Have you ever heard of a road so haunted that even the trees seem to whisper of its cursed past? Bridge Road, a lonely stretch between North Carolina and Virginia, is a hotbed of supernatural activity; shadowy figures, phantom vehicles, cryptid creatures, and winged humanoids that defy reason. Christian recounts firsthand encounters with a towering bipedal beast, a demonic flying entity clad in colonial garb, and ghost cars that appear only to vanish within moments. Layered over a bloody history of Revolutionary War massacres, witchcraft, and rumored portals, this road might just be a fracture in reality itself. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

We asked and you answered. We put you in control and this is what you did. Today Jason and Donald present the final episode of our look at the Duke Fan Survey that we launched about a month ago. Our final batch of questions have to do with NIL, One and Done, and the Transfer Portal. Have these seismic changes to college basketball changed how you feel about the sport? If you would change them, what would you change? Do you think Duke's strategy for success during these turbulent times is right or would you build the roster differently? The answers... plus all of your general comments when we allowed you to just write whatever you want... on the latest edition of the pod. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

The phrase “If it's meant to happen, it will” has become really popular in the spiritual community. And while I believe there's some truth in it, I also feel like a lot of people use it as an excuse to not take any action and to passively watch their life unfold, thinking that everything is planned out already anyway. To sit and wait, because “if it's meant to be, surely it will happen at some point, right?”In this episode, I discuss: Why waiting for the Universe to “deliver” without action can keep you stuckThe difference between surrendering and pushing away responsibilityHow aligned action plays a crucial role in manifesting your dreamsMy personal experiencesThe power of co-creationGIVEAWAY ANNOUNCEMENTTo celebrate the Soul Alignment podcast's 2nd birthday, I'm running a giveaway from Friday, July 18, until Friday, July 24!

(0:00:34) Al: My name is Al. (0:00:36) Kev: My name is Kevin. Supposedly. (0:00:37) Al: And we’re here, we’re here, supposedly. (0:00:40) Al: Why? What’s what has happened? (0:00:40) Kev: I don’t know. I’ve just… I mean, I’ve never seen the documentation to back it up. (0:00:46) Kev: I’m just saying. (0:00:46) Al: You’ve never seen your birth certificate. (0:00:47) Kev: Birth certificate? No, I don’t… I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen it now. (0:00:51) Kev: If… Yeah, I mean, I probably had to dust it out for something. (0:00:52) Al: Wow, have you seen your driving license or your passport? (0:00:56) Kev: Oh, yeah, you know what? Sure. I guess driver license. Yeah, all right. (0:01:01) Al: Is this Kevin, Kevin, is this where we find out that you’re undocumented, Kevin? (0:01:06) Kev: You know, I’d be a surprise to me too. But here’s the fun part is it doesn’t matter anymore. (0:01:13) Al: Well, that’s device very true. (0:01:22) Al: All right, and we’re here today to talk about cartridge code games, because I didn’t get (0:01:23) Kev: Oh, you know, I can keep that gym in. (0:01:33) Kev: and not nothing (0:01:34) Al: through that sentence. (0:01:36) Al: Is that how this episode is going to be? (0:01:38) Kev: That’s supposedly where you’re talkin’ to me (0:01:41) Al: I need a holiday. (0:01:42) Kev: Well, well, you’re close to one, aren’t you? (0:01:44) Al: Good news! (0:01:46) Al: All right, this episode, we’re going to talk for a very short period of time, (0:01:51) Al: and you’ll understand why later. We’re going to talk about Time of Got You Plaza. (0:01:57) Al: Spoiler alert, don’t play this game. Before that, we’ve got some news. We have what we’ve been up to. (0:02:07) Al: But first of all, wait, do I normally do that in that order? I know what you released the (0:02:11) Al: the last months before what we’ve been up to. (0:02:11) Kev: Isn’t it normally what we’ve been up to first usually? Yeah (0:02:14) Al: I think it is, yeah, OK, right. (0:02:16) Al: Yeah, let’s do that. (0:02:17) Al: Ah, why, why? (0:02:18) Al: It was a section and it just it just moved the title, not the whole section. (0:02:19) Kev: I was destroying (0:02:22) Kev: He’s destroying the show live on on air (0:02:23) Al: Stupid thing. (0:02:25) Al: I’d love to destroy some show notes. (0:02:28) Al: So we’ve got before that, we’ve got some news. (0:02:30) Al: We’ve got I know what you released last month. (0:02:33) Al: But first of all, Kevin, what have you been up to? (0:02:36) Kev: Um, let me think here, um, not yeah, I (0:02:42) Kev: Okay, so a lot of the usuals. Um, a little busy this week. Um, uh (0:02:48) Al: running away from ice agents. Sorry. I really should not joke about that because the ice will (0:02:50) Kev: Yeah, oh no, yeah, yeah that is a genuine concern every day (0:02:57) Al: hear it and they’ll come for you. We can clip it for the slack. (0:02:58) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah (0:03:03) Kev: The joys of being (0:03:05) Kev: Yeah, the joys of… (0:03:06) Kev: being a brown skinned boy in America right now. (0:03:13) Kev: There’s an ex… (0:03:15) Kev: So… (0:03:17) Kev: It feels like a lot of these ice raids are in the workplace, right? (0:03:21) Kev: And so, mine just feels extra, like, odd because I work for a Chinese company, Technica… (0:03:28) Al: Oh no. Oh no. (0:03:28) Kev: Well… (0:03:29) Kev: I mean, they are… (0:03:31) Kev: They have a… (0:03:33) Kev: Incorporation… (0:03:34) Kev: They are incorporated here in America, right? (0:03:36) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:03:37) Kev: They are in separate American companies. (0:03:39) Kev: But, you know, the HQ is in China, so… (0:03:41) Al: And let’s not let’s not pretend like technically an American company would stop any rabid anti-Chinese (0:03:41) Kev: You know, there’s a… (0:03:48) Al: people in America doing anything, you know? (0:03:48) Kev: Oh, yeah! (0:03:49) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. (0:03:51) Kev: For sure, I’m just saying, like, there’s… (0:03:53) Kev: There’s a few layers, extra fun layers to this equation. (0:03:54) Al: Yeah. (0:03:57) Al: As always, they’re not going to come for you in that case, because they’re only coming (0:04:00) Kev: Yeah. (0:04:03) Al: for the manual laborers, right, because they’re the only ones that– (0:04:06) Al: be illegal, obviously. That’s true. That’s true. Oh, goodness. (0:04:08) Kev: They’ll run out eventually. We’re still in year one. (0:04:14) Kev: I live in Georgia. I mean, I’m in the blue area of Georgia, but it’s still Georgia. (0:04:19) Kev: Southern. (0:04:21) Kev: Oh, good. (0:04:21) Al: Oh, a happy, happy podcast. (0:04:25) Al: What have you been up to, Kevin? (0:04:28) Kev: Well, while I’m not sweating my legal status, even though I was born here, (0:04:34) Kev: Um, I’ve been, I’ve been playing. (0:04:36) Al: I mean, who knows whether that counts or not anymore? (0:04:38) Kev: Uh, according to some people in certain positions, I’ve been, uh, I’ve been playing card games, uh, a lot of card games in the past week. (0:04:50) Kev: Like, yeah, a lot of the usual stuff, but, um, Marvel snap. (0:04:54) Kev: We got the, the fantastic Ford season, um, the, the like, uh, based off the new movie, um, that’s coming up. (0:04:58) Al: Ah, yes. Is that July then? Cool. Any good cards? (0:05:02) Kev: Yeah. (0:05:03) Kev: Yeah. (0:05:03) Kev: That’s the July season. (0:05:05) Kev: And okay, there’s two (0:05:08) Kev: Okay, so (0:05:10) Kev: Yes. Okay. First of all, the season pass card is is mr. Fantastic, but the Pedro Pascal version (0:05:17) Kev: so one you get the bonus of Pedro Pascal at first I was I was (0:05:22) Kev: Hesitant about Pedro as mr. Fantastic. I don’t get me wrong. I love Pedro (0:05:26) Al: Yeah, you were being racist about him, yeah. (0:05:28) Kev: Yeah, but but just mr. Fantastic so like the whitest white boy you’ve ever seen right and now I’ve been I’ve been I’ve warmed up (0:05:36) Kev: to it. In fact, I’m down. (0:05:38) Kev: For the revision, let’s let’s just retroactively put Pedro Pascale in all the Mr. Fantastic (0:05:43) Kev: appearances. That’s what I’m down for. The cards pretty dang good. Marvel Snap is reaching (0:05:53) Kev: to play. It feels like it’s reaching to play. So there’s just it’s just going bananas, like (0:05:58) Kev: the power levels going up, which, you know, in most card games, that’s what you have to (0:06:02) Kev: do because you have to keep releasing new cards that people want to buy. But the other (0:06:08) Kev: Interesting tidbit, okay, I can’t remember when they introduced it or (0:06:12) Kev: if it’s always been there. (0:06:15) Kev: So you know that there’s a season pass in Marvel Snap, it’s the big thing. (0:06:18) Al: Yep. I am aware. (0:06:20) Kev: There’s the premium season pass, that’s where you actually pay the money and (0:06:25) Kev: you get the card, right? (0:06:26) Al: Yeah. Yeah, that just unlocks 10 extra levels, right? (0:06:26) Kev: Because the season pass, every player gets it, but (0:06:29) Kev: you don’t get half of it until you pay the $10 or whatever. (0:06:32) Kev: All right, do you remember there is a super premium? (0:06:38) Kev: That’s what it was originally. (0:06:38) Al: Yes, you’re going to tell me it’s now different. (0:06:40) Kev: So X number of months ago, they said, okay, now if you get the super premium, (0:06:46) Kev: you will get this variant, right? (0:06:49) Kev: And for people familiar in Snap, variants are a big thing because they’re your (0:06:52) Kev: flare, I guess technically it can unlock a card for you if you don’t have it. (0:06:58) Kev: But it’s nice, it’s not mandatory. (0:07:02) Kev: It’s an existing card or whatever, but it’s just a little extra icing on top, right? (0:07:08) Kev: And so I was like, okay, sure, that makes sense. (0:07:09) Kev: A nice little extra bonus if you get the super premium. (0:07:12) Kev: I never got the super premium because I didn’t want to pay $20 for that. (0:07:18) Kev: But now they have finally, they’ve pushed the button, (0:07:24) Kev: they’ve crossed the line, they broke the glass. (0:07:27) Kev: There is a brand new card in the super premium version. (0:07:30) Al: Oh no. No disaster. (0:07:32) Kev: Yep, and the optics aren’t great because I don’t. (0:07:38) Kev: No, if you remember a couple of weeks ago, I talked about there was a mode where they (0:07:41) Kev: introduced a new card, but it was basically impossible to get the card just playing for free. (0:07:46) Al: Yeah, you had to have like 500 matches or something. (0:07:49) Kev: Yeah, something like that. (0:07:51) Kev: Yeah, so people were already up in arms about that. (0:07:54) Kev: And that was about a month ago or so. (0:07:57) Kev: So now they’ve got this, so it’s just very clear that the devs or the higher ups, whoever, (0:08:04) Kev: There’s pressure being put on the game to make it (0:08:07) Al: » Yep. I don’t know any other games like that, but yep. (0:08:08) Kev: more pay to win, right? (0:08:10) Kev: I mean… (0:08:12) Kev: Yeah… (0:08:14) Kev: Yeah, I know. (0:08:16) Kev: Completely novel idea. (0:08:18) Kev: But yeah, they’ve done that finally. (0:08:22) Kev: And the worst part is it’s a pretty