My name is Al. (0:00:39) Micah: I’m waiting, I’m waiting for you. (0:00:41) Kevin: Oh, I was waiting for you, too. I’m Micah. (0:00:44) Al: And we are here today to confuse you a lot. (0:00:46) Micah: And I’m Kev. (0:00:48) Kevin: There we go. (0:00:52) Al: It says, “We’re to talk about cottage core games.” (0:00:52) Kevin: Well, I mean, that goes without saying. (0:00:56) Al: Whoo! (0:00:57) Kevin: Whoo-hoo! (0:00:57) Al: Just, just in case people don’t know who they are, the names were the wrong way around there. (0:01:03) Al: So you know, they’re good luck. (0:01:06) Al: This is the fun episode of the year where I get two people on and we argue about which (0:01:14) Al: is the best game. (0:01:16) Al: And most of the time we come to a conclusion where we’re all accepting that that is our combined game of the year. (0:01:22) Kevin: Not this year. I refuse already. (0:01:26) Al: We will see where this year goes. (0:01:29) Al: But oh boy, oh boy, do I have some opinions. (0:01:34) Al: We’ll get to that when we get to that. (0:01:37) Al: Obviously transcripts are available for the episode and the show in general in the show notes and on the website. (0:01:44) Al: The game of the year stuff, Micah, what have you been up to? (0:01:46) Micah: I have been playing Dragon Quest Monsters 3 and I have also been playing Starfield quite a bit. (0:01:48) Al: Shock, shock harder. (0:01:52) Kevin: Good stuff. How many slimes are on your teeth? (0:01:59) Al: Interesting. What do you think? (0:02:01) Micah: I… (0:02:03) Micah: Okay. (0:02:04) Kevin: This, this is the response I hear every time I ask about it. (0:02:08) Micah: I very much understand two things. (0:02:14) Micah: I am a fan. (0:02:17) Micah: I am a fan of Bethesda game design and have been for many years. (0:02:22) Micah: So there is a level of comfort that comes with it. (0:02:27) Micah: I also understand that it is kind of dated game design. (0:02:33) Micah: And it all sort of feels the same as far as Bethesda goes. (0:02:40) Micah: But because I like that, I appreciate it. (0:02:44) Kevin: Yeah, no, that makes sense. I’m a Tetris fan, and Tetris hasn’t changed once in the 40 years it’s been out. (0:02:52) Al: That’s not true! That’s not true, Kevin. (0:02:54) Kevin: Yeah, I know that’s not true. (0:02:56) Al: We know, you know, you know that Tetris has changed. (0:02:58) Al: It has improved. It has moved with the times. (0:02:59) Kevin: Yeah, it is. (0:03:01) Micah: Tetris Effect is one of the greatest Tetris games of all time. Tetris 99. I would say, (0:03:04) Al: Exactly. Exactly. (0:03:06) Micah: I would actually argue that Tetris has done more changing than most franchises do. It’s kind of impressive. I don’t know, it’s kids. It can be cozy, right? Tetris can be a cozy (0:03:14) Kevin: You’re right, especially one we’re a fan of in particular. (0:03:19) Al: You don’t come, we don’t come for Tetris here, Kevin. (0:03:22) Kevin: I mean, we could. (0:03:28) Kevin: We could argue which one’s the best shaped piece. (0:03:31) Al: They also have their scam game that Cody’s playing. (0:03:31) Micah: Their scam game? No. (0:03:34) Kevin: Ah, well. (0:03:35) Al: Oh, have you not heard this, Micah? She’s playing a game that, like, you get points and then apparently once you hit a million or two million points you can win a free cruise, (0:03:45) Al: and I’m convinced it’s a scam. I’m waiting for the day that she gets to the right number of points and then, like, we never hear from her again because she’s, like, shipped off to have our organs harvested or something. (0:03:45) Micah: What? That does sound kinda scary. (0:03:49) Kevin: It does. (0:03:57) Micah: Dear God, all because of Tetris. (0:04:03) Kevin: Well, at least she had fun getting there. (0:04:05) Al: Anyway, so Starfield. (0:04:06) Kevin: That sounds like the game of the year to me. (0:04:10) Al: So what you’re saying is, if you like Starfield, you’ll like Starfield. (0:04:13) Al: That’s what you’re saying. (0:04:14) Micah: Yeah, if you like Bethesda games, Bethesda RPGs, (0:04:20) Micah: then you’ll probably like Starfield. (0:04:22) Micah: I think that there’s a lot of really neat things that they do with the. (0:04:27) Micah: Like space travel portions of it, there’s there’s a lot of really cool the like ship combat, space combat and stuff like that is very, very interesting. (0:04:37) Micah: It’s fun and the more that you kind of get comfortable with the how things function in the world, the you know, the more comfy of a game it is to. (0:04:49) Kevin: Okay, serious question. Have you played No Man’s Sky? (0:04:52) Micah: I have. (0:04:53) Kevin: to that (0:04:55) Micah: It is like if no man’s sky. (0:04:57) Micah: I had way more polished and was much more fleshed out and had much more like story elements to it. (0:05:09) Micah: I think that like primarily my enjoyment of Bethesda games comes from their writing. (0:05:17) Micah: And because there are just as an example, there’s a quest that I stumbled on by… (0:05:27) Micah: killing a space pirate and when I looked in his inventory there was a note and when I read the note that it unlocked this huge side quest that was like hours long. (0:05:40) Micah: Which is like I could have very easily missed that. (0:05:44) Micah: And I love that there’s such depth to like how stories play, like side stories even play out in Bethesda games like that. (0:05:57) Micah: So many times in Elder Scrolls games and things, you know, I’ll just stumble onto a cave and there’s a really deep story that’s written into this group that moved into this cave or whatever and it’s something that you could very easily miss. (0:06:16) Micah: It really makes me appreciate how much effort they put into writing things that people could never play in their, you know… (0:06:27) Micah: They’ll play through the game but there’s plenty of that in Starfield. (0:06:36) Al: Yeah, I think that’s fair. I’ve have enjoyed seeing a lot of the stuff online about all the kind of like side stuff, which has been for me, probably more fun than actually playing the game would be. So like, I totally get if you enjoy the game, then it makes it so much more fun, right? Because you’re finding all these things and just kind of stumble across this. But yeah, for me, it’s like, yeah, I enjoy watching someone post about it online or post a video or something like that. I think I know the side story you’re talking about, because that’s that’s the one that most people tend to go to. (0:06:42) Micah: Mm hmm. Yeah. (0:06:48) Kevin: Yeah. (0:07:12) Micah: Yeah, it’s a pretty important one because it, especially early on it, it gives you access to things that you would not have otherwise, that are pretty important. (0:07:22) Al: Yeah, you just confirmed it’s the one I’m thinking of. (0:07:28) Al: OK, well, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. That’s the important thing. That’s what we play games for. (0:07:30) Kevin: Yeah, well, we, we actually could do greenhouse. (0:07:32) Micah: And you know, I could talk about Dragon Quest monsters endlessly, but I’ll save everybody’s. (0:07:37) Micah: I’ll save everyone’s ears for… (0:07:40) Kevin: I didn’t all gladly listen to Dragon Quest talk for. (0:07:42) Al: Let’s discuss that later. (0:07:44) Micah: Yeah, I think that’s probably what I’m gonna be hanging on to that for is the the later (0:07:52) Al: Awesome. Kevin, what have you been up to? (0:07:55) Kevin: So it’s been a hot mince I’ve been on I think and the biggest life update for people who haven’t heard I have kittens now (0:08:05) Micah: kittens? No. When you okay, when you say kittens, obviously plural, how many are we talking here? (0:08:06) Kevin: Have I not showing you the mic oh I will text you a picture right now (0:08:11) Kevin: Yes (0:08:15) Kevin: We’re talking too so We started off with one (0:08:20) Kevin: So we’re looking for a new place to move into and at one of the places we’ve kittens they were giving (0:08:25) Kevin: away and so we took one home and then after some discussions we said you know what I bet this kitten could use a companion so we went back and got one got one of her brothers and so we now went from no kittens to two kittens pretty much out of the blue their names are teddy and daisy (0:08:52) Kevin: They are about seven, eight weeks. (0:08:55) Kevin: They are about eight weeks old. (0:08:57) Kevin: This is my first time owning cats. I’ve had a dog before, but never cats. (0:09:02) Kevin: It’s been enjoyable there. (0:09:04) Kevin: Fun, energetic, Daisy in particular is a little gremlin who loves to run around. (0:09:08) Kevin: Teddy, the brother, he’s a lot more chill. (0:09:11) Kevin: He is, yeah, I’m loving them so far. I love animals, right? (0:09:15) Kevin: And they were so little when we got them. (0:09:17) Kevin: They were only like four weeks old when we got them. (0:09:20) Kevin: So they were really little. They were like tripled in size. (0:09:23) Kevin: I took them to the vet for the first time. (0:09:25) Kevin: Yesterday, and aren’t they precious I I will have to find of us an alpix so he can post it with the show (0:09:26) Micah: Oh my god. (0:09:33) Micah: Who who’s the which one is the white and gray one? (0:09:37) Kevin: That’s Daisy (0:09:38) Micah: That’s Daisy. (0:09:39) Kevin: Mm-hmm and then (0:09:40) Micah: Daisy looks very much like my brother’s cat, zero, who is 18 years old. (0:09:43) Kevin: Oh really, huh Wow Wow, that’s strong (0:09:48) Micah: But the like identical like pattern and facial structure and. (0:09:51) Kevin: Yeah, yeah, Teddy’s really cute. He’s got a tuxedo (0:09:55) Kevin: pattern. He’s got gray fur, but like little white paws and, um, and Daisy’s black or black gray spots. Yeah, they’re adorable. Um, so yeah, they can be a handful at times as I’m sure cat owners know they can get all over the place. (0:10:10) Kevin: But, um, but I’ve been enjoying. Um, so, uh, yeah, that’s the big thing really. But, uh, (0:10:16) Kevin: other than that, probably the biggest things I’ve been playing lately. Um, I’ve really been getting through Tears of the Kingdom finally. I’ve pretty much (0:10:25) Kevin: at the finish line I’ve done all the big quests I’m just kind of going around hitting up all the shrines and filling out the map and so on and so forth but I could go take on Ganon anytime. That game is phenomenal it’s great I mean I don’t have to go in-depth about it I’m sure everyone knows how good it is right right but yeah very good game I yeah not much I probably could add and then the The other one is a… (0:10:42) Al: Speaking of games that have secrets. (0:10:55) Kevin: Street Fighter 6 (0:10:58) Kevin: So I am a fighting game fan. I am bad at them, but I love them (0:11:03) Micah: Hey, me too. (0:11:04) Kevin: I picked it up. Yeah, yeah, you got right. I’ve only played two weeks (0:11:07) Micah: On both fronts. (0:11:10) Kevin: Have you picked up Street Fighter 6? (0:11:11) Micah: I have not. (0:11:12) Kevin: Micah, okay (0:11:12) Micah: I have some friends that I have watched play. (0:11:14) Kevin: Okay (0:11:18) Micah: And I have some friends that are extremely good at Street Fighter. (0:11:23) Kevin: Yeah, yeah good. Oh man, hats off to them. (0:11:24) Micah: So I’ve seen some, you know, stuff that I’ve seen gameplay that I don’t fully understand because it’s too… (0:11:33) Micah: high level for my small brain to comprehend, but… (0:11:40) Kevin: That’s fine, I’m playing it and it happens to me. (0:11:45) Kevin: So yeah, the two big things, I mean Street Fighter, right? (0:11:47) Kevin: It’s the iconic series, (0:11:48) Kevin: so I’m sure people know what it’s all about, it’s fighting. (0:11:51) Kevin: But the two big things that it brings, (0:11:54) Kevin: the first is called modern controls. (0:11:57) Kevin: They have a new control scheme (0:12:02) Kevin: that simplifies basically playing the game. (0:12:05) Kevin: So traditionally you’d have to do a motion on your control stick and a button