(0:00:43) Codey: Uh, as always, transcripts are available in the show notes and on the website. (0:00:46) Codey: And today this episode, we are talking about window garden, the lo-fi idol game, super cute, um, been very excited to talk about this. (0:00:54) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:00:56) Codey: We’ve been playing it for a few months now. (0:00:58) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:00:59) Codey: I’m excited to hear how far you are, but we haven’t talked about it at all. (0:01:01) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:01:02) Codey: Um, and so, um, yeah, so that’s the, the main topic. (0:01:09) Codey: Uh, we always, as always have some news. (0:01:11) Codey: There’s some, some interesting news going on today. (0:01:15) Codey: Uh, but before that, uh, Beth, what have you been up to? (0:01:18) Bev: I have been dying at work, but in terms of what I’ve been playing, I’ve been doing a lot of Marvel Strike Force recently. I got back into that for whatever reason. I thought, (0:01:35) Bev: yes, I need a gacha game back into my life. In addition to keeping up with Twisted Wonderland, (0:01:43) Bev: I’m not doing so much in the way of console games because I just feel like I don’t have a (0:01:48) Bev: lot of time for it, but I did recently get the old Jedi game. Was it Fallen Order? (0:01:54) Codey: Mmm, okay, okay (0:01:56) Bev: Not Jedi Survivor because that’s a new one, but the previous one because it was on sale from May the 4th. I have like an hour in there since then. How about you? (0:02:03) Codey: Okay, okay (0:02:05) Codey: cool, uh (0:02:07) Bev: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. (0:02:08) Codey: Well, I also it has been a while since we talked about your background garden (0:02:13) Codey: Do you like your backyard garden? Do you have do you still have that? Is that still a thing? Is it getting up getting ready? (0:02:18) Bev: We do. (0:02:22) Bev: So it was falling into disarray over the winter and at the end of, I think, (0:02:27) Bev: fall of last year. (0:02:29) Bev: But now it’s spring, so it’s a whole new year and we’ve reset. (0:02:33) Bev: We actually redid our whole backyard. (0:02:37) Bev: So we got new pavers in and no longer have to deal with weeds anymore, (0:02:41) Bev: which is fantastic. (0:02:44) Bev: So we also bought like new like furniture. (0:02:48) Bev: Out there, so we’re actually gonna get to sit outside like in an umbrella and have enjoyment in our space without a whole bunch of stuff everywhere. (0:02:59) Bev: Since we just, it was getting bad, so we got rid of a lot of stuff back there. (0:03:06) Bev: Cuz I had like working projects for houses, the house, and that just never happened. (0:03:11) Bev: And then we’re like, we’re just gonna accept that this is a project that is no longer taking place. (0:03:15) Codey: yeah that is the worst when you have to like I’m about actually probably also about to have to do that because I have a roommate moving in and I have to clean out this room and so there’s gonna be like a lot of stuff that’s like okay I’ve had a this this thing for this hard drive for forever that I said I was gonna go through I don’t even remember what’s on it do I actually need this like I don’t know or I’ll just throw it in that memory box and maybe one day I’ll do it, but I don’t need to have it on my desk anymore. (0:03:32) Bev: Mhm. Mhm. Right, exactly. Like at one point, like it’s been a year or so that this project hasn’t been worked on. So it’s like, is it, is it actually going to happen at this point? Probably not. So we bought some new like herbs and have them hanging instead of in the… (0:03:50) Codey: Yeah. Yeah. (0:04:02) Bev: the bed. We haven’t used the bed yet. Um, because last time it got like, we got overgrown too quickly with the squashes and tomatoes. So we’re like, we’re gonna start smaller and have them separate so that they don’t get angry and start quarreling with each other. Um, and uh, uh, my partner, uh, Taylor has been mostly, uh, working on the backyard, but they’ve been enjoying the the gardening much more. (0:04:04) Codey: Okay. (0:04:08) Codey: Uh-huh. (0:04:10) Codey: Okay. (0:04:32) Bev: I’m going to try to get a little bit more of a look at what happened. (0:04:32) Codey: Mm-hmm. Well, it’s lovely though that it’s there and like you can get out there and and do some stuff if you want But that it’s also not gonna (0:04:35) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:04:36) Bev: Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. (0:04:44) Codey: Unlike my at my yard (0:04:46) Codey: My my backyard just got fenced and I was I had these grand designs of like, oh I’m gonna clean this I’m gonna do this. I’m gonna do that (0:04:56) Codey: And yeah, it’s not (0:04:58) Codey: surprise I mean every now and then I’d go out there with the dogs and I kick the ball for them and then they find like a stick to chew on or whatever and they like chill and then I’ll go out and pull some pull up some of that garlic mustard, ooh garlic mustard it’s the worst, pull up some of that pull up some other stuff that is just a non-native that is taking over the beds because there’s excuse me there’s a couple of areas where there’s not grass that I could make like wildflower beds and then I do also have a raised fenced bed that I am hoping to– (0:05:12) Bev: Mm-hmm, yeah. (0:05:26) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:05:34) Codey: I don’t want to put veggies in this year, but I should probably be doing that like now, I guess. (0:05:34) Bev: I mean, there’s still time. (0:05:40) Codey: So we’ll see. (0:05:43) Bev: It doesn’t have to be now, like. (0:05:44) Codey: I really want zucchinis because I love just the, like, always having zucchini, like– (0:05:52) Codey: I love hearing from my friends who have zucchini plants that they’re like, “It just won’t stop.” (0:05:56) Codey: Like, I just want that. I want to make zucchini bread, like, every week, you know? (0:05:57) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:06:00) Codey: or be the person that’s like zucchinis are like falling. (0:06:02) Codey: out of my pockets and I’m like “please take my zucchinis” because I have friends that are that way but I want to be that