:11.540 –> 11:17.540] That’s cool the more it’s about weird sea magic that’s that’s not as good. [11:17.540 –> 11:21.540] So they should just keep to more pirate stories and whatnot. [11:21.540 –> 11:25.540] Javier Bardem was cool as Captain Salazar. [11:25.540 –> 11:27.540] He has a beautiful name. [11:27.540 –> 11:29.540] I love his accent. [11:29.540 –> 11:31.540] His. [11:31.540 –> 11:33.540] The villains were okay written. [11:33.560 –> 11:41.560] The part that got me the part that knew would define the movie for me were the zombie sharks. [11:41.560 –> 11:46.560] Jumping the zombie sharks oh my goodness. [11:46.560 –> 11:56.560] I just remember he like I’m trying I’m looking I’m googling him because like the pictures of Salazar because I loved like his cracked face. [11:56.560 –> 11:58.560] Yeah it was a good design. [11:58.560 –> 12:01.560] I do remember really enjoying that. [12:01.580 –> 12:09.580] Yeah no he he was good right but like I think the whole thing the plot was just kind of weird but I think the character was cool. [12:09.580 –> 12:14.580] Yeah like I said zombie sharks is more than over the top. [12:14.580 –> 12:22.580] Yeah but yeah so there were some high points in that movie but overall fourth one was really good though. [12:22.580 –> 12:24.580] You have Barbossa. [12:24.600 –> 12:31.600] I didn’t like I guess like the I the story of the mermaid and the fourth one made me really sad. [12:31.600 –> 12:41.600] Yeah yeah the mermaid was yeah it wasn’t I mean like yeah now I get you but I you’re supposed to feel that I think right question mark. [12:41.600 –> 12:45.600] So yeah I don’t know I liked it it was good enough. [12:45.600 –> 12:53.600] It was a little over the top in places too but overall yeah so there you go there’s my crash course in the five Pirates of the Caribbean movies. [12:53.620 –> 12:55.620] No I’ve seen them all. [12:55.620 –> 13:01.620] And one other movie that I just watched just yesterday no Friday whatever two days ago. [13:01.620 –> 13:03.620] Suzume have you heard of this? [13:03.620 –> 13:04.620] I have not. [13:04.620 –> 13:07.620] Okay have you heard of your name or weathering with you? [13:07.620 –> 13:08.620] Nope. [13:08.620 –> 13:10.620] Okay oh boy. [13:10.620 –> 13:14.620] Some customers are not customers some listeners are screaming right now. [13:14.620 –> 13:20.620] Maybe internally well I don’t blame you because they’re anime films let’s be clear right. [13:20.620 –> 13:22.620] I mean I like anime. [13:22.640 –> 13:32.640] Yeah sure sure sure but I’m just saying they’re not it’s a little more niche it doesn’t get the big you know up front marketing that a bunch of other films get right. [13:32.640 –> 13:36.640] So that I get it why you might have missed you might have missed them. [13:36.640 –> 13:38.640] The name of this director. [13:38.640 –> 13:39.640] No worries. [13:39.640 –> 13:51.640] Okay Makoto Shinkai is he’s the director and he this is his third movie they’re not a trilogy and like their plots are related but they’re a set if you will right. [13:51.660 –> 13:57.660] Like you can you know you know what I’m talking about right like three movies they go together even though they’re not sequels or anything. [13:57.660 –> 14:17.660] And so I haven’t seen your name to be fair so you know people will blast me for that but weathering with you is about a magical girl who can control the weather but it like costs her she only has a limited amount of time to live or something like that because of this ability. [14:17.680 –> 14:29.680] They’re all kind of like disaster-esque movies but they’re also kind of magical they’re really well done this movie Suzume which just released recently. [14:29.680 –> 14:45.680] So this one’s interesting because there’s doors around Japan and these giant magical worms like I’m talking like colossal giant sky sized worms and when they crash they come out of the doors and they land on the ground and earthquake happens in Japan. [14:45.700 –> 14:53.700] Nobody can see the worms but except for a hint like