(0:00:45) Al: So many cottagecore games. Yes, yes, yes, yes. So, we just had a Nintendo Direct. (0:00:56) Al: By the time you hear this, there will have been another Nintendo Direct, (0:00:58) Kev: Haha sick. Oh my gosh. It’s that close. Oh my gosh. I’m not ready. I’m not ready (0:00:59) Al: But… (0:01:00) Al: We won’t be talking about that one. (0:01:02) Al: Not in this episode. (0:01:04) Al: Yeah, yeah. I think it’s the day of. Yeah, it’s the second. We release on the second, which is when the… (0:01:10) Kev: Yeah (0:01:11) Al: So, yeah. (0:01:14) Al: Let’s see how this goes. But we are… (0:01:16) Kev: So thank you for tuning in when even we’re not caring about this episode (0:01:22) Al: Hey, hey, I care. I care. (0:01:23) Kev: No, that’s not true (0:01:26) Al: So yeah, we’re going to talk about the switch direct this (0:01:30) Al: well, so we have a greenhouse episode where we talk about the switch direct in its whole, (0:01:35) Al: but we skip over the stuff that we’re going to talk about in this episode, (0:01:39) Al: specifically, it’s cartridge core games. (0:01:40) Kev: Because there was stuff for us. (0:01:43) Kev: Episode, entire episodes of the horror season were announced in that direct. (0:01:49) Al: You’re not wrong, I will say. So we’re going to talk about that. We’ve got some other news, (0:01:56) Al: Because people decided to send out other news as well this week. (0:02:00) Al: And that wasn’t just all in the Nintendo Direct. (0:02:03) Al: We’ve also got the roundup of March because it’s a new month now. (0:02:08) Al: Almost. It will be a new month now. (0:02:10) Al: This is one of those weird months where we are recording in a different month (0:02:14) Al: than we’re releasing, and I was like, do I wait till next week? (0:02:16) Al: But I decided, no, let’s do it in this one, because I’m sure nobody will announce (0:02:18) Kev: Sure. (0:02:21) Al: and release their game in the next two days. Right? (0:02:24) Kev: Oh, oh, oh, oh. (0:02:26) Al: We’ll see. (0:02:27) Kev: There’s you. (0:02:28) Kev: There’s you. (0:02:28) Al: We’ll see. (0:02:31) Al: So we’re going to talk about what released last month, in March. (0:02:35) Al: And we’ve got some feedback that we’re going to talk about as well. (0:02:39) Kev: Oh, oh, that’s that’s a genuinely exciting. I didn’t know that I’m excited (0:02:43) Al: But first of all, Kevin, what have you been up to? (0:02:46) Kev: Uh (0:02:48) Kev: Gosh, I can’t believe it’s actually been a week since I recorded and it feels like so much has happened (0:02:54) Kev: I got sick in between then and there it was rough (0:02:54) Al: No, no. (0:02:58) Kev: I don’t know if I thought it was a common cold at first. It might have been something a little last year. That’s (0:03:05) Kev: Yeah, the uncommon cold. That’s correct. Um, I (0:03:09) Kev: was breaking it off. Thankfully, but uh, yeah, that that took me down a few pegs over the week, but uh, I (0:03:16) Kev: When I was able to I squeezed in its usual say so on and so forth, but the big one wonder stop I finished it (0:03:25) Kev: I’m just holding up my thumb. You know one can see it, but I am and and that’s all I’m going to say on that because (0:03:33) Kev: One you people should play it because it’s a good game and two (0:03:37) Kev: Maybe who knows I will talk (0:03:39) Kev: about it somewhere in detail, somewhere, someplace, maybe, I don’t know. (0:03:43) Al: So, obviously, not spoilery, but nothing to change on what you said about it in the last (0:03:49) Kev: nope my nope my that is correct it did not crash and burn did not you know (0:03:49) Al: episode. (0:03:50) Al: You’ve not changed your mind. (0:03:58) Kev: scald my I and games there are games that will do that right the last second (0:04:02) Kev: just just ruin everything nope it stumps up all the way yeah so wonder stuff good (0:04:12) Al: Oh, nothing big, I’ve been continuing on Pokemon GO despite everything, because I still genuinely (0:04:12) Kev: stuff what about you well what’s