(0:00:45) Al: Transcripts are available on the show notes and on the website, as always. (0:00:49) Al: Welcome, Aislinn. (0:00:50) Al: Welcome back, I should say. (0:00:52) Al: Your second time on the pod. (0:00:52) Aislinn: Yeah, thanks for having me back. (0:00:56) Al: Good to have you. (0:00:58) Al: I’ve brought Eslan on the pod to… (0:01:01) Al: …talk about Kamayru, is that how you say it? (0:01:04) Aislinn: Yeah, Kameiru! Gosh, I, uh, I’m gonna, I’m gonna withhold. I’m gonna withhold. I have many opinions about this game. (0:01:12) Al: Yeah, we’ll get to that. We’ll get to that. It’s important. We need to get through the (0:01:13) Aislinn: Yes, we know! (0:01:15) Aislinn: I know, I know, I know! (0:01:16) Al: process. So that’s what we’re going to talk about. I personally haven’t played Camaro, (0:01:18) Aislinn: Okay. (0:01:22) Al: but Aislinn has. So we’re going to talk about that later on. Before that, we obviously have (0:01:32) Al: some news. Oh, I should note, this is the last episode that has news for the next three (0:01:39) Al: episodes because this is the last one. (0:01:42) Al: And before I go away for a wee while.

(0:02:00) Al: So I’m very excited for people to hear what we’ve got cooked up. (0:02:05) Al: I hope I’m not overdoing it and we’re not completely. (0:02:09) Al: over focusing on a game. (0:02:12) Al: When I had this idea, I thought it was fantastic, so stay tuned for four episodes of Dave the (0:02:17) Al: Diver starting next week. (0:02:18) Aislinn: Honestly, that sounds wonderful. (0:02:21) Aislinn: It sounds perfect. (0:02:22) Al: Have you played that game? (0:02:22) Aislinn: It sounds… (0:02:23) Aislinn: I have not, but also it just sounds wonderful to have something like that just for holiday (0:02:27) Aislinn: in general and just have something focused on one game. (0:02:31) Aislinn: It sounds nice. (0:02:32) Aislinn: It sounds like a nice change of pace. (0:02:32) Al: Yeah, last year we did Fishing Month, so we had four episodes on fishing and various different (0:02:34) Aislinn: Oooooooh! (0:02:40) Al: things. There was a debate on the best fishing minigame, though I think we covered Dredge, (0:02:46) Al: which is not our usual kind of game, and stuff like that. And yeah, this year is Dave the (0:02:52) Al: Diver Month, so coming soon. But that’s not what we’re talking about just now. Before (0:02:55) Aislinn: Soon.

(0:03:34) Al: Yeah, yeah. (0:03:35) Aislinn: Sun blazing just melting but otherwise (0:03:39) Aislinn: To talk about gaming wise what I’ve been up to not as much as I would like to (0:03:45) Aislinn: Be up to with gaming just because life has been busy as well in general between work and just other (0:03:52) Aislinn: Obligations in life in general, but when I am playing a game I have been now currently cycling through (0:04:00) Aislinn: Magical delicacy, which just which just came out recently (0:04:04) Aislinn: is a (0:04:06) Aislinn: platformer game with witches and cooking and (0:04:10) Aislinn: Actually, it might be a nice game to talk about on this podcast as well at some point (0:04:15) Aislinn: Because it’s also an accessibility game. So it’s like kind of it’s not necessary (0:04:19) Aislinn: I don’t know if I would consider it a cottagecore game, but there is cooking there is decorating (0:04:23) Aislinn: they (0:04:24) Al: Look, we sure are in all kinds of games. (0:04:29) Aislinn: But it like just came out and I play like a couple hours of it so far and it’s really cute (0:04:35) Aislinn: But I’ve been playing a little bit of that I’ve been playing spider-man 2 which is a completely different game for magical delicacy (0:04:41) Aislinn: I’ve been playing oh so good so far so good so far. I’ve also been playing (0:04:42) Al: a good game though. Good game. I love how they did because like, did you play the other (0:04:49) Aislinn: I did I did I’m so I’m playing the entire series all the way through back to back to back (0:04:49) Al: two Spider-Man games? Nice. That’s a lot to go through without a break. I played them (0:04:56) Aislinn: It is but I’m having such a good time (0:04:59) Aislinn: You (0:05:00) Al: when they came out. So I played the Marvel Spider-Man and I really enjoyed it. It was (0:05:05) Al: so much fun. And then when Miles Morales came out, I was like, this is so great. (0:05:12) Al: It’s better because you have the extra powers. And personally, I thought it was like a more (0:05:17) Al: compact game. People were like, “Oh, it’s too short.” And I’m like, “No, it’s not (0:05:18) Aislinn: Yeah (0:05:20) Al: too short. It’s perfect. Perfect length.” I mean, buy these things and sell them second (0:05:21) Aislinn: Yeah, no, it was perfect it was honestly perfect (0:05:23) Aislinn: Maybe it’s a little bit short for its price (0:05:26) Aislinn: But like as someone that didn’t pay for it and had no frame of concept of what it costs. I had a great time (0:05:32) Aislinn: time. (0:05:33) Al: hand, right? That’s what I do. I did that for all three Spider-Man games. I’ve bought (0:05:38) Al: them and then sold them like three weeks later when I finished. (0:05:42) Al: But what I found really interesting was I was wondering how they were going to make (0:05:46) Aislinn: Yeah, that’s true. That’s very true. (0:05:51) Al: Spider-Man 2 not just make you want to be Miles all the time, because Miles was, before (0:05:56) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:05:58) Al: Spider-Man 2 objectively, the better Spider-Man to play as, because he has all of the powers (0:06:01) Aislinn: Oh my god, yes. (0:06:03) Al: and more. (0:06:04) Al: And so I was like, “How are they going to make you want to be Peter Parker?” (0:06:08) Al: And they figured it out with the Venom stuff. (0:06:10) Aislinn: Woo, yeah, it’s so cool. It’s so cool. (0:06:10) Al: And it was fantastic. (0:06:12) Al: So good. (0:06:14) Al: And also adding in the other, the gliding, and you can also surf on the water a little (0:06:20) Aislinn: Yeah! (0:06:25) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:06:25) Al: bit as well, stuff like that just made it so much more fun. (0:06:28) Aislinn: Yeah, definitely. The only complaint I have about that game so far is, like, on the map itself, (0:06:33) Aislinn: I wish, like, things were marked down. Like, all of the side quests and everything. I wish you (0:06:37) Aislinn: didn’t have– I