decent card. (0:08:24) Kev: So… (0:08:26) Kev: The Fantastic Four, all the new versions that will come out. (0:08:30) Kev: A lot of them revolve around this… (0:08:32) Kev: It’s a mechanic that’s existed since the start of the game, (0:08:36) Kev: They, they kind of labeled it. (0:08:38) Kev: End of turn. (0:08:39) Kev: Um, it’s just an ability that activates at the end of turn. (0:08:43) Kev: Um, for like, right. (0:08:44) Kev: So like Mr. (0:08:45) Kev: Fantastic, he gives like a card in your hand, like a plus one power or something. (0:08:49) Kev: End of turn. (0:08:49) Kev: Right. (0:08:50) Kev: And then some of the other fantastic four members, um, they all have. (0:08:50) Al: That’s different, because that’s not what Mr. Fantastic was before. (0:08:55) Kev: No, right. (0:08:56) Kev: He was an ongoing, he boosted other ones, but yeah, this new version (0:08:58) Al: Yeah. (0:08:59) Kev: just boost cards in your hand. (0:09:01) Kev: Um, I’m trying to remember, but there were cards that had this kind (0:09:04) Kev: of ability at the beginning. (0:09:06) Kev: Um, like sunspot, sunspot. (0:09:08) Kev: One right end of turn he would gain a power right um so (0:09:08) Al: Yes, yep. (0:09:12) Kev: So it’s basically that idea, but they just like okay. We make an official label now (0:09:17) Al: Yeah, because I think they were just like random things it was just like it would say (0:09:21) Kev: Yeah (0:09:22) Al: in the description what it happened because I think the other there was I guess you know (0:09:23) Kev: Right (0:09:26) Al: Red Hulk was another one that would do that it would it would give you it would gain power (0:09:27) Kev: Yeah exactly exactly (0:09:32) Al: based on what you didn’t use I think I can’t remember or the opponent used yeah yeah otherwise (0:09:33) Kev: Or what the opponent like if they didn’t use the other energy yeah (0:09:38) Kev: Yeah, but exactly right there were a handful of cards that did that but they they and this was I don’t know a couple months (0:09:43) Kev: ago they they codified that well this season they’re pushing that like all the think three of the four (0:09:49) Kev: Have or at least three of the four have end of turn abilities and the super premium card (0:09:57) Kev: Is the fantastic car? (0:09:59) Kev: And the fantastic car gives a boost to end of turn cards, so it works in this whole (0:10:06) Kev: Fantastic. (0:10:08) Kev: That’s a decent card and it looks fun and cool, but it’s behind this extra paywall. (0:10:16) Kev: So, that’s got people riled up, unhappy, myself included. (0:10:16) Al: Mm-hmm. Not great (0:10:22) Kev: So, and again, the worst… (0:10:24) Al: Side note… (0:10:26) Kev: I’m sorry. (0:10:27) Al: Side note, there’s… you say it’s the fantastic art. (0:10:30) Al: Have they done non-living beings before? (0:10:34) Kev: Uh, well, I mean not counting robots. Um, no, I don’t think so. Like that’s the first like vehicle sort of thing (0:10:40) Al: Yeah, because they’ve done like, obviously, like, they’ve done like ego and they’ve like, (0:10:41) Kev: No, I think yeah (0:10:45) Al: they’ve done like other celestial beings and stuff like that, but like, (0:10:47) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:10:49) Al: yeah, and you write robots and stuff, but I don’t like, (0:10:51) Kev: Don’t sentient beings (0:10:52) Al: the fantastic car doesn’t even like, pretend to be sentient. (0:10:56) Kev: No, no, it is just a car right it’s just a vehicle (0:10:58) Al: Yeah, it’s literally a car. (0:10:59) Kev: Yeah, that one that flies but still (0:11:02) Al: They’re running out of people already, is that the problem? (0:11:03) Kev: Yeah, no (0:11:05) Kev: I (0:11:07) Kev: Don’t think they’re running out because Marvel has a lot of dumb characters, but you know the the ones people get excited about maybe they’re (0:11:17) Kev: They’ve been going a little fast (0:11:20) Kev: They did actually a while back they introduced a new card called skills (0:11:26) Kev: Which are not not characters. They’re just like so (0:11:30) Kev: The a lot of the dr. Strange spells were called (0:11:34) Kev: skills they introduce some magician type characters who generated skills in your in and (0:11:41) Kev: Skills they when you play them, they just disappear they they have a cost they they play them they have an ability and they disappear (0:11:47) Al: Yeah. (0:11:49) Kev: So they don’t stay and generate power on your board or whatever (0:11:53) Kev: And so they introduced that so that that was kind of like their first really like okay, we’re introducing some new cards that aren’t just characters (0:12:01) Kev: But yes the fantastic cars for it as I can tell (0:12:04) Kev: It’s like the first one that’s like a piece of equipment or or vehicle or whatever (0:12:05) Al: I, I just remembered, I just remembered Thanos gives you the Infinity Stones. (0:12:09) Kev: Yeah, oh (0:12:11) Kev: Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, that’s just true those aren’t characters. Yeah (0:12:14) Al: It was not the first, and I don’t need people telling me, “Oh, technically the (0:12:18) Al: Infinity Stones have a consciousness.” (0:12:25) Kev: But yeah (0:12:27) Kev: So it’s it’s a wild time and the worst part is Marvel snap is still in my opinion good like the game is good though (0:12:34) Kev: Cakes are still solid (0:12:36) Kev: It’s grown so much that you can kind of play whatever you deck want you want now (0:12:42) Kev: I’ve said that a handful times and still true, right? (0:12:44) Kev: But I said that because there there were errors of snap where we’re they were dominated by certain archetype or a certain card or whatever (0:12:44) Al: Mm-hmm Oh (0:12:49) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah (0:12:52) Kev: Right, we don’t see that as much now. There are no real problem (0:12:57) Kev: children (0:12:59) Kev: But but maybe because of that I don’t know but they’re (0:13:04) Kev: They’re pushing harder for the pay to win like give us money (0:13:08) Kev: So that kind of sucks especially because again, I like the game. It’s still enjoyable in my opinion (0:13:13) Kev: The games are still six turns. They’re fast. They’re there because he can play lots of different types and and and archetypes and it’s fun (0:13:23) Kev: But so yeah, I will keep playing until like I don’t know what we’ll see i’m the frog in the boiling pot and all that (0:13:29) Kev: we’ll see (0:13:32) Kev: But other than that, the other… (0:13:34) Kev: A big card game I’ve been playing. (0:13:42) Kev: Marvel Rivals Season 3. I need to do that in grey. (0:13:45) Kev: I don’t know if you saw it, but… (0:13:47) Kev: Sorry, it’s just so I thought. (0:13:49) Kev: I’ll report on that when I do play it. (0:13:53) Kev: Magic the Gathering. (0:13:56) Kev: I’m still playing the Arena, the online version. (0:13:59) Kev: And Final Fantasy sets still going strong and all that. (0:14:02) Kev: I tried drafting for the first time. (0:14:04) Kev: Online, but it’s still drafting. (0:14:07) Al: Is that is that a built in feature of Arena? (0:14:34) Kev: If you pick a card you want out of your pack and then you pass the cards to the next person and you know (0:14:40) Kev: Everyone kind of swaps packs and everyone keeps selecting out of these different packs until you have a pile of your own cards from all (0:14:47) Kev: These different packs (0:14:49) Kev: and (0:14:50) Kev: So it was always a novel idea. I never tried it before but I know something very weird about like, okay (0:14:55) Kev: I have this pack. I don’t want to share the cards. Why am I giving you my cards, but (0:15:01) Kev: But it works out because after you know the (0:15:04) Kev: packs are going around and rotated and all that like you have a deck that you (0:15:10) Kev: know there’s X number of packs and from that you’ve actually built the deck that (0:15:14) Kev: kind of sort of works if you know what you’re doing right and everyone’s kind of (0:15:18) Kev: on the same playing field because everyone’s opening all these new packs (0:15:21) Kev: nobody has any you know bringing in any existing cards or whatever so it’s kind (0:15:27) Kev: of a levelish playing field um bit of luck in there of course depending on (0:15:31) Kev: what you open or whatnot. (0:15:34) Kev: it’s a fun novel idea. And so on Arena, the version I play, the actual drafting part (0:15:43) Kev: is done with bots. You don’t actually do it with the other players. So that’s nice because (0:15:48) Kev: you don’t have to, you know, there’s not a timer or anything, you know, you’re just like, (0:15:52) Kev: okay, here, I think about it, pick what I want. Or if you know, if you need to go step away, (0:15:57) Kev: go to the bathroom, whatever you can, right, there’s no pressure to actually finish the draft (0:16:01) Kev: in X number of minutes or whatever. (0:16:05) Kev: But then when you build your deck, then you go, uh, you play against actual other players who’ve done the similar, um, drafting process. (0:16:12) Kev: Um, so, um, it, yeah, it’s an awful experience. (0:16:16) Kev: I think it’s fun actually. (0:16:18) Kev: Like I get it now with the appeal of the drafting. (0:16:20) Kev: Um, and, uh, but yeah, it’s, it’s good. (0:16:24) Kev: Final, the Final Fantasy cards was so good. (0:16:25) Kev: I, I, I’m angry at how good they are. (0:16:29) Kev: Um, the two, um, but I, at the very least I stayed clean. (0:16:34) Kev: I haven’t any money into magic for in a hot minute. (0:16:38) Kev: Um, and at least not any for anything for Final Fantasy. (0:16:42) Kev: So I feel good pounding myself on the back for that. (0:16:44) Kev: I’ve stayed strong. (0:16:45) Kev: Um, but yeah, other than that, um, nothing, nothing else. (0:16:50) Kev: I can’t, man. (0:16:51) Kev: Oh man. (0:16:51) Kev: Have you seen the master’s costume, Pokemon masters, the costumes lately? (0:16:56) Al: I’ve seen some of it. (0:16:58) Al: I’ve not really kind of been paying too much attention. (0:16:58) Kev: Did you see the, did you see the, the Larry, the vacation layer? (0:17:04) Kev: Oh, okay. (0:17:04) Kev: Hold on. (0:17:05) Kev: All right. (0:17:05) Kev: I’m going to make the usual slack exclusive thread. (0:17:08) Kev: Um, um, but yeah, it’s a, uh, uh, they gave Larry a, a, uh, Hawaiian, like a (0:17:18) Kev: lowland themed, um, uh, vacation suit and masters. (0:17:23) Kev: It’s very funny. (0:17:24) Kev: Um, uh, they also got summer Cynthia. (0:17:28) Kev: So she’s, I believe five or six variants of Cynthia now, because guess what? (0:17:34) Kev: Popular. (0:17:34) Kev: Did you know that Al? (0:17:35) Kev: Did you know she’s popular? (0:17:36) Al: Hm hm hm, whaaat? (0:17:37) Kev: Um, um, Skyla got a fun suit with jump off. (0:17:43) Kev: Um, yeah, masters is good. (0:17:45) Kev: The big, I haven’t dropped money on it in a while, but I, I want those costumes. (0:17:51) Kev: So yeah, I can say. (0:17:52) Kev: So that’s me all gotcha, all, all gambling, all card games. (0:17:56) Kev: What about you? (0:17:56) Kev: Al, what gotcha and gambling have you been up to lately? (0:18:00) Al: Oh, just my usual Pokemon, right? (0:18:02) Al: Although I’ve not put any money in since Go Fest. (0:18:03) Kev: Yeah. (0:18:05) Kev: I heard about that, that last episode, you got your training. (0:18:06) Al: So, yeah. (0:18:08) Kev: Gimme, gimme, gimme gold in the, in the, in the Dakota, get her weren’t yet. (0:18:13) Kev: I’m, I need to know, is she free? (0:18:16) Kev: I need to know. (0:18:19) Al: think so. I don’t think so. No, what have I actually been playing? Let’s see. I’ve been (0:18:20) Kev: Yeah. (0:18:26) Al: playing Tamagotchi Plaza and when I say playing, I played about half an hour and then searched (0:18:31) Al: online to make sure I wasn’t missing anything before I sold the game. More about that later (0:18:36) Kev: Wow, that’s fast. (0:18:37) Al: on in the episode, but that’s your, yeah it is. I have never, I’ve never stopped playing a game (0:18:46) Al: that fast and not been like, “Ugh!” (0:18:49) Al: This just isn’t for me, and instead being like, “This is just a bad game.” (0:18:52) Kev: Oh I’m excited, I’m excited to hear about this later. (0:19:00) Al: And I’ve also been playing some Land’s Island, slowly, obviously, because if you’ve listened (0:19:06) Al: to the previous episode, listener, you will know that I am not playing on my Steam Deck, (0:19:11) Al: which is how I normally play games, Steam Deck or Switch 2, while watching TV with my wife. (0:19:19) Al: So I’ve got to play it at my desk, and I don’t like doing that, right? Who wants to be sitting at (0:19:24) Al: your office desk playing games? So I’ve just been doing it for a couple of hours a week, (0:19:26) Kev: Alright. I get it. It’s undecided, but maybe. But hey, I mean, good for them, right? Yeah, (0:19:31) Al: but I have been enjoying that, I think. I think I’m enjoying Land’s Island, I think it’s a fun game. (0:19:42) Al: Yeah, I mean, I’m still annoyed about the controller support, but other than that, (0:19:47) Al: I think I’m enjoying it. (0:19:48) Kev: yeah. Yeah, that, that, I mean, that’s, that’s very fair. I’m with you on that boat. I want (0:19:53) Kev: controllers for my games, by and large. (0:19:56) Kev: I did not grow up a PC gamer so, um, you know, obviously I can do, you know, point (0:20:02) Kev: and click or management type games. (0:20:04) Kev: There’s no problem on the mouse, but like the people who do shooters and stuff like (0:20:07) Kev: that on the, the, on the mouse and keyboard, I don’t get it. (0:20:11) Kev: I can’t, I can’t, it’s, it’s beyond my poor comprehension. (0:20:17) Kev: But hey, good for lens Island. (0:20:18) Kev: Like that was a journey, but they got there. (0:20:21) Kev: Um, they, they, yeah. (0:20:23) Al: something like that. They got somewhere anyway. All right, I think that’s it. I’m just kind (0:20:27) Kev: They did stuff, they improved, they improved to some measure, I’m told. (0:20:37) Al: of waiting for Donkey Kong, to be honest. (0:20:38) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I don’t blame you. It’s like that game looks very good and shocker and yeah, yeah, I (0:20:44) Al: Yeah. Soon. (0:20:48) Kev: Wish he had more transformations. That’s it’s like the big thing. We’ve only seen three. Maybe there’s more (0:20:52) Al: Well, there might be more like surely they would have shown (0:20:55) Kev: Yeah, well the question is (0:20:58) Kev: Like what’s a good number right like because you know, obviously (0:21:02) Al: Yeah, like ten would be too many probably like that feels over (0:21:06) Kev: Yeah, right (0:21:09) Kev: And there’s probably gonna be some super transformation for the final fight because that feels like a thing this they would do (0:21:13) Al: Of course, of course. (0:21:16) Kev: But like normally I’d say I know five is a good number not counting anything finale spectacle transformation (0:21:23) Al: Well, let’s see what happens, but I’d be surprised if they’ve shown us everything. (0:21:28) Al: Let’s put it that way. We’ll see, but we will see. (0:21:32) Al: All right, well, let’s get into I Know What You Released last month. (0:21:37) Al: A quiet month, apparently, June was. I don’t know how I missed this out of the episode from (0:21:42) Al: two weeks ago, which is when I was meant to do it, but apparently I did. (0:21:46) Al: Just three games released. We got Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma. (0:21:52) Al: I haven’t played that. (0:21:53) Al: We’ve got Lenz Island 1.0. (0:21:55) Al: Obviously I’ve played that. (0:21:56) Al: And we’ve got Tamagotchi Plaza. (0:21:58) Al: Please do not play that. (0:22:00) Kev: I’ve played none of these games one day. I’ll play a room factory game. I would like to I (0:22:08) Al: Yeah, I feel like I could- (0:22:08) Kev: Mean (0:22:10) Kev: Yeah, I mean it’s it’s story of seasons, but more anime juice up the anime they said (0:22:16) Al: It’s much, I would say it’s much more like, it’s a combat game that just happens to have (0:22:21) Al: farming in it, rather than, especially now, I think you could probably argue in the four (0:22:22) Kev: sure okay sure yeah yeah sure and you know what that makes sense like you’re (0:22:27) Al: and before days, that it was Harvest Moon with, with combat, but now I think it’s definitely (0:22:34) Al: focused the other way around. (0:22:39) Kev: gonna do two series differentiate sure why not long as they have the cow all as (0:22:42) Al: Yeah, yeah, different cow, but yeah, all right. (0:22:45) Kev: well (0:22:49) Kev: Wait, it’s a different they don’t use the story of Caesar’s cow (0:22:50) Al: Well, I don’t think so. (0:22:53) Kev: Oh, no, never mind. It’s all it’s almost don’t care (0:22:58) Al: Yeah, because they don’t have standard animals in Unfactory. (0:23:00) Al: They have like other animals. (0:23:01) Al: So it’s kind of like a lion cow, but you will love the name. (0:23:04) Kev: Oh, huh, I’ll check it out. Okay, I’ll see a (0:23:08) Al: It’s called a buff-a-moo. (0:23:11) Kev: buffer (0:23:13) Kev: Let’s see. So like a buffalo but a buffer. Okay. Oh (0:23:19) Kev: Okay, that’s oh wait no that is a while (0:23:23) Kev: Mmm the design is kind of cute, but it also makes me think of the the girl dog from from (0:23:30) Kev: Full metal alchemist. I don’t like that (0:23:32) Al: Well, there you go. (0:23:38) Al: All right, we’re going to get into some news and we are going to start off with Kevin’s (0:23:38) Kev: Okay, that’s that’s an interesting camera (0:23:44) Al: favorite news. (0:23:45) Al: Gaucho and the Grassland have announced that they’re releasing on the 16th of July. (0:23:51) Al: You may notice, Kevin, that is basically now. (0:23:54) Al: When this episode comes out, it will be out. (0:23:55) Kev: that is when this episode comes out I will be playing this game probably i’m assuming it has (0:23:59) Al: Yeah. (0:24:01) Kev: controller support that’s that’s the the uh kind of the line in the sand for me great well yeah (0:24:04) Al: It says it has feel controller support, but I don’t know whether I can trust that or not. (0:24:12) Kev: you know that’s a good point too but um yeah I don’t know what can I say it’s still the same like (0:24:19) Kev: every trailer just continues to deliver the same promise you are being a cowboy that’s it (0:24:25) Kev: it and I like it’s a fun yeah yeah the the the the art style is cute kind of that overcooked (0:24:26) Al: Kevin was sold the moment he saw the first thing about being a cowboy, he was like “I’m sold, (0:24:30) Al: I don’t need to know anymore!” (0:24:37) Kev: the looking art style um but yeah I get you get to yeah and I can see that you you get to lasso (0:24:40) Al: It’s doing a little bit of the Animal Crossing curved world as well. (0:24:47) Kev: cows like that you know they knew that’s the activity you want to do you throw you have your (0:24:51) Kev: Europe, you’re the last of the count, so they… (0:24:55) Kev: I’m sold. (0:24:56) Al: Yeah. I need to know how it feels. Right. Because the controls for that, it could either be interesting or just horrific and terrible to play. So it’ll be interesting to see how that goes. (0:25:08) Kev: uh you’re right and it’s gonna be a very delicate like thing to get right so we’ll we’ll see um (0:25:17) Kev: tune in because I promise you you will find out on this show thoughts on about this game (0:25:20) Al: It does have a demo. (0:25:23) Kev: one form or another it does I won’t play it i’m just going in blind i’m going all in (0:25:30) Al: Next, we have Wandering Village. They have announced that they’re exiting Early Access. (0:25:38) Al: They’re releasing their 1.0 this week on the 17th of July, one day after Gaut you on the (0:25:44) Kev: That’s right after. I only have one day if I want to play Cowboy if I want to do this. I will not do that. (0:25:45) Al: grassland. (0:25:53) Al: And that is going to Steam Switch, Xbox and PlayStation all on the same page. (0:25:57) Kev: What a wild trailer because you have your huge dinosaur with the village or whatever on top (0:26:02) Kev: in the trailer. Oh okay, I didn’t know that. The art style is interesting because it’s 3D but like (0:26:03) Al: on onboo, I believe his name is. (0:26:11) Kev: 2d characters and and like (0:26:14) Kev: It’s not octopath like (0:26:16) Kev: It’s a full like CG 3d looking world, but the characters look like flat paper. It’s it’s it’s very interesting (0:26:25) Kev: Dynamic the thing is bad. Just interesting. But yeah is you have that and then you have people with like (0:26:32) Kev: Bane masks and then people (0:26:36) Kev: Burning the whole village (0:26:38) Kev: Forest for some reason. I don’t know. There’s a lot going on here. It is fascinating (0:26:44) Kev: And coming out on all consoles and everything that’s good good for them. That’s that’s impressive (0:26:49) Al: Yep, continuing this week’s releases, (0:26:54) Al: we have Cottonville is releasing on the 17th of July. (0:26:58) Kev: They’re just making up for last month by everything out one week as they stay. (0:27:03) Al: Everything on the same day. (0:27:06) Al: This was originally a Kickstarter, but apparently the Kickstarter was banned. (0:27:12) Al: And so now it’s just, yeah, so goodness sake. (0:27:12) Kev: B-band? (0:27:16) Al: Let me let me read what it was. (0:27:19) Al: There’s a statement on it. Here we go. (0:27:21) Al: This was back in the 15th. (0:27:21) Kev: Oh goodness. (0:27:23) Al: Dear Community, it says titled Kickstarter Update. (0:27:29) Al: Dear Community, firstly, we would like to sincerely thank you for your incredible (0:27:33) Al: support and participation in our first Kickstarter campaign. (0:27:36) Al: It genuinely means the world to us. (0:27:38) Al: Unfortunately, due to an oversight on our part, our Kickstarter campaign was (0:27:43) Al: suspended for unintentionally breaching Kickstarter’s guidelines. (0:27:47) Al: As a result, all contributions have been fully remembered. (0:27:49) Al: We are very grateful for the support gathered and to out show appreciation to all our backers (0:28:14) Al: and we are working on the very best solution to how to reward your contributions. (0:28:20) Al: Thank you again for your amazing support and interest in Cottonville. It truly means so (0:28:22) Al: much to us. While this was our first experience with Kickstarter and it did not go as planned, (0:28:27) Al: we’ve learned a lot. We’re looking forward to future campaigns now armed with valuable. (0:28:34) Kev: that didn’t answer my question. Why? Were crimes committed at any point? Maybe. Unintentional (0:28:40) Al: So I wonder, so it looks like what they did was they cancelled the Kickstarter and created (0:28:43) Kev: crimes? (0:28:52) Al: a new Kickstarter, and I’m wondering whether that’s the rule they broke, like you can’t (0:28:58) Al: recreate a Kickstarter or something like that. (0:29:00) Kev: Mm-hmm. I can see that that makes sense (0:29:03) Kev: Yeah, I’m