Wesley Schouwenaars testte in de Schaal van Hebben de PlayStation PULSE Elite, de nieuwste gaming-headset van fabrikant Sony. Met een adviesprijs van 149,99 komt het bedrijf met een relatief betaalbare headset die doet wat het belooft. Wat opvalt is het design van de headset, dat mooi aansluit op het ontwerp van de PlayStation 5. Het geluid is goed, al mist het misschien wel wat laag ten opzichte van koptelefoons van high-end merken die ontworpen zijn voor het beluisteren van muziek. Overigens kun je in de Playstation zelf het geluid naar smaak aanpassen. De uitschuifbare microfoon doet wat het moet doen, al viel wel op dat het spraakgeluid niet per se beter is dan die van goedkopere headsets van andere fabrikanten. Met het design in het achterhoofd zou het een plus zijn geweest als de microfoon ingeschoven net zo goed zou presteren als in uitgeschoven positie. Tot slot is het gebruiksgemak uitstekend. Via PlayStation Link koppelt de heaset eenvoudig met de spelcomputer. Het is ook te gebruiken op je smartphone of PC/Mac.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patreon.com/RememberTheGame And you can check out Bradley's Twitch streams at: Twitch.tv/VideoGameOdyssey It's one of our world-renowned 'revisited' episodes this week, and we're taking another look at the game I consider to be the best looking, and possibly best playing, in the entire Game Boy library; The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. If you didn't grow up in this era, I could see how you might write Awakening off. The inventory system is a pain in the ass, it's easy to get lost, and compared to something like Link to the Past, it might seem a little basic. But for those of us that were obsessed with the SNES Zelda in the mid 90's, having a competent portable adaption like this to keep us busy on the road was mind blowing. To this day, Link's Awakening is a contender for my top 5 Zelda games. I can't talk Zelda on this show without a McCue brother popping up, and Bradley gave me a call this week to talk about our adventures trying to wakeup a fish in a bird egg with weird self playing instruments so we don't have to dream anymore. Trust me, it'll make sense soon. And before we Awaken, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks if someone will be hosting a show like this about modern games in 20 years? Would I ever consider waiving my PC bias and playing the original Fallout? And should I judge people's game rooms? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 old school Zelda's: The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventures of Link, and the Oracle games. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's tough, frustrating to play (at times), gorgeous to look at, and a game so many 90's kids grew up with. Oh yeah, and it makes me crazy. I love tough retro games, but this one hits different. the frustrating controls and hit & miss collision detection makes it more frustrating than fun at times. That said, when it's clicking, it's a great little game. And it genuinely might be one of the best looking and sounding 16-bit games I've ever laid my eye(s) on. My guest this week was the guy that I yelled at during the Ecco the Dolphin episode, my buddy, Andre. I decided to fire up The Lion King while we were talking again this week, and it spilled over into an Angry Adam appearance. I hope you like swears! And before we wait to be king, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks me what 5 people I would add to Smash Bros if I could. Do my goofy eyes make games harder to play? And the villains and heroes from recent games and TV shows I've been ingesting are coming to help/hurt me. How fucked am I? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Disney Genesis games: Aladdin, Quackshot, and Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse.

I haven't played a bad Star Wars game yet, and Super Star Wars is probably a top 3 for me at this point. I love this game! It scratches every itch I have. It's an SNES game. It's fun. It's tough as balls. It plays great. Aside form that damned Sandcrawler, I don't know if I have a single complaint! Just don't expect me to talk about the last third of the game, because I can't get that far... My go to guest for all things Star Wars is my pal Tyler, and we had a chat about why this game is so good, despite being so tough. And we did it WHILE I was playing the game and setting a new personal best for how long I could last without dying! And before we put go to war with the stars, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks me what I would do if I could make any video game, anyway I want. What games would I make harder if I could? And should Mario Kart continue to include auto-steer options in future iterations? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 tough as balls SNES games: Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, The Lion King, and Super Ghouls N Ghosts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Maniac Mansion was probably my go-to (even though it scared the hell out of me)! I know I'm not the only one that was scared of it either. You control a bunch of high school kids and set out to save a kidnapped girlfriend from a creepy mansion. The game revolves around solving puzzles and utilizing each kid's unique skill set. It's incredible creative, pretty damned funny, and almost impossible for a feeble brain like mine. My buddy Daniel grew up horsing around in mansions as well, and he gives me a call this week to talk about one of the most iconic retro PC games ever made. We had a great time laughing about how tough some of these puzzles were, and dunking on Jeff because the poor guy is as useless as I am. And before we put stuff in microwaves, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone talks about discovering the greatness that is the GBA. A listener corners me over something I said back on RTG #157. And is PS Plus Premium worth it?? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 point and click classics: Sam & Max Hit The Road, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and The Secret of Monkey Island. Learn more about your ad choices.

But these days, I'm a fan of both. And they go together like peanut butter and chocolate with Castlevania Bloodlines, which is now one of my favourite Genesis games! I've really grown to appreciate the Castlevania series, and for my money, these games are at their peak on 16-bit hardware. It's safe to say that Super Castlevania IV and Bloodlines are now my favourite Vania games. This one looks great, plays great, and of course, it's tough; just the way I like my retro titles. Ye olde Bradley McCue returns to the show this week, both to talk about how much he loves this game, and to try to explain the story to me, because I'm absolutely fucking lost. Great game, killer guest, mediocre podcast. Why WOULDN'T you listen?! And before we hunt vampires or something, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks for advice with some rare items in their game collection. Will we ever cover PS4/XBox One games on RTG? And with all these layoffs, is the video game market crashing?? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Konami Genesis titles: Rocket Knight Adventures, Contra: Hard Corps, and Sunset Riders.

My name is Al and we’re here today to talk about Cottagecore Games. Welcome back Bev. It’s been a while I think since we’ve been on an episode together. (0:00:36) Bev: And my name is Bev. (0:00:42) Bev: Woo! (0:00:48) Bev: It has. It has. (0:00:50) Bev: And I have a lot of regrets about missing the last one we were supposed to be on together because I want to hold a mutiny and re-change the results of the year of… (0:01:02) Bev: game, you’re in gaming? What? Oh goodness. (0:01:06) Al: year in farming games. Game of the farming year. Game of the year. Whatever. Yeah. You abandoned me to the haters. (0:01:06) Bev: There we go. Those are the words. I know. (0:01:18) Al: There was nothing I could do. (0:01:19) Bev: No, no. I fully want to vote in a new system where we vote. So this can’t have (0:01:26) Al: Well, so I mean, so here’s an interesting thing, right? (0:01:33) Al: We could do something where we allow all people who have been on an episode in that year to put in their options, and if there’s a clear winner, then that one wins. (0:01:40) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:01:42) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:01:46) Al: I don’t think Coral Island still would have won because, like, I don’t think Johnny was into it by then. (0:01:52) Bev: I don’t know well I think so cuz I recall it when I came on and was complaining about the results I think both Cody and Johnny were like yeah this is game of the year oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Mm-hmm (0:01:56) Al: Well, how do you already played it by then? (0:02:08) Al: OK, so that probably three votes would have probably been anything else realistically, (0:02:14) Al: because there are there are more than six of us who have been on episodes last year, but (0:02:20) Al: would there have been three to vote for anything else? I don’t know. We’ll have a think about it. (0:02:23) Bev: I don’t know. (0:02:28) Bev: We got plenty of time. (0:02:29) Al: We’ve got nine months to think about this, right? So I think we can think