two people in the story and they have to go around find these doors and close them. [14:53.700 –> 15:01.700] And so yeah so that’s the plot of the story but also one of the guys gets turned into a chair. [15:01.700 –> 15:06.700] It’s really goofy but cute he’s like a little toddler’s chair. [15:06.700 –> 15:11.700] Oh I was gonna say you gotta describe what kind of chair because there’s a lot of different kinds of chair. [15:11.720 –> 15:20.720] It actually belongs so the lead Suzume that’s her name that’s the protagonist’s name she has this childhood chair as a memento from her mom. [15:20.720 –> 15:31.720] And because of magical hijinks the other dude who’s the deuteragonist gets his body transformed into this chair but he can walk around and talk and stuff. [15:31.740 –> 15:51.740] Yeah like these movies are Ghibli-esque they’re not as maybe so Ghibli is almost a little bit more Disney-like these are a little less Disney-like but it has that same niche of wonder and whimsy right. [15:51.740 –> 16:00.740] But they also hit I think a more emotional tone especially towards the end towards the latter end of the movies there’s some deep stuff in there. [16:00.760 –> 16:09.760] But anyways I’m trying to dance around you know too many details because spoilers and whatnot but I really recommend people watch them they’re really good. [16:09.760 –> 16:10.760] What are they on? [16:10.760 –> 16:14.760] Well that’s a good question Suzume is in theaters I know that. [16:14.760 –> 16:15.760] Oh okay. [16:15.760 –> 16:21.760] I don’t know if it’s already let’s see your name like yeah you can find them all you can just find out YouTube, Apple TV, Google Play. [16:21.780 –> 16:28.780] If you watch that with some friends yeah same thing like that you can just Google HBO Max there you go that’s right. [16:28.780 –> 16:30.780] Yep I have that. [16:30.780 –> 16:40.780] There’s different places though but yeah I just highly recommend them if you like Ghibli films you’ll probably like these because they’re anime films and the animation is just as quality and beautiful. [16:40.800 –> 16:51.800] And there’s of course the whole sub versus dub debate I’ve watched I can’t remember Suzume watched dub I can’t remember if I watched weathering with you dub or sub. [16:51.800 –> 16:54.800] I mean I’m partial to both I don’t have any preference. [16:54.800 –> 17:08.800] Yeah I my only thing so my only thing with subbed is that I like with my ADHD if I am just watching something like if I’m just sitting and watching something my ADHD is going wild. [17:08.820 –> 17:18.820] So I like to if I’m watching something I love to like knit or crochet or like be doing something with my hands at the same time and I can’t do that when it’s subbed. [17:18.820 –> 17:19.820] Sure. [17:19.820 –> 17:22.820] So I generally like the dub person. [17:22.820 –> 17:26.820] Okay well they you’re in luck because the dub was excellent in my opinion. [17:26.820 –> 17:27.820] Sweet. [17:27.820 –> 17:28.820] Yep so. [17:28.820 –> 17:29.820] Cool. [17:29.820 –> 17:30.820] There you go. [17:30.820 –> 17:31.820] Okay. [17:31.820 –> 17:32.820] Yeah. [17:32.820 –> 17:33.820] Well let’s move on to the news. [17:33.820 –> 17:35.820] Yes that’s enough from our weeks. [17:35.840 –> 17:40.840] So first bit of news Kev you’re so excited. [17:40.840 –> 17:42.840] Yes I am. [17:42.840 –> 17:45.840] Maneka we have a date. [17:45.840 –> 17:47.840] Finally. [17:47.840 –> 18:04.840] Yeah so part of the indie world that just happened they released they announced the release date of Maneka’s Night Market and they also released like a little cute little trailer that you can watch that kind of explains the lore of the area. [18:04.860 –> 18:15.860] And what’s going on in this area and kind of I don’t know shows a little bit of other of other cute things and you getting ready for the night market. [18:15.860 –> 18:20.860] So but this is your baby so tell me how do you feel? [18:20.860 –> 18:27.860] For people who may not know this was on my most anticipated game for the