big. Why well, why would they do that in the first place? I don’t know (0:29:08) Al: Don’t know, is this game a scam? I don’t know. (0:29:10) Kev: big (0:29:14) Kev: That I mean there’s the other fact that they are making the game without Kickstarter anymore (0:29:20) Kev: That’s the I did these are very weird flags. I don’t know. They’re red flags. They’re just weird flags (0:29:29) Al: » They are definitely flags. (0:29:31) Kev: Yeah, and the wildest part is it’s for this game that (0:29:38) Kev: Like isn’t for me. It feels very Facebook (0:29:42) Al: Oh, yeah, I hate the look of the game into it. (0:29:42) Kev: like gamey (0:29:45) Al: So it’s from it’s from the publisher Red Deer Games who have done such games (0:29:51) Al: such as Sprout Valley, Garden Buddies. (0:29:54) Kev: Monocats, I don’t know any of you wait no in a Sprout Valley (0:29:56) Al: And a bunch of other things that all definitely look like scam games. (0:30:01) Kev: And is this money laundering very possibly you (0:30:05) Al: I mean, Sprout Valley was a game and it was a fine game. (0:30:10) Al: Garden Buddies, I’m pretty sure we didn’t. (0:30:12) Al: It’s a publisher, not a developer, right? (0:30:16) Kev: yeah look i’m the game dev people oh it’s a public oh the publisher sure well okay exactly (0:30:23) Kev: well exactly the more reason to believe it may be money laundering the devs are maybe legit and (0:30:28) Al: Although, well, so this is where it gets interesting, is Cottonville is developed by the publisher. (0:30:39) Al: I think it’s their first game that they’re developing, rather than publishing. (0:30:40) Kev: you’re right it is you’re right um well that’s um (0:30:49) Kev: this is very strange and again if it were like a game that you know looked better you know that (0:30:58) Kev: being that might be one thing but it looks so I don’t know it just it just feels very weird (0:31:08) Al: it does. It is very weird. It does have a demo. Will I play the demo? Who knows? We’ll see. (0:31:08) Kev: the way the characters are always looking at you. (0:31:10) Kev: Straight up the camera, I don’t like it. (0:31:22) Al: Will I buy the game? Probably not, but I guess it depends how the demo goes, I guess. It’s (0:31:24) Kev: I also probably own that. (0:31:29) Al: just, yeah, those animations are so weird. [sighs] (0:31:32) Kev: Yeah (0:31:33) Kev: it (0:31:35) Kev: Comes out same day as wandering village, which noticeably feels much less possibly a scam (0:31:42) Al: Well, that game’s already out, it’s just not out in 1.0. (0:31:46) Al: All right, rounding out this week’s releases, (0:31:52) Al: Tiny Garden have announced their Summer Breeze content update (0:31:57) Al: and cosmetic pack are releasing on the 17th of July. (0:32:02) Kev: It’s our I don’t know. I gotta think of a barbenheimer equivalent cotton (0:32:07) Kev: wandering garden, I don’t know (0:32:10) Al: Best bet is, I think it’s the same week as Barbara Naimer happened. (0:32:13) Kev: Really that’s incredible (0:32:13) Al: Yeah, because it was definitely July and I think it was this week. (0:32:18) Kev: Yeah, my favorite thing about barbenheimer like I mean both movies are fine or whatever but people kind of under their breath were like (0:32:23) Al: Two years ago. (0:32:25) Kev: But barbie was a little bit better though (0:32:27) Al: Oh, it absolutely was, yeah, I enjoyed Oppenheimer, but it was it was not as good a film. (0:32:29) Kev: Yeah (0:32:36) Al: But I look, I’m not saying it’s a bad film, but I mean, Barbara. (0:32:43) Al: It was my film of the year that year. (0:32:44) Kev: I mean, the two lead roles kind of killed it in every aspect. (0:32:52) Al: Yeah, yeah, 21st of July, it was I was right, it’s the same week. (0:33:00) Al: So this would be Gaucho Wandering Cotton Garden. (0:33:07) Kev: yep there you go glad we found our episode title (0:33:07) Al: Oh, OK, fine. (0:33:11) Al: Yeah, new content pack DLC for Tiny Garden. (0:33:18) Al: If you’re enjoying that game, it was such a cheap game. (0:33:21) Al: I suspect this will be paid. (0:33:22) Al: It’s DLC. It does look like it’s paid DLC, so I mean, go support it. It’s good. (0:33:29) Kev: - Yeah, there you go. (0:33:31) Kev: That’s a cute idea of like, it’s all cosmetics. (0:33:36) Kev: Whole game is cosmetics, right? (0:33:38) Kev: So like introducing these packs, that’s a good idea. (0:33:42) Kev: And it’s like there’s some, (0:33:44) Kev: like you can grow palm trees and wait, (0:33:47) Kev: no, there’s new mechanics. (0:33:48) Kev: Hold on, they’re saying new mechanics. (0:33:48) Al: So I think so if I if I understand it correctly, the new plants and new mechanics are a free (0:33:49) Kev: Oh, oh music. (0:33:55) Al: update and the cosmetics are the DLC. (0:33:58) Kev: Uh, okay, that makes sense as it should be good for them (0:34:02) Al: That is the correct way to do things, yes, I agree. (0:34:04) Kev: Pokemon (0:34:10) Kev: But good for them good for you tiny garden you little garden that (0:34:15) Al: We also have an update for Disney Dreamlight Valley. (0:34:19) Al: I feel like these are coming out all the time and also I care about them less and less. (0:34:22) Kev: I mean it’s yeah yeah that’s that’s good that’s called diminishing returns and (0:34:30) Kev: and that’s what happens when you have Disney with a bajillion IPs and (0:34:36) Kev: whatever and and the worst part is like I don’t know I most of these don’t feel (0:34:43) Kev: like big story expansion I mean a lot of them are but I don’t know just I look at (0:34:50) Kev: other games like look at the mojo (0:34:52) Kev: games right when the new contents there’s big story chapters and stuff to (0:34:57) Kev: do these I don’t know maybe it’s all because it’s existing IPs like I don’t (0:35:05) Kev: know it just doesn’t have the same hype around it maybe it’s because it’s too (0:35:11) Kev: saccharine they can’t they can’t go crazy they can’t have the chapter where (0:35:16) Kev: or Scar eats Remy from Ratatouille. (0:35:20) Al: I, yeah, I wonder if, because obviously they’ve done this thing where the DLCs have been split up, (0:35:25) Al: so this update is called the storybook veil part two, the unwritten realm update. (0:35:32) Kev: Okay. Okay, one name. (0:35:38) Al: And I kind of feel like maybe it would be better if they just did all the DLC (0:35:42) Al: for the storybook veil at once, right? Because we talked about this before, where I don’t think I’d be (0:35:50) Al: booting up Stardew every two months if there was a new update, but the way that he bundles it all (0:35:54) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:35:56) Al: together in an update every two years or three years or whatever, means that I’m super excited, (0:36:01) Al: because it’s like, oh, it has been years since I’ve probably played the game, let’s go in, (0:36:05) Al: we’ve got loads of new content, I’m really excited for that. Whereas this is just constant, here’s (0:36:10) Al: new update. And I suspect they’ve probably got numbers to show that this keeps people invested, (0:36:18) Al: Right. Like if we talk about. (0:36:20) Al: I wouldn’t want one big update every two years for that, but I don’t know. (0:36:25) Al: It’s a difficult one, but I don’t even play the game anymore. (0:36:25) Kev: Uh-huh, well I mean, yeah I’ve never played the game so I’m just completely talking without (0:36:30) Al: So who might it complete? (0:36:36) Kev: any frame reference. (0:36:38) Al: What that’s not what we do (0:36:44) Kev: So we say right after declaring cotton fields a scam without having touched it or planning (0:36:48) Al: No, I did not, excuse me, I did not, I would like to clarify, as per my lawyers have just (0:36:49) Kev: to. (0:36:55) Al: told me to do, I, lol, I did not claim that the game was a scam. I asked whether it was (0:37:03) Al: and felt, it said it felt a little scammy. That is all I’m saying. I, yep, that is very (0:37:08) Kev: - Feel of a scam. (0:37:12) Al: different to claiming it is a scam. It feels scammy, it’s not the same thing. (0:37:14) Kev: - True, true. (0:37:16) Kev: Yeah, true. (0:37:18) Al: This one has, so this update, what does this have? The final part of the story for (0:37:26) Al: the storybook veil, which is Maleficent and Hades doing some stuff. (0:37:32) Al: Who’s the new characters? Is that Peter Pan? (0:37:33) Kev: It’s embedded, looks like it. (0:37:37) Al: And who else is with Peter? Is that Aurora? No, not Aurora. What am I talking about? Who is that? (0:37:44) Kev: Trying to see that is (0:37:44) Al: I just saw the colour of dress. (0:37:47) Kev: Wait, who is that? Is that a player character? That might be the player character. I don’t think I recognize (0:37:49) Al: Oh, that’s the player character, that would make sense, right? And a monkey? Who’s the monkey? (0:37:53) Kev: Yeah, I know (0:37:57) Al: I can’t see, this image is so small. (0:37:59) Kev: It is I’m trying to yeah, that’s just a pet monkey (0:38:03) Al: And for some reason, the patch notes don’t mention characters other than Maleficent and Hades. (0:38:09) Al: Like normally they list, I don’t think so. (0:38:09) Kev: Wasn’t Peter Pan already added? Oh (0:38:14) Kev: Okay, I don’t know I don’t know it says yeah there become pals with Peter Pan you’re right yeah, I don’t know that’s just a pet monkey (0:38:18) Al: Oh, here we go. No, I there is Aurora, right? So venture into the pages of a storybook to uncover Aurora in an enchanting dream style, in addition to her regular (0:38:26) Kev: There’s a guy who looks evil with wings. He looks cool. I don’t know what else (0:38:34) Kev: And that dog on Peter Pan (0:38:36) Al: Anyway, whatever. There’s an update. I don’t think you need us to explain. (0:38:42) Kev: There’s Eric’s dog - what’s the best dog in Disney movies we should we should make it ranking (0:38:50) Al: That sounds like a greenhouse episode. All right. (0:38:53) Kev: Best pets for Disney (0:38:56) Al: We have two more news updates. The first is Lens Island have released their post 1.0 roadmap. (0:39:04) Kev: Mm-hmm is the bro map just say take the money and run I’d applaud somebody if they said that (0:39:05) Al: So, first of all. (0:39:06) Al: I mean, they had a Kickstarter that if they were going to take the money and run it would (0:39:15) Al: have been back then. (0:39:16) Al: So they say the rest of July will be post release bug fixing. (0:39:21) Al: In August, there will be a community feedback update. (0:39:22) Kev: Sure (0:39:25) Al: I have community feedback. (0:39:26) Al: Give us proper controller support. (0:39:29) Kev: There’s the the developer livestream you see you can yell at them in real time. Thank you (0:39:34) Al: Also, silly question, is that not the whole point of early access, (0:39:37) Al: is to get community feedback and update it based on that? (0:39:39) Al: Like, why are you waiting until after 1.0 to do that? (0:39:42) Al: Whatever. (0:39:42) Kev: It’s fine, it’s fine (0:39:44) Al: And then in December, they will be releasing a major content update. (0:39:48) Al: No information on that. (0:39:49) Al: Just there will be stuff and more coming in 2026. (0:39:51) Kev: So I was about to say, so the roadmap is we’re going to work on it, maybe. (0:39:53) Al: So it’s a pretty loose. (0:39:58) Al: You know. (0:40:01) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:40:03) Al: the update is. (0:40:04) Al: We’re going to bug fix, and then we’re going to add some changes, and then we’re going to (0:40:08) Al: have a new new content. And it says December. I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t this year. (0:40:10) Kev: listen to people yeah yep we’ll see I mean but they’re gonna continue to (0:40:23) Kev: support it which I mean every game does now because games or service did you (0:40:28) Kev: know that out (0:40:29) Al: Yes. And let me double check. (0:40:32) Al: But I think this is, let me double check something. (0:40:38) Al: And they do just seem to have. (0:40:40) Al: So I am not aware of another game that they’re working on just now or anything else. (0:40:46) Al: I thought I was aware of one, but no, I think that’s a different company. (0:40:50) Al: So maybe they are just planning on continuing work on Lenz Island. (0:40:55) Al: I I doubt that that is going to be continue to be. (0:40:59) Al: And final piece of news, Kevin Stardew Valley is now the this Stardew Valley is now the (0:41:05) Kev: » Yeah, that’s correct. (0:41:18) Kev: Hmm, yeah, yeah this this one scares me (0:41:27) Al: top-rated game on Steam. (0:41:29) Al: Iso. (0:41:29) Kev: That scares me (0:41:35) Kev: Steam has a lot of games on it. I’ll I (0:41:39) Kev: Know there has to be I know there has to be a number one (0:41:44) Kev: Like but it just feels so surreal that the game that (0:41:49) Kev: Not that we care about per se but that is so close to us because of this podcast like (0:41:55) Kev: That’s the number one. That’s wild to me (0:41:58) Al: So have you don’t click on the don’t click on the link to the top 250. (0:42:03) Al: Have you looked at it at all? (0:42:04) Al: I want to check. (0:42:04) Kev: No, I’m not. (0:42:05) Al: OK, so let’s do a little let’s do a little game. (0:42:08) Al: See how many of the top 10 Kevin can guess. (0:42:11) Kev: Oh, there’s a bajillion games on Steam. (0:42:15) Kev: I don’t know. (0:42:17) Al: Think of games that people like. (0:42:17) Kev: All right. (0:42:18) Kev: OK, OK, Portal 2 is number two because that’s the one that (0:42:21) Al: So, yeah, so we know that we’ve got two already. (0:42:21) Kev: got me dethroned. (0:42:23) Al: We’ve got Stardium and got Portal 2, number one and number two. (0:42:25) Kev: Oh, well, let’s see. (0:42:28) Kev: And here’s part of the question, right? (0:42:30) Kev: How is this calculated, right? (0:42:32) Kev: Because if a game has 5.0 review (0:42:34) Al: Yeah, so I suspect you have to get above a certain amount of, let’s put it this way, (0:42:35) Kev: But only has 100 reviews (0:42:37) Kev: It’s probably not hitting the top (0:42:39) Kev: Even though if it is really good you know (0:42:45) Al: I will give you a clue, every single one of the top 10 has over 100,000 volts. So it’s (0:42:51) Kev: Okay. Sure. (0:42:52) Al: at least some kind of popular game. Nope, that is number 14. (0:42:56) Kev: Sure. Okay. Like, uh, I know Baldur’s gate three is up there. (0:43:01) Kev: No, it’s Baldur’s gate three is really wow. (0:43:04) Al: Yep, number 14 with 8.73. I will say it’s very crowded at the top, right? So 8.73, (0:43:08) Kev: Wow. I, wow. I’m, I’m. (0:43:14) Al: compare that to Stardew at 1, 8.87, right? Like there’s not a lot in it, they’re all very close. (0:43:21) Kev: I’m not gonna get a single guess here (0:43:23) Al: I think you will keep going. I think you will get some wrong, but I think you’ll get some right. (0:43:27) Kev: Okay, see yeah cuz I mean like okay, I’m trying to think oh, this is hard right because a lot of games (0:43:35) Kev: Are really good, but they’re ports right like (0:43:38) Kev: Spider-man is now on Steam if I recall right the spider-man 1/2 are they (0:43:42) Al: Definitely not up there. It was not it was not a very well-received port because it was very bad. (0:43:48) Kev: Yeah, that’s true I forgot about that right (0:43:48) Al: I don’t I can’t even see them in the list. Let’s see where we’ve got Spider-Man. (0:43:51) Kev: Like uh see this is the thing (0:43:53) Al: The first Spider-Man is 140 and Spider-Man 2 is not. (0:43:58) Kev: Great that’s fantastic see this is the thing like I have to think about I don’t think about steam as much as (0:44:07) Al: Would you like some clues? (0:44:09) Al: I can give you some. (0:44:10) Kev: Is one of them Stanley parable (0:44:10) Al: They all. (0:44:12) Al: It is not there. (0:44:14) Kev: God yeah, okay. Yeah, I don’t know this is oh (0:44:17) Al: Let me let me give you a clue. (0:44:19) Al: Let me give you a clue by giving you genres. (0:44:19) Kev: Okay, okay. (0:44:22) Al: So we have what number three, the genre is open world survival craft. (0:44:28) Kev: Oh my goodness. Oh god. Is it power? No! (0:44:32) Al: No, it is not power world. (0:44:33) Kev: I’m kidding. I know it’s not power. (0:44:35) Kev: What is it? (0:44:38) Kev: Did, oh, what is the name? (0:44:40) Al: Our world is 241. (0:44:41) Kev: Is Umamusume pretty derby? Did it skyrocket to the top? (0:44:47) Kev: Do you know what I’m talking about, Al? (0:44:48) Al: I have no idea what you’re talking about. (0:44:52) Kev: Okay, oh man, I’m happy. (0:44:54) Kev: Dale is going to be thrilled. I brought it up on the podcast. Okay. (0:44:57) Al: Right, let’s stick to this. Open world survival craft, think of a game, a very popular game, (0:44:58) Kev: I’m okay. I’ll bring it up. Fine. Fine. That is no, cause that’s not on steam. Um, hug. (0:45:05) Al: that people like. What was that? Just say it. It was not Minecraft, no. I was tempted (0:45:11) Kev: See, no, cause Minecraft’s not on steam. Yeah. Yeah. No. Cause Minecraft’s not on steam. (0:45:18) Al: to say it’s open world survival craft, but not that one, thinking you were going to think (0:45:22) Kev: Yeah. Yeah. No. (0:45:23) Al: Minecraft initially. It is not correct, but it’s not Minecraft, but it is. (0:45:26) Kev: Is it? (0:45:28) Kev: AHHH! Is it um, oh gosh, I just I’m not a steam person. I don’t know these as well. Um, I what is? Oh my gosh. What is? (0:45:37) Kev: What is this? (0:45:38) Kev: What is that one horror-y game? (0:45:42) Kev: The four or something like that? I don’t remember. Just tell me. I don’t know. You’re gonna fail all these out. (0:45:44) Al: No, no, what? I don’t understand. It’s not Minecraft. It is 2D. (0:45:50) Kev: Oh wait. Oh (0:45:52) Al: Come on! Terraria number three! There we go! (0:45:52) Kev: Terraria! Oh my gosh. Terraria. Oh duh. Wow, I’m stupid. Yeah. (0:45:58) Kev: Terraria, duh. How did I not think that? Yeah. Wow. (0:45:59) Al: You will not get number four. I have never heard of this game. People Playground? (0:46:04) Kev: Well, I don’t know what that is. Um, okay, okay. (0:46:07) Al: Neither do I. It’s a sandbox game, apparently. Number five. Zombies. (0:46:13) Kev: It’s not it’s not art. It’s not gonna be an RE game. It’s (0:46:15) Al: No, but not far off. You’re kind of in the right game’s circle. (0:46:18) Kev: No, it’s I mean (0:46:26) Kev: I mean is it dead by I mean I don&am

Barajas tradicionales: Aparecieron en China alrededor del siglo IX o X, y desde allí se difundieron hacia el mundo islámico y Europa. Las primeras barajas europeas aparecen en el siglo XIV, principalmente para juegos de naipes. Tarot: Surgió en Europa en el siglo XV, específicamente en Italia, como un tipo especial de baraja para jugar a un juego llamado tarocchi. Solo más tarde, en los siglos XVIII y XIX, el tarot comenzó a usarse para fines esotéricos y adivinatorios. …… La filología ofrece los siguientes significados: - TAROT es TORAH o la LEY, de origen Hebreo. - TAROT es TROAH o PORTAL, de origen Hebreo. - TAROT es ROTA o RUEDA, de origen latino. - TAROT es ORAT o HABLA, de origen latino. - TAROT es TAR o SENDERO, de origen egipcio. ….. Diccionario de símbolos de Juan Eduardo Cirlot De otro lado, Jung coincide con las seculares intuiciones del Tarot al reconocer dos batallas diversas, pero complementarias en la vida del hombre: a) contra los demás (vía solar), por la situación y la profesión; b ) contra sí mismo (vía lunar), en el proceso de individuación. Estas dos vías corresponden a la reflexión y a la intuición, a la razón práctica y a la razón pura. El temperamento lunar crea primero, luego estudia y com prueba lo que ya sabía; el solar, estudia primero y luego produce. Corresponden estas vías también, hasta cierto punto, a los conceptos de introversión (lunar) y extraversión (solar); a contemplación y acción (34). El juego completo de los naipes, que se designa con el nombre de Tarocco, se compone de 22 arcanos mayores cuyas imágenes son sintéticas y dotadas de un sentido completo hasta cierto punto, y de los 56 arcanos menores, integrando 14 figuras de cuatro series: oros (círculos, discos, ruedas); bastos (mazas, cetros); espadas y copas. El oro simboliza las fuerzas materiales. El basto, el poder de mando. La copa simboliza el sacrificio. La espada, el discernimiento y aplicación de la justicia. Las 22 láminas mayores corresponden a las letras del alfabeto hebreo. En cada color de los arcanos menores se encuentran el Rey, la Dama (Reina), el Caballero (Caballo) y el Valet (Sota) (48). Se han asimilado las series a los poderes que dominan en la tierra y, consecuentemente, a las profesiones dirigentes o superiores: gobierno (basto); ejército (espada); sacerdocio (copa); intelecto (oro), pues los tesoros en todas sus formas simbolizan siempre los bienes espirituales e intelectuales (54). Según Saunier, las imágenes de los arcanos mayores provienen de las pinturas simbólicas del libro egipcio de Thot Hermes, símbolo de la ciencia del universo (49). Sin embargo, Oswald Wirth, a quien seguimos principalmente para desarrollar el simbolismo del Tarot, reconoce que la arqueología no ha descubierto la menor traza de lo que pudiera ser un Tarot egipcio, árabe o incluso alquímico grecoárabe. Sin embargo, señala que la Cábala hubo de ser familiar a los autores del Tarot, por la fijación de 22 arcanos mayores, es decir, en número igual a las letras del alfabeto hebreo, cargadas de simbolismo, y a los théraphim, jeroglíficos utilizados por los hebreos para la adivinación. Cree Wirth que Italia es la patria de estas imágenes alegóricas, a causa de que no se le puede negar la prioridad en los naipes. La primera representación de los arcanos mayores data de 1392. Según Eliphas Lévi, «el Tarot es una obra monumental y singular, sencilla y fuerte como la arquitectura de las pirámides, en consecuencia durable como ellas; libro que resume todas las ciencias y cuyas combinaciones infinitas pueden resolver todos los problemas; libro que habla haciendo pensar; acaso la obra maestra del pensamiento hum ano y con certeza una de las cosas más bellas legadas por la Antigüedad». Los 22 arcanos son los siguientes: I, El Juglar. II, La Gran Sacerdotisa. III, La Em peratriz. IV, El Em perador. V, El Gran Sacerdote. VI, El Enam orado. VII, El Carro. VIII, La Justicia. IX, El Ermitaño. X, La Rueda de la Fortuna. XI, La Fuerza. XII, El Ahorcado. X III, La Muerte. XIV, La Templanza. XV, El Diablo. XVI, La Torre herida por el rayo. XVII, Las Estrellas. XVIII, La Luna. XIX, El Sol. XX, El Juicio. XXI, El Mundo. XXII o 0, El Loco. Las láminas I al IX constituyen la vía solar activa, consciente, reflexiva y autónoma. Las láminas X II a XXII, la vía lunar, pasiva, inconsciente, intuitiva y «posesa». No podemos explicar aquí las relaciones que pueden establecerse, las órdenes y significaciones que se derivan de esos enlaces, sin traspasar los límites del estricto simbolismo. Cada una de las imágenes alegóricas se analiza en su sentido particular