and all sorts of crazy combinations to get moves out. (0:12:15) Kevin: But they simplified it, (0:12:16) Kevin: where you can get moves out with just the press of a button. (0:12:20) Kevin: It’s very beginner friendly. (0:12:23) Kevin: Because of the convenience of that, (0:12:25) Kevin: they balanced it by reducing the strength of the moves and things like that. (0:12:32) Kevin: I think it’s great. (0:12:33) Kevin: I don’t play it much myself, I like the classic stuff, (0:12:36) Kevin: but it’s fun to see people use it and be able to play, (0:12:41) Kevin: get in without having to worry about not being able to do the moves. (0:12:44) Kevin: I say that as someone who is not always able to do the moves. (0:12:50) Kevin: And the second big thing that they have is called world tour mode. (0:12:53) Kevin: Have you guys heard of this at all? (0:12:56) Kevin: Yeah, oh man. (0:12:58) Kevin: So World Tour Mode is their single player campaign. (0:13:02) Kevin: The real kicker is that it’s a create a character mode. (0:13:08) Kevin: So you create your own fighter, but they’re sliders to your physical attributes. (0:13:16) Kevin: So you can be as tall, skinny, short, whatever you want. (0:13:19) Kevin: You can make monstrosity looking characters and it will affect your gameplay. (0:13:24) Kevin: If you have long arms, you will be able to punch farther or whatever. (0:13:29) Kevin: It’s pretty fun making your own character. (0:13:32) Kevin: I love it. You can hang out with the cast, which are filled with fun dumb moments. (0:13:46) Kevin: You can text all the street fighters. It’s really funny. (0:13:48) Micah: I am a big fan of a really ridiculous character. (0:13:48) Kevin: It’s so good. It’s probably the most ridiculous one. Just today I saw somebody look like a spaghetti with arms. (0:14:02) Kevin: It’s so good. There’s an online mode where you can bring your creative characters. You can have your freak matches. It’s great. (0:14:10) Kevin: Everything about that game is fantastic. The presentation, the music, the online play works great. I rarely have any bad connections for matches. (0:14:22) Kevin: I’m the character I picked up. Her name is Manon. She is a French supermodel. (0:14:32) Kevin: She is also a judo wrestler. She throws all of that in her move. She does struts, she does pirouettes, and she’ll grow you around. (0:14:40) Kevin: She’s very fun to play. That’s what I’ve been up to. (0:14:44) Kevin: Alright, Senor Al, what about you? (0:14:48) Al: Not a huge amount. It’s been a weird week, but I’ve been playing a bit of a Highland song. So for Micah, probably, who isn’t aware, it’s a platforming game based in the Scottish Highlands, and part of it is rhythm based. And it’s absolutely gorgeous. It has great music. The story is really good, and I don’t play games with the sound on, but I… (0:15:18) Al: can’t play this game with the sound off. Like, it’s just even outside of the rhythm, but it’s just so good. Yeah. Like, a Highland song. And it’s fantastic. So, okay, yeah, (0:15:30) Kevin: Okay, what are the rhythm portions like, because I know it was the Scottish game, but I don’t know what it’s like. (0:15:36) Al: okay. That’s a fair question. That’s a fair question. So, to preamble to that, the idea is that you’ve got all these mountains, and you’re climbing over them, and you’re trying (0:15:48) Al: to get to specific points. And there are places in the game where, as you are walking, (0:15:54) Al: it will tell you to press B to run. And then as you’re running across a terrain, there are things in the way, and the rhythm bit is you have to press it in time to the music to keep going and jump over the rhythm. (0:16:08) Kevin: Okay, that’s fascinating. Huh. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a rhythm platformer in the (0:16:19) Micah: This is beautiful. (0:16:20) Al: Right. Right. And the best thing is, so when you’re standing on, when you’re standing on a hill in the game and you can see all of the hills around you, all of those hills are hills you can go to in the game. (0:16:32) Kevin: Oh wow, that’s nice. (0:16:34) Micah: Wow. Yeah, this is a really pretty game. I’ve never heard of this. (0:16:38) Al: Yeah, it’s really I’m loving it. It’s great. Yeah, yeah, I came out a couple weeks ago. (0:16:39) Micah: Is it new? (0:16:44) Al: But it’s fantastic. And all the Scottish accents are legitimate. So no terrible Shrek voices. (0:16:50) Kevin: But, I mean, come on, don’t you want at least one Shrek in there? (0:16:52) Al: No, no, no. Definitely not. Never, never, never. Shrek is fine in Shrek. Not outside. (0:16:56) Micah: No, that was a very immediate no. (0:17:00) Micah: No, no, no, no, no, no. (0:17:00) Kevin: Ah, fair enough. (0:17:06) Al: We have enough fake Scottish. (0:17:08) Al: Voices in the world, there are very few things where we actually get proper Scottish voices. (0:17:13) Al: So it’s nice to actually hear some. (0:17:14) Kevin: Fair enough. (0:17:15) Kevin: Is David Tennant in it? (0:17:17) Al: I don’t think so, no. (0:17:18) Kevin: the- I’m sorry. That’s a missed (0:17:21) Al: His voice, there was something, I can’t remember what it was I was watching the other day and I was like, “Oh, that’s David Tennant.” Like I always, anytime I hear him doing his normal voice, (0:17:29) Al: it’s like such a distinctive voice for me that I’m like, “Oh.” It’s like, (0:17:33) Al: Every so often, somebody learns that David Tennant is Scrooge McDuck. (0:17:38) Al: And they’re like, “What? How’s David Tennant?” I’m like, “How could you not tell? His voice is just so distinctly his voice.” (0:17:39) Kevin: Yeah, yeah. (0:17:40) Kevin: - That’s… (0:17:47) Kevin: I, I didn’t know, I mean, I, I watched, I’m a big fan of the reboot of DuckTales, but I didn’t know it was David Tennant till a little bit in. (0:17:48) Al: Maybe that’s a Scottish thing, I don’t know. (0:17:57) Kevin: Um, and I didn’t realize he was Scottish. (0:17:59) Kevin: That’s, it’s really funny. (0:18:00) Al: Yeah, he’s not putting on a voice. He’s slightly emphasizing it, but that’s basically just his voice. (0:18:04) Kevin: Yeah, sure. (0:18:06) Al: Yeah, don’t do that again, Kevin. (0:18:06) Kevin: I like how he says “Gad-age” in the first episode. (0:18:09) Kevin: I always remember that one. (0:18:13) Kevin: That’s how he says it. (0:18:17) Al: So yeah, I’ve mostly been playing that and also been playing Pokemon because of the Flubbebe outbreaks, as I said, in the show notes. (0:18:27) Micah: Oh, that’s right (0:18:30) Al: baby baby. (0:18:31) Micah: Forgot that was going on. I forget it’s uh, well baby now and then (0:18:39) Kevin: Milsory in the (0:18:42) Al: So it’s current Flababy in Poldea. It is… no, it is not. It is Litwick in Kitakami. (0:18:48) Kevin: 3 in Kitikami. (0:18:52) Micah: Mmm. Yeah, because milsry is not in the game. (0:18:53) Al: Milcery isn’t in the game yet. Milcery will be in the Blueberry Academy when it comes out. So that’s why it’s not Milcery yet. It’s because it’s in the new region in the DLC. I think it’s just called the Blueberry Academy. Yeah. (0:19:01) Kevin: I haven’t gotten the DLC yet. (0:19:05) Micah: So just the new region, do we know what the new region is called? (0:19:07) Micah: Other than just, it’s the Blueberry Academy, is it just Blueberry Academy? (0:19:10) Kevin: That’s it. (0:19:11) Kevin: Yeah, it’s like an- it’s a- yeah, it’s part of- it’s Unovan territory, I guess, I know, (0:19:16) Kevin: but it’s like an artificial island sort of thing. (0:19:20) Al: Yeah, they call it like the. (0:19:21) Kevin: Terrarium. (0:19:24) Kevin: Yeah. (0:19:26) Micah: means I almost fear honest I mean it’s the like vibe that I got from it when I yeah we’ll see it’s always we’ll see (0:19:26) Kevin: Yeah. (0:19:28) Al: Yeah, it is pretty much, hopefully less evil, but we’ll see. (0:19:29) Kevin: now. (0:19:31) Kevin: Yeah, [LAUGH] I might get the DLC finally, the trit look. (0:19:40) Al: Oh, they are calling it the ceranium. (0:19:42) Al: They are calling it. (0:19:44) Micah: I was just recently finishing up my Pokedex, my like living decks in Violet in preparation for the DLC, but (0:19:57) Micah: there’s a lot of just figuring out how to who I knew who had the other Sinnoh starters, because you only get the like one egg. (0:20:11) Micah: And it’s dependent on, I guess, dependent on what starter you picked for. (0:20:15) Micah: For scarlet or violet. (0:20:16) Al: I think it was, or maybe it was random, I can’t- (0:20:20) Micah: I feel like it was, yeah, it seemed like from trying to track down where I would find a Piplup, it was, it was through like deduction power, the power of deduction (0:20:34) Micah: through who had what starter from the, from Paldea. (0:20:38) Micah: So I don’t know if that’s actually the case or not, but that’s, that’s how I managed to figure out who had. (0:20:44) Al: Yeah, I could probably find out if I cared enough. (0:20:52) Al: I mean, I still like, I don’t, I’m still enjoying it and I’m really looking forward to the new DLC, but Kevin, you don’t need to play it. (0:21:00) Al: You can just not. (0:21:02) Micah: It’s true. It’s true. I will say that I felt. (0:21:02) Kevin: Look, I’m– (0:21:09) Micah: I think we talked about this the last time I was on, actually. (0:21:10) Al: We did. (0:21:12) Al: We had a whole greenhouse episode about it. (0:21:14) Micah: I finally finished the DLC, the first DLC, because that was the right. (0:21:18) Al: Oh, yes. (0:21:19) Al: Yes. (0:21:19) Al: Cause you hadn’t finished it when we did the greenhouse. (0:21:21) Micah: And that is like rare for me, because I I go (0:21:25) Micah: pretty hard into Pokemon stuff when it launches for the first time. (0:21:28) Micah: So to not do that is kind of a new. (0:21:32) Micah: New and weird thing for me, but I finally finished it and I did enjoy it, but I did feel that it was a very, I don’t know, I just, I’ve, I’m still feeling like I’ve kind of become disillusioned with modern Pokemon to some degree, but. (0:21:49) Kevin: I mean and okay like to not I’m you know, I (0:21:54) Kevin: Notoriously nag on the game, but to pull the veil down a little to be you the more genuine here. I (0:22:00) Kevin: Do think the trailer for the upcoming one part looks good. I’m a bit excited for what I see (0:22:07) Kevin: the only part that (0:22:08) Al: Careful. (0:22:10) Kevin: Yeah, I know the only part that really irritates me is the flying thing how it’s locked behind the DLC because (0:22:18) Al: Yeah, I agree (0:22:19) Kevin: It’s just with knowing how the development cycle works and the timing of everything. It feels very intentional. They put bad flying (0:22:28) Al: Well, here’s the thing, I don’t care if it’s like, “Oh, we couldn’t get it done in time for release,” right? (0:22:34) Al: You still don’t have to lock it behind the DLC. (0:22:34) Kevin: Right. Exactly. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Okay. But. (0:22:36) Al: They have updates. (0:22:37) Al: Every game has updates when there’s DLCs. (0:22:40) Al: So you absolutely don’t need to. (0:22:41) Al: It’s absolutely a very specific choice to lock that quality of life feature behind a purchase and that is bad and we should absolutely call that out. (0:22:49) Al: It’s not going to stop me buying the game though. (0:22:52) Micah: Yeah, I’m kind of in the same position. (0:22:56) Micah: I think there’s a lot of stuff that could just generally as far as the development cycle goes could have been changed for the better. (0:23:10) Micah: I had mentioned a little bit the like one time I’ve been on Twitter in the last like month after they talked about the they released. (0:23:22) Micah: It’s the new trailer this last week, I think. (0:23:24) Al: Yeah. (0:23:25) Micah: And they showed off the the like Pokemon control mode. (0:23:30) Micah: I forgot what they call it, but you can control the sync mode where you can control the Pokemon and run around as the Pokemon. (0:23:32) Al: Oh, yes, yeah, synchronize. Yeah. (0:23:32) Kevin: The sync mode thing. (0:23:40) Micah: And it seemingly has not much of a like use case other than you can battle Pokemon, but you just run around as a Pokemon. (0:23:50) Micah: And that to me, it. (0:23:52) Micah: Immediately, like I’d think back to when the games first came out and how much like disgruntledness there was with certain elements of the design that the games design, like how you couldn’t go into any of the houses. (0:24:09) Micah: But then they, you know, when they clipped out of bounds, then they found that there were like half designed internal locations like you could have gone into. (0:24:20) Micah: but it was very clear that they ran. (0:24:22) Micah: Out of time in the development cycle, just couldn’t, uh, so there are things like that where like I, it makes me feel like sync mode. (0:24:29) Micah: It was something that they just ran out of time on. (0:24:32) Al: So that’s possible, but I also think it could be along the lines of, like, let’s go Pikachu and Eevee to Legends, where we saw a clear direction they were moving. (0:24:43) Al: And it’s not necessarily, like, I don’t think anyone would say that the catching in Let’s Go was the way it was because they didn’t have enough time to do what they ended up doing in Legends, but it was more like a kind of moving in that kind of direction. (0:24:57) Al: And we see this with a lot of things in Pokémon where they do that, where it’s like, it’s It’s just a, it’s a. (0:25:02) Al: You’re prerequisite and the kind of like the game, it’s not like here’s a game, let’s build a game. Here’s another game. Let’s build another game, right? Like they’re constantly doing all these different things in these different games and having these different ideas. And that’s true. (0:25:04) Kevin: Yeah, baby steps. (0:25:16) Kevin: These I don’t think these are mutually exclusive either like (0:25:16) Micah: I think that I think that that I agree with that that makes sense. (0:25:22) Micah: But I do feel like there is a level of like (0:25:26) Micah: half baked development process for some of these things. (0:25:30) Micah: And I I am willing to, you know, give (0:25:30) Kevin: Oh, oh, they’re deaf at least. (0:25:34) Micah: well, for like like you said, for let’s go. (0:25:37) Micah: I think the the catch feature for let’s go was meant to more mimic Pokemon. (0:25:41) Micah: Go like it was very clearly there, like (0:25:46) Micah: the motion point between the main games and Pokemon go so that. (0:25:51) Micah: You know, catching style was intended to feel like I mean, it does feel like especially the motion control portion feels like Pokemon go. (0:25:52) Al: I mean, kind of, kind of, but I also like, with then we got only a few years later, legends, (0:26:05) Al: like it feels like it was what they kind of wanted to move towards and they were trying different things and this is what they ended up with. I don’t think it was just like, oh, (0:26:15) Al: let’s just make Pokemon go in a main series game. Like, I think it was, you know, they (0:26:22) Al: had a game which was legends where you were actually running around and literally just throwing Pokeballs at Pokemon, right? But, look, it’s not, yeah, I mean, it does show a flaw in how they developed their games and that these were almost certainly developed in parallel and therefore you can’t know what’s going to be popular and what’s going to end up working really well before you do it the next one. Yeah, I don’t disagree with you. (0:26:30) Kevin: And then they said, “Let’s go backwards at the next game.” (0:26:52) Al: I want that again. But anyway, we don’t need to keep talking about Pokemon. Let’s move on, shall we? This happens every couple of months we end up on another Scarlet and Violet delve. It did, it did. It did, but, you know, I need to save some of my Pokemon talk for a different podcast. Anyway, it’s, wow. Wow. (0:27:03) Kevin: But the trailer just came out. It was… it was gonna- (0:27:16) Kevin: We’re doing a worst games of the year pocket. (0:27:22) Al: Anyway, that’s what we’ve been up to. And I’m glad that we got a good half an hour out of that because there is no news because this is recorded out of time. Because I don’t know about you guys, but I did not want to record this on, you know, Hogman A. So we’re recording it a few weeks early. (0:27:46) Kevin: Where’s your dedication out? (0:27:49) Micah: What do you have things to do geez [laughs] (0:27:52) Al: So yes, yes, I do. So we are here to discuss our favourite games of the year and hopefully come to a conclusion on what the podcast’s game of the year is. So begins the part of the podcast where I read a bunch of words. So I am going to go down all of the games that were released this year. And at what point does this become ridiculous? I don’t know is this the most (0:28:22) Al: games we’ve had released in a year since we started the podcast? (0:28:24) Al: Yes, it absolutely is. (0:28:24) Kevin: Probably. (0:28:26) Al: Absolutely insane. (0:28:27) Al: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, nine. (0:28:29) Kevin: More than three, I’ll tell you that. (0:28:31) Kevin: I didn’t know Homestead Arcana- (0:28:32) Al: So 30, 30, 30 games, (0:28:36) Al: 31, 30, 35 games, and then one, two, three, four, five, six, seven released (0:28:42) Al: into Early Access. So was that 42, 42 games in this list? (0:28:47) Al: So this is the first list is the list of (0:28:50) Al: that were released. (0:28:52) Al: Not into early access and they previously weren’t in early access. (0:28:56) Al: This is brand new games this year. (0:28:58) Al: Brand new games not early access. (0:29:00) Al: I don’t know why I overcomplicated this, but here this is what we’re doing. (0:29:04) Al: So this is Above Snakes, Before the Green Moon, Everdream Valley, Fae Farm, Farming Simulator 23, Flutter Away, Garden Buddies, Garden Inn, Harvest Moon, The Winds of Anthos, Homestead Arcana, Enchanted, Loddle Knot, (0:29:20) Al: Maneko’s Night Market. (0:29:22) Al: And this is me just double-taking. (0:29:48) Micah: Now if you thought that was it. (0:29:52) Kevin: I’m gonna feel bad when one of the real games of the year is in here and the ones that I didn’t play. (0:29:52) Al: Well, this is part of the problem. (0:30:00) Al: So next we have five games that were released in 1.0 this year and early access a previous year. (0:30:07) Al: OK, so they were already out, but they came to their 1.0. (0:30:11) Al: They left early access this year. (0:30:13) Al: That’s a better way of describing it. (0:30:14) Al: These games left early access this year. (0:30:16) Al: And we have Icone Island, Mindrop, Sunhaven, Coral– (0:30:22) Al: Island, and Disney Dreamlight Valley. (0:30:24) Al: And then we have the list of seven games that came into early access this year. (0:30:28) Al: And that is Cornucopia, Fabledom, Moonlight in Garland, One Lonely Outpost, (0:30:35) Al: Research Story, Song of the Prairie, and Snacko. (0:30:39) Al: Hey, Micah, is this the first time you’re learning that Snacko’s in early access? (0:30:42) Al: Or did you know that already? (0:30:43) Micah: Uh, no, yesterday when I opened Notion was the first time I learned this neck wasn’t really (0:30:50) Al: Well, surprise! (0:30:52) Al: in early access now. (0:30:55) Micah: I have I’ve played the betas or the alphas, sorry. (0:31:01) Micah: And I have decided that I don’t want to do much more with the game until it (0:31:10) Micah: they get a full release because I love it. (0:31:13) Micah: love it so far and I don’t want to overdo it. (0:31:16) Kevin: Yep, don’t burn yourself out on it. I know somebody who was a big fan of Hades, but they only played in the Early Access and they burned themselves out. (0:31:23) Micah: I don’t think I could burn myself out on it really as much as it’s just that like, I don’t want to miss out like because I backed it. And I want to, I don’t know, experience the full experience I’ve experienced so much of it at this point. (0:31:38) Al: I think that’s fair. I got to the same point with Coral Island last year where I was like, (0:31:43) Al: “And now I’m going to put it down into 1.0.” But I mean, that was like 40 hours or 50 hours or something like that. It was more than I play a lot of games, you know? And I didn’t feel like playing that much ruined the experience for me when I came to the final version, because I’ve put in more than… I’m up to 100 hours now in that game. So I think it depends on the game. (0:31:55) Micah: Mm-hmm. (0:32:07) Al: Uhh. (0:32:07) Al: Ah. (0:32:08) Al: But that is a fair point. (0:32:11) Al: I have not decided what I’m going to do with Snacko. (0:32:14) Al: I’ve not decided yet. (0:32:16) Kevin: Why did nobody tell me homestead arcana came out? I would have played it, I missed that. (0:32:21) Al: Kevin! (0:32:23) Kevin: I’ve been here. (0:32:24) Micah: Have I got news for you. (0:32:29) Al: Kevin, you literally, we literally have a shared list of all of these games and when they coming out, you can look at it all the time and I’m constantly updating it just to let you know that is a thing. (0:32:31) Kevin: Well, hey. (0:32:42) Kevin: You assume I read these even when we’re recording. (0:32:43) Al: Nope, I don’t assume that at all, but I will complain about it. (0:32:49) Al: So any thoughts before we get into listing our favorite games, any thoughts on the list as a whole? (0:32:56) Al: Here we go. (0:32:56) Kevin: Umm… (0:32:57) Kevin: Ugh… (0:32:58) Micah: It’s a good list (0:32:59) Kevin: It’s a very good list. It’s too good. (0:33:01) Micah: It’s a strong list that I (0:33:06) Micah: when I opened this this document and looked at it I was a (0:33:11) Micah: Surprised that so many games had come out this year and be a little bit (0:33:17) Micah: Concerned about how few of these games I actually played (0:33:20) Kevin: Exactly! (0:33:22) Kevin: Alright, time to strike out all the ones none of us have played. (0:33:26) Al: Yeah, no, that’s fair. And I think it is interesting, right? Because like, I’ve now been tracking these games. I think I have all of the farming games that have released ever now in my list. (0:33:36) Al: And so that’s 47 this year. Last year, there were 24. In 2021, there were 15. In 2020, (0:33:46) Al: there were nine. In 2019, there were 13. And then we’ve got like, between 2016 and 2018, (0:33:54) Al: were 16. (0:33:56) Al: So that’s like a three-year span, and they were the same number as they were in 2021. (0:34:03) Al: And then 2010 to 2015, there were 12 of them, half of which were just farming simulator, (0:34:10) Kevin: Yeah. (0:34:10) Al: and the other half were just harvest moon. (0:34:13) Al: That’s not true. (0:34:16) Al: There were three harvest moons, two rune factories in one story of seasons, and an animal crossing. (0:34:21) Al: So the rest were farming simulator. (0:34:23) Al: And then the five years before that, there were 17. (0:34:26) Al: It is wild that Stardew Valley is eight years old in February, just saying. (0:34:36) Kevin: Yup, thanks Stardew Valley. (0:34:43) Kevin: You changed the whole landscape of the genre of gaming, thanks. (0:34:50) Kevin: I thought it was older, to be honest. (0:34:53) Al: No, 2016. (0:34:56) Al: Right. (0:34:56) Al: Well, I mean, shall we get right into it then? (0:34:59) Al: Let’s go for one each around, what should we do around the table? (0:35:04) Al: One each. (0:35:04) Kevin: All right. (0:35:05) Al: And we can tell, say what the game is and tell me why you’ve got it in the list. (0:35:12) Al: And we’re not doing, no, it’s a terrible game. (0:35:15) Al: So Micah, would you like to go with your first one? (0:35:18) Micah: Uhhh… Can I go with my wildcard first? (0:35:20) Al: You can, you can go in whatever order you want. (0:35:22) Al: If you want to leave your strongest for last, go for it. (0:35:25) Al: if you want to start with your strong. (0:35:26) Al: Go for it if you want to do your crazy one first, do what you