know they want you to explore everything, but I’m like, “Can you just mark it (0:06:40) Aislinn: down anyway so I have things to go towards?” Because that’s the thing that kind of gets me (0:06:42) Al: Oh do you mean like how they build it up slowly because it’s like it starts off with like oh (0:06:44) Aislinn: from an open world game sometimes as I get lost? (0:06:47) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:06:49) Al: you’ve you’ve got I get why they do that right because it’s a lot it would be overwhelming I (0:06:53) Al: think if you had too much all at once but yeah it does feel it does it does feel a little bit like (0:06:54) Aislinn: I don’t mind, but yeah, that’s just me. (0:06:59) Al: oh and now you know I’m 10 hours into the game and I’m just unlocking a whole new series of of (0:07:06) Al: quests sort of thing. There. (0:07:06) Aislinn: yeah yeah yeah yeah that that’s my like only complaint but that’s just a me thing more than (0:07:10) Aislinn: anything yeah um but yeah otherwise in addition to spider-man 2 magical delicacy also surprisingly (0:07:12) Al: I think that’s hard to solve but I get I get I get the issue. (0:07:22) Aislinn: playing weathering waves um which is that gacha game but I haven’t spent any money so far which (0:07:28) Aislinn: i’m very proud of myself because I know it’s like the game that you spend money on but i’m such a (0:07:33) Aislinn: slow gamer that it’s been great. (0:07:36) Aislinn: This isn’t another casual combat game which I’m into, but then I’ve also obviously been (0:07:42) Aislinn: playing Kamehiru and I’ve been replaying coffee talk as well as just a nice wind down game. (0:07:49) Aislinn: It makes me very sleepy, which is perfect before bed. (0:07:52) Al: I feel like you have a very specific look of games that you’re other than Spider-Man (0:07:57) Al: two very specific look of games that you’re playing just now like well just when you look (0:08:00) Aislinn: - In what way? (0:08:03) Al: at magical delicacy and Kama Eru and coffee talk and even a lot of not not not so much (0:08:10) Al: whether it’s I guess it’s just those three like just their their style their art styles (0:08:15) Aislinn: Mm hmm. Yeah, I would definitely agree. I’m very I am. I didn’t think I was for like the (0:08:15) Al: and their their vibes all feel very similar. (0:08:24) Aislinn: longest time. And then within the past like year, I’ve definitely realized that aesthetically and (0:08:30) Aislinn: vibe wise, I am very picky about my games in that sense. And all three of those games fit that good (0:08:37) Aislinn: soundtrack and nice aesthetic. Like if a game doesn’t look good, I realized that I’m not like (0:08:45) Aislinn: a huge fan. Like personally, even though I know, and this is this is hot water that I’m treading (0:08:49) Aislinn: into, but I know a lot of people love Baldur’s Gate. I don’t think I’m ever going to play Baldur’s (0:08:54) Aislinn: Gate because I don’t like how it looks. It’s not my my favorite aesthetic. So hot take, but I (0:09:01) Aislinn: unfortunately am a sucker for aesthetics. Yeah. Yeah. (0:09:04) Al: I think anybody who says they don’t care how their games look is lying to you. It’s just (0:09:10) Al: that people have different preferences, right? Because I care how my games look, right? There (0:09:16) Al: are games that I’ve seen come out that have been like, you know, PS3 style graphics, like (0:09:21) Al: they’re trying to recreate that vibe. And I don’t like how they look, you know? But (0:09:27) Al: equally the, you know, the more 3D Pokemon games have generally people have generally (0:09:34) Al: not liked the look of, and I’ve quite liked them. I mean, it’s not like Scarlet and Violet (0:09:34) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:09:38) Al: is the most good looking game, but I’m just not bothered by it. And specifically, I really (0:09:39) Aislinn: Yeah. Mm-hmm. (0:09:43) Al: like how Pokemon Legends look. I actively like how that game looks, even though some (0:09:45) Aislinn: Yeah, me too. (0:09:47) Al: people really dislike it. So yeah, I think it’s a lie to say you don’t care how games (0:09:48) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:09:52) Al: look, but it’s a way that people describe the fact that we have different preferences. (0:09:58) Al: And so people will be like, “Oh, oh, I just, I don’t care about graphics.” And it’s like, (0:10:01) Al: You do, it’s just what your preference is. (0:10:04) Al: are different from other people. So when you see a game that you like and other people (0:10:08) Al: call it bad, you’re like, “Oh, clearly that means I don’t care about graphics.” It’s like, (0:10:11) Al: “No, you just like what other people don’t and that’s fine.” You couldn’t agree more. (0:10:13) Aislinn: Yeah, I agree, I 1000% agree. (0:10:19) Aislinn: I could not agree, I couldn’t, I could agree more, I don’t know what the phrase is, but I think you know what I mean. (0:10:24) Aislinn: I couldn’t agree more, thank you. (0:10:26) Al: Yes. Cool. Well, I haven’t been playing… (0:10:27) Aislinn: English is hard. (0:10:34) Al: I haven’t been playing a lot because I’ve spent most of my time podcasting because I’ve (0:10:37) Aislinn: It’s been sporadic, though. (0:10:45) Al: been recording six episodes in two and a half weeks to get ready to go away. Obviously, (0:10:48) Aislinn: Oh my god. (0:10:50) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:10:52) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:10:52) Al: I finished up Dave the Diver for the Dave the Diver episodes. I’ve managed to finish (0:10:56) Al: that story, so tune in next week to find out my first thoughts on Dave the Diver. (0:11:04) Al: I have picked up for a very short period of time so far. I haven’t played much of it, (0:11:08) Al: but I’ve just picked up Chicken Journey, which is a 2D chicken platforming RPG. (0:11:15) Aislinn: actually I think this is on my wish list it looks so cute (0:11:20) Al: Yeah, I was on sale in the… was it the summer sale? I don’t know, I lose track. Whatever (0:11:26) Aislinn: probably (0:11:27) Al: the most recent sale was on Steam, and it’s been on my list for a while, and I saw that (0:11:33) Al: it’s about 10 hours to complete, so I was like, “That feels like a good… Yeah, let’s (0:11:37) Al: go for that then.” So that will probably be my holiday