up something to stop. (0:02:35) Bev: Yes, for sure. (0:02:35) Al: Stop Cara Island losing again. (0:02:38) Al: Uh, they just need, they just need to do an update, a massive update, right? (0:02:38) Bev: We’ll find a way somehow to get it back into the rankings. (0:02:43) Bev: Into the eligibility criteria. (0:02:45) Bev: I don’t know how, but I’m sure we’ll figure it out. (0:02:48) Bev: We have nine months. (0:02:50) Bev: Yes. (0:02:52) Bev: Yes, they do, which, considering how Stardew is operating, it’s very possible that they might have huge updates moving forward. (0:03:02) Al: I suspect it’s more likely to do DLC than a free update. The free updates that Stardew are doing, (0:03:09) Al: I think, are pretty rare. (0:03:12) Bev: Well, thus far they’ve only done DLCs for charity, as far as I can recall. (0:03:17) Al: Yeah. But the 1.0 only came out in November, so you know, it’s not… (0:03:23) Bev: I don’t know I would still count it, but it still counts even if if you have to pay I will pay it. (0:03:29) Al: Yeah, my point is just that we just we haven’t had any information about upcoming updates for Carl Eylon, so we don’t know. In fact, I’ve not looked. (0:03:44) Bev: Ooo. (0:03:46) Bev: ‘Cause it’s been a few months since they’ve come out. (0:03:46) Al: Oh yeah, it’s basically just the merefolk stuff that they haven’t done, and multiplayer. (0:03:50) Bev: Okay. (0:03:52) Bev: Okay. (0:03:56) Bev: I feel like we could probably have a whole episode like speculating, like what could we add to make this better? (0:04:02) Al: Ooh, good plan. (0:04:02) Bev: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. (0:04:02) Al: Let’s add that to the list before I forget. (0:04:05) Bev: And then that will therefore make it eligible, right? (0:04:09) Bev: ‘Cause we have an episode about it. (0:04:12) Al: I changed that a long time ago because like when we started doing, I mean the only game that’s I think one out of its release year is Spiritfarer and that did come out in November I think of the previous year. So I think that was a fair, like if it comes out in November or December then I think it’s fair to count it for the next year. But yeah I did in the first year we did include games that we had just covered, but that was the first year. (0:04:12) Bev: Oh You (0:04:22) Bev: - Yeah. (0:04:42) Al: And also there were like four games that came out that year. (0:04:46) Al: So very different, I feel. (0:04:46) Bev: Okay, so November-December is what she said. We have a recording. (0:04:52) Bev: 1.0 came out November 14th, so, therefore, there you go. (0:04:59) Bev: I don’t need nine months. I already have a reason to include it for next year, or this year. (0:05:06) Al: Anyway. (0:05:07) Bev: Did I tell you I applied for a law school? (0:05:09) Al: » [LAUGH] (0:05:11) Bev: I’m already putting those skills to practice. (0:05:12) Al: No, you didn’t, you didn’t actually, but yeah, fair enough putting, yeah, getting in some, (0:05:16) Al: getting in some practice there, uh, transcripts are available for the podcast and the show notes and on the website. Uh, I don’t know why I say that because if you’re listening, (0:05:27) Al: you’re listening, right? Like, I don’t know, whatever. Um, we’re going to talk today about Acre. This episode was originally meant to be January of- (0:05:40) Bev: January of 2020. And then we were like, “Oh no, can’t do that one.” And then… It’ll mean a year. (0:05:42) Al: 2023. Uh, we actually had it scheduled in as well. We had it scheduled in as an episode and then we were like, Oh no, can’t do that one. And then that, yeah, it has been a year. (0:05:57) Bev: And then we were like, “Oh no, I can’t do that one.” And then we were like, “Oh no, I can’t do that one.” (0:05:57) Al: So we’re going to talk about Acre. It has been out now for over a year. I think it was December 22 that it came out. Um, so we’re finally getting to it. We’re going to talk about that. Before that, we obviously have some news. (0:06:01) Bev: And then we were like, “Oh no, I can’t do that one.” And then we were like, “Oh no, I can’t do that one.” (0:06:03) Bev: And then we were like, “Oh no, I can’t do that one.” And then we were like, “Oh no, I can’t do that one.” (0:06:07) Bev: And then we were like, “Oh no, I can’t do that one.” And then we were like, “Oh no, I can’t do that one.” (0:06:10) Bev: I have mostly been playing Twisted Wonderland, which I think I might have mentioned it with Johnny when I was on last time, but it’s a mobile gacha game. (0:06:12) Al: Uh, first of all though, Bev, what have you been up to? (0:06:26) Bev: But it’s out of Disney Japan, and it is licensed by Disney, so it is an official Disney product. (0:06:32) Bev: But it’s very similar, I think, to Pokemon Masters in that you have the whole character system, and they have different variations of the characters. (0:06:40) Bev: And there’s storylines, it’s a little bit more lore-centric than Pokemon Masters, because I feel like the dialogue doesn’t really matter in Pokemon Masters, unless I don’t read it. (0:06:52) Al: I think it depends who you are whether you (0:06:52) Bev: There’s too much of it. But yeah, at some point I would like to think that I would go back to read some of it, because some of it was entertaining. (0:07:04) Bev: I think more so the character specific one is not the actual like main (0:07:10) Bev: Story challenge (0:07:12) Bev: But yeah Twisted Wonderland is just a bunch of beautiful (0:07:18) Bev: Anime boys going to school and they’re based off of the Disney villains. So there’s a different house for each (0:07:26) Bev: Seven different Disney villains specifically (0:07:28) Bev: Now I don’t want to list them all just google it. It’s fun. It’s cute. I’m really into it I went to katsukan over the weekend and bought a whole bunch of birch (0:07:40) Bev: to this I (0:07:42) Bev: Was playing core island prior I think to my weekend of Twisted Wonderland and the anime convention of the weekend (0:07:49) Bev: But that has since fallen off (0:07:52) Bev: since coming back (0:07:56) Bev: But yeah (0:07:57) Al: This is very weird. This feels like fanfiction. (0:07:59) Bev: Is it it yeah, yeah, maybe that’s why I like it (0:08:07) Bev: It very much feels… (0:08:10) Bev: …not like that. Because they’re original characters and they’re not the actual Disney villain. They just reference them and clearly some of them are based off of the Disney villain itself. (0:08:18) Bev: But yeah, I’ve since started reading the animation about the Disneyland so… It’s on par. (0:08:28) Al: It’s really weird, but I’m not here to judge each to their own. (0:08:34) Bev: No. Don’t knock it till you try it. Don’t download it. Johnny was very interested at some point. (0:08:39) Al: I will not play. (0:08:40) Bev: It is a gacha game, so it’s… yeah. (0:08:43) Al: I will not play. (0:08:45) Al: I’m going to be honest with you, I’m not going to do it, but (0:08:49) Al: I certainly, yeah, I certainly won’t be judging. (0:08:55) Al: I feel like it says a lot that on the (0:08:58) Al: wiki for it like they all have their their star sign listed it’s like I feel like that says a lot about the game oh one of them has the same birthday as me Riddle Rose Heart (0:09:00) Bev: oh interesting interesting okay which is oh yeah I don’t know I like it I think the arts very pretty I got into cosplay over the weekend because of the anime convention so I want to cause (0:09:30) Bev: some of these characters and I’ve started trying a dabbling at digital art to see if I can make art about these characters and other fandoms now that I’m dabbling into it but yeah I’ve been enjoying it a lot. So what have you been (0:09:46) Al: Fair enough. (0:09:53) Al: Not a huge amount. (0:09:54) Al: So I was in L.A. last weekend for Sinotour, so I didn’t. (0:09:59) Bev: All right, how was that? (0:10:01) Al: It was really good. (0:10:03) Al: It has reminded me that I do not like being in cars. (0:10:09) Al: And there’s a lot of cars there. (0:10:10) Bev: especially in L.A. (0:10:14) Al: Yeah, we were driving to Disney. (0:10:16) Al: Disney downtown and it was meant to take an hour and I ended up taking two and a half hours (0:10:23) Al: Two and a half hours (0:10:25) Bev: That sounds about right. I’ve only been there once. I know, but that does sound accurate, I think, for L.A. (0:10:32) Al: And my boss from the airport into Union Station was meant to take like half an hour and ended up taking like an hour and 15, it’s just like oh my word, everything dreadful. (0:10:42) Bev: Oh (0:10:45) Al: But I had fun, yeah it was good. (0:10:50) Al: It’s the sort of thing I could see myself doing again, maybe not L.A., maybe somewhere else. But yeah, I could absolutely see myself doing something like that again. (0:10:54) Bev: Mm-hmm (0:11:03) Al: It was, it was good fun. (0:11:04) Bev: Okay, so you’ve been playing Pokemon Go in other words [laughter] (0:11:07) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:11:10) Bev: Obviously, I’ve been playing Hakka. (0:11:10) Al: Obviously I’ve been playing Akka, probably not as much as I probably should to cover it, but it’s fine. (0:11:18) Al: I have, I have opinions anyway. (0:11:20) Bev: Mm-hmm. We have enough. (0:11:22) Al: Enough opinions. (0:11:24) Al: And what else? (0:11:32) Bev: added back in later. Make a note to future Al. (0:11:35) Al: Yeah, maybe. Maybe, maybe. Anyway, my