A atriz e apresentadora fala sobre família, religião, casamento e conta pra qual de seus tantos amigos ligaria de uma ilha deserta Regina Casé bem que tentou não comemorar seu aniversário de 71 anos, celebrado no dia 25 de fevereiro. Mas o que seria um açaí com pôr do sol na varanda do Hotel Arpoador se transformou em um samba que só terminou às 11 horas da noite em respeito à lei do silêncio. "Eu não ia fazer nada, nada, nada mesmo. Mas é meio impossível, porque todo mundo fala: vou passar aí, vou te dar um beijo", contou em um papo com Paulo Lima. A atriz e apresentadora tem esse talento extraordinário pra reunir as pessoas mais interessantes à sua volta. E isso vale para seu círculo de amigos, que inclui personalidades ilustres como Caetano Veloso e Fernanda Torres, e também para os projetos que inventa na televisão, no teatro e no cinema.  Inventar tanta coisa nova é uma vocação que ela herdou do pai e do avô, pioneiros no rádio e na televisão, mas também uma necessidade. “Nunca consegui pensar individualmente, e isso até hoje me atrapalha. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, eu tive que ser tão autoral. Eu não ia ser a mocinha na novela, então inventei um mundo para mim. Quase tudo que fiz fui eu que tive a ideia, juntei um grupo, a gente escreveu junto”, afirma. No teatro, ao lado de artistas como o diretor Hamilton Vaz Pereira e os atores Luiz Fernando Guimarães e Patrícia Travassos, ela inventou o grupo Asdrúbal Trouxe o Trombone, que revolucionou a cena carioca nos anos 1970. Na televisão, fez programas como TV Pirata, Programa Legal e Brasil Legal. "Aquilo tudo não existia, mas eu tive que primeiro inventar para poder me jogar ali”, conta. LEIA TAMBÉM: Em 1999, Regina Casé estampou as Páginas Negras da Trip De volta aos cinemas brasileiros no fim de março com Dona Lurdes: O Filme, produção inspirada em sua personagem na novela Amor de Mãe (2019), Regina bateu um papo com Paulo Lima no Trip FM. Na conversa, ela fala do orgulho de ter vindo de uma família que, com poucos recursos e sem faculdade, foi pioneira em profissões que ainda nem tinham nome, do título de “brega” que recebeu quando sua originalidade ainda não era compreendida pelas colunas sociais, de sua relação com a religião, da dificuldade de ficar sozinha – afinal, “a sua maior qualidade é sempre o seu maior defeito” –, do casamento de 28 anos com o cineasta Estêvão Ciavatta, das intempéries e milagres que experimentou e de tudo o que leva consigo. “Eu acho que você tem que ir pegando da vida, que nem a Dona Darlene do Eu Tu Eles, que ficou com os três maridos”, afirma. “A vida vai passando e você vai guardando as coisas que foram boas e tentando se livrar das ruins”. Uma das figuras mais admiradas e admiráveis do país, ela ainda revela para quem ligaria de uma ilha deserta e mostra o presente de aniversário que ganhou da amiga Fernanda Montenegro. Você pode conferir esse papo a seguir ou ouvir no Spotify do Trip FM.  [IMAGE=https://revistatrip.uol.com.br/upload/2025/03/67d446165a3ce/header-regina-interna.jpg; CREDITS=João Pedro Januário; LEGEND=; ALT_TEXT=] Trip. Além de atriz, você é apresentadora, humorista, escritora, pensadora, criadora, diretora… Acho que tem a ver com uma certa modernidade que você carrega, essa coisa de transitar por 57 planetas diferentes. Como é que você se apresentaria se tivesse que preencher aquelas fichas antigas de hotel? Regina Casé. Até hoje ponho atriz em qualquer coisa que tenho que preencher, porque acho a palavra bonita. E é como eu, vamos dizer, vim ao mundo. As outras coisas todas vieram depois. Mesmo quando eu estava há muito tempo sem atuar, eu era primeiramente uma atriz. E até hoje me sinto uma atriz que apresenta programas, uma atriz que dirige, uma atriz que escreve, mas uma atriz. Você falou numa entrevista que, se for ver, você continua fazendo o mesmo trabalho. De alguma maneira, o programa Brasil Legal, a Val de "Que Horas Ela Volta", o grupo de teatro "Asdrúbal Trouxe o Trombone" ou agora esse programa humorístico tem a mesma essência, um eixo que une tudo isso. Encontrei entrevistas e vídeos maravilhosos seus, um lá no Asdrúbal, todo mundo com cara de quem acabou de sair da praia, falando umas coisas muito descontraídas e até mais, digamos assim, sóbrias. E tem um Roda Viva seu incrível, de 1998. Eu morro de pena, porque também o teatro que a gente fazia, a linguagem que a gente usava no Asdrúbal, era tão nova que não conseguiu ser decodificada naquela época. Porque deveria estar sendo propagada pela internet, só que não havia internet. A gente não tem registros, não filmava, só fotografava. Comprava filme, máquina, pagava pro irmão do amigo fazer aquilo no quarto de serviço da casa dele, pequenininho, com uma luz vermelha. Só que ele não tinha grana, então comprava pouco fixador, pouco revelador, e dali a meses aquilo estava apagado. Então, os documentos que a gente tem no Asdrúbal são péssimos. Fico vendo as pouquíssimas coisas guardadas e que foram para o YouTube, como essa entrevista do Roda Viva. Acho que não passa quatro dias sem que alguém me mande um corte. "Ah, você viu isso? Adorei!". Ontem o DJ Zé Pedro me mandou um TED que eu fiz, talvez o primeiro. E eu pensei: "Puxa, eu falei isso, que ótimo, concordo com tudo". Quanta coisa já mudou no Brasil, isso é anterior a tudo, dois mil e pouquinho. E eu fiquei encantada com o Roda Viva, eu era tão novinha. Acho que não mudei nada. Quando penso em mim com cinco anos de idade, andando com a minha avó na rua, a maneira como eu olhava as pessoas, como eu olhava o mundo, é muito semelhante, se não igual, a hoje em dia.  [VIDEO=https://www.youtube.com/embed/rLoqGPGmVdo; CREDITS=; LEGEND=Em 1998, aos 34 anos, Regina Casé foi entrevistada pelo programa Roda Viva, da TV Cultura; IMAGE=https://revistatrip.uol.com.br/upload/2025/03/67d49b0ede6d3/1057x749x960x540x52x40/screen-shot-2025-03-14-at-180926.png] O Boni, que foi entrevistado recentemente no Trip FM, fala sobre seu pai em seu último livro, “Lado B do Boni”, como uma das pessoas que compuseram o que ele é, uma figura que teve uma relevância muito grande, inclusive na TV Globo. Conta um pouco quem foi o seu pai, Regina. Acho que não há Wikipedia que possa resgatar o tamanho do meu pai e do meu avô. Meu avô é pioneiríssimo do rádio, teve um dos primeiros programas de rádio, se não o primeiro. Ele nasceu em Belo Jardim, uma cidadezinha do agreste pernambucano, do sertão mesmo. E era brabo, criativo demais, inteligente demais, e, talvez por isso tudo, impaciente demais, não aguentava esperar ninguém terminar uma frase. Ele veio daquele clássico, com uma mão na frente e outra atrás, sem nada, e trabalhou na estiva, dormiu na rua até começar a carregar rádios. Só que, nos anos 20, 30, rádios eram um armário de madeira bem grandão. Daí o cara viu que ele era esperto e botou ele para instalar os rádios na casa das pessoas. Quando meu avô descobriu que ninguém sabia sintonizar, que era difícil, ele aprendeu. E aí ele deixava os rádios em consignação, botava um paninho com um vasinho em cima, sintonizado, funcionando. Quando ele ia buscar uma semana depois, qualquer um comprava. Aí ele disparou como vendedor dos rádios desse cara que comprava na gringa e começou a ficar meio sócio do negócio. [QUOTE=1218] Mas a programação toda era gringa, em outras línguas. Ele ficava fascinado, mas não entendia nada do que estava rolando ali. Nessa ele descobriu que tinha que botar um conteúdo ali dentro, porque aquele da gringa não estava suprindo a necessidade. Olha como é parecido com a internet hoje em dia. E aí ele foi sozinho, aquele nordestino, bateu na Philips e falou que queria comprar ondas curtas, não sei que ondas, e comprou. Aí ele ia na farmácia Granado e falava: "Se eu fizer um reclame do seu sabão, você me dá um dinheiro para pagar o pianista?". Sabe quem foram os dois primeiros contratados dele? O contrarregra era o Noel Rosa, e a única cantora que ele botou de exclusividade era a Carmen Miranda. Foram os primeiros empregos de carteira assinada. E aí o programa cresceu. Começava de manhã, tipo programa do Silvio, e ia até de noite. Chamava Programa Casé.  E o seu pai? Meu avô viveu aquela era de ouro do rádio. Quando sentiu que o negócio estava ficando estranho, ele, um cara com pouquíssimos recursos de educação formal, pegou meu pai e falou: "vai para os Estados Unidos porque o negócio agora vai ser televisão". Ele fez um curso, incipiente, para entender do que se tratava. Voltou e montou o primeiro programa de televisão feito aqui no Rio de Janeiro, Noite de Gala. Então, tem uma coisa de pioneirismo tanto no rádio quanto na televisão. E meu pai sempre teve um interesse gigante na educação, como eu. Esse interesse veio de onde? Uma das coisas que constituem o DNA de tudo o que fiz, dos meus programas, é a educação. Um Pé de Quê, no Futura, o Brasil Legal e o Programa Legal, na TV Globo… Eu sou uma professora, fico tentando viver as duas coisas juntas. O meu pai tinha isso porque esse meu avô Casé era casado com a Graziela Casé, uma professora muito, mas muito idealista, vocacionada e apaixonada. Ela trabalhou com Anísio Teixeira, Cecília Meireles, fizeram a primeira biblioteca infantil. Meu pai fez o Sítio do Picapau Amarelo acho que querendo honrar essa professora, a mãe dele. Quando eu era menina, as pessoas vinham de uma situação rural trabalhar como domésticas, e quase todas, se não todas, eram analfabetas. A minha avó as ensinava a ler e escrever. Ela dizia: "Se você conhece uma pessoa que não sabe ler e escrever e não ensina para ela, é um crime". Eu ficava até apavorada, porque ela falava muito duramente. Eu acho que sou feita desse pessoal. Tenho muito orgulho de ter vindo de uma família que, sem recursos, sem universidade, foi pioneira na cidade, no país e em suas respectivas... Não digo “profissões” porque ainda nem existiam suas profissões. Eu tento honrar.  [IMAGE=https://revistatrip.uol.com.br/upload/2025/03/67d49d1e03df5/header-regina-interna6.jpg; CREDITS=Christian Gaul; LEGEND=Em 1999, a atriz e apresentadora estampou as Páginas Negras da Trip; ALT_TEXT=] Você tem uma postura de liderança muito forte. Além de ter preparo e talento, você tem uma vocação para aglutinar, juntar a galera, fazer time. Por outro lado, tem essa coisa da atriz, que é diferente, talvez um pouco mais para dentro. Você funciona melhor sozinha ou como uma espécie de capitã, técnica e jogadora do time? Eu nasci atriz dentro de um grupo. E o Asdrúbal trouxe o Trombone não era só um grupo. Apesar do Hamilton Vaz Pereira ter sido sempre um autor e um diretor, a gente criava coletivamente, escrevia coletivamente, improvisava. Nunca consegui pensar individualmente, e isso até hoje é uma coisa que me atrapalha. Todo mundo fala: "escreve um livro". Eu tenho vontade, mas falo que para escrever um livro preciso de umas 10 pessoas de público, todo mundo junto. Sou tão grupal que é difícil. Ao mesmo tempo, eu tive que ser muito autoral. Eu, Tu, Eles foi a primeira vez que alguém me tirou para dançar. Antes eu fiz participações em muitos filmes, mas foi a primeira protagonista. Quase tudo que fiz fui eu que tive a ideia, juntei um grupo, a gente escreveu junto. Então, eu sempre inventei um mundo para mim. No teatro eu não achava lugar para mim, então tive que inventar um, que era o Asdrúbal. Quando eu era novinha e fui para a televisão, eu não ia ser a mocinha na novela. Então fiz a TV Pirata, o Programa Legal, o Brasil Legal. Aquilo tudo não existia na televisão, mas eu tive que primeiro inventar para poder me jogar ali. Eu sempre me acostumei não a mandar, mas a ter total confiança de me jogar.  E nos trabalhos de atriz, como é? No Asdrúbal eu me lembro que uma vez eu virei umas três noites fazendo roupa de foca, que era de pelúcia, e entupia o gabinete na máquina. Eu distribuía filipeta, colava cartaz, pregava cenário na parede. Tudo, todo mundo fazia tudo. É difícil quando eu vou para uma novela e não posso falar que aquele figurino não tem a ver com a minha personagem, que essa casa está muito chique para ela ou acho que aqui no texto, se eu falasse mais normalzão, ia ficar mais legal. Mas eu aprendi. Porque também tem autores e autores. Eu fiz três novelas com papéis de maior relevância. Cambalacho, em que fiz a Tina Pepper, um personagem coadjuvante que ganhou a novela. Foi ao ar em 1986 e até hoje tem gente botando a dancinha e a música no YouTube, cantando. Isso também, tá vendo? É pré-internet e recebo cortes toda hora, porque aquilo já tinha cara de internet. Depois a Dona Lurdes, de Amor de Mãe, e a Zoé, de Todas as Flores. Uma é uma menina preta da periferia de São Paulo. A outra uma mulher nordestina do sertão, com cinco filhos. A terceira é uma truqueira carioca rica que morava na Barra. São três universos, mas as três foram muito fortes. Tenho muito orgulho dessas novelas. Mas quando comecei, pensei: "Gente, como é que vai ser?". Não é o meu programa. Não posso falar que a edição está lenta, que devia apertar. O começo foi difícil, mas depois que peguei a manha de ser funcionária, fazer o meu e saber que não vou ligar para o cenário, para o figurino, para a comida e não sei o quê, falei: "Isso aqui, perto de fazer um programa como o Esquenta ou o Programa Legal, é como férias no Havaí".  Você é do tipo que não aguenta ficar sozinha ou você gosta da sua companhia? Essa é uma coisa que venho perseguindo há alguns anos. Ainda estou assim: sozinha, sabendo que, se quiser, tem alguém ali. Mas ainda apanho muito para ficar sozinha porque, justamente, a sua maior qualidade é sempre o seu maior defeito. Fui criada assim, em uma família que eram três filhas, uma mãe e uma tia. Cinco mulheres num apartamento relativamente pequeno, um banheiro, então uma está escovando os dentes, outra está fazendo xixi, outra está tomando banho, todas no mesmo horário para ir para a escola. Então é muito difícil para mim ficar sozinha, mas tenho buscado muito. Quando falam "você pode fazer um pedido", eu peço para ter mais paciência e para aprender a ficar sozinha.  Você contou agora há pouco que fazia figurinos lá no Asdrúbal e também já vi você falando que sempre aparecia na lista das mais mal vestidas do Brasil. Como é ser julgada permanentemente? Agora já melhorou, mas esse é um aspecto que aparece mais porque existe uma lista de “mais mal vestidas". Se existisse lista para outras transgressões, eu estaria em todas elas. Não só porque sou transgressora, mas porque há uma demanda que eu seja. Quando não sou, o pessoal até estranha. Eu sempre gostei muito de moda, mais que isso, de me expressar através das roupas. E isso saía muito do padrão, principalmente na televisão, do blazer salmão, do nude, da unha com misturinha, do cabelo com escova. Volta e meia vinha, nos primórdios das redes sociais: "Ela não tem dinheiro para fazer uma escova naquele cabelo?". "Não tem ninguém para botar uma roupa normal nela?".  [IMAGE=https://revistatrip.uol.com.br/upload/2025/03/67d49c62141c1/header-regina-interna4.jpg; CREDITS=Christian Gaul; LEGEND=Regina Casé falou à Trip em 1999, quando estampou as Páginas Negras; ALT_TEXT=] Antes da internet, existiam muitas colunas sociais em jornal. Tinha um jornalista no O Globo que me detonava uma semana sim e outra não. Eu nunca vou me esquecer. Ele falava de uma bolsa que eu tinha da Vivienne Westwood, que inclusive juntei muito para poder comprar. Eu era apaixonada por ela, que além de tudo era uma ativista, uma mulher importantíssima na gênese do Sex Pistols e do movimento punk. Ele falava o tempo todo: "Estava não sei onde e veio a Regina com aquela bolsa horrorosa que comprou no Saara". O Saara no Rio corresponde à 25 de março em São Paulo, e são lugares que sempre frequentei, que amo e que compro bolsas também. Eu usava muito torço no cabelo, e ele escrevia: "Lá vem a lavadeira do Abaeté". Mais uma vez, não só sendo preconceituoso, mas achando que estava me xingando de alguma coisa que eu acharia ruim. Eu pensava: nossa, que maravilha, estou parecendo uma lavadeira do Abaeté e não alguém com um blazer salmão, com uma blusa bege, uma bolsa arrumadinha de marca. Pra mim era elogio, mas era chato, porque cria um estigma. E aí um monte de gente, muito burra, vai no rodo e fala: "Ela é cafona, ela é horrorosa". Por isso que acho que fiquei muito tempo nessas listas.  O filme “Ainda Estou Aqui” está sendo um alento para o Brasil, uma coisa bem gostosa de ver, uma obra iluminada. A Fernanda Torres virou uma espécie de embaixadora do Brasil, falando de uma forma muito legal sobre o país, sobre a cultura. Imagino que pra você, que vivenciou essa época no Rio de Janeiro, seja ainda mais especial. Eu vivi aquela época toda e o filme, mesmo sem mostrar a tortura e as barbaridades que aconteceram, reproduz a angústia. Na parte em que as coisas não estão explicitadas, você só percebe que algo está acontecendo, e a angústia que vem dali. Mesmo depois, quando alguma coisa concreta aconteceu, você não sabe exatamente do que está com medo, o que pode acontecer a qualquer momento, porque tudo era tão aleatório, sem justificativa, ninguém era processado, julgado e preso. O filme reproduz essa sensação, mesmo para quem não viveu. É maravilhoso, maravilhoso.  [QUOTE=1219] Não vou dizer que por sorte porque ele tem todos os méritos, mas o filme caiu num momento em que a gente estava muito sofrido culturalmente. Nós, artistas, tínhamos virado bandidos, pessoas que se aproveitam. Eu nunca usei a lei Rouanet, ainda que ache ela muito boa, mas passou-se a usar isso quase como um xingamento, de uma maneira horrível. E todos os artistas muito desrespeitados, inclusive a própria Fernanda, Fernandona, a pessoa que a gente mais tem que respeitar na cultura do país. O filme veio não como uma revanche. Ele veio doce, suave e brilhantemente cuidar dessa ferida. Na equipe tenho muitos amigos, praticamente família, o Walter, a Nanda, a Fernanda. Sou tão amiga da Fernanda quanto da Nanda, sou meio mãe da Nanda, mas sou meio filha da Fernanda, sou meio irmã da Nanda e também da Fernanda. É bem misturado, e convivo muito com as duas. Por acaso, recebi ontem um presente e um cartão de aniversário da Fernandona que é muito impressionante. Tão bonitinho, acho que ela não vai ficar brava se eu mostrar para vocês. O que o cartão diz? Ela diz assim: "Regina, querida, primeiro: meu útero sabe que a Nanda já está com esse Oscar”. Adorei essa frase. "Segundo, estou trabalhando demais, está me esgotando. Teria uma leitura de 14 trechos magníficos, de acadêmicos, que estou preparando essa apresentação para a abertura da Academia [Brasileira de Letras], que está em recesso. O esgotamento acho que é por conta dos quase 100 anos que tenho". Imagina... Com esse trabalho todo. Aí ela faz um desenho lindo de flores com o coração: "Regina da nossa vida, feliz aniversário, feliz sempre da Fernanda". E me manda uma toalhinha bordada lindíssima com um PS: "Fernando [Torres] e eu compramos essa toalhinha de mão no Nordeste numa das temporadas de nossa vida pelo Brasil afora. Aliás, nós comprávamos muito lembranças como essa. Essa que eu lhe envio está até manchadinha, mas ela está feliz porque está indo para a pessoa certa. Está manchadinha porque está guardadinha faz muitos anos". Olha que coisa. Como é que essa mulher com quase 100 anos, com a filha indicada ao Oscar, trabalhando desse jeito, decorando 14 textos, tem tempo de ser tão amorosa, gentil, generosa e me fazer chorar? Não existe. Ela é maravilhosa demais. [IMAGE=https://revistatrip.uol.com.br/upload/2025/03/67d49b9f0f548/header-regina-interna3.jpg; CREDITS=João Pedro Januário; LEGEND=; ALT_TEXT=] Eu queria te ouvir sobre outro assunto. Há alguns anos a menopausa era um tema absolutamente proibido. As mulheres se sentiam mal, os homens, então, saíam correndo. Os médicos não falavam, as famílias não falavam. E é engraçado essa coisa do pêndulo. De repente vira uma onda, artistas falando, saem dezenas de livros sobre o assunto. Como foi para você? Você acha que estamos melhorando na maneira de lidar com as nossas questões enquanto humanidade? É bem complexo. Tem aspectos que acho que estão melhorando muito. Qualquer família que tinha uma pessoa com deficiência antigamente escondia essa pessoa, ela era quase trancada num quarto, onde nem as visitas da casa iam. E hoje em dia todas essas pessoas estão expostas, inclusive ao preconceito e ao sofrimento, mas estão na vida, na rua. Há um tempo não só não podia ter um casal gay casado como não existia nem a expressão "casal gay", porque as pessoas no máximo tinham um caso escondido com outra pessoa. Então em muitos aspectos a gente avançou bastante. Não sei se é porque agora estou ficando bem mais velha, mas acho que esse assunto do etarismo está chegando ainda de uma maneira muito nichada. Se você for assistir a esse meu primeiro TED, eu falo que a gente não pode pegar e repetir, macaquear as coisas dos Estados Unidos. Essa ideia de grupo de apoio. Sinto que essa coisa da menopausa, do etarismo, fica muito de mulher para mulher, um grupo de mulheres daquela idade. Mas não acho que isso faz um garoto de 16 anos entender que eu, uma mulher de 70 anos, posso gostar de basquete, de funk, de sambar, de namorar, de dançar. Isso tudo fica numa bolha bem impermeável. E não acho que a comunicação está indo para outros lados. É mais você, minha amiga, que também está sentindo calores. [QUOTE=1220] Tem uma coisa americana que inventaram que é muito chata. Por exemplo, a terceira idade. Aí vai ter um baile, um monte de velhinhos e velhinhas dançando todos juntos. Claro que é melhor do que ficar em casa deprimido, mas é chato. Acho que essa festa tem que ter todo mundo. Tem que ter os gays, as crianças, todo mundo nessa mesma pista com um DJ bom, com uma batucada boa. Senão você vai numa festa e todas as pessoas são idênticas. Você vai em um restaurante e tem um aquário onde põem as crianças dentro de um vidro enquanto você come. Mas a criança tem que estar na mesa ouvindo o que você está falando, comendo um troço que ela não come normalmente. O menu kids é uma aberração. Os meus filhos comem tudo, qualquer coisa que estiver na mesa, do jeito que for. Mas é tudo separado. Essa coisa de imitar americano, entendeu? Então, acho que essa coisa da menopausa está um pouco ali. Tem que abrir para a gente conversar, tem que falar sobre menopausa com o MC Cabelinho. Eu passei meio batida, porque, por sorte, não tive sintomas físicos mais fortes. Senti um pouco mais de calor, mas como aqui é tão calor e eu sou tão agitada, eu nunca soube que aquilo era específico da menopausa.  Vou mudar um pouco de assunto porque não dá para deixar de falar sobre isso. Uma das melhores entrevistas do Trip FM no ano passado foi com seu marido, o cineasta Estêvão Ciavatta. Ele contou do acidente num passeio a cavalo que o deixou paralisado do pescoço para baixo e com chances de não voltar a andar. E fez uma declaração muito forte sobre o que você representou nessa recuperação surpreendente dele. A expressão "estamos juntos" virou meio banal, mas, de fato, você estava junto ali. Voltando a falar do etarismo, o Estêvão foi muito corajoso de casar com uma mulher que era quase 15 anos mais velha, totalmente estabelecida profissionalmente, conhecida em qualquer lugar, que tinha sido casada com um cara maravilhoso, o Luiz Zerbini, que tinha uma filha, uma roda de amigos muito grande, um símbolo muito sólido, tudo isso. Ele propôs casar comigo, na igreja, com 45 anos. Eu, hippie, do Asdrúbal e tudo, levei um susto, nunca pensei que eu casar. O que aconteceu? Eu levei esse compromisso muito a sério, e não é o compromisso de ficar com a pessoa na saúde, na doença, na alegria, na tristeza. É também, mas é o compromisso de, bom, vamos entrar nessa? Então eu vou aprender como faz isso, como é esse amor, como é essa pessoa, eu vou aprender a te amar do jeito que você é. Acho que o pessoal casa meio de brincadeira, mas eu casei a sério mesmo, e estamos casados há 28 anos. Então, quando aconteceu aquilo, eu falei: ué, a gente resolveu ficar junto e viver o que a vida trouxesse pra gente, então vamos embora. O que der disso, vamos arrumar um jeito, mas estamos juntos. E acho que teve uma coisa que me ajudou muito. O quê? Aqui em casa é tipo pátio dos milagres. Teve isso que aconteceu com o Estêvão, e também a gente ter encontrado o Roque no momento que encontrou [seu filho caçula, hoje com 11 anos, foi adotado pelo casal quando bebê]. A vida que a gente tem hoje é inacreditável. Parece realmente que levou oito anos, o tempo que demorou para encontrar o filho da gente, porque estava perdido em algum lugar, igual a Dona Lurdes, de Amor de Mãe. Essa é a sensação. E a Benedita, quando nasceu, quase morreu, e eu também. Ela teve Apgar [escala que avalia os recém-nascidos] zero, praticamente morreu e viveu. Nasceu superforte, ouvinte, gorda, forte, cabeluda, mas eu tive um descolamento de placenta, e com isso ela aspirou líquido. Ela ficou surda porque a entupiram de garamicina, um antibiótico autotóxico. Foi na melhor das intenções, pra evitar uma pneumonia pelo líquido que tinha aspirado, mas ninguém conhecia muito, eram os primórdios da UTI Neonatal. O que foi para a gente uma tragédia, porque ela nasceu bem. Só que ali aprendi um negócio que ajudou muito nessa história do Estêvão: a lidar com médico. E aprendi a não aceitar os "não". Então quando o cara dizia "você tem que reformar a sua casa, tira a banheira e bota só o chuveiro largo para poder entrar a cadeira de rodas", eu falava: "Como eu vou saber se ele vai ficar pra sempre na cadeira de rodas?".  [QUOTE=1221] Quando a Benedita fala "oi, tudo bem?", ela tem um leve sotaque, anasalado e grave, porque ela só tem os graves, não tem nem médio, nem agudo. Mas ela fala, canta, já ganhou concurso de karaokê. Quando alguém vê a audiometria da Benedita, a perda dela é tão severa, tão profunda, que falam: "Esse exame não é dessa pessoa". É o caso do Estêvão. Quando olham a lesão medular dele e veem ele andando de bicicleta com o Roque, falam: "Não é possível". Por isso eu digo que aqui em casa é o pátio dos milagres. A gente desconfia de tudo que é “não”. É claro que existem coisas que são limitações estruturais, e não adianta a gente querer que seja de outro jeito, mas ajuda muito duvidar e ir avançando a cada "não" até que ele realmente seja intransponível. No caso do Estêvão, acho que ele ficou feliz porque teve perto por perto não só uma onça cuidando e amando, mas uma onça que já tinha entendido isso. Porque se a gente tivesse se acomodado a cada “não”, talvez ele não estivesse do jeito que está hoje. [IMAGE=https://revistatrip.uol.com.br/upload/2025/03/67d49af631476/header-regina-interna2.jpg; CREDITS=João Pedro Januário; LEGEND=; ALT_TEXT=] Eu já vi você falar que essa coisa da onça é um pouco fruto do machismo, que você teve que virar braba para se colocar no meio de grupos que eram majoritariamente de homens, numa época que esse papo do machismo era bem menos entendido. Isso acabou forjando o seu jeito de ser? Com certeza. Eu queria ser homem. Achava que tudo seria mais fácil, melhor. Achava maravilhoso até a minha filha ser mulher. Fiquei assustadíssima. Falei: "Não vou ser capaz, não vou acertar". Aí botei a Benedita no futebol, foi artilheira e tudo, e fui cercando com uma ideia nem feminista, nem machista, mas de que o masculino ia ser melhor pra ela, mais fácil. Mas aí aprendi com a Benedita não só a amar as mulheres, mas a me amar como mulher, grávida, dando de mamar, criando outra mulher, me relacionando com amigas, com outras mulheres. Isso tudo veio depois da Benedita. Mas se você falar "antigamente o machismo"... Vou te dizer uma coisa. Se eu estou no carro e falo para o motorista “é ali, eu já vim aqui, você pode dobrar à direita”, ele pergunta assim: “Seu Estêvão, você sabe onde é para dobrar?”. Aí eu falo: “Vem cá, você quer que compre um pau para dizer pra você para dobrar à direita? Vou ter que botar toda vez que eu sentar aqui? Porque não é possível, estou te dizendo que eu já vim ali”. É muito impressionante, porque não é em grandes discussões, é o tempo todo. É porque a gente não repara, sabe? Quer dizer, eu reparo, você que é homem talvez não repare. Nesses momentos mais difíceis, na hora de lidar com os problemas de saúde da Benedita ou com o acidente punk do Estêvão, o que você acha que te ajudou mais: os anos de terapia ou o Terreiro de Gantois, casa de Candomblé que você frequenta em Salvador? As duas coisas, porque a minha terapia também foi muito aberta. E não só o Gantois como o Sacré-Coeur de Marie. Eu tenho uma formação católica. Outro dia eu ri muito porque a Mãe Menininha se declarava católica em sua biografia, e perguntaram: "E o Candomblé"? Ela falava: “Candomblé é outra coisa”. E eu vejo mais ou menos assim. Não é que são duas religiões, eu não posso pegar e jogar a criança junto com a água da bacia. É claro que eu tenho todas as críticas que você quiser à Igreja Católica, mas eu fui criada por essa avó Graziela, que era professora, uma mulher genial, e tão católica que, te juro, ela conversava com Nossa Senhora como eu estou conversando com você. Quando ela recebia uma graça muito grande, ligava para mim e para minhas irmãs e falava: "Venham aqui, porque eu recebi uma graça tão grande que preciso de vocês para agradecer comigo, sozinha não vou dar conta." Estudei em colégio de freiras a minha vida inteira, zero trauma de me sentir reprimida, me dava bem, gosto do universo, da igreja.

