Cheyenne joins Ben this week to talk about a word that gets a lot of bad press, but in reality, it is a necessity in most activities involving progress and self-improvement. After conversing about what games they are playing (and discovering Ben's Hogwarts House), they dive right in to deep end and commence with the festivities. Topics explored: the “Epic Fail” meme, Tom Platz, CrossFit acronyms, the invention of Post-It Notes, John Cleese's speeches and educational videos, corporate culture, points of failure in engineering, stories about successes and failures in the academic settings, the roguelike and roguelite labels, and looping game mechanics.  Games discussed this week are as follows—Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Infinity Nikki, Hogwarts Legacy, Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop, Papers Please, Plate Up, Baldur's Gate 3, Hades, Kenshi, Deathloop, Disco Elysium, Indigo Prophecy, Super Meat Boy, and Seaman. Finally, Ben and Cheyenne “tie a bow on it” with some words of wisdom and a couple of Spock references—the Star Trek character, not the pediatrician.  *** 00:00:20 - A city of roses, serving up smiles, parking lot beatdown, Dragon Age: The Veilguard 00:02:35 - Mass Effect opinions, Ben likes the synthesis ending, Liara T'Soni, and Infiniti Nikki 00:06:40 - A cozy fashion battling platformer, getting homework at PAX, and impatient much? 00:08:48 - Thoughts on Hogwarts Legacy, mediocre story, and Cheyenne guesses Ben's house 00:11:11 - The new Indiana Jones game trailer, the nitty and the gritty, and a previous customer 00:13:01 - Ox Ford has a comma, Cheyenne's failure, person versus thing, and positive views 00:15:13 - The Google Ngram Viewer (no exceptions), the EPIC FAIL, and planking nostalgia  00:18:02 - The Tom Platz weightlifting philosophy, muscle building, and success through failure 00:20:53 - A tale of 3M's Post-It Notes, the John Cleese speech, and the Video Arts sales story  00:24:31 - The perception of mistakes in corporate culture, and the measure of an employee  00:28:17 - “In a world…,” Mr. Perfect's Plex, SPOFs and SPORs, and in failures in academia  00:32:20 - A bell curve, thoughts on grading, the architecture shoe, and teams on instruments 00:41:43 - Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop summary, 5 endings (not 4), and “not for all ages” humor  00:47:12 - Ben's least favorite descriptors, the rogue prefix, no barrels, and looping mechanics 00:52:00 - “Leveling” characters, weakness before strength, and broadening your knowledge 00:55:52 - Fireworks tampering, the thematics of failure, and “failure is preferred” scenarios  01:03:11 - Excessively difficult games, back to the rocket shop, wrapping up, and Star Trek   *** Follow Two Vague on… Our website: https://www.twovaguepodcast.com On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/two_vague_podcast On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twovaguepodcast On Substack: https://twovaguepodcast.substack.com/ On Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/twovaguepodcast.com For show appearance and other inquiries, contact us at: twovaguepodcast@gmail.com -AND-  …for all of your PRI and 2VP merch check out the Partly Robot Industries store at TEEPUBLIC! https://www.teepublic.com/user/partly-robot-industries *** References, Links, and Tags For more information on Infinity Nikki, check out the official website! https://infinitynikki.infoldgames.com/en For more information about Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop, developer Beard Envy Games, and publisher Kasedo Games… https://www.unclechops.com/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1849790/Uncle_Chops_Rocket_Shop/ https://www.beardenvy.co.uk/ https://www.kasedogames.com/ #Podbean #DIYPodcast #ApplePodcast #VideoGames #Trivia #Comedy #Talkshow #2VP #TwoVaguePodcast #PodernFamily #InterviewShow #GamersofThreads #Gamer #PartlyRobot #PartlyRobotIndustries #TeePublic #InfinityNikki #KasedoGames #UncleChopsRocketShop #BeardEnvyGames

Get used to hearing the phrase “Papers, please,” a metaphor for life under a police state. The mayor of Newark, NJ said federal officers raided a fish market without a warrant and began mass detainment of people who couldn't prove their citizenship—something many of us don't carry on us. At least one US veteran was illegally arrested. How long until that happens to American citizens in Wisconsin? Also: We'll talk to a Courier Newsroom colleague in Texas about this week's wild winter weather there.