brain is dead because I’m still jet lagged. So we’ll continue from there. Yeah, that’s probably about all I’ve been playing. Oh, Pokémon. (0:11:49) Al: It’s Scarlet and Violet. I’ve been doing the outbreaks, the outbreaks. (0:11:52) Bev: Okay, oh the shiny hunting (0:11:56) Bev: Mm-hmm. I probably should pick that up because I want those Pokemon, but (0:12:02) Bev: It feels like work (0:12:02) Al: They’re good shiny rates, good shiny rates. (0:12:04) Al: I got my first one in like 10 minutes, so it feels good. (0:12:07) Bev: Okay (0:12:09) Bev: Remind me which of the three are is it the pokeball ones? (0:12:14) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it’s Voltorb, Pisulian Voltorb, and Fungus. Fungus. Fungus. (0:12:21) Bev: Okay, so it does only have the one involution. (0:12:25) Bev: So that’s doable, unlike flabébé. (0:12:25) Al: Yeah, that’s true. So it’s a total of six if you don’t have any of them. Oh, I know. (0:12:31) Al: Flabé. Getting the 15 Flabé. It was dreadful. I did it. I got them all. But my word, that was a lot of work. I’m so glad those were around for two weeks or whatever it was. (0:12:34) Bev: It was a lot. (0:12:35) Bev: Yep. (0:12:40) Bev: Right, they knew, they had to be more than a weekend ‘cause it would have been impossible. (0:12:41) Al: Mm-hmm. Yeah. (0:12:44) Al: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn’t, I had, I was, I wasn’t, I wasn’t doing well. Sorry. I was like, I’m done. I’m done with all these flow, baby. I’m done. (0:12:45) Bev: Same thing with Missouri. (0:12:46) Bev: So. (0:12:51) Bev: » I’m done with. (0:12:53) Bev: » [LAUGH] (0:12:55) Al: Cool. Let’s talk about some news. So first up, we have some release dates. Distantbloom have said that their launch is the 27th of March. That is my wife’s birthday. So yeah, (0:13:12) Al: This one is based on (0:13:14) Al: Alien Planet and I think it’s like a “make the world better” type game. Yeah harness the power of plants to restore the environment and build a flourishing community with your crew mates. (0:13:19) Bev: Ooh, that’s what it looks like. (0:13:26) Al: Yeah so it looks all right. I don’t know if I’ll be playing this one. I need to think about it more. Maybe I will. Maybe I will. (0:13:36) Bev: I don’t know either. It’s very cute. It’s been on my wish list for a while. I do generally like making the world a better place, especially environmentally. (0:13:42) Bev: And I’m not tied into any, I’m like ADHD with my game so I’m just picking them and dropping them immediately. So maybe I will pick this up. We’ll see. (0:13:54) Al: Yeah, we’ll see. Maybe we’ll both be back in a month for that. Well, not a month, because it won’t be out yet, and we need at least a week, I think, to play a game. (0:13:58) Bev: Maybe. (0:14:00) Bev: Maybe. (0:14:06) Bev: » Right, hopefully. (0:14:11) Al: The ADHD fun, of course, is that it’s really hard to get into it in the first place, and then once you’re finally into it, you obsess over it and nothing else exists, and then suddenly one day you decide you’re not playing it, or your brain decides you’re not playing it again. (0:14:16) Bev: Right, right, yep, it, yep, exactly, um, that’s with me, like, with drawing right now, it’s, (0:14:24) Al: And you never, you never touch it again. Am I right? Is that, that about how it goes for you? (0:14:34) Bev: I’m hyper focusing on it for the past week, like, all my free time has been going into it, so it was a struggle to put it down so I could play for the episode, um, so we’ll see. (0:14:44) Al: Yeah. (0:14:46) Bev: It’s, I’m maybe, we’ll see, but it takes work and effort and time and if you’re not enjoying it, then what’s the point? There’s not enough time, so do something that you actually enjoy. (0:14:47) Al: I did four weeks of drawing like three years ago. (0:14:52) Al: That’s not one. That’s not one I think I’ll ever pick up again. (0:14:55) Al: It’s. (0:14:58) Al: I was not good at it. (0:15:02) Al: I know. I know. I know. You get better. (0:15:04) Al: You get better if you actually try blah, blah, blah. But no, I’m not. (0:15:08) Al: It does. (0:15:10) Al: Exactly. (0:15:12) Al: Exactly. (0:15:16) Al: » Speaking of doing something you enjoy. (0:15:20) Al: Palia is coming to Steam on the 25th of March. (0:15:22) Bev: Whoo (0:15:24) Al: So if you’ve been really wanting it on your Steam Deck and you can’t be bothered getting stuff there from other random sites and getting the game that way. (0:15:33) Al: Or if you just for some reason want all your games in Steam, (0:15:36) Al: I guess achievements and stuff like that, that might be why you would want to do it. (0:15:37) Bev: Beautiful. (0:15:40) Al: That is coming out two days before. (0:15:44) Bev: I will probably be downloading it. (0:15:47) Bev: I already have it on my Steam deck, but for other reasons, I’ll probably get it on the Steam. (0:15:53) Bev: And that will probably be where I play it, because it theoretically will be easier to hook up a keyboard if I want it to be social and talk to people, which sometimes I do. (0:16:02) Al: fair. Fair, fair. Is this game, like, because I feel like when they first announced it, (0:16:05) Bev: I don’t. (0:16:14) Al: it was, they’d called it early access, but I’ve never seen them use the term since, and it was obviously not on Steam till now, and now it’s on Switch. Like, do you think they’re just avoiding that term now, or do you think it is officially not early access? (0:16:22) Bev: I feel like it still is because it’s still not 1.0 in terms of like the patch notes and whatnot so they might just be I think you’re right that they’re avoiding it for marketing reasons because it’s on all these platforms and generally (0:16:46) Al: It’s just it’s just a dream like valley. That is the only one [laugh] (0:16:50) Bev: So maybe that’s a new route we’re moving forward with all these games that you’re supposed to play a little bit every day, like Animal Crossing, that you just play a little bit every day and therefore it’s in early access so that you can start fixing these bugs early on. (0:17:09) Bev: I don’t know. (0:17:10) Al: Why should I play this game, Bev? Try and convince me. (0:17:14) Bev: I really enjoy it. (0:17:17) Bev: Can you say? Yes! (0:17:18) Al: Okay, good start. (0:17:20) Bev: I really enjoy it, and this is why you should play, but that’s the only reason. (0:17:24) Bev: I enjoy the art style. I think they’ve done a lot of quality of life improvements in terms of kind of like their chest system, their storage system is all like conclusive. (0:17:42) Bev: You need to buy additional chests to expand it, but you aren’t restricted to only putting items in. (0:17:50) Bev: I’m still a little confused about the MMO part of it. (0:17:51) Al: Yeah, I like that. I heard that on the episode that Johnny and Cody, I think it was, did. (0:17:58) Al: I really like that idea. I think all games should do that now. I think we’re past the days of finite individual storage. It’s all right. I’m sure we’ll have stuff today to talk about that with Akka. (0:18:18) Bev: I kind of want to. (0:18:20) Bev: That’s why I mentioned like hooking up a keyboard so I can try to, you know, chat a little bit more make it play a little bit more friendly, I suppose, and like announcing like here’s the glowing tree over here, like, let’s all meet in 13 minutes or whatever. (0:18:38) Bev: But I do like that there’s no drawback to people playing together in the same space like you just get bonuses or buffs. (0:18:50) Bev: The game itself kind of encourages you to play with people and I do enjoy that they have events but they don’t seem as like intensive as other like mobile or other like free to play games like I’m looking at you, Disney Dreamlight Valley that required me to put in a lot of effort for your last event and I will probably do the same with the next one. (0:19:16) Bev: So I don’t know it I like the work (0:19:20) Bev: I like the the premise behind it I like the like final like the fake like the fantasy component to it so there’s there’s a lot of aspects of it that I do like and the farming is not bad either like the tool system it’s on your your pocket so it’s already better in that sense I don’t love that there’s a specific order you should be planting your crops in because they give benefits or non to like the it’s (0:19:50) Bev: they’re not negative effects but the fact that I have to Google and save an image on my phone to know how to plant things which I rain but I can’t I can’t not if I know mm-hmm I have a spreadsheet (0:19:57) Al: Yeah, yeah, OK. I can see how that’d be a bit frustrating, but… (0:20:01) Al: I mean, if you’re not min-maxing things, then you can probably just ignore it, but… (0:20:07) Al: I mean, yeah, and I’m the person that sits with a spreadsheet for Stardew, so… (0:20:16) Al: I don’t think I know what not min-maxing is. (0:20:20) Bev: I have an app for stardew I have a spreadsheet fruit and blood so mm-hmm I made it myself so [laughs] (0:20:25) Al: Oh, a spreadsheet for Ooblet’s my word! (0:20:27) Al: That’s a level above why, like with Ooblet’s, I didn’t farm an Ooblet’s to min-max anything, (0:20:37) Al: I farmed to get the stuff that I needed rather than anything else, whereas with Stardew, my goal was (0:20:44) Al: become as rich as possible. My goal with Ooblet’s was finish the story. So… (0:20:46) Bev: Oh, so