Essa história é maravilhosa. O Caetano [Veloso] disse: "Mãe Menininha quer que você vá lá". Eu fiquei apavorada, porque achei que ela ia fazer uma revelação, tinha medo que fosse um vaticínio... Até que tomei coragem e fui. Cheguei lá com o olho arregalado, entrei no quarto, aquela coisa maravilhosa, aquela presença.. Aí eu pedi a benção e perguntei o que ela queria. Ela falou: "Nada não, queria conhecer a Tina Pepper". Então, não só o Gantuar, o Candomblé como um todo, só me trouxe coisas boas e acolhida. A minha relação com a Bahia vem desde os 12 anos de idade, depois eu acabei recebendo até a cidadania de tamanha paixão e dedicação. É incrível porque eu nunca procurei. No episódio da Benedita, no dia seguinte já recebi de várias pessoas orientações do que eu devia fazer. No episódio do Estêvão também, não só do Gantuar, mas da [Maria] Bethânia, e falavam: "Olha, você tem que fazer isso, você tem que cuidar daquilo". Então, como é que eu vou negar isso? Porque isso tudo está aqui dentro. Então, acho que você tem que ir pegando da vida, que nem a Dona Darlene do “Eu Tu Eles”, que ficou com os três maridos. A vida vai passando por você e você vai guardando as coisas que foram boas e tentando se livrar das ruins. A gente sabe que você tem uma rede de amizades absurda, é muito íntima de meio mundo. Eu queria brincar daquela história de te deixar sozinha numa ilha, sem internet, com todos os confortos, livros, música. Você pode ligar à vontade para os seus filhos, pro seu marido, mas só tem uma pessoa de fora do seu círculo familiar para quem você pode ligar duas vezes por semana. Quem seria o escolhido para você manter contato com a civilização? É curioso que meus grandes amigos não têm celular. Hermano [Vianna] não fala no celular, Caetano só fala por e-mail, é uma loucura, não é nem WhatsApp. Acho que escolheria o Caetano, porque numa ilha você precisa de um farol. Tenho outros faróis, mas o Caetano foi, durante toda a minha vida, o meu farol mais alto, meu norte. E acho que não suportaria ficar sem falar com ele. 