person just once in my life. Just once. (0:06:08) Bev: Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, mix-ups. Um, we also got our fence re-did, um, (0:06:17) Bev: which is nice because now you don’t have, like, those, those, like, (0:06:21) Bev: gaps in between the, the slots, I guess, or the, whatever they’re called. Um, (0:06:26) Bev: So it feels like we have a lot more. (0:06:27) Bev: Privacy and our decrepit gate is not just like Hank literally just being supported by the fence (0:06:35) Bev: because it’s not connected at that point. (0:06:39) Bev: And we set up a zipline for the cats so we can bring them out. (0:06:42) Codey: My gosh (0:06:45) Codey: So like you just clip them to the zipline and they get to do whatever they want. Oh my gosh freaking adorable (0:06:53) Bev: And got some bird feeders so we can attract (0:06:58) Bev: the birds so the cats can look at them and get some enrichment through the windows. (0:07:02) Codey: Yeah. (0:07:05) Bev: I know one thing that Taylor had mentioned like we want to do is like maybe possibly using the beds for like just local pollinator plants but (0:07:14) Bev: we haven’t gotten around to doing that so I think we’ll probably be planting that as well. (0:07:18) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:07:19) Codey: I mean that works either way like it’s you know either you’re even even a lot of like fruits and vegetables that you might grow in there are gonna produce a flower usually at some point but yeah depending on if you’re living in a really urban environment it might be good to to also have some some of that pollinator flowers as well to support the local populations (0:07:30) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:07:32) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:07:42) Bev: Yeah, it’s not super urban, but it’s pretty suburban so I wouldn’t mind, like just having some more and it feels like I think Taylor’s probably thinking it’s going to be less work than the veggies, but I don’t know if that’s actually the case or not, but yeah, exactly. (0:07:47) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:07:49) Codey: Yeah Yeah. (0:07:59) Codey: I mean you’re gonna have to weed in there for sure and it depending on what kind of wildflower mixes you spread it might be difficult to determine what’s the weed and what was meant to be in there I think that’s the issue that I always have with that kind of stuff so my plan for wildflowers this year is literally while I’m doing my field research just grab seed pods be like oh that I can tell this is a goldenrod from last year I’m just gonna yoink grab everything (0:08:12) Bev: Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm. (0:08:22) Bev: Ooh, yes. (0:08:29) Codey: if there are any seed pods that didn’t like dispense their seeds and just toss them in my backyard and hope that they grow milkweed goldenrod lots of different goldenrods that are that are native to this area that just support a plethora of things on the non gardening side I have been playing Disney Dreamlight Valley I now almost have Daisy all the way maxed out and Mike Wazowski who are the only two characters that I did not (0:08:36) Bev: Beautiful. (0:08:39) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:08:44) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:08:54) Bev: Oh yay! (0:08:59) Codey: have all the way maxed out so I am about to be done on that and then I would have to pay for content to have content I think I’ll just wait though and then Minecraft Fox still going strong and never posted pictures like I said I would last week but I did I did I took them so I I have a bunch of I have a bunch of pictures I just never posted them so yeah I have that still going on The tail is now finished and I’m now working on the body. (0:09:00) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:09:02) Bev: Amazing. (0:09:06) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:09:08) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:09:18) Bev: You’re halfway there! (0:09:29) Codey: And we’re building up the sanctuary part of it that’s on the top, which is really cute. (0:09:34) Codey: There’s just foxes all over and then I’m trying to find what I want to play next. (0:09:39) Codey: And I went on Game Pass and there were a bunch of those like simulation games like power washing simulator and like cooking simulator. (0:09:50) Codey: And I was like, oh, I want to try some of these. (0:09:53) Codey: I love watching videos of people power wash. (0:09:54) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:09:56) Codey: Let me try this. (0:09:59) Codey: But I do also have one of my best friends is playing SnowRunner, which is like a game where you pilot rescue vehicles to save people from like, like if they’re stuck in the snow or whatever, or you’re, or you also just like deliver things in the snow, and they have a bunch of different types of vehicles that you can use. (0:10:10) Bev: Ooh, okay. (0:10:13) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:10:21) Codey: And you, I guess you can play that multiplayer cross platform so he could, he could be like, well, I’m going to grab this, this vehicle and I know that we’re going to need. (0:10:24) Bev: Cool. Okay. (0:10:29) Codey: This other vehicle. So can you go grab that real quick and I’ll be like, heck yeah. And then I’ll run them off the road because I’m a menace to society. (0:10:32) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:10:37) Codey: So we’ll see how long that I think it’d be fun though. (0:10:39) Bev: Uh-huh, uh-huh. I forgot Dreamlight Valley was a thing. (0:10:45) Codey: Oh, it’s so good. It is so I mean, I also should probably go back to Coraline when there’s all those updates that are coming out and. (0:10:51) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:10:53) Bev: Yeah, I was playing a lot of Howl Island prior to I think May the 4th and then I stopped then around then. (0:11:00) Bev: and then… (0:11:02) Bev: but (0:11:02) Codey: I think I’m [AUDIO OUT] (0:11:03) Bev: I realized, like, I’m probably gonna wanna start a new island as soon as the 1.1, (0:11:07) Bev: so I was like, “Mmm, maybe I would– this is where I’ll stop for now.” (0:11:11) Codey: Right. (0:11:13) Codey: Yeah, I don’t even think I made it past summer in that game. (0:11:17) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:11:18) Codey: So I still have a lot that I can do. (0:11:20) Codey: I just– I planted some things. (0:11:22) Codey: And then I was like, ooh, hyperfixing on the ocean cleanup? (0:11:25) Codey: And then that was my life. (0:11:27) Codey: And then every now and then I’d find– (0:11:31) Codey: His name’s not Simon, is it? (0:11:32) Codey: I’m the museum guy. (0:11:33) Bev: Oh, no. Oh, goodness. (0:11:36) Codey: Well, that guy. (0:11:39) Codey: That, that Hoddy McConterton. (0:11:40) Bev: OK, I can picture him, but I can’t see his name. (0:11:44) Codey: Um, that person. (0:11:44) Bev: Oh. Scott. (0:11:47) Codey: I cannot believe I blinked on his name. (0:11:50) Codey: I would go, I just go and give him Scott. (0:11:54) Codey: I knew it started with an X. (0:11:57) Codey: Yeah, I go and give him gifts whenever I see him. (0:12:00) Codey: And sometimes he’s like, “Wow, I love it.” (0:12:06) Bev: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I realize that mayonnaise works for like everyone essentially. So that’s just been my go-to (0:12:13) Codey: that’s ridiculous I mean the cool thing is he takes like a lot of artifacts and stuff like anything that’s an artifact because he’s a museum guy and so he’s always like wow this is awesome thank you and i’m like heck yeah like I i do sell a lot of them too well so I i give the museum one like i fill in the museum with everything but then um yeah um so yeah other than (0:12:14) Bev: It’s a really weird gift like I want them to comment on how weird it is, but they’re all like oh delicious. Thanks (0:12:25) Bev: Right (0:12:29) Bev: I sell those. I’m like nope. Sorry Scott. I need the money [giggles] (0:12:43) Codey: not just trying to figure out what to do with my life after getting a lot of tattoos and then I gotta say money you got a tattoo yesterday and then I have another one next week so actually another two next week it’s one one sitting but I’m getting one on each of my elbows (0:12:45) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:12:50) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:12:55) Bev: Beautiful. (0:12:57) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:13:03) Bev: Wait, on your elbows? (0:13:04) Codey: it’s not gonna be like on the elbow but it’s like the forearm right below the elbow it’s like a symbol so that when I like hold up my arm (0:13:09) Bev: Okay. (0:13:11) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:13:13) Codey: like I’m gonna fight you you’re gonna see them both you’re gonna be like oh wow she’s got these symbols that are space themed and fire themed like can’t she’s intense I have a I didn’t realize that I have a and one of my forearms is gonna be orange themed and one’s gonna be purple themed so far because yeah I have a lot of like fox stuff on the right one the the right forearm is my fox forearm and that’s the one that’s gonna have fire and it’s going to end up with a minecraft fox and i’m (0:13:21) Bev: » Better back off.

(0:16:46) Codey: Moving on to the news. (0:16:51) Codey: We’ve got just a small bit of news, (0:16:52) Codey: but it’s interesting this week. (0:16:56) Codey: The fact that the Wholesome Direct is going to be on the 8th of June at noon eastern time, (0:17:02) Codey: because eastern time is all that matters. (0:17:04) Bev: yes do the math (0:17:04) Codey: So if you are in a different time zone, figure it out. (0:17:07) Bev: you uh (0:17:09) Codey: Al said, thank goodness it’s not on a Wednesday again. (0:17:13) Bev: um (0:17:14) Codey: Probably because we record on Wednesdays, (0:17:16) Codey: so we don’t want the news to drop. (0:17:18) Codey: Oh, I guess there was the last time it happened. (0:17:20) Codey: I think we literally watched it together, or watched it, (0:17:23) Codey: And then we were like, okay, let’s go. (0:17:26) Codey: Let’s record. (0:17:27) Codey: It was all super fresh. (0:17:27) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:17:29) Codey: Um, so yeah, that’s going to be June 8th, uh, less than a month. (0:17:33) Codey: And, um, if you don’t know what the wholesome direct is, what are you doing here? (0:17:38) Bev: look into it right (0:17:38) Codey: First, uh, first of all, what are you doing here? (0:17:40) Codey: And second of all, quote, a vibrant lineup of artistic uplifting and emotionally resonant games from developers of all sizes from around the world, developers of all sides, Oh, so like big developers and small developers. (0:17:50) Bev: Mm-hmm, tall ones and short ones, you know. (0:17:51) Codey: I was like, chill children. (0:17:56) Codey: Children develop excited about that. (0:18:00) Codey: Always excited to see what I will begrudgingly send my spend money that I don’t have on for sure. (0:18:06) Bev: right? (0:18:09) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:18:10) Bev: And don’t have time to actually play now. (0:18:12) Bev: No. (0:18:14) Codey: Um, animal cross speaking of money, uh, animal crossing Lego, um, new sets are coming, um, and they, so I think when Al, all we hit, all we (0:18:17) Bev: No. (0:18:25) Codey: the only information that we had at the time that I’ll put this information in was that they’re coming on August 1st. (0:18:31) Codey: There’s a couple of different sets. (0:18:32) Codey: And, uh, there’s a small video of K K slider playing the guitar on Lego. (0:18:38) Codey: Um, and in the video, they say, love that they have to say Lego KK Minifigure (0:18:42) Codey: does not actually sing or move. (0:18:46) Codey: Like that’s, I’m like, what? (0:18:47) Bev: It should. (0:18:51) Bev: Like how dare they advertise a KK Slider that doesn’t actually sing. (0:18:56) Codey: Yeah. (0:18:57) Codey: The audacity. (0:19:00) Codey: So yeah, but since that news dropped, they are out. (0:19:05) Codey: They are not out, but they are on the webs. (0:19:09) Codey: We can see them. (0:19:10) Codey: We can see what there is. (0:19:12) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:19:12) Codey: They are coming soon. (0:19:15) Codey: So we have two. (0:19:16) Codey: We have at least two so far as of recording. (0:19:19) Codey: We have KK’s concert at the plaza. (0:19:22) Codey: This one is going to be $80. (0:19:26) Codey: Probably not including tax, because that’s how capitalism works. (0:19:32) Codey: In it, we have KK, Isabelle, and Audi? (0:19:36) Codey: Audi? (0:19:37) Codey: I don’t know how people would want to say that. (0:19:39) Bev: Mmm, I don’t know (0:19:40) Codey: OK. (0:19:41) Codey: The Wolf, the orange wolf, who is carrying around a cherry ice cream. (0:19:43) Bev: Mm-hmm (0:19:47) Codey: Looks very cute. (0:19:49) Codey: This set includes the plaza front, a small cafe stand, (0:19:54) Codey: KK’s fan. (0:19:56) Codey: A guitar, a mic, or a cycle box, a boom box, a bunch of other stuff. (0:20:01) Codey: But in the description of this, something caught my attention. (0:20:07) Codey: And nothing in the images on the website explains what this is possibly going to be. (0:20:13) Codey: But, quote, “Just like in the video game, the tree conceals a surprise.” (0:20:22) Codey: They also say, “And the resident’s service flag is customizable.” (0:20:25) Codey: I don’t care about that. (0:20:26) Codey: What? (0:20:29) Codey: The tree? (0:20:30) Bev: Is it just gonna be a leaf that’s gonna fall out? (0:20:33) Bev: What is this mechanic? (0:20:34) Codey: I mean, there is a leaf on the ground in this picture. (0:20:37) Codey: But that’s not like a surprise. (0:20:39) Bev: That’s not a surprise, that’s just an icon that’s falling out. (laughing) (0:20:40) Codey: It’s a leaf off of a tree. (0:20:43) Codey: Is it like a wasp? (0:20:45) Codey: Do we get wasps? (0:20:46) Bev: I want a full, I want a full bed to fall out of it. (0:20:47) Codey: I want the hive. (0:20:50) Codey: Oh my gosh. (0:20:51) Codey: I want to fold a little leaf. (0:20:52) Bev: Like defying, like physics, like just coming out of the tree. (0:20:55) Codey: Oh, you mean the leaf when the symbol of the leaf falls out, (0:21:01) Codey: not the little orange leaves that they have? (0:21:01) Bev: Uh-huh, yeah, like you shake it and then the little, (0:21:05) Bev: yeah, the leaf comes down with the furniture item (0:21:08) Codey: I mean, maybe, but I want the wasp nest, actually. (0:21:10) Bev: or whatever it is. (0:21:14) Bev: Oh, oh, oh, actually I want that now. (laughing) (0:21:17) Codey: Yeah, I love how that, earlier when I was looking at this, (0:21:21) Codey: it said coming soon on August 1st and now on the website. (0:21:25) Codey: I’m coming soon on DATE! (0:21:28) Codey: The website’s having some issues. (0:21:28) Bev: on date, oh dear. (0:21:31) Codey: Um… (0:21:32) Codey: What do you think of this set, Bev? (0:21:32) Bev: Mm. (0:21:35) Bev: I think it looks very cute. (0:21:36) Codey: Mmm? (0:21:37) Codey: laughs I don’t know. (0:21:37) Bev: I think the van’s a little random, (0:21:39) Bev: ‘cause do we even have the van? (0:21:41) Codey: I don’t know. (0:21:42) Bev: And we don’t have the van in the game, (0:21:44) Bev: so it’s just like a nod to a pocket camp, (0:21:45) Codey: Does KK have a van in pocket camp? (0:21:49) Bev: ‘cause I don’t know. (0:21:52) Bev: I feel like there was cute, there were vans in there. (0:21:54) Bev: I don’t know, I haven’t played it in years, don’t quote me. (0:21:55) Codey: No, it opens up like a transformer and he’s inside with what looks like a pizza and a coffee. (0:22:00) Codey: And you can take that, cuz it’s like a camper van, so you can take the top off and the top has, you can put it as a guitar and one of his musics in there. (0:22:09) Bev: I don’t know, it looks very cute, I love how KK Cider looks, but I’m not willing to pay I think $80 for it, AL, I’m sorry, like you can collect them for me. (0:22:09) Codey: It’s just, it’s real, I was, yeah. (0:22:17) Codey: Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm, [LAUGH] al, we need, we need. (0:22:23) Bev: I will live vicariously through you. (0:22:26) Codey: To live, yeah, live vicariously. (0:22:29) Codey: The other one is Fly with Dodo Airlines, and this one is $38 USD. (0:22:35) Codey: It includes Wilbur, the pilot, and Tangy, the cat, Tangy. (0:22:41) Codey: I’ve never been Tangy, okay. (0:22:42) Bev: I feel like Tangy, maybe, or I feel like it could probably go either way. (0:22:44) Codey: Dude, that’s the thing is I’m never sure if they’re going for like Tangy, like the flavor, or Tangy like tangerine. (0:22:50) Bev: Language is fluid. (0:22:51) Bev: It is what you want it to be. (0:22:54) Codey: It’s, it’s the orm. (0:22:56) Codey: With the little, with the little leaf on his noggin. (0:22:57) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:22:59) Codey: Um, this one includes the airport, the dock, the plane, um, like a little ticket. (0:22:59) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:23:01) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:23:03) Bev: It’s specifically the blue airport, in case that matters. (0:23:07) Codey: Oh, I didn’t know there was different airport. (0:23:09) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:23:10) Bev: Well, I’ll see you next time. (0:23:12) Bev: Bye! (0:23:22) Codey: as is tradition as is tradition um so yeah those two are coming out August 1st so if you have disposable income and I think that these are super cute I’m not gonna lie if they came up with one that has had blue bear in it or Raymond I I might drop down probably not but like I would seriously think about it and then my wallet would be like… (0:23:44) Bev: Uhhh. (0:23:46) Bev: Ooh. (0:23:53) Codey: “Don’t you do it!” (0:23:54) Bev: Uh-huh, I would not be surprised if once they’re done doing all these buildings that they’ll just release the individual characters (0:24:03) Bev: almost like a (0:24:03) Codey: My soul just left my body. (0:24:06) Bev: Like a mystery pack to you like I can see them doing that and making it like a collectible like whatever what’s in the pack or you know (0:24:12) Codey: I just want, I just want Blue Bear. (0:24:15) Codey: I love Blue Bear. (0:24:16) Codey: I don’t know why I love Blue Bear so much, (0:24:18) Codey: but I just love Blue Bear. (0:24:21) Codey: Moonstone Island has a new blog post. (0:24:27) Codey: Excuse me. (0:24:28) Codey: And just before we get into the details of the blog post, (0:24:32) Codey: I wrote it as if the in-game characters wrote the blog. (0:24:36) Codey: So it’s like, it’s