want. (0:35:29) Micah: I’m going to get my wild card out of the way because I know that it’s not going to go very far so. (0:35:31) Al: Let’s go for it. (0:35:34) Al: Never assume these things, you have no idea what’s going to happen. (0:35:37) Micah: OK, that’s true. You’re right. My my. (0:35:37) Kevin: I, I, yep, I. (0:35:39) Al: Oh wait, before we get into that, let me just quickly. (0:35:45) Al: I want to go through what we have had as our games of the year in the past. (0:35:51) Al: Last year, Ooblets won. (0:35:54) Al: 2022, Ooblets won. (0:35:57) Al: But it did. (0:35:58) Al: 2021 was Spiritfarer. (0:36:01) Al: 2020 was Summer in Mara. (0:36:04) Al: And 2019 was the Raymon Story of Seasons. (0:36:07) Kevin: Wildflower was robbed. (0:36:09) Micah: What year was Wildflowers? (0:36:11) Kevin: I don’t I (0:36:11) Micah: Oh. I mean. (0:36:11) Al: Yeah, Wildflowers last year. (0:36:13) Micah: Ooblitz though. (0:36:16) Al: None of the three of us had played it. (0:36:18) Al: And Kevin, you hadn’t played it by that point either. (0:36:20) Al: So… (0:36:21) Micah: Also- Also Ooblitz is- (0:36:21) Kevin: That is correct. (0:36:26) Al: Ooblets was the only… (0:36:27) Al: Well, you hadn’t played Ooblets, but me and Bev had. (0:36:30) Micah: Yes. (0:36:31) Al: And you had a wild card last year as well. (0:36:33) Al: So what’s your wild card this year? (0:36:35) Micah: What was my wildcard last year? (0:36:37) Al: Shinshan Summer Vacation. (0:36:38) Micah: Oh, I mean, that is actually I still stand by that. (0:36:44) Al: Look, I’m not saying it’s a bat, I’m just saying. (0:36:46) Al: Like it was a little bit out of life field, (0:36:47) Al: neither of us had heard of that game before you brought it up. (0:36:50) Micah: Well, let me tell you about my wildcard for this year, which I guarantee you have heard of. (0:36:55) Micah: There is absolutely no scenario where you have not heard of this game. (0:37:00) Micah: Are you ready? (0:37:02) Kevin: Is it the princess game? (0:37:03) Micah: It is Fortnite. (0:37:07) Al: OK, why? (0:37:08) Al: OK, so you– wait, no, no, right. (0:37:10) Al: OK, so, Micah, you’re telling me that over the past three days, (0:37:12) Micah: Uh-huh. Yeah. (0:37:16) Micah: Yes. (0:37:17) Al: you have played this game enough to consider it one of your favourite games of the year? (0:37:20) Micah: I would say that there’s a reason that it’s a wild card. (0:37:27) Micah: And I would say that it is probably the reason that it’s in my list is not because I would (0:37:33) Micah: personally consider it one of my favorite games of the year. (0:37:36) Micah: But I think that it is a very important bridge (0:37:42) Micah: for the wider Fortnite audience, which is massive, into the world of farming sims. (0:37:50) Al: Well, we will have talked about it in a previous episode, so. (0:37:50) Kevin: And hey, if we let them win… (0:37:52) Micah: For anybody that is confused by this and doesn’t understand why Fortnite is part of this conversation, (0:37:59) Micah: they just released… (0:38:02) Micah: Yes, the Fortnite, the LEGO Fortnite mode has been released as of three days ago. So… (0:38:10) Al: And for some reason, it’s basically Minecraft, but with more farming. It’s wild! (0:38:10) Kevin: Minecraft for tonight. (0:38:12) Micah: Yes, and also as Legos, and it’s in Fortnite. (0:38:15) Kevin: Yeah. (0:38:18) Micah: I don’t really know if there’s aside from skins and characters, there’s not. (0:38:21) Kevin: Wait, is it actually Lego brand? Lego? What? Holy moly. (0:38:24) Al: It is, it is. (0:38:25) Micah: Yes, it’s actually Lego brand. (0:38:28) Micah: And it’s you are just building Lego, (0:38:30) Micah: like a Lego like homestead basically of a village in the wild. (0:38:36) Kevin: That’s… (0:38:37) Micah: It’s essentially a survival, it’s more of a survival game than it is like (0:38:42) Kevin: Mm-hmm. (0:38:42) Micah: a farming sim. (0:38:43) Micah: So it’s more like you gotta eat and you gotta, there is, (0:38:44) Kevin: It’s all Minecraft. (0:38:44) Al: Yeah, but there does seem to be a decent amount of farming in it. (0:38:49) Micah: there is a decent amount of farming in it. (0:38:51) Micah: And I’ll say that I have played quite a bit of it because the team that I work with has been very into it. (0:38:59) Micah: So, and prior to that coming out, we had all been playing Ark, (0:39:06) Al: » Okay. Yeah. (0:39:06) Micah: the dinosaur survival game. (0:39:09) Micah: So we had a server that we were playing that on. (0:39:11) Micah: So when a new survive. (0:39:12) Micah: Survival type game released and it’s Fortnite and it’s free and it’s Lego then we were like, okay, well, let’s play this instead so we have been playing quite a bit of it and it’s I was a little bit shocked at how good of an experience it is because it’s it it’s just odd because it’s got other than the skins and the characters there’s and I guess the the game that it that you access it from there’s nothing related to Fortnite really it’s super obvious. (0:39:19) Al: suck (0:39:44) Al: No. Well, I think your character is in the beginning based on the main, the base Fortnite playable character, right? Yeah. It’s not Fortnite. It’s not Fortnite at all. So a couple of things I found interesting about this. So first of all, it made me realize that Fortnite is not just Fortnite anymore, right? Like Fortnite was just a battle royale, but that is just one of eight different game modes, right? Absolutely wild to me. (0:39:52) Micah: Yes. Yeah. So aside from the characters, I mean, it’s it’s really there’s not a lot of no, it’s not a (0:40:06) Kevin: Oh, it hasn’t been for a while. (0:40:08) Micah: Yeah. Right. (0:40:14) Al: That’s the point now. And second of all, not only is this, it’s like, it’s not just Fortnite, but Lego. It’s Fortnite, but Lego, if they made it Minecraft, but with more farming. (0:40:30) Al: And I am just, it’s just so fascinating. So I haven’t played a huge amount of it. I’ve downloaded it and I’ve started playing it and I’ve kind of done the first couple of things. And it’s not really grabbing me. I don’t think I’m going to spend a huge amount of time on it, but I think (0:40:44) Al: so. Minecraft, when we covered Minecraft on the podcast, it was, it was a bit of a stretch, (0:40:48) Al: right? There is farming, but it’s very limited. It’s like, it was four crops or something. There might be more now. Minecraft has done a lot since then, but it felt like a bit of a stretch. (0:40:58) Micah: Yeah, there is a significant differences between, you know, yeah, there’s quite a bit to do in Fortnite now, or in Minecraft, I mean. (0:41:05) Al: Yeah, but this feels like a legit farming game, but it’s not cottagecore. It’s survival farming game. (0:41:06) Kevin: Minecraft has not stopped growing, they do annual updates. (0:41:16) Micah: Mm hmm. (0:41:19) Micah: Yeah, so I guess it kind of it also is a little bit of like how you play it. (0:41:24) Micah: So like, granted, there is a survival aspect that needs to be taken care of. (0:41:29) Micah: But depending on who you’re playing with or the the you know, (0:41:32) Micah: there is a like peaceful mode that you can do similar to what Minecraft had, (0:41:36) Al: That’s a good point. (0:41:36) Micah: where it’s not really you don’t have to play the survival mode. (0:41:40) Micah: You can play it just for the sake of like, you know, (0:41:43) Micah: the kind of like sandbox aspect of it. (0:41:46) Micah: Where you’re building stuff and doing whatever you want. (0:41:46) Kevin: farming and whatnot. (0:41:48) Micah: Yeah. (0:41:49) Micah: But, you know, like with my group, I’m not as big into the survival aspects of it. (0:41:54) Micah: Like I don’t particularly care about, you know, min maxing food and water and so on and so forth. (0:42:01) Micah: I’m more into the like building and designing and, you know, farming and that stuff. (0:42:07) Micah: So I kind of take on that role while everybody else takes on the survival portion of it. (0:42:14) Micah: So there are different ways. (0:42:16) Micah: Is to be able to play it that make it a little bit more of like a comfortable experience. (0:42:22) Micah: I mean, I literally built a cottage, so I don’t know, you know. (0:42:25) Al: Yeah, that’s, I think that’s totally fair. I guess my point of what I was saying was, (0:42:26) Kevin: Nice. Well, there you go. (0:42:31) Al: was like, I think this is much more legitimate as a farming game than Minecraft was when, (0:42:38) Al: when we covered it. So I think it’s, it’s totally fair to count this as a farming game. (0:42:39) Micah: Right. (0:42:40) Kevin: Yeah. (0:42:42) Al: So maybe I should add it into the list as Lego Fortnite. Um, but here’s a question for you. Does this make Fortnite the most downloaded farming game ever? (0:42:44) Kevin: Oh, there you go. (0:42:54) Micah: That’s why I I’ve included it because I think it is important touchstone in the history of farming games where it (0:42:54) Kevin: Absolutely. (0:43:05) Micah: There’s a possibility I can see a world in which people who play this (0:43:10) Micah: Enjoy it enjoy the like farming aspects of it want more of that and branch out into other farming type games (0:43:17) Micah: because there is such a broad audience for fortnight that (0:43:21) Micah: You know and it’s there’s such a broad (0:43:24) Micah: Audience for Lego - that there is a good (0:43:30) Micah: Possibility that it creates more farming game fans, which I’m all for (0:43:35) Al: I’ve added it into the list and also I need to add one more that I forgot, which was Hello Kitty Island Adventure. (0:43:42) Kevin: Oh, yeah, well (0:43:42) Micah: I did see that that was missing from the list and I didn’t know if that was intentional or not so it just… (0:43:46) Al: Oh, you should have brought it up. Come on. (0:43:46) Kevin: Glaring a bit omission this entire show is a sham (0:43:51) Al: Look, look, we’re now up to 49 games, right? I’m sorry, I can’t keep track of the ball. (0:43:56) Kevin: It’s quick Somebody find one more quick Um one well, you know though what we have to do is we have to let fortnite win (0:44:03) Kevin: So we can get that sponsorship money. Welcome to the harvest season of fortnite podcast (0:44:06) Micah: - It’s true. (0:44:09) Micah: Of Fortnite, but I never, I just did not ever foresee (0:44:15) Micah: there being a scenario where in the farming game of the year discussion or just in general on a harvest season episode that I would be bringing up Fortnite in a like semi-serious way. (0:44:26) Kevin: Yeah, one thing I will I haven’t played Fortnite ever, but from what I understand, every time they bring in these new distinct modes or gameplay elements, it’s always very polished and good quality. (0:44:44) Kevin: Like they brought in Spider-Man swinging and Attack on Titan, so I’m not surprised that this is high quality and that’s a lot of money being thrown at this Lego money, Fortnite money. (0:44:57) Al: Alright, well, you’re probably right, it’s probably not going to win, but it’s there, (0:45:02) Al: it’s in the list, not many games get into the list. So, there we go. No, into the list of the two, there’s only nine. It’s only nine. Alright, Kevin, what’s your first? (0:45:06) Kevin: Nope just 48 others. Oh (0:45:10) Kevin: Our list, okay (0:45:15) Kevin: My first one I’m going to go with (0:45:19) Kevin: Manekos night market a shocker to everyone the game I’ve been pining for for how many years now. Oh (0:45:27) Kevin: gosh (0:45:28) Al: Like five, like maybe six. (0:45:31) Kevin: Yeah, I don’t know something like (0:45:32) Al: I think it was six years ago it was first. (0:45:33) Kevin: well (0:45:36) Kevin: Yeah, I think it’s I’ve the fact that I waited that long and still was happy with what came out I think is a testament to how good the game is (0:45:48) Kevin: Obviously, I haven’t played all these other games and it probably not even the ones on your guys list but I (0:45:54) Kevin: Out of the