How did complex life evolve? Where did space-time come from? Will computers ever understand language like we do? How did geometry create modern physics? These are just a few of the big and bold questions that we'll be exploring in the latest season of Quanta's interview podcast, “The Joy of Why,” starting March 20, and released every other Thursday.

In this week's episode, scientists Charles Liu and George Musser find joy in daily observations through science and writing. Charles Liu is a professor of astrophysics at the City University of New York's College of Staten Island and an associate with the Hayden Planetarium and Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History. His research focuses on colliding galaxies, starburst galaxies, quasars, and the star formation history of the universe. In addition to his research publications, he writes books and online content for students and general audiences, The Cosmos Explained and The Handy Quantum Physics Answer Book. He hosts The LIUniverse with Dr. Charles Liu, a half-hour dose of cosmic conversation with scientists, educators and students about the cosmos, scientific frontiers, scifi, comics, and more. George Musser is a contributing editor at Scientific American magazine, a contributing writer for Quanta magazine, and the author of three books on fundamental physics for the general public, most recently Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation. He is a co-recipient of two National Magazine Awards and sundry other prizes. He lives in Glen Ridge with his wife, his daughter, and his daughter's schnauzer. Resources: Magnum ForceThe LIUniverseNext Stop WonderlandHubble Space TelescopeWendy Freedman InterviewDark MatterDark EnergyJanna LevinSean CarrollRome Song (SNL)D&D LiveBooks:A full list of the books and authors mentioned in this episode is available here.

Soy muy oyente de podcast, pero nunca me había atrevido a ponerme con audiolibros. Ahora, aprovechando que quiero hacer una review a fondo de eBiblio, he probado con este contenido. Por lo pronto, en la app de eBiblio para iPhone.Y yo, que soy un poco… especialita, he decidido empezar por un libro en catalán, sin ser yo catalanohablante: en concreto “Quanta, quanta guerra…”, de Mercé Rodoreda: https://clubeditor.cat/en/books/quanta-quanta-guerra-3/He de confesar que mi primer intento fue un libro de ensayo: “Todos los cuerpos”, de Olivia Laing publicado por Planeta (https://www.planetadelibros.com/libro-todos-los-cuerpos/347561) pero al oír las primeras líneas con una voz sintética peor que la de Google Maps, abandoné y busqué otra opción.Dime qué te ha parecido este capitulo y deja un comentario en ivoox o Spotify.Si lo prefieres, envíame un correo electrónico a la dirección de gmail almadailypodcast. En redes soy @almajefi y me encuentras en X / Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, Instagram y Telegram.