en el lugar que le corresponde. Sin embargo, queremos transcribir aquí los significados más generales que Eliphas Lévi advierte en los 22 arcanos: I (El ser, el espíritu, la creación). II (El santuario, la ley, el conocimiento, la mujer, la madre, la iglesia). III (El verbo, la fecundidad, la generación en los tres mundos). IV (La puerta, la iniciación, el poder, la piedra cúbica o su base). V (Indicación, demostración, filosofía y religión). VI (Encadenamiento, unión, antagonismo, equilibrio, combinación). VII (Arma, espada, triunfo, realeza). VIII (Balanza, atracción y repulsión, vía, promesa y amenaza). IX (El bien, la m oralidad, la sabiduría). X (Manifestación, fecundidad, cetro paternal). XI (La mano en el acto de tomar y mantener). XII (Ejemplo, enseñanza, lección pública). X III (Dominación y fuerza, renacimiento, creación y destrucción). XIV (Estaciones, cambios de la vida siempre diferente e igual). XV (Magia, elocuencia, comercio, misterio). XVI (Alteraciones, subversiones, debilidades). XVII (Efusiones del pensamiento, influencia moral de la idea sobre las form as, inmortalidad). XVIII (Los elementos, el mundo visible, la luz reflejada, las formas materiales, el simbolismo). XIX (La cabeza, la cima, el príncipe del cielo). XX (Lo vegetativo, la virtud generatriz de la tierra). XXI (Lo sensitivo, el carro, el cuerpo, la vida transitoria). XXII (El microcosmo, el resumen de todo en todo). En estas imágenes se mezclan ideas relativas al mundo exterior y al mundo interior, a las formas y a las jerarquías del pensamiento. Con ellas se intenta crear un orden, más amplio aún que el de doce elementos constituidos por el zodíaco, formando una rueda que contiene todas las posibilidades arquetípicas de la existencia y de la evolución humanas. Diccionario de los símbolos de Jean Chevalier y Alain Gheerbrant Tarot. Juego de cartas sin duda de los más antiguos, el Tarot emplea un mundo de símbolos. No se puede dudar de su enseñanza esotérica, más o menos secretamente transmitida a través de los siglos. El problema de sus orígenes es muy difícil de resolver, si no imposible. Desde Court de Gébelin que, en el siglo XVIII, se apasionó por su interpretación, se han avanzado las teorías más diversas. Venga de la China, de las Indias, de Egipto, sea incluso obra de Thot-Hermes Trimegistos, de bohemios, de alquimistas, de cabalistas o de un hombre sabio entre los sabios, el Tarot presenta de hecho una iconografía netamente medieval, mezclada con símbolos cristianos. 1. Los colores. En su forma más tradicional, la del Tarot de Marsella (el único al que se refieren nuestras descripciones detalladas), el juego se compone de setenta y ocho láminas: cincuenta y seis arcanos menores y veintidós arcanos mayores. [A veces se distinguen las dieciséis figuras de corte de los arcanos menores propiamente dichos, en número de cuarenta]. Todas estas láminas están vivamente coloreadas. Antes de examinar sus significaciones particulares, recordaremos aquí en algunas líneas la simbólica de los colores dominantes del Tarot: ocre rosa (carne), azul, rojo y amarillo. El ocre rosa indica siempre lo que es humano o lo que está ligado a la humanidad (caras, cuerpos, construcciones). El → azul, color nocturno, pasivo y lunar, es el color del secreto, del sentimiento, del ánima, de los valores femeninos por excelencia. El → rojo es el color macho de la fuerza interna, de la energía potencial, de las manifestaciones del animus, de la sangre y del Espíritu. El → amarillo, en fin, con toda su ambivalencia, es al mismo tiempo el color de la tierra y el del sol, el de la riqueza, el de la miel y las cosechas, y el de la luz intelectual en su pureza de oro inalterable. (Para la aplicación detallada de esta simbólica, ver, en su nombre, el estudio de cada arcano mayor). 2. Los arcanos menores. Los arcanos menores comprenden cuatro series o palos: bastos, copas, espadas y oros, de catorce cartas cada uno: rey, dama, caballo, sota y diez cartas numeradas del as al diez (en los juegos de cartas francesas el caballo ha desaparecido, los bastos se han transformado en diamantes, las copas en corazones, las espadas en picas y los oros en tréboles. En la baraja española, en cambio, falta la dama entre las figuras de corte). Estas cuatro series simbolizan los cuatro elementos o los cuatro componentes fundamentales de la vida. El basto es «el Fuego de la acción, el punto de partida necesario de toda evolución» (DELT, 1, 18); pero es también «la varita mágica, el cetro de dominio viril y el padre» (WIRT, 42). La copa es «el Agua fecundante del cielo, lo que enlaza lo creado con lo divino, la vida psíquica» (DELT, 1, 18); pero es también «la copa adivinatoria, la receptividad femenina y la madre» (WIRT, 43). La espada es «el Aire, espíritu que penetra la materia y la informa, formando ese compuesto que será el hombre» (DELT, 1, 19); es también «la espada del evocador, el arma que dibuja una cruz y recuerda así la unión fecunda de los dos principios, macho y hembra; la espada simboliza además una acción penetrante como la del Verbo o la del Hijo» (WIRT, 44). Puede ser interesante confrontar la afirmación de Jung: «las picas están ligadas simbólicamente a la penetración del intelecto y a la muerte» (JUNS, 298). El oro, en fin, es la Tierra: «Descenso bajo tierra por el que comienza toda iniciación (importancia de la → caverna) y que da al hombre el apoyo del mundo en el que está situado» (DELT, 1, 19); o «el disco pentacular, signo de apoyo de la voluntad, materia condensadora de acción espiritual, síntesis que conduce de nuevo el ternario a la unidad, Trinidad o Tri-unidad» (WIRT, 43). Se podría hacer un estudio detallado del simbolismo de estas cincuenta y seis láminas, pero eso nos llevaría demasiado lejos. Señalemos simplemente que están estrechamente ligadas a los arcanos mayores; las encontramos en el primero de ellos, el → Juglar: tiene en sus manos el bastón que asegurará su poder sobre la tierra del oro y sobre sí mismo, mientras que la copa y la espada (reducida a las proporciones de un puñal), que simbolizan las dos vías del hombre en la búsqueda de la iniciación, por el corazón y por la mente, están colocadas sobre su mesa. 3. Los arcanos mayores: caminos iniciáticos. Los arcanos mayores son en sí mismo caminos iniciáticos, cuyas etapas han sido interpretadas de numerosas maneras. Se presentan como la quintaesencia del hermetismo, como los altos grados situados por encima de la masa anónima. Se estudian en detalle bajo el nombre de cada lámina: I. El Juglar. II. La Gran Sacerdotisa. III. La Emperatriz. IV. El Emperador. V. El Sumo Sacerdote. VI. El Enamorado. VII. El Carro. VIII. La Justicia. IX. El Eremita. X. La Rueda de la Fortuna. XI. La Fuerza. XII. El Ahorcado. XIII. Arcano sin nombre (La Muerte). XIV. La Templanza. XV. El Diablo. XVI. La Torre herida por el Rayo. XVII. La Estrella. XVIII. La Luna. XIX. El Sol. XX. El Juicio. XXI. El Mundo. Y sin número, El Loco. 4. Los ternarios y los septenarios. Si dejamos aparte El Loco, que no tiene número, contamos → veintiún arcanos, que se reparten, o bien en siete ternarios, o bien en tres septenarios. En cada ternario, «el primer término es activo por excelencia; el segundo es intermedio: activo respecto al siguiente, pero pasivo respecto al precedente, mientras que el tercero es estrictamente pasivo. El primero corresponde al espíritu, el segundo al alma y el tercero al cuerpo» (WIRT, 68). Así se agrupan: El Juglar (I), La Gran Sacerdotisa (II) y La Emperatriz (III); luego El Emperador (IV), El Sumo Sacerdote (V) y El Enamorado (VI); El Carro (VII), La Justicia (VIII) y El Eremita (IX), etc. La misma distinción —espíritu, alma y cuerpo— se vuelve a encontrar en las relaciones de los tres septenarios: del Juglar (I) al Carro (VII), los valores del espíritu; de La Justicia (VIII) a La Templanza (XIV), los del alma; y, del Diablo (XV) al Mundo (XXI), los del cuerpo. Una misma lámina podrá, pues, interpretarse como espíritu y alma o como alma y cuerpo, según su lugar en el conjunto escogido y según los planos de análisis; por ejemplo, La Emperatriz es cuerpo en el primer conjunto ternario y espíritu en el primer conjunto septenario; las relaciones cambian en el interior de los diferentes conjuntos. Todas las claves de interpretación muestran aspectos diferentes de una misma lámina; ninguna posee un sentido absoluto y definitivo. Es siempre un sistema móvil de relaciones, que exige la mayor flexibilidad de interpretación. En el interior de cada septenario, «los tres primeros arcanos se oponen a los tres siguientes y el séptimo reduce el todo a la unidad» (WIRT, 77); lo cual da valor a la significación sintética del Carro (VII), de La Templanza (XIV) y del Mundo (XXI): dominio de la voluntad en el mundo del espíritu (VII), del equilibrio en el del alma (XIV) y del movimiento perpetuo en el mundo del cuerpo (XXI). 5. Relaciones con el zodíaco y los planetas. Puede allegarse este agrupamiento ternario con la concepción astrológica según la cual la rueda del zodíaco representa, en sus tres posiciones sucesivas, los cuatro elementos: nacimiento o comienzo de la evolución, culminación y caída o involución. Los signos Fuego, Tierra, Aire y Agua, que nacen con Aries, Tauro, Géminis y Cáncer, culminan en Leo, Virgo, Libra y Escorpio, y van hacia su caída en Sagitario, Capricornio, Acuario y Piscis. En el agrupamiento ternario del Tarot, las láminas en que aparecen netamente los símbolos del zodíaco tienen una posición que corresponde: el Sagitario de El Enamorado (VI) está en caída, la balanza de La Justicia (VIII) en culminación, así como el león de La Fuerza (XI), mientras que los gemelos de El Sol (XIX) están al comienzo de una evolución. Pero si se trata de ir más lejos y reconstruir un Tarot astrológico, tropezamos con profundas divergencias entre los autores. «Hay tantas correspondencias diferentes de los arcanos con los planetas y el zodíaco como autores especializados en el estudio del Tarot. La fantasía más absoluta reina en este dominio. Oswald Wirth ve, por ejemplo, en El Juglar a Mercurio; Fomalhaut, al Sol; Th. Terestchenko, a Neptuno, etc. Sin pretender dar una lista completa, fácilmente se pueden encontrar para ciertas láminas una buena docena de correspondencias astrológicas diferentes y a menudo contradictorias. Ante semejante plétora de hipótesis, A. Volguine propone, en L’utilisation du Tarot en Astrologie Judiciaire (París, 1933), hacer corresponder los arcanos mayores no con los planetas y con los signos, sino con las casas horoscópicas, en las que cada sector representa un dominio bien definido. Así El Juglar y La Muerte se ligan a la primera Casa del horóscopo; La Gran Sacerdotisa y La Templanza a la segunda, y así sucesivamente. Los arcanos del Tarot pueden considerarse también por parejas; cada uno de ellos manifiesta, en la dualidad componente, una analogía más o menos evidente de los contrarios: la vinculación entre láminas y casas horoscópicas explica la razón de semejante acoplamiento» (A. V.). 