ones I see here. I probably I would argue it has the most personality and charm (0:46:02) Kevin: the art, the sort of craft book art. (0:46:06) Kevin: It has gone very, very enjoyable. (0:46:10) Kevin: I haven’t beaten it myself, right? (0:46:12) Kevin: It loses some points because it came out with a handful of bugs and rough edges. (0:46:18) Kevin: But it’s still a game that makes me smile every time. (0:46:24) Kevin: So yeah, I gotta give a shout out to Maneko because I think it actually did deliver. (0:46:30) Kevin: Um, obviously, you know, it’s not the scale of tears that– (0:46:36) Kevin: Kingdom waiting six years for that or whatever, but for the get what it set out to be from all the trailers and whatnot, I think it delivered. It’s very cute, which I appreciate now. I have cats myself. Yeah. (0:46:48) Al: Yeah, totally fair, and it is still the wallpaper on my phone and has been for like seven months, (0:46:57) Kevin: Yeah, there you go. Also actually one thing I (0:47:01) Kevin: Yeah, that’s the good stuff (0:47:04) Kevin: one thing I do want to add (0:47:06) Kevin: Go on as we talked about in the episode. We talked about it. Um, the (0:47:11) Kevin: titular night market part of it is very fun (0:47:15) Kevin: Auctioning going into little bid war with customers to sell who and make profits and whatnot (0:47:20) Kevin: I don’t think a lot of these other games are focused on that like making money (0:47:26) Kevin: So that was (0:47:27) Kevin: a refreshing angle approaching the whole cottagecore thing. (0:47:32) Kevin: And again, just very fun points for that. (0:47:36) Al: Awesome. (0:47:36) Micah: Uh, I, are, are we just for the sake of the structure? (0:47:43) Micah: Are we just going through our picks and then discussing them or are we? (0:47:48) Al: If you have more to talk about that game just now, then feel free. (0:47:53) Al: We don’t need to discuss whether it’s the winner yet or not. (0:47:55) Micah: Sure, uh, oh (0:47:55) Al: And don’t say whether it’s on your list yet or not. (0:47:56) Kevin: Yeah. (0:47:58) Al: We’ll get to that. (0:47:59) Micah: Okay, I (0:48:00) Kevin: Alright. (0:48:03) Kevin: Michael, what’s next on your list? (0:48:03) Al: Right, we don’t want to look, Micah, we have a collapsed list for the suspense. (0:48:05) Micah: Didn’t didn’t say one way or another (0:48:05) Kevin: I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Ow, ow. (0:48:11) Al: We’re keeping the suspense, even if it might really be obvious now. (0:48:12) Micah: Okay, you’re right you’re right you’re right (0:48:14) Kevin: Alright. (0:48:16) Micah: It’s not though cuz I’m changing it at the moment I’m typing no, I’m just kidding [laughing] (0:48:18) Al: All right. I’ll go with my wild card. No, no, come on. I’m going with my wild card, (0:48:24) Kevin: Alright, ow. (0:48:26) Kevin

[00:35.260 –> 00:42.060] My name is Al, I’m Kevin, and we’re here today to talk about farming games, all the farming [00:42.060 –> 00:43.060] games. [00:43.060 –> 00:44.060] Yeah! [00:44.060 –> 00:50.660] Before we get into it, your regular reminder that transcripts are available in the show [00:50.660 –> 00:53.540] notes and on the website for the podcast, so go get them if you need them. [00:53.540 –> 00:56.820] Kevin, how are you doing? [00:56.820 –> 01:01.420] I’m tired. [01:01.420 –> 01:11.260] It’s been a busy, busy month for me for a number of many things, but outside of that [01:11.260 –> 01:20.380] and the brief snippets of gaming, I got, let’s see, I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Snap, [01:20.420 –> 01:24.660] it’s good, I’ve been playing Octopath Traveler, it’s good. [01:24.660 –> 01:26.460] There was a Minecraft update recently. [01:26.460 –> 01:27.460] Oh, another? [01:27.460 –> 01:30.020] They just keep going, they never stop with that game. [01:30.020 –> 01:34.100] Yeah, they really don’t, and I’m talking about like, you know, not Patch Note, like, not [01:34.100 –> 01:38.920] Bug Fix or whatever, I’m talking about like a big content update. [01:38.920 –> 01:43.620] They introduced like, archaeology, quote unquote, into Minecraft, where you can dig into little [01:43.620 –> 01:48.620] ruins and discover little trinkets and shards and things like that and make pottery. [01:49.260 –> 01:55.140] They added sakura, like cherry blossoms, cherry blossom forests, and they added camels, that’s [01:55.140 –> 01:57.500] the real highlight of this update. [01:57.500 –> 01:58.820] They’re cute. [01:58.820 –> 02:00.500] I like camels. [02:00.500 –> 02:05.140] Yeah, so for people who enjoy Minecraft, go check it out. [02:05.140 –> 02:09.620] Always fun to fire it up again when a new thing is out. [02:09.620 –> 02:16.100] Other than that, I watched the first episode, yeah, there’s only one so far, at least at [02:16.100 –> 02:17.860] the time of this recording. [02:17.860 –> 02:26.140] Sword Invasion, the latest MCU series to hit Disney Plus, I know MCU turns people off [02:26.140 –> 02:31.660] right away, but this is a good one, it was a banger of an opening. [02:31.660 –> 02:38.700] That show hit the ground running, wasted no time, I won’t get too much into detail, but [02:38.700 –> 02:44.700] I enjoyed the ending, I enjoyed the action, I enjoyed the setup, everything was good, [02:44.700 –> 02:46.140] no complaints. [02:46.180 –> 02:48.900] I have one complaint, but it’s a spoilery complaint, so I’m not going to- [02:48.900 –> 02:54.700] Oh, well okay, yes, I can complain about that too, but I wasn’t bringing it up. [02:54.700 –> 02:58.700] We’re not going to bring it up, we’re not going to bring it up, we’re annoyed, annoyed, [02:58.700 –> 03:01.020] how dare you do that. [03:01.020 –> 03:05.100] I find it funny because like you say, this series is a good one, right, we’ve only got [03:05.100 –> 03:11.180] one episode, but assuming it continues in this way, I feel like the series have generally [03:11.180 –> 03:13.340] been good. [03:13.340 –> 03:15.500] What was the last bad series? [03:15.500 –> 03:19.380] Some people didn’t like Ms. Marvel because it’s just not their kind of thing, fair enough, [03:19.380 –> 03:23.420] some people wished that She-Hulk maybe had some more lawyer stuff, some people were very [03:23.420 –> 03:28.220] sexist about She-Hulk, but other than that, I think most of it has been like, if you didn’t [03:28.220 –> 03:32.940] like it, it’s just not your style of thing, I feel like the shows have been really good. [03:32.940 –> 03:40.780] I agree with that, I can’t think of anything super offensive, I mean there’s like- [03:40.780 –> 03:47.100] There’s individual issues that people had with like specific things that happen or like [03:47.100 –> 03:53.100] some episodes and stuff like that, but like I don’t, outside of like, oh I wish that She-Hulk [03:53.100 –> 04:00.740] had more lawyer stuff and I didn’t really like how kiddy Ms. Marvel was and some sexist [04:00.740 –> 04:04.300] stuff, outside of those three things, I’ve not really heard anyone go, I just did not [04:04.300 –> 04:09.260] like this series or this series is bad. [04:09.260 –> 04:16.540] I’m looking at a list here, my least favorite was probably Falcon and the Winter Soldier, [04:16.540 –> 04:24.220] I don’t think it’s bad per se, just I enjoyed the other ones, maybe Ms. Marvel, but anyways, [04:24.220 –> 04:29.100] I mean yeah, looking at it, I’ve enjoyed them all, there’s definitely been weaker series [04:29.100 –> 04:35.180] or weak points of the series, WandaVision, that ending, oof. [04:35.180 –> 04:44.220] No you’re right, it’s clear they’ve put the money in, I didn’t know what to expect [04:44.220 –> 04:51.420] from these series, like I didn’t know if- right, Marvel slash MCU has tried TV stuff [04:51.420 –> 04:57.220] before and it’s all been, you know, kind of erased, or they’re trying to erase it [04:57.220 –> 04:58.220] from history. [04:58.220 –> 05:03.340] Oh I mean some of it has been great, I can understand why some of it’s not amazing right, [05:03.340 –> 05:08.420] and obviously there were many parts of Agents of the Field that maybe they could have just [05:08.420 –> 05:12.940] missed some episodes and it still would have been good, but the Netflix series were almost [05:12.940 –> 05:22.700] all great, let’s ignore Luke Cage, not Luke Cage, sorry, let’s ignore Iron Fist, I know [05:22.700 –> 05:28.180] some people didn’t really like The Defenders, but other than that, I generally really liked- [05:28.180 –> 05:30.980] I mean I could be wrong, I don’t know how to watch them myself, I’m only speaking [05:30.980 –> 05:31.980] about what I’ve heard. [05:31.980 –> 05:40.760] But to your point, looking at the Disney Plus series, it’s been- they don’t feel [05:40.760 –> 05:50.680] like side projects per se, right, whereas quality, whatever it may have been, the other [05:50.680 –> 05:56.180] series definitely felt like side projects, whether it was Agents of Shields or the Netflix [05:56.180 –> 06:02.540] stuff, but here, no, it’s clear, they’re basically broken up movies, that’s what [06:02.540 –> 06:08.180] these series are, and so yeah, if you know how you feel about the MCU, that’s probably [06:08.180 –> 06:09.820] how you’ll feel about these series. [06:09.820 –> 06:16.580] Yeah, that’s fair, I feel like the overall quality has been better, and yeah, they could [06:16.580 –> 06:22.060] probably have trimmed a few of them down and stuff like that, but I certainly have enjoyed [06:22.060 –> 06:23.060] every single one of them. [06:23.060 –> 06:24.300] I obviously have my favorites. [06:24.300 –> 06:25.300] Of course. [06:25.420 –> 06:32.980] By default, you have to have your least favorites, aw, Midnight was good, but I actually find [06:32.980 –> 06:38.380] it really hard to decide what my favorite would be, like, I loved WandaVision, I would [06:38.380 –> 06:41.780] probably say Falcon and the Winter Soldier isn’t my favorite, but I still really like [06:41.780 –> 06:42.780] it. [06:42.780 –> 06:47.660] Loved Loki, loved What If, loved Hawkeye, loved Midnight, loved Ms. Marvel, loved She-Hulk, [06:47.660 –> 06:52.100] and I’ve been very much enjoying Secret Invasion so far, like, I have enjoyed every single [06:52.100 –> 06:53.100] one of them. [06:53.100 –> 07:04.300] Yeah, I agree with that, it’ll be interesting to see how Secret Invasion holds up, like, [07:04.300 –> 07:11.500] the one big advantage this series has is Samuel L. Jackson, right? [07:11.500 –> 07:16.660] That man can act, I don’t know if you knew that, but he’s an actor. [07:16.660 –> 07:20.860] Yeah, I feel like he’s thrown himself into this one as well, it’s not just a paycheck [07:20.860 –> 07:26.300] for him, he’s actually, he’s doing it, he’s acting it. [07:26.300 –> 07:34.820] Yeah, and it’s a fun premise for people who don’t know, Secret Invasion is, I know, in [07:34.820 –> 07:40.500] the comics, storyline, where there are alien shapeshifters invading Earth, posing as people, [07:40.500 –> 07:43.900] and they’re basically running with that same basic premise. [07:43.900 –> 07:50.800] So now it’s an interesting question of who do you trust, who’s an alien, yada yada yada. [07:50.840 –> 07:54.480] So yeah, I’m looking forward to the next episode, which airs tomorrow, no, not tomorrow, I’m [07:54.480 –> 08:00.400] losing track of the days, next Thursday, they release on Thursdays, Wednesdays, oh my gosh, [08:00.400 –> 08:06.600] time has no meaning for me anymore, what have you been up to? [08:06.600 –> 08:12.520] So I too have been watching Secret Invasion, I have not really been playing any games other [08:12.520 –> 08:20.560] than a couple of games for the podcast that listeners will hear in about a month and a [08:20.560 –> 08:27.960] half, yeah, because my Switch is still getting fixed, so. [08:27.960 –> 08:33.640] Better, hopefully it’ll come in soon, because boy, there’s some good things coming to the [08:33.640 –> 08:34.640] Switch. [08:34.640 –> 08:35.640] Yeah, I know. [08:35.640 –> 08:40.360] I just, I want it to come back, I just, as long as it gets to me, by just before I go [08:40.360 –> 08:42.840] on holiday, then I’m happy, right? [08:42.840 –> 08:45.720] There’s nothing in the next couple of weeks that I’m like, oh, I must play this. [08:45.720 –> 08:50.520] I’m obviously missing it, there are some things I’d like to be playing just now, but yeah, [08:50.520 –> 08:55.600] as long as it gets to me before I go on holiday, and as long as it has my Pokemon saves, that’s [08:55.600 –> 08:57.480] all I care about. [08:57.480 –> 08:59.480] Sounds good to me. [08:59.480 –> 09:03.480] So before we get into the news, we have some feedback. [09:03.480 –> 09:07.880] Okay, is this the first time this has happened? [09:07.880 –> 09:11.640] I think it’s the first time it’s happened so much as I felt the need to cover it on [09:11.640 –> 09:12.640] the podcast. [09:12.640 –> 09:19.440] We’ve had a few game devs reply and kind of, not clarify things, but just thank us and [09:20.360 –> 09:21.360] Well, sure, sure, sure. [09:21.360 –> 09:22.360] There’s like, yeah. [09:22.360 –> 09:26.480] I think this is the first time we’ve had like a clarification to something said on the podcast. [09:26.480 –> 09:30.920] From the developers or team, whoever, the official people. [09:30.920 –> 09:36.840] So last episode, Bev and Cody were talking about Mossfield Origins. [09:36.840 –> 09:39.040] And I think there were a couple of things mentioned. [09:39.040 –> 09:43.760] First of all, it was mentioned that it looks a bit like, like it has, it doesn’t really [09:43.760 –> 09:48.440] have goals and stuff like that. [09:48.480 –> 09:54.560] And the developer has replied to us and said that it in fact does have goals that are research [09:54.560 –> 09:59.360] levels and each research level has stuff to progress and various things change over time. [09:59.360 –> 10:02.560] And it doesn’t matter if you take a while to do these goals, it’s less sandbox and more [10:02.560 –> 10:03.640] narrative driven. [10:03.640 –> 10:06.480] So that’s good to know. [10:06.480 –> 10:12.520] And also a follow up for that was there was mentioned that it was very sepia and I can’t [10:12.520 –> 10:13.520] remember who it was. [10:13.520 –> 10:16.800] One of the two said they weren’t a huge fan of the sepia tones. [10:16.800 –> 10:21.960] And the developer said it’s less sepia and more vibrant now than it used to be. [10:21.960 –> 10:23.920] There was a steam post about that. [10:23.920 –> 10:27.960] So if you’re interested in looking up that there, you can look on the steam page and [10:27.960 –> 10:29.800] see the post for that. [10:29.800 –> 10:30.800] Yeah. [10:30.800 –> 10:32.800] Thank you for the clarification. [10:32.800 –> 10:33.800] Yeah. [10:33.800 –> 10:37.160] So, and this means they’re listening. [10:37.160 –> 10:38.160] Yeah. [10:38.160 –> 10:39.160] They’re listening. [10:39.160 –> 10:44.540] Well, let me tell you, let me tell you, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the only [10:44.540 –> 10:50.100] developer actually listening when they respond to my tweets because so many times like I’ll [10:50.100 –> 10:54.420] say something negative or something and they just like, like it and retweet it and that’s [10:54.420 –> 10:55.420] it. [10:55.420 –> 10:56.420] And it’s, they’ve clearly not listened to it. [10:56.420 –> 11:00.700] Whereas this developer is very definitely listening because you wouldn’t know that without [11:00.700 –> 11:01.700] having listened to the podcast. [11:01.700 –> 11:02.700] So that’s cool. [11:02.700 –> 11:03.700] Thank you very much. [11:03.700 –> 11:04.700] If you’re listening this time. [11:04.700 –> 11:10.700] See, now the play, the play is the title of this episode, something cryptic in regards [11:10.700 –> 11:12.120] to Mossfield. [11:12.120 –> 11:18.480] And then they’re going to be sweating as they listen for this very moment in the podcast. [11:18.480 –> 11:24.840] Something uh, something clickbaity like, uh, developer slams podcast hosts. [11:24.840 –> 11:27.080] You wouldn’t believe what this developer said. [11:27.080 –> 11:29.440] Our response to Mossfield ends. [11:29.440 –> 11:34.280] Ah, we wouldn’t do that. [11:34.280 –> 11:35.520] That’s that’s, that’s mean. [11:35.520 –> 11:40.600] We wouldn’t do that, we wouldn’t do that. [11:40.600 –> 11:41.600] All right, cool. [11:42.080 –> 11:43.800] So let’s talk about some news. [11:43.800 –> 11:47.000] So I thought there’s quite a few releases, um, just now. [11:47.000 –> 11:50.800] So I thought I would just do a quick rundown of what’s happened. [11:50.800 –> 11:56.120] So we’ve just had ever dream valley release on switch. [11:56.120 –> 12:03.080] And then Kevin is crying because we also then have, uh, two releases that will be out by [12:03.080 –> 12:05.200] the time this episode comes out. [12:05.200 –> 12:08.400] One lonely outpost and story of seasons, a wonderful life. [12:08.400 –> 12:10.320] Wait, lonely outpost? [12:10.320 –> 12:11.320] It’s coming out. [12:12.040 –> 12:13.040] It’s early access. [12:13.040 –> 12:14.040] Oh, early. [12:14.040 –> 12:15.040] Okay. [12:15.040 –> 12:16.040] So not coming. [12:16.040 –> 12:17.040] Okay. [12:17.040 –> 12:18.040] Okay. [12:18.040 –> 12:19.040] Well, people will be able to play it and buy it. [12:19.040 –> 12:20.040] Right. [12:20.040 –> 12:25.600] It’s just, uh, we don’t, we don’t, yeah, we don’t need to go into that debate again. [12:25.600 –> 12:33.680] I’m I’m just, uh, I’m just saying that, uh, I’m just going to say that I feel like there’s [12:33.680 –> 12:40.960] a game that’s filled that, that niche that a real legend had. [12:40.960 –> 12:43.800] But anyways, uh, what I am crying over is story of seasons. [12:43.800 –> 12:44.800] Oh no. [12:44.800 –> 12:45.800] Oh no. [12:45.800 –> 12:47.960] That’s, that’s three days from the day of this recording. [12:47.960 –> 12:48.960] I don’t like it. [12:48.960 –> 12:51.960] No, no, I don’t need it now. [12:51.960 –> 12:55.400] I want a wonderful life. [12:55.400 –> 12:56.800] You’re excited about this Kevin. [12:56.800 –> 12:57.800] I am. [12:57.800 –> 12:59.200] I am so excited. [12:59.200 –> 13:01.760] Maybe the game I’m well, that’s not true. [13:01.760 –> 13:05.280] There’s a lot of good games coming out now, but at least in terms of the cottage core [13:05.280 –> 13:10.400] sphere on this podcasting field, it’s probably the game I’m most excited for. [13:10.400 –> 13:11.400] No, that’s not true. [13:11.400 –> 13:15.280] Minneko comes out this year. [13:15.280 –> 13:20.840] I don’t know how I’m going to, I’m not ready for this game, but I need it a wonderful life. [13:20.840 –> 13:22.200] It’s it’s a good game. [13:22.200 –> 13:24.920] Um, I’m wondering, I’m doing okay there, Kevin. [13:24.920 –> 13:30.200] No, no, I’m falling apart before the podcast and just falling apart more. [13:30.200 –> 13:31.200] I’m kidding. [13:31.200 –> 13:39.880] I wonder this feels like probably one of the biggest quote unquote releases in the cottage [13:39.880 –> 13:41.480] core field in a while. [13:41.480 –> 13:49.460] I’m curious to see how much traction or tension it gets because, uh, yes, you know, this, [13:49.460 –> 13:51.520] this is the nostalgia, right? [13:51.520 –> 13:53.400] Like that’s, that’s always a big one. [13:53.400 –> 13:58.880] Um, it’s not just nostalgia, but it’s specific nostalgia for this one because like this one, [13:58.880 –> 14:03.120] as I’ve mentioned this a couple of times, but this seems to be like most people who [14:03.120 –> 14:07.800] are kind of like our sort of age, this was their first farming game. [14:07.800 –> 14:08.800] Absolutely. [14:08.800 –> 14:14.520] Um, the time planets just kind of aligned at the timeline there. [14:14.520 –> 14:16.400] There wasn’t a lot of competition back then. [14:16.400 –> 14:17.400] Right. [14:17.400 –> 14:18.400] Like, yeah. [14:18.400 –> 14:22.440] Um, so sure, but it’s not, it’s not, it wasn’t one of the earlier harvest means it was this [14:22.440 –> 14:23.440] one specifically. [14:23.440 –> 14:25.480] Yeah, no, you’re right. [14:25.480 –> 14:31.000] I think it, I think it might just be like the age we were when it came out, we could, [14:31.000 –> 14:35.280] we’re old enough to appreciate it versus, you know, little kids probably don’t fully [14:35.280 –> 14:39.040] get the intricacies of farming game or whatever. [14:39.040 –> 14:43.040] Anyways, point is, there’s probably, there’s a lot more people who care about this than [14:43.040 –> 14:50.320] say, Everdream Valley, no offense to Everdream Valley or any of the other games, just the [14:50.320 –> 14:54.000] name I saw, it’s just, this is a big one. [14:54.000 –> 14:59.680] So I’m really curious to see if this gets some traction and, and, and if it does, we [14:59.680 –> 15:07.360] will absolutely abuse the SEO and hashtag AWL or whatever we need to do to get people [15:07.360 –> 15:08.360] listening to this show. [15:08.360 –> 15:15.240] And it will be interesting to see how it, how it, how it works out compared to the original [15:15.240 –> 15:17.560] and your nostalgia and stuff like that. [15:17.560 –> 15:18.560] Oh gosh, oh gosh. [15:18.560 –> 15:24.520] I’m, I’m, I’m trying not to think about that because I’m not a big fan of some of the changes [15:24.520 –> 15:31.160] they’ve done, but we’ll see, hopefully, I mean Story of Seasons will probably be good, [15:31.160 –> 15:32.160] at least mechanically. [15:32.160 –> 15:33.160] Yeah, yeah. [15:33.160 –> 15:40.160] All right, well, let’s get into the, the actual new news. [15:40.160 –> 15:43.160] So first of all, Palia. [15:43.160 –> 15:50.880] So this was on the Nintendo Direct, that Palia is coming to Switch by the end of the year! [15:50.880 –> 15:51.880] Wow. [15:52.240 –> 15:57.040] So, I mean, if you, I guess, if you’ve not paid attention to what Palia is, we’ve talked [15:57.040 –> 16:07.040] about it a couple of times, but it’s a free-to-play, cottagecore MMO set in the, in a high fantasy [16:07.040 –> 16:08.040] world. [16:08.040 –> 16:16.880] Yeah, I, I’ve been, I’ve missed, oh, I haven’t been paying too close attention to Palia until [16:16.880 –> 16:21.720] the Direct one is forced in my face, basically, yeah. [16:21.720 –> 16:28.200] I don’t know what to think, I mean, have people been enjoying this already? [16:28.200 –> 16:36.200] I don’t know, it’s, it’s a tough spot to be in, MMO and cottagecore, like, it’s, those [16:36.200 –> 16:43.520] are both big, big playing fields with big, big players, so it takes a lot to stand out. [16:43.520 –> 16:45.840] It’s an interesting combination of things. [16:45.840 –> 16:46.840] It is. [16:47.800 –> 16:59.960] I mean, I think, on paper, those, those two Venn diagram circles overlap a lot, because [16:59.960 –> 17:05.560] a lot of cottagecore slash farming is, like, task-based, right? [17:05.560 –> 17:09.080] You gotta do your farming tasks, your fishing, yada yada. [17:09.080 –> 17:14.400] And a lot of MMO stuff is like that, too, so it probably lines up well. [17:15.280 –> 17:19.600] Yeah, yeah, I guess it’ll be interesting, because, like, there are some things that [17:19.600 –> 17:25.640] can be in MMOs that are very definitely not calming, you know, and very much stressful, [17:25.640 –> 17:27.840] so it’ll be interesting to see how it works with those sorts of things. [17:27.840 –> 17:34.040] I will admit, I haven’t really looked into the game, but yeah, that’s, it’ll be interesting [17:34.040 –> 17:35.040] to see how that goes. [17:35.040 –> 17:40.600] Are you saying you don’t want 10-person farming raids, whatever that would look like? [17:40.600 –> 17:44.240] I didn’t, I didn’t say that, no. [17:44.240 –> 17:50.680] My, okay, okay, so, all that, like, the general stuff aside, more specifically, I’m curious, [17:50.680 –> 17:52.800] is this gonna be cross-play? [17:52.800 –> 17:55.080] You would hope so, right? [17:55.080 –> 17:56.860] I