been going on (0:04:23) Al: enjoy that game, and the new TCG Pocket expansion dropped a couple of days ago, so I’ve been (0:04:26) Kev: Now, you know, that’s fair. (0:04:32) Al: opening some packs, getting some cards, I got a shiny something, was that charming? (0:04:33) Kev: Uh, it’s… (0:04:35) Kev: Oh. (0:04:36) Kev: What? (0:04:38) Kev: Uh. (0:04:39) Kev: Okay. (0:04:40) Kev: Like, I, I, I am… (0:04:42) Kev: …interested in… (0:04:45) Kev: …because, you know, in the standard TCG, a new… (0:04:49) Kev: …set, or expansion, or whatever… (0:04:52) Kev: …usually has… (0:04:55) Kev: …stuff. (0:04:55) Kev: Well, it has. (0:04:56) Kev: Certain expectations or expectations are set. (0:04:59) Kev: Let’s say that right sometimes. (0:05:01) Kev: Yeah. (0:05:01) Kev: I mean, yes, there are cool arts that people can want that and so on and so forth. (0:05:06) Kev: Sometimes to ridiculous scalpery like insane levels of the expectations, but there’s gameplay stuff to lots of times, right? (0:05:17) Kev: Like we’re getting the Team Rocket Pokemon are coming back soon in the TCG and that’s cool or you know, we got styles or whatever. (0:05:25) Kev: I like to, there’s, there’s. (0:05:26) Kev: Oh, okay. There you go. That’s a big one. All right. All right. (0:05:35) Al: No, it is. It is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. (0:05:37) Al: So the last the last set included tools, which they hadn’t had before. (0:05:43) Al: Pokemon to and I and also the there’s like Arceus Link. (0:05:52) Al: I don’t know if you know about the Arceus… (0:05:53) Al: Like that was a thing in the physical TCG years ago. (0:05:56) Al: I don’t know if you know what that is. (0:05:56) Kev: Okay, I’m not. I heard whispers of it, but I didn’t look at it. (0:06:01) Al: It’s like abilities that affect Pokemon, (0:06:04) Al: but only if you use– (0:06:05) Al: Arceus, so it’s like if you have Arceus on the field then this happens sort of thing. (0:06:06) Kev: Huh, okay. (0:06:09) Kev: Yeah. (0:06:11) Kev: Oh, that’s a pretty cool idea. Actually, I like that. That’s fun. (0:06:15) Al: It’s very tied to Arceus which obviously limits your deck abilities but– (0:06:19) Kev: Yeah. Yeah. (0:06:21) Al: And then this set there– I mean there’s obviously always cards that have like (0:06:26) Al: new abilities and stuff like that. There’s a different Charizard which– I haven’t looked (0:06:28) Kev: Sure, sure. (0:06:31) Al: into what people are saying but I think looks like a much better Charizard than the previous (0:06:36) Al: one. There is a Giratina that is interesting. Both of those cards are heavily based around (0:06:45) Al: attacks that add energy to them so that then you can use the more powerful attack quicker. (0:06:51) Kev: Hmm, okay (0:06:54) Al: And they did just launch a ranked in pocket as well. So I will not be doing that but that does exist. (0:06:59) Kev: Oh dang pocket pocket going all in all right no longer just the collector app good good for you pocket again (0:07:10) Al: So yeah, yeah, there’s always stuff and then obviously there’s the shinies in the new the new set (0:07:15) Kev: - Yeah. (0:07:17) Al: Which are fun they are they added new missions that get you (0:07:23) Al: You’re able to unlock full decks as well. So you can say like oh I want the Tinkitung on (0:07:28) Kev: Uh-huh. (0:07:29) Al: EX deck and you get all the cards from that which is cool (0:07:32) Kev: Oh, that’s nice. (0:07:33) Al: Yeah (0:07:34) Al: So yeah, yeah, they’re adding stuff (0:07:36) Al: I don’t expect big changes every set because they’ve (0:07:40) Al: basically released a set every month, which is fast. (0:07:44) Kev: That’s that’s a lot. That is a lot. I’m exhausted just hearing that Wow (0:07:49) Al: With with the trading, I am managing to keep up with the (0:07:52) Al: standard cards, obviously not with the secret rares. But yeah, (0:07:56) Kev: prayers and all that, yeah, yeah, sure. (0:07:58) Al: but like with the standard, they call them diamond rarity. I’m (0:08:03) Al: managing to keep up to date with that. So I’m missing two (0:08:06) Al: from the last set and three from the previous set, but I’ll get (0:08:10) Al: to easily if actually put in the effort to look into trading. (0:08:14) Kev: Okay (0:08:15) Al: So that’s not very many. So yeah, I’m just exclusively (0:08:18) Kev: All right, that’s not bad all right (0:08:20) Al: opening the new set just now. (0:08:23) Al: I think that’s everything. I don’t think I’ve been playing (0:08:24) Al: anything. And this is why we’re not talking about Mika this (0:08:26) Al: week. We’ve had a week, but it’s fine. Because we were given (0:08:28) Kev: Yeah, it’s it’s been a week (0:08:35) Al: quite the list of news to talk about. So we didn’t even need to (0:08:37) Kev: Yeah (0:08:39) Al: have an alternate. (0:08:41) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I like (0:08:41) Al: So let’s see how long this takes us. (0:08:45) Kev: So I like how that happened cuz it was like (0:08:48) Kev: Just two days ago something you reached out like hey, I haven’t touched (0:08:53) Kev: Oh, you might we just do news episode. I’m like, that’s great. I have also not touched me good (0:09:00) Al: I was like I really should play the game and then I was like it’s Thursday. I’m not gonna be able to play this enough (0:09:02) Kev: Yeah, but (0:09:07) Kev: Yeah (0:09:08) Al: And it’s not that I don’t want to play the game. It’s just this week has been very busy and very tiring on so many levels (0:09:16) Kev: a lot of levels, I agree, for different reasons for both of us, but somehow, um, law, very (0:09:24) Al: It was Craig, my youngest, he’s really into Astrobot just now and he’s been, he’s really (0:09:29) Al: good at it but he can’t do everything and so there’s a few things he’s been, like he’s done (0:09:34) Al: some of the really hard bosses but there’s like some speed run levels that he’s struggling with (0:09:39) Al: and so he’s been asking me to help him with those ones. But he’s improved so much since he started, (0:09:45) Al: like he’s I think legitimately better than like most adults now, like he’s actually really good, (0:09:50) Kev: Oh, dang! (0:09:51) Al: like he defeated the final boss. (0:09:54) Al: Um, in the game, which is really good. (0:09:54) Kev: Oh, dang! (0:09:56) Kev: Way to go, kid! (0:09:56) Al: Um, I need, the game is now a hundred percent. (0:09:59) Al: He, as I say, he, I’ve done, I did some of that for him, but his save file (0:10:03) Al: is at a hundred percent now, which is wild. (0:10:07) Al: So yeah, but yeah. (0:10:09) Al: So we were sitting down this afternoon after we’d spent the day in Edinburgh. (0:10:13) Al: And he was like, Oh, Daddy, could you help me with this bit? (0:10:16) Al: And I’m like, honestly, Craig, my brain can’t deal with that just now. (0:10:20) Al: Like, it’s just there is too much to deal with in a platform. (0:10:24) Al: platformer that I do not have the energy to focus on that. (0:10:29) Al: So he was like, OK, that’s fine. (0:10:30) Al: I’ll do something else then. (0:10:32) Al: And it wasn’t the problem. (0:10:33) Al: But yeah, it’s just like when your brain can’t even do a 3D platformer, (0:10:37) Al: you know that you’ve had a week. (0:10:40) Kev: Yeah, absolutely (0:10:43) Al: So let’s see how this episode goes. (0:10:45) Al: I hope you’re excited for whatever this is. (0:10:46) Kev: Yeah, oh (0:10:49) Al: Let’s talk about some feedback. (0:10:51) Al: got another Spotify comment, uh, from our, (0:10:53) Kev: Yeah, oh I’m so excited (0:10:54) Al: only Spotify commenter, Jack, but thank you, Jack, for the comment, uh, Jack says, (0:11:01) Al: excellent job on the Grimoire Groves. Um, I think I might try it sometime in the future. (0:11:05) Al: Do you feel the next Coral Island update with children will be a good time to hop back in? (0:11:10) Al: My answer to that is I think it depends. Like if you played the game at 1.0, um, (0:11:16) Al: I think it will be a good time to jump back in. If you played 1.1, probably