In this new episode of “bauhaus faces” we talk about Hannes Meyer, the second Bauhaus director. PART 1 concentrates on Hannes Meyer's formative years and his involvement in cooperativism and collectivism, his first steps as architect and artist, and then on to his pivotal role at the Bauhaus in Dessau. What was new when he became second director of the Bauhaus? And why did he have to leave the Bauhaus all at once after two successful years? The US-American art-historian Dara Kiese, who wrote her PhD thesis about Hannes Meyer's holistic education at the Bauhaus, and former Senator for Culture in Berlin and art-historian Thomas Flierl help tell the story of Hannes Meyer in this 1st part. The Meyer era of the Bauhaus ended in summer of 1930 when he is dismissed by the Dessau magistrate in absence from the school. The political tensions between the far left and the far right now became palpable. A communist cell had emerged at the Bauhaus, for which Meyer was blamed responsible. His peak in Germany was now beginning to decline and Meyer decided that it was time to try and establish himself in the Soviet Union – in a country from which he expected freedom of thought and a fulfilment of his architectural visions. Little did he know … PART 2 will launch at the beginning of June featuring Russian art-historian and artist Tatiana Efrussi and Mexican art-historian Raquel Franklin, who both wrote their PhD theses about Hannes Meyer's work in the Soviet Union (1930–36) and Mexico (1938–49) respectively. So, don't forget to listen to that part, too! Let's now dive into a the first part of this new episode of “bauhaus faces” and shine a light on Hannes Meyer.

Michael Rababy documents US American gambling culture in his new book, Casinoland - Tired of Winning. Rows of shrill slot machines, glowing billboards, and gaudy splendor appear alongside exhausted faces, tired looks, and lost games. Rababy's realistic camera view scrutinizes the glamorous appearance of the gleaming gambling halls and exposes their mendacious promises of wealth. The series focuses more on the casino as a capitalist institution as a whole than on the individual gamblers. Michael Rababy is a Lebanese-American documentary photographer who frequently deals with US American culture and society in his work. He works as a freelance photographer and has photographed for numerous media companies.

In this episode, Dr. Sidra Lawrence, Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology and Director of the Afro-Caribbean Ensemble at BGSU, together with several members of BGSU's Afro-Caribbean Ensemble, share their experiences playing African and African diasporic music for an American audience. Both Sidra and the ensemble underline the complexity and sophistication of African and African diasporic music, arguing that it deserves as much study and attention as Western art music. The clips from their recordings included in this episode demonstrate the bandwidth of African music. As Sidra, Clayton and Téo eloquently argue, rethinking the African and Afro Diasporic music repertoire allows us to see its key contributions to US American and world culture, not as folklore, influence or inspiration, but as one of its main driving forces. Not surprisingly, the students who are part of the ensemble share how playing this repertoire has challenged them to improvise and explore and has furthered their training as musicians.
On JD Vance, Hillbilly Elegy, and arresting decline. [For the full episode: patreon.com/bungacast] We discuss the Netflix adaptation of vice-presidential nominee JD Vance's memoir – and the memoir itself – and what it tells us about the direction of US politics, Trump, and MAGA. We ask: What is Ryan's own anti-hillbilly elegy, drawn from his experience in Central Illinois? How far does the character in the film correspond with Vance's public persona today? How do we account for Vance's political pivot – at least in rhetoric – from “lift yourself up by your bootstraps” meritocracy to pro-labour nationalism? What will happen to rural/small-town US American life? Plus: Is reading books gay? Is a "hillbilly" just Hillary + Bill? And what is a horseshoe sandwich?

This show aired on Mother's Day today in Australia and our discussion covers heavy topics such as violence, death and the genocide in Palestine. We recognise that trauma is widespread and that many listeners may have experienced traumatic events in their lives, and so mention these topics up front. Mother's Day:We discuss issues of speciesism around animal mothers and talk about the story of Clarabelle the cow and her baby Valentine who are living together at Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary. https://edgarsmission.org.au/animal/clarabelle-and-valentine/Video story https://vimeo.com/415803158 Families for Palestine on Instagram carousel Honouring Palestinian Mothers https://www.instagram.com/familiesforpalestine/ 269 Liberation Animale: aims to raise awareness about the animal cause and to inform people about the non-necessity of living animals. It works to take into account the fundamental interests of sentient beings: the right to life, to liberty, to dignity. She is anti-speciesist and abolitionist, and organises street theater based on the reality of what humans do to other animals. Benefit compilation for (by Total Liberation Records) for 269 Liberation Animale, an activist collective targeting speciesist industries by blockading slaughterhouses, freeing animals and sabotaging places. We spoke about APEX Advocacy, an organisation founded by Christopher ‘Soul' Eubanks focused on building a community of BIPOC animal rights advocates by empowering their activism and providing resources and support. APEX aims to increase the number of BIPOC individuals who participate in animal activism by advocating for collective liberation through animal rights, particularly in marginalized areas and communities that are disproportionately affected by the animal industrial complex.In order to effectively eradicate animal industries, we maintain that the grassroots animal advocacy movement must actively welcome and amplify BIPOC voices, build bridges with other movements and communities, and recognize the interconnectedness between various systems of oppression.We spoke about the recent blog published by APEX Advocacy called Complicity & Selective Compassion: Making Sense of the Animal Rights Movement's Silence on the Palestinian GenocideIn their blog, APEX Advocacy made a really impactful and important statement directed at the animal rights movement denouncing its acquiescence to genocide, its capitulation to the imperial donor class, and it's selective ‘compassion' which excludes Palestinians - an exclusion rooted in anti-blackness and white supremacy. Mutual Aid:Plant the Land Team Gaza is a vegan food justice and community projects volunteer team based in Gaza, co-founded by Anas Arafat, a Gazan humanitarian aid activist, and Laura Schleifer, a USAmerican vegan, Free Palestine solidarity activist and Total Liberation Campaign Director at the Institute for Critical Animal Studies.

The song's title was inspired by Hind Rajab — the six-year-old Palestinian girl killed by the Israeli military — and the name pro-Palestine student protesters at Columbia University gave to a building on their campus, Hamilton Hall, as they waved Palestine's flag up high before the police attacked them.

Earth Day 2024 was this past Monday April 22nd! In honor of our one and only Earth, Dean brings Tom (and us) along with him on his recent excursion to Antarctica in this episode, where he walked among thousands of non-tap-dancing penguins and giant calving glaciers on the warmest day ever recorded there to-date. Specifically, Dean details his conversations on his Antarctic journey with global climate leader Christiana Figueres on how cultural “DNA” underlies the US-American case, the Asian case, and the Latin American case for addressing climate change. As Dean writes in his July 2023 Substack article about this: “To ignore culture's role in how we advocate for climate and the environment ensures a protracted struggle, even with all the best science, and the best negotiations. However, when we understand culture, and leverage that understanding in the strategic service of global goals, like climate, we accelerate the success we need to have. When it comes to climate, in the limited time we have left, we cannot afford to overlook or ignore the cultural advantage.” ***Subscribe to Dean's Substack here to read the whole July 2023 article titled “Climate & Culture”, plus check out Dean's “Culture's Consequences” articles, CultureQuizzes, and much much more!*** Have a cultural question or episode idea?

Whether it is your own experience, or that of someone you know, the dismissal of symptoms, minimization of pain, failure to diagnose or incorrect diagnoses, and other medical oversight have caused often irreparable physical issues, and prolonged pain and symptoms, in the gynecological world. The high incidents and often life-long impact of medical care, absent of patient autonomy, remains prevalent with respect to gynecological disorders, and continues to impact more lives, every day. How do we raise awareness of these realities, experienced by so many? How do we further educate ourselves, and hold the field of gynecology accountable, while inviting respect for patient autonomy, and compassionate care? Joining us today, is Rachael Jablo, creator of The Hysteria Project. Rachael is a chronically ill, queer, Jewish, Berlin-based US-American artist who works with photography, installation, collage and occasionally performance. Through The Hysteria Project, Rachael honors and visual recognizes the personal narratives of those living with and who have experienced gynecological disorders. Tune in live, to learn more about her powerful work, and what you can do today to learn more about these real life matters.