Samla familjen, rätta till julflugan och slå er ner vid granen - det är dags att dela ut klappar. I tomtens säck ligger fyra hårda paket - men bara en av dem har gyllene papper. Det är dags för Speljuntan att utöka din backlogg. Den Gyllene Backloggen är Speljuntans egen kulturkanon, där vi listar de spel som du absolut inte får gå miste om (eller för evigt våndas över att du inte tagit tag i). Det är bara de mest intressanta, kreativa och nydanande av digitala mästerverk som får äntra den eftertraktade listan.  Förfarandet är enkelt. Varje av Juntans generaler tar med varsitt spel, och likt ett gladiatorspel tampas de sen inför åhörarnas jubel tills bara ett spel återstår. Det spelet blir förevigat i gamingvärldens egen panteon - och gör andra storheter såsom Papers Please, Disco Elysium och Katamari Damacy sällskap.  När dagens paket skakas kan fyra spel höras skramla omkring däri –  Titanfall 2, Returnal, Braid och Persona 4 Golden. En av dem ska in i Den Gyllene Backloggen.  

Vatileaks (or Vatican Document Leaks) caused a lot of trouble in Rome in 2012, leading directly (allegedly) to the Pope abdicating his office for the first time in centuries.Paolo Gabriele (papal butler) snuck documents to GianLuigi Nuzzi (Italian journalist) to expose the corruption of Archbishop Carlo Mario Vigano.The Holy See was burying sex scandals, bribery, home invasions, and overpriced home improvements and helicopter rides, and so much more. Did you know that canonizing a saint costs about half a million euros?Vatican Spokesman, Federico Lombardi, coined the term "Vati-Leaks." Since all this drama, a few changes have helped improve things, but much has yet to be done....Support us on Patreon or you can get our merch at Spreadshop. Join the Community on Discord. Learn more great religion factoids on Facebook and Instagram.

Today Mary welcomes back David Bowen to discuss God's map and man's map, two different trajectories altogether. According to Ezekiel 5:5, Jerusalem is the center of the world. Can you imagine the uproar in this world if mapmakers followed the Bible's focus on this? But God's economy and man's are polar opposites, and so the war rages on. Psalm 2 tells us that those who would plot against God cause Him to laugh at their plans, but judgment awaits those who would rebel against His claims on their lives. We discuss Jerusalem from the media's perspective, then we go on to the UN's global pact and see if it has any sticking power; at this late hour, probably, but does anyone take the UN seriously? Finally we dig into the latest biometric tech as the world readies for a global ID eventually. Pastor, evangelist, teacher Dr. David Bowen joined the Lamb & Lion Ministries team in 2023 as their Teaching Evangelist. He also serves as a co-host on their Christ in Prophecy television program and travels to participate in prophecy conferences. He has been pastoring for thirty years and is the Founding and Senior Pastor of Standing Stones Community Church.     Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!

Hot on the heels of our last episode where we declared the ultimate video game president, we've got another politically themed show - a deep look at the game Papers, Please! It's one of the most unique games that we've covered with a demand for attention to detail, quick decision making, and deep moral decisions. Oh, and do you remember those Spot the Difference games from when you were a kid? Did you like those? Then you'll love this! As most deep dives we spoil a lot of what this game has to offer, so if it begins to sounds interesting I recommend giving it a shot - it's $5 on mobile! Or you can also buy the physical Playstation Vita version for 20x that, if you so choose... So, grab your passport and your bribe money, and prepare to get detained at some point during this deep dive of Papers, Please!