next year two years running. [18:27.860 –> 18:28.860] Yeah. [18:28.860 –> 18:31.860] Oh it’s been such a long time. [18:31.880 –> 18:43.880] I mean what what is there to say about Maneka like oh it’s you’re farming but you’re going to be selling things at a magical night market the farming is also magical you farm cats. [18:43.880 –> 18:45.880] You ride cats? [18:45.880 –> 18:49.880] Yes the art is just gorgeous that’s really what sells me about it. [18:49.880 –> 18:52.880] I just can’t wait for this game. [18:52.880 –> 18:54.880] There’s a big cat I don’t. [18:54.880 –> 18:56.880] They don’t care. [18:56.880 –> 18:58.880] They don’t care. [18:58.900 –> 19:09.900] Yeah so it showed the new trailer showed you riding cats like in like a race and they run so cute it’s it’s just pure it’s wholesome as heck. [19:09.900 –> 19:23.900] It also showed you like cutting gosh what was it like a tulip like you were like cutting up a plant up to get ready for the market like I think I’m assuming you like make a bouquet out of that. [19:23.920 –> 19:47.920] And then it also showed you like stitching something which had me my me and my craftiness I was like oh um because that was cool like sewing something I guess it’s not stitching something but um yeah cute little gameplay trailer um gameplay slash lore trailer so and now look at the trailer see that’s what five months away. [19:47.920 –> 19:51.920] 156 days as of this recording. [19:51.940 –> 19:56.940] Well every episode now you have to say how many days there are. [19:56.940 –> 19:58.940] Oh absolutely. [19:58.940 –> 20:00.940] Mineko watch is now a thing. [20:00.940 –> 20:02.940] Hashtag Mineko watch. [20:02.940 –> 20:04.940] Oh my goodness. [20:04.940 –> 20:06.940] Why are the FBI agents chasing her? [20:06.940 –> 20:08.940] Why is Mineko dressed like a cat in one scene? [20:08.940 –> 20:10.940] I don’t know. [20:10.940 –> 20:12.940] I just want to find out when I play. [20:12.940 –> 20:14.940] You’re gonna find out. [20:14.940 –> 20:16.940] There’s a day now. [20:16.940 –> 20:18.940] There’s a date. [20:18.940 –> 20:20.940] Man those cat races look real good. [20:20.960 –> 20:25.960] Alright that’s all that matters from this episode to me. [20:25.960 –> 20:41.960] No I mean the next time or the next thing on here is in the news is My Time at Sandrock also has a little bit of a new trailer so again this is by the same people who did My Time at Portia. [20:41.960 –> 20:43.960] I see yes. [20:43.980 –> 20:51.980] Sandrock is a desert town and you turn a rundown workshop into a well-oiled facility is what you’re doing. [20:51.980 –> 21:11.980] So if you enjoyed My Time at Portia which I know some listeners did then this new game My Time at Sandrock is coming to Switch quote unquote summer 2023 so sometime in the next few months or I guess it could be like six months because they could push it to like the end of summer. [21:12.000 –> 21:14.000] Even summer is loose. [21:14.000 –> 21:16.000] How has it summer in quotation marks? [21:16.000 –> 21:18.000] Yeah in quotation marks. [21:18.000 –> 21:20.000] And that is the correct attitude. [21:20.000 –> 21:22.000] Yeah. [21:22.000 –> 21:24.000] I didn’t play My Time at Portia. [21:24.000 –> 21:26.000] Yeah I didn’t either. [21:26.000 –> 21:28.000] And I’m pretty meh about it. [21:28.000 –> 21:30.000] So yeah that’s a thing. [21:30.000 –> 21:32.000] There’s a lot going on. [21:32.000 –> 21:34.000] Look at the trailer. [21:34.000 –> 21:36.000] There’s a first person shooter portion of this trailer. [21:36.000 –> 21:38.000] Yeah. [21:38.000 –> 21:40.000] That’s a lot going on. [21:40.020 –> 21:42.020] Speaking of a lot going on, ooblets. [21:42.020 –> 21:44.020] There is a lot going on with that one. [21:44.020 –> 21:46.020] There is. [21:46.020 –> 21:48.020] And there’s a new spring event. [21:48.020 –> 21:50.020] And so there’s a spring update that’s just happening now. [21:50.020 –> 21:52.020] In that update there is a minimum time ooblet. [21:52.020 –> 21:54.020] Sorry limited time. [21:54.020 –> 21:56.020] So