Between 2000 and 2010, many contemporary US-American women writers were returning to the private space of the kitchen, writing about their experiences in that space and then publishing their memoirs for the larger public to consume. Season to Taste: Rewriting Kitchen Space in Contemporary Women's Food Memoirs (U Mississippi Press, 2023) explores women's food memoirs with recipes in order to consider the ways in which these women are rewriting this kitchen space and renegotiating their relationships with food. Caroline J. Smith begins the book with a historical overview of how the space of the kitchen, and the expectations of women associated with it, have shifted considerably since the 1960s. Better Homes and Gardens, as well as the discourse of the second-wave feminist movement, tended to depict the space as a place of imprisonment. The contemporary popular writers examined in Season to Taste, such as Ruth Reichl, Kim Sunée, Jocelyn Delk Adams, Julie Powell, and Molly Wizenberg, respond to this characterization by instead presenting the kitchen as a place of transformation. In their memoirs and recipes, these authors reinterpret their roles within the private sphere of the home as well as the public sphere of the world of publishing (whether print or digital publication). The authors examined here explode the divide of private/feminine and public/masculine in both content and form and complicate the genres of recipe writing, diary writing, and memoir. These women writers, through the act of preparing and consuming food, encourage readers to reconsider the changing gender politics of the kitchen.

Better Homes and Gardens, as well as the discourse of the second-wave feminist movement, tended to depict the space as a place of imprisonment. The contemporary popular writers examined in Season to Taste, such as Ruth Reichl, Kim Sunée, Jocelyn Delk Adams, Julie Powell, and Molly Wizenberg, respond to this characterization by instead presenting the kitchen as a place of transformation. In their memoirs and recipes, these authors reinterpret their roles within the private sphere of the home as well as the public sphere of the world of publishing (whether print or digital publication). The authors examined here explode the divide of private/feminine and public/masculine in both content and form and complicate the genres of recipe writing, diary writing, and memoir. These women writers, through the act of preparing and consuming food, encourage readers to reconsider the changing gender politics of the kitchen.

Between 2000 and 2010, many contemporary US-American women writers were returning to the private space of the kitchen, writing about their experiences in that space and then publishing their memoirs for the larger public to consume.

Women's US Soccer Match HEADLINE: US loses to Sweden on penalty kicks in its earliest Women's World Cup exit ever by Anne M Peterson It was the fourth time the Americans went to extra time at the World Cup. All three previous matches went to penalties, including the 2011 final won by Japan. The U.S. won on penalties in a 2011 quarterfinal match against Brazil, and in the 1999 final at the Rose Bowl against China. The US American women took a knee, most of them when the National Anthem was played. How dare we not Donald Trump took to Truth Social Media - The “shocking and totally unexpected” loss but the US Women's Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden. Many of our players were openly hostile to America - No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close. Woke equals failure. Nice shot Megan, the USA is going to Hell! MAGA
Roger Hearing is joined by Steven Bertoni in New York and Karen Lema in Manila to look at the big business and financial stories of the day. Global grain prices have had a challenging day after Russian attacks on a Ukrainian port on the Danube river reportedly damaged tens of thousands of tonnes of supplies. Roger speaks to Marcelo Elizondo, Chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce in Argentina to discuss whether smaller exporters like Brazil and Argentina could step up to fill the gap. Plus how is Canada reacting after Facebook and Google blocked their Canadian news feeds; government plans to tackle immigration in Chile and the US-American plan to build a new International Space Station.
Whether it is your own experience, or that of someone you know, the dismissal of symptoms, minimization of pain, failure to diagnose or incorrect diagnoses, and other medical oversight have caused often irreparable physical issues, and prolonged pain and symptoms, in the gynecological world. The high incidents and often life-long impact of medical care, absent of patient autonomy, remains prevalent with respect to gynecological disorders, and continues to impact more lives, every day. How do we raise awareness of these realities, experienced by so many? How do we further educate ourselves, and hold the field of gynecology accountable, while inviting respect for patient autonomy, and compassionate care? Joining us today, is Rachael Jablo, creator of The Hysteria Project. Rachael is a chronically ill, queer, Jewish, Berlin-based US-American artist who works with photography, installation, collage and occasionally performance. Through The Hysteria Project, Rachael honors and visual recognizes the personal narratives of those living with and who have experienced gynecological disorders. Tune in live, to learn more about her powerful work, and what you can do today to learn more about these real life matters.
Recorded before a live audience at the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning, this episode kicks off Season 5 of the podcast and starts a discussion about the many sociocultural aspects of multiculturalism. In this episode, I speak with Kyle Akins, the son of a US-American diplomat and a Japanese mother. Kyle has already lived in 8 countries around the world, although he is only 19 years old. The interview looks at how Kyle views his international upbringing, hones in on his social and individual development in this multicultural context, and explores his personal experiences in the various countries. cultureum.com @cultureumdrj Linkedin: Dr. Henriette J.

With Jeff on vacation, Phil flies solo and welcomes back Gene Luen Yang, author of AMERICAN BORN CHINESE, and actor Ben Wang, who stars as Jin Wang in the Disney+ series adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel. They talk about some of the tricky considerations when it came to bringing this beloved book to life, how they updated the story for contemporary television (and contemporary Asian America), and how toy robots and Panda Express can bring people together.
This weekend we continue in our series called "CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE". In this series we are studying the first letter to the church in Corinth. This letter addresses many of the issues we face in our US American culture. Like the Corinthians we are affluent and driven and so have some of the same struggles they had. This week we will learn about the view we should have towards spiritual leaders. God uses leaders to help us grow in Him. They are limited and the view we should have of them is presented in this week's message. We have a tendency to get attached to spiritual leaders in a way that causes divisions. Of course this error is one that we are prone to in our culture as well. When a pastor leaves a church many of the people leave after he does. When talking at Bible studies a person brings up their preference for the former pastor over the present one. We tend to build loyalties around spiritual leaders. This is a mistake due to immaturity. This week we will learn how to grow past this immature tendency to attach, in the wrong way, to our spiritual leaders. We need to allow spiritual leaders to help us attach to Jesus. He is the one we must be following. Just like when we are young we look to our parents for everything we can grow very dependent on our spiritual leaders. We must make sure we are growing in our dependence on Jesus. They will not always be there and so we can fall away if God moves them somewhere else. Leaders can sometimes encourage this out of a need to be needed. We must grow and mature remembering that we are all following Jesus. Join us this week to gain the proper perspective of the spiritual leaders that God puts in our lives. For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more http://bible.com/events/49058583

Kal Alston and Nick Burbules join Cara and Derek to talk about where the field of philosophy of education has been and where it is going, particularly in a US-American context. And fear not: We cover everyone's favorite question -- how do we know who a philosopher of education is, especially as the number of academic appointments with those words in the job title continues to dwindle?