game. About half an hour. Really (0:11:39) Aislinn: nice very nice how much of it how much I was gonna say how much of it have you played thus far (0:11:47) Aislinn: okay all right so not much of a first first look got it (0:11:51) Al: but I’ve played enough to know that I don’t dislike the controls, which is always a good start. (0:11:55) Aislinn: that’s a huge plus honestly (0:11:57) Al: And the game looks like what you expect based on the materials, so I’m not seeing any false (0:12:03) Al: advertising. So we’ll see how the platforming challenges are and what the story is. And yeah. (0:12:12) Aislinn: Yeah, I’m looking forward to hearing more about it from you definitely, because it is, (0:12:16) Aislinn: I did confirm it is on my wish list, so to get your take would be fantastic. (0:12:21) Al: will mention it at some point, I’m sure. Well, that’s what we’ve been playing. (0:12:23) Aislinn: Awesome. (0:12:28) Al: We’re going to talk about some game news. There’s not a lot, and mainly that’s because we’re (0:12:33) Al: recording quite early. So if something happens in the last week when this comes out, that’s because (0:12:41) Al: we didn’t mention it because we’ve already recorded SAWs. So the first news is that Far Lands have (0:12:49) Al: have announced their early access is coming. (0:12:51) Al: on the 24th of July for people who don’t remember, because I talk about too many games. (0:13:01) Al: This is a 2D pixel art farming game in space. (0:13:09) Al: Yeah, I don’t think there’s a huge amount to say, they’ve announced their early access. (0:13:16) Aislinn: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I you know my take on pretty much all the game news is that I have never seen this game before (0:13:24) Aislinn: But it looks I did I actually copied and pasted it (0:13:24) Al: » Island literally wrote that next to every single news. (0:13:27) Al: I’ve first time seeing this game. (0:13:29) Aislinn: And literally copied and pasted it. I was like, oh I haven’t seen any of these games (0:13:35) Aislinn: It looks like us. It looks like a space a space star do (0:13:38) Al: pretty much. Yeah, I don’t, it’s not like I think this game looks bad. There’s nothing (0:13:39) Aislinn: Okay (0:13:45) Al: about it that excites me in particular, but, you know, different people, etc. So if you (0:13:52) Aislinn: Yeah, it fills that niche. (0:13:54) Al: want to space stardew, this is one of the many options coming out in the next few months. (0:13:59) Aislinn: And you know my take about another farming sim in my life, I don’t have time! (0:14:06) Aislinn: But I appreciate it for what it is. (0:14:07) Aislinn: I do appreciate it for what it is, and if that was filling the niche for me, I would (0:14:11) Aislinn: be stoked about it. (0:14:12) Al: Yeah, yeah, fair enough. (0:14:15) Al: GoGo Town have released more information about their roadmap, so listeners will know what (0:14:23) Al: this game is because we covered it a couple weeks ago. (0:14:27) Al: I played it. (0:14:28) Al: It’s an early access. (0:14:30) Al: My summary, Aislinn, because you won’t have listened to that episode, is it’s an early (0:14:34) Al: access but not one of the buggy early accesses. (0:14:38) Al: One of the early accesses that just feels like it’s missing a lot of content. (0:14:42) Al: I think this will be really good to play once it’s once it’s further down the line. (0:14:47) Al: But I feel like after kind of six or seven hours, was it 10, 10 hours, something like that, (0:14:53) Al: I played of it. (0:14:54) Aislinn: I mean, considering six or seven hours and you feel that way already, that’s pretty good, (0:14:54) Al: I feel like I’ve gotten everything I can out of it just now, but I have very much (0:15:04) Aislinn: but that’s unfortunate. (0:15:05) Aislinn: It’s like the early access is lack of content, but I much, much, much rather that than it (0:15:10) Aislinn: being a buggy game for sure. (0:15:12) Al: Yeah, that’s always been my feeling because there’s a few others that have played in that (0:15:16) Al: similar vein like Ooblets and Coral Island. They were both similar where the game did (0:15:22) Al: not feel buggy at all. It just felt unfinished and there was a lot of missing content. All (0:15:29) Al: of them I’ve come back to at 1.0 and had a great time again. I never feel bad about them, (0:15:35) Al: because I go into them knowing they’re early access. I’d say, “Well, yeah, I would much (0:15:38) Al: rather that, then here’s a game where everything exists, but it’s gonna crash. (0:15:42) Al: Every five minutes. You know. (0:15:42) Aislinn: Yeah, no, I much rather that. (0:15:47) Aislinn: I agree. (0:15:48) Aislinn: I wholeheartedly agree. (0:15:50) Aislinn: But yeah, this is the go-go town game for what I, again, first time seeing the game. (0:15:55) Aislinn: So all I know is what I’ve seen on the Steam page store for the most part, but it does (0:16:00) Aislinn: look like a whole bunch of fun. (0:16:02) Aislinn: So when it is fully fleshed out, it looks like there’s a lot of things that like a lot (0:16:06) Aislinn: of time that you could sink into the game. (0:16:08) Al: Yeah, yeah, definitely. And you can write a unicorn tricycle. So, yeah, that’s the important thing. (0:16:12) Aislinn: You can high five a cow. (0:16:14) Aislinn: [LAUGH] I saw that and I was like, whoa, I was like ready. (0:16:20) Aislinn: I was ready, I was those hype. (0:16:21) Aislinn: [LAUGH] It’s so cute. (0:16:22) Al: Yeah, so they’ve updated their roadmap a little bit. There’s an update coming out pretty much (0:16:32) Al: just when this comes out with some more updates to their worker AIs. A lot of this game, Aislinn, (0:16:38) Al: is about kind of getting people to your town and telling them to, like you give them jobs to do. (0:16:44) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:16:44) Al: And so they do the things that you were doing, they automate them and stuff like that. So (0:16:48) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:16:48) Al: there’s obviously some bugs within that because that’s a very complicated thing to do. (0:16:52) Al: So they’ve got a bunch of updates coming for fixing of that. And then they’ve announced that (0:16:59) Al: their first major update is going to come mid-August. And that includes, it’s mostly (0:17:02) Aislinn: Nice. Soon. (0:17:06) Al: kind