you’re using it for like analyses, like purposes for like, like economics. (0:20:54) Bev: I’m using it for got to collect them all. (0:20:55) Al: Yeah. (0:20:58) Al: No, yeah, yeah, I forgot that you’re on that task of trying to get everything in Stardew. (0:21:00) Bev: Oh. (0:21:02) Bev: Oh. (0:21:06) Al: Yeah, no, I feel like my brain won’t ever let me get to that point with Stardew. (0:21:15) Al: Like there has to be a point where once my brain says, “Okay, you’re done with this. I need to be at like 75%. If I’m lower than 75%, I won’t have the enthusiasm.” (0:21:27) Al: To finish it, if I’m at 75 or over, I’ll be like, “Oh, yeah, well, yeah, that’s just another third of what I’ve done. That’s fine. I can do that.” So, yeah. (0:21:28) Bev: Mmm. (0:21:35) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:21:38) Bev: You know, Pokemon has trained me very well, um, but hasn’t trained me to the point of like completion, actual completion. (0:21:45) Bev: So it fell a little short because everything is just like, I hit 75 and now I’m exhausted. (0:21:52) Bev: I will pick this up two years from now and try again. (0:21:57) Al: Yeah, but the problem then is you start again. (0:22:00) Bev: I’ve been trying to do less of that. (0:22:02) Bev: If I pick up a game that I put down, (0:22:04) Bev: I will make the effort of trying to refamiliarize myself with all the controls so that I don’t keep doing it. (0:22:15) Al: well, we’ll see what happens when the next stardew update comes out and see what you do. (0:22:19) Bev: Super super perfect perfection. Mm-hmm (0:22:22) Al: We haven’t scheduled who’s doing that one yet, have we? (0:22:25) Bev: Well, we don’t have a date for that yet (0:22:27) Al: No, I know. That doesn’t mean we can’t decide who’s doing it. (0:22:31) Al: I mean, realistically, it’s coming out this year. So, you know, it’s gonna happen. (0:22:37) Bev: we’ll see I wouldn’t be surprised 2025 it’s a nice like i’m pretty sure he said well well (0:22:40) Al: I’m pretty sure he said it’s coming out this year. (0:22:46) Al: » Like he said, the words definitely, which is obviously a dangerous thing to say, but he seems pretty confident. I think he said he’s implemented all the features and now he’s on bug-squashing. We’ll see. Maybe it’ll be out in November. Research Story have their one-year anniversary update. You did research- (0:22:50) Bev: okay it is very dangerous okay (0:22:58) Bev: okay then yeah it’s probably coming this year okay - Okay. (0:23:10) Bev: Mm-hmm. Yes. I that was also another game that I had a lot of fun playing and then put it down (0:23:16) Al: Fair enough. Well, you’ll probably end up picking it up when it gets to 1.0, which it’s not at yet. So they had hoped to get 1.0 around now, but I will quote “The scope of the game grew and it will take a bit longer to get ready.” While I work on larger content updates, here’s an anniversary update that has some of the common player requested quality of life features. (0:23:17) Bev: But I would like to get back in (0:23:22) Bev: Yeah (0:23:38) Bev: Oh, yay! (0:23:40) Al: So it has things such as a random name generator for creatures, which is something I very much (0:23:42) Bev: Oh, oh. (0:23:44) Bev: Yes. (0:23:46) Al: enjoy. No game should ever make you name something and not give you a generator. It’s just dreadful. (0:23:46) Bev: No. (0:23:48) Bev: No. (0:23:53) Al: A move button for creature pens, a shoulder bag, which gives you an additional eight slots in the (0:23:54) Bev: Amazing. (0:24:01) Al: inventory, an iron chest, which is larger than a normal chest, item signs, paths, (0:24:11) Al: and other stuff like that. We don’t need to go into all of the really detailed stuff. (0:24:16) Al: The lists, the patch notes, whatever you want to call it, (0:24:21) Al: update notes, and the show notes, if you want to go and read that. Not just now, Bev. (0:24:28) Bev: I’m trying not to I love love all these improvements already so maybe maybe I will pick this up again after I could that would probably be the better yeah okay I’m closing it I’m closing it because I I still haven’t played core islands since the one point I was like I need to actually get into this yeah (0:24:37) Al: Come on, come on. You’ve got to wait. It feels like it’s going to be like another six months. (0:24:42) Al: You can wait six months for 1.0, right? Right? Surely, surely. Close the tab and you’ll forget about it. Oh, you need to. There’s loads of… Because especially as the 1.0, (0:24:58) Bev: Yeah, exactly. (0:24:58) Al: it clears out your save, but it gives you… You get the amount of money that you had. (0:25:04) Al: So the first part of that game. (0:25:07) Al: 1.0 is great because you have like a couple hundred thousand. (0:25:11) Al: Whatever you had at the last one, (0:25:13) Al: you can breeze through the first, the starting of that game. (0:25:15) Al: It’s great fun. (0:25:18) Bev: I don’t know what my money transferred over. (0:25:22) Al: Oh, no. (0:25:24) Al: Have you created a new save? (0:25:24) Bev: I’m gonna have to look at it again. (0:25:28) Bev: It’s fine, whatever. (0:25:29) Bev: Maybe, I might have, I don’t know. (0:25:29) Al: Have you done the thing where you created it on a different computer or something? (0:25:34) Bev: I don’t know, ‘cause it’s, we’ll see, we’ll see. (0:25:34) Al: Oh, babe. (0:25:37) Al: Oh, no. (0:25:38) Bev: If not, it’s fine, it’s fine. (0:25:40) Bev: Everything’s fine, I enjoy it. (0:25:42) Bev: I will make up my monies again, it won’t be hard. (0:25:46) Al: Disney Dreamlight Valley have a new update coming. (0:25:49) Al: This is the one that includes the name change update. (0:25:53) Al: So if you’re like me and you don’t have a name in the game, (0:25:57) Al: you better get it on the 28th of February. So that is the day this episode comes out. (0:26:05) Bev: Beautiful. (0:26:06) Al: This also is called the laugh floor update. So I bet you can you can guess what it’s about. Yes, that’s right. It’s monstrous. (0:26:11) Bev: Mm hmm. (0:26:13) Bev: Guess. (0:26:16) Al: I think. (0:26:24) Bev: What? (0:26:25) Bev: That you can wear? (0:26:30) Bev: I would, I can’t tell if I am excited or not cuz it’s like it’s gonna be clunky, but also it’s fun. (0:26:37) Al: Yeah, it makes the armour noise as you walk, like it’s all in there. (0:26:44) Bev: Oh no, okay, no, I’m not excited for that. (0:26:50) Al: Lens Island have two updates upcoming. (0:26:55) Al: The community update is coming out next month in March. (0:26:59) Al: That combines the most requested ideas and feedback from the Lens Island community into one game-changing update. (0:27:07) Al: is camera control. Camera control is some more languages, that’s about it. I mean, (0:27:16) Al: they’re good updates, but yeah, it’s not a humongous update. I suspect that, well, OK, (0:27:17) Bev: Oh. (0:27:24) Al: when I say humongous, obviously adding in a moveable camera into your game is a pretty big behind-the-scenes update, but from what people see, it is like a single bullet-pot. (0:27:38) Al: Right, that’s the problem with these. (0:27:38) Bev: There’s this new starter guide that’s maybe a quality of life improvement. (0:27:44) Bev: I forget how hard it was to start the game. (0:27:47) Bev: I feel like I didn’t need it, but maybe it is a little bit. (0:27:51) Al: Yeah, I mean, it’s good giving more people opportunities to understand things better. (0:27:59) Al: But they’ve also got the Arctic update coming in April, and this includes new biomes. (0:28:04) Al: They say the new map expansion doubles the size of the map. (0:28:11) Al: So that’s pretty big. (0:28:14) Bev: This was also another one, unsurprisingly, that I picked up and played forever, and then dropped. (0:28:18) Al: Are there any games you haven’t played, Bev? (0:28:20) Bev: So maybe after April I will pick it up again. (0:28:26) Bev: No? I mean, yes, but… (0:28:32) Bev: Hey, I was trying to do my due diligence when I do the year in gaming to at least have tried most of them, (0:28:38) Al: That’s fair. (0:28:40) Bev: although it’s getting a lot harder to do that now that there’s so many games. (0:28:44) Bev: I love it, I hate it at the same time, but here we are. (0:28:50) Al: here we are. Yep, so there’s some more detailed notes in the show notes, but there’s not full notes yet. We’ll get more as we come. There’s a little video giving some visual information to that as well. The camera control looks pretty nice. It looks pretty smooth and yeah, cool. (0:29:14) Al: Finally, we’ve before, well, not finally, we’ve got two new games that we’ve got to talk about, (0:29:18) Al: but finally of the existing game. (0:29:20) Al: We have a little bit of transparency from Spells and Secrets, which is interesting, (0:29:26) Al: because they’ve said that the game has not been a set financial success. (0:29:30) Bev: Oh. (0:29:31) Al: And I think, obviously, it’s sad that they haven’t made their money on this game, (0:29:36) Bev: Yeah. (0:29:36) Bev: Oh. (0:29:37) Al: but I like how open they’re being about it. (0:29:42) Al: And I think more games should be more open about these things, (0:29:46) Al: Because I think it’s important for people to realize how difficult. (0:29:50) Al: It is to actually make a profitable game and getting information about this more often would probably help with that. (0:29:52) Bev: Right. (0:29:58) Al: And yeah, I think