like, hey Osano here, (0:24:36) Bev: Amazing. (0:24:39) Codey: like here I’m gonna talk about. (0:24:41) Codey: And then it’s like, hey, it’s this other character. (0:24:43) Codey: Osano got anxious and needed to take a break. (0:24:46) Codey: So I’m here. (0:24:47) Codey: So like I, it’s kind of hard with the, (0:24:51) Codey: the way that they use that voice. (0:24:53) Codey: Like I don’t know what is like a legit thing that’s coming out versus what is just them (0:25:02) Codey: and just like saying things. (0:25:05) Codey: Like what’s the characters just saying things? (0:25:08) Bev: Mm-hmm. Wait, which one are you can– oh, go ahead. (0:25:09) Codey: Like they say, they say something like how in this new, (0:25:12) Codey: the new DLC, which is magic themed, (0:25:15) Codey: that there’s gonna be a lectern from which you can like speak or whatever. (0:25:19) Codey: And I’m like, okay, does that, (0:25:20) Codey: is there gonna be like a mechanic with the lectern or is it literally just an item? (0:25:25) Codey: Or is it like you go to the lectern and you speak and do something and it does something? (0:25:30) Codey: Like, I’m just, there’s, it’s not. (0:25:32) Codey: It’s not super clear to me. (0:25:34) Codey: Um, also they have the DLC and the free update coming. (0:25:37) Codey: And I, I read the DLC and I was like, okay, cool items. (0:25:40) Codey: And then it was like free update. (0:25:42) Codey: And I was like, Oh, this is also, this is also items. (0:25:46) Bev: I’m feeling that these are just items, probably. (0:25:48) Codey: It’s just that the DLC is magic themed items. (0:25:52) Codey: And that you can change the outside of your house. (0:25:56) Codey: Okay. (0:25:56) Codey: so why is it it what why is it paid versus the other one not being paid (0:25:58) Bev: Oh I meant like the lectern is just an item, like that there probably isn’t. (0:26:02) Codey: yeah I mean yeah but if so if they’re all just items and it doesn’t add any like content other than aesthetic things like I don’t know i’m getting way too deep into the into the mental weeds here we’ll probably get more information once it’s out (0:26:14) Bev: Mm. It’s because it’s steam. (0:26:18) Bev: That’s why, like, it’s not just like random things. (0:26:20) Bev: Maybe they’re that’s how they’re trying to sell it. (0:26:22) Bev: It’s like you want a witchy like. (0:26:26) Bev: I don’t know, witchy house, or I haven’t played this game, (0:26:28) Codey: Yeah, it doesn’t it doesn’t really say like what all is included. (0:26:29) Bev: so I don’t know what’s in here. (0:26:31) Bev: Mm-hmm [clears throat] (0:26:32) Codey: What is in each thing like it’s kind of like not because they also talked about how there’s new event later on they say new events map zooming napping more inventory slots a second tool wheel like okay cool is this part of the DLC or the free update or is it a secret third thing? (0:26:48) Codey: I don’t understand. (0:26:50) Codey: So it’d be great to get more clarity on that. (0:26:54) Codey: Yes, the DLC, there’s also not a price on that. But all of them have been $4 so it’s probably what it’s gonna be. And then the free update in the thing it says it’s going to make the island extremely cool. And also have furniture and I was like, okay, again, it was written as a character. So I was like, I don’t know what that means. (0:27:02) Bev: I have, mm-hmm. (0:27:15) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:27:18) Codey: There’s gonna be a fish bow shaped rug, which we’re all here for. We love fish bow. We stand fish bow. We want everything to get fish bowed. I don’t know if you listened to that episode yet. They were talking about (0:27:32) Codey: having a DLC or something like that where you can make any of your spirits fish bow. So instead of like so fish bowls like a little fish in a bowl because he’s with legs and he walks around. (0:27:39) Bev: Ooh. (0:27:44) Codey: So you would basically have the bowl and the legs but you just put another spirit. (0:27:50) Bev: Amazing. Okay. [laughs] (0:27:50) Codey: This is very cute. So yeah, and that’s not not quite out yet either, which is fine. There are new spirits though, in this and then there’s a new plushie coming. (0:28:02) Codey: I looked at it was it was a plushie. I’m not. Okay, you like it. I’m not you’re more of like a witchy vibes than I am so (0:28:04) Bev: It looks cute. I like the look of the plushie. Uh-huh. (0:28:09) Bev: Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. So this would go well, I think, with me. (0:28:12) Codey: Okay, cool. (0:28:16) Codey: Next is tiny garden. It’s this is literally just a Kickstarter launch notice. (0:28:22) Codey: There is not much this Kickstarter. There’s a picture and then a small amount of text quote plant your vegetables and You can trade them for furniture to customize tiny gardens and this delightful mix of farming puzzle and strategy. It’s giving Polly pocket. (0:28:39) Bev: I think that’s probably the intention. (0:28:42) Codey: The okay. (0:28:43) Bev: It looks very much like a polypuck. (0:28:46) Codey: I mean, it even has like the hinge. (0:28:47) Bev: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. (0:28:50) Codey: Like it looks like a clamshell and it has the hinge. (0:28:54) Codey: Did you play with Polly pockets? (0:28:56) Bev: I did not, but I do love many things and this is very much feeding into me wanting to play it because everything is small. (0:29:06) Codey: See, this is making me want like a physical one, versus a game. (0:29:10) Bev: That would be neat if that was part of, like, one of the stretch goals of, like, you can have an out on that’s a miniature version of, I don’t know, this whatever this is, this completed, or more advanced, I guess, version. (0:29:26) Bev: I mean, you have to build up to that, like, with any, with most farming games, you don’t just start off with everything looking so nice, like this. (0:29:32) Codey: Yeah Okay, I got a I got an update here (0:29:36) Codey: I’m an idiot if you look past the title of tiny garden it literally says (0:29:42) Codey: Build your own magical garden inside a 90s toy (0:29:49) Codey: Polly pocky confirmed (0:29:51) Bev: Okay, but are they gonna give us the toy? (0:29:53) Codey: I need the physical I need