TEXT US YOUR THOUGHTS!Hosts **Tony Sisk** and **Jaime G** kick off the "video game fall season" by discussing two major new releases: the highly anticipated indie sequel **Hollow Knight: Silksong** and the AAA looter-shooter **Borderlands 4**. Jaime shares his enthusiastic impressions of **Silksong**, highlighting its six-year development history, its origins as an intended DLC for *Hollow Knight* that grew into a full standalone sequel, and its budget price point of $20. He praises its Metroidvania genre execution, comparing its difficulty to *Elden Ring*, noting the lack of a ramp-up for new players, and describing the protagonist Hornet's high mobility and fluid movement as a major gameplay addition. Tony offers his initial thoughts on **Borderlands 4**, which he picked up as a physical copy on launch day. He states that the game is **"very good"** and already **"easily" better than Borderlands 3**. Tony praises the narrative, specifically highlighting the **memorable NPC characters** and the investment in their stories, which he feels was lacking in the previous installment. The hosts note the interesting contrast between the highly-rated, budget indie title (**Silksong**) and the large-scale AAA release (**Borderlands 4**), setting up a future discussion comparing their reception and player count, especially on platforms like Steam.---## Show Notes**Podcast Title:** Good Game Radio**Topics:** Video Game Fall Season Kickoff, *Hollow Knight: Silksong* Release and Review, *Borderlands 4* Initial Impressions.###

In this episode of The New Age Sage Podcast, I break down the five stages every soul moves through on the journey from unconscious existence to divine remembrance — from playing life on autopilot to realizing you are the creator of it all.We explore what it really means to wake up — not as a concept, but as a lived transformation. Why we stay trapped in “NPC mode,” numbing our pain, chasing distractions, and mistaking survival for living. How the human game repeats itself through cycles of illusion, suffering, and healing until we finally remember who we are.You'll learn how shame keeps you disconnected from your wholeness, how desire and attachment perpetuate karma, and why the final level of awakening isn't about becoming more — it's about dissolving the self entirely.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if anything resonated with you.

This week's Action Surge we start by talking about pace. Episode 39 opened with deep lore (some might call it an unskippable cut scene, others might call it a well-earned reward for surviving), before dropping us into a bit of a sandbox. Yes, even Harry had no idea what we'd do next, and yes, we still managed to surprise him. Not all of it was a delight.From there, it was colours, visions, and the question of what might have happened if Alex had actually rolled that six. And somehow, an NPC who somehow managed to survive at the end of last episode suddenly became more important than any of us, or Harry, ever planned. Kc'ahrl proved that when the average on 3d8 is twelve, sometimes you do not need to worry about morality at all.We also reflect on I's unexpected promotion to de facto leader of the kobolds. Either way, a return to the Old Dark might have been exactly what the story needed. Finally, we touch upon what might happen when priorities do not line up, and why those differences might shape the party just as much as any battle on the table. Hosted on Acast.

That's why Endless Thread and 99% Invisible are launching a new limited series together called Hidden Levels.

What if reality isn't random—but coded? Jose Miguel Calderon Carpio, a transformational CIO, award-winning tech strategist, and author of Cosmos, explores this very idea. In his book, he argues that the universe may operate more like software than stardust and that life is intentional, designed, and deeply meaningful. On today's episode of the Marketer of the Day Podcast, Jose Miguel shares how to avoid living as an “NPC” in the world, how to tap into the universe's intentional design, and how understanding these patterns can transform your personal and professional life. Quotes: “The universe is not a mistake—it's a masterpiece of conscious design.” “Life is software, and every decision we make is code shaping our future.” “We are not just observers of the cosmos—we are active participants in its unfolding design.” Resources: Follow Jose Miguel on Facebook Connect with Jose Miguel on LinkedIn Read "Code Called Cosmos" on Amazon

