Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Majora's Mask. We talk a bit about getting stuck, the structure, and do some extended catch-up on email. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Up to Swamp Dungeon Issues covered: making it feel different, long-winded save mechanics, interrupting your play, expecting it to be okay to let the world end, the threatening moon, how games hold up, the usual strategy for reuse: more of the same, making the main mechanic out of a minor Ocarina mechanic, recontextualizing models and similar locations, the groom mask and the new interactions, constraining locations you can reach, the audio mix, being able to control for when certain events happen or not, being unclear on whether the water is poison, searching high and low for a bottle, a non-Nintendo moment, implying that the player could have been prepared, looking forward to more masks, reusing your engine, platform architecture converging, changing goals requiring changing programs, a podcast guidebook, Tim's annotated notes, finally having a list, recency bias, convergence of mechanics in AAA games, a story of a dev inspired by events and the podcast, asset flips, Majora's Mask inspiration.  Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: CalamityNolan, Outer Wilds, Melancholia, Stranger Things, Wind Waker, Ultima, Hitman, GameCube, Oddberry Games, Vitor, Eye of the Beholder (series), Doom (series), Fallout (series), Monkey Island (series), Warren Spector, Origin Systems, Apple ][, PlayStation, Xbox, Unreal, Republic Commando, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Mystery Dip, Carlos, Dark Souls, Deadly Premonition, Hollow Knight, Ubisoft, Anthony Vaccaro, Synersteel Studios, Eric Heimberg, Sandra Powers, Nicholas Vaccaro, Maria Vaccaro, Valley of Shadow, What Remains of Edith Finch, The Witness, The Talos Principle, Raymond, Drew, David Lynch, Takashi Tezuka, Twin Peaks, Link's Awakening, Dwarf Fortress, Mors, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Majora's Mask Links: Valley of Shadow via Steam  Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com mailto://devgameclub@gmail.com

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠Dive into the breakout sensation Pokémon Pokopia on Notorious Mass Effect with Analytic Dreamz. Launched March 5, 2026, as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, this cozy life simulation spin-off—developed by Game Freak and Omega Force—has become a surprise system seller, moving 2.2 million copies in its first four days, including 1 million in Japan alone.Players embody a Ditto transformed into human form in a post-apocalyptic world where humans vanished, tasked with rebuilding a Pokémon utopia through resource gathering, crafting, building homes and habitats, farming, cooking, and befriending Pokémon who aid with abilities like planting (Grass-types) or irrigation (Water-types). No combat—just pure relaxation, creativity, and multiplayer for up to four players online or local.Inspired by Animal Crossing, Dragon Quest Builders, and Minecraft, the game offers 15–25 hours for the main story, 50–100+ hours with side content, and endless open-ended play. It boasts hundreds of Pokémon as companions, stunning Switch 2 visuals, and an 89 Metacritic score—among the highest-rated Pokémon titles ever—for its fresh, charming take on the franchise.Analytic Dreamz analyzes its massive impact: boosting Nintendo's market cap by up to $14 billion, driving stock surges, topping eShop charts, causing physical sellouts, and validating the rise of cozy, non-combat games. This segment explores how Pokopia expands Pokémon beyond battles, attracts casual players, and signals Nintendo's shift toward experimental genres.Hosted by Analytic Dreamz on Notorious Mass Effect—your go-to for in-depth gaming breakdowns and industry trends.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

There's a new Nintendo 3DS in town and it's taking the retro emulation handheld scene by storm. This week Deeb joins the podcast to discuss the android-based device the AYN Thor: why it's one of the best handhelds we've ever used, what it means for the future of handheld gaming, and why companies like Nintendo and Valve should take notice. With Android's ability to play PC games natively, the future of gaming has gotten very interesting, and we break down what it could mean for the industry. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Yoshi and the Mysterious Book getting a release date and price, Nvidia's controversial new AI-based DLSS 5, Pokemon Pokopia's meteoric sales numbers and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