like it’s only available for a certain amount of time. [21:56.020 –> 21:58.020] Yeah. [21:58.020 –> 22:00.020] A bunny I think. [22:00.040 –> 22:02.040] Yeah I’m not sure which one it is. [22:02.040 –> 22:04.040] But yeah. [22:04.040 –> 22:06.040] There’s one that’s limited. [22:06.040 –> 22:08.040] There’s another new one that you can get that’s not that one. [22:08.040 –> 22:10.040] There’s these Glimmy… [22:10.040 –> 22:12.040] Glimmy Globes. [22:12.040 –> 22:14.040] Which look like little snow globes to me. [22:14.040 –> 22:16.040] Yeah they do. [22:16.040 –> 22:18.040] That’s cute. [22:18.040 –> 22:20.040] They’re like little snow globes. [22:20.040 –> 22:22.040] Yeah they do. [22:22.040 –> 22:24.040] That’s cute. [22:24.040 –> 22:26.040] They’re like little snow globes. [22:26.040 –> 22:28.040] They’re like little snow globes. [22:28.060 –> 22:30.060] They’re like a little ship in a bottle. [22:30.060 –> 22:32.060] That you can design. [22:32.060 –> 22:34.060] And make. [22:34.060 –> 22:36.060] And those are really cute. [22:36.060 –> 22:38.060] I know that there were some people [22:38.060 –> 22:40.060] I’m trying to go into. [22:40.060 –> 22:42.060] There was recently some ooblets talk in Slack. [22:42.060 –> 22:44.060] Cat. [22:44.060 –> 22:46.060] Cat in Slack. [22:46.060 –> 22:48.060] Shout out to Cat. [22:48.060 –> 22:50.060] Said that… [22:50.060 –> 22:52.060] It’s one of our favorites. [22:52.060 –> 22:54.060] True, true, true. [22:54.060 –> 22:56.060] That they are playing [22:56.080 –> 22:58.080] ooblets right now. [22:58.080 –> 23:00.080] And they said [23:00.080 –> 23:02.080] quote I really didn’t think I’d like it [23:02.080 –> 23:04.080] but I’m glad I gave it a try. [23:04.080 –> 23:06.080] Oddly enough this [23:06.080 –> 23:08.080] trailer is I think the most [23:08.080 –> 23:10.080] the one that’s intrigued me the most. [23:10.080 –> 23:12.080] I don’t know why. [23:12.080 –> 23:14.080] Something about the little bottles. [23:14.080 –> 23:16.080] Something about it’s real cute. [23:16.080 –> 23:18.080] That looked really cute to me too. [23:18.080 –> 23:20.080] We’re getting [23:20.080 –> 23:22.080] that bunny tater flop it’s called. [23:22.080 –> 23:24.080] Yeah tater flop seed. [23:24.100 –> 23:26.100] Tater flop. [23:26.100 –> 23:28.100] Oh that’d be so good if it was. [23:28.100 –> 23:30.100] So yeah. [23:30.100 –> 23:32.100] If you are into ooblets or if you want to try it out [23:32.100 –> 23:34.100] now’s a good time not only from our mouth [23:34.100 –> 23:36.100] but from our listeners mouth as well. [23:36.100 –> 23:38.100] Yeah. [23:38.100 –> 23:40.100] It’s until [23:40.100 –> 23:42.100] the spring event is going until the end of [23:42.100 –> 23:44.100] May 31st. [23:44.100 –> 23:46.100] Oh my goodness. [23:46.100 –> 23:48.100] There are 459 variations [23:48.100 –> 23:50.100] of Glimmy Globes so you probably [23:50.100 –> 23:52.100] shouldn’t try to craft them all. [23:52.120 –> 23:54.120] Ublipses. [23:54.120 –> 23:56.120] Unless. [23:56.120 –> 23:58.120] Challenge accepted. [23:58.120 –> 24:00.120] Yeah there you go. [24:00.120 –> 24:02.120] Ooblets for you ooblets people. [24:02.120 –> 24:04.120] Sun Haven. [24:08.120 –> 24:10.120] Update 101 [24:10.120 –> 24:12.120] and in here [24:12.120 –> 24:14.120] I don’t know if you wrote this [24:14.120 –> 24:16.120] or if Al wrote this. [24:16.120 –> 24:18.120] No that was Al. [24:18.120 –> 24:20.120] I thought it was you who wrote it. [24:20.140 –> 24:22.140] There’s a parenthetical here [24:22.140 –> 24:24.140] something in parenthesis that says [24:24.140 –> 24:26.140] quote good thing Al isn’t on this episode [24:26.140 –> 24:28.140] to complain about the use of the word [24:28.140 –> 24:30.140] patch here. [24:30.140 –> 24:32.140] So Al wrote update 101 [24:32.140 –> 24:34.140] but they call it patch 101. [24:34.140 –> 24:36.140] Um. [24:36.140 –> 24:38.140] I think it’s because [24:38.140 –> 24:40.140] a patch is like a bug fixer [24:40.140 –> 24:42.140] it’s not. They’re different. [24:42.140 –> 24:44.140] I