think so, yeah. [17:56.860 –> 18:00.400] The interesting thing is, when they posted about this, they still haven’t technically [18:00.400 –> 18:06.840] said, they still hadn’t technically said that the PC version would be fully released by [18:06.840 –> 18:10.720] this year, and so they had some people complaining about that, so they were like, oh no, it will [18:10.720 –> 18:15.000] be fully releasing on PC before Switch, don’t worry. [18:15.000 –> 18:20.160] The fully released version, exclusive to Switch. [18:20.160 –> 18:24.720] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [18:24.720 –> 18:29.080] I’m not seeing anything about cross-play, but I’m not seeing anything about not cross-play, [18:29.080 –> 18:31.920] like, surely it would be, right? [18:31.920 –> 18:40.200] Yeah, I, it, it would be bananas if it didn’t, cause they, um, yeah, I, I can’t. [18:40.200 –> 18:46.360] Yeah, it was like the bread and butter for this sort of genre, to have everyone connect [18:46.360 –> 18:47.360] online, right? [18:47.360 –> 18:49.480] So, it’d be weird to split up your audience like that. [18:49.480 –> 18:55.680] Oh yes, here we are, I checked on our blog, um, we intend to support cross, cross-progression [18:55.680 –> 19:00.160] and cross-play, so you can bring your Palio character from PC to Nintendo Switch or vice [19:00.160 –> 19:01.160] versa. [19:01.160 –> 19:05.360] We’re still working out the final details, so be sure to stay tuned to our Discord, Twitter, [19:05.360 –> 19:08.000] Instagram and Facebook for all the latest updates. [19:08.000 –> 19:09.000] Okay, yeah. [19:09.040 –> 19:11.800] Yeah, alright, well, good for them. [19:11.800 –> 19:14.440] Um, what else we got going on? [19:14.440 –> 19:22.320] Uh, yes, so, Sunhaven, a new update for Sunhaven, 1.2, uh, cool, get me on Switch, please, hurry [19:22.320 –> 19:23.320] up. [19:23.320 –> 19:27.360] Um, so this is the Romance and Barns update. [19:27.360 –> 19:29.080] You can romance barns? [19:29.080 –> 19:32.080] Uh, yeah, everybody loves to romance barns. [19:32.080 –> 19:38.480] Um, so it’s got new, romanceable characters, three of them, I believe, some new and upgradeable [19:39.480 –> 19:47.400] farm building with customization, some new player house customizability, there’s quite [19:47.400 –> 19:54.440] a lot of customizability here, lots of colors, lots of things. [19:54.440 –> 20:01.040] You can customize your farm building to look like a tub of noodles. [20:01.040 –> 20:04.440] That’s not bad, you’ve caught my attention. [20:04.440 –> 20:10.080] I thought I would, I thought I would, I know you, Kevin, I knew you. [20:10.080 –> 20:14.760] Now, I was about to say this game looks busy, just looking down the pictures and adding [20:14.760 –> 20:15.840] more to that is chaotic. [20:15.840 –> 20:21.800] But when you told me and I see it now, like the Oh, yeah, the Chinese takeout ramen box, [20:21.800 –> 20:25.320] like, okay, okay, no, they’re, they’re onto something. [20:25.320 –> 20:29.760] Now, now they have my attention, as soon as they hit the switch, you can make the player [20:29.760 –> 20:36.360] house look like a gingerbread house, a cup of coffee, you can have cat ears, I love the [20:36.360 –> 20:37.360] cat ears. [20:37.360 –> 20:38.360] Yeah. [20:38.360 –> 20:47.760] And for new DLC packs, so the their DLC packs are all like additional cosplayer cosmetics. [20:47.760 –> 20:52.040] There’s a snacks snackoon costume. [20:52.040 –> 20:54.640] So this this snackoon one is free as well. [20:54.640 –> 20:58.160] So you can go get the snackoon outfit and I suspect they’ve done this to just get you [20:58.160 –> 21:02.480] used to the idea of getting a DLC. [21:02.480 –> 21:07.080] There’s the set sale DLC, which contains over 40 items. [21:07.080 –> 21:13.960] The pirate themed pack, next you have the mush mushy DLC, which is a mushroom themed [21:13.960 –> 21:15.880] pack with over 40 items as well. [21:15.880 –> 21:21.240] I don’t like mushrooms and eating at least well, no, but I mean, you like things are [21:21.240 –> 21:22.240] themed like mushrooms. [21:22.240 –> 21:25.480] I do love the mushroom themed things though. [21:25.480 –> 21:29.820] And the ocean shores DLC, which contains over 30 items. [21:29.820 –> 21:32.080] And it’s a beach themed pack. [21:32.080 –> 21:33.560] This is pretty cool. [21:33.560 –> 21:38.840] Um, like, now, like just thinking about this, I’m a paid or I mean, I have paid attention [21:38.840 –> 21:44.040] to Sunhaven, but it’s falling out of my brain, and so I’m repaying attention right now. [21:44.040 –> 21:49.360] I going all out and turning your farm into nonsense. [21:49.360 –> 21:51.340] That’s not something you see that frequently. [21:51.340 –> 21:52.840] So I appreciate that. [21:52.840 –> 21:53.840] Yeah. [21:53.840 –> 21:56.200] I’m looking forward to playing this game. [21:56.200 –> 21:57.860] I just want it on the switch. [21:57.860 –> 22:00.960] Can we get on the switch, please? [22:00.960 –> 22:01.960] Coming soon. [22:01.960 –> 22:04.720] Bunch of stuff. [22:04.720 –> 22:06.920] Give me on switch. [22:06.920 –> 22:10.280] That’s I mean, that’s a common sentiment for most things in my life. [22:10.280 –> 22:13.040] I’m not even seeing any mention of the switch anymore. [22:13.040 –> 22:17.400] They’re they’re listening to this right now, just like the mosque people. [22:17.400 –> 22:19.440] They’re they’re avoiding it intentionally. [22:19.440 –> 22:20.440] Yeah. [22:20.440 –> 22:21.440] Anyway. [22:21.440 –> 22:22.440] Cool. [22:22.440 –> 22:23.440] What’s next? [22:24.040 –> 22:25.840] So we’ve got silent hope. [22:25.840 –> 22:30.460] So this is a new game announced by the ring factory team because they hadn’t announced [22:30.460 –> 22:33.760] enough games recently. [22:33.760 –> 22:36.360] This is a battle and farming RPG. [22:36.360 –> 22:42.560] So I mean, can the same concept as ring factory, but a different way of thinking about it. [22:42.560 –> 22:47.340] They’ve said it is in the same world as ring factory. [22:47.340 –> 22:51.280] It also, you know, contains the chicken and cow. [22:51.280 –> 22:52.280] Yeah. [22:53.120 –> 22:54.720] I didn’t pay attention. [22:54.720 –> 22:55.720] It’s the cow. [22:55.720 –> 22:56.720] I didn’t. [22:56.720 –> 23:00.000] Oh, I love that cow. [23:00.000 –> 23:06.320] It’s coming out on the third of October on steam and switch. [23:06.320 –> 23:07.920] I’m intrigued by this. [23:07.920 –> 23:10.960] It looks a lot more like something I would enjoy. [23:10.960 –> 23:17.280] It looks like if I if, if somebody had designed room factory for me to like, sure. [23:17.280 –> 23:20.380] Like it just looks a lot more fun. [23:20.380 –> 23:25.140] And they’re going, they’re keeping on the kind of like 2.5 D style. [23:25.140 –> 23:29.960] Like you’re kind of like, it’s, you’re moving around in three dimensions, but you’re not [23:29.960 –> 23:36.340] like your camera isn’t like down low and you’re, I just don’t, I’m not a huge fan of how ring [23:36.340 –> 23:37.340] factory has gone. [23:37.340 –> 23:38.900] I’m not saying they shouldn’t do that. [23:38.900 –> 23:40.060] I know a lot of people would enjoy. [23:40.060 –> 23:43.500] I’m just personally not a huge fan of that. [23:43.500 –> 23:49.540] But I much prefer the graphics to this and the combat looks more fun to me. [23:49.540 –> 23:52.860] So I will almost certainly be picking this up. [23:52.860 –> 23:56.320] I on it was on the direct. [23:56.320 –> 23:59.500] I watched it wasn’t paying too much attention, probably because I was still reeling from [23:59.500 –> 24:02.100] other news. [24:02.100 –> 24:06.980] But now, like, I totally missed that it was in the room factory world. [24:06.980 –> 24:07.980] That’s cool. [24:07.980 –> 24:10.980] I say is someone who’s never factory game. [24:10.980 –> 24:12.460] Yeah, but it’s still it’s still cool. [24:12.460 –> 24:16.620] You can it’s cool in concept, even if they’ve never actually been part of that. [24:16.620 –> 24:17.620] Yeah. [24:17.620 –> 24:18.620] I’m looking at it. [24:18.700 –> 24:19.700] With your points. [24:19.700 –> 24:20.700] It looks dynamic. [24:20.700 –> 24:23.800] It looks the visuals are nice enough. [24:23.800 –> 24:25.300] And it has the cow. [24:25.300 –> 24:26.300] That’s all that. [24:26.300 –> 24:27.300] That’s the selling point. [24:27.300 –> 24:32.000] It is one of the best designed cows in in the genre. [24:32.000 –> 24:33.260] You know, it really is. [24:33.260 –> 24:35.940] You’d be hard pressed to find a better cow. [24:35.940 –> 24:36.940] Yeah. [24:36.940 –> 24:37.940] Oh, so yeah. [24:37.940 –> 24:38.940] Do we have it? [24:38.940 –> 24:39.940] I forget. [24:39.940 –> 24:40.940] Did you say date? [24:40.940 –> 24:41.940] Do we have a date? [24:41.940 –> 24:42.940] Yeah. [24:42.940 –> 24:43.940] Third of October. [24:43.940 –> 24:45.780] So although I say I will be buying this, let’s be honest, I’m not going to buy on and play [24:45.780 –> 24:49.780] on release day because that’s only a week after Maneko’s Night Market, Harvest Moon, [24:49.780 –> 24:54.980] The Winds of Anthos, Paleo Pines and My Time at Sandrock all release. [24:54.980 –> 24:56.780] How are you going to survive that week? [24:56.780 –> 24:57.780] Good heavens. [24:57.780 –> 25:00.820] I’m going to survive it by not playing My Time at Sandrock. [25:00.820 –> 25:04.140] Yeah, I don’t. [25:04.140 –> 25:07.700] We’ve got I’m trying to figure out the right order to do these things. [25:07.700 –> 25:09.960] And that’s only the cottagecore obligations. [25:09.960 –> 25:12.100] There’s some other good junk coming. [25:12.100 –> 25:16.740] Well, yeah, there’s a few weeks at least before other things come out. [25:16.740 –> 25:17.740] Mm hmm. [25:17.740 –> 25:22.860] Oh, man, yeah, it’s definitely gonna be a busy autumn. [25:22.860 –> 25:23.860] Surprise! [25:23.860 –> 25:27.220] Pokemon DLC launches that week. [25:27.220 –> 25:28.940] I don’t think it would come out in October. [25:28.940 –> 25:30.580] No, I don’t think so either. [25:30.580 –> 25:32.460] And I think it will come out in November. [25:32.460 –> 25:33.460] Probably. [25:33.460 –> 25:34.460] I think it will be in November and February. [25:34.460 –> 25:37.180] I think it will be what it is, but we’ll see. [25:37.180 –> 25:39.420] We’ll talk about that on a different thing. [25:39.420 –> 25:47.220] And the final news entry is another new game, Wild Mender. [25:47.220 –> 25:49.620] So I think this one was mentioned on the… [25:49.620 –> 25:50.820] Was this one mentioned on the… [25:50.820 –> 25:53.220] No, it wasn’t mentioned on the direct. [25:53.220 –> 25:57.180] This was just another random thing. [25:57.180 –> 25:58.180] What was this? [25:58.180 –> 26:02.980] So this is a desert gardening survival game. [26:02.980 –> 26:07.020] Start from a tiny spring and cultivate a blooming garden. [26:07.020 –> 26:11.900] Explore a vast world amid the sands and uncover its mysteries. [26:11.900 –> 26:17.540] Can you defend against the relentless forces of nature and mysterious wraith corruption [26:17.540 –> 26:19.900] to bring life to a dying world? [26:19.900 –> 26:20.900] That’s… [26:20.900 –> 26:21.900] That was a lot of words. [26:21.900 –> 26:22.900] It was. [26:22.900 –> 26:26.380] I’m not really sure how to get all in. [26:26.380 –> 26:27.380] I like the graphics. [26:27.380 –> 26:29.520] Yeah, no, I’m looking at the trailer. [26:29.520 –> 26:32.180] This has very pleasing visuals. [26:32.180 –> 26:33.820] It’s a really nice kind of combination. [26:33.820 –> 26:36.700] It’s kind of like a nice balance between… [26:36.700 –> 26:41.380] It’s not ridiculously cartoony, but it’s also not trying to be realistic. [26:41.380 –> 26:46.420] It’s more on the kind of like, I guess, kind of like, you know, Breath of the Wild kind [26:46.420 –> 26:47.420] of idea. [26:47.420 –> 26:48.420] Yeah, in that general direction. [26:48.420 –> 26:51.100] Realistic cartoony, if