How Card Show Vendors Actually Make Money | Special Conditions 200 Episode 200 of Special Conditions is a real behind-the-table conversation with two guests who live the hobby from the vendor side. We're joined by Zach and Niche from the New England card scene to talk about how they got started, what made them fall in love with vending, and what the card show grind actually looks like once you're the one buying, pricing, trading, and trying to keep inventory moving. This one isn't about fake guru advice or hobby mythology. It's about the stuff that actually matters: why repeat customers matter more than squeezing every percentage point, why sticker prices and presentation change the whole buying experience, and the mistakes you only make once if you're lucky. The stories about bad buyouts, early inventory mistakes, and learning how to price for negotiation make this one especially good for anyone who has ever thought about setting up at a show. On top of that, the episode wanders exactly where a good hobby podcast should: Whatnot growing pains, 151 spikes, Prismatic frustration, Japanese cards, oddball collectibles, and the kind of side quests that happen when four cardboard degenerates get talking. It feels like hanging out at the table after a busy show — which is probably why it works so well.  00:00 Intro + guest setup 01:30 How Adam knows the Zachs 06:00 Why card show vending is a volume business 06:45 Whatnot selling, shipping headaches, and singles 13:30 Buying strategy: moving cards 15:30 Dallas spend vs New England spend 17:15 Pricing philosophy at shows 18:45 Big trades, slabs, and hot table stories 29:00 Could Pokémon ever do serialized cards? 32:30 151 spikes, Prismatic, and current market talk 40:00 How both guests got started in the hobby 45:00 Biggest mistakes new vendors make 48:00 Why sticker prices matter 55:00 Show layout, traffic flow, and vendor setup 01:00:00 Slab guards and deal friction 01:10:00 Growing as a vendor  01:20:00 What actually belongs in the showcase vs binders 01:27:30 Rapid-fire advice for new vendors 01:42:30 Why Pokémon's community keeps people in the hobby 01:46:00 Final thoughts + where to find everyone

Is this finally all that there is to know about Stop 'N' Swop? The legendary scrapped feature across Rare's Nintendo 64 library was laid bare by bear and bird creator Gregg Mayles, revealing precisely how Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, and Banjo-Tooie would have interacted, what the Ice Key would be used for on both Donkey Kong Island and the Isle O'Hags, and what might have been taken out of Tooie into a future Rare game!

Is the political landscape starting to feel like a game of Mortal Kombat? In Episode 298 of the All About Nothing podcast, Barrett Gruber and Zac King dive into a week defined by "blunders and breakdowns."The guys start with the relatable struggle of DIY home repairs—why does every project require three trips to Lowe's?—before shifting to a massive legal showdown: Nintendo is suing the Trump administration. They break down how the current tariff policies are driving up tech prices and what this means for the future of gaming.The political commentary turns sharp as they discuss the firing of Kristi Noem and the controversy surrounding a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign. Was it a patriotic boost or a political blunder? From the "religious spectacle" of the National Prayer Breakfast to the role of diversity in companies like SpaceX, Barrett and Zac question where the nation is headed and why so many voters still feel like they don't have a political home.Key Topics: #NintendoVsTrump #KristiNoem #TariffImpact #PrayerBreakfast #SpaceX #DIYFails #PoliticalIdentity #220MillionAdBlitz #AllAboutNothingPodcast #BarrettAndZacZac King | LinktreeLuke Basso "Filmperia" YouTube ChannelBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:Everplay Sports & Social's 11th Masters of Putt PuttMarch 28th @ Frankies Fun Park Teams of at least 3 will compete for Glory!