(0:00:34) Al: My name is Al, and we are here today to talk about cottagecore games. (0:00:35) Dalan: And my name is Dallen (0:00:43) Al: I honestly thought it was Dalen, not Dalen. (0:00:46) Dalan: Uh it that I do get that a lot it is it is Dallen (0:00:49) Dalan: Uh, it’s mostly the way it’s spelled. I think that confuses people. Uh, it is more common to have double li (0:00:53) Al: » Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that one. Not spelling, either. (0:00:56) Dalan: Instead of the two a’s so that’s that’s the main reason (0:01:03) Dalan: I have met… one person who spells… (0:01:05) Dalan: it the same as me and that was in Utah where there are about 50 people named (0:01:10) Dalan: Dalin Persuarian. It’s not quite that populous but yeah. (0:01:12) Al: Right, okay, so I see the issue, I see why it’s not a name that I am very much aware (0:01:20) Dalan: Yes. It’s… there is a particular culture. Yeah. So I’m always surprised finding (0:01:20) Al: of if it’s within a particular community, very prevalent within a certain area of the (0:01:24) Al: United States. Yeah, they do exist outside of there. It’s funny, because sometimes I (0:01:28) Dalan: people outside that place who have the same name and I’m like come on. They do (0:01:35) Dalan: because it is the name other people have. (0:01:38) Al: only realise how people’s names are pronounced when they come on the podcast. (0:01:41) Dalan: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Nami, I had that problem for a while. Yeah. I have to remind myself (0:01:42) Al: It was the same with Nami, who of course, that’s not how I pronounced his name for a long time. (0:01:49) Dalan: sometimes. Sorry, Nami. (0:01:52) Al: Regularly, regularly. (0:01:53) Dalan: Yeah. (0:01:54) Al: Anyway, welcome, Dallin, to the podcast again. This is your second episode. (0:01:57) Dalan: Thank you. Second time. Only took like a little bit over a year, I think. I was (0:02:04) Dalan: here. (0:02:05) Dalan: 2023 August ish or September I want to say it was fishing month yep yep because I was the only (0:02:08) Al: It was the fishing month, wasn’t it? (0:02:12) Dalan: other person who owned a play date that you do yeah yeah I have not touched that in a long time (0:02:14) Al: Oh, that’s it. Yeah, we did the Playdate one. That’s what it was. That was good. (0:02:20) Al: We should see if there are any more Playdate games to play. (0:02:23) Dalan: that would be fun yeah I’ll figure out one where I put it and then to uh charge it I brought it (0:02:28) Al: Yeah, I need to charge mine up. Thankfully, mine is here. I have it in my hand because it just (0:02:30) Dalan: I think I brought it with me - oh, that’s nice. (0:02:33) Al: sits on my desk. I know where it is, but it’s not charged because I don’t have the dock that (0:02:36) Dalan: Mmm, the dock still… probably not, no. (0:02:38) Al: I have to release any more. (0:02:40) Dalan: I, uh, I think I took it with me to the Japan trip I went on this summer. (0:02:45) Dalan: Or, I can’t remember if I did and then never used it or if I was like, “Yeah, no, I’m not gonna use that and left it home.” (0:02:46) Al: hmm fair enough anyway so dallan is here to talk to me about a game that I have definitely (0:02:51) Dalan: What did it do? Either way, I did not play it. (0:03:01) Al: not played and a name that i’m definitely going to mix up the order of words in the name because (0:03:01) Dalan: Yes. (0:03:06) Dalan: That’s okay. (0:03:08) Al: it is definitely the wrong order but this game is called honkai impact third right it’s (0:03:13) Dalan: That is correct. (0:03:16) Al: not third impact it’s impact third is it the third impact game (0:03:17) Dalan: No, because, well, no. (0:03:24) Dalan: It is the third Hong Kai game maybe, kind of. (0:03:27) Al: maybe interesting (0:03:30) Dalan: We’ll get, I’ll go into that a little bit about how crazy that all is. (0:03:31) Al: yeah we’ll talk about we’ll talk about that when we talk about it (0:03:36) Al: for some reason we’re going to talk about a honkai game uh we’ll (0:03:39) Dalan: I’m as confused as you are, listeners. (0:03:42) Dalan: But, you know, slow, I did, I did, I didn’t think you would take me up on it. (0:03:43) Al: You suggested it, not me. (0:03:46) Al: You said it. (0:03:47) Dalan: But there is enough to talk about. (0:03:49) Dalan: So I, and I will be trying to focus mostly just on the farming stuff. (0:03:54) Dalan: Because there are many things I could blab about. (0:03:57) Dalan: And I need you to hold me back. (0:04:00) Al: I mean, look, I’ll be honest, if someone comes to me and says, “How about a podcast (0:04:04) Al: episode on this?” and it even tangentially connects to the podcast, I will say yes, (0:04:10) Al: because as I’ve said before, the hardest part of this podcast is not the editing, (0:04:15) Al: it’s not the podcasting, it’s not the news, it is not the actual recording, (0:04:20) Al: it is figuring out which episode is going to be which. (0:04:24) Dalan: I’ll take a note of it. I have a couple of games that I’ve played recently that I think could fit into that, so we’ll also see if those will come up in future episodes. (0:04:36) Dalan: Do we want to talk about what we’ve been up to lately then? (0:04:36) Al: it’s fine. Yeah, let’s do it. What have you been up to? (0:04:40) Dalan: Yeah, so I am trying to enjoy the last pieces of my holidays before I go back to the college grind to have some other stuff I’ve been working on. (0:04:54) Dalan: So most of the games I’m writing are kind of like last week, but I’ve played a little bit this week. (0:05:00) Dalan: I have obviously been playing Honkai games because those are relevant to what we’re talking about. (0:05:08) Dalan: I also started Potioncraft recently because during the holidays we remembered the family steam-sharing thing got updated, and I guess one of my siblings bought it at some point. (0:05:20) Dalan: So I’ve been playing that. Are you familiar with Potioncraft at all? (0:05:22) Al: And I think I’ve heard of it, I don’t know if I’ve, I don’t know if I’ve actually. (0:05:26) Dalan: Right. (0:05:28) Dalan: Yeah, I find it a pretty relaxing game. (0:05:32) Dalan: There were a couple nights where I was just kind of playing it an hour each night before bed. I could see myself kind of continuing that. (0:05:40) Dalan: It’s basically a game where you make potions, but the way you do that is interesting, where you basically have this map that you’re moving around your little potion on. (0:05:54) Dalan: You’re putting in different ingredients that have set patterns, and so you’re trying to put in the right ingredients to get to the location on the map you want to in order to get the potion. (0:06:06) Dalan: And so it’s mostly that gameplay and then balancing that with how do I get more materials to make my potions and then selling them to customers and stuff. (0:06:16) Dalan: Pretty relaxed. I think I made it to like day eight or something. There’s a progress system, but it’s basically just like, “Have you made these kinds of potions?” (0:06:26) Dalan: “Did you discover being able to do this thing?” So it’s pretty open, I’d say. (0:06:30) Al: I like the look of the graphics, it’s very distinct. (0:06:34) Dalan: It’s very… Yes, it’s got a nice feel to it. I think they did just have an update, which I was surprised by. I think this past December, like last month, I’m not certain. (0:06:46) Dalan: It seemed like it was what it said on the store page when I looked it up. (0:06:48) Al: But yeah, it’s almost like it’s on like old parchment paper, it’s like kind of CPR based, (0:06:54) Al: just I really like the look of the farming looks like it could be fun. (0:06:54) Dalan: Yeah. There is a bit of farming, yes. (0:07:00) Al: It looks very simple. It’s basically just it’s more gardening, I guess, (0:07:02) Dalan: Yes. Yeah, it’s basically like you get your materials for the day and then you water them every day, etc. (0:07:04) Al: rather than farming, right? You’re planting. Yeah. (0:07:12) Dalan: You can plant new things, and I think they added more functionality to kind of expand it, but I am not at that point in the game. (0:07:20) Al: But what I will say is the actual potion making looks like I would absolutely. (0:07:24) Dalan: I see also just finicky (0:07:28) Al: I do not like the kind of very specific motions and having to do that. (0:07:35) Al: I think that sort of stuff is fun in one very specific circumstance and that’s in party (0:07:40) Al: games. (0:07:41) Dalan: Yeah (0:07:42) Al: So I will play Mario Party and WarioWare anytime somebody suggests them to do these little (0:07:45) Dalan: Right (0:07:48) Al: weird motions and stuff. (0:07:50) Al: I know it’s not like motion control, I know you’re using your mouse, but I don’t want (0:07:55) Al: have to pick up a pestle and mortar it. (0:07:58) Al: And I don’t want to have to stir a cauldron and pour it, no, it’s too detailed and specific (0:08:04) Dalan: All right (0:08:07) Al: for me, I think. (0:08:08) Dalan: Yeah, that’s fair enough I will say like the (0:08:11) Dalan: The fact that you’re able to add water to kind of mess with that that is the core gameplay (0:08:16) Dalan: So if it doesn’t interest you probably none of the quality of life things they’re adding to it are gonna change that for you (0:08:22) Dalan: But there are some nice things where it’s like once you have a potion that you like like if you made really strong version (0:08:28) Dalan: Of a potion and you’re like that was annoying to do but I want to have that a lot (0:08:31) Dalan: you can save it and it will just automatically make it with the increase. (0:08:34) Dalan: for you so it’s more about like kind of exploring the map and discovering new (0:08:39) Dalan: things and then being like oh is there like a more optimized route I can take (0:08:42) Dalan: to this to you know cut back on ingredients or something so but yes (0:08:47) Dalan: that’s there’s some finicky-ness to it so if you don’t enjoy that you probably (0:08:52) Dalan: yeah I don’t think any of the changes are really gonna fix that for you (0:08:54) Al: Yeah, it’s like, it’s like when every time I hear about a new Soulslike game, I’m like, (0:09:01) Dalan: Mm. Right. (0:09:02) Al: sounds great. I’m still not going to like it because I do not like the fundamental part (0:09:07) Al: of the game. And so I’m not going to try it. Except one, there is one that has interested (0:09:10) Dalan: Right. (0:09:13) Al: me and that’s another crab’s treasure. That’s something the only Soulslike that has ever (0:09:15) Dalan: Ah, true. (0:09:18) Dalan: Yeah, I think that one… (0:09:20) Dalan: It’s… I mean just by visuals it seems more friendly, and then also I think like… (0:09:25) Dalan: um… (0:09:26) Dalan: The problem I tend to have with Soul’s likes is that like I want to do (0:09:30) Dalan: a build that works, but it… and for my playstyle, but it feels like a battle to figure out what I enjoy (0:09:36) Dalan: while also (0:09:38) Dalan: trying not to waste all my materials on making some (0:09:40) Dalan: things I won’t like to play, so, a little, a little stressful. (0:09:42) Al: It has a lot more options as well in terms of difficulty and stuff, which I quite like. (0:09:50) Dalan: Mmm, that’s nice. (0:09:51) Al: Not that I’m going to use them necessarily, I’m not going to use them, because I love (0:09:56) Al: how it kind of ties them in in the same way where it’s got like the easy mode is basically (0:10:01) Al: just you have a gun that sits on your head that kills anybody. (0:10:02) Dalan: you’re right that’s good (0:10:04) Al: I love how ridiculous that is. (0:10:05) Al: I’m not going to use that, but having that leads me to liking it more purely because (0:10:10) Al: it allows me for more. (0:10:12) Al: around those options, because there’s just been thought gone into that, which, which then leads (0:10:19) Al: to a game that I’m more likely to like. So it’s not, I don’t know if that’s if that’s obvious enough (0:10:25) Al: how I’m explaining it, but yeah, but I think that the the idea of actually having difficulty options (0:10:32) Al: generally leads to a game being designed more like I would enjoy it. (0:10:36) Dalan: Mm. That makes sense. It’s, uh, having, like, more flexible design or ways to interact with it versus feeling like there’s sort of one path you have to take. (0:10:48) Dalan: Maybe that’s not the right way to put it, but I kind of get what you’re saying. (0:10:49) Al: Yeah, I don’t know. It’s hard to explain. But like, if we just took a, you know, standards (0:10:58) Al: Souls game, like Elden Ring, right? So we take Elden Ring. If you just put a difficulty (0:11:03) Al: level in that, that I don’t think I would enjoy that game, because it’s still the same (0:11:07) Dalan: Right. (0:11:08) Al: game is just easier, right? Like it’s not, I don’t just, I don’t dislike those games (0:11:09) Dalan: Yeah. (0:11:10) Dalan: Yeah, 100%. (0:11:11) Dalan: It’s not built around that. (0:11:14) Al: because they’re hard. I dislike those games because of their whole philosophy. (0:11:19) Al: And it just feels like another crab’s treasure does that differently. (0:11:20) Dalan: Right, 100%. (0:11:25) Al: Anyway, potion craft. (0:11:26) Dalan: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me. (0:11:29) Al: Yeah, maybe. (0:11:29) Dalan: Yep, that’s Potion Craft. (0:11:32) Dalan: I could see that being an episode topic at some point, (0:11:34) Dalan: But anyway, I– (0:11:36) Dalan: Started Warframe recently. Well, that’s maybe– (0:11:40) Dalan: Started is maybe the wrong word. (0:11:42) Dalan: So… (0:11:44) Dalan: This game– Are you familiar with this game at all? (0:11:46) Al: I am not. (0:11:48) Dalan: Okay, Warframe… It’s kind of like– Are you familiar with Destiny? (0:11:53) Al: I am aware of it and I have seen some gameplay. (0:11:56) Dalan: Okay, we’ll do the most basic version. Warframe is Space Ninjas. That’s pretty much the game. (0:12:02) Dalan: You go around space, you fight things with friends, and (0:12:06) Dalan: materials to upgrade your things, and it is a completely for you to play game. (0:12:12) Dalan: All the money you spend is for cosmetics and, like, (0:12:15) Dalan: speeding up timers, which are basically just crafting things. So it’s– (0:12:21) Dalan: Has been going for a long time, so much so that the first time I played it was actually in 2013. (0:12:26) Dalan: And… (0:12:27) Al: Yeah, this game says it was released in March 2013. It was released two days after my first child was born. (0:12:30) Dalan: Yes. (0:12:35) Dalan: Yeah, yeah, and (0:12:35) Al: Yeah. (0:12:36) Dalan: I was solidly still a child at this point. (0:12:40) Dalan: The reason I didn’t stick around with it is, (0:12:43) Dalan: one, it was a bit overwhelming, (0:12:45) Dalan: and I don’t know if my computer could handle it at the time. (0:12:47) Dalan: And two, I believe maybe a week prior, (0:12:50) Dalan: I had told my mother that I was not interested (0:12:53) Dalan: in playing an M-rated game ever, and she hugged me. (0:12:55) Al: Yeah, well, I tell my mom I don’t swear, so. (0:12:56) Dalan: And then this game was M-rated, (0:12:58) Dalan: and I immediately felt strong feelings of guilt (0:13:01) Dalan: for being like, “This is kind of fun.” (0:13:05) Dalan: so I did not return that. (0:13:06) Dalan: I’m playing it on the television, and currently living with family, and no stinks have been raised. (0:13:19) Al: There are other things you do to disappoint them instead, that’s the thing. (0:13:21) Dalan: Yes, yes, very true. (0:13:23) Dalan: Like living in their basement. (0:13:25) Al: If you’re worried about how someone thinks about a certain thing that you do, (0:13:28) Al: just do something worse. That’s how it works, right? (0:13:30) Dalan: True. Yeah, I think that is the best method. (0:13:34) Dalan: Anyway, but yeah, I started playing that because we had (0:13:37) Dalan: My sister and her husband came over for the holidays and (0:13:42) Dalan: Her husband’s been playing it a lot longer (0:13:44) Dalan: But my sister was like I want to download this to see if we can play it because I can’t play it on my laptop (0:13:48) Dalan: And she kind of gave up on that pretty quick because she didn’t like the controller (0:13:53) Dalan: Inputs, but I was like oh this game’s kind of fun (0:13:55) Dalan: So I might be playing with that that with them in the future which would be fun because I don’t get to hang out with (0:14:01) Dalan: Them as much anymore on the count of them living in a different place (0:14:05) Dalan: So yeah warframe not (0:14:07) Dalan: But that’s interesting game and then there are lots of other games I could talk about but I’ll just quickly mention (0:14:14) Dalan: 1000 I think it’s x resist. I don’t know if it’s times or what I don’t know what it means yet (0:14:19) Dalan: But that is a game. I should be playing more of it’s just (0:14:24) Dalan: Draining because it’s a very involved sci-fi story that I want to soak in. Have you heard of it? (0:14:29) Al: Fair enough. No, I have not even heard of this game, no. (0:14:30) Dalan: Also, let me pull it out all the strange games (0:14:36) Dalan: Was like a game that was popular in a couple circles (0:14:38) Al: Oh, this is one of the ones that was added to Bellatro. (0:14:42) Dalan: Yes, yes, it was there I do remember