6. La interpretación cabalística. A los ojos de los cabalistas que han estudiado el Tarot, se imponen varias observaciones. Hay tantos arcanos mayores como letras en el alfabeto hebreo. Su número «es exactamente el de las veintidós vías de la Sabiduría, el de los canales intersefiróticos que unen entre sí las diez sephiroth, los sublimes principios metafísicos de la cábala judía» (RIJT, 198). Las propias sephiroth, atributos místicos de Dios, se desarrollan en forma de trinidades en cada una de las cuales dos extremos están unidos por un término medio (MARD, 154) y concuerdan con el sentido simbólico de las láminas: al Juglar, causa y punto de partida de todas las cosas, corresponde la Corona sefirótica; a La Gran Sacerdotisa, la Sabiduría; a La Emperatriz, la Inteligencia; al Emperador, la Grandeza y la Misericordia; al Sumo Sacerdote, el Rigor, o el Juicio; a los Enamorados, la Belleza; al Carro, la Victoria; a La Justicia, la Gloria; al Eremita, el Fundamento, y a La Rueda de la Fortuna, que representa el torbellino involutivo, el Reino (WIRT, 71-73). Como hay correspondencia entre todas las láminas, se puede desarrollar a partir de ahí toda una simbólica cabalística del Tarot, pues, en la cadena que contiene los diferentes grados de la esencia, todo está ligado de una manera mágica (SCHS, 141). 7. El antropocentrismo del Tarot. Tarot alquímico, tarot mágico o incluso masónico (WIRT, 281-286): todas las claves de interpretación han sido empleadas siempre que se hayan encontrado uno o dos signos simbólicos relacionados con tal o cual doctrina; las hemos señalado al pasar en el examen particular de cada arcano. Pero el Tarot resulta, antes que nada, antropocéntrico, y las figuras que lo componen tienen una significación psicológica y cósmica: concierne al hombre en sí mismo y en el mundo, incluso aunque no nos muestren personajes humanos, como La Rueda de la Fortuna (X) y La Luna (XVIII), en donde los animales no son más que caricaturas del hombre. Para estudiar ahora el simbolismo del Tarot sobre esta base, hay que disponer los arcanos o en forma de rueda —lo que sitúa El Loco entre El Juglar y El Mundo— o en dos filas: la primera, del I al XI, y la segunda, en sentido inverso, del XII a El Loco. Se ve entonces claramente que el eje vertical del Tarot une los arcanos VI y XVII, El Enamorado y La Estrella, siendo el uno la afectividad y la otra la esperanza, como si estos dos valores fuesen el eje alrededor del cual gravitan todos los demás. …..-…… 8. Una vía de evolución hacia la sabiduría. Solo frente al mundo, el hombre busca la vía de la sabiduría en la adquisición de un doble dominio: el del mundo exterior y el de su universo interior. Este dominio procede de una iniciación progresiva que distingue asimismo dos vías, dos modos o dos fases principales, con predominio activo o pasivo, solar o lunar. «El primero se basa en la exaltación del principio de iniciativa individual, en la razón y la voluntad. Conviene al sabio que está siempre en plena posesión de sí mismo y no cuenta más que con los recursos de su propia personalidad, sin esperar ningún socorro de las influencias exteriores. Resulta muy diferente en el segundo, en donde sucede exactamente lo contrario que en el primero. Lejos de desarrollar lo que se tiene en uno mismo y de dar según toda la expansión de las propias energías íntimas, se trata para el místico de ponerse en estado de recibir, en toda la medida de una receptividad especialmente cultivada» (WIRT, 49). Así, lo racional y lo místico, como lo masculino y lo femenino, se oponen y se complementan dos a dos. La Fuerza (XI) y El Ahorcado (XII), por ejemplo, no son más que los dos aspectos de un mismo símbolo: fuerza exterior del arcano XI y fuerza completamente interiorizada y espiritualizada del Ahorcado (XII). En este sentido igualmente, El Juglar, a la búsqueda de la iniciación, se topa en primer lugar con La Gran Sacerdotisa (II), detentadora de los secretos del mundo: para leer en su libro, se necesita la inteligencia de La Emperatriz (III) y del Emperador (IV). Con El Sumo Sacerdote (V) la iniciación se hace efectiva: el hombre va a conseguir elevarse a través de las pruebas de los otros arcanos, entre las cuales la primera será la tensión del Enamorado (VI), centro de la primera hilera de láminas, pues sin impulso efectivo nada es posible. Después de esta elección que lo compromete, el señor del Carro (VII) corre el riesgo de abusar de su poder y de enorgullecerse de su fuerza; La Justicia (VIII) le recuerda la ley del indispensable equilibrio, y, fuerte en su ideal, partirá como Eremita (IX) a través del mundo; pero, en la medida en que El Eremita busca la verdad, juzga y pone en movimiento La Rueda de la Fortuna (X) que da lo que él debe recibir, según su estado interior y su propio deseo de evolución. Sólo La Fuerza (XI) puede parar La Rueda de La Fortuna. Al término de esta primera vía, el iniciado ha encontrado lo que buscaba; La Fuerza tiene el mismo tocado que El Juglar: la lemniscata o signo de lo infinito. ………. 9. La fase mística. Con El Ahorcado (XII), principio de la segunda hilera, el iniciado entra en un mundo invertido en donde los medios materiales resultan ineficaces: es la vía mística y pasiva. El arcano XIII sin nombre nos indica que la muerte, cuya lámina es roja, color de sangre y de fuego, corta y quema las ilusiones; lejos de ser el fin, es un comienzo. Pero en esta vida nueva que se nos promete no hay que forzar las etapas: las exigencias de La Templanza (XIV) son las mismas que las del Eremita (IX); es únicamente tras haber cobrado conciencia de sus límites y adquirido el equilibrio interior cuando el hombre podrá afrontar al Diablo (XV), símbolo de la tentación más grave, la que nos promete poderes ocultos, tan grandes como los claros poderes de Dios, pero que tejen otros tantos lazos con la potencia diabólica. Desgraciadamente, todas las construcciones del orgullo humano están condenadas a la caída, y he ahí La Torre herida por el Rayo (XVI). A partir de ahora, ya no le queda al hombre más que La Estrella de Venus (XVII), estrella doble de la esperanza y del amor, centro de la segunda hilera de láminas y base del eje vertical del Tarot. Como la Luna acompaña a la estrella en el cielo físico, así la sigue (XVIII) en el mundo simbólico del Tarot, portadora de los valores del pasado, poseedora de todo lo inconsciente, dominio de lo imaginario en donde se forman los sueños. Sin la alianza de la Estrella y de la Luna, no podríamos afrontar la luz y el fuego del Sol (XIX), arcano de la iluminación total, bajo el cual, por primera vez, el hombre ya no está solo. A partir de ahora, puede ser juzgado en su totalidad, en sí mismo y en sus obras. Su hijo, con los ojos del ángel del Juicio (XX), simbolizará el testigo. Ha alcanzado la cumbre de la iniciación, y El Mundo (XXI) no es entonces más que una especie de síntesis de lo que ha obtenido. «Ha logrado operar la transmutación del mundo objetivo en valor psíquico, es decir, en lenguaje alquímico, que habiendo partido del Juglar de la materia prima ha terminado en el oro» (DELT, 11, 488). Así, mientras que la primera vía de la iniciación terminaba en La Fuerza (XI), «patrimonio del Juglar que ha realizado su programa» (WIRT, 53), la segunda vía, la de la mística, parte del Ahorcado (XII) y nos conduce al Loco, cuya pasividad toma aquí un carácter sublime (WIRT, 55). Es el que, tras haber obtenido de este mundo todo lo que él puede dar, reconoce que no posee nada válido y retorna en consecuencia a lo desconocido, a lo incognoscible, que precede y que sigue a nuestra vida. Ante este doble atolladero, no podemos más que continuar buscando, pero habiendo admitido cabalmente en nuestra inteligencia, y aceptado en los sufrimientos de nuestra carne, que hay entre Dios y nosotros una diferencia de naturaleza; la única relación posible con él reside en la esperanza, el abandono y el amor. Tal es la última lección del Tarot concebido como un camino iniciático. …….. 10. Los arquetipos en el Tarot. Pero las dos vías que hemos distinguido se prestan aún a otras interpretaciones. Jung ve en ellas los dos aspectos de la lucha del hombre contra los demás y contra sí mismo: la vía solar de la extraversión y de la acción, de la reflexión práctica y teórica con motivaciones racionales; y la vía lunar de la introversión, de la contemplación y de la intuición, en donde las motivaciones son de orden sensible, imaginativo y global. Puede señalarse también que se ven aparecer en el Tarot varios arquetipos esenciales: la madre (Gran Sacerdotisa, Emperatriz, Juicio), el caballo (Carro), el hombre viejo (Emperador, Sumo Sacerdote, Eremita, Juicio), la rueda (Rueda de la Fortuna), la muerte, el diablo, la casa o la torre (Torre herida por el Rayo, Luna), el pájaro (Estrella, Mundo), la virgen, la fuente, la estrella (Estrella), la luna, el sol, los gemelos (Diablo, Sol), el ala (Enamorados, Templanza, Diablo, Juicio, Mundo), la llama (Torre herida por el Rayo)… Cualquiera que sea el valor de todos estos puntos de vista, no debemos olvidar que el Tarot no se somete enteramente a ninguna tentativa de sistematización: queda siempre en él algo que nos escapa. Su aspecto adivinatorio no es el menos difícil de interpretar. No lo abordaremos aquí, pues las combinaciones son indefinidas y las interpretaciones, incluso aunque se apoyen en los símbolos que hemos intentado esclarecer, exigen una educación de la imaginación, que no se adquiere más que por una larga práctica y una gran reserva de juicio. M. C. ……. 7. La interpretación alquímica. Tanto como la cabalística, es importante la interpretación alquímica. Lo es, no sólo porque fue hecha por los propios alquimistas (véase, por ejemplo, el Tarot alquímico de Salomón Trismosin, Splendor Solis), sino también porque el lenguaje simbólico de las láminas utiliza una materia de experiencia que, aun siendo diferente, es sin embargo idéntica a la de los alquimistas: el alma y el cuerpo humanos. Desde la Edad Media, se impuso en el simbolismo alquímico un esquema general, que distingue tres fases sucesivas: la obra al negro (putrefacción, disolución), la obra al blanco (purificación, sublimación), y la obra al rojo (coagulación, unificación); estas fases corresponden también al cuerpo, al alma y al espíritu. Estas tres fases de la Gran Obra están claramente marcadas en las láminas del Tarot. La Muerte, con su guadaña que descuartiza los miembros, corresponde al primer estado: el de la disolución de los elementos, el de la putrefacción de la materia. La Templanza expresa los valores del alma, el equilibrio, la pureza, la armonía. El Sol representa el estado final de la conjunción, la iluminación, el matrimonio alquímico. Entre estas tres láminas, encontramos la fórmula simbólica de la Gran Obra: Solve et coagula. Toda alquimia simbólica contiene la clave de esta triple transformación, que conduce a la transfiguración del ser. 8. El simbolismo de los colores. El simbolismo de los colores está igualmente ligado a la alquimia. En las tres fases precedentes, la alquimia relaciona tres colores básicos: el negro (nigredo), el blanco (albedo) y el rojo (rubedo). Al proceso de putrefacción corresponde el ennegrecimiento de la materia, que se transforma en polvo y se vuelve negra como la tierra (primer estado). Después viene el estado de la sublimación: entonces el color es blanco, la materia purificada pierde su peso y asciende a lo alto del atanor (segundo estado). Por fin, sobreviene la coagulación; se forma la piedra filosofal, roja, como el oro vivo (tercer estado). Estos tres colores dominan el simbolismo del Tarot. El negro se encuentra con frecuencia en las vestiduras de las figuras, en el suelo, en el color del cielo (como en La Torre o La Luna). El blanco está en los cuerpos, en las alas de los ángeles, en la luna, en las flores. El rojo aparece en las túnicas, en los techos, en las decoraciones; y, sobre todo, es el color del Sol. A estos tres colores, hay que añadir el azul, símbolo del cielo, del infinito, del más allá, que representa el alma en sus valores espirituales, el alma del alma. Y el amarillo, el oro, el color del Sol, la luz del espíritu. Hay que saber ver los colores más allá de su sentido pictórico, como una forma de expresión de la materia misma, y como un símbolo activo que participa en la función mágica del Tarot. 