like if this was a physical thing you you got me I had a Polly pocket castle when I was young (0:29:53) Bev: Can we buy the toy? (0:29:55) Bev: It’s just– (0:30:02) Codey: and I Loved that thing. I played with that thing all the time. There was a car (0:30:02) Bev: Ooh. (0:30:07) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:30:07) Codey: There was like all this stuff and I I didn’t eat any of it (0:30:12) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:30:13) Codey: I loved that thing (0:30:15) Codey: And that would if I could get like a Polly pocket insect themed things would be so cute (0:30:16) Bev: They’re like– (0:30:21) Codey: It’s never gonna happen (0:30:23) Bev: Probably not. (0:30:25) Bev: And I’m like, is this also, like, (0:30:28) Bev: is this also gonna be a mobile game? (0:30:30) Bev: ‘Cause I feel like if it’s a small, like, puzzle thing, (0:30:33) Bev: it could also work well with mobile. (0:30:35) Bev: So what platforms, like, are they looking at doing it? (0:30:38) Codey: knows, uh, all we need, all we know is the developer and the stuff. (0:30:45) Codey: Uh, and the developers AO Norte, uh, quote is a trans-inclusive LGB, (0:30:49) Codey: LG TBIQ plus friendly game dev studio set in Galicia, North Spain, (0:30:55) Codey: crafting colorful and enjoyable experiences. (0:30:58) Bev: love that. It might be their first, looks like. (0:30:59) Codey: Love that I felt really, so my, I have like very selective dyslexia. (0:31:05) Codey: And the other day I was trying to say L-G-T-B-I-Q. (0:31:08) Codey: Plus and if I try and say it it just comes out like it just comes out garbled and I was like and I kept trying to say it and then I ended up just being like you know what I mean and then I was like no I’m not one of those people I’m not one of those and it’s like ABCD like I hate when people do that it’s so annoying and I was like I’m not one of those I’m just struggling with words (0:31:10) Bev: Mm hmm. I understand. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Just struggling. And like, I am now like the special emphasis like program manager at work for the LDBTQ+ at… (0:31:38) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:31:40) Bev: I have to say this and spell this out all the time. And I’m like, Oh, my goodness. Did I get the G and the B mixed up? So I understand. Uh huh. Uh huh. Someone at work had, I think, (0:31:46) Codey: Well, I guess that as long as you include all of it, I guess. (0:31:54) Codey: Are you… (0:31:55) Bev: described like had actually said like the acronym out loud, like licked B licked licked bit. (0:31:59) Codey: Oh, I just say queer. No, I’m just trans-inclusive queer developer. (0:32:05) Bev: You know, I just started saying that because that’s a lot easier than stumbling over the letters. (0:32:08) Codey: Though I guess then it’s unsure if they are queer or if they support queer people, I don’t, whatever. (0:32:10) Bev: Uh huh. Uh huh. (0:32:18) Codey: Awesome, love that, thank you, EoNorte, excited to see more about Tiny Garden. (0:32:24) Bev: I don’t know if I would play it on mobile, even though I kind of want it on mobile. (0:32:25) Codey: Would be more excited if it was on mobile. (0:32:27) Codey: I would play it if it was on mobile. (0:32:29) Codey: It’s unclear at this stage. (0:32:35) Codey: And then it’s in your hands, just like the Polly Pockets used to be. (0:32:36) Bev: I know it’s the struggle, which I’m sure I’ll get into later, but the struggle of having to be in meetings and talking to people all day and then I clock off and I’m like, I don’t want anything to do with this social item that is in my pocket. (0:32:54) Bev: Yeah, so I do and I don’t want it in my pocket, or sorry, yes, Polly Pocket in my pocket. (0:33:03) Bev: I want the physical version and maybe the mobile. (0:33:07) Codey: Yeah, okay, sorry. This next one is the most, like I’m just so confused by this one. (0:33:19) Codey: So it’s called Forage Friends. I’m just gonna say it, the website is not good y’all. (0:33:26) Codey: I appreciate what you’re going for, PyTrap Studios, but this website is, everything’s getting cut off on the sides for me. I did it on my Mac and now I’m doing it on my PC. It’s the (0:33:37) Bev: Mmm. (0:33:37) Codey: things are just getting cut off. It’s difficult to read everything. Also, until very, it is just not clear what this is on. I know it’s mobile, but like what? And then I was like, oh, well, (0:33:40) Bev: Yeah, same. (0:33:53) Codey: let me go look at it. It’s not on the store. It looks like they’re not even in beta yet, (0:33:59) Codey: but nowhere, it doesn’t say currently in beta. It is super unclear about what is going on here. (0:34:07) Bev: In the progress, they need a timeline. (0:34:08) Codey: In the progress of it. Something, man. Something. Also, there is a ton of like merch already. Like you can get a Forage Friends pride pin. You can get soap that they say is miles cold process artisan soap. It looks super, super pretty, but like, so they’re basically like already, (0:34:18) Bev: Oh, wow. (0:34:22) Bev: What? (0:34:25) Bev: Ooh, that looks pretty though. (0:34:29) Codey: they already have like a merch store for their characters. (0:34:36) Bev: I’m wondering if this is like kind of the example of Nokazan being like, “We’re going to start playing a game now.” (0:34:43) Bev: These are folks that are in a different industry that learned how to code for website and mobile games and have fleshed out all these other marketing type stuff, but not the game itself yet. (0:34:56) Codey: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. I have no idea. Um, the pie with the teeth, they’re the pie trap, the developers logo spot on, love it. And they have a couple different, (0:35:02) Bev: I like the pie with the teeth. (0:35:10) Codey: they have one that’s more cartoony. And then if you scroll down a little bit further, there’s like one that looks way more ferocious. Um, but yeah, I mean, (0:35:15) Bev: Mm hmm. Oh, OK. (0:35:16) Codey: you can’t go wrong with that. That’s super cute. (0:35:20) Bev: So in their description of the studios, PyTrap Studios, (0:35:23) Bev: they do say that they are founded during the pandemic by a veteran artist. (0:35:27) Bev: So of the gaming industry. (0:35:30) Bev: So they’ve been in the gaming industry and make sense that they would have merch as being artists like. (0:35:36) Codey: Yeah, I mean and it shows that they’ve been in the gaming industry this this game looks good like from the things that they have (0:35:39) Bev: Mm hmm. (0:35:44) Codey: It’s a little unclear to me. It’s so it’s like part (0:35:47) Codey: Okay, let me read it forage friends growing motivation is a cozy mobile game that is built on the foundation of proven (0:35:54) Codey: Psychological principles that guide the mind to repetitive behaviors utilizing these principles to create and build strong desirable habits (0:36:01) Codey: Forge Friends wraps these habit and routine building techniques in a gamified experience that is (0:36:06) Codey: both cozy and wholesome allowing even the most casual of users to benefit so then they have on the website it gets cut off eventually but things like learn more about gardening so I guess in the game you get information about about gardening that is realistic to real life which is something I’ve yeah that’s what we’re here for so happy about that don’t really see how the gardening is done or anything like that yet. (0:36:24) Bev: Which we love! (0:36:30) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:36:35) Bev: Yeah. (0:36:36) Codey: It’s fine. (0:36:37) Bev: Mmhmm. (0:36:37) Codey: The next thing that they have is healthy living, “All you have to do is walk. (0:36:42) Codey: That’s it. (0:36:43) Codey: Gather resources and seeds with every step you take. (0:36:45) Codey: Link other health apps and devices to gain rewards. (0:36:48) Codey: Walk even more to discover the backstory of the locals in your town.” (0:36:52) Codey: So, Pokemon Go. (0:36:54) Bev: That’s what I’m thinking and I’m wondering also if they have a lot of merch to help like there’s something next to like the merch that says like buy the merch to help us develop the game or something so I think this is their way to not do kickstarter. (0:37:12) Bev: Maybe, and that’s why they have so much more charity to help kind of support the development and this is like very early stages and they have like something about a Sakura con recap, so I’m assuming they’re all in. (0:37:24) Bev: They’re selling this merch, which is why they’re selling it and probably also starting to market the game. So I’m assuming that’s why they have merch, which actually is not a bad strategy kind of love that. (0:37:36) Codey: Yeah, and they say on their, so this is another thing off their Twitter, part dating sim, (0:37:42) Codey: part visual novel, and part health app. (0:37:46) Codey: So as you walk and do stuff, I guess you get access to more of like the RPG elements of it, and you use, you grow crops. (0:37:56) Codey: I don’t know if you do that with the people, I don’t know, Desmond is looking, Desmond’s looking pretty attractive. (0:37:58) Bev: I’m kind of excited. (0:38:05) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:38:06) Codey: And that’s the last part that I want to talk about is “make friends.” Maybe more? Join the Garden Club. (0:38:14) Codey: Meet a selection of interesting characters with riveting stories that will have you on the edge of your seat. (0:38:18) Codey: Walk every day with them. Get to know them. Find friendship or even love. (0:38:24) Codey: Love. (0:38:24) Codey: Yeah. (0:38:26) Bev: Okay, I I feel like I’m sold like I’m looking through their blog of (0:38:30) Bev: Sakura con and it’s like they have so many pictures and they’re having so much fun. It’s like I want to support them now (0:38:38) Codey: It is really cute, oh my gosh. (0:38:40) Codey: Why am I getting so much? (0:38:41) Codey: It is really cute. (0:38:42) Codey: It’s giving like some of the videos that I saw whenever I was looking at maybe the gallery. (0:38:49) Codey: Maybe was I looking through the gallery or something? (0:38:51) Codey: I don’t know. (0:38:52) Bev: - Mm-hmm. (0:38:52) Codey: There’s like a messages. (0:38:55) Bev: Yeah, and it’s giving me, was it Bloom that’s on a little cranky game, the console, (0:39:04) Bev: with the handheld console? (laughs) (0:39:08) Codey: I’m sorry, I just saw a message this I’m like, I just saw this message in their gallery. There’s a text because like I think that either AI is it’s like either AI or it’s like pre determined like whatever’s but you asked Desmond Do you want to hang out later and said maybe tonight and you say Yeah, I think I can do that. (0:39:20) Bev: Oh. Oh. (0:39:24) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:39:32) Codey: What do you want to do? I’m a bit tired and just want to chill and he said, Oh, in that case, I can whip you up a nice home cooked meal. (0:39:38) Codey: What do you think? Only if it’s as tasty as you. (0:39:46) Codey: The other options are free food sounds good to me. And so long as you don’t poison me, but like, (0:39:52) Codey: What the heck? Oh my goodness. (0:39:56) Codey: But yeah, like showed like the texting mechanic and it kind of gave me like AI vibes and I was like, I don’t like that. (0:39:58) Bev: That’s interesting though.

(0:40:15) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:40:18) Bev: So is this, is AI possibly a way to (0:40:22) Bev: make that more adaptable, but also we know how terrible AI can be. (0:40:25) Codey: Yeah, and like, I don’t in the beginning of one of the AI things, the beginning, like, not development, but deployment of one of these AI things. Recently, it was trying to get someone to leave his wife. (0:40:34) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:40:41) Codey: It was like, like the AI was like, well, I love you. Does your wife even love you? I don’t think you should be with your wife anymore. And like, that’s, that’s what this is kind of giving a little bit. I mean, I’m, I’m gonna, I’m cautiously optimistic. (0:40:55) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:40:55) Codey: It does look super cute. I wouldn’t mind another like walking game, even though I have been ignoring both Pokemon Go and Pikmin Bloom lately. But maybe this would be the third, the secret third one. (0:41:00) Bev: Mm-hmm. (0:41:05) Bev: Uh-huh. (0:41:07) Bev: That’s the one that gets you going. (0:41:09) Bev: Yeah, Monster Hunter failed.