that yeah, so this is like this is sort of a far future sci-fi story (0:14:51) Dalan: it’s (0:14:52) Dalan: kind of some people might kind of put it in the realm of a walking sim I guess but it’s it’s (0:14:58) Dalan: Interesting. It’s a lot of going around talking to characters and it has some interesting kind of time (0:15:05) Dalan: Compilation mechanics where you’re flipping back (0:15:06) Dalan: and forth between different scenes sometimes to find different information or go places. (0:15:12) Dalan: So there’s a little bit of that but the gameplay mechanics mostly serve as a catalyst for the story (0:15:17) Dalan: and like what’s going on. The basic premise I’ll say is that it seems to be a far off future where (0:15:27) Dalan: everyone is now like clones of this one person who could survive this deadly illness and you’re (0:15:33) Dalan: playing as this person called the (0:15:36) Dalan: watcher because everyone is named by (0:15:38) Dalan: their roles and you’re trying to you’re (0:15:42) Dalan: kind of figuring out what happened in (0:15:44) Dalan: the past and it seems like that’s going (0:15:46) Dalan: to lead to some sort of rebellion thing (0:15:48) Dalan: going on so it’s really interesting it’s (0:15:51) Dalan: tackles a lot of different themes (0:15:53) Dalan: there’s like it’s kind of about Asian (0:15:55) Dalan: diaspora and Hong Kong protests which (0:15:59) Dalan: is not what I would expect going into (0:16:00) Al: Oh heavy (0:16:00) Dalan: this game but it’s also about a lot of (0:16:02) Dalan: other things so covers a large range of (0:16:06) Dalan: I would recommend it. It was a big narrative game last year that people liked, but it didn’t really get nominated for anything. (0:16:15) Al: I don’t think I’ve ever actually played a walking sim and so I can’t say that I don’t (0:16:20) Dalan: Mm-hmm, I see. (0:16:23) Al: like walking sims, but what I will say is I think walking sims are everything about (0:16:28) Al: games that I don’t like and therefore I would assume that I would not like them. (0:16:34) Dalan: To me, this is more like reading a sci-fi novel with full visuals and experiences. (0:16:35) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly and it’s like I sort of like the kind of one of the (0:16:45) Al: people would argue it’s not a walking sim, but I think some people would argue it is (0:16:49) Al: a walking sim. What’s it called? Why have I forgotten the name of it? Big Sony game, (0:16:57) Al: they made a TV series of it. The Last of Us, yeah. I know it has some combat and gameplay (0:16:59) Dalan: Oh, the last of us? (0:17:04) Al: to it, however, feels very narrative heavy and I guess the kind of famous walking sim (0:17:11) Al: is more, is the Overwatch, not Overwatch, over. (0:17:14) Dalan: Uh, Firewatch. (0:17:15) Al: Firewatch, there we go. Names are too similar. There’s too many words. There are more words for (0:17:18) Dalan: It’s true, there are many similar names. (0:17:21) Al: your games, use other words. Firewatch is kind of the big one. And these games, it’s like, (0:17:28) Al: I’m not against story in game, but I guess I don’t like being in control of story because it takes (0:17:38) Al: two times longer than if they were just telling me the story. So, like, I love watching TV and (0:17:46) Al: but if I were to have to press A constantly to get the next bit of the film or TV series, (0:17:51) Al: I would not do it. (0:17:52) Al: on. (0:17:53) Dalan: Right (0:17:55) Dalan: Yeah, and I I think it very much depends on the game (0:17:58) Dalan: like there are some where I would say that is kind of more of a (0:18:02) Dalan: Just feeling kind of bored and I almost feel like I’m doing a disservice by calling it a walking sim because there’s so much (0:18:09) Dalan: Like I don’t know it like I said, it feels like us (0:18:13) Dalan: it kind of feels like walking around inside of a TV scene for me where I feel like I’m (0:18:20) Dalan: experiencing like this setting and trying to figure out what’s going on. (0:18:23) Dalan: I don’t know, but on the other hand, I’m someone who like tends to not watch as many TV or films because like I don’t like, well, I’ll have to dig into that aspect of my psyche later, but I think some of the control I enjoy being able to take it at my own pace and see what’s going on. (0:18:36) Al: Interesting. Well, anyway. (0:18:44) Dalan: Yeah, that’s that’s a wrap for me. Let’s hear about your week. So it’s not just me talking the whole episode. (0:18:50) Al: I have finally started playing Rusty’s Retirement. So I, for people who aren’t aware, the reason (0:18:57) Al: I wasn’t playing Rusty’s Retirement before was because I work for a client and so I use (0:19:04) Al: their machine, and I can’t just– (0:19:06) Al: I don’t want to install things on that machine, so I obviously do not have Rustys retirement installed on my work machine, but what I realized I can do is I have it on my Steam Deck. Now, granted, it is not great on the Steam Deck because it is not full screen, you can’t like change where it is, you’ve just got your little thing, but I have it running on my Steam Deck on, I’ve got the Steam Deck dock sitting on my desk, and so I just have my Steam Deck sitting open, charging, playing Rustys Retirement on my Steam Deck. (0:19:16) Dalan: Mmm. (0:19:34) Al: charging playing Rusty’s retirement. (0:19:37) Al: I’ve not done this very long, I think this is only my second day of doing it. (0:19:40) Al: But I thought this was an interesting way of trying to use play with the game and see how it fares like that. (0:19:46) Al: I think it could do really well like that, but there would have to be a few changes for it to work optimally. (0:19:54) Al: Obviously being in full screen and the, you know, it doesn’t have any gamepad support. (0:20:02) Al: So we’d have to have those to be really good. (0:20:06) Al: Screen makes it a lot better to work with than just using the analog sticks or the touchpads. (0:20:13) Al: And because of what its gameplay is, obviously you’re not actually interacting with it very much. (0:20:18) Al: So the interaction not being ideal doesn’t make it dreadful. (0:20:23) Al: So that’s one. (0:20:24) Al: The other thing that I have been absolutely obsessed with over the last week is Pokémon Legends Arceus, you know, just three years after release. (0:20:33) Al: I did play it when it first came out, but some– (0:20:36) Al: Keen listeners will remember that nearly two years ago, (0:20:40) Al: I had a terrible, terrible situation (0:20:44) Al: where my main Switch died, and I lost all of my Pokemon saves (0:20:47) Al: except one. (0:20:49) Al: And this was the only set of Pokemon games on the Switch (0:20:54) Al: I didn’t have a save for. (0:20:56) Al: Now I’ve been slowly building them up. (0:20:58) Al: So I don’t have all of them sorted. (0:21:01) Al: I just have one from each generation, (0:21:03) Al: one from each set of games now. (0:21:07) Al: I’d never played it a second time. (0:21:09) Al: I play most Pokemon games two times (0:21:10) Al: because I’ll buy both games, and I’ll play one (0:21:14) Al: just reasonably quickly, and then I’ll (0:21:16) Al: play one as generally a Professor Oak Challenge, (0:21:20) Al: but sometimes something else. (0:21:22) Al: So I’d never done a second playthrough of Legends Arceus. (0:21:25) Al: And so I was like, well, it’s time to do that, I guess. (0:21:28) Al: And let’s do a Professor Oak Challenge. (0:21:30) Al: And it was quite fun, Professor Oak Challenge. (0:21:32) Al: I like how they’re all very different nowadays (0:21:34) Al: Cause you’ve got like, um. (0:21:36) Al: Um, let’s go and brilliant diamond shining Pearl, which are kind of how they’re more (0:21:42) Al: like how professor challenges would have been in the older games, you know, kind of standard (0:21:49) Al: progression with gyms and catching and stuff like that. (0:21:52) Al: But let’s go had, uh, the catch combo, which meant you could get XP really quickly, um, (0:22:01) Al: and kind of sped up the first one, uh, then you obviously have sort (0:22:07) Al: is the only series of switch games that I’ve not done a professor of challenging now, which (0:22:11) Al: I’ll probably do at some point, which I think has. (0:22:12) Dalan: Yeah, I was gonna say like how does it seems like that gets a little trickier with the more open world ones (0:22:18) Al: So yeah, so obviously then you’ve got, you’ve got scarlet and violet. (0:22:18) Dalan: Obviously sword and shield isn’t quite there yet, but it’s got the wild area (0:22:24) Al: I, I love how ridiculous it is. (0:22:27) Al: I think I can’t remember exactly how many ways. (0:22:30) Al: I don’t know whether it’s quite 300, but it’s, it’s over 200 Pokemon you catch before you (0:22:34) Dalan: My goodness! (0:22:35) Al: do the first thing. (0:22:36) Al: Um, and yeah, it’s kind of ridiculous, but I also kind of love it because there’s (0:22:42) Dalan: There’s a charm there (0:22:43) Al: there, it is, it’s very front loaded. (0:22:47) Al: So you do that and then you just absolutely whiz through the story after that, which is (0:22:52) Al: like, I have my, you know, level 50 Pokemon killing the first gym sort of thing. (0:22:56) Dalan: Yeah. (0:22:57) Al: And it’s like wild, but I also like, yeah, but yeah, well, exactly. (0:23:00) Dalan: Like, “Welcome to your journey,” and (laughing) (0:23:04) Dalan: don’t know what’s coming. (0:23:06) Al: But I also like how there are so many Pokemon you can just catch in the wild now. (0:23:13) Al: And that’s the same for Legends Arceus. (0:23:15) Al: There’s so many Pokemon that you don’t have to evolve, you can just catch all of them (0:23:19) Al: in the wild. (0:23:20) Dalan: Wow (0:23:21) Al: I really like that part of it. (0:23:24) Al: So yeah, so I guess Legends Arceus was kind of a kind of between the two. (0:23:29) Al: So I think you have like 60 or so in the first region, and then it gets smaller and smaller (0:23:34) Dalan: Right (0:23:35) Al: as you go. (0:23:36) Al: It felt pretty well balanced in terms of how many Pokémon you have to get for the first (0:23:41) Al: three areas at least, and then the last two were quite quick. But yeah, well, the last area would (0:23:48) Al: have been quick if it weren’t for Spiritomb. Oh my word. I love Legends Arceus, and I love it even (0:23:52) Dalan: - True, yeah. (0:23:56) Al: more now that I’ve done a second playthrough. I just love so much about it. But Spiritomb, (0:24:02) Dalan: But yeah, no, I that’s understandable. (0:24:04) Al: I did not enjoy it. It’s like… (0:24:06) Al: 107 wisps across this huge game was not fun. Yeah, it is. (0:24:11) Dalan: It’s kind of a lot. (0:24:13) Dalan: Yeah, I never finished Legends Arceus, but I I did enjoy playing that game a lot. (0:24:19) Dalan: And I do think that is a game that could lend itself pretty well to that kind of (0:24:23) Dalan: Professor Oak challenge, because it kind of does let you do the areas as you want to. (0:24:28) Dalan: Like, obviously, it’s like, OK, now you can go to the next area. (0:24:30) Dalan: and that’s kind of encouraged, but you can also just stick around. (0:24:32) Dalan: and keep doing stuff in that one spot. (0:24:34) Dalan: So it’s pretty cool. (0:24:36) Al: Yeah, yeah, I just played the story until it said right now go do the Lord to at the (0:24:40) Dalan: Yeah. (0:24:40) Al: end of this area. And I’m like, I’m going to catch all the Pokemon first. And it didn’t (0:24:44) Dalan: Yep. (0:24:44) Al: feel forced. It felt like I was just kind of cleaning up as I went. Whereas quite a (0:24:48) Dalan: Yeah. (0:24:49) Al: lot of Professor Oak challenges, they feel like you’re like, no, I’m going to stay in (0:24:53) Al: this area and I’m going to battle this specific Pokemon, which gives the most XP before the (0:24:54) Dalan: Yeah. (0:24:59) Al: first gym to evolve my level 36 starter. (0:25:04) Dalan: It’s a fight against the game (0:25:06) Al: Exactly, exactly. Whereas the way this game works is much more like, no, I’m actually (0:25:11) Al: playing it how they wanted me to play it. Now they didn’t expect that I would necessarily (0:25:15) Al: catch absolutely everything before the next area, but there’s absolutely no forcing there. (0:25:21) Al: It definitely feels designed like that. (0:25:22) Dalan: Yeah, honestly, I think I should have played the game more like that because I kind of wanted to keep the story going but (0:25:27) Dalan: At the I was I was torn between wanting to like see how things were progressing and also being like (0:25:34) Al: Yeah. Yeah. (0:25:35) Dalan: Because it’s sort of fun it’s it’s satisfying to move around and to to throw the pokeballs and stuff (0:25:40) Dalan: I haven’t really touched scarlet and violet. I think I (0:25:44) Dalan: Might have briefly tried playing it in Japanese as practice and then I was like, oh, yeah (0:25:49) Dalan: I’m still terrible at Japanese. So I gave up a bet (0:25:53) Dalan: But I do I would like to return to it at some point and did Arceus as well (0:25:58) Dalan: I think that would be a really fun time because I did enjoy that game quite a bit (0:26:04) Al: I decided that it was time to do it because with the new game coming out, I either, (0:26:10) Al: I’m not going to be able to go back to Legends Arceus because the new game is just that but better, (0:26:15) Al: or it’s not going to be good and I’ll be disappointed, but then I will have played (0:26:20) Al: a good game this year. So it’s like, one or the other, I want to have played it now, you know. (0:26:22) Dalan: Yes, yes. (0:26:23) Dalan: Silver lining. (0:26:26) Dalan: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. (0:26:28) Al: Because there are some games that I really struggle to go back and play like, (0:26:30) Dalan: Mmm. (0:26:30) Al: Breath of the Wild, I can’t play anymore after Tuesday. (0:26:34) Al: of the Kingdom, because of what Tears of the Kingdom added. (0:26:38) Al: So yeah, I think if it was, which I really hope, I mean, we (0:26:41) Al: obviously have no indication of this yet, hopefully we’ll know (0:26:44) Al: more in a month and a half, but I really hope that Legends ZA is (0:26:49) Al: basically the same catching and traversal style as Legends (0:26:54) Al: Arceus, but more of that and more fun and more to do and more (0:27:00) Al: story and some, you know, quality of life improvements. (0:27:04) Al: What I would really like is them to add the Let’s Go feature from (0:27:08) Al: Scarlet and Violet into it as well, because I think having those (0:27:10) Al: two ways of being able to run around and catch everything in balls (0:27:14) Al: or send out your Pokemon to go and kill everything nearby. (0:27:17) Dalan: Mm-hmm (0:27:18) Al: I think those are both fun and could work really well together. (0:27:21) Dalan: Yeah, that sounds like an interesting sort of combo of those ideas, man, I need to play this Krillin Violet (0:27:27) Al: Scarlet and Violet is a really mixed game and it’s like I, at one point I said if it ran better, (0:27:35) Al: it would probably be my favourite Pokémon game, but actually I don’t think that anymore. I think (0:27:38) Dalan: Mmm (0:27:39) Al: no matter what, I think Legends Arceus is my favourite Pokémon game. It’s just… (0:27:44) Dalan: Yeah, I would say that legends Arceus was definitely like the one I had been most charmed by and quite some time probably since like (0:27:51) Dalan: First Pokemon game like black and white and they didn’t enjoy the others per se but it was like, oh, this is new and interesting (0:27:57) Al: - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:28:00) Al: All right, so yeah, well, yeah, (0:28:02) Al: I finished the Professor Oak Challenge. (0:28:03) Al: I’m just catching the last few postgame Pokemon now. (0:28:04) Dalan: Oh, nice! (0:28:06) Al: So I think I’ve got the, I think before this recording, (0:28:12) Al: I just caught the Lake Spirits. (0:28:14) Al: So I think all I’ve got left are Geratina, (0:28:18) Al: the weather genies, and then Arceus, (0:28:22) Dalan: Mm-hmm great those guys (0:28:24) Al: and the two mythical. (0:28:28) Dalan: Mm-hmm cool. I look forward to hearing about that also curious about (0:28:28) Al: So, that shouldn’t take me too long. (0:28:33) Dalan: More thoughts on Rusty’s retirement as you play that more because I know we both talked about how we weren’t sure if that was (0:28:36) Al: Yes, it will be interesting to see how that goes. I will hopefully have more to talk about (0:28:38) Dalan: Game that really worked for us (0:28:45) Al: Rusty’s retirement in the near future. All right, let’s talk about some news. (0:28:48) Dalan: Sweet. (0:28:51) Al: Obviously, we had our big news catch up last week, and this is, as Dallin was saying before (0:28:58) Al: the recording, the quiet time of the year, which is very true. I think this is a very quiet time (0:29:00) Dalan: - Yes. (0:29:04) Al: for games for two reasons. (0:29:06) Al: Well, three reasons. One is January. (0:29:08) Al: Not a lot happens in January when put in games. (0:29:08) Dalan: - Yeah. (0:29:11) Al: Two, the Switch 2 is about to be announced, right? (0:29:14) Dalan: - Right. (0:29:14) Al: Like, that is imminent. (0:29:16) Al: And you know that everybody’s waiting for that. (0:29:18) Al: Some will be waiting because they have dev kits (0:29:21) Al: and they can’t announce anything