that’s good. (0:30:00) Al: So it’s sad I kick-started it. (0:30:04) Al: So I was not part of the problem. (0:30:04) Bev: okay because I can’t see the post it is for backers only which is an interesting choice but I suppose it would it is more relevant to those who have already financially supportive of it but I could make an argument for why it could also be beneficial for non-financial backers to read about it so that they could start finance support again (0:30:07) Al: Oh, is it locked? (0:30:09) Al: Is it locked down? (0:30:11) Al: Okay. (0:30:13) Al: Okay. (0:30:26) Al: Yeah. Yeah. Well, they have I’ve not signed an NDA or anything. So I’m sharing this information. (0:30:34) Bev: But interesting to like hear about like what specifically I talked about like was it just like the Kickstarter wasn’t because it it met its goal so I’m assuming it met its initial (0:30:48) Al: Yeah, the Kickstarter went pretty well, but yeah, it’s sales since launch that they’ve been disappointed with, and yeah, so a little bit sad, but… (0:30:58) Bev: - Okay. (0:31:04) Bev: So have they like said anything about moving forward or are they saying they– (0:31:08) Al: So they aren’t… (0:31:09) Al: Yeah, okay, that’s a good point, yes. (0:31:11) Al: So the way that I’m describing this could make it sound like they’ve now abandoned in the game. (0:31:18) Al: So let me find the wording. (0:31:20) Al: Okay, right, no, I had misread this before. (0:31:23) Al: No, the game’s done, basically, because of that. (0:31:26) Bev: Oh, okay. (0:31:27) Al: So they’ve said, “As a consequence of the poor sales, the development team have decided to close doors. (0:31:32) Al: The game will still receive some bug fixes, but feature development on the title won’t continue.” (0:31:38) Bev: So, like, I’m assuming they hit their 1.0 and they’ve already launched it and we can purchase it on Steam, uh, or wishlist it. (0:31:47) Al: can purchase it on Steam and Switch, and presumably you still can, but yeah it won’t get any more updates other than possibly some bug fixes but I wouldn’t rely on that. (0:31:50) Bev: Okay, but they just, they just won’t be it. (0:31:55) Bev: Okay. (0:31:59) Bev: Okay, well, I don’t think that’s a terrible thing to announce, like it’s, like, as fantastic as Stardew is with its free updates, (0:32:08) Bev: it’s not necessary for these indie, like, dev, like, game devs to be doing constant free updates because they’re, as you said, there’s a lot that goes into game development and adding additional content and having this expectation that, like, every single game needs to have, like, a certain quota of hours of content. (0:32:28) Al: Yeah, that’s fair. However, I would say, I believe the… I haven’t played the Switch version. I haven’t played either of them, actually. I have both. I have it on Steam and on Switch. I haven’t played either of them yet. But I believe the Switch version is not great. So that’s obviously not fantastic. Like, it’s got performance. (0:32:52) Bev: Well, that might be addressed via the bug fixes, so they might not just be completely advancing it. (0:32:58) Bev: It just sounds like they’re not doing new content. (0:33:00) Al: - Well, okay. (0:33:01) Bev: It’s also on PS5 as well. (0:33:02) Al: Yeah, so they’ve said, (0:33:03) Bev: Oh. (0:33:04) Al: I think they’re basically said they’re abandoning the switch version. (0:33:06) Al: They said, “In our last update, we mentioned we were looking for ways to improve the Nintendo Switch version. (0:33:11) Al: Unfortunately, after the new porting team evaluated the code, it became clear that a complete report would be necessary.” (0:33:16) Bev: Oh no, okay. (0:33:18) Al: They say which Nintendo does not support. (0:33:20) Al: That’s a bit of awkward wording. (0:33:22) Al: That’s not quite true. (0:33:23) Al: What they’re saying is there are certain things that they would be required to do to allow that. (0:33:29) Al: For example, (0:33:30) Al: you’re not allowed to have backwards incompatibility with your save files and they don’t want to have to deal with that, basically. So the work that they would have to put in to make the Switch version good enough is not worth it for them. (0:33:37) Bev: I have. (0:33:51) Bev: Mm-hmm. Okay. I’m wondering if they would be willing to kind of switch the keys then to give you the steam access if that’s kind of (0:33:58) Al: So I believe everybody who backed on Kickstarter got a Steamkey. (0:34:04) Bev: Okay. (0:34:06) Al: Obviously people who just bought it wouldn’t have, but yeah, I don’t know what they’re doing with that because obviously all the comments on Kickstarter are from Kickstarter people so they all have a Steamkey. (0:34:06) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:34:15) Bev: Mm-hmm (0:34:18) Bev: Okay, well so that I wonder if they’re gonna do something like more publicly then just kickstarter (0:34:25) Bev: But it looks like a really cute game. That’s a shame. I (0:34:29) Bev: Almost want to pick it up now (0:34:33) Bev: Another game to pick up now that I know that they’re struggling but (0:34:36) Al: Yeah, I mean, I don’t, I believe the Steam version is, is good. Like, I don’t, I don’t believe the Steam version is bad. I believe the Switch version is bad. (0:34:40) Bev: Okay (0:34:43) Bev: It’s also a rogue light which is interesting (0:34:48) Al: Maybe we need to play this game and cover it, Bev. (0:34:52) Bev: Okay, now I have a reason to buy another game. Um, that’s that’s fine (0:34:57) Bev: This is how I justify buying new games. Yes, I would love that. Let’s do it (0:35:03) Al: Okay, cool. Well, this is not a promise, listeners. I’m not saying we will definitely cover this game and it will definitely happen soon, but watch this space. So we also have two new games, (0:35:13) Bev: Ooh, indeed. (0:35:17) Al: one of which is a Kickstarter, of course. I am undecided on this one. Let’s talk about it. (0:35:23) Al: It’s called Galactic Getaway. Oh, so much to say. So first of all, they call it a cozy online space (0:35:26) Bev: Mmm (0:35:34) Al: and the subtitle on Kickstarter is “Hang out with friends in space, (0:35:37) Al: collect pets, and play minigames from the creators of Nookazon?” (0:35:43) Al: Nookazon was the… was that the Animal Crossing online marketplace? (0:35:44) Bev: Nookazan. (0:35:47) Bev: Yes, Amazon, but Nook, but for Animal Crossing, yes. (0:35:51) Al: Yeah, weird. It’s weird to go from, like, let’s make a website about Animal Crossing, (0:35:51) Bev: That’s fantastic, okay. (0:35:57) Al: where you can, you know, trade items to making a game. Well, I… (0:36:02) Bev: Well like Maybe they picked up like obviously they had to like pick up some skills if they didn’t already have skills for managing a website (0:36:03) Al: I’ll love it. (0:36:12) Al: Yeah, it’s not the same thing as a web developer. It is not the same thing. I don’t think I could just make a game (0:36:13) Bev: It’s not (0:36:19) Bev: Even an online game (0:36:22) Al: Well, it’s an online game, but it’s like on switch and stuff like that just makes it harder (0:36:24) Bev: It’s an MMO (0:36:28) Bev: Wait, are they are they advertising that’s gonna be on switches at it like a goal? (0:36:31) Al: They are they are coming to PC Mac and (0:36:32) Bev: Oh, okay. Well, there’s nothing stopping them from hiring people who will do the switch component of it. So it might be that I am I am. This is just my line of thinking of like, Oh, I did this. Now let’s do the next hardest thing. (0:36:42) Al: OK, no, I think you’re missing the point. I think you’re missing the point. OK. Yeah, (0:36:53) Al: it’s just an entirely different thing. OK, let’s talk about this game, because I don’t know why this is set in space. Nothing seems to be actually space about it, right? The only thing that seems to be space is that, like, there are more stars in the sky and You just happen to be on not earth, but everything about it screams. (0:37:12) Al: This is just earth, right? (0:37:15) Al: You’ve got, you’ve got farming. (0:37:16) Bev: It does (0:37:17) Al: You’ve got animals that are all just like standard human earth animals. (0:37:20) Bev: There’s a robot that looks like (0:37:24) Al: Oh, there’s a robot. (0:37:25) Al: We must be in space. (0:37:26) Bev: Well, maybe these animal NPCs are aliens from different planets (0:37:32) Bev: and I could see how some of the (0:37:38) Bev: mid like the equipment [laughing] (0:37:40) Al: Okay, there’s a couple of there’s a couple of animals that aren’t aren’t like standard animals there’s like some starfish looking thing and there’s a a cat with multiple tails but like most of them it’s like here’s a raccoon here’s a monkey with a banana on its head oh look it’s a chicken but it has a helmet on right like the animals are probably the most interesting thing about it but everything else is just like it’s just a farming life sim. (0:38:08) Bev: I suspect they’re using the galaxy component to have an in-game description for like world building essentially for how you’re able to island hop and animal crossing essentially. (0:38:24) Al: Oh, right. You’re going to different… you go to each other’s planets. Is that what it is? (0:38:26) Bev: So it’s you’re not island hopping, you’re planet hopping, yeah. (0:38:30) Al: Right, the most exciting thing that I see about this is the tank game. Have you seen (0:38:34) Bev: Ugh. (0:38:39) Bev: » I did, which looks like I’m thinking of like a Mario mini game. (0:38:47) Bev: » Yeah, yeah, that’s exactly what it looks like. (0:38:48) Al: Yeah. Yeah. That’s exactly what it looks like. I mean, this whole thing looks a little bit like a kind of Nintendo minigame, minigame filled game, which is not a bad thing. I’m not saying that. You know, it’s like there’s just one particular point where all the characters are running across a game that just a screen that looks exactly like a Wii Sports type (0:38:49) Bev: » Okay. (0:38:53) Bev: » Nintendo. » Oh, yeah, Nintendo-esque. (0:38:55) Bev: » Mini games, no games. (0:39:13) Bev: Is that why they’re calling it an MMO because of all these mini games that’s really realistically going to be the component other than maybe eight villagers on your island? (0:39:23) Bev: I don’t think they answered how that is going to work. (0:39:28) Bev: Multiplayer is hanging out so I think similar to Animal Crossing, it’s probably capped but I’m not entirely sure. (0:39:36) Bev: Decorating and mini games. (0:39:37) Bev: So you can decorate with people over, that’s different from Animal Crossing. (0:39:40) Al: - Yeah, I feel like maybe they don’t know what MMO means. (0:39:50) Bev: Or like the industry has taken MMO and made it into a different thing because it’s what does it stand for? Multiple (0:39:57) Bev: Multiple (0:40:02) Bev: Massively multiplayer online and yeah, I don’t (0:40:06) Al: There’s nothing massively about this. (0:40:08) Bev: As far as where where I don’t know if there is a cap Like there is an animal crossing that could be the distinction that you could have a thousand people on your planet at one time (0:40:18) Bev: Um, are you all? (0:40:20) Bev: All on the same planet, kind of, like, with polio, but that I don’t understand why it’s in space, um, there’s, we have a lot of questions. (0:40:28) Al: Yeah, I think this is the point, is we have a lot of questions that aren’t answered by the Kickstarter. (0:40:34) Bev: Right. (0:40:36) Al: They haven’t hit their goal yet, but I reckon they’ll hit it. (0:40:40) Al: They are £7,000 away. What is that in dollars? They’re $9,000 away. (0:40:46) Bev: 9,000. 8,500 give or so. (0:40:51) Al: Yeah. (0:40:51) Bev: So, well, they only have five days, so it could be hit or miss. (0:40:57) Al: They only have five days, but you make like half of your money in the first five days, (0:41:03) Al: and the other half in the last five days. You don’t make much in the middle. (0:41:09) Bev: Good point. (0:41:09) Al: Like people wait until the last minute to decide whether they’re doing it or not. (0:41:12) Bev: True, ‘cause like, can I wait until the next month when my new budget starts? (0:41:17) Al: Yeah, so Kick Track says they’re trending towards 98% of their goal. (0:41:24) Bev: Okay that’s terrifying uh huh uh-huh now I’m reminding myself so it does look cute and if it is Animal Crossing ask I will I’m sure enjoy it (0:41:25) Al: So that is uh… (0:41:27) Al: that’s a oh no and like if it gets to that point I’m going to back it just to make it a success right like I can’t see this fail on my watch. (0:41:44) Al: Click the button on Kickstarter because it has the little button that will warn you when there’s two days to go and then it’ll warn you when there’s eight hours to go. They’re very good at making sure it’s perfect for it must there must be an ADHD person on the team right because (0:41:48) Bev: yep yep (0:41:57) Al: perfect for like oh by the way remember about this game and then the next day hey this game it is like this is your literal last chance click the button (0:42:07) Bev: Yep, and indeed, cuz they spend several times sort of like, I’m gonna pack it. (0:42:11) Bev: And then I forget, so yeah, for sure. (0:42:16) Al: so I guess we’ll see yeah I just it feels like it’s just it’s in space because they wanted to be in space and not because they’ve actually got some interesting ideas as to what being in space (0:42:27) Al: but (0:42:29) Bev: I mean, I look at dayland and that was technically in space and like there is some travel. (0:42:34) Al: what no no no no no no no no no no because right dalind worked like I don’t think it could have not been in space because the whole point was you were on your entire you were it was a really small planet exactly so it couldn’t be earth we know it couldn’t be earth so it had to be some random other planet. Like, it didn’t make any sense. (0:42:46) Bev: It’s a really small planet. (0:42:54) Bev: But like, it could just be a really small Earth. (0:42:57) Bev: Like, what is the point of it being in space if you can’t do a star field level exploration? (0:43:00) Al: Well, to be– Well, everything’s in space. (0:43:07) Bev: Like, what is the point of spacey games? (0:43:09) Bev: Like, is it to travel to other places? (0:43:12) Bev: ‘Cause if that’s the point of it, (0:43:16) Bev: they will probably hit it with traveling to other quote-unquote islands. (0:43:20) Bev: If it’s to do space exploration, then no, probably not. (0:43:25) Al: I guess my point is, right, like, Dehland was like, “This is you taking care of a tiny planet.” (0:43:31) Al: Like, that’s what they said. (0:43:32) Al: It wasn’t like this is a space exploration game, right? (0:43:35) Al: This is a game where you’re running a tiny planet. (0:43:41) Al: And this is like, “Oh, hey, this is a farming simulator in space.” (0:43:46) Al: And it’s like, “But what does that even mean?” (0:43:48) Al: Like there has to be a point to say it’s in space, right? (0:43:53) Al: like everything’s in space, as we’ve pointed out. (0:43:55) Bev: I feel like we’re getting into the realm of, like, philosophical questions, like, what is the point of a cottagecore game, Elle? (0:43:55) Al: Right. (0:44:01) Bev: Like, what is– what is it that makes it cottagecore? (0:44:04) Bev: Like, why does it have to be in space? Why is it on– it has to be– [laughs] (0:44:11) Bev: Like, I– it’s a setting, and I think that is valid by itself, (0:44:17) Bev: even though it would be more interesting if they had other components that built it into the world more, rather than– (0:44:25) Bev: other than it just existing in space. [laughs] (0:44:29) Al: Okay, fine. I’ll give you that one. So in the comments, they say your planet will have its own code for you to share or not share with friends. Your planet is your own personal space to enjoy so that we know random users running around. So it’s it’s not an MMO. (0:44:46) Bev: It’s in space so that Nintendo doesn’t see them for using an island. (0:44:49) Al: Oh, so the game. I need I need more answers to this question because I’m not sure. So (0:44:59) Al: the game is always online regardless if you play with other players. Does that mean you cannot play it if you can’t (0:45:08) Bev: Probably. (0:45:09) Bev: Poly can’t play if you’re not connected to the internet, (0:45:12) Bev: if I recall correctly. (0:45:15) Bev: And that is also an MMO. (0:45:16) Bev: So maybe that is now what is the definition of an MMO. (0:45:19) Al: Yeah, I don’t I don’t like that. Because if you’re not if like, if I like, I get if it’s a game like the whole point is you’re being online and and you’re playing with other people and you’re playing in like a combined world, right? That’s fine. I get why that has to be always online. But if I have my own space, and I can do stuff in that space without ever actually playing with anybody else. Don’t make me be online for that. (0:45:20) Bev: It has to be online. (0:45:23) Bev: Yeah. (0:45:26) Bev: If you’re just playing by yourself. (0:45:47) Bev: - Then don’t play this game. (0:45:48) Bev: Go play Animal Craft. (0:45:49) Al: Well, I need to find out whether that’s the case or not, right? Because yeah, you’re right. (0:45:55) Al: If that’s what this is, I’m probably not going to back it. The FAQ doesn’t say anything about that. I’ve checked. I’m going to I’m going to tweet them. I will do that not while we’re, (0:45:58) Bev: - Uh-huh. (0:46:00) Bev: I wonder what the FAQs are. (0:46:04) Bev: Well, you just got to submit a new question. (0:46:10) Bev: Do it. (0:46:13) Al: you know, podcasting though. The other new game (0:46:13) Bev: » [LAUGH] (0:46:19) Al: is plan tabby plan to be plant. How would you plan to be? plan to be little garden plan to be is a chill sandbox game where you take care of adorable plants and design the cozy little garden of your dreams. I feel like it is what it says on the tin, right? You’ve got a little a little ins indoor garden, like a kind of it looks like there’s various different rooms that you can use and you choose (0:46:24) Bev: “Plant to me” sounds right. (0:46:46) Bev: Yeah. (0:46:49) Al: you put a plant down and presumably you have to like water it and feed it and take care of it and put it in the right place and it needs to have the right amount of sun. I mean it’s basically like (0:47:00) Bev: Okay, I (0:47:04) Bev: Love the concept of these games, but I’m just decision fatigued (0:47:10) Bev: So I would love to play this if everything had a place if I if there was a setting where I could just like I don’t Want to design anything. I just want to make things look pretty. Please make it pretty for me, but let me like (0:47:20) Bev: work at it (0:47:23) Bev: Like you do all the decision-heavy work I just get as I put in all the the labor to me to get what it needs (0:47:31) Bev: I don’t even know words. Um, but you know what I’m saying. I don’t (0:47:34) Al: I know what you’re saying, I know what you’re saying. (0:47:39) Bev: Like I I’m finding myself just moving away from these games that require like designing and decisions like (0:47:45) Bev: Disney dream valley. I don’t want to figure out where all the houses go because there’s too many houses (0:47:51) Al: Yeah. (0:47:51) Bev: Why isn’t there a setting where I could just be like this is where mickey mouse belongs. Please just put him in there put him there (0:47:56) Al: Yeah, I agree. Bad example, because I’m pretty sure that he comes, his house is there when you start the game. (0:48:02) Al: You don’t have to choose where his house goes, but fair point. (0:48:04) Bev: Yes. Yes. (0:48:07) Al: Like he’s literally one of the four characters you start with, Bev. (0:48:10) Bev: That’s why I don’t remember! (0:48:14) Bev: But everyone knows who Mickey Mouse is, so… (0:48:16) Al: Yes, yes. It’s a fair point, I agree. (0:48:16) Bev: The point stamps. (0:48:21) Al: Anyway. So those are the two new games. Links to them, of course, will be in the show notes, (0:48:28) Al: along with everything else that we’ve talked about. (0:48:31) Al: So whenever we’re going to talk about Akka… (0:48:34) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:48:35) Al: So let’s see if I can describe this, see what you think of my description of this game. (0:48:41) Al: You are a red panda who fought in the war. The war. (0:48:48) Bev: a war just or the war mm-hmm (0:48:51) Al: They call it “The War”. They keep calling it “The War”. (0:48:55) Al: But I hope you don’t want to know about the war, because you’re not going to find out about the war. (0:49:01) Al: And you have a katana? That was your fighting implement? Your weapon? That’s the word “weapon”. (0:49:06) Bev: Yes. (0:49:08) Al: Fighting implement, oh my word. We’ve got a title there, fighting implement. (0:49:16) Al: And you have come to an island to help clean up a society. (0:49:21) Al: A society that has been ravaged by the war. (0:49:26) Al: And you do that by quests and, you know, cleaning up traps and farming and doing quests for people. (0:49:37) Bev: Yes, I think so.

Especially with horde members joining the alliance side. The new zone is exciting and interesting. We're all looking forward to season two officially kicking off on this coming Tuesday, which will bring the opening of the new raid on all difficulties (including the first wing of LFR) as well as the new mythic+ dungeons. The new upgrade system, although seemingly convoluted, is actually pretty neat and fun to experiment with. Darkmoon Faire begins Sunday, with profession quests and a rep/xp buff if you ride the Roller Coaster or Carousel. Just in time for the new zone. Also it is easy to do, unlike the neat and fun convoluted things. WoW Classic Trial of the Crusader (next short raid) is on the PTR, and normal dungeons will soon drop Ulduar 10 loot (and tokens for Hard Mode Uld 10) with a ++ mode named Beta. And our raid team has filled our 2 open spots with a new mage and paladin. We raid naxx tonight, to gear the new 80s up, and should be heading back into Ulduar next week. SWTOR See Game Notes ESO Cool things the guild has been doing: - We've been working on Trials again and having a lot of fun doing so even though we usually have less than 12 people. Things planned or coming up for the guild: - More trials and another ToT tournament is in the sign up stages. Game News: - The next chapter, Necrom, will be out June 5th for PC/Mac and June 20 for consoles FFXIV 9:30pm Eastern on May 24, plus this coming Friday is Stormblood Extreme mount farming, poster in show notes below.

Joe and Patrick take the wheel this week as J.J. is off to CSUNATC22. In another headphones recommended show, Joe takes us on a tour of three apps that he came across in 2021. Swerve through obstacles in Space Wave Race, become a short order cook with Blinded Chef and transform into a swashbuckling adventurer as you explore the mysteries of the Sonar islands. It really is all fun and games this week on episode 224 of the BBQ. Space Wave Race 2:35 From the Apple App Store page "Only the true heroes of space can become champions of Space Wave Race: the intergalactic championship that will take you to challenge the best pilots in the galaxy! LISTEN, MOVE AND SHOOT TO BEAT YOUR ENEMIES IN THE GREAT SPACE RACE Fly through a myriad solar systems, space ruins, unknown engineering structures, asteroids and incandescent stars to win the battle. Be the first in this intrepid running race fighting your enemies. Prove what galactic material you are made of! UNLOCK DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPACESHIPS Enjoy the experience playing with different spaceships designed for battle. Unlock more spaceships by playing the game. PLAY CHALLENGING GAME MODES Includes several game modes with different complexities and gameplay: Championship Mode, Single Race Mode, Endless Galactic Mode. DESIGNED TO BE accessable Space Wave Race has been developed to be fully accessible, including modes for players with reduced mobility, visual and/or hearing impairment and dyslexia. Expressly created to enjoy the experience without losing a single detail in all conditions." > This game is also available on PC/Mac [via the Steam service. And you can see what others have said about the game at this Apple Vis page. Blinded Chef 14:50 Taken from the Google Play Store page "Take control of a chef and lead him from a street hot dog vendor to a head chef in a restaurant. Test your hearing, reaction and memory! Play, cook, find new dishes and earn achievements. For those who find the game too easy, there is a hardcore mode inside. Inside you will find: 6 dishes normal and hardcore modes random trial achievements leaderboard Rules: Listen and remember which ingredients you need to make a dish, swipe in the appropriate direction to select the required ingredient and confirm your choice with a swipe up. All ingredients are in different groups and the more complex the dish, the more groups and ingredients. For example: A client asks you to cook burger of pork meat, lettuce, tomato and mushrooms. Use the following combination: Swipe right to choose pork meat, swipe up to confirm, swipe right to choose lettuce, swipe up to confirm, swipe down to choose tomato, swipe up to confirm, swipe left to choose mushrooms, swipe up to confirm. You can also find this game by visiting the Apple App Store and you can hear "Friend Of the Show" Jessie Anderson's YouTube review at IllegallySighted Sonar Islands 21:44 Noted from the game's developer Mental Home website "Sonar Islands is a MULTIPLAYER ONLINE game, where all relevant events happen in your ears. On various islands you explore and discover, seek hidden TREASURES and conquer OBSTACLES. Every new island has a special atmosphere and a different gameplay. Do your best to fortify your islands and be clever enough to take the gold from your opponents. Visit the ancient TEMPLE island, the ancestors built, where snakes are biting and down falling parts may block your way. Take a trip to the JUNGLE island, watch abandoned lions on your way, but be aware of the tree traps, set up by the natives. You can go up, but there is no coming down. The FUN FAIR island is a happy place to be. You can shoot toys coming towards you. Some carry a treasure, some carry a bomb, that's the risk. The VOLCANO island is a chilly place, for some too hot, especially if you step near the lava flows. Ash and stone rain down due to the eruptions of terraforming, raise your shield to protect you. In the MACHINE HALL you will meet the friendly robots from Feer, but this time you carry a stun gun to short-circuit their brains, at least for a while, till their self-repair is complete. On PING island you will get a sonar device for orientation, send out a tone and the echo tells you, where to go. That s good, because you may discover, this island is a labyrinth. High up on the TREETOP island you have to deal with wind and mosquitos. The wind is really disorientating, leaves are rustling, while the mosquitos chase you. And don't fall, while balancing on the twigs. On the ELECTRO island you face the invisible power of ELECTRICITY. Tesla coils sparkle round their high voltage, better shoot some metal confetti to divert the current. The nice thing here are catapult plates, they make you fly all over the island. A pity, that you don t know where you will end up. Happy vacation!" > Nab the game either from Google Play or Apple's App Store. Up next, no kidding, actual in person for reals with two people in front of one microphone interviews recorded at CSUN 2022! And if you haven't heard it yet, or read the transcript, Greg Stilson gave us an amazing update with all the goings on over at APH

This week's review is on Unpacking, a small pixel art puzzle game about unpacking items into rooms, available now on Switch, Xbox, PC/Mac. And so, I... didn't love it. But this text is about how, actually, I don't even want to love everything I play. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes love is too much, sometimes I only want things to be fine. The written version of this text is available on thewhitepube.com/games/unpacking Thank you to our Patreon gang for supporting our weekly writing!