I’m back, and I’m surprised that I keep getting invited back [01:16.000 –> 01:18.960] But we’ll do my best to not get invited back after this one [01:19.560 –> 01:26.460] I’m surprised. I’m still here for so many episodes. I think it’s just what is it beggars can’t be choosers [01:31.000 –> 01:32.160] But [01:32.160 –> 01:35.200] Yes, we are here, and we’re here to talk about terranil today [01:35.840 –> 01:38.200] and important to note up front that [01:39.040 –> 01:43.080] Transcriptions are available in the show notes and on the website [01:44.760 –> 01:48.960] But it would help if I actually knew the website off the top of my head harvestseason.club [01:50.800 –> 01:53.840] So if you’re after transcripts, there’s awesome little [01:54.720 –> 01:57.560] accessibility piece that Al’s added to the show so [01:58.360 –> 02:06.140] Great go and check those out the question is will they’ll be able to transcribe this nonsense that remains to be seen [02:08.760 –> 02:13.240] All right all right Johnny what it what have you been up to what have I been up to well like [02:13.400 –> 02:15.800] Kevin it’s you and I we’ve got to talk a little Marvel snap [02:17.320 –> 02:19.320] We’ve been on so many episodes [02:19.880 –> 02:26.760] We always talk about Marvel snap, but last season. I hit infinite. I am I am a problem. I love Shuri [02:27.600 –> 02:34.440] Infinite with Shuri. I’m gonna play her until she’s if they put in a small nerf yesterday. Let me tell you that’s not enough [02:34.440 –> 02:38.180] I’m playing Shuri. She’s she’s so good. She’s so good [02:38.960 –> 02:41.120] But I love Marvel snap at the moment [02:41.240 –> 02:46.280] And I think honestly if you Marvel snap is a game that you’re kind of on the fence about you’ve played some games before [02:46.680 –> 02:49.080] now it’s the time to get in like I feel like the [02:50.000 –> 02:56.900] monetization aside right monetization in these games is always terrible just put that out of your mind, but the the latest [02:57.600 –> 03:03.720] Developer update it was really clear communication about what they’re looking to do with the meta game for Marvel snap [03:03.840 –> 03:11.120] And we’re talking about making small changes week on week like which is what I’m excited about because I like to win when I play [03:11.120 –> 03:17.320] This game, so I’ll play the best deck and if the best deck is current is constantly changing then that’s kind of exciting for me [03:17.320 –> 03:20.040] So I’ve been snapping up a storm [03:20.600 –> 03:26.720] Can you be playing any any models now? Oh gosh. Yes the boy. This is number one. This is the real podcast here [03:28.080 –> 03:34.600] Okay, so let me let me slow down for one second first off for people unfamiliar for infinite. That’s like the top rank [03:35.680 –> 03:39.020] Johnny is now legend among our little snap friends [03:39.880 –> 03:42.180] Incredible absolutely incredible hats off to you good, sir [03:43.780 –> 03:51.180] Second of all the meta game the balance has really been in flux the last couple weeks. It feels like [03:52.320 –> 03:55.880] With a lot of the top decks being dethroned except Shuri Johnny’s deck [03:56.800 –> 04:00.800] And yeah the update they well to your point [04:00.800 –> 04:06.480] I think in general they’ve the dev team is really good at communicating in Marvel snap their little blog updates [04:06.480 –> 04:08.480] I was very clear and to the point [04:08.720 –> 04:10.000] and [04:10.000 –> 04:15.820] They address fan stuff or stuff that the community is talking about frequently, so that’s good [04:17.560 –> 04:24.360] So I am I have been playing Thanos after finally saving enough the little tokens for him [04:25.360 –> 04:28.520] I’m having a lot of fun. Thanos deck is [04:29.760 –> 04:31.760] really flexible and interesting [04:33.000 –> 04:39.380] Yeah, it’s not the beast it was before the nerf, but it’s still fun to play I [04:40.400 –> 04:44.800] Pretty good, and it’s it’s interesting now with some hitch monkey in the field as well [04:44.800 –> 04:49.240] Yeah, and how much that sort of disrupted things which I don’t think I predicted [04:49.800 –> 04:55.800] Most things I didn’t understand the interaction that I had with Mysterio which makes it pretty dang awesome [04:55.800 –> 05:00.120] Yeah, like this you know if Shuri just gets that knock down a little bit [05:00.120 –> 05:04.520] I feel like we’re in for a really fun time in Marvel snap. Yeah, I totally agree and [05:05.560 –> 05:11.240] I think there will probably some fun cards being added. I can’t wait for Kitty to come back [05:12.640 –> 05:16.360] Because I think she has a lot of interesting options including with hip monkey [05:17.360 –> 05:21.320] But yeah Marvel snap good times, I’m nowhere near as high as in [05:22.480 –> 05:23.800] but [05:23.800 –> 05:27.000] I am enjoying the game a lot nonetheless [05:28.200 –> 05:29.840] did [05:29.840 –> 05:33.640] Did you see the the variants in the shop today? They’re really good [05:37.560 –> 05:42.760] So they released three variants in this month is all sort of animal themed and so they’re all good puns [05:43.000 –> 05:47.980] And and I think the one that takes the cake is ant ant instead of ant man [05:49.560 –> 05:52.760] variant of ant man, that’s just an ant which was just [05:54.880 –> 06:01.560] It’s so dumb that it’s genius and it’s almost got me enough to buy it cuz like that [06:01.560 –> 06:07.060] They’re all cool variants. It’s only five bucks. That’s like the cheapest thing they’ve ever had in the game [06:08.280 –> 06:11.000] But I don’t play any of these cards enough to actually [06:13.040 –> 06:17.120] Actually justify buying variants for it. Yeah, I’m getting it for sure [06:17.120 –> 06:22.080] Um, yeah ant ant is great the strength and ant with the strength and the size of an ant [06:25.080 –> 06:29.520] Mooster fantastic is probably the best. Mr. Fantastic ever will be [06:30.240 –> 06:37.440] And it was a third all like cat cat. I don’t even captain me our they did it kept they did captain America [06:37.440 –> 06:41.160] Which I was like, I feel like of all of the ways to do that pun [06:42.160 –> 06:47.920] Captain America, I feel like cat tan America was the way to go [06:47.920 –> 06:52.100] But I like captain. I’m yeah worker. But yeah, no, yeah like [06:52.620 –> 06:56.560] Agree, that’s that’s good. They kind of picked the worst of all the available. Yeah [06:57.400 –> 06:59.920] That’s probably that’s probably enough of our [07:00.440 –> 07:06.920] Bible snapcast join us again in a few weeks when Kevin I find some other game that you know can be an inroad for us [07:06.920 –> 07:12.680] To secretly talk about Marvel’s net of the game that I’ve been playing which I don’t really want to admit to but I have been [07:12.680 –> 07:16.200] Playing it. I started playing runescape again and like [07:21.800 –> 07:29.320] It’s so bad it’s been my like so I played old-school runescape before it was called old-school runescape when it was called runescape. Um, I [07:30.680 –> 07:36.620] I you know eventually lost that account when they took the transition to old-school runescape at some point [07:36.620 –> 07:41.780] I started again and every few years I check in again and I make some more progress. I’m like [07:42.980 –> 07:44.980] I’m in the hole. Yeah [07:45.260 –> 07:47.260] That’s a farming game [07:48.420 –> 07:50.420] It is a farming game [07:50.600 –> 07:54.060] It’s not a good farming game. It’s not even a good game. Oh [07:55.380 –> 08:02.660] Oh man, that’s what I’m playing it. That’s classic the baby’s first MMO like the world’s first [08:04.540 –> 08:06.540] Your internet whatever [08:06.620 –> 08:10.300] Man, that’s a blast from the past. That’s all man. Good stuff [08:10.940 –> 08:12.060] It is [08:12.060 –> 08:14.620] the best thing about that game is the writing is like [08:15.560 –> 08:18.220] surprisingly good, um, mostly because it’s all like [08:19.160 –> 08:21.580] Basically just people trying to meme the whole time [08:23.340 –> 08:29.180] And and for people that aren’t up to date on on old-school runescape, they’re currently like pitching doing a new skill [08:29.260 –> 08:33.340] so like the game still gets tons of updates, which is just wild to me that in like [08:34.220 –> 08:41.500] 2023 runescape is still getting like content updates. I didn’t know that. Oh, man. Oh, I’m gonna have to check it out [08:41.780 –> 08:49.380] Please check it out. Let’s we’ll become runescape friends and wallow in the misery that is like doing anything in runescape [08:50.980 –> 08:54.660] Anyway, I don’t want to let’s not link on that any longer. What have you been playing? [08:55.180 –> 08:58.600] Turn in next week for the new runescape runescape cast [08:59.620 –> 09:01.140] I [09:01.180 –> 09:06.820] Have okay marvel snaps the big one. Um, I played this game they called terranil [09:08.820 –> 09:10.820] This sunk some time into that and [09:13.060 –> 09:18.700] Aside from that my whole world has been consumed until about two days ago [09:19.940 –> 09:21.100] wildflowers [09:21.100 –> 09:24.020] That game is good. Holy moly [09:24.860 –> 09:31.460] Um, so last week’s episode was about wildflowers, I haven’t seen anything yet [09:32.100 –> 09:37.380] Nothing. Oh, man. We are a full disclosure. We’re already planning a follow-up episode because [09:38.020 –> 09:43.620] Holy moly, that game is incredible and has all sorts of stuff till the very end [09:44.920 –> 09:47.580] mechanics wise it uh, it’s [09:48.300 –> 09:52.480] Wow might be one of the best in this genre in my opinion [09:53.480 –> 09:57.360] Okay, I’m going to talk about one mechanic here it’s not a spoiler but [09:57.960 –> 10:04.240] We didn’t address it in the first episode because neither of us reached it yet. But so there’s these machines called whirligigs [10:04.240 –> 10:11.320] They’re like little flying robot drones, but with like faces the little happy face robots. And what they do is they’ll do they [10:12.120 –> 10:17.120] Automate your farming tasks and I mean like everything there’s a one for fishing mining [10:17.720 –> 10:19.440] farming [10:19.440 –> 10:21.440] livestock chopping wood [10:22.160 –> 10:28.640] So you give it some resources and it’ll go and do that stuff for X amount of days and just give you a whole bunch [10:28.640 –> 10:30.640] Of stuff it’s an incredible [10:30.960 –> 10:32.760] incredible mechanic [10:32.760 –> 10:35.280] That really let you automate whatever you want to do [10:37.760 –> 10:44.000] And aside from that like we mentioned last week this game actually has story and [10:45.360 –> 10:51.040] It’s not like Pulitzer Prize winning story, but it’s really engaging [10:51.560 –> 10:55.960] And holy mackerel like that the story went places. I didn’t imagine [10:57.040 –> 11:01.200] It’s and it’s just such a good game. I can’t recommend it enough [11:02.360 –> 11:08.780] And yeah, like I said, we’ll actually be doing another episode. So I will save more thoughts for them. But wildflowers is just really a plus [11:10.360 –> 11:14.040] I listened to that episode this week and I’m really like [11:14.800 –> 11:19.340] I’ve been on a little bit of statue kick the last few months like