not. Like I think (0:11:21) Al: Anybody who’s played the game was (0:11:24) Al: 1.0 or before should be probably not now. Until we knew that 1.2 was coming out in the summer, (0:11:32) Al: I would have said just go for it now because 1.1 is such a good update for it. But obviously, if you’re (0:11:39) Al: happy with waiting another couple of months, it’s definitely a good time to jump in. And if you’re (0:11:44) Al: not super interested in multiplayer, I don’t think that other update gives you anything. (0:11:50) Al: so yeah get the get the children go for it (0:11:54) Al: get the children that was weird (0:11:56) Kev: The children (0:11:58) Kev: The children I’d you kids hide your wife (0:11:59) Al: goodness me (0:12:02) Kev: My my opinion is you should wait for the coral island update called fungi store (0:12:08) Al: oh dear (0:12:13) Al: um also has anyone on the team played bookbound on steam? I haven’t heard of anyone saying it, (0:12:19) Al: uh but uh good one to add add to the list it’s a cozy game where you operate (0:12:24) Al: a big store. I was curious about your thoughts if anyone has played it so I yeah interesting (0:12:28) Kev: Yeah, same thing here. (0:12:32) Al: maybe we need to get uh nami on for that episode it’s a big store not a library but (0:12:32) Kev: Oh, that would be fun. (0:12:38) Al: they’re basically the same thing right a big a big store is just capitalist version of a library (0:12:40) Kev: Yeah, it’d be. (0:12:45) Al: right libraries are socialism big stores are capitalism that’s how you understand the difference (0:12:46) Kev: It is, yes. (0:12:50) Kev: There you go. (0:12:54) Al: thank you for your comment jack and this is just a reminder that if you comment on spotify or you (0:12:58) Al: send us feedback from our website we will probably mention you on the podcast because we don’t get (0:13:04) Al: enough to to get it too busy like I mean if we ever get popular then i’m not promising that we’ll (0:13:09) Kev: that’s right (0:13:09) Al: do that for everyone but when we get one every three months i’m gonna mention it on the podcast (0:13:18) Al: uh kevin it’s time for I know what you released last month (0:13:22) Al: I’ve settled on that name. (0:13:24) Kev: Did you decide? (0:13:24) Al: We have quite the list of games that came out in March. (0:13:28) Al: So we’re starting off with Grimoire Groves. (0:13:30) Al: Obviously, we’ve covered that. (0:13:32) Al: That came out in March. (0:13:34) Al: Desktop Cat Cafe came out in March. (0:13:36) Al: That was the Cat Cafe Rusty-like. (0:13:40) Al: I don’t know anyone that’s tried it yet, but… (0:13:40) Kev: all right (0:13:44) Kev: yeah I i don’t either (0:13:46) Al: Believe it or not, Sugardew Island came out in March. (0:13:48) Kev: uh… i’ve heard the rumors that (0:13:50) Al: I was going to say it feels like longer than that, (0:13:54) Al: but that’s because I played it in February, so that’ll be why. (0:13:58) Kev: hmm (0:14:00) Al: Wonderstop came out, obviously. (0:14:02) Kev: died (0:14:02) Al: We had the fantastic episode about that last week. (0:14:04) Al: Good job. (0:14:04) Kev: go one, play it, go, go play it (0:14:08) Al: Mudborne came out. (0:14:08) Al: That’s the Frog Apical. (0:14:10) Kev: good name (0:14:10) Al: Apical, but frogs. (0:14:12) Kev: still great name, little bit (0:14:14) Al: I know somebody who will be playing it. (0:14:18) Al: I don’t think they have started playing it, (0:14:18) Kev: da, ah, ah, ah, ah (0:14:20) Al: but I know someone who will be playing it. (0:14:24) Kev: secrets (0:14:26) Kev: it’s not me (0:14:26) Kev: Hope it’s not me. (0:14:28) Al: Maybe it is, nothing you know who it is anyway, but honeyman sir, early access released as (0:14:29) Kev: It’s news to me if it is. (0:14:37) Al: well, as well as galactic getaway early access, apparently I backed that one on Kickstarter (0:14:43) Al: because I got a key in an email yesterday, which was like, oh, I don’t remember backing (0:14:45) Kev: Hahaha, surprise! (0:14:50) Al: this, but fair enough, I’ve got a game, it’s a little present to me from two years ago. (0:14:58) Al: Technically will be last month by the time this episode comes out, Space Sprouts came (0:15:03) Al: out on the 31st of March. Thankfully they announced it before we recorded the episode (0:15:08) Al: so we could include it. Busy month, biggest month of the year so far. Let’s turn it down (0:15:16) Al: a little bit because that’s too many games. Thanks, please and thank you. Oh, a lot of (0:15:18) Kev: No, Nintendo finally said no. (0:15:26) Al: games. Let’s see how that (0:15:28) Al: continues. But that’s what released last month. Are you (0:15:32) Al: playing any of these other games that you that aren’t (0:15:36) Kev: uh if any of them probably be mud born because I like frogs it’s a good name I don’t know i’ll (0:15:44) Kev: see how it goes though but there it’s not high on my priority list other ways (0:15:48) Al: It’s fair enough. Fair enough. Let’s talk about the game news then. So yeah, we’re going to start (0:15:54) Al: with games that we know about that have announced something new. So first up, Distant Bloom. It’s out (0:16:03) Al: on PlayStation and Switch. So it was already out on Steam, but now it’s out on PlayStation 4, (0:16:04) Kev: There you go go (0:16:09) Al: PlayStation 5 and Switch. So if you were wanting to play it, but you’re waiting for it to be on (0:16:10) Kev: There you go, I (0:16:13) Kev: I I didn’t even remember this game to be honest, but I looked up. It looks fine (0:16:13) Al: console, there you go. (0:16:21) Kev: I’d like yeah (0:16:22) Al: This is the game where you are cleaning a planet, I think, (0:16:28) Al: and you have to save plants. (0:16:28) Kev: Yeah (0:16:31) Kev: I do like that (0:16:34) Kev: I think (0:16:35) Kev: Yeah, I like that kind of terraforming or nature restoration (0:16:40) Kev: Sort of premise more than just your standard farm generally speaking. I think so that is cute. I like (0:16:48) Al: Well, this game came out almost exactly a year ago on Steam, 27th of March last year. (0:16:54) Kev: Wow. (0:16:55) Kev: Why? (0:16:56) Kev: Well, it’s not too bad if I turn around to get your ports out. (0:16:58) Al: Yeah, yeah, not bad. (0:17:01) Al: Next, we have Monster Patch. (0:17:03) Al: The Kickstarter is live and we therefore have a lot more information about Sean (0:17:08) Al: Young’s upcoming Monster Collector game. (0:17:11) Kev: Not just out of the things dang funded of course (0:17:16) Al: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:17:17) Al: It’s currently sitting– (0:17:18) Al: so it’s doing pretty good, doing pretty good. (0:17:22) Kev: Yeah, that’s correct Shocker (0:17:27) Al: I have backed it. (0:17:28) Al: Have you backed it, Kevin? (0:17:29) Kev: Not yet (0:17:30) Al: Are you going to? (0:17:31) Al: Or are you going to wait till it’s out? (0:17:35) Kev: I don’t know how to think about it. Maybe not bad. What do I get for backing? Yeah, I don’t know (0:17:39) Al: A future present. This is the thing. If you think you’ll have more money in the future, (0:17:44) Kev: The future present (0:17:51) Al: don’t back the game, right? Because why would you pay for a game now when you’ll have more money in (0:17:52) Kev: You know, you know. (0:17:57) Al: the future? If you think “I won’t have more money in the future” or “I have enough money to buy it (0:18:03) Al: just now”, back it because it’s fun to get a free game later on. Yeah, there you go. (0:18:10) Al: And you don’t have to worry about it not being funded because you didn’t support it, (0:18:14) Al: because it’s already funded. Assuming 90% of people don’t pull out. Because you can, (0:18:16) Kev: yeah fair I guess (0:18:20) Kev: yeah that would yeah (0:18:21) Al: but they won’t. 2,000 people have backed it so far. Fair. (0:18:24) Kev: i’ll wait i’ll wait to see because I need I want to see more (0:18:29) Kev: about the game I guess like how is (0:18:32) Al: Well there’s another good reason to wait, as