don’t know. [24:44.140 –> 24:46.140] I don’t know if I’ve ever heard his rant [24:46.140 –> 24:48.140] about update versus patch. [24:48.160 –> 24:50.160] Somewhere out in Scotland [24:50.160 –> 24:52.160] Al just [24:52.160 –> 24:54.160] just felt his eyebrow twitch for some reason [24:54.160 –> 24:56.160] he’s not sure why. [24:56.160 –> 24:58.160] He should do a mini episode. Al you should do like [24:58.160 –> 25:00.160] a greenhouse mini episode that’s like [25:00.160 –> 25:02.160] a rants with Al version. [25:02.160 –> 25:04.160] It’s gonna be inserted right here. [25:04.160 –> 25:06.160] No no I want it to be its own content. [25:06.160 –> 25:08.160] Of update versus patch. [25:08.160 –> 25:10.160] So Sun Haven [25:10.160 –> 25:12.160] this update [25:12.160 –> 25:14.160] 101.1 [25:14.160 –> 25:16.160] has some new story elements [25:16.180 –> 25:18.180] to it. It has some added character [25:18.180 –> 25:20.180] customization like you can now become [25:20.180 –> 25:22.180] a couple different [25:22.180 –> 25:24.180] like not well I guess it’s racist [25:24.180 –> 25:26.180] like a naga or like a [25:26.180 –> 25:28.180] dragon person or something like that. [25:28.180 –> 25:30.180] There’s also more translation so it’s [25:30.180 –> 25:32.180] available in more languages [25:32.180 –> 25:34.180] which is great and [25:34.180 –> 25:36.180] there’s improved controller support. So they [25:36.180 –> 25:38.180] have had controller support but [25:38.180 –> 25:40.180] apparently there were some [25:40.180 –> 25:42.180] there was some [25:42.180 –> 25:44.180] feedback that they received that it wasn’t [25:44.200 –> 25:46.200] as good as it could be and so they’ve [25:46.200 –> 25:48.200] improved it. So all of that [25:48.200 –> 25:50.200] has happened in this. Which I guess [25:50.200 –> 25:52.200] like for them to call it a [25:52.200 –> 25:54.200] like maybe it is a patch. No [25:54.200 –> 25:56.200] but there’s a new story [25:56.200 –> 25:58.200] which isn’t a patch that’s an update. [25:58.200 –> 26:00.200] Al I need a mini episode [26:00.200 –> 26:02.200] about this. [26:02.200 –> 26:04.200] Because like the [26:04.200 –> 26:06.200] improved controller support and like more languages [26:06.200 –> 26:08.200] like to me that’s a patch. [26:08.200 –> 26:10.200] But when you’re adding new content [26:10.200 –> 26:12.200] like the new story and character [26:12.220 –> 26:14.220] customization like that is an update. [26:14.220 –> 26:16.220] So anyway [26:16.220 –> 26:18.220] it is currently out now [26:18.220 –> 26:20.220] and it is on sale just for [26:20.220 –> 26:22.220] $20 I think it’s like 20% off or something [26:22.220 –> 26:24.220] it’s not only like $25. [26:24.220 –> 26:26.220] I believe yeah well no [26:26.220 –> 26:28.220] because it’s out it’s 1.1 now. [26:28.220 –> 26:30.220] No wait the [26:30.220 –> 26:32.220] oh yes yes yes yes [26:32.220 –> 26:34.220] the patch was [26:34.220 –> 26:36.220] in the beta and now it is out yes. [26:36.220 –> 26:38.220] The update was [26:38.220 –> 26:40.220] yes everything is out [26:40.240 –> 26:42.240] it is nothing is in beta anymore. [26:42.240 –> 26:44.240] End of the bottom line okay. [26:44.240 –> 26:46.240] I have a question [26:46.240 –> 26:48.240] for you Cody. Oh yeah go for it. [26:48.240 –> 26:50.240] Would you call 1.6 Stardew [26:50.240 –> 26:52.240] a patch or an update? [26:52.240 –> 26:56.240] So it’s funny because thinking about [26:56.240 –> 26:58.240] oh okay [26:58.240 –> 27:00.240] I was going to say thinking about what I [27:00.240 –> 27:02.240] think the difference between a patch and an update is [27:02.240 –> 27:04.240] like I think an update has to have [27:04.240 –> 27:06.240] like more content and [27:06.240 –> 27:08.240] it sounds like the changes [27:08.260 –> 27:10.260] in the 1.6 update [27:10.260 –> 27:12.260] is like [27:12.260 –> 27:14.260] modding changes but [27:14.260 –> 27:16.260] ConcernedApe does say that there is [27:16.260 –> 27:18.260] also content [27:18.260 –> 27:20.260] so it looks