sort of off and on [11:20.340 –> 11:21.740] And [11:21.740 –> 11:24.780] I have to say like wildflowers was kind of one of those games [11:24.780 –> 11:29.080] I put into the start to valley clone esque style camp and I was like, yeah [11:29.080 –> 11:33.340] I probably won’t check it out and after listening to the the episode from from two weeks ago [11:33.340 –> 11:37.980] It’s definitely like hmm. I really want to check this out now. You should like I [11:39.140 –> 11:46.860] also put it in stardew clone and yeah, I mean it’s hard to say that because it’s like in the farming genre so like clearly [11:46.980 –> 11:48.380] You know with [11:48.380 –> 11:50.740] Stardew is always gonna be in the room and people are gonna look at it [11:50.740 –> 11:54.220] But it’s I think it stands enough to be its own thing [11:54.740 –> 12:02.120] So I like hardly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed stardew. Oh, yeah good stuff. Um, but aside from that [12:03.180 –> 12:06.460] But well, actually no, that’s that’s kind of it Marvel snap. Um [12:07.580 –> 12:11.940] Wildflowers Terran L. That’s that’s pretty much would have been up to it’s been very busy week for me [12:11.940 –> 12:13.940] otherwise I say as I [12:14.180 –> 12:16.180] Didn’t see like a hundred hours [12:17.220 –> 12:21.040] Wildflower, I just want to like do like a mini chicken on you know [12:21.040 –> 12:23.800] sort of games of the year because I know [12:24.260 –> 12:27.340] At the start of the year when I was on the episode about games for 2023 [12:27.340 –> 12:32.380] I was a little bit down on games for this year and I feel like the last few weeks, you know with the the wild flies [12:33.020 –> 12:35.020] wildflowers coverage and the [12:36.220 –> 12:38.060] research story coverage from last week [12:38.060 –> 12:38.700] like [12:38.700 –> 12:45.140] Those are two games that I am really excited to get into and to play like I wonder if this is actually the year [12:45.140 –> 12:52.020] We’ve got a bunch of games that look like stardew valley clones and then you start really getting into them and you’re like hmm [12:52.300 –> 12:54.420] Turns out there’s something more going on here [12:54.420 –> 12:59.380] It turns out that there’s some really good games that are coming out to see it like 2023 might be the year of the sleeper [12:59.380 –> 13:05.140] Hits like oh, I mean, yeah granted wallflowers last year, but I get your point. Um, and [13:05.780 –> 13:07.780] Yeah, I don’t know. There’s still [13:07.980 –> 13:09.980] Menechos night market and [13:10.500 –> 13:12.500] Mika [13:12.540 –> 13:15.140] Whatever delivery search what if I get what’s called [13:16.140 –> 13:20.700] No, this is a very strong year for our little corner of the internet. I fully agree and [13:21.660 –> 13:26.740] To totally ruin the segue that I had set up but like to kind of go with it [13:26.740 –> 13:33.260] There’s another game that’s coming out very soon that could potentially be a sleeper hit of the year with some roots of patcher [13:35.700 –> 13:40.820] Use the 1.0 release coming out on the 25th of [13:43.100 –> 13:50.100] April which is really exciting. So for those who don’t remember roots of patcher is stardew valley, but prehistoric [13:51.500 –> 13:57.580] So they’ve got the 1.0 coming out. It’s coming out on Steam for Windows and Mac, which is actually [13:59.300 –> 14:01.300] Exciting for me because the [14:01.940 –> 14:06.100] Computer that I have the most easy access to is is a Mac [14:06.820 –> 14:10.900] They sort of have indicated that it’s a 40 plus hour game [14:11.580 –> 14:17.620] Which when I sort of interpret that it kind of means it’s a finished game in the farming genre in the stardew esque [14:17.700 –> 14:21.340] Genre because you know once you’re in sort of 40 plus hour territory [14:22.220 –> 14:24.220] It could mean just about anything [14:25.340 –> 14:27.340] They’ve added more [14:27.560 –> 14:33.580] Character customization options which you know is is always good to see I’m not familiar with the current character [14:33.860 –> 14:35.860] customization options that they’ve had so far [14:36.620 –> 14:38.980] but probably the most important thing is [14:39.620 –> 14:41.340] 15 skin tones available [14:41.340 –> 14:46.860] So, you know like as a big fan of inclusion in video games and people be able to represent themselves [14:47.740 –> 14:49.300] accurately [14:49.300 –> 14:51.840] Seems like they’ve put in the work there, which is really [14:52.980 –> 14:55.940] Exciting. There’s there’s a bunch of other updates of things that I’ve included [14:55.940 –> 15:00.780] I’m assuming that if you’re you know paying attention to roots of patcher and you’ve been involved in some of their [15:02.660 –> 15:07.580] Pre 1.0 content and you’ll be all across this. Otherwise, I’m sure you’ll be excited to [15:08.300 –> 15:09.860] sort of [15:09.860 –> 15:11.620] Duck in and get into this [15:11.620 –> 15:17.740] I’m not gonna talk through everything that they’ve got coming up because there’s a ton of stuff but I have to say I [15:18.100 –> 15:22.820] Remember in the you know sort of episode for the year when we talked about roots of pasture [15:22.820 –> 15:26.940] I was I probably wasn’t that excited about it because it did look like [15:27.740 –> 15:32.140] Stardew but prehistoric but looking through some of the stuff that they’ve got for [15:32.860 –> 15:34.380] 1.0. Um [15:34.380 –> 15:37.380] I’m feeling the bug like I’m feeling the baby [15:37.380 –> 15:42.420] This is a game that I’m gonna gonna be buying come April 25th and get into like it’s just [15:42.940 –> 15:49.660] It’s taking a lot of my boxes. Like it looks really really good. I’m excited for this one. Oh, man, like I I [15:50.620 –> 15:56.860] I’ve been so excited. I also talked about it on like up games of the year, but like [15:57.820 –> 16:02.420] 2021 episode or whatever a year will you year before your episode? [16:04.260 –> 16:10.860] I’m very excited. I mean it still looks like a Stardew clone, but it has mammoth [16:10.860 –> 16:15.600] So that’s like already enough for me. Um, I haven’t paid attention really to [16:16.380 –> 16:21.540] What’s been going on? Cuz uh, I’m as I’m in fist infamously known. I’m not very [16:22.140 –> 16:27.920] Keen on betas and early access and all that. So but who cares it’s coming out in a few weeks [16:28.620 –> 16:34.900] And I’m very excited to play it and maybe talk about it somewhere someplace. Who knows? [16:36.380 –> 16:38.380] Roots of Pacha good stuff [16:40.340 –> 16:42.340] One day [16:43.620 –> 16:44.940] That oh [16:44.940 –> 16:50.820] Man, that’s yeah, that’s very excited. I’m and I took a tiny peek through some of this stuff [16:50.820 –> 16:52.820] It looks like it’s really coming to its own [16:53.180 –> 16:56.820] 40 hours is really good. That’s that’s pretty significant [16:56.820 –> 17:01.820] I think for this corner of the internet or at least the indie stuff [17:03.180 –> 17:04.660] So good on that [17:04.660 –> 17:06.180] particularly to be like [17:06.180 –> 17:10.040] advertising 40 plus hours, right because I think it’s one of those things with you know, like [17:10.260 –> 17:14.260] Mm-hmm farming games where they run through the seasons. They naturally take a lot of time [17:14.260 –> 17:20.020] Yeah, but it’s very easy to bounce off these games before you even hit the end of you know spring [17:20.020 –> 17:25.220] And I don’t I don’t know if it’s a touch as his seasons like other games [17:25.220 –> 17:27.980] But it’s very easy to bounce off these games early [17:27.980 –> 17:32.660] so I feel like it’s kind of a bold move to put out you’ve got 40 plus hours of with the content because I like [17:33.180 –> 17:38.660] Your experience with what flowers is it implies is actually a story or something that you want to pull it through [17:38.660 –> 17:45.220] I’ve never seen start your valley be like we’ve got X many hours with content because and there’s not really a story to [17:45.740 –> 17:49.820] Start your belly. Yeah, you know, it’s kind of just play until you’re bored and then yeah [17:50.820 –> 17:52.820] Yeah, that is an interesting thing [17:53.100 –> 17:59.900] because yeah, I agree like 40 plus hours denotes some sort of end goal and and [18:00.740 –> 18:07.660] You know, like I said, maybe story or linear track some sort of objectives to hit that 40 plus hour mark, right? [18:08.100 –> 18:12.060] So it’ll be very interesting to see especially in this setting that could mean [18:12.640 –> 18:15.940] Something very different from what we’re used to so I’m very excited [18:16.940 –> 18:23.180] You know, what else is a 40-plus hour game and that’s without the billions of side quests [18:24.820 –> 18:28.820] Like this game it’s getting an update so I can like it more [18:31.300 –> 18:33.300] So, yeah wildflowers has been [18:34.020 –> 18:35.660] working on [18:35.660 –> 18:37.660] updates consistently and [18:37.940 –> 18:43.940] They’re just now releasing or announced the fabulous farming update [18:43.940 –> 18:49.760] Um, we can get oh my gosh, so they’re adding a whole bunch of farming upgrades [18:50.380 –> 18:52.700] You can get pigs you can get [18:53.340 –> 18:56.660] based off the little Twitter pic looks like ducks [18:57.880 –> 18:59.880] llamas and a [19:00.020 –> 19:02.700] magical flying pig with fairy wings somehow [19:04.660 –> 19:06.660] I’m excited for that [19:07.020 –> 19:09.020] And we’re also getting other [19:09.320 –> 19:10.560] updated farm buildings [19:10.560 –> 19:15.320] I don’t know what that means. But uh, I went through the patch history of [19:16.120 –> 19:23.000] Wild wildflowers when I started playing and the updates are pretty significant usually so I’m very very excited to [19:23.480 –> 19:29.880] See what this is and most importantly I think this will be the first time I’ll be farming pigs that actually fly [19:30.440 –> 19:32.440] So, you know, they can’t wait for that [19:33.680 –> 19:38.520] It looks pretty cool on the llama. It could also be an alpaca. Oh, yeah [19:39.420 –> 19:44.640] Alpaca farming is a real thing. Yeah, I may know someone that owns an alpaca farm [19:44.640 –> 19:47.920] that’s my weird bit of trivia to add to the wildflowers update, but [19:48.920 –> 19:52.280] Other than I like the name fabulous farming updates like yeah [19:53.760 –> 19:57.800] Okay, that’s yeah, this is really exciting because the farming [19:59.200 –> 20:05.300] Not that it’s lacking but there’s definitely room to grow in wildflowers and well here we are. There’s the room to grow [20:06.260 –> 20:11.860] That’s yeah, so look forward to the wildflowers update coming wait, do we have a day? [20:11.860 –> 20:17.420] I don’t think we have a date. No, just oh wait. No, I feel 26. I lied 28th. I can’t see. Okay [20:18.260 –> 20:23.660] Yeah, April 28th. That’s that’s oh no. Oh, no, I’m gonna be torn between roots of patch [20:26.700 –> 20:30.020] I have two hands. I can do two controller [20:32.460 –> 20:34.460] Good luck with good luck with that [20:35.020 –> 20:40.020] And kind of while we’re talking about games that you know certain people on the show might be well known for [20:40.160 –> 20:43.500] Disney dreamlike