that makes sense. [26:51.100 –> 26:55.740] Like it’s not trying to look wind waker-y, like really ridiculously cartoony, but it’s [26:55.740 –> 26:57.380] not trying to be realistic. [26:57.380 –> 27:00.900] Yeah, no, I totally see what you mean. [27:00.900 –> 27:04.120] And something it does very well is lighting. [27:04.120 –> 27:10.960] Like there’s some sunset scenes and you have like a little cape that’s glowing and oh, [27:10.960 –> 27:11.960] that’s really pretty. [27:11.960 –> 27:12.960] Yeah. [27:12.960 –> 27:14.540] There’s glowing plants and things. [27:14.540 –> 27:16.780] Northern Lights, or I guess it’s just the Aurora. [27:16.780 –> 27:17.780] I don’t know where this is. [27:17.780 –> 27:19.780] This is some Aurora. [27:19.780 –> 27:20.780] Yeah. [27:20.780 –> 27:26.500] So I don’t know, there’s a lot going on. [27:26.500 –> 27:30.060] I’ll be keeping an eye on this because it does look very pretty. [27:30.060 –> 27:35.420] If nothing else, like these visuals are worth checking out. [27:35.420 –> 27:39.260] It looks like it might, I’ve not seen a mention of it, but it looks like it might be open [27:39.260 –> 27:40.260] world. [27:40.260 –> 27:46.700] It’s definitely kind of like the way that you’re traveling is very much like kind of [27:46.700 –> 27:51.100] Breath of the Wild type thing where you’re running around and climbing, you can, it looks [27:51.100 –> 27:56.900] like you can climb anything and kind of go anywhere sort of thing. [27:56.900 –> 28:01.900] So a minor complaint, and this is probably just a personal thing. [28:01.900 –> 28:05.020] For a, they’re selling themselves as a desert game. [28:05.020 –> 28:07.180] There’s a lot of not desert in this game. [28:07.180 –> 28:08.860] There’s a lot of lush forests and- [28:08.860 –> 28:11.980] Yeah, well, I think the point is you’re turning the desert into a forest. [28:11.980 –> 28:17.940] I think that’s the point because it says, turn the desert green with the tools you crafted [28:17.940 –> 28:23.620] set out to grow the little oasis in the middle of a vast desert into your own thriving garden. [28:23.620 –> 28:29.340] Dig canals, nurture your plants, craft useful and beautiful structures, harness magical [28:29.340 –> 28:32.740] essence, protect against the forces of nature and more. [28:32.740 –> 28:36.220] You’ll have plenty of space and choices to create the garden of your imagination. [28:36.220 –> 28:41.180] Acre by acre, you will reclaim the desert and reforest the world. [28:41.180 –> 28:46.700] I get that, but I also would like to see a game that’s just purely desert farming. [28:46.700 –> 28:49.340] I want to see what that would look like. [28:49.340 –> 28:57.980] But yeah, so I’m guessing your loop here is you go out into the desert to explore and [28:57.980 –> 28:58.980] find things. [28:58.980 –> 29:03.300] You come back to your oasis and you nurture it and grow things and that slowly expands [29:03.300 –> 29:08.100] and then as that expands, you’re then able to explore further out. [29:08.100 –> 29:11.180] Yeah, yeah. [29:11.180 –> 29:12.180] It’s a good looking game. [29:12.180 –> 29:15.900] I will keep my eye on this, what is it? [29:15.900 –> 29:16.900] Wild Mender. [29:16.900 –> 29:17.900] Yeah. [29:17.900 –> 29:18.900] Wild Mender. [29:19.460 –> 29:25.260] I’ve not seen anything about Switch, it looks like it’s just Windows on Steam as far as [29:25.260 –> 29:26.260] I can see. [29:26.260 –> 29:30.980] Well, hopefully it does well enough that they feel a Switch port would be justified. [29:30.980 –> 29:35.020] Yes, and presumably it’ll work on the Steam Deck. [29:35.020 –> 29:40.100] The good thing, as I’ve mentioned before, about Steam Deck is that it gets people thinking [29:40.100 –> 29:46.980] of controllers from the start so that then porting to Switch can be a little bit easier [29:46.980 –> 29:48.540] in that aspect of things. [29:48.580 –> 29:51.100] Yeah, yeah, that’s very true. [29:51.100 –> 29:52.340] Alright, cool. [29:52.340 –> 29:54.780] That’s all the news. [29:54.780 –> 29:56.780] So I realized I didn’t mention at the top what we’re doing. [29:56.780 –> 30:01.940] Well, you said we’re going to talk about farming games and we’re going to talk about farming [30:01.940 –> 30:02.940] games. [30:02.940 –> 30:05.100] So we’re going to do a mid-year catch up. [30:05.100 –> 30:12.860] So this is the middle of the year, this is the 26th episode of the year, my word, that’s [30:12.860 –> 30:13.860] ridiculous. [30:13.860 –> 30:14.860] I don’t like that. [30:14.860 –> 30:17.180] I don’t like that at all. [30:17.180 –> 30:22.020] We have now done more episodes this year, or as many episodes this year as we did last [30:22.020 –> 30:23.020] year. [30:23.020 –> 30:27.620] Oh, that’s cool, but I don’t like the halfway point thing. [30:27.620 –> 30:30.500] Oh, oh no. [30:30.500 –> 30:33.060] So we’re going to talk about what’s happened so far. [30:33.060 –> 30:36.020] Out of what’s happened so far, what’s our favorite? [30:36.020 –> 30:39.180] Is anything in contention for Game of the Year so far? [30:39.180 –> 30:45.300] And we’ll maybe go over what’s still to come out, which I’m just going to reorganize things, [30:45.300 –> 30:46.740] so I’ll pull that down. [30:46.740 –> 30:50.900] So I guess I’ll just go through this list of things that have released so far, because [30:50.900 –> 30:54.840] I’ve got much better on keeping track of what games are coming out. [30:54.840 –> 30:57.680] And so hopefully this will be much easier at the end of the year as well. [30:57.680 –> 30:59.340] So here’s my long list. [30:59.340 –> 31:00.740] We love lists. [31:00.740 –> 31:02.100] Games released so far this year. [31:02.100 –> 31:08.420] Above Snakes, Before the Green Moon, Everdream Valley, Fableton, Early Access, Farming Simulator [31:08.420 –> 31:16.980] 23, Garden Inn, Homestead Arcana, Enchanted, Research Story Early Access, Roots of Pacha, [31:16.980 –> 31:24.100] Season A Letter to the Future, Smooshy Come Home, Song of the Prairie, Sundown, Sunhaven [31:24.100 –> 31:30.740] 1.0, T’Chia, Terra Nil, and of course not technically out yet, but by the time this [31:30.740 –> 31:36.520] podcast comes out are One Lonely Outpost Early Access, no I’m going to redo that one, One [31:36.520 –> 31:43.520] Lonely Outpost Early Access, and Story of Seasons, A Wonderful Life. [31:43.520 –> 31:47.000] I think that’s more games than came out in 2021. [31:47.000 –> 31:48.000] It feels like it. [31:48.000 –> 31:52.280] Yep, looking at the list, so one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, yeah there’s like [31:52.280 –> 31:56.880] 12 games that came out in 2021, and that is more than 12 games. [31:56.880 –> 32:05.800] I mean, well okay, I probably, not just Cottagecore, it feels like gaming in general a lot is coming [32:05.800 –> 32:08.480] out this year. [32:08.480 –> 32:17.720] I think that might be thanks to getting over the COVID pandemic stuff, or a lot of that. [32:17.720 –> 32:25.440] By this point people have adjusted or whatever, that’s just a thought maybe, I have no actual [32:25.440 –> 32:27.520] evidence of that. [32:27.520 –> 32:32.680] But that is a lot of games though, I’m on the show every now and then, I don’t know [32:32.680 –> 32:33.720] some of these games. [32:33.720 –> 32:36.960] What is Smooshy? [32:36.960 –> 32:37.960] What is Smooshy? [32:37.960 –> 32:39.720] What is before the green moon? [32:39.720 –> 32:40.720] What are these? [32:40.720 –> 32:45.480] Smooshy Come Home is the one where you’re a wee toadstool or mushroom type thing, and [32:45.480 –> 32:50.080] you’re running around delivering mail and doing tasks and stuff like that. [32:50.080 –> 32:51.080] What? [32:51.080 –> 32:53.560] I don’t remember this, this is an adorable mushroom guy! [32:53.560 –> 32:55.600] Yeah, it came out like two weeks ago. [32:55.600 –> 32:57.200] It’s on Switch, what? [32:57.200 –> 33:00.640] It was a shadow drop for the Wholesome Direct. [33:00.640 –> 33:01.640] What? [33:01.640 –> 33:07.280] I’m going to look at this, that’s an adorable mushroom man guy thing. [33:07.280 –> 33:13.600] Okay, that’s new, oh wow, that’s new to me. [33:13.600 –> 33:18.280] So there are, so I just counted, so in 2019 there were 14 games that I’ve tracked that [33:18.280 –> 33:19.280] came out. [33:19.280 –> 33:23.000] In 2020 there were 10 games that came out, makes sense, in 2020. [33:23.000 –> 33:26.560] In 2021 there were 16 games that came out. [33:26.560 –> 33:31.400] So far this year, that was 19 games. [33:31.400 –> 33:38.240] Wow, that’s a lot. [33:38.240 –> 33:49.080] So Kevin, maybe I should go first, so I don’t think I’ve played any of these games at all. [33:49.080 –> 33:54.760] I legitimately don’t think I’ve played any of these games, which is really kind of a [33:54.760 –> 34:00.040] little bit embarrassing to say, and also quite a little bit shocking that I’ve not played [34:00.040 –> 34:02.520] a single game that’s come out this year so far. [34:02.520 –> 34:06.720] We’re halfway through the year and I’ve not played a single 2023 game! [34:06.720 –> 34:12.720] Well I think it’s two things, one, well a few things, one, there’s a lot of games in [34:12.720 –> 34:21.040] general, slash life in general, you can’t blame anyone for that, but two, it’s not like [34:21.040 –> 34:24.680] this show’s not covering anything, we’re still trying to catch up from older stuff [34:24.680 –> 34:25.680] right? [34:25.680 –> 34:27.080] There’s a lot! [34:27.080 –> 34:31.640] I was looking through the list of episodes that I’ve been on, and the game ones are all [34:31.640 –> 34:36.320] games that came out at the end of last year basically. [34:36.320 –> 34:45.340] And three, I don’t know the statistics, but we’ve got a lot of people on the team now [34:45.340 –> 34:49.240] for this show, so it’s been splitting up more. [34:49.240 –> 34:52.920] Some of the games that have been played that come out this year were played by other people [34:52.920 –> 34:53.920] that weren’t you. [34:53.960 –> 34:56.280] Yes that is true, the podcast has covered them. [34:56.280 –> 35:01.360] But also, also, all of the games I was most looking forward to aren’t out yet, right? [35:01.360 –> 35:06.600] So we’ve got Vanecco’s Night Market, which isn’t out yet, we’ve got Snacko, which isn’t [35:06.600 –> 35:10.120] out yet, we’ve got, what else was there? [35:10.120 –> 35:12.120] Winds of Anthos, Palaeopines. [35:12.120 –> 35:16.560] I wouldn’t say the Winds of Anthos is what I’m most excited about, but yeah, of course [35:16.560 –> 35:20.280] A Wonderful Life was the third one that I put in that episode of the ones I’m most [35:20.280 –> 35:21.280] excit

The Growing Anticipation: A Silent Hope by Pastor Josh Robinson. Recorded December 4, 2022.

This morning we listen to the story of God in the midst of years upon years of silence. Then finally the Word becomes flesh and gives hope. And a weary world rejoices! Join us as we begin our advent series this day.

When Zachariah was unable to speak before the birth of John the Baptist, it was a punishment for his lack of faith, right? Well, maybe not. In this Advent season kick-off, Pastor Jack takes a fresh look at this story. This message is sure to bring hope and expectation for the season to come and beyond!

 Revelation ch. 7 was a break as the writer John pauses talking about Jesus breaking the 7 seals of the scroll to talk about his vision of the Great Commission being fulfilled. But now the break is over, as John picks up where things left off at ch. 6. With the opening of the 6th seal, more judgement is released, leading to the final seal, which does not complete God's judgement but leads to a 7th seal. But when we read the 7th seal being opened in Rev. 8:1, John says all of heaven became quiet — one of the most powerful scenes in the Bible! Chapter 8 begins in silence and ends with the unleashing of the 7 trumpet judgements. Let's find out what happens!
