Joe expresses his excitement about diving back into the richly crafted world of Temeria, where players are greeted with stunning landscapes, intriguing quests, and complex characters. He shares his anticipation for exploring the vibrant new region of Toussaint, known for its picturesque vineyards and enchanting atmosphere, as well as the depth of storytelling that the DLC promises to deliver. This expansion is renowned for its narrative quality, and Joe is particularly eager to experience the new adventures that await him. As the conversation unfolds, Joe naturally transitions to inquire about Cody's progress in his own gaming journey, specifically focusing on his current playthrough of the futuristic open-world game, Cyberpunk 2077. Joe, keen to hear about Cody's experiences, asks about the choices he's made and how they have influenced his gameplay. Cody reveals some of the thrilling moments he has encountered, from engaging in high-stakes missions that test his strategic thinking to navigating the intricate relationships with various characters in Night City. The discussion highlights the contrasting gameplay styles of both titles, with Joe and Cody reflecting on the immersive storytelling and character development that each game offers. This leads to a broader conversation about the evolution of RPGs and how they continue to captivate players with their expansive worlds and dynamic narratives.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

What if volunteering somewhere changed your life forever?It might sound a little melodramatic, but that's exactly what happened for today's guest. After obtaining a Bachelor's Degree, a Master's Degree, and spending 7 years as an elementary school teacher, all it took was one specific volunteer position to change Amy's career trajectory. It was a cause she knew and loved and had enjoyed financially supporting. But when she started investing her time, something changed. She connected at a new level, grew in love for the work she was doing, and before she knew it, had filled out an application for employment.Enjoy the final conversation in our Side Quest series as we discuss one last way to invest your post-graduation free time with purpose: volunteering. And though you might not change careers because of it, is there a meaningful opportunity out there inviting you to invest your time and talents for the good of others?RELATED EPISODE(S)From Gap Year to Volunteer: Why "Failure" Should Always Be an Option (E87) - Apple, SpotifyOTHER RESOURCESAre you interested in serving a local InterVarsity chapter?

He shares his initial impressions of the novel, highlighting its groundbreaking exploration of cyberspace and artificial intelligence, and how it has influenced the Cyberpunk genre as a whole. This naturally leads to a broader discussion about the Cyberpunk genre, where Joe and his co-host delve into various forms of media that embody this aesthetic and thematic style, including influential books, iconic movies, and immersive video games that have shaped the landscape of this genre over the years.As the conversation unfolds, Joe turns his attention to Cody, inquiring about his progress in his fourth attempt to navigate the sprawling narrative of Cyberpunk 2077. Cody reflects on his experiences with the game, discussing the challenges he has faced, the choices he has made, and how the game's rich storytelling and complex characters have drawn him back in, despite previous hurdles. They contemplate the game's open-world design, its intricate quests, and the moral dilemmas that players encounter, which are hallmarks of the Cyberpunk genre.Following this engaging discussion, Joe shares his thoughts on the new Ghost in the Shell anime series available on Prime Video. He expresses his enthusiasm for the animation style and storytelling, comparing it to the original films and the impact that Ghost in the Shell has had on both the Cyberpunk genre and the anime industry as a whole. Joe discusses the themes of identity, consciousness, and technology that the series explores, and how these elements resonate with contemporary issues in our digital age.As the episode progresses, there is a brief yet poignant discussion about the late, great Sam Neill, who has recently been announced as part of the cast for the upcoming live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda. Joe and Cody reminisce about Neill's illustrious career and his contributions to the film industry, reflecting on his memorable performances and the impact he has had on audiences worldwide. They ponder what his involvement in such a beloved franchise might mean for the project and how his unique acting style could bring depth to the characters in this iconic video game adaptation.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

Are you looking for a hobby after graduation? Or is it looking for you? We're continuing our Side Quest series this week as we explore how we spend our free time after graduation. Thus far, we've found that our free time can be easily spent in ways that are joyful, sustainable, and surprisingly significant. And hobbies are no different.InterVarsity Alumna, Campus Minister, and professional ultimate frisbee player, Melissa LaFrance, joins this week to share how she didn't have time to go searching for a hobby after graduation because it found her first. And it turned out to be a life giving side quest that provided both friendships and amazing opportunities to share Jesus with people she would never otherwise have access to.RELATED EPISODESThe Struggle for Friendship: Moving from Isolation to Connection (E168) - Apple, Spotify, YouTubeEvangelism When...

We're closing out our Side Quest Review for House of the Dragon Season 3, and a few final phrases from the finale really stuck with our hosts: “He Has Risen,” “I'm Alive,” and “You Are Ugly.” All coming from the divided House Targaryen. We got a bit of everything in this finale: a battle, betrayal, and a full-on crash out. Was Ormond's strategy justified? Did this season do enough to build up Ulf's finale decision and make it less shocking for the audience? And is Aegon now a bigger threat than ever?We get into all of it as we say goodbye to the dragons for the next two years.