yet. (0:29:23) Al: And some will be waiting to just see what it is (0:29:25) Al: and see if they can run their Switch games on it (0:29:27) Al: before they talk about it. (0:29:29) Al: And three, everybody’s terrified of GTA. (0:29:32) Dalan: Mmm, yeah, no, that’s a big game coming. (0:29:37) Al: So there’s basically no games announced coming this year outside of the first three months, (0:29:42) Dalan: Mmm. Yeah, it’s yeah, it’s a weird time right now in many ways. (0:29:42) Al: like for anybody at all. So yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. But we do have some news. (0:29:53) Al: So first of all, My Little Life, which is what I like to call a rusty retirement like, (0:30:00) Al: it is another game played on the bottom part of your screen. And this is a (0:30:06) Al: life sim rather than a farming sim. So you have your different rooms in your house and (0:30:15) Al: I presume office, I’ve not actually investigated whether you have more than (0:30:20) Dalan: My gosh this I’m looking at the announcement. I just haven’t muted right now, but in the release date announcement (0:30:26) Dalan: They have rusty’s retirement pulled up over top of the my little life screen. Yeah, let’s about 46 seconds in (0:30:30) Al: Oh, do they? Amazing. (0:30:35) Al: Oh, so they do. (0:30:36) Dalan: You can do it well answering work emails or even playing other games and then rusty’s retirement pops up (0:30:41) Dalan: So that’s that’s pretty funny. It’s just like yeah, I know what I know. This is sort of a copy (0:30:42) Al: I just read the transcripts of what they’re talking about, what you can do while playing (0:30:46) Dalan: Happy. (0:30:53) Al: it. And one of them is “or playing other games”. So they’re showing you playing My Little Life (0:31:01) Al: and Rusty’s Retirement at the same time, which I would say probably don’t do that. (0:31:02) Dalan: Two for one. (0:31:06) Dalan: I think that’s overload. (0:31:08) Dalan: I think that would break my brain. (0:31:11) Dalan: Too much things I can look at. (0:31:12) Al: Anyway, this game has announced, as Talon just said, their release date. So this is coming (0:31:17) Al: out on the 31st of January. So in two and a bit weeks. Yep. So if you like Rusty’s Retirement, (0:31:27) Al: you want another one like it, or you like the idea of Rusty’s Retirement, but you didn’t (0:31:31) Al: want a farming game while you’re listening to this podcast, then that comes out very soon. (0:31:34) Dalan: Yeah, very interesting, also like the Windows XP background in the tree. (0:31:39) Al: Next week. Yeah. (0:31:43) Dalan: Where’s that Vista? (0:31:43) Al: Yeah. (0:31:44) Dalan: I don’t know, I’m too young for this. (0:31:48) Al: Next we have the Sun Haven have released their next update for the Switch version. (0:31:54) Al: The Switch version. I mean it’s all just bug fixes basically. (0:31:56) Dalan: Hmm (0:32:00) Al: Except one thing which says added a save button in the settings menu. (0:32:03) Al: Could you not save the game before? I don’t. (0:32:05) Dalan: Ah, no idea. That seems good to have. (0:32:09) Al: Yeah. So if you’re playing, Sunhee, (0:32:12) Al: haven on the switch, you now have fewer bugs. (0:32:16) Al: Hopefully. (0:32:16) Dalan: More save buttons and hopefully you already had more than zero (0:32:18) Al: And more safe bugs. (0:32:20) Al: I’m guessing it does the Stardew thing of saving overnight, (0:32:24) Dalan: Right probably (0:32:25) Al: but they also have a save on demand thing. (0:32:29) Dalan: Right that would make sense (0:32:30) Al: Next we have Echoes of the Plum Grove (0:32:32) Al: have released their new year update. (0:32:35) Al: This is mostly bug fixes, but there’s a few features as well. (0:32:39) Al: You can add rugs and put things on those rugs. (0:32:44) Dalan: I was a little worried I misread the thing it says put furniture over rugs (0:32:49) Dalan: and I and costumes for kids and I combined them as put furniture and rugs (0:32:53) Dalan: over kids and I was like oh okay I know this is the sort of wacky or the like (0:32:58) Dalan: not wacky but uh macabre macabre game there we say that macabre it’s the R (0:33:03) Al: Yep, macabre, macabre, macabre. (0:33:06) Dalan: pronounced this is this is important I need to (0:33:10) Al: This will probably be a cultural thing, right? (0:33:12) Dalan: macabre. It’s macabre. (0:33:12) Al: Like macabre, death, about death. (0:33:15) Dalan: He got out again. (0:33:17) Dalan: That’s seems. (0:33:20) Dalan: Cool. Thanks. (0:33:22) Dalan: I knew that part. (0:33:22) Dalan: I was wondering how to say you. (0:33:24) Dalan: Thanks word. (0:33:24) Al: No, I know, I’m just simplifying it. (0:33:28) Dalan: It’s about it’s got some depth in it. (0:33:31) Al: And also new Halloween outfits. (0:33:33) Al: We’re a little bit late for Halloween outfits. (0:33:36) Dalan: Oh, some amazing fixes, Winter Gala should still be available even if the quest giver dies the night before. (0:33:42) Dalan: Good. (0:33:44) Dalan: There’s some spoiler ones I’m not looking at, but that’s the only fun one, so you don’t need to look for any more fixes. (0:33:52) Dalan: But, man, this game does intrigue me, I gotta say. (0:33:56) Al: Yeah, not many games have to worry about their NPCs dying, right? (0:34:00) Dalan: Yeah, that’s usually a Bethesda kind of thing. (0:34:07) Al: And our final piece of news, (0:34:08) Al: ‘cause I told you it was short, right? (0:34:10) Al: We had about half an hour of what we’d been up to, (0:34:12) Al: and now we’ve got five minutes of news. (0:34:13) Dalan: Well, I don’t think I saw this one. (0:34:15) Al: This is, that’s ‘cause I added it in (0:34:18) Al: like two hours ago or something. (0:34:18) Dalan: Ah, I see. (0:34:21) Al: Roots of Patcher have detailed (0:34:25) Al: their upcoming new regions to the games. (0:34:28) Al: So if you’re interested in Roots of Patcher, (0:34:30) Al: there’s some more details on that. (0:34:33) Al: Yeah, it’s not hugely detailed, (0:34:36) Al: but they’re just kind of talking about the new regions, (0:34:37) Al: which feel like the next update’s gonna be pretty big. (0:34:40) Dalan: There’s some, there’s some fun screenshots, well not screenshots, they’re slightly animated. (0:34:45) Al: Yes, there are. (0:34:47) Al: I still haven’t played this game, (0:34:48) Al: and I still want to at some point. (0:34:50) Dalan: It does, it looks nice, I could see myself enjoying it. (0:34:53) Dalan: I will keep an eye out. (0:34:56) Al: Well, that’s the news! (0:34:59) Al: So, Dalon, you’re gonna talk to me about Honkai Impact 3rd, and I have not played this game, (0:35:03) Dalan: All right. (0:35:06) Dalan: All right. (0:35:09) Al: so I have no idea how to start this other than, why are we talking about this game? (0:35:13) Dalan: okay yes let’s let’s start with why this is getting mentioned because honkai impact dirt is (0:35:18) Dalan: not a farming game and unless you count farming for materials uh oh I sure I have no idea what (0:35:19) Al: Shall I see what you said to me about the game? Let me read what Dallin said (0:35:25) Dalan: I sent to you oh boy (0:35:27) Al: when they first suggested playing this game. (0:35:32) Dalan: i’m half expecting like there to be an emoji with me like doing the the fingers pointing at each (0:35:37) Dalan: other I don’t know I i think it (0:35:39) Al: Where did you say it to me? (0:35:44) Dalan: it was probably a threat in the like the not the harvest slack but the other slack (0:35:49) Dalan: I don’t even think it was like a dm or anything I was like no it was just like we could do this (0:35:51) Al: It wasn’t a DM, no. (0:35:54) Dalan: so I i don’t think that’s even anywhere now we have we have no idea how this transpired just (0:35:59) Dalan: occurred uh yeah I think it it came up in video games because I mentioned that I was doing like (0:36:00) Al: so confused. We seem to have talked about it in multiple different channels, (0:36:04) Al: but I can’t actually find where you said it about it. (0:36:09) Dalan: a farming event in this game. You said there’s farming in this game? (0:36:13) Dalan: I was like, “Yeah, right now.” (0:36:15) Al: Okay, so, you said to me back at the end of November, the new Honkai Impact Third Update (0:36:22) Al: has a side mode that is Bilateral + Marvel Snap. The previous two side modes were a Farming (0:36:26) Dalan: Oh yes, I didn’t mention that. (0:36:28) Al: Sim and then Candy Crush Battles. And I said, “A what now?” (0:36:30) Dalan: Yes. (0:36:32) Dalan: Yes. (0:36:34) Dalan: That one just wrapped up, the Bellatrosnap. (0:36:38) Al: So yeah, you said, “I thought I posted about it, but I guess not. It was a Farming Sim (0:36:42) Al: that was about getting not Pokemon who (0:36:45) Al: run various buildings in your town, farm crops, mine for materials etc. They also had fishing, (0:36:51) Al: gotta have a fishing minigame. If you ever need a filler episode, (0:36:53) Dalan: That is correct (0:36:54) Al: I could definitely talk for at least 20 minutes about it, so set that timer now! (0:36:58) Dalan: All right, set the timer see how long we get to cool (0:37:04) Dalan: Yeah, I mean good job past me. That’s a pretty good summary (0:37:08) Dalan: So that’s that’s what we’re gonna talk about. I’m going to briefly just explain the concept of what the heck (0:37:14) Dalan: Hong Kai impact there it is. It’s a gotcha game first and foremost. So if you’re not familiar with gotcha games, it’s (0:37:21) Dalan: gambling, but legal. (0:37:24) Dalan: They have usually have these things called banners where there are usually anime girls that you spend points on, and then you have a chance to get that character it’s usually guaranteed after however many times you pull for that character as the terminology and yeah, that is that is the bulk of how they make their monies by having you pay money to get their new characters. (0:37:51) Dalan: So one of the ways (0:37:53) Dalan: they do this is by having these characters show up in side modes and (0:37:57) Dalan: stories and stuff. Usually they’re in the main story, but sometimes they also have (0:38:01) Dalan: sort of filler side content, and they tend to–Hoyoverse is the company that (0:38:07) Dalan: does this, formerly me, Hoyo, and I think that’s like–I don’t remember all the (0:38:12) Dalan: branding nonsense, but I go by Hoyoverse, and yeah. (0:38:12) Al: It looks like Mihoyo is still the name of a company. (0:38:20) Dalan: Yeah, it’s like international kind of stuff. (0:38:23) Dalan: It was Hoya vs. Kind of a rebranding thing that I tend to stick to just because most of their games are connected in some sort of multiverse way. (0:38:34) Al: So, the publisher is called Huyoverse. (0:38:38) Dalan: And the developers Mihoyo? Okay, interesting. I did not know that. (0:38:40) Al: Correct. (0:38:42) Al: But I believe they are separate companies, but it looks like Huyoverse was spun out from… (0:38:49) Dalan: Yeah, they’re essentially the same thing I imagine. (0:38:52) Dalan: They just handle like different parts of the process. (0:38:56) Al: Yes, but they are separate companies, they’re not, as far as I can see, not kind of possibly, (0:38:58) Dalan: Yes. (0:39:00) Dalan: All right, I figured it was a thing where like (0:39:02) Dalan: one was owning the other somewhere, but I don’t know. (0:39:04) Al: but I’m not, I can’t see any information on the ownership of Hoyoverse. But also, Hoyoverse (0:39:07) Dalan: I do not have the Wikipedia open right now (0:39:09) Dalan: and it’s not that relevant. (0:39:12) Al: is also called Cognosphere. That’s just another name for the same company. I don’t know why (0:39:15) Dalan: Hognosphere, I’m not familiar with that one. (0:39:19) Dalan: Okay, interesting. (0:39:25) Dalan: I assume it has something, (0:39:28) Dalan: the first result from three, (0:39:30) Dalan: the second result from three years ago on Reddit (0:39:31) Dalan: says it was a new proxy publishing label. (0:39:34) Dalan: So it’s probably ‘cause they’re based in China (0:39:34) Al: It does. Right. (0:39:36) Dalan: and they needed like other companies (0:39:37) Dalan: to be able to publish things. (0:39:38) Al: Yeah, but why is HoYoverse also called Cognosphere sometimes? (0:39:42) Dalan: Oh, no idea. (0:39:44) Al: But yeah, it does look like it’s fully owned subsidiary of of miHoYo. (0:39:49) Al: So parent company miHoYo, HoYoverse also called Cognosphere. (0:39:54) Dalan: publisher cool (0:39:54) Al: Subsidiary publishing company. Got it. (0:39:57) Dalan: Cool, that’s not confusing got it got it (0:39:57) Al: Perfect. Makes sense. (0:40:00) Dalan: Need a chart. I don’t need some diagrams after this anyway (0:40:04) Dalan: the brief history of miHoYo is (0:40:07) Dalan: Al have you ever heard of Evangelion? I? (0:40:10) Dalan: Want you to imagine that you are a couple you’re several people and that’s there (0:40:15) Dalan: There is a team of a few people in China in like (0:40:20) Dalan: Early, I think like the late 2000s who are really into Evangelion and they decide (0:40:24) Dalan: let’s make games inspired by that and so yeah that was kind of that is I assume (0:40:31) Dalan: why this game is called impact third because it is very heavily inspired by (0:40:34) Dalan: Evangelion which has something in it called the third impact however I assume (0:40:38) Al: Right. Okay. You lost me there for a minute. You were like, I think that’s why (0:40:39) Dalan: they little bit okay Evangelion has something in it called the third impact (0:40:41) Al: it’s called this because Evangelion. I’m like, I don’t understand what that means. (0:40:45) Al: Okay. I’m learning so much. (0:40:48) Dalan: so I think they took inspiration from that name and some of the things that (0:40:53) Dalan: that happen in that series. (0:40:55) Dalan: Uh, cause it features in this game is kind of a thing. (0:40:58) Dalan: Uh, basically just, yeah. (0:41:00) Al: Oh, this is also the Genshin Impact company. Anzendless don0. Goodness me. (0:41:02) Dalan: Yes, that is, they took the, yes, that’s Hoya verse. (0:41:07) Dalan: They have a lot. (0:41:08) Dalan: They also have something called tears of Themis, which I think is like a hot (0:41:11) Dalan: boy dating simulator, but I didn’t ever hear anyone talking about it. (0:41:12) Al: Yeah, I saw that as well, but I didn’t really care because it’s not one I care of. (0:41:14) Dalan: So I don’t know anything about it. (0:41:17) Dalan: Yeah, I, I don’t particularly care, but it does exist. (0:41:20) Dalan: Um, yes, yes. (0:41:20) Al: This game is older than those games. (0:41:25) Dalan: This is the one that I think really first took off. (0:41:27) Dalan: Uh, there were two that proceeded it, but one was literally just kind of like, (0:41:30) Dalan: uh, uh, you know, twin stick shooter, very short game. (0:41:35) Dalan: And the other was kind of like a prototype of this game. (0:41:39) Dalan: That was like a lot more zombie focused because zombies were really big back in (0:41:43) Dalan: the, uh, like late, uh, odds, I think, if you remember everyone liked zombies and (0:41:50) Dalan: bacon and pirates and mustaches and that, that kind of period of time. (0:41:52) Al: Yeah, I don’t think that ever actually went away, did it? (0:41:55) Dalan: No, no, well, no, but it was like, that was sort of a weird cultural (0:42:00) Dalan: cachet we had at the time. (0:42:00) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get you, I get you. (0:42:02) Dalan: Yeah. (0:42:03) Dalan: Anyway, so yes, that game I now, now I’ve confused myself. (0:42:08) Dalan: Uh, where am I anyway, how can I impact third it’s game. (0:42:12) Dalan: You can play, uh, one of the, as Hoya verse starts getting more and more money. (0:42:16) Dalan: Uh, they need to put like side events in their gotcha games. (0:42:19) Dalan: And I guess some of the game designers are like, what if we just started doing (0:42:23) Dalan: doing entirely different. (0:42:25) Dalan: And so across a lot of their games, there are events where you will just play like entirely separate games as side events, and some of them are really interesting. (0:42:34) Dalan: The problem is a lot of them go away after the event period is over because that’s not what the focus of the game is. (0:42:41) Dalan: I have noticed some lately and Impact Third seem to be like getting saved as things you can replay. (0:42:47) Dalan: And I think Honkai Star Rail keeps most of its events that happen, but not all of them. (0:42:54) Dalan: Part of that is because these are games you can play both on your phone and PC in consoles. (0:43:01) Dalan: Impact Third is only phone and PC. (0:43:05) Dalan: So to be playable on a phone, they wanted to decrease storage size. (0:43:10) Dalan: So they tend to delete content events that happened so your phone doesn’t explode from being just the game and having space for nothing else. (0:43:20) Dalan: So the event we’re talking about is they made, essentially, (0:43:24) Dalan: a farming sim that you can play. They’ve done this apparently twice. I was not playing when (0:43:28) Dalan: the first one happened, so I don’t know anything about it. It’s farming enough. I mean, that’s, (0:43:29) Al: or two farvings, some specifically. (0:43:34) Dalan: I would say it’s more focused on automation, sort of. Yeah, but it is around farming and development. (0:43:38) Al: Sounds like my kind of game