Kylem O'Donnell is a lad who has truly lived the highs and lows of chasing the rugby dream. From starring at Hamilton Boys' High to winning an NPC title with Taranaki and travelling the world with the All Blacks Sevens, he looked destined for it all. But behind the speed, fitness and flair, Kylem's story is one of setbacks, mental battles, and resilience.In this episode he opens up like never before from the challenge of dealing with injuries and non-selection, to a being on the receiving end of brutal bouncer assault. He even shares some incredibly hard moments in his life including a terrifying drug-induced psychosis that had him running to on the motorway naked! However the most powerful of all are the moments where Kylem shares his raw struggles with mental health, including times he nearly didn't make it through, and the support that helped him fight back.This episode is not just about the rugby it's about honesty, vulnerability, and rediscovering who you are. An incredible chat with a man who is now using his own journey to inspire and help others. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TSP #2176 — Nathan Ciszek: The Source Field & the Simulation | Targeting / Reality Hacks, NPCs, Timeline Edits Tonight 9PM ET — TSP #2176: MILAB whistleblower Nathan Ciszek joins me for “The Source Field & the Simulation.” We'll dig into targeting, NPCs, reality edits, soul contracts, timeline manipulation, AI overlays & how to opt-out of engineered loops. Live Q&A! #milab #simulationtheory #targetedindividuals #soularc #timeline #ufo #disclosure Long Description (YouTube/Rumble) About the episode: MILAB whistleblower Nathan Ciszek returns for an advanced decode on targeting—how selected individuals are flagged, profiled, and entrained—and how this connects to a larger simulation framework (Source Field, overlays, NPC constructs, probability rails, and timeline edits). We'll map the playbook (surveillance behavioral nudges engineered synchronicities isolation spiritual fragmentation) and then pivot to exiting the maze: sovereign tech for nervous-system stabilization, energetic hygiene, and reclaiming timeline authority.

Lolth's Not Your Mom, But She's Definitely Disappointed in You Follow Ash Ely on social media for more tabletop mischief, hot takes, and behind-the-scenes RPGBOT energy. Want to do more than just listen? You can play in his games directly—Ash runs tables on StartPlaying.games where you can sign up, roll dice, and probably regret trusting that one suspicious NPC he voices just a little too well. Show Notes In this Spooktober installment, Tyler, Randall, and Ash descend into the Underdark to talk about everyone's favorite spider-themed frenemies: the drow. But don't expect a simple “they're all evil” hot take—this conversation is about how to use drow effectively and responsibly at the table. Highlights include: History lesson (with bite): From Scottish folklore to Gygax's caverns, the word “drow” has been through some things. The big problem: Why “evil by biology” is lazy design and a headache for modern tables. The fix: Treat drow as cultures, factions, and ideologies rather than one-note villains. Tactics and terror: How to make them scary with ambushes, traps, lair design, and coordinated squads instead of tired stereotypes. DM toolbox: Drow of the Underdark (3.5e) for rich lore and mechanical bits. Keith Ammann's The Monsters Know What They're Doing and MOAR for tactical framing. The RPGBOT Masterclass on How to Defend Your Lair for designing unforgettable encounters. Adventure seeds: Trade cartels, perpetual-darkness devices, and drow coup-plots that give your players moral choices beyond “roll initiative.” RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes How to Defend Your Lair with Keith Ammann – RPGBOT.Masterclass S2E95 How to Defend Your Lair with Keith Ammann – RPGBOT.Masterclass S2E95 Other Stuff Drow of the Underdark (3.5) (affiliate link) MOAR The Monsters Know What They're Doing (affiliate link) The Monsters Know What They're Doing (affiliate link) Key Takeaways Scary ≠ racist: Make drow terrifying by leaning on culture, politics, and goals—not skin color or species. Design like defenders: Build lairs that use elevation, darkness, traps, and chokepoints to punish rash adventurers. Run them as a team: Drow squads should coordinate roles like special ops, not fight as isolated stat blocks. Texture matters: Factionalize your drow societies—zealots, moderates, and opportunists—to create story oxygen. Bring the right books: Ammann's tactics, 3.5e's Drow of the Underdark, and RPGBOT's own lair-design masterclass turn “complicated” into “compelling.” If you enjoyed this dive into the Underdark, share the RPGBOT.Podcast with your gaming group. Tell your GM. Tell your rogue. Heck, tell that one friend who always wants to play a brooding elf in black leather.