An OpenAI-powered agent penetrated Hugging Face during cyber testing - even though it was never tasked with attacking Hugging Face. It did it as a side quest.Thomas Wolf, co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Hugging Face, joins Matt Turck to unpack what actually happened, why closed AI models refused to help during the live incident, how an open-source model helped the team fight back, and why the old equation of “closed equals safe, open equals dangerous” no longer holds. They also discuss model deception and social engineering, the limits of sandboxes and guardrails, the state of open-source AI in 2026, AI sovereignty, the economics of open models, recursive self-improvement, and whether the frontier should deliberately slow down.(00:00) An AI Agent Hacked Hugging Face(00:30) Introduction(01:00) 17,000 Attacker Events—and a Strange Target(04:28) The Attack Was a “Side Quest”(06:13) AI Training Runs Left Notes for Each Other(07:09) Closed AI Refused to Help(09:47) Fighting Back With an Open-Source Model(13:15) Open vs. Closed Is the Wrong Safety Debate(15:46) AI Agents Start Social-Engineering Humans(22:24) The Three Walls: Sandboxes, Guardrails, Alignment(24:34) “Neuralese”: Can Humans Still Read AI Reasoning?(25:28) Why Monitoring AI Agents Gets So Hard(28:10) Reward Hacking and the “Paperclip Problem”(32:02) The State of Open-Source AI in 2026(33:47) Router Models and the Enterprise Shift to Open(37:01) The Real Economics of Open Models(39:41) Can Chinese AI Models Be Trusted?(41:37) AI Sovereignty: Who Controls the Switch?(43:16) Why Western Open-Source AI Matters(48:16) Is AI Heading Toward an Oligopoly?(49:41) The Race Toward Recursive Self-Improvement(51:54) Why Thomas Signed the AI Slowdown Letter(55:14) AI Slowdown—or Regulatory Capture?

What if the side quest actually turned out to be the main quest?InterVarsity Alum, Michael Lopez, say that's exactly the situation when it comes to the way we invest. We're continuing our “Side Quest” series this week as we explore how to thoughtfully spend our free time in life after graduation. Admittedly, investing might not sound like a typical “free time” activity. Automatic transfers, compounding interest, and future withdrawals all sound very passive. It's stuff that happens in the background on autopilot, not something we actively engage with.That's where Michael would politely, but firmly, disagree. Michael is an investment advisor, certified financial planner, and an InterVarsity alumnus from Harvard. Michael is joining us today to share why the time, attention, and resources we devote to the “side quest” of investment has an impact that reaches all the way into eternity.Sounds like some main quest material!RELATED EPISODEUnderstanding Your Financial Narrative (E142) - Apple, SpotifySTAY IN TOUCHSocials: @afterivpodVisit our Website ★ Support this podcast ★

In gaming, a side quest is a mission outside the main narrative or goal that players can take for fun. In life, it functions similarly. It's a hobby or activity that doesn't have any purpose other than bringing more whimsy, sparkle and exploration into your life. In this episode of Life Kit, host Marielle Segarra and Brittany Luse of NPR's It's Been a Minute talk to experts about how to find a side quest that builds your world's lore and brings you back to life.Follow us on Instagram: @nprlifekitSign up for our newsletter here.Have an episode idea or feedback you want to share?

Drop your thoughts and theories in the comments!

Feeling stuck? In a rut? Family or work driving you up a wall? Maybe it's time to take a side quest.Much like the optional, lore-building journeys in video games that enrich the main mission, real-life side quests bring a sense of whimsy to your daily routine. In real life, that could look like learning to sew, picking up kickball, or anything else that adds a little whimsy into your routine. To rediscover the childlike joy of taking a side quest, Brittany is joined by Marielle Segarra, host of NPR's Life Kit; Dr. Kyra Gaunt, associate professor of ethnomusicology at the University at Albany; and Sahara Moné, curator and owner of community activities collective Let's Play NYC.Want more on improving your quality of life?

Our heroes find themselves trapped in a deadly Jigsaw-inspired game during Episode 7, "The Ex Games." Mxy and Glitzy force them into a challenge they never wanted to play, but one that serves as a powerful reminder of just how important Clark Kent truly is. Even with Superman gone, Clark's impact is felt more than ever. Our hosts break down the episode, reveal the Top 4 heroes they'd want on their team, and Jazz shares her frustrations over yet another Superman cliffhanger. With only a few episodes remaining, we're still not sure where this season is headed. Where do you think our heroes will end up next? Share your theories in the comments!

Does your life ever feel like a jar of dirty water?A brand new series starts today called, “Side Quests”. We'll be discussing healthy non-work rhythms after graduation that are filled with purpose, starting with rest and retreat. InterVarsity alumnus Jonny Gose shares about his own journey into rest and retreat after graduation (including how a jar of dirty water transformed the way he thinks about slowing down with Jesus). And he'll walk us through some practical ways to build a rhythm of rest that not only fits this season of life after graduation, but also becomes a rhythm you never want to miss.RELATED EPISODEA Foundation for Healthy Rhythms of Rest (E122) - Apple, SpotifyOTHER RESOURCESGrab your alumni retreat box today!STAY IN TOUCHSocials: @afterivpodVisit our Website ★ Support this podcast ★