This week on VG Pulse, we’re slowly getting the techfail sorted out!! We start off with side notes of work and general life, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the shutting down of Highguard apparently being the fault of its players, Nintendo trying to swing big with a lawsuit against the tariffs, Arc Raiders and Discord having a security breach in an amazing way, and a whole lot of lawsuits against Steam! After the news, Millennium gives his review of Farming Simulator 25, and we give a joint review of Voidtrain, before closing out with talk of anime!! All this and more up next on VGP 431!! … Continue reading "VG Pulse 431: FSR is Garbage"

This week Chris and Jamal dig into a packed episode full of Wayfarer news, hot takes, and a lot of common-sense discussion. They cover the fix for the Pokémon GO nomination spacebar bug, the nearby map issue, Niantic Spatial pausing OPR and retiring Overclock, and the arrival of Wayfarer nomination drafts—an update they both see as one of the biggest quality-of-life improvements Wayfarer has had in a long time. The main topic asks a bold question: what if Pokémon GO removed the ability to nominate POIs in-game and pushed all nominations through the Wayfarer website instead? What starts as a spicy hot take turns into a thoughtful conversation about better onboarding, higher-quality nominations, clearer expectations, and reducing the constant confusion from players who think they are nominating PokéStops instead of submitting Wayspots to Niantic's larger database. Chris and Jamal weigh the pros and cons, from better education and fewer junk nominations to the risk of losing casual contributors and slowing map growth. They also talk about whether Wayfarer may be entering a post-backlog era, with eMiLy filtering out more coal, review areas feeling wider, and nominations moving faster than ever. From there, they jump into a fun “One's Gotta Go” debate featuring Pokémon, Mario, Call of Duty, and EA Sports, before wrapping up with two great Wayspots of the Week and a Coal of the Week that serves as a reminder that even a beautiful mural is still ineligible if it sits on K-12 school property. https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/whats-the-point-of-having-pokemon-go-if-my-nomination-wont-show-up-in-game/108679 Stick around for: ✅ Spatial / Scopely News ✅ One's Gotta Go ✅ Wayspots / Coal of the Week ✅ Dad Jokes (of course!)

This week on Nintendo Therapy, Harrison and Kevin sit down to talk about the latest Mario movie trailers and what they might mean for Nintendo fans. They also break down highlights from the recent Capcom presentation, share their thoughts on the newest Nintendo Indie Direct announcements, and react to the reveal of Yoshi's new game coming out in May.

The unintentional break has allowed for more time to gestate on the info given by Jason Ronald about Project Helix (the codename for the next Xbox) as Sean and Marc discuss the early details of the console and if they are convinced this is really going to deliver on the promise of Xbox and PC or if this is just sugarcoating the strategy that was already in the works before? Sean's also been playing a lot of games over this time as he has plenty of indies to discuss with 1348 Ex Voto, Mr. Sleepy Man, Love Eternal, Demon Tides, and Homura Hime all on the docket. Plus, he also picked up Pokémon Pokopia, and although still early on with the game, could this be the one that gets him to appreciate the Survival Craft genre? It certainly has the juice for sure. Marc also finished Resident Evil Requiem. Plus, Satya Nadella says he's in it for the long haul on Xbox, when Xbox Mode comes to Windows 11 PC's, Nintendo is suing the US Government over tarriffs, the Newzoo report shows how Survival games are becoming the new "It" genre in gaming, plus what it says about PC gaming too, NetEase cuts off Nagoshi's studio funding and more!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/_Trk7H3t2LE

In this episode of the Can We Talk? R&B podcast, Ian sits down with rising powerhouse vocalist Vella, a Cuban-American artist out of Tampa whose raw, soul-drenched voice has been turning heads worldwide. Vella shares how a simple TikTok cover recorded out of boredom during the pandemic turned into a viral moment that led to label attention, a deal with an indie LA label, and ultimately signing with Universal Sweden. She breaks down the years of vocal training and hard work behind her “overnight” success, her deep love for live instrumentation and classic soul/blues/rock, and the emotional process of crafting her debut project All My Love. From crying in the studio while recording the aching ballad “Dead Roses” to feeling the rush of performing for European crowds for the first time, Vella opens up about heartbreak, resilience, and the power of vulnerability in music—while also revealing her inner Zelda-loving, Nintendo-obsessed nerd.