Zoom Podtrak P4 Review   This is an amazing device. A multi track recorder designed for podcasting, even for beginners, just connect mics and head phones. It is a multi-track recorder, mixer, and a 2 channel audio interface to a PC (Mac or Windows).   Main features of the P4:   Use your favorite mics. Multi track recording supports for channels recorded at the same time, producing a combined file, and individual channel files. Levels of all 4 mics can be individually altered. 4 Head phone outputs allows everyone to monitor voice levels. Power can be via UsBC computer, USBC power or two AA battery's (UsBC power could also be a power brick). Remote recording of participants: channel 3 for smart phone, and channel for for PC: a Mix Minus function stops remote participants from hearing back an echo. Instant playback of jingles via the 4 button sound pad. The UsBC PC port can be used to use the P4 as an audio device to a PC: Mac or Windows. P4 records at 44.1 kilohertz , 16 bit in Wav format. Best of all, all main functions are controlled by knobs, buttons, and slide switch's. Use the Play, Stop and Record buttons to start/pause recordings. Menu via the Menu button is not accessible, but once options set, no need to access.   NB - when you first get the P4, install the AA battery's, and get sighted assistance to set time/date via the menu, as well as turning on Mix Minus. Zoom recommends that you format the SD card within the device itself (SD card not included). What is cool from my point of view as well, is that whilst I am using the P4 as an audio device to my Mac, I can still use the record function on the P4 to also make a recording: i.e. Amadeus Pro on my Mac recording the podcast, and the P4 also making an audio recording. Finally, some folks still like people to make local recordings which has the best quality sound, and then give those files to the podcast host who then brings them all together as a multi-track recording: which is why it is so neat that the P4 does a master file recording of all channels, but then individual file channels of each mic input/person speaking locally or remotely.   Further down the page I have listed what is now in my portable podcasting kit. At the very least you will need: The P4 itself, Sd card, 2 XLR mics if you are going to record yourself and another  person, 2 mic stands for the mics, 2 3.5mm head phones to monitor sound (including from the sound pad) for yourself and the other person, Power bank to supply power or just use the AA battery's,, UsBC charger, or UsBC to UsB A cable to power P4 from a PC (Mac or Windows),, TRRS cable to plug in an iPhone for remote recording of Facetime or other calls, Lightning to 3.5mm audio adapter for iPhone to support the TRRS cable, And if you are not going to leave it on a desk, some type of carrying case for the P4.   Physical layout:   Back panel - 4 female XLR mic input ports.   Front panel - 4 output 3.5mm head phone ports.   Left panel front to back - UsBC PC/power, UsBC power, Sd card slot.   Right panel front to back - , TRRS 3.5mm audio iPhone port, Bluetooth Zoom adapter port to connect via BT to smart phones, and recessed power on/off.   Bottom of unit - back edge 2 rubber feet on either side, and front edge long rubber strip (stops P4 from moving on desk). Above rubber strip, is the battery door for the AA battery's).   Top face of unit where all the cool knobs, button's,slide switch's, and the screen is located (screen takes up part of the right hand face of the P4).   Going from the back top edge towards the front:   4 gain knobs for each of the XLR mic ports from left to right, channel 1, channel 2, channel 3 and channel 4.   Next row, 4 slider switch's  for each of the mic input ports, again left to right, channel 1, channel 2, channel 3, and channel 4. Channel 1, and channel 2 slide switch's have two settings, left Dynamic mic, and right Condenser )phantum power) mic. Switch channel 3, and switch channel 4 have a 3rd setting on the right: switch channel 3 is to engage iPhone via the TRRS 3.5mm port on the right side, and switch channel 4 is to engage the UsBC PC/power on the left side from a PC (Mac/Windows).    Next row - 4 mute toggle buttons for each of the mic inputs, again left to right, mute channel 1, mute channel 2, mute channel 3, and mute channel 4.   It is always suggested that when a channel is not being used, mute and turn the gain down for that channel.   Then a group of 4 buttons in a 2 by 2 grid for the Sound Pads (P4 comes with preset sounds if you want to use them or create your own).   Under the Sound Pad buttons, a round knob to adjust volume for all Sound Pads.   To the right of the Sound Pad volume knob, 4 buttons: Menu, Play, Stop, and Record button.   NB - just as an FYI, when in the Menu, Play and Stop buttons move through the menu, and the Record button acts as a select or enter button.   Underneath the volume Knob, are the 4 volume knobs for each of the head sets, for monitoring mic input, corresponding to each of the mic inputs: head phone 1, head phone 2, head phone 3, and head phone 4.   NB, the gain knobs for the mic inputs have no tactile pointer, although they do stop at the top and end range (as do the knobs for head phones, and the sound pad). You can mark them with something like Loc Dots so you can tell what level you have each of the mic gains set at   Just to be clear about the size of this amazing device and the controls, as it sits facing you, its about 6 inch's in depth with the head phone ports at the front and mic XLR ports at the back, and about 3 inches wide. The knobs are quite a discrete size, and the actual buttons for mute, sound pads, menu etc, are square buttons that are only raised a little bit above the face of the P4.   Learn about this very much accessible recorder for podcasters in episode 116 on the Mosen podcast recorded by Tim Cumings. The following link is from a different website to Mosen Explosion which will allow you to download the actual MP3 file as well as listening to it online so you can use it as a resource whilst you are getting used to using the P4.   https://the-blind-podmaker.pinecast.co/episode/6f5ca0c9/tim-cumings-demonstrates-the-zoom-podtrak-p4   General review of the Zoom Podtrack P4 from the general tech industry   https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/zoom-podtrak-p4-review/   This was an interesting article explainingg the difference between dynamic and condenser microphones, mainly aimed at producing music and vocals.   https://musicianshq.com/whats-the-difference-between-dynamic-and-condenser-microphones/   This article, this time aimed at using dynamic or condenser microphones for recording podcasts.   https://www.theseasonedpodcaster.com/gear/condenser-vs-dynamic-mic-for-podcasting/   I found reading both articles started to give me a good basic understanding of the different types of microphones and the language associated with them.   Quick tip, use a dynamic mic for podcasting, and yes, you absolutely need the TRRS cable and the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter if you want to record from your iPhone for calls etc. Alternatively, you can purchase the Camera adapter for the iPhone which will allow you to plug in to the front USBC port and directly in to the iPhone via the adapter (in this case of course, you would then use channel 4 not 3).   Also, when you use either channel 3 mic input via the 3.5mm port to record iPhone or channel 4 mic input to record via UsBC port to PC, you can not use the channel 3 or 4 mic ports as XLR mic inputs: they are not available.   Zoom Podtrak P4 User manuaL:   https://zoomcorp.com/media/documents/E_P4.pdf   Zoom Home Page for the Podtrak P4   https://zoomcorp.com/en/jp/podcast-recorders/podcast-recorders/podtrak-p4/   This is what my podcasting kit now consists of:   Zoom Podtrak P4,    4 dynamic mics with stand/puff filters,   4 noise cancelling head sets,   accessible power bank (originally from AT Guys),   several SD cards,   hard shell carrying case for P4,   all necessary cables (TRRS, 3.5MM Lightning adapter, 2 UsBC to UsBA cables, camera adapter, and UsB wall charger), and   SD card reader for M1 MacBook Pro.   10 pack of AA battery's,   computer bag for carrying.   Of course, M1 MacBook Pro for editing recording from SD card  from Zoom Podtrak P4.