Valley is also getting an update [20:44.420 –> 20:51.280] And this is I guess is sort of you know, they’ve been pretty consistent at putting out updates. This is the biggest one [20:52.420 –> 20:59.200] To date it’s the pride of the valley update adds a Lion King realm where you can get Simba or Noah [21:00.340 –> 21:03.940] Which is pretty much exciting for anybody with a pulse [21:05.380 –> 21:09.240] Add some some some twitch integration, which is really exciting to see [21:09.740 –> 21:17.140] As yeah, I don’t I don’t really understand it says twitch drops and like I’m not really a twitch person. So [21:17.900 –> 21:25.180] I don’t really understand what well, I mean, it’s the sort of game where drops will make sense, right? [21:25.180 –> 21:31.540] There’s there’s costumes for your character skins for your house. Yes, they call them skins. It’s really weird, you know [21:31.900 –> 21:35.800] There are alternate styles for the the villagers [21:35.800 –> 21:39.900] So there’s tons of things that I’m sure will be contained within the the twitch stuff [21:41.180 –> 21:47.260] If you are the highlights because it’s it’s so much they couldn’t contain it all and in one tweet, there’ll be some new quests [21:47.860 –> 21:51.060] Apparently you can hover around the valley. That sounds kind of cool [21:52.660 –> 21:54.120] Kind of just a ton of updates [21:54.120 –> 21:56.740] So, you know if you’re looking for you know [21:56.740 –> 22:02.240] a push to get into Disney Dreamlight Valley and you go back and listen to the episode where Ellen I covered it because I [22:03.380 –> 22:05.380] the game has no [22:05.460 –> 22:11.920] Right to be as good as it is. It should just be a cash grab and it’s not it’s a really good game [22:11.920 –> 22:16.340] I will admit I haven’t stuck with it overly much after you know [22:17.100 –> 22:22.620] The episode that we did on Disney Dreamlight Valley. That’s not a criticism of the game [22:22.620 –> 22:26.440] It’s more just you know, these games that require you to check in daily [22:26.440 –> 22:29.300] I find it really hard for me to keep up with so [22:30.040 –> 22:32.400] It’s something I plan on going back to once [22:32.760 –> 22:39.920] It probably goes into 1.0 and is officially released and there’s just tons of tons of content out there for me to explore [22:41.000 –> 22:44.240] But Disney Dreamlight Valley is a good game [22:44.420 –> 22:51.040] You should probably play it if you like Disney or if you’re listening to this show because it means you like Cottagecore games because it [22:51.240 –> 22:53.240] You know all of those things [22:53.360 –> 23:00.080] This game rules and this update looks really exciting and maybe I will go back and play this the more I look at [23:00.080 –> 23:03.480] What’s what’s in because it’s a ton of there’s a ton of little things in here [23:03.480 –> 23:06.780] I’m not gonna read them through them all but yeah, it looks really exciting. Oh [23:07.580 –> 23:11.360] Yeah, I mean, I’m a fan of Disney. I’m on this show [23:11.360 –> 23:15.500] I should probably playing this um, and I probably will once 1.0 comes out [23:16.680 –> 23:19.920] nothing wrong with it right now from what it looks like, but just [23:20.680 –> 23:25.880] It’s more like everything else is crowding it out right now in my life. But um, I mean Lion King [23:25.880 –> 23:29.240] That’s that’s a big one for me. So good on them [23:30.120 –> 23:34.040] I can’t I’m very excited to see how this game will come out [23:35.000 –> 23:39.480] And when it goes from fruit rum paying money to free [23:39.840 –> 23:44.280] So you don’t end up like Micah paying for free. Oh [23:45.640 –> 23:48.000] Was one of the funniest bits of the year [23:48.840 –> 23:50.000] So [23:50.000 –> 23:53.880] Let’s see. What else is getting? Oh, oh, you know, what else is [23:54.960 –> 23:56.960] Making me excited question mark [23:57.560 –> 23:59.160] harvest moon [23:59.160 –> 24:02.440] Winds of anthos cuz that game looks good [24:03.160 –> 24:10.000] They dropped a few more screenshots. You can see some of the animals you can see the horse the cow [24:10.640 –> 24:11.640] etc [24:11.640 –> 24:13.280] um [24:13.280 –> 24:18.760] It’s not a lot to go off but man that I just visually that game looks very nice [24:19.720 –> 24:24.200] More effort than I would expect from them and pretty much anything in a harvest moon game [24:24.320 –> 24:29.040] So I I want to agree with you right because the first set of screenshots they released [24:29.040 –> 24:31.560] I was I was really excited about I thought they looked really good [24:31.560 –> 24:36.240] Like I’m a big fan of the chibi esque path style that they’re going for [24:36.680 –> 24:40.080] This this update kind of killed that a little bit [24:40.080 –> 24:45.200] They’ve gone they’ve gone too much down the Pokemon route where man that world looks empty [24:45.200 –> 24:49.120] They’ve got this this picture of a character holding a chicken [24:49.640 –> 24:55.200] standing in front of a horse and man this world looks empty and boring and kind of dull and [24:55.720 –> 24:57.960] I kind of looked at and I was like, hmm [24:58.400 –> 25:02.220] Yeah, this looks like some some harvest moon nonsense [25:02.240 –> 25:04.120] It’s just gonna be some harvest moon nonsense [25:04.120 –> 25:05.400] And I’m not sure that I’m into it [25:05.400 –> 25:12.360] like they should have stuck with the close-ups of all their chibi chibi nonsense because the chibi nonsense is great chibi nonsense, but [25:15.320 –> 25:20.920] I’m losing it. I’m losing just one screenshot that could actually just be one angle like I granted [25:20.920 –> 25:26.760] I don’t expect it to be a full lush world or whatever, but I’m I’ll still be cautiously [25:27.600 –> 25:35.120] Optimistic like they put the screenshot on the internet. They could have picked any other screenshot, but this is the one they chose [25:35.520 –> 25:39.600] Look not to me historically is not great and making decisions [25:43.080 –> 25:46.240] But we will see do you ever really say for that I don’t remember [25:46.760 –> 25:51.980] Keep I don’t think so. Well, just keep you know, keep listening to this show cuz we’ll [25:52.560 –> 25:58.980] Every update we’ll be talking about it and hemming and hauling and going back and forth as to where we like it exactly [25:59.980 –> 26:07.180] Next on the list for news spirit of the island and I have to admit I don’t remember spirit of the island at all [26:08.300 –> 26:11.220] But this is one point three point four [26:11.980 –> 26:16.580] and and probably the most important update that any game can [26:16.820 –> 26:20.660] Put into its patch notes is you can now pitch your pits [26:21.500 –> 26:26.780] so if you’re playing spirit of the island, this is probably a good reason to go in and [26:27.780 –> 26:33.400] To be honest, I like I don’t remember spirit of the island, but this has a really cute aesthetic going on [26:34.140 –> 26:42.520] They released a roadmap for q2 of 2023. So in April you’re about to change the starting island you can [26:44.400 –> 26:47.460] Have a bigger building area with some of the new islands [26:48.380 –> 26:53.840] For May they have something that’s just called the amusement park release, which it just sounds exciting [26:54.700 –> 26:56.100] and [26:56.100 –> 26:58.100] And then in June they’re gonna add some [26:58.660 –> 27:00.300] some new [27:00.300 –> 27:04.100] quests and so a cross-platform version release which [27:04.820 –> 27:10.020] For a game that I knew nothing about before I was looking into you know, what we’re covering this episode [27:10.340 –> 27:17.720] This is a game that I’m like really want to dig in and try because this kind of looks pretty awesome [27:18.060 –> 27:23.600] Those are some big updates. Um, once eight consoles, I’ll probably dive in myself because I agree hits [27:23.600 –> 27:28.240] I didn’t remember either but just looking at this. It looks this looks good. Um [27:29.080 –> 27:31.080] I’m I’m excited for this [27:31.920 –> 27:35.160] Boy, welcome to the episode of boy. We’re excited for things now [27:37.960 –> 27:42.480] I feel like this is very not on brand for us. I feel like we’re supposed to be more pessimistic. No [27:44.960 –> 27:49.440] Cody and Bev are gonna be like real annoyed with us because we’re stealing they’re gonna be excited [27:49.440 –> 27:51.440] And [27:52.680 –> 27:58.080] Shout out to can you pet the dog continuing to influence game dev across the internet? [28:00.760 –> 28:09.640] Good stuff, uh, let’s see here. What else next up another game? I don’t remember but looks kind of cute [28:11.480 –> 28:12.860] Factory town [28:12.860 –> 28:14.860] Idol. Oh [28:15.020 –> 28:19.460] Wait, do I not know cuz oh wait, yeah, I don’t know cuz it’s a new game. That’s why I don’t remember it [28:20.180 –> 28:25.980] From the makers of factory town. Oh, hey, look at that. It’s called factory town. Idol. I’ll be darned [28:26.940 –> 28:29.700] We have a new game that is coming [28:30.540 –> 28:35.460] Actually very soon April 20th. That’s right around the corner. It’s a [28:36.580 –> 28:38.940] Incremental style town builder. What does that mean? [28:39.420 –> 28:47.100] See here you build houses and buildings sign workers to craft stuff sell your goods and keep your townspeople happy [28:49.580 –> 28:55.100] Endless research and upgrades so it’s just like keep making your town bigger and so on and so forth [28:56.100 –> 29:00.060] But looking at the screenshots, it looks well, first of all, I see menus [29:00.060 –> 29:05.420] That’s like half the screenshots are menus boy. If you like menus, you’ll be happy with this game [29:05.420 –> 29:11.860] Um, well, this is a this is an idle game, right? So this is the like, you know [29:12.580 –> 29:19.000] Finally cottagecore has a game where you do nothing and somehow it takes over your life [29:19.460 –> 29:26.940] And I’m terrified because I can very easily be sucked into these sorts of games. I [29:28.500 –> 29:33.180] I am afraid if this is the last episode I appear on is because my life has been [29:33.900 –> 29:36.580] Taken over by a factory town idol. I [29:38.540 –> 29:45.140] I am terrified. I am legitimately terrified of this game. Like this is a you know, if you think of a [29:45.820 –> 29:52.460] The cottage core click at the clicker suck. Yeah, it’s it’s a cottage core clicker like it’s that’s that’s what it is [29:52.460 –> 29:58.820] You know paper. What was the paper clips one called? I don’t remember but but you know it [29:59.340 –> 30:01.420] Yeah, it’s it’s one of those [30:03.420 –> 30:07.700] I’m terrified for the future of my existence with a cottage core clicker coming [30:08.620 –> 30:13.700] Every news. I’m already playing runescape. I’m already playing a clicker at least that one of his graphics [30:15.820 –> 30:21.740] Every update is every news article just Johnny is just filling Johnny with more and more dread. Oh [30:23.660 –> 30:30.540] Gosh, um, let’s see here. Well, actually what is next? Tell me Johnny. What’s next? [30:31.340 –> 30:34.820] Last thing last thing on our news list is communite which [30:35.540 –> 30:40.820] You know, I had not heard