443. Helping Tourism Professionals Reach Gen Z Audiences, with Nathan Oyer

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with our summer intern, Nathan Oyer, who's about to head back to Binghamton University. In this episode, you'll hear a candid introduction with Nathan about his experiences as a TAP intern, then we'll dive right into the training session Nathan led for our team. He shares his insights and research on what makes Gen Z tick, from their love of authentic marketing to the language and wellness trends driving their travel decisions. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why understanding the differences between generations is key when crafting messages and campaigns aimed at Gen Z versus Millennials, Gen X, or Boomers What makes Gen Z unique as consumers, including their desire for relatable, authentic, wellness-oriented experiences How language and slang can both help and hinder brands when communicating with Gen Z Why relatability, authenticity, and micro-influencers now matter more than celebrity endorsements when engaging with Gen Z audiences What role wellness plays in Gen Z's travel and purchasing decisions, and how destinations and brands can tap into this trend How Gen Z views and responds to cancel culture and why transparency and a willingness to learn from mistakes are so critical Bridging Generational Gaps in Tourism Marketing To market effectively, it's essential to understand the context and experiences that have shaped each generation. Nathan outlined a generational roadmap, from Baby Boomers who value face-to-face connections, paper mail, and research-driven marketing—all the way to Gen Z, born between 1995 and 2009. Unlike previous generations, Gen Z grew up with technology at their fingertips. They're digital natives, expect user-friendly web interactions, and are famous for their short attention spans. Where Millennials (born 1980–1994) might be drawn to nostalgia and Instagram, Gen Z's heart belongs to TikTok, Snapchat, and real-time, less-curated microcontent. Slang to Improve Storytelling One playful, but important, aspect discussed was slang. Gen Z's ever-evolving language isn't just about new words; it's a reflection of community, humor, and relatability. Nathan led the TAP team through some current favorites (like “NPC,” and “no cap”), but did share a word of caution that slang is tricky territory for brands. Using slang can humanize a brand and make content pop, but if brands try too hard or use trends after their expiration date, they risk coming across as “cringe” (Gen Z's word, not ours). Wellness, Sustainability, and Social Responsibility Wellness isn't just a trend for Gen Z, it's a lifestyle. They're proactive about their mental and physical health, seeking out travel experiences that contribute to self-care and well-being. When looking for ways to engage Gen Z travelers there are lots of opportunities around trips like spa retreats, vegan experiences and sustainable stays. To connect with Gen Z, brands have to blend strategy with sincerity: adopt the right language, stay up to date with trends, and continuously center authenticity and purpose.

Lara and Carey return to recap the maddening final installment of The Valley's Season 2 reunion. But first, they discuss the harrowing new Tesla Diner, the NPC-ification of downtown LA, hetero hell foodie scenes, how lighting up the Hollywood sign at night could save Los Angeles, Alien: Earth, Lindsay Lohan and Shailene Woodley's new venture and the complicated nature of the Hulu-sphere.Back at Radford Studios, Danny's creepy behavior with Brittany at a party for this year's Super Bowl is brought before the tribunal. Janet, Jason and Jasmine attempt to squash their beef, as Doute tries (unsuccessfully) to pull one over her rindom nemesis from Ohio. Jax laments the pro-Brittany party at his namesake watering hole as he faces off with Zack one final time. Nia and Danny commit to a throw-everything-at-the-ceiling-defense blitz to deflect from Danny's drunken sex pestery. And they convince nearly everyone except Janet, who somehow, despite everything and her own incredibly rindom tendencies, comes out victorious against the Old Guard. Jax then leaves the soundstage and disappears into the hazy dusk of the “Other side of the hill,” becoming merely a myth in the San Fernando Valley.Listen to this episode ad-free AND get access to weekly bonus episodes + video bonus episodes by joining the SUP Patreon.

Rizwan Virk (The Simulation Hypothesis) is an entrepreneur, computer scientist, and bestselling author. Rizwan joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the VR ping pong game that tipped him off we might be in a simulation, his ten stages of singularity that the physical world isn't exactly what we think it is, and comparing the NPC versus RPG versions of the simulation. Rizwan and Dax talk about whether The Matrix was prophetic, if such AI advancement is inevitable how we would know if we're in a simulation, and the observer effect in quantum physics as illustrated by Schrödinger's Cat. Rizwan explains ancient Eastern religious and philosophical origins of the sim, the bizarre notion of consciousness that the past isn't fixed, and the Mandela Effect as evidence of the existence of alternate timelines.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