Willkommen zurück in Tristram! Anlässlich des 30. Geburtstags der Diablo-Reihe und dem Start der 12. Season in Diablo IV haben wir uns am Lagerfeuer versammelt, um in Erinnerungen zu schwelgen. Lea, AK, Micha und Jessie sprechen über alles, was diese Action-RPG-Reihe so unsterblich macht: Das legendäre Sounddesign, den endlosen Grind nach dem perfekten Loot, unsere Lieblingsklassen und natürlich die Traumata, die uns der Butcher, fiese Dschungelgnome oder Kadala verpasst haben. Egal ob ihr die Cutscenes genießt oder wie Jessie alles gnadenlos wegklickt – hier kommt jeder Diablo-Fan auf seine Kosten. Außerdem werfen wir am Ende einen genauen Blick auf die blutigen Neuerungen von Season 12 (inklusive DOOM-Crossover und Paladin-Testphase) und das kommende Add-on "Lord of Hatred".

Jake Martin and co-host Landry Smith return after a long break to discuss the current “state of play” for gaming, including major shifts at PlayStation and Xbox, the Switch 2's early momentum, and how PC and console experiences are increasingly converging. They share frustrations with rising subscription costs and debate whether subscription models help or hurt creativity. In Landry's new segment “Let's Fix That,” they call out digital storefront “slop”—misleading, low-quality, and explicit shovelware flooding PlayStation and Nintendo shops—and suggest stronger curation and publishing limits. They wrap with what they've been playing, including Landry's praise for Xenoblade Chronicles X and Jake's surprisingly addictive time with Pokémon Pokopia.Timestamps:00:00 Intro01:48 Show Rundown and New Segment02:30 State of Play10:54 Are Game Subscriptions Worth It?14:06 PC vs Console23:14 Lets Fix That - "E-Slop"38:32 What Are Ya Playin'?38:50 Xenoblade Chronicles X44:27 Pokemon Pokopia54:48 Wrap Up and Plugs

In this week's show we start with FOLLOW UP: The world keeps trying to protect kids online — Indonesia just joined Australia, Spain, and Malaysia in banning social media for under-16s, while COPPA 2.0 sailed through the US Senate unanimously. Meanwhile, Roblox is using AI to clean up its chat, because apparently "Hurry TF up" is the hill they've chosen to die on — even as they're still dealing with the whole "pedophile problem" thing from January. On the AI copyright front, Gracenote is the latest company to sue OpenAI for helping itself to proprietary data, joining a growing queue of plaintiffs who apparently didn't get the memo that everything is training data now.IN THE NEWS: Anthropic is suing the Pentagon after being labeled a "supply chain risk" — apparently because the CEO said AI shouldn't be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons, which the Trump administration heard as fighting words. The delicious irony: the Pentagon is still running Claude in active operations while trying to phase it out. Speaking of active operations, investigators now think a missile strike on an Iranian girls' school may have been triggered by bad AI-generated intelligence from that same Claude-based system. So yes, the autocomplete that hallucinates your grocery list is also maybe accidentally bombing schools. Meta's Oversight Board is begging the company to get serious about AI-generated content after a fake war video from a Filipino fake news account racked up 700K views — while separately, Zuckerberg dropped cash on Moltbook, a "social network for AI agents" that turned out to be mostly humans larping as bots and had a security flaw that exposed everyone's API keys. The guy who built it basically vibe-coded the whole thing. Meta's own CTO said he didn't "find it particularly interesting." And yet. Oracle is hemorrhaging jobs and drowning in debt chasing AI dreams, its stock down 50% from peak — a timely reminder that "AI will replace workers" is currently manifesting as "companies set money on fire and lay people off to pay the electric bill." Researchers confirmed AI is homogenizing human thought and creativity — a thing some of us have been screaming since day one. A DOGE engineer allegedly walked out of the Social Security Administration with databases containing personal info on 500 million Americans on a thumb drive. The Ig Nobel Prize is relocating to Switzerland because it's no longer safe to invite international guests to America. Nintendo is suing the US government to get its tariff money back. SETI thinks it may have been accidentally filtering out alien signals due to space weather. And Pokémon Go players unknowingly spent a decade building a centimeter-accurate surveillance map of Earth's cities that's now guiding pizza delivery robots — which, honestly, tracks.In APPS & DOODADS: The GOG clan in Clash Royale just hit eight years old — respect. OpenAudible is the cross-platform audiobook manager your Audible library deserves, especially if you've got over a thousand books sitting there judging you.And finally in MEDIA CANDY: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 is here, and pretty beige. Live Nation settled its DOJ antitrust case for $200 million, kept Ticketmaster, and avoided a breakup — meanwhile court documents revealed employees joking about "robbing fans blind" and gouging "stupid" customers, which explains basically every concert ticket you've bought in the last decade. YouTube is now officially the world's largest media company at $62 billion in revenue. Bluesky's CEO is stepping down, which is either a bad sign or just the natural order of "person who built the cool thing hands it to the person who scales the cool thing." Dead Set — Charlie Brooker's 2008 zombie-in-the-Big-Brother-house miniseries — is worth a watch if you haven't. And trailers dropped for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 (March 24th), The Boys final season (April 8th), and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (April 1st — yes, really).Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Plenty of companies have torched their fortunes trying to smelt together a collection of hit games and genres, hoping to recreate others' success. Understandably, many folks (ourselves included) approached Pokopia with a cold skepticism. A Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Viva Piñata combination? It sounded too good to be  true. Friends… they did it. Pokopia isn't just a collection of great ideas; it's also a wholly interesting and original thing. We can't wait to tell you about this wonderful game. Plus, we look at Nintendo's peculiar plan for the rest of 2026. Get the full list of games (and other stuff) discussed at www.besties.fan. Want more episodes?