a game another game. I had not heard about before. I [30:42.460 –> 30:45.660] Was looking through what we were talking about this episode [30:47.100 –> 30:54.460] Copy night in the year of 2023. We have pretty bad names for control games. This might be the worst [30:55.060 –> 30:57.260] It’s a terrible name for okay [30:58.180 –> 31:02.540] It raises all sorts of things that I do not want to be thinking about when I am playing a [31:04.820 –> 31:09.660] It for me it goes so bad I kind of like it oh [31:12.300 –> 31:17.060] What is communite let’s see it’s a it’s a multiplayer city builder [31:18.180 –> 31:22.840] Where you use your kindness to help others create your perfect world together [31:23.580 –> 31:25.580] Which sounds both? [31:26.580 –> 31:28.580] Amazing and terrifying [31:32.300 –> 31:38.640] Yeah, it looks very yeah, that looks very sort of like cute and wholesome, you know in a [31:39.420 –> 31:41.600] 2d mobile style way [31:45.900 –> 31:49.920] Apparently it’s coming for Windows iOS and Android which is good because you know [31:49.920 –> 31:53.700] My first instinct looking to this is it looks like a great fun game. Yep [31:54.700 –> 31:56.700] So so that sounds good [31:58.020 –> 32:03.260] I’m interested to see what they do from a multiplayer perspective, you know, like [32:04.060 –> 32:09.940] multiplayer and cottagecore is not something that you see that commonly and when you do see it it tends to feel [32:10.300 –> 32:12.300] Not great, you know [32:12.460 –> 32:17.980] I’m personally not a fan of the way stardew does multiplayer. Not that it’s bad [32:17.980 –> 32:20.300] I can’t think of a way that they could do it better [32:20.300 –> 32:25.900] But it just doesn’t it’s just not the vibe that that game is going for right, you know [32:25.900 –> 32:27.460] I’ve never really played a multiplayer game [32:27.460 –> 32:30.860] It’s got past like day ten because you start a game and then yeah [32:30.860 –> 32:33.800] You can never get that same group of people back to play it again, right? So yeah [32:34.380 –> 32:36.860] It’s a tough call. It’s a curious [32:38.100 –> 32:40.700] Yeah, of course don’t lend themselves to multiplayer [32:40.700 –> 32:46.860] so I I am also curious how they can do that and being a city builder like I [32:47.660 –> 32:52.760] Feel like there’s a little more wiggle room for multiplayer. I’m interested to see what they’ll do for sure [32:54.780 –> 33:00.680] One interesting note you can actually play the alpha if you look at the tweet in the show notes and scroll down like the [33:00.680 –> 33:03.100] Next comment is them posting a link to the alpha [33:03.840 –> 33:05.760] for PC and [33:05.760 –> 33:07.940] Android I don’t see an iOS one, but [33:09.460 –> 33:13.740] Check it out and I’ll definitely keep my eyes and just to see how it works [33:14.500 –> 33:21.180] Because it’s very interesting multiplayer city builder, you know what though right if you’re tired of building cities [33:21.220 –> 33:24.960] How about we just write that in Tara? No [33:25.980 –> 33:28.220] Okay, let’s let’s get into it Johnny [33:29.220 –> 33:31.940] Let’s start with the the first question. What? [33:32.660 –> 33:36.700] Do you like the game Tara nil? I like the game. I [33:37.820 –> 33:43.260] Had this game on my list for games that I was most anticipating for this year. I do not like it as [33:44.340 –> 33:49.340] Much as I hoped I would huh, but that’s not to say it’s bad. You know, it’s just [33:50.140 –> 33:56.220] It’s good, but it needs some work. That’s that’s kind of like, you know, my takeaway for this game is it’s good [33:56.220 –> 34:01.640] You should definitely play it but it needs some work. So like I’m still I’m like a tentative thumbs thumbs up [34:01.640 –> 34:07.580] Yeah, that’s that’s where I’m at. Yeah, I feel similar. Like you said it’s there’s nothing [34:08.100 –> 34:13.340] Bad about it per se for me. I think it’s I’ve been thinking a lot about it [34:13.860 –> 34:15.860] like why I’m [34:16.340 –> 34:21.260] What feels lacking and I think it might be a question of scale or content [34:21.900 –> 34:27.620] Which I hate to say that because not every game needs to be big or whatever but like full disclosure [34:27.620 –> 34:32.960] I’d a hundred percent of this game in like three days after it came out. Um, it’s only 15 bucks [34:32.960 –> 34:36.760] I don’t feel bad and I enjoyed what was there but yeah, I don’t know [34:36.760 –> 34:40.380] I feel like I was expecting to do a little more to [34:41.220 –> 34:43.420] Like break down the steps of the [34:43.940 –> 34:45.940] Wood terraforming and all that [34:46.980 –> 34:53.020] But I get let’s just get into the detail. Well, first of all, hold on I played on PC through steam [34:53.020 –> 34:57.260] That was my experience, but you played through Netflix. So let’s talk about that first because that’s [34:58.140 –> 35:02.380] Interesting and different for most games. Yeah, so this game is available through [35:03.020 –> 35:05.900] through PC on Steam and on [35:06.860 –> 35:08.860] Your mobile device through Netflix [35:09.180 –> 35:10.900] And [35:10.900 –> 35:12.900] the Netflix [35:13.260 –> 35:16.620] gaming thing has been a little controversial I would say because [35:16.980 –> 35:23.500] The first sort of big scale game they brought was into the breach if you haven’t played into the breach and you’re into [35:24.620 –> 35:30.600] Strategy style games into the breach is probably the greatest game that has come out in the last 10 years [35:31.940 –> 35:33.940] And I know it’s pretty dang good. It’s [35:34.820 –> 35:36.820] It’s so good [35:36.980 –> 35:42.240] And I know that annoyed a lot of people because you know required a subscription to Netflix [35:42.780 –> 35:49.580] to to do and and that happened before the you know, you have to log into a device in [35:50.120 –> 35:56.580] You know the physical location the buckle which for the purposes of this conversation we will put to the side [35:57.780 –> 36:02.540] but I think what’s interesting is the idea of these streaming platforms that produce TV, you know, or [36:03.300 –> 36:06.340] Movie content sort of getting into the idea of gaming [36:07.500 –> 36:12.880] And I have to say I’m I’m largely for it. Like I think you know the idea of [36:14.380 –> 36:15.820] Supporting [36:15.820 –> 36:20.740] Relatively indie developers, which I think the Netflix gaming thing has largely done right like Terra [36:20.740 –> 36:23.900] Nil is not made by a big studio. I believe they’re based out of [36:24.580 –> 36:28.180] South Africa into the breach. I don’t know who that’s made by [36:28.180 –> 36:35.260] Maybe it’s made by a big studio. Maybe it’s not but I actually think this is a good way for you know [36:35.260 –> 36:41.340] Companies like Netflix which are looking for ways to retain subscriber numbers, you know to retain their business model [36:42.220 –> 36:44.220] To do something good [36:44.500 –> 36:47.940] And to you know, make mobile gaming [36:48.820 –> 36:50.820] more of a thing [36:51.340 –> 36:55.940] So to bring awesome games to mobile platforms like I [36:56.340 –> 36:57.780] I [36:57.780 –> 37:03.260] Feel like this is a little bit of a win-win like I have a Netflix subscription [37:03.860 –> 37:07.780] if some of that money is going towards supporting the people that [37:08.140 –> 37:13.220] Do Terra Nil then I feel better today about that about my Netflix subscription [37:13.220 –> 37:17.900] Then I did two weeks ago before Terra Nil was a game that was available via their platform [37:19.020 –> 37:21.500] But I’m part of the ecosystem [37:21.500 –> 37:27.420] So I guess Kev I’m keen to see what your take on that is, you know when you played this game not through Netflix [37:29.340 –> 37:30.780] Okay [37:30.780 –> 37:35.140] Not playing it not through Netflix. Like it feels like it’s just a steam game [37:35.900 –> 37:41.700] And you know, that’s not good or bad. Just like I don’t just felt like a game on the whole streaming stuff [37:41.700 –> 37:46.460] I just want to comment like first of all, I am in the rare rare [37:47.100 –> 37:50.340] Subset of people that has never had a Netflix subscription [37:52.220 –> 37:57.780] But so I haven’t played any of their offerings but that said I agree with you [37:57.780 –> 38:03.620] I do think it’s a good cool idea for these big companies to fund [38:04.540 –> 38:06.600] Indie developers making these games [38:07.420 –> 38:14.860] Fun fact I wondered how dry dock studios who I’ve never heard of before and I don’t I didn’t look into if they made anything else [38:15.500 –> 38:19.720] Was able to make wildflowers turns out they were produced by Apple [38:19.720 –> 38:25.620] So they got that Apple money to make that beautiful game for their Apple arcade. And so yeah same idea [38:26.240 –> 38:28.560] So I do agree. That’s good [38:30.360 –> 38:32.760] Putting Terra Nil through Netflix just to [38:33.880 –> 38:36.600] Just so they can get funded and make these cool games. Um [38:37.720 –> 38:40.440] But let’s let’s talk about the game now. Um [38:41.760 –> 38:47.320] So for people who haven’t paid attention to our hype for the last X amount of episodes [38:48.240 –> 38:50.240] Terra Nil is a game where you are [38:51.560 –> 38:52.840] terraforming [38:52.840 –> 38:56.720] polluted world into a nice pretty lush [38:57.680 –> 38:59.680] biodiverse world [39:00.160 –> 39:02.160] and [39:02.960 –> 39:04.960] Okay here [39:05.260 –> 39:06.760] The [39:06.760 –> 39:09.560] The way you go about it is through [39:10.520 –> 39:16.140] Menus and clicking on tiles. How would you describe you’re probably but I don’t have the best word for this [39:17.320 –> 39:22.940] Yes, I would describe it as a city builder. So, you know if you put in your mind something like a [39:24.080 –> 39:26.080] Sim City or [39:27.520 –> 39:31.520] Civilization or a cities and skylines but take away the time element, right? [39:31.520 –> 39:36.080] So so this game doesn’t operate on time as a dimension. There’s a kind of core [39:37.280 –> 39:39.640] currency that controls it but ultimately you are [39:40.320 –> 39:45.780] Building buildings to help you build more buildings that influence the world around you [39:46.540 –> 39:48.140] And [39:48.140 –> 39:52.820] eventually sort of the the spoiler and the twist that they put on this is towards the end of your [39:53.820 –> 39:58.980] instruction to this landscape you tear down all of those buildings and buildings and recycle them all so the [39:59.820 –> 40:01.860] Environment that you created is sustainable [40:01.860 –> 40:07.780] so if you’re into the idea of something like a sub city, but you’re kind of put off by the [40:09.140 –> 40:13.460] You know the fact that the world keeps progressing and things keep turning over [40:13.460 –> 40:20.580] That’s not a concern in this game. So so the term I would use is this kind like an idol strategy game, right? [40:20.580 –> 40:26.340] You can think about your next move for as long as possible and the game won’t punish you for doing that [40:26.340 –> 40:33.460] You can even undo one move which is a very nice little feature, which I may have learned now before we started this show.