So many of us are curious about the stuff of space and time and the forces that bind us all together. Author and physicist Sean Caroll wants to encourage that curiosity, and believes physics can be accessible to everyone. Carroll is the Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy, a joint appointment between physics and philosophy at Johns Hopkins University and fractal faculty at the Santa Fe Institute. He has focused his research on cosmology, field theory, and gravitation, looking at topics such as dark matter and dark energy, modified gravity, topological defects, extra dimensions, and violations of fundamental symmetries. He has shifted his focus to foundational questions, both in quantum mechanics—origin of probability, emergence of space and time—and statistical mechanics—entropy and the arrow of time, emergence and causation, dynamics of complexity, all while bringing a more philosophical dimension to this work. Carroll is the author of several books, including, “The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: Space, Time, and Motion,” “Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime,” and its second volume, “Quanta and Fields: The Biggest Ideas in the Universe.” He hosts the “Mindscape” podcast, featuring conversations with accomplished guests on new ideas in science, philosophy, culture, and the arts. Carroll was named a Guggenheim Fellow in 2015. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Biological evolution via natural selection is a simple idea that becomes enormously complicated in its realization. Populations of organisms are driven toward increased "fitness," a measure of how successfully we reproduce our genetic information. But fitness is a subtle concept, changing with time and environment and interactions with other organisms around us. We talk with biologist Brandon Ogbunu about the best mathematical and conceptual tools for thinking about the messy complexities of evolution, and how modern technology is changing our way of thinking about it.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/11/18/296-brandon-ogbunu-on-fitness-seascapes-and-the-course-of-evolution/Brandon Ogbunu received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Microbiology from Yale University.

