The 80/20 rule seems to be built into nature: you use 20% of your tools 80% of the time as just one example. Donald Trump's MAGA movement owns the political issues supported by roughly 80% of the country — immigration reform, closed border, energy independence, cutting government waste, etc. — which leaves the Democrats, whose only option has always been to reflexively oppose The Donald at every turn, firmly trapped in the fatal 20% of the pie.

The guest couldn't make it today, so it was just Erick and Zack. Erick hates these situations because Zack likes to make up stories about why the guest didn't show up. Zack talks about WWE and hanging out with his friends, but there isn't a dog that bites people in the way. Zack is a big fan of The Odyssey and old movies, which he often references. A fan of Erick's comedy stopped him to tell a story about her ex. Erick talks about playing games in the '90s and early 2000s with Zack. All of that and so much more on the show today.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delves into the tumultuous recent history of Insomniac Games. We explore the fan and developer relations, particularly focusing on the backlash over character model changes in "Marvel's Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man 2," where the new models for Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson sparked significant controversy and even harassment towards the creative team. We'll also cover the devastating 2023 data breach that compromised 1.67 terabytes of sensitive company data, rallying the gaming community in support of Insomniac. Additionally, Analytic Dreamz discusses the 2024 layoffs amidst Sony's broader restructuring, and the 2020 workplace harassment allegations that led to public demands for improved practices. Financially, we look at the performance of "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart," which despite its high costs didn't meet sales expectations, leading to a strategic shift towards more profitable Marvel titles. Looking ahead, we examine leaked plans for future projects, including an emphasis on Marvel games up to 2030, and shakeups in leadership for major projects like "Wolverine" and "Perfect Dark," highlighting the challenges and changes in game development.

Hey Strangers, #spiderman #spiderman2 #pcgaming The newly released PC port of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 hasn't enjoyed the smoothest of launches, thanks to bugs and performance problems. And now it seems that one aspect of the conversion that is making things worse is the use of DirectStorage, with the system sucking up all-important GPU resources. Spider-Man 2 was ported by Nixxes Software, which has a pretty stellar track record for converting Sony's best-sellers. Well, up until now, that is. The Dutch software company portfolio of…err…ports is second to none: Marvel's Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales; Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart; Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered and Horizon Forbidden West.

Send us a textIs the golden era of gaming truly behind us? We'll unravel this debate as we nostalgically revisit the gaming renaissance of the early 2000s, where titles like "Ratchet and Clank" and "Halo" defined a generation. Back then, games were seemingly more complete, devoid of today's constant internet downloads and pesky microtransactions. We'll explore how the industry's focus has shifted towards monetization, pondering whether the magic of gaming has been lost in the quest for profit.The gaming world has undeniably transformed, but is it for better or worse? We'll scrutinize the ethics and impact of modern monetization strategies like character customization and pay-to-win mechanics, with a critical eye on games like "Call of Duty" and the infamous Horse Armor DLC from Oblivion. The conversation doesn't shy away from the controversy surrounding microtransactions in games targeting younger audiences, such as "Roblox" and "Fortnite," questioning the morality of these practices.As the episode winds down, we'll address the complex relationship between digital and physical game ownership, raising concerns about consumer rights in an increasingly digital economy. We'll reflect on the continuing evolution of the gaming industry and its communities, with a hopeful nod towards future technological advancements. From recent movie reviews to a playful pop culture trivia challenge and a soundtrack guessing game, there's something for every entertainment enthusiast in this episode. Join us for a spirited discussion on what lies ahead for gaming and entertainment's ever-evolving landscape.Support the show

Episode 367 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast is the first show of 2025, but it provides a lookback at the best and worst of 2024 in our annual superlatives episode. The show begins with the best Transformers toy of the year, objectively - independent of any sentimental value or emotional connection, what toy takes the top spot? This is followed by the subjective best toy of the year from the main collector lines (i.e. Legacy, Studio Series, Masterpiece) as well as choices for favorite toy outside the mainstream. The show pivots slightly to favorite media of the year, and the cast is torn between Transformers ONE and the Studio Trigger 40th Anniversary PV. We take a turn for the worst - worst toy of the year, that is, followed by the worst of anything else that isn't a toy. The cast ends this 2024 look-back with a look inward at their greatest collecting achievement of the year. As we do every year, the Twincast makes two predictions: each cast member makes an obvious prediction, alongside a prediction that is much more of a reach. We end the episode with our regular bragging rights segment, where each cast member reviews what they've acquired since the last episode.