Ever hear of the Battle of Saratoga? Volodymyr Zelenskyy has. When the Ukrainian President addressed Congress, he reached back to American Revolutionary War days to make his plea -- Ukraine needs more military assistance. It wasn't the first time a foreign leader addressing a Joint Meeting of Congress went deep into American history -- particularly from the Revolutionary War days -- to make a rhetorical point.

For an end-of-year special, Mark Dunlea pulled together five of our weekly peace segments from Hudson Mohawk Magazine. The first three focus on Ukraine, beginning with an interview with Joe Gerson, president of the Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security. Then, we talked with Code Pink Co-Founder Medea Benjamin shortly after a missile in the Ukrainian war ended up killing several people in Poland, prompting fears of an increased intervention by NATO to respond to an attack on a member country. Next, Mark Dunlea discussed the divisions in the peace movement over Ukraine with Sally Becker. After that we turn to other peace issues and their relationship to other justice movements. We first hear from Pat Hynes, former Director of the Traprock Peace and Justice Center about why peace activists and others are joining the Poor People's Campaign. Finally, we hear about the National Priorities Project about the ever-growing size of the US American military budget and what that means for other key issues. Produced by Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
How to build an economy? Come and follow Hugo Bänziger (eabh) & Pete Asch (NYSE) to the creation of the modern US American economy and their views on the historical roots of the country's current dynamic economy. Together they discuss the creation of the US bond market, the role of Hamilton, the significance of the Buttonwood Agreement and the role of equity. More than helping build a modern state, the New York Stock Exchange was the driving force behind New York becoming a powerful financial center. How did that happen? Was it all keeping the early lead? Peter Ash shares insights from his archive, and more than that why he thinks the company's vault holds one of the keys to its future success.