of like quality of life improvements. And they had said, I think they’re going to expand (0:17:10) Al: the map and stuff like that, which was kind of one of the biggest things that I had noticed about (0:17:13) Al: the game was it felt quite small, experience wise, which is good that they’re focusing on. (0:17:22) Al: What people are feeling are the things they would like to improve quickest. (0:17:28) Aislinn: And that’s the beauty of more indie games in general, is like you’re able to have that (0:17:32) Aislinn: community and have that communication, which is very nice, very refreshing. (0:17:38) Al: Garden Witch Life have released a new trailer. I feel like the name tells you everything (0:17:45) Al: about what this game is, right? Garden Witch Life. It’s a life sim where you’re a witch (0:17:47) Aislinn: Yeah, I would agree. (0:17:52) Al: and you’re farming. Yeah. So yeah, they’ve released a new trailer with some kind of hints (0:17:56) Aislinn: Yeah, yeah, yep, that’s that’s what I took away from looking at the game as well (0:18:01) Aislinn: And that little little guy (0:18:04) Al: towards the story and (0:18:08) Al: yeah I i they’ve not got a release date yet but they are still saying that it’s releasing this (0:18:12) Al: year so if they’re saying that in july i’m feeling reasonably confident a bit (0:18:18) Aislinn: Yeah, well, well, I guess, yeah, I think I, I, I would agree. (0:18:21) Aislinn: I would agree. (0:18:22) Aislinn: I wish, I wish I could, I realized now that I was so excited about that little (0:18:26) Aislinn: guy, but this is an audio only podcast. (0:18:29) Aislinn: So that doesn’t make any sense, but just know that there is on specifically the (0:18:31) Al: There’s a little guy. (0:18:34) Aislinn: steam page, if you go to the steam page and you go to the decorate section on (0:18:39) Aislinn: that little bed, there’s a little guy right there. (0:18:41) Aislinn: That’s very cute. (0:18:43) Aislinn: I mean, there’s a bunch of little guys, but there’s specifically a little guy (0:18:43) Al: just a little guy. Yeah, he is. He’s a little guy. And he’s following the theme of frogs (0:18:46) Aislinn: And he’s real (0:18:48) Aislinn: Good (0:18:51) Aislinn: He’s a little guy (0:18:55) Aislinn: He is (0:18:56) Al: this episode. So low frog guy. (0:18:58) Aislinn: That’s my take on garden witch life 10 out of 10 cuz a little guy (0:19:01) Aislinn: Bye. (laughs) (0:19:06) Al: We also have a small update about Lens Island, so I think we talked about the Game Modes (0:19:11) Al: update last week. That is now out, and they’ve released the entire patch notes. I don’t think (0:19:18) Al: there was anything big that I saw in there that we hadn’t already talked about. Basically, (0:19:24) Al: Aislinn, this update is about adding new game modes, and changes in difficulty, but not (0:19:30) Al: just our easy, hard, medium sort of thing, but they’ve got… (0:19:36) Al: So many different options. You can turn on Permadeath, or turn it off. You can change (0:19:43) Al: what happens to your bag when you die, whether it stays with you, whether it drops, or whether (0:19:47) Al: it’s destroyed. They’ve got 30 or 40 different updates in different settings for the difficulty, (0:19:58) Aislinn: Whoo, that’s nice. That’s awesome. It’s a game. That’s also I think on my wish list (0:20:02) Aislinn: But I just have not gotten around to playing it (0:20:04) Aislinn: But good to know that there’s going to be even more options one and if I am able to get around to it (0:20:09) Al: Yeah, I mean, I’m not going to encourage you to play it right now because their 1.0 comes (0:20:13) Al: out in like two months. So, very soon. I’m worse than you. It’s not on my wish list. (0:20:17) Aislinn: We’ll revisit in two months then. [laughs] (0:20:23) Al: I own the game and I haven’t played it yet. That’s not quite true. Well, part of the problem (0:20:25) Aislinn: Awwwwww! [laughs] (0:20:30) Al: is that I might have a problem in kick-starting games, and this was one of the ones I kick-started, (0:20:37) Al: So obviously I got the code for then. (0:20:39) Al: I have opened the game, but I opened the game on my Steam deck and I went to play it and realized they didn’t have controller support when the first version came out and I went, “I’m not going to do this just now then.” (0:20:41) Aislinn: Okay. (0:20:47) Aislinn: Awwww… (0:20:50) Aislinn: Awwww… (0:20:51) Al: It has now been, I think it has now, I think been two years since the added controller support, but I’ve still not played it yet. (0:20:56) Aislinn: Okay. (0:20:57) Aislinn: When- you know when you get to it is when you get to it. laughs (0:21:01) Al: Exactly, exactly. So at this point, I’m waiting for 1.0 and then I’ll be all in. (0:21:06) Aislinn: Two months, two months. (0:21:09) Al: Well, I’m in a way for the next month anyway, so. (0:21:12) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. It’s true. laughs (0:21:15) Al: July has been a very busy with games. (0:21:19) Al: There were so many games that released in July, it was a little bit stressful. (0:21:24) Al: Gogotown being one of them. Thanks, guys. (0:21:30) Al: That’s the game news. (0:21:31) Al: We also have a new game, Wind Story. (0:21:36) Al: So this I’ll just as I always do read a little blurb about this. (0:21:39) Al: So I mean, it’s a like a life farming life, right? (0:21:59) Al: I’m just going to do it. (0:22:00) Aislinn: Again, I don’t have time, but the game looks really nice. (0:22:05) Aislinn: I really like the colors and I am a sucker for the Octopath art style. (0:22:10) Al: Yeah, so was it 2DHD? Is that what they’re calling it? Where it’s like your kind of pixel art, (0:22:10) Aislinn: Art style-esque thing. (0:22:12) Aislinn: Uhhh, good question. (0:22:16) Aislinn: I, I, I, you know, even though I said I like the art style because it’s Octopath, I’ve (0:22:16) Al: I think that’s what they call it? Let’s see, or is that like a trademark or something? (0:22:25) Aislinn: never played Octopath in my life, but I’ve seen friends play Octopath and I appreciate (0:22:30) Aislinn: the art style, but I don’t know anything about the game. (0:22:31) Al: You can like how something looks. Yeah so Wikipedia says it’s an HD 2D not 2D HD. Sorry, (0:22:39) Aislinn: Ah, okay. (0:22:40) Al: HD 2D. So yeah I have mixed feelings about that style of game. Like I know