9. El lenguaje de las manos. Entre todos los elementos simbólicos de las láminas, uno de los más importantes es el lenguaje de las manos. En todas las láminas del Tarot, las manos de los personajes están dibujadas con suma precisión, como si transmitieran un mensaje particular. Muchas figuras tienen una mano tendida y la otra escondida: gesto significativo, en la tradición del esoterismo occidental, en la que mostrar una mano y esconder la otra es expresar que sólo se revela un aspecto de la realidad y que el otro permanece oculto, porque está reservado al que sabe. Otros gestos son más explícitos aún: la mano levantada con dos dedos indica la bendición, el gesto sacral (como en el Sumo Sacerdote o el Diablo). Las manos que se juntan y tocan (como las de los amantes o las del Sol) significan la unión, la reconciliación de los contrarios. Otras veces la mano agarra un objeto simbólico: un cetro (poder), una espada (justicia), una antorcha (conocimiento), una balanza (equilibrio), una rueda (destino), un libro (sabiduría). La relación entre la mano y el objeto es también significativa: indica cómo actúa el personaje sobre el mundo, qué poder ejerce o cómo lo recibe. El gesto de la mano no es sólo decorativo, sino un verdadero signo que permite descifrar el sentido profundo de la lámina. En la iconografía tradicional, los gestos son portadores de sentido. La gestualidad del Tarot se sitúa dentro de esta tradición simbólica que liga el movimiento del cuerpo al lenguaje del alma y a la acción del espíritu. 10. La función del número. En el Tarot, cada lámina está numerada. Esta numeración no es arbitraria; forma parte integrante del simbolismo. Cada número es portador de una significación precisa, tanto en la tradición pitagórica como en la cabalística. En el Tarot, el número cumple una doble función: por una parte, organiza las láminas en una secuencia lógica; por otra, aporta un sentido simbólico que completa la imagen. La numeración permite establecer correspondencias, relaciones, simetrías, progresiones entre las cartas. Por ejemplo, el número tres, que aparece en la Emperatriz, expresa la expansión, la fecundidad, el desarrollo. El número cuatro, del Emperador, es el símbolo de la estabilidad, de la organización, del mundo construido. El número siete, asociado al Carro, significa la victoria del espíritu sobre la materia, el ciclo completo más allá del seis (que representa la armonía natural). El número doce, del Colgado, está relacionado con la prueba iniciática, con la inversión de los valores profanos. Además, los números permiten realizar operaciones simbólicas: sumas, restas, multiplicaciones. Así, el número del Diablo (XV) se obtiene sumando los números del Papa (V) y del Enamorado (VI), lo que puede interpretarse como una perversión de los valores religiosos y amorosos. La carta sin número, el Loco, introduce una dimensión diferente: la del infinito, de lo incalculable, de lo que escapa a la razón. La función del número en el Tarot no es la de cuantificar, sino la de cualificar: cada número es una cualidad, una esencia que se manifiesta en la imagen correspondiente. El estudio numerológico del Tarot permite así una lectura más profunda y estructurada del conjunto del juego. 11. La función de la imagen. En el Tarot, la imagen es el vehículo principal del sentido. No se trata de ilustraciones decorativas, sino de verdaderos ideogramas, es decir, unidades significativas donde cada elemento —forma, color, disposición, mirada, gesto— transmite un mensaje. La imagen tarótica no representa tanto una escena como un estado, una estructura del alma, una función psíquica o espiritual. Estas imágenes no están concebidas para ser comprendidas de inmediato. Al contrario, se dirigen al inconsciente, como los símbolos oníricos. De ahí que el Tarot actúe como un espejo interior: lo que se ve en la carta depende también de quien la mira. Esta ambigüedad controlada no es un defecto, sino una riqueza. La imagen tarótica es polisémica: permite múltiples lecturas sin perder su coherencia. Por ejemplo, la imagen del Ermitaño puede ser interpretada como soledad, sabiduría, espera, prudencia, guía interior, o incluso como oscuridad, aislamiento, fatiga. Todo ello es pertinente, porque la imagen no impone un único sentido, sino que abre un abanico de posibilidades que se actualizan según el contexto. Además, las imágenes del Tarot están estructuradas para facilitar asociaciones. Un gesto en una carta se repite, con variaciones, en otra. Un objeto (el bastón, la corona, la espada) aparece en distintos contextos, generando resonancias. Este tejido de relaciones internas convierte el Tarot en un sistema visual coherente, casi en una lengua simbólica. La función de la imagen en el Tarot es, por tanto, análoga a la del símbolo en los sueños, o a la del mito en las culturas tradicionales: condensar un saber experiencial, no discursivo, que sólo se revela en la contemplación y en la práctica. Leer el Tarot es aprender a ver, más que a interpretar. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Are We Already Living Through Societal Collapse?  Eric Weinstein sounds the alarm on AI threats, corrupt science, drone warfare, nuclear war, and deep-state secrets like Epstein. A world-renowned thinker, he asks: Are Elon Musk and the laws of physics our only escape route? Eric Weinstein is a mathematician, former Managing Director of Thiel Capital, and one of today's most provocative intellectuals. He is also the host of the popular podcast ‘The Portal', where he tackles controversial topics - from the failures of academia to the rise of AI, the limits of physics, and the urgent breakthroughs we need.  In this explosive interview, he explains: Why the post-World War II global order is collapsing, and what comes next. How AI and drone warfare are changing war forever. How modern life distracts us from existential threats. Why we must leave Earth if we want a future for humanity.

I began the show with more Portal, but this is a special one time Portal for DSA's (Designated Student Athletes) These are people who were cut or let go for roster limits. The schools jumped the gun and let them go before the Grant House case was settled by Judge Wilkins.  Next, I touch on what CSC (College Sports Commission) is up to. The have been very busy in their short time in action. Bryan Seeley and his group are laying down the law for the Member Institutions of the NCAA.  Congress may give the normal college student some relief by not allowing school to do something very sneaky. Speaking of Congress the are attempting to rush legislation through to aid the school with protections from boosters, athletes and parents. The S.C.O.R.E. Act. (Student Compensation and Opportunity through Rights and Endorsement's). I break down the 411 on what this all could mean for College athletics.   Title Sponsor :minnesotapersonalinjury.com Sponsor: www.Linkzart.com www.jaybeesgloverepair.com   #SCOREACT, #NIL, #BRYANSEELEY, #NCAA, #CSC, #COLLEGESPORTSCOMMISSION, #STUDENTFEES, #DSA, #NCAA,

Jeralyn also provides a mini session of healing sounds, illustrating the soothing capabilities of the bowls. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of grief, resilience, and the potential for music to connect us to deeper, spiritual dimensions.

Ross Gay is a poet, community gardener, and teacher who brings another way of wisdom to the conviction that we have to know what we love and what delights us. And that we have to tend to that as fiercely as to what is broken and what we're called to make better, what we're called to make more just. Knowing what we love and knowing how to take delight is fuel even — and especially — in times of great challenge. This is something we can practice moment to moment, he teaches, through every ordinary day.Journaling prompts for Session 7Give your curiosity and your journaling during this week over to a practice of delight. As you move through your smallest interactions, look for moments/sightings/experiences that bring flashes of light into your day. Do you notice “unambiguously pleasant public physical interactions”? What is pleasant and sweet and tender?Can you feel how attending to delight as seriously as hardship nourishes a reality-bending imagination and passion for justice and hope that is as joyful as it is fierce?We've created a beautiful journal for the whole seven weeks, with full-size printable pages, that you can download for free HERE.A Possible Way to Organize This ExperienceTake each week's brief listening offering, each around 15 minutes long, as a meditation to move through the week ahead. And as none of the great virtues — and certainly not hope — is meant to be carried alone, we encourage you to undertake this experience alongside others, perhaps your life partner or family or colleagues or friends, book group or study group.For example, you could:●  Listen to one Wisdom Practice (roughly 15 minutes) — together or separately — around the same time each week. Listen again and/or read the transcript as often as is useful.●  Carry the ideas, invitations, and journal prompts for the session into your ordinary interactions of the days that follow.●  Commit to some time journaling every day, even if just for a few minutes or a few words.●  Meet with or Zoom/call your companion(s) at the end of the week to share, converse, commune.The Hope Portal and this series are adventures in opening the deep enduring teaching that lives inside the 20 years of On Being.

Our teacher this time is the extraordinary Joy Harjo. She is a musician, a visual artist, a member of the Muscogee Creek Nation, and she's also former Poet Laureate of the United States. From the beginning of her life, from childhood and even before, she has carried and retained a sense of space and time and life that is so much vaster than present circumstances. She uses this evocative phrase for the sense of time she knows and lives. She calls it “the whole of time.” It is stunning to be present to Joy Harjo and see someone who holds this sense of time. She's always known it — never lost it — and she beckons us to enter and relearn.Journaling prompts for Session 6Summon your 200-Year present. Take your mind back to the youngest age you can remember and to the oldest person you remember holding you. Roughly calculate the year of their birth and the history that shaped their lifetime.And who is the youngest person you have held in your arms most recently? Imagine a robust life for them — both the age and year to which they could live.Try to inhabit this expanse of history that you have literally touched and been touched by. Can you feel in your body, in your imagination, a more spacious grasp of time itself and of possibility and agency? What difference might it make?We've created a beautiful journal for the whole seven weeks, with full-size printable pages, that you can download for free HERE.A Possible Way to Organize This ExperienceTake each week's brief listening offering, each around 15 minutes long, as a meditation to move through the week ahead.