Jason A. Coombs (Mr. Robot, Grave Mysteries, Two Grown) is an accomplished actor, writer, director, Artistic Director of the Bridgeport Film Festival and, “Survival Jobs,” podcast host joins us to speak about Eartha Kitt. Eartha Kitt was an US American singer, actress, comedian, dancer and activist. Orson Welles once called her the "most exciting woman in the world". Listen to this incredible episode that scratches the surface of the amazing Eartha Kitt and how her speaking truth to power led to a CIA file being created, and how President Johnson and his wife ostracized her from US entertainment for seven years. She definitely deserves a mini-series about her!
Every year in the US, we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month. We celebrate the histories, cultures and contributions of US American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. In today's episode, Sophia and Olga join the National Hispanic Heritage Month celebration. They talk about the family values, festivities and diversity that we can all learn from our hispanic brothers and sisters as well as reasons why it is important to celebrate this event every year. They also talk about the story of Frida Kahlo, one of the most important Mexican artists and certainly one of the most iconic women in history. And for the fans of Encanto, Olga and Sophia will share four important culture and life lessons we can all learn from the Disney movie. This week, our challenge for you all big dreamers is to watch and discuss the characters of Encanto with your family. See how you can relate to them. You can think about your own unique gifts and talents, about your vision, your values, your feelings towards one of the other characters. Tell us about it and email us at olga@dreambigpodcast.com. We absolutely love hearing from you. Enjoy the episode!
This week is the conclusion of my presentation on world-class singers who made a minimal number of appearances at the Metropolitan Opera. My arbitrary parameters for this episode were singers who appeared (approximately) between the years 1950 and 1975 and sang fewer than ten performances in total at that venerable institution. Among the artists featured are the British singers Josephine Veasey and Anne Howells (both of whom we lost earlier this year), as well as Stafford Dean and Alberto Remedios; the French-Canadian tenors Léopold Simoneau and Richard Verreau; the Romanians Ludovic Spiess and Marina Krilovici; the US-American dramatic coloratura Margherita Roberti; the Australian super-soprano Joan Carden; the Italian sopranos Maria Chiara and Luisa Malagrida; the French falcon Jane Rhodes; the Austrians Eberhard Wächter and Otto Wiener; the Finnish heldentenor Pekka Nuotio; and the Germans Josef Greindl, Walburga Wegner, Erna Schlüter and Christel Goltz. Met stalwarts Monserrat Caballé, Shirley Verrett, and Ramón Vinay are featured as vocal guest stars; conductors include such greats as Dimitri Mitroupoulos, Gianandrea Gavazzeni, Thomas Beecham, Carlo Felice Cillario, and Arthur Rodziński.. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly support at whatever level you can afford. Bonus episodes available exclusively to Patreon supporters are currently available and further bonus content including interviews and livestreams is planned for the upcoming season.
Elliott Gould plays an “apathist” photographer and Adam Driver a confrontational comedian who take center stage - with varying degrees of enthusiasm -- as we discus Alan Arkin's early ‘70s satire Little Murders and Leos Carax's 2021 musical extravaganza Annette. “ so much of a piece, so consistent on its own terms, that while you're watching it, it doesn't even feel like satire: just real life, a little farther down the road.” -Roger Ebert What does a bleak adaption of a late 60s stage satire about the prevalence of violence in modern US American life have to do with a stylized, surrealistic Sparks-penned musical about two performers in love and their puppet baby? Is heterosexual romantic love doomed to fail? What pivotal events in act two cement the fates of these characters, and the thematic connections between these films? Who is hotter, Elliott Gould or Adam Driver? Join us for urgent answers to these burning questions, and oh so much more!