like there [27:20.260 –> 27:22.260] is more dialogue coming [27:22.260 –> 27:24.260] for different characters [27:24.260 –> 27:26.260] so I don’t [27:26.260 –> 27:28.260] know if it’s like that [27:28.260 –> 27:30.260] the dialogue has changed or maybe [27:30.260 –> 27:32.260] it’s just updated in certain parts of the game [27:32.260 –> 27:34.260] or it’s just [27:34.260 –> 27:36.260] like a completely new cutscene or something [27:36.280 –> 27:38.280] we don’t have a ton of information [27:38.280 –> 27:40.280] ConcernedApe is a man of myth [27:40.280 –> 27:42.280] I’m just looking through [27:42.280 –> 27:44.280] the twitter thread [27:44.280 –> 27:46.280] and the [27:46.280 –> 27:48.280] first comment is [27:48.280 –> 27:50.280] I crave new info about HauntedChocolatier [27:50.280 –> 27:52.280] anything you can tell us? [27:52.280 –> 27:54.280] and ConcernedApe’s response is [27:54.280 –> 27:56.280] that the town is on the water and there are [27:56.280 –> 27:58.280] oh dogs I thought it said rocks [27:58.280 –> 28:00.280] okay never mind [28:00.280 –> 28:02.280] but still [28:02.280 –> 28:04.280] yeah not as bad as Stardew [28:04.300 –> 28:06.300] I know most people prefer [28:06.300 –> 28:08.300] HauntedChocolatier but [28:08.300 –> 28:10.300] that means Stardew isn’t dead [28:10.300 –> 28:12.300] that’s interesting [28:12.300 –> 28:14.300] it’s not gonna ever die [28:14.300 –> 28:16.300] I mean [28:16.300 –> 28:18.300] really you think he’s gonna [28:18.300 –> 28:20.300] I mean from his side right [28:20.300 –> 28:22.300] I know people will play it forever and ever [28:22.300 –> 28:24.300] but do you think he’s gonna keep updating it [28:24.300 –> 28:26.300] forever and ever and ever? [28:26.300 –> 28:28.300] I don’t know why not [28:28.300 –> 28:30.300] wow I [28:30.300 –> 28:32.300] was googling ConcernedApe [28:32.320 –> 28:34.320] because I realize that we always say he [28:34.320 –> 28:36.320] but I’ve actually never seen their pronouns [28:36.320 –> 28:38.320] anywhere [28:38.320 –> 28:40.320] it is a guy [28:40.320 –> 28:42.320] and his name is Eric Barone [28:42.320 –> 28:44.320] I didn’t know that there was actually a name [28:44.320 –> 28:46.320] associated with this human [28:46.320 –> 28:48.320] that we know of [28:48.320 –> 28:50.320] no I’m sure [28:50.320 –> 28:52.320] there is but [28:52.320 –> 28:54.320] I didn’t know if it was a secret [28:54.320 –> 28:56.320] so the next here we have a couple games [28:56.320 –> 28:58.320] that are new [28:58.320 –> 29:00.320] so first is GoGo Town [29:00.340 –> 29:02.340] the Steam [29:02.340 –> 29:04.340] blurb is [29:04.340 –> 29:06.340] quote plan build [29:06.340 –> 29:08.340] prosper? [29:08.340 –> 29:10.340] it literally has a question mark [29:10.340 –> 29:12.340] as mayor [29:12.340 –> 29:14.340] it is up to you to breathe life [29:14.340 –> 29:16.340] back into this run downtown [29:16.340 –> 29:18.340] construct shops [29:18.340 –> 29:20.340] hire staff, automate deliveries with [29:20.340 –> 29:22.340] couriers and attract tourists to [29:22.340 –> 29:24.340] town all while managing infrastructure [29:24.340 –> 29:26.340] and avoiding catastrophes [29:26.340 –> 29:28.340] who said being mayor was going [29:28.360 –> 29:30.360] to be easy [29:30.360 –> 29:32.360] um [29:32.360 –> 29:34.360] I’m trying to remember what the [29:34.360 –> 29:36.360] the graphics are [29:36.360 –> 29:38.360] kind of animal crossing-ish [29:38.360 –> 29:40.360] they are, that’s a good comparison point [29:40.360 –> 29:42.360] but there’s something a little more [29:42.360 –> 29:44.360] I don’t [29:44.360 –> 29:46.360] cartoony almost [29:46.360 –> 29:48.360] yes it has to be cartoony [29:48.360 –> 29:50.360] because there are aliens and monkeys [29:50.360 –> 29:52.360] yeah [29:52.360 –> 29:54.360] I was going to say that [29:54.360 –> 29:56.360] I actually like the art style [29:56.380 –> 29:58.380] I like [29:58.380 –> 30:00.380] the look of the game like you’re building up a town [30:00.380 –> 30:02.380] this is all appealing [30:02.380 –> 