Palworld ist schon jetzt im Alpha- Release das erfolgreichste Survival- Spiel aller Zeiten (und nur einen Anruf von Nintendos Rechtsabteilung von der Abmahnung entfernt). Ist es aber vor allem auch das - Zitat Jochen - politischste Spiel seit "Papers Please"? Eine Satire? Ein subversiver Blick auf gängige Gameplay- Mechaniken?

My guest today is the American designer of two of the most highly regarded experimental games yet made. He grew up in Virginia, where his interest in hobbyist robotics led him to study mechanical engineering at Virginia State University. At that time he started designing mods for Quake, which eventually led to a job at Naughty Dog where he worked on the first two games in the Uncharted series. In 2009 he left the studio and moved with his wife to Japan. It was while travelling abroad that my guest had the idea for a game involving a passport inspector. The result, Papers, Please, sold millions of copies and won several awards, including the grand prize at the Independent Game Festival. His next game, 2018's The Return of the Obra Dinn, cast players as an insurance adjustor for the East India Company trying to piece together the events that led to the destruction of one of its merchant ships and the crew's deaths. In a poll of industry experts for GQ magazine the game was named one of the greatest yet made. Thank you for listening to My Perfect Console.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Papers, Please #1: Various Papers on Employment, Wages and Productivity, published by Zvi on May 22, 2023 on LessWrong. For a while, I've been keeping a bookmark folder called ‘Papers, Please' of all the papers I'd like to check out in the future. For those I do get to look at, I've compiled my observations, with the intent of making this another kind of roundup. I noticed a bunch of them were focused on questions of employment, wages and productivity, so it made sense to pull those out into a post, and stay on the lookout for similar groupings in the future as the section expands. If there is a central theme here, it is the outsized role of norms, expectations and comparisons in determining outcomes, as well as underlying differences, and how such considerations seem to be neglected in many of the papers. What interventions are implied, if any, although that is very much not the question I'm looking to ask here? Highly unfashionable ones. US labor market can be thought of as two and a half mostly distinct labor markets. Aggregate U.S. labor market dynamics are well approximated by a dual labor market supplemented with a third, predominantly, home-production segment. We uncover this structure by estimating a Hidden Markov Model, a machine-learning method. The different market segments are identified through (in-)equality constraints on labor market transition probabilities. This method yields time series of stocks and flows for the three segments for 1980-2021. Workers in the primary sector, who make up around 55 percent of the population, are almost always employed and rarely experience unemployment. The secondary sector, which constitutes 14 percent of the population, absorbs most of the short-run fluctuations, both at seasonal and business cycle frequencies. Workers in this segment experience six times higher turnover rates than those in the primary tier and are ten times more likely to be unemployed than their primary counterparts. The tertiary segment consists of workers who infrequently participate in the labor market but nevertheless experience unemployment when they try to enter the labor force. Our individual-level analysis shows that observable demographic characteristics only explain a small part of the cross-individual variation in segment membership. The combination of the aggregate and individual-level evidence we provide points to dualism in the U.S. labor market being an equilibrium division of labor, under labor market imperfections, that minimizes adjustment costs in response to predictable seasonal as well as unpredictable business cycle fluctuations. This seems right to me. If you can check off a standard set of boxes that make you capable of ‘normal work' and you are willing to accept what the market has on offer, you will be highly employable. When you lose one job, you will be able to find another. It would take quite a lot of AI automation or economic decline to change this. Whereas if you can't check enough of the boxes, and you have some incompatibility with the jobs on offer and can't find a niche that fixes this that you will accept, you will struggle. And it makes sense that there's mostly a sharp line between these two groups, with a third group that doesn't always want to work and is mostly in category two when they try. Note that a large majority of workers can check off the necessary boxes. This rules out anything too onerous, or the possession of an especially valuable skill, as a barrier to joining the first group. Is Pay Transparency Good? In some ways yes, in some ways no. Here's the abstract. Countries around the world are enacting pay transparency policies to combat pay discrimination. 71% of OECD countries have done so since 2000. Most are enacting transparency horizontally, revealing pay between co-workers of similar seniority...