it’s trying to do the… (0:22:40) Aislinn: HG2D, okay. (0:22:51) Al: it’s trying to be like kind of 2D RPGs where in the past but try and make them more modern. (0:23:01) Al: If you’re trying to do that style of game you either do this or you do just standard 2D pixel art. (0:23:10) Al: There’s something about the characters on the background they never quite fit properly and I (0:23:17) Al: just I’m not a huge fan of any of this style of graphics. I think that’s a me thing. I just feel (0:23:24) Al: like they stand out badly against the background. (0:23:28) Aislinn: I mean, yeah, I’ve it’s I feel like the octopath art style. I feel like it’s very divisive. It’s either you like it or you don’t (0:23:35) Aislinn: Like I’ve definitely heard your take of just not being super stoked about it (0:23:40) Aislinn: But I’ve also heard people that will die on a hill and say it’s amazing. So (0:23:45) Aislinn: Again, like you were saying in the beginning the aesthetics it’s a preference (0:23:48) Al: Yeah. It’s not even just like that, because I’m trying to figure out whether it’s because, (0:23:53) Al: obviously, the character models are like flat, kind of like Paper Mario, but the reason that (0:23:58) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:23:59) Al: I prefer how Paper Mario looks is because like everything looks like that, whereas this is just (0:24:04) Al: the character on an otherwise high-definition 3D world. And it just, there’s something about that (0:24:12) Al: that just doesn’t, what’s the opposite of tickling your brain? It like, stabbing my brain. I don’t (0:24:15) Aislinn: I feel like that’s so aggressive smoosh smooshing. I don’t know. I’m not sure (0:24:19) Al: brain does not like it. Smooshing my brain. That sounds worse. (0:24:26) Aislinn: That does sound worse, I don’t know (0:24:31) Al: Yeah. I don’t know. I, yeah. Some people will love how this looks, and that’s good. (0:24:36) Aislinn: Fair no (0:24:39) Al: But this game is coming soon, and that blurb that I gave you is most of what we know. There’s some (0:24:46) Al: more kind of description. (0:24:48) Al: And there’s a bunch of screenshots if you want to look on the Steam page, (0:24:51) Al: but there’s not a huge amount more and, yeah. (0:24:56) Aislinn: Yeah, I’ve got nothing else to add with that. (0:24:59) Aislinn: I think it looks okay, you think it looks eh? (0:25:02) Aislinn: And that’s just, that’s just how it’d be. (0:25:06) Al: That is how it would be. (0:25:07) Al: However, a game that we both think looks great. (0:25:10) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:25:11) Al: However, I haven’t played it yet is Kamayru. (0:25:13) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:25:15) Al: We are going to talk about Kamaeru, a frog refuge. (0:25:18) Al: From someone who hasn’t played this, I guess I would describe this as looking like Usagi (0:25:24) Al: Shima, but frogs. (0:25:26) Al: Would you say that’s a fair description? (0:25:28) Aislinn: I have to look up what you just said. (0:25:29) Al: Oh, you’ve not played Usagi Shima? (0:25:32) Aislinn: No. (0:25:32) Al: Oh, no! (0:25:33) Aislinn: Oh, yeah. (0:25:33) Al: Where have you been? (0:25:34) Aislinn: No, I do know this. (0:25:35) Aislinn: I do notice. (0:25:36) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:25:37) Aislinn: It’s it is. (0:25:38) Al: Bunny game. (0:25:38) Aislinn: It is. (0:25:39) Aislinn: Yep. (0:25:40) Aislinn: No, I’ve heard of. (0:25:41) Aislinn: You know, it is. (0:25:42) Al: Ah. (0:25:42) Aislinn: I never played it because I have a friend that I knew I knew would love this game. (0:25:44) Aislinn: And I was like, I’m gonna let her have it and have her moment because I feel like this (0:25:48) Aislinn: is a game suited for her because she is her whole branding is rabbit. (0:25:51) Aislinn: So I’m like, I’m gonna let her have her moment. (0:25:53) Aislinn: But I’ve seen this game very cute. (0:25:55) Aislinn: And I think from what I know about this game, yes, it’s very similar. (0:25:58) Aislinn: It is, instead of it being a bunny collecting game, a frog. (0:25:59) Al: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Cool. Well, yeah, I mean, I personally, when I’ve seen it, I’ve liked (0:26:07) Al: the look of it. I’ve seen you stream it a little bit because if people don’t know, Aislinn (0:26:09) Aislinn: Mm-hmm (0:26:12) Al: is a streamer, a very good streamer, a very fun streamer. Doing mostly cosy games would (0:26:14) Aislinn: Hey, thank you (0:26:18) Al: be a fair way to describe it. You don’t discriminate on your cosy games, you just do whatever you’re (0:26:25) Aislinn: Yeah, pretty much. It’s whatever. It happens to usually be cozy, but I’m open to anything (0:26:32) Aislinn: as long as I’m having a good time at the end of the day. (0:26:34) Al: Yeah. Yeah. Fair enough. Cool. Well, I’ll hand it off to you to start off with then. (0:26:40) Al: Tell me about this game. You’ve gotten into it. What’s it like? (0:26:44) Aislinn: Well, first of all, buckle in, because it’s time. (0:26:50) Al: It’s time for Essay! (0:26:55) Aislinn: I love this game, just to preface it. (0:26:58) Aislinn: So I am definitely very biased in the sense that I will give this game all of the praise (0:27:02) Aislinn: in the world, because I love this game, I’ve met the developers, and everything from beginning (0:27:11) Aislinn: to end has been a wonderful experience with this game. (0:27:13) Aislinn: I’m very biased in the– (0:27:14) Aislinn: I’m very biased in the positive end of this game, but what Kamaeru is from the website (0:27:21) Aislinn: Kamaeru is a cozy farming sim game in which you breed and collect frogs, decorate your refuge, and restore wetlands in order to grow food and other resources (0:27:29) Aislinn: There’s also, like, from the Steam page as well, it mentions (0:27:34) Aislinn: With the help of the game’s cast of welcoming NPCs, you have photograph and breed frogs to increase your reputation, decorate your frog refuge, and plant native crops de– (0:27:44) Aislinn: to help your amphibian abode thrive (0:27:47) Aislinn: Um, and pretty much the gameplay loop of the game is collecting frogs, whether you are feeding them, you’re breeding them, you are taking photos of them (0:27:58) Aislinn: You can collect 500+ frogs, and add them to your frogadex (0:28:02) Al: 500. Wow. So many frogs. I