This week we're joined by Vincent Bitetti, former CEO of TDK Mediactive, for a fascinating look at one of gaming's most unusual industry journeys. Starting in the early days of BBS networks and sound-effect licensing, including iconic properties like Star Wars, Star Trek, and Babylon 5, Vincent helped pioneer digital media distribution before leading TDK's push into video games during the CD-ROM boom. We discuss how TDK evolved from an audio hardware giant into a multimedia powerhouse, their links to Nintendo and the GameCube era, and the art of spotting market opportunities before they explode. Contents:00:00 – The Week's Retro News Stories49:14 – TDK Mediactive InterviewThe Retro Hour VIDEO Version: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRetroHourPodcastPlease visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:Bitmap Books – https://www.bitmapbooks.comGo to https://surfshark.com/retrohour or use code RETROHOUR at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN!Play Expo Blackpool: https://www.playexpoblackpool.com/Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needsWe need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:https://theretrohour.com/support/https://www.patreon.com/retrohourJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8Website: http://theretrohour.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/X: https://twitter.com/retrohourukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.comTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohourShow notesNintendo PlayStation Prototype Found: https://tinyurl.com/yz2u7yh5Street Fighter 2 Amazing New Spectrum Version: https://tinyurl.com/ra7f3m4Mad Dog McCree In ScummVM: https://tinyurl.com/3zsx2xhsGame Boy Camera Phone Transfer: https://tinyurl.com/uktvuhtnSaturn's Last Mystery Revealed: https://tinyurl.com/2u9wde5b

And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we're going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”To Alexandra Schiff, ex WSJ reporter and daughter of Tom Wolfe, who wrote a semi adoring Silicon Valley book in 2017 holding Peter Thiel as a god (and now sits on this board with Thiel), and to Lauren Friedman Stat, who only seems to post Palantir sizzle reels and as best I can tell is married to a “David Stat” who is the name of a “Director” (not on the board?) of Palantir who is in a Form 4 for selling stock:What the fuck are you doing.

If you have an LID, are they accountable?? Why would the chair of a committee be target without the chair of the board or LID? Can a committee chair dissolve their own committee??Cracker Barrel - the scapegoat was the person of color who had “diversity” in their job description, not the longest tenured director who was also chair of the board but was a white guy - and Glass Lewis suggested voting out the brown dudeWar on Women: part 3 speed roundDOGE, DEI, and climate changeBlack women were disproportionately impacted by DOGE cuts.