well as the Kickstarters only for a Steam key. (0:18:39) Al: He’s not promising it’ll be on Switch, and it’ll be later on. So if you want Switch, (0:18:41) Kev: but yeah yeah probably and and there’s (0:18:45) Al: don’t back it, because that’ll just be a separate thing later on. Which I’m going to guess he will (0:18:51) Al: do it, because Littlewood went to Switch, and you know, people like Switch. (0:18:58) Kev: money when people like things (0:18:59) Al: That too. That too. That too. What I find really fun about this is that he’s doing the thing where (0:19:09) Al: he’s trying to create a save file, because he has both versions of it. So it’s a fun little nod to (0:19:12) Kev: Yeah. (0:19:23) Al: how Pokemon games do that, but without actually the negatives of it. (0:19:26) Kev: yeah bless you um that yeah that like it’s kind of dumb to think about that it wasn’t (0:19:34) Al: Yeah. (0:19:35) Kev: part like but I just never even considered that we had the technology we’re here this is the future (0:19:42) Al: Here’s a secret for you. The actual, the Pokemon games are both versions as well. They just (0:19:43) Kev: but um but that is a very cool thing to do um yeah yeah (0:19:51) Al: have a config in them that says which version is and you can’t change it. Because of course (0:19:54) Kev: Yeah, I forgot about that. You’re totally right. (0:19:56) Kev: That’s super true. (0:20:01) Al: they are. Why would they actually make two different games? It’s the same game. (0:20:02) Kev: Yeah, you’re super right. (0:20:06) Kev: Good stuff. Good times. (0:20:10) Kev: But yeah, very cool, though, that he does that. (0:20:12) Kev: And you can trade with yourself. (0:20:14) Kev: You can become that one penny arcade panel. (0:20:18) Al: Yeah. (0:20:18) Al: Yeah. (0:20:23) Al: I don’t actually know if it has trees. (0:20:28) Kev: I read somewhere you could trade between your save files. (0:20:31) Al: trade Mons and interact with your other save files through trading version (0:20:36) Al: exclusive Mons items and turn decorations player will be players will (0:20:39) Al: be able to 100% their save files in either version there will also be unique (0:20:43) Al: game mechanics that utilize characters from different saves like battling your (0:20:46) Al: character from past playthroughs and that’s cool so it’s try interact with (0:20:51) Al: your other save files that yeah so that means you don’t you can just do it on (0:20:54) Al: one one device as well you don’t even have to have two devices to save which (0:20:56) Kev: Yeah, mhm (0:20:58) Al: which is probably actually simpler than trading between (0:21:02) Al: devices, right? Because he can just modify the saves on this one thing (0:21:02) Kev: Yeah, oh it probably actually is (0:21:10) Al: rather than dealing with that inter-device communication. (0:21:12) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s a very good point. Yeah, it’s shocker. It’s actually easier. (0:21:14) Al: It’s very clever. (0:21:19) Al: It’s quite cool. I like it. I’m looking forward to this. And I think I like the (0:21:25) Al: monster designs. Almost said Pokemon. The monster designs. (0:21:28) Kev: Hahaha, she’s already getting in their crosshairs we go we care (0:21:31) Al: Yeah, you play as Gary. (0:21:37) Kev: Yeah (0:21:40) Kev: You’re playing as as Gary Powell, I believe his name is (0:21:41) Al: The monster designs are fun and unique, but also feel distinct from other monster collecting games. (0:21:54) Kev: Yeah, it’s such, I say this as someone who’s fooled around with trying to design fake mods like it’s so difficult because the bar is so clear and and you know, it’s set. So, you know, how do you stand out but there’s there’s some fun ones. There’s definitely some fun ones in here. (0:22:19) Kev: I like, I like little shark guy. (0:22:22) Kev: That’s a whooper though, that’s still just a whooper. (0:22:24) Kev: I’m sorry. (laughs) (0:22:26) Al: shh. There’s also collecting and crafting and magic, which is, is, oh, I