always find it funny when they say 500 plus. It’s like how (0:28:03) Aislinn: 500+! So many frogs! It’s so good! (0:28:09) Al: many more plus? Is- is- (0:28:10) Aislinn: I think it’s like, I think it’s like, I’m not going to lie, I think it’s like five. (0:28:14) Aislinn: I have the the number 512 in my head, and I don’t know if that’s correct or not. (0:28:18) Al: I just feel like just put the number, right? Like 500 plus, just put the number, right? (0:28:21) Aislinn: Yeah, right? Yeah, I… (0:28:25) Aislinn: Yeah, yeah, I agree, but you know, you gotta you gotta make it look enticing by saying plus. (0:28:31) Al: But like, I feel like most people would probably look at that and go, “Oh, so like 501 then.” (0:28:39) Al: Whereas if it was like much more than that, you would put the number, right? Like if it (0:28:41) Al: was 590, you wouldn’t say 500 plus, you’d say nearly 600. (0:28:46) Aislinn: True. It’s like saying, it’s like people when they say like, oh a few, a couple, (0:28:50) Aislinn: that could mean multiple different things to different people, so. (0:28:56) Aislinn: I think it’s like five, twelve. I’m pretty sure it’s less than five fifty though. (0:29:00) Aislinn: So I’ll say somewhere within that range. True. (0:29:00) Al: I mean 500 is a lot, no matter how many exactly it is, 500 plus. (0:29:07) Aislinn: And they’re all adorable. All so cute. And I love that it’s called the Frogadex. I think that is so (0:29:13) Aislinn: adorable. (0:29:14) Al: Hmm. Classic. (0:29:16) Aislinn: Yeah, it’s real. It’s real good. You collect the frogs, 500 plus frogs, just so you know. (0:29:21) Al: 500 plus. (0:29:25) Aislinn: You restore the wetlands, which is one of my favorite things, I think, by far about (0:29:29) Aislinn: this game is that there is a… it’s not… it’s definitely by no means. There’s not a (0:29:35) Aislinn: lot of… it’s not super… it’s not super in-depth in regards to, like, the (0:29:40) Aislinn: restor… like, learning about the restoration process, but you do learn (0:29:44) Aislinn: about what it’s (0:29:46) Aislinn: kind of like to restore a wetland or restore an (0:29:48) Aislinn: environment and it there is a focus on this in this game of (0:29:52) Aislinn: just conservation and everything, which makes me very (0:29:56) Aislinn: happy. Like there’s a it’s not just a game about collecting (0:30:00) Aislinn: frogs is also a message, especially with me melting over (0:30:04) Aislinn: here because of global warming, I think it’s wonderful. It’s (0:30:06) Aislinn: perfect timing. It’s wonderful. So there’s that. And then with (0:30:12) Aislinn: that, there’s also decorating your wetlands is decorating your (0:30:16) Aislinn: there is froggy. There’s a froggy chair. Confirm there is a (0:30:20) Aislinn: froggy chair. There’s froggy furniture in general. So if you (0:30:23) Aislinn: like those little guys, this froggy everything. And it is (0:30:30) Aislinn: available on Steam on the Xbox series and the Nintendo Switch. (0:30:37) Aislinn: But if it were up to me, I would recommend playing it on (0:30:41) Aislinn: thirsty with a mouse because it’s a very clicky game. (0:30:43) Al: It’s a very clicky game, isn’t it? (0:30:46) Aislinn: I was given a key by Armor Games because that’s the publisher, so they gave me a key for Steam but I bought the game on Switch because I loved the game so much that I wanted to also buy the game to support developers as well and I still enjoy it on the Switch but I definitely enjoy it way more on the PC personally. (0:31:04) Al: Mm hmm. (0:31:12) Al: Does the touch screen work on Switch? (0:31:12) Aislinn: Actually, it’s a good point. (0:31:16) Al: You haven’t tried. (0:31:16) Aislinn: I realized… I don’t think I tried. (0:31:18) Al: I can’t believe you haven’t tried. (0:31:19) Al: Like, I just I can’t I can’t imagine you would you would go and go, oh, (0:31:23) Al: this is this is a game that seems to work much better when you can just click (0:31:27) Al: on the things you want and you didn’t go and you didn’t go, well, (0:31:28) Aislinn: Yeah, I think I did, I think I did, but also I don’t remember, because the most recent (0:31:30) Al: let me just try tapping on the things that I want. (0:31:39) Aislinn: times that I’ve played Kameeru on the Switch, I had it all the time docked on a TV. (0:31:44) Al: Yeah, that’s fair. That’s fair (0:31:44) Aislinn: So that’s why I’m like, um, I don’t remember I don’t because I just, I haven’t played the (0:31:49) Aislinn: Switch handheld in a while. (0:31:51) Aislinn: So that’s probably why I don’t remember. (0:31:53) Aislinn: I would guess so though, I would guess it can be touchscreen, but you’re going to primarily (0:31:58) Aislinn: be playing it with a controller, which is okay, but it’s definitely built better for (0:32:02) Aislinn: a mouse. (0:32:04) Aislinn: And even when I was talking with the developers, when I met them at PAX East, they were like, (0:32:08) Aislinn: yeah, this game is better on, on a, on a PC. (0:32:10) Aislinn: So even they’re just, even they’re aware, but they have to, you got, you got to do what (0:32:14) Al: It’s hard, I think, when you’ve got a game that’s very clicky to map that to a controller. (0:32:20) Aislinn: - Yeah. (0:32:20) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:32:23) Al: I did just search and it looks like it doesn’t work with the touch screen on Switch, which (0:32:27) Al: is a bit sad. That could have been a really nice way to do it. I actually think, you know, (0:32:28) Aislinn: Aww. Yeah. (0:32:31) Al: because Usagi Shima is like a mobile game, so it works really well with that, because (0:32:36) Al: obviously you just got a touch screen. I feel like it could work really well on like an (0:32:36) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:32:39) Al: iPad or something like that. But yeah, I get the complication with that. (0:32:40) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:32:44) Al: It’s difficult. And I think that, you know, even something like Stardew with a controller, (0:32:53) Al: there’s always a few things that you’re just like, “That’s not ideal,” because it’s a difficult (0:32:56) Aislinn: - Yeah. (0:32:56) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. (0:32:57) Al: thing to do when you design it around mouse and keyboard. That’s how you start off with (0:33:02) Al: things and that makes