30:04.380] and the fact that we got aliens landing [30:04.380 –> 30:06.380] and monkeys running around town [30:06.380 –> 30:08.380] I’m intrigued now [30:08.380 –> 30:10.380] this GoGo Town has caught my attention [30:10.380 –> 30:12.380] um [30:12.380 –> 30:14.380] no it’s to be announced [30:14.380 –> 30:16.380] um I didn’t see the mummies [30:16.380 –> 30:18.380] it’s at the very end of the trailer [30:18.380 –> 30:20.380] they’re not even front and center [30:20.380 –> 30:22.380] they’re just walking around the streets [30:22.380 –> 30:24.380] oh yup you right [30:24.400 –> 30:26.400] I don’t know [30:26.400 –> 30:28.400] there’s also robots [30:28.400 –> 30:30.400] that was my thing it says avoid catastrophes [30:30.400 –> 30:32.400] and I was like I wonder if [30:32.400 –> 30:34.400] the aliens are a catastrophe [30:34.400 –> 30:36.400] because they just come out of their little [30:36.400 –> 30:38.400] their little UFO [30:38.400 –> 30:40.400] and they’re just coming at you [30:40.400 –> 30:42.400] I don’t know if they wreak havoc on your town [30:42.400 –> 30:44.400] well in Al’s notes [30:44.400 –> 30:46.400] it says catastrophes include [30:46.400 –> 30:48.400] aliens [30:48.400 –> 30:50.400] I don’t know if that’s actually from him or not [30:50.400 –> 30:52.400] oh you wrote that [30:52.420 –> 30:54.420] um [30:54.420 –> 30:56.420] yeah so [30:56.420 –> 30:58.420] I mean that’s what it looks like it’s a catastrophe [30:58.420 –> 31:00.420] but they could just be visitors [31:00.420 –> 31:02.420] as well who knows [31:02.420 –> 31:04.420] um but yeah GoGo Town so that’s something [31:04.420 –> 31:06.420] to be aware of [31:06.420 –> 31:08.420] on the horizon [31:08.420 –> 31:10.420] um next is Poglings [31:10.420 –> 31:12.420] boy what a name [31:12.420 –> 31:14.420] yeah [31:14.420 –> 31:16.420] like pogs were originally those little [31:16.420 –> 31:18.420] little like token coin things [31:18.420 –> 31:20.420] from the 80s and 90s [31:20.440 –> 31:22.440] I used to collect some Pokemon ones in Mexico [31:22.440 –> 31:24.440] by the time I was a kid [31:24.440 –> 31:26.440] well [31:26.440 –> 31:28.440] yeah I played with pogs [31:28.440 –> 31:30.440] um my own like [31:30.440 –> 31:32.440] I had some [31:32.440 –> 31:34.440] they were cool for sure [31:34.440 –> 31:36.440] uh yeah this is not that [31:36.440 –> 31:38.440] this is complicated [31:38.440 –> 31:40.440] I was trying to say my point was that the word pog [31:40.440 –> 31:42.440] has been ruined forever and ever thanks to Twitch [31:42.440 –> 31:44.440] oh no [31:44.440 –> 31:46.440] yeah so quote poglings [31:46.440 –> 31:48.440] is a cute pet simulation creature collecting adventure [31:48.460 –> 31:50.460] evolve breed and race [31:50.460 –> 31:52.460] cute mysterious creatures known as poglings [31:52.460 –> 31:54.460] stake claim to your island [31:54.460 –> 31:56.460] grow your nest and establish yourself as the best [31:56.460 –> 31:58.460] pogling catcher the [31:58.460 –> 32:00.460] wild vine islands has ever [32:00.460 –> 32:02.460] seen [32:02.460 –> 32:04.460] um I mean [32:04.460 –> 32:06.460] I don’t love the art style [32:06.460 –> 32:08.460] no it’s too [32:08.460 –> 32:10.460] saccharine [32:10.460 –> 32:12.460] I don’t know it looks like a fake [32:12.460 –> 32:14.460] game or movie you’d see in a movie [32:14.460 –> 32:16.460] you know what I mean [32:16.480 –> 32:18.480] yeah I don’t know it’s not [32:18.480 –> 32:20.480] some people like I feel like if you like the games [32:20.480 –> 32:22.480] like merge dragons [32:22.480 –> 32:24.480] but it’s not a merging game [32:24.480 –> 32:26.480] so I don’t know [32:26.480 –> 32:28.480] it’s got the same like [32:28.480 –> 32:30.480] art style to me [32:30.480 –> 32:32.480] the little creatures look like [32:32.480 –> 32:34.480] little merge dragon [32:34.480 –> 32:36.480] creatures [32:36.480 –> 32:38.480] when I first saw it it also reminded me of neopets [32:38.480 –> 32:40.480] which it is also not [32:40.480 –> 32:42.480] it is not neopets [32:42.480 –> 32:44.480] but it kind of is because you creature collect [32:44.500 –> 32:46.500] yeah you kind of get the vibe [32:46.500 –> 32:48.500] but it’s like [32:48.500 –> 32:50.500] it’s like if it was neopets but you only ever had [32:50.500 –> 32:52.500] one neopet [32:52.500 –> 32:54.500] like one type [32:54.500 –> 32:56.500] and you just [32:56.500 –> 32:58.500] coats of paint on that [32:58.500 –> 33:00.500] it just looks like it’s just coats of paint [33:00.500 –> 33:02.500] on the same one [33:02.500 –> 33:04.500] it is in kickstarter so benefit of the doubt [33:04.500 –> 33:06.500] maybe they were just showing what they have now [33:06.500 –> 33:08.500] I was about to say [33:08.500 –> 33:10.500] this is also probably like 90% [33:10.500 –> 33:12.500] FMV and not actually gameplay [33:12.520 –> 33:14.520] yeah who knows [33:14.520 –> 33:16.520] but it will actually end up being [33:16.520 –> 33:18.520] yeah so I looked it up [33:18.520 –> 33:20.520] I know [33:20.520 –> 33:22.520] I wrote this [33:22.520 –> 33:24.520] I looked at the kickstarter and the kickstarter [33:24.520 –> 33:26.520] the goal was just 40k [33:26.520 –> 33:28.520] it is already at 311k [33:28.520 –> 33:30.520] thousand [33:30.520 –> 33:32.520] it’s already [33:32.520 –> 33:34.520] way over the goal [33:34.520 –> 33:36.520] but it actually is still going [33:36.520 –> 33:38.520] the kickstarter is still going until may 11th [33:38.520 –> 33:40.520] so if you like these little [33:40.540 –> 33:42.540] collecting pet simulation games [33:42.540 –> 33:44.540] maybe give it a look [33:44.540 –> 33:46.540] wait hold the phone [33:46.540 –> 33:48.540] chad tronic is the creator [33:48.540 –> 33:50.540] I don’t know [33:50.540 –> 33:52.540] he’s a youtuber [33:52.540 –> 33:54.540] I don’t follow him but I’m familiar with the name [33:54.540 –> 33:56.540] I did not [33:56.540 –> 33:58.540] that’s crazy [33:58.540 –> 34:00.540] the wonder it blew the goal [34:00.540 –> 34:02.540] it has a following [34:02.540 –> 34:04.540] I’ll be darned [34:04.540 –> 34:06.540] that’s interesting [34:06.540 –&

This week on Press Any Key Episode 101, we're gobstones deep into the latest adventure in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - @HogwartsLegacy . We've captured some gameplay, glitches, and other fun random footage of our traversal around Hogland. Of course we're all in different houses, and are playing it dramatically differently. Before we get into our review and experiences, we talk through @amctheatres and their next endeavor of bringing people back to the movies... by charging them more money to pick "the good seats" (which confirms that all along, they were charging the same amount for the bad ones.) @A24 signed on a 17 year old director to work on a Backrooms found footage horror/thriller film. He's just gotta finish it over his 2 month summer break (I'm not kidding). @NintendoAmerica came out with another direct, full of random junk no one asked for that no one is going to play. We'll ignore all that, let's just talk about the new Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom trailer - we can ride cars baby! We've also got a few other cool things announced, looking at you Metroid (where's the 4th game though Nintendo, huh?).

Video games are more technologically sophisticated than ever these days — virtual reality headsets, augmented reality integration, and some of the most powerful and realistic graphics yet. At the end of the day, a good, innovative video game needs one important element. According to industry veteran Reggie Fils-Aimé, former President of Nintendo America, it’s simply to make the game good and fun. Fils-Aimé retired in 2019 but reflects on these ideas and his history of disrupting the gaming sector in his new autobiography, “Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo.” Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams spoke with him about where the innovation is happening in gaming right now. He says you just need to look at who’s creating those fun interactions.