Can you keep a secret? Modern techniques for maintaining the confidentiality of information are based on mathematical problems that are inherently too difficult for anyone to solve without the right hints. Yet what does that mean when quantum computers capable of solving many problems astronomically faster are on the horizon? In this episode, host Janna Levin talks with computer scientist Boaz Barak about the cryptographic techniques that keep information confidential, and why “security through mathematics” beats “security through obscurity.” Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,  TuneIn or your favorite podcasting app, or you can stream it from Quanta.

Ask a question of ChatGPT and other, similar chatbots and there's a good chance you'll be impressed at how adeptly it comes up with a good answer — unless it spits out unrealistic nonsense instead. Part of what's mystifying about these kinds of machine learning systems is that they are fundamentally black boxes. No one knows precisely how they arrive at the answers that they do. Given that mystery, is it possible that these systems in some way truly understand the world and the questions they answer? In this episode, the computer scientist Yejin Choi of the University of Washington and host Steven Strogatz discuss the capabilities and limitations of chatbots and the large language models, or LLMs, on which they are built.  Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,  TuneIn or your favorite podcasting app, or you can stream it from Quanta.

In the tiling of wallpaper and bathroom floors, collective repeated patterns often emerge. Mathematicians have long tried to find a tiling shape that never repeats in this way. In 2023, they lauded an unexpected amateur victor. That discovery of the elusive aperiodic monotile propelled the field into new dimensions. The study of tessellation is much more than a fun thought exercise:  Peculiar, rare tiling formations can sometimes seem to tell us something about the natural world, from the structure of minerals to the organization of the cosmos. In this episode, Janna Levin speaks with mathematician Natalie Priebe Frank about these complex geometric combinations, and where they may pop up unexpectedly. Specifically, they explore her research into quasicrystals — crystals that, like aperiodic tiles, enigmatically resist structural uniformity..

On today's episode I have Redgie Probst, COO of Quanta Services with me. Because we get questions often about how people can get involved in trade and what opportunities are out there in those fields, I wanted Redgie to provide direction and information on Quanta as well as various trade fields. Redgie shares his background in agriculture as well as how his hard work ethic and his dislike for school brought him to trades. We discuss college versus trade school and what the process of training for a trade looks like. In this episode you'll hear how it's never too late to start in trade while still being involved in agriculture. Redgie Probst began his career in the trades at the Utah Valley University lineworker program. Developing his skills in the field, he attained certifications as a Journeyman Lineman, Journeyman Substation Technician, and Master Electrician. Through his experience in the trades, Probst recognized the opportunity posed by unmet needs in the industry, and founded Probst Electric Inc. in 2004 and Summit Line Construction, Inc in 2008. He served as President and Chief Executive Officer of both companies until they were acquired by Quanta in November 2013. He has served in various roles within Quanta, including Regional Vice President of Electric Power, Senior Vice President of Electric Power, and President of Electric Power. In January 2022, Probst was appointed Chief Operating Officer. Probst is a third-generation rancher who is passionate about building better lives for individuals and their communities through work in the trades.   Resources & Links: Good to Great by Jim Collins The Go Giver by Bob Burg and David Mann Greatness by Dr. David L.

Quanta Service's (AED) program has saved 42 lives (including several civilians) so far. Quanta's Automated External Defibrillator (AED) program aims to increase the rate of survival for people suffering sudden cardiac arrests wherever their crews are. Jack Mauel works for Stryker, the leading manufacture of (AED's) Automated External Defibrillators in North America and Matt Compher is the VP of Safety, Health, and Environmental for Quanta Services. A well-functioning AED program provides equipment and training to enhance life safety response measures. AEDs make it possible for trained and untrained responders to administer defibrillation prior to the arrival of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Your goal should be to deploy an AED on every job site across North America and after listening to this podcast you'll see that it is a very attainable goal.   ✌️SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE ✌️ Hit up our website here: https://www.powerlinepodcast.com/  

For decades, the best drug therapies for treating depression, like SSRIs, have been based on the idea that depressed brains don't have enough of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Yet for almost as long, it's been clear that simplistic theory is wrong. Recent research into the true causes of depression is finding clues in other neurotransmitters and the realization that the brain is much more adaptable than scientists once imagined. Treatments for depression are being reinvented by drugs like ketamine that can help regrow synapses, which can in turn restore the right brain chemistry and improve whole body health. In this episode, John Krystal, a neuropharmacologist at the Yale School of Medicine, shares the new findings in mental health research that are revolutionizing psychiatric medication.

Sean Carroll is creating a profoundly new approach to sharing physics with a broad audience, one that goes beyond analogies to show how physicists really think. He cuts to the bare mathematical essence of our most profound theories, explaining every step in a uniquely accessible way. Quantum field theory is how modern physics describes nature at its most profound level. Starting with the basics of quantum mechanics itself, Sean Carroll explains measurement and entanglement before explaining how the world is really made of fields. You will finally understand why matter is solid, why there is antimatter, where the sizes of atoms come from, and why the predictions of quantum field theory are so spectacularly successful. Fundamental ideas like spin, symmetry, Feynman diagrams, and the Higgs mechanism are explained for real, not just through amusing stories. Beyond Newton, beyond Einstein, and all the intuitive notions that have guided homo sapiens for millennia, this book is a journey to a once unimaginable truth about what our universe is. Sean Carroll is Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University, and Fractal Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute. He is host of the Mindscape podcast, and author of From Eternity to Here, The Particle at the End of the Universe, The Big Picture, and Something Deeply Hidden. He has been awarded prizes and fellowships by the National Science Foundation, NASA, the American Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of London, and many others. He lives in Baltimore with his wife, writer Jennifer Ouellette. His new book series, The Biggest Ideas in the Universe, includes one volume on Space, Time, and Motion, and this new volume on Quanta and Fields. Shermer and Carroll discuss: the measurement problem in physics • wave functions • entanglement • fields • interactions • scale • symmetry • gauge theory • phases • matter • atoms • time • double-slit experiment • superposition • directionality in nature • the multiverse • known unknowables • Is there a place for God in scientific epistemology?

Publication week! Say hello to Quanta and Fields, the second volume of the planned three-volume series The Biggest Ideas in the Universe. This volume covers quantum physics generally, but focuses especially on the wonders of quantum field theory. To celebrate, this solo podcast talks about some of the big ideas that make QFT so compelling: how quantized fields produce particles, how gauge symmetries lead to forces of nature, and how those forces can manifest in different phases, including Higgs and confinement.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/05/13/275-solo-quantum-fields-particles-forces-and-symmetries/Support Mindscape on Patreon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If superconductors — materials that conduct electricity without any resistance — worked at temperatures and pressures close to what we would consider normal, they would be world-changing. They could dramatically amplify power grids, levitate high-speed trains and enable more affordable medical technologies. For more than a century, physicists have tinkered with different compounds and environmental conditions in pursuit of this elusive property, but while success has sometimes been claimed, the reports were always debunked or withdrawn. What makes this challenge so tricky? In this episode, Siddharth Shanker Saxena, a condensed-matter physicist at the University of Cambridge, gives co-host Janna Levin the details about why high-temperature superconductors remain so stubbornly out of reach..

Milk is more than just a food for babies. Breast milk has evolved to deliver thousands of diverse molecules including growth factors, hormones and antibodies, as well as microbes. Elizabeth Johnson, a molecular nutritionist at Cornell University, studies the effects of infants' diet on the gut microbiome. These studies could hold clues to hard questions in public health for children and adults alike. In this episode of “The Joy of Why” podcast, co-host Steven Strogatz interviews Johnson about the microbial components that make breast milk one of the most wondrous biofluids found in nature.