specific decisions about how the game works, you know. (0:33:07) Aislinn: Yeah, definitely, again, definitely built for the mouse and keyboard situation and everything, (0:33:16) Aislinn: but yeah, just gotta be more marketable. (0:33:20) Aislinn: Get it out to more. (0:33:21) Aislinn: The more people you can get it out to, the better. (0:33:23) Aislinn: And I want more people to see this game anyways. (0:33:24) Aislinn: I love, love, love this game, just the conservation aspect, the everything is cute, the art style (0:33:30) Aislinn: is adorable, the people behind, the people on the team of the game itself are also wonderful (0:33:34) Aislinn: human beings. So like everything through and through. (0:33:38) Aislinn: It’s just it’s just a wonderfully cozy brain turning off type of game and if (0:33:44) Aislinn: you love frogs it’s it’s just it’s a it’s a good game. (0:33:49) Al: So, in terms of actual gameplay, you’re collecting the frogs. How do you collect the frogs? Where (0:33:54) Aislinn: So you can collect the frogs by either taking a photo of them or you can feed them. How to get (0:33:56) Al: do they come from? (0:34:05) Aislinn: the frogs is by placing furniture either in your refuge or in any of the wetlands that you’re (0:34:11) Aislinn: restoring. And then also they’ll appear in the ponds that you also plant or put down rather in (0:34:19) Aislinn: the wetlands as well. So they appear in any of those scenarios and once they appear you’ll see (0:34:24) Aislinn: a little animation pop up if it’s new and you can collect the frogs from there. If you’re feeding (0:34:32) Aislinn: the frogs to collect them you’ll also have to essentially farm and get the bugs that you need. (0:34:38) Aislinn: But what I like is that the game gives you the option to feed it like the bugs that you do have (0:34:43) Aislinn: and then when you see the frog again if you have those bugs that you weren’t able to feed it then (0:34:47) Aislinn: you could feed them again and then you can collect those frogs. The distinction between taking a photo (0:34:54) Aislinn: frogs is that if you take a photo it just gets added to the frogadex. If you collect it it not (0:34:59) Aislinn: only gets added to the frogadex but it also can be used for the breeding of the frogs. (0:35:05) Aislinn: So and then the breeding is also another way to collect frogs as well is that you can try and (0:35:09) Aislinn: breed for the different patterns with the frogs as well. (0:35:12) Al: Yeah, so I saw kind of like a bunch of them are just like it’s a green frog with red arms (0:35:18) Al: type thing. So do you get that by breeding like a green frog and a red frog? Is that (0:35:18) Aislinn: Yeah, well yes and no, yes in the sense that that is ideally how you would do it, but no (0:35:22) Al: the idea? (0:35:23) Al: » Thank you. (0:35:27) Aislinn: in the sense that like the minigames, so this game also has minigames as well, the minigame (0:35:32) Aislinn: that you play to do the breeding, it’s essentially just tic-tac-toe with the computer essentially. (0:35:41) Aislinn: So if you’re lucky, you’ll get what you want, but you have to kind of be strategic with (0:35:47) Aislinn: your tic-tac-toe and hope for the best. (0:35:49) Al: Okay, fair enough. So that’s how… So when you’re doing the breeding, do you select two of them, (0:35:58) Al: and then you do this minigame, and if you win, you get something. Okay. (0:36:02) Aislinn: Yeah, pretty much (0:36:05) Aislinn: Yeah, you collect you choose to the frogs that you fed and then that allows you to (0:36:11) Aislinn: do the mini game to try and get either a pattern that you a pattern and a color that you want or just a pattern depending (0:36:18) Aislinn: On what you’re what you’re trying to breed for you can if you if you want like a specific color (0:36:22) Aislinn: you could do two different patterns and (0:36:25) Aislinn: do both pink of (0:36:28) Aislinn: each frog or something so (0:36:30) Aislinn: There’s a lot of there’s a lot of different (0:36:33) Aislinn: Options between the patterns and the colors that are available to you to try and get what you want to fill up your frog adex (0:36:40) Aislinn: with breeding like eventually I’ll probably (0:36:43) Aislinn: End up breeding towards the tail end of completing the frog adex to try and get fill in those gaps (0:36:49) Al: When you have a very few specific ones that you’ve got to get yeah, yeah, so you’re finding it’s quicker just to catch them in the wild just now because of that. (0:36:51) Aislinn: Yeah (0:36:52) Aislinn: Exactly. That’s probably (0:36:56) Aislinn: Yeah, cuz it’s just yeah cuz it’s like RNG essentially with the with the breeding (0:37:02) Aislinn: Which it’s either you love it or hate it (0:37:04) Aislinn: I guess like for me I don’t particularly mind but I can see someone being like well (0:37:08) Aislinn: I wish I could be more selective about it. So it (0:37:12) Aislinn: Depends on your preference, but definitely I think towards the tail end of completing completing the frog adex (0:37:18) Aislinn: It would be best to just do the breeding and try and hope for the best and you’ll probably have enough money to do (0:37:23) Aislinn: So it only costs I know in the screenshot. It says eight coins (0:37:26) Aislinn: I’m pretty sure that’s consistent throughout the entire gameplay loop that it’s always eight coins (0:37:31) Aislinn: which is not (0:37:33) Al: Yeah, okay, fair enough. How are you getting coins then? Is that through tourism by having (0:37:41) Al: the wetlands, or is it just having the - how do you get them? (0:37:45) Aislinn: That is through the crafting aspect, which is like another minigame in itself. So in each wetland, (0:37:52) Aislinn: I won’t spoil all the wetlands because it is, I guess, a spoiler, technically, and it’s kind (0:37:58) Aislinn: of part of the story. But in each wetland that you are able to have access to, there are different (0:38:04) Aislinn: stations with different NPCs that you interact with and learn about as well in their backstories. (0:38:10) Aislinn: But there’s different stations where you can cook and craft, like you can make. (0:38:16) Aislinn: You can make jams, berry jams, and stuff like that. And then you take those materials that you get, (0:38:24) Aislinn: and you’re able to sell them in the shop back in your refuge to be able to get