No fewer than three NWSL games were decided in the final moments of stoppage time last weekend, but each were decided in different ways. San Diego survived its battle of attrition through well timed bravery, while Portland's overwhelming attacking talent finally breached Louisville's walls. Bay FC and the Houston Dash fully embraced their stubborn, attack-loving identities and the Dash tripped into victory. Eric and Evan ponder how these teams all managed a late result, hear from Bay FC head coach Albertin Montoya on his side's approach, and parse what it means for these teams' talents more broadly.

On Today's episode Pretty Mike talks with Jeremy "Captain" Kaufmann about his company Core Events. They run 4 in person events and 4 virtual events annually and the Double Down bicycling challenge starts July 1st. Get signed up. It's going to be lots of fun. https://www.corefitnesspdx.com/Mike and Jeremy also spend a lot of time talking about the state of OCR in the PNW. With the nationals all combining over the last few years and pulling out of the PNW we are left without OCR. Not including Terrain Race or their other companies we have less than a dozen OCRs in the Seattle Portland area of which 3 are national brands. Spartan has dropped Portland, Tough Mudder failed to deliver Portland last year and backed out of Portland going forward, Rugged Maniac stopped doing Seattle before covid and doesn't appear to be coming back. So we have one Trifecta weekend in Monroe Wa, one Tough Mudder event in Black Diamond WA, and one Rugged Maniac in Portland. So, it's up to us all to support all the local OCRs and event companies like Core Events to help grow a local community and not rely on the nationals that all appear to be abandoning the PNW. Again, sign up for these events. We need more. https://www.corefitnesspdx.com/www.BeastNetPod.com Music Info: https://beastnetpod.com/music #beastnetpod #OCRBuddy #OCRStrong #teamnuun #madetougher #defineyourlegacy #raceLOCAL --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/beastnetpod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/beastnetpod/support

All three of our clubs took maximum points in important home fixtures, currently leaving each in a playoff berth.  Ordinarily, it'd be a good bet that such success would be the focus of this edition of Radio Cascadia. However with two derbies this week and midweek matches for everyone, we keep Ep. 122 focused on the future. This 45 minute installment primarily features previews of the Vancouver-Seattle derby on Wednesday as well as Portland's home tie with Colorado. The special set up allows us the flexibility to release again later in the week with more accurate previews of Vancouver's trip to Orlando and, of course, the Seattle-Portland derby on Sunday than we'd be able to provide before Wednesday's slate of matches.  We discuss the developing partnership between Fredy Montero and Yordy Reyna with AFTN's Michael McColl, also taking a look at how Carl Robinson will set up tactically against Sounders.  Will a day less rest than Whitecaps doom Seattle's trip north? Brian Schmetzer's lineup conundrum in this quick three match stretch is the focus of our Sounders side of Wednesday's derby.  A 2-2 draw in Commerce City left Portland with a bad taste in their mouths after their last match with the Rapids. Will Caleb Porter be able to devote enough resources to their midweek home match against them without sacrificing Seattle away?  This may well turn out to be a defining week for the 2017 season, particularly in Cascadia. Get ready for the first half of it with RC Ep. 122!  Playlist: 00:00 - Cascadia goal of the week, MLS team of the week 06:30 - Whitecaps perspective derby preview with Michael McColl of AFTN 17:25 - Sounders perspective derby preview with Ari Liljenwall 30:30 - Timbers v Colorado Rapids preview

Not many nicknames stick like Sueño stuck to Jorge Villafaña, but those days are over for the Santos Laguna and US national team left back. He’s an established pro now, an MLS Cup winner and subject of a seven-figure transfer fee from Liga MX club Santos Laguna. In fact, this could be the biggest week of Villafaña’s career, as the US take on Trinidad & Tobago and Mexico in Hexagonal matches that could determine whether the Americans book a trip to Russia. The guys link up with Villafaña for a 1v1 interview you won’t want to miss, then break down the US’s warmup draw with Venezuela, Bruce Arena’s 40-man preliminary roster for the Gold Cup and the U-20’s loss in the World Cup quarterfinals.  There’s plenty to talk about in Major League Soccer as well. Jesus scores! Jesus Ferreira, of course. The 16-year-old FC Dallas Homegrown and son of former MLS MVP David Ferreira wasted no time in his debut making history, so what’s next for the young winger? What’s next for Real Salt Lake and Mike Petke after the latter called out his team for another appalling performance? That’s not all, as the guys parse Pablo Mastroeni’s stats vs. heart comments and give Will Bruin a pass for celebrating against his former team. In the mailbag, a listener suggests a three-man backline for the US ahead of Russia 2018, another castigates the guys for not giving Seattle-Portland in the Open Cup more love and an emailer questions Michael Bradley’s place in the MLS and US pecking order.

Michael McColl of AFTN joins Ari, Jackson and Steven to discuss Vancouver's 2017 Canadian Championship prospects and an important league game against DC over the weekend.  The group ponders whether Sounders' victory over RSL marked a step forward, or more of the same. Prost Portland Editor Matt Hoffman calls in to shed light on Portland's 4-1 loss in Montreal, and then helps us take a look at the first Seattle-Portland derby of the year.  A derby, a domestic cup, top notch analysis and some pizza. It's all in Ep. 113, tune in and get ready for a big week of action in Cascadia.  PLAYLIST:  4:10 - Michael McColl of AFTN on VWFC 2-0 SKC, TSS Rovers, Canadian Championship & DC United preview 35:00 - Sounders review v RSL: How much progress was that? 47:00 - Matt Hoffman on Timbers' tough trip to Montreal 57:00 - Derby Preview: Portland Timbers @ Seattle Sounders

On this episode, I speak with Ashly Nicole, this year's Monster Energy pit reporter for the Vans Warped Tour. She was a real hoot to meet and hang out with at the 2016 Warped Tour in Seattle/Portland, and it's great to see her doing so well and thriving. We talk about her beginnings as an interviewer/photographer, as well as everything Warped Tour related, including how she got the gig as Pit Reporter.