money, to then be (0:38:29) Aislinn: able to buy more ponds, buy more plants for your wetlands, and buy furniture, breed, repaint your (0:38:40) Aislinn: furniture, etc, etc. So that’s another thing, too, is that you can change depending on most of the (0:38:45) Aislinn: furniture, but most of the furniture, too, in the game. You can also repaint to any color that you (0:38:49) Aislinn: want, but you have to understand color theory. I mean, I guess you could just mess around with it, (0:38:53) Aislinn: but it would take, it would take, it would take, it would take, it would be a go quicker (0:38:58) Aislinn: if you knew color theory. If you don’t know color theory, you’ll get there one way or another. (0:39:02) Al: Instead of just choosing a color, you’re essentially adding color which changes what the color is. (0:39:08) Aislinn: Yeah, they… (0:39:09) Al: If I have a red one and I add blue, it goes purple sort of thing. (0:39:13) Aislinn: yeah pretty much yeah they (0:39:16) Aislinn: to work with and then you kind of adjust the levels from there so you can try and get to the (0:39:21) Aislinn: color that you’re trying to get to. I will say the color palette is still even though there is (0:39:25) Aislinn: like the color theory aspect I will say the color palette still feels slightly limited (0:39:31) Aislinn: but it mostly gets the job done and there’s still a lot of (0:39:35) Al: Now I need to know, on the Steam page, they’ve got this frog standing on the top of a froggy (0:39:41) Al: slide looking very powerful in his stance. Why is he so confident? Yeah. All right, fair (0:39:42) Aislinn: Yeeeaaah! (0:39:48) Aislinn: Why is he so confident? ‘Cause he’s confidently cute! (0:39:53) Aislinn: He’s confidently cute! (0:39:55) Al: enough. (0:39:56) Aislinn: Well, yeah, but like, you can- when you discover the frogs, like in your refuge, (0:40:01) Aislinn: in your wetlands and everything, they can also be in different poses as well, which is very cute. (0:40:05) Al: Yeah, yeah, fair enough. It seems it does seem very similar to sagashima in terms of (0:40:10) Al: like, you know, you’ve got your furniture and they have specific things that they do (0:40:14) Al: with the furniture and you’ll just randomly find that all this one’s on this thing now, (0:40:20) Al: which is very cute. Like the one kind of reaching into a wheelbarrow is very cute. (0:40:25) Aislinn: Oh that one when I saw that one for the first time I cried a little bit. It’s so cute. It’s so cute (0:40:32) Aislinn: That’s what I think gets me the most is just I literally I think through most of my gameplay (0:40:37) Aislinn: When I was streaming at all the entire time. I was like, it’s so cute. These little guys. They’re so cute (0:40:44) Al: How do you find the selection of furniture and poses? Are there enough that you don’t (0:40:49) Al: feel like it’s just repeating very quickly? (0:40:52) Aislinn: Um, I would say the the furniture I haven’t unlocked all the furniture actually, I’m currently in the process (0:40:58) Aislinn: so I finished the main game and (0:41:00) Aislinn: I’m now currently in the process of trying to get (0:41:03) Aislinn: all (0:41:04) Aislinn: Not even all of the furniture, but a bunch of the furniture (0:41:08) Aislinn: My priority more so is I want to complete the frog and eggs. That’s my goal. How will I complete that? (0:41:13) Aislinn: I don’t know. When will I complete that? I don’t know but (0:41:15) Aislinn: With the furniture from the options that I’ve seen it’s a pretty pretty decent variety (0:41:20) Aislinn: and furniture. (0:41:22) Aislinn: As for the frogs, I think I am getting to a point in my Steam game where frogs are (0:41:42) Aislinn: definitely starting to repeat themselves and there is only like maybe like five or so poses (0:41:48) Aislinn: that they cycle through I wanna say. (0:41:50) Aislinn: not too many poses. (0:41:52) Aislinn: It’s just a very cute game to me, and I really love it. (0:42:13) Aislinn: So I personally am not really getting tired of it, but I don’t know when I complete the (0:42:17) Aislinn: frog attacks or when I get all the furniture what else I can do with the (0:42:22) Aislinn: I think once that’s done, like the game is pretty much like done. There’s nothing you can do at this point. (0:42:28) Aislinn: Even when you complete the main story, depending on how much of completionist you are, (0:42:31) Aislinn: it might be like a one and done so much so that like this is another kind of complaint that I have. (0:42:38) Aislinn: But it’s again also a me thing more than anything is that the game doesn’t allow you to have multiple save files. (0:42:44) Aislinn: So it’s literally like one and done. (0:42:47) Aislinn: So that could be (0:42:49) Aislinn: that could be an issue. Personally, why I- (0:42:52) Aislinn: I want multiple save files is because I want to be able to have my on stream copy of the game, (0:42:59) Aislinn: and then my off stream copy of the game, because I like to play this game also in my personal time. (0:43:04) Aislinn: But that’s why I bought the Steam version, because that’s my personal copy, or my second save file, (0:43:09) Aislinn: you could say. But it’s just the only thing that kind of is like “eh” is the fact that I have to (0:43:14) Aislinn: use the controller for that one. So it would be nice to be able to play both versions on PC, (0:43:20) Aislinn: or have both to safe. (0:43:23) Al: Yeah, yeah, fair enough. OK, in terms of the designs of the frog, I’ve seen, like, you (0:43:33) Al: know, obviously like the split colours and stuff like that. And I’ve seen some with spots. (0:43:39) Al: Do they have things like, you know, the stripey ones and stuff like that? Is it like, because (0:43:43) Al: obviously 500 is pretty easy to get to 500 when you’ve only got a few designs and a few (0:43:48) Al: colours, right? Because, like, just numbers multiply massively.

(0:44:35) Aislinn: so love because I love this specific type of pattern for like anything. (0:44:39) Aislinn: It is also kind of associated with emoji that I use like all the time for everything. (0:44:43) Aislinn: So I personally like the different patterns that they have for the frogs. (0:44:51) Aislinn: And I have no issue with it. (0:44:53) Aislinn: The only thing that gets kind of awkward is like, for example, (0:44:56) Aislinn: or yeah, for all of the patte