like it. Some (0:22:37) Al: people don’t, but I like collecting and crafting in games. (0:22:40) Kev: Yeah, let’s let’s see how it goes. The animations. It looks good because it’ll very much. It’s fascinating because he got the aesthetic of the, you know, the Game Boy color, Pokemon games, but the animation looks pretty dynamic and fluid and it’s nice. You can move your house and stuff around. (0:23:02) Al: Yes, yes, town building mechanics, like in Littlewood. I haven’t seen anything as to (0:23:08) Al: whether they have terraforming or not, because Littlewood did, but that feels a more complicated (0:23:15) Al: thing to do in a game where you’re like exploring and catching monsters and stuff like that. (0:23:18) Kev: Yeah. (0:23:22) Al: So maybe it won’t have terraforming, but there is at least some level of town customisation. (0:23:27) Kev: yeah the four team battles that’s a fun little thing that’s different and then (0:23:34) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m looking forward to this and trying very hard not to buy the physical (0:23:36) Kev: you make carts (0:23:43) Al: edition of both versions because I don’t need it. (0:23:47) Al: I don’t need it. (0:23:48) Kev: Is that, are you sure? (0:23:50) Al: I don’t need it. (0:23:50) Kev: You don’t need it, no, but it’d be nice. (0:23:52) Al: I don’t need it. (0:23:53) Al: All right. (0:23:55) Al: I’m sure we’ll talk about this game much more in the future. (0:23:58) Al: Next we have the most pointless piece of news ever, but I’m going to talk about it anyway. (0:24:02) Al: outbound the campervan game have said that (0:24:04) Al: we’re going to have some news on the 10th of April. (0:24:06) Al: That’s it. We’re done. Great. (0:24:07) Kev: It’s it’s the teaser for two days before the trade the teaser trailer that movies do now (0:24:12) Al: It’s news about news, it’s an announcement of an announcement. (0:24:14) Kev: Yeah (0:24:17) Kev: Yeah, I’m excited. Oh (0:24:18) Al: And it’s not even before the next episode. (0:24:20) Al: We have to wait two episodes to talk about this. (0:24:22) Al: What is this nonsense? (0:24:27) Al: Anyway, will it be a release date? (0:24:30) Al: That’s my guess. (0:24:31) Kev: Probably boy be you better be something good if it’s not (0:24:38) Al: Well, so I don’t think it will actually be the release date, (0:24:40) Al: because the alpha isn’t even out yet, which is coming in April. (0:24:42) Kev: Well, I bet I meant the release date for the alpha (0:24:45) Al: That’s so anticlimactic, if it’s that. Like, I don’t care. Go away. (0:24:49) Al: Come back to me with a finished game. Come on. (0:24:54) Al: We have some release dates from the Nintendo Switch Direct. (0:24:59) Al: Fantasy Life I The Girl Who Steals Time is coming on the 21st of May. (0:25:04) Kev: I’m so excited. My brothers excited fantasy lives. There’s a lot going on here (0:25:11) Kev: Like are you familiar with the original fantasy life at all? (0:25:15) Kev: okay, um (0:25:16) Kev: so the original conception for (0:25:19) Kev: the original fantasy life was a (0:25:22) Kev: single-player (0:25:24) Kev: Non-violent MMO that was like literally the the pitch for it (0:25:30) Kev: um and it uh they didn’t go the non-violent thing in the end they ended the combat (0:25:34) Kev: classes but uh but they did keep the single-player aspect it’s a single-player (0:25:41) Kev: MMO basically with different classes and you can switch between them and you do different (0:25:45) Kev: things and yada yada it’s very gr- and very grindy sort of game like MMOs um uh but uh (0:25:54) Kev: very cute very charming by level five the professor late in the okai watch people (0:25:59) Kev: they’re very good at writing so uh very enjoyable game in my opinion um Calvin (0:26:04) Kev: my brother plays a lot too um so you know we got a lot of mileage into that um and but they’re (0:26:09) Kev: really ramping it up here because we’re going way past the the MMO skeleton um we we we got (0:26:16) Al: Yeah, this is a life seminar, basically. (0:26:18) Kev: basically because you you’re now and there were some aspects of that you could decor your house (0:26:22) Kev: but now we’re terraforming we got the animal crossing terraforming in here which is wild to me (0:26:28) Kev: um I don’t even know how that’s gonna fit in like i’m sure you can (0:26:34) Kev: terraform the whole world it’s probably just like maybe your home plot or something but uh (0:26:39) Al: Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, uh, what’s it called? What was the game? Um, the Dragon (0:26:47) Al: Quest was a Dragon Quest game builders. Yeah. They, you could terraform the whole world (0:26:48) Kev: Builders yeah (0:26:51) Al: there. Couldn’t you possible. (0:26:52) Kev: Yeah, you could oh man, that’d be wild if he could (0:26:56) Kev: Maybe I it’s possible either way fantasy life sick. I’m looking forward to it. It’s coming real soon. May 21st (0:27:04) Al: The Wandering Village is coming to Switch on the 17th of July, so that’s cool. (0:27:10) Al: I still haven’t played this game. (0:27:12) Kev: Yeah, me neither (0:27:14) Kev: Will I now I don’t know maybe (0:27:18) Kev: Well idea you’re playing on a big dinosaur (0:27:21) Al: And Luz Lagoon have announced that their Switch release is coming in the summer of this year. (0:27:28) Kev: to have alloy at home over the summer now (0:27:34) Al: Yeah, so that’s all of the news about games that we already know about. (0:27:39) Al: So we’re now going to talk about new games that we didn’t know about, (0:27:43) Al: and all of these were announced in the Nintendo Direct. So here we go. (0:27:51) Kev: Let’s do this! (0:27:51) Al: Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar. This is a remake of Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar. (0:28:02) Al: If you don’t understand why a Harvest Moon game is now called Story of Seasons, (0:28:06) Al: I don’t have time to explain that to you just now. It is how it is, right? Harvest Moon is now Story (0:28:08) Kev: that’s that’s that long and short of it yeah (0:28:12) Al: of Seasons, and Harvest Moon is not Story of Seasons. It wouldn’t be confusing if they just (0:28:19) Al: renamed it. (0:28:21) Al: The confusing thing is that Harvest Moon still exists, that’s what’s confusing about it. (0:28:25) Kev: Yeah, yeah, and the worst part is it works, right? Like the other Harvest Moon series, (0:28:34) Kev: it’s still kicking. They’re still pumping stuff out. (0:28:38) Al: So, this is coming in August, the 27th of August, a little birthday present for me. (0:28:46) Al: I’m excited because, I mean, this is one that I never played and the graphics, I think this (0:28:53) Al: looks gorgeous. (0:28:54) Al: It looks, it’s kind of similar to “Story of Seasons - Pioneers of All the Times” graphics, (0:28:58) Al: but it’s definitely nicer, I think. (0:29:01) Al: Yeah, I like the look of it. (0:29:05) Al: I guess when you get close up to the characters, they look very much like. (0:29:08) Al: I’m not a huge fan of how close up you get in those discussions, but when you’re zoomed out and you’re seeing the world and it looks really fun, I need to figure out what the deal is with the traveling in this game, because it looks like someone has a paraglider. (0:29:28) Kev: it very much looks like the the Korok Lee from Wind Waker that you’re flying around with. (0:29:34) Al: Yeah. (0:29:36) Kev: I don’t know. There is you’ve got your cows so you know all the base is covered. We’ve got the (0:29:38) Al: Looks like there’s a good amount of character customization. (0:29:46) Kev: bazaar thing itself is an interesting mechanic right the the Moneco night market style set your (0:29:53) Kev: stuff and sell your wares. (0:29:56) Al: Yeah, we’ll see. I worry it’ll feel like I’m not on… (0:30:03) Al: Maneko, I quite enjoyed because of how fast paced and how limited it was. (0:30:08) Kev: Uh-huh. (0:30:09) Al: And I think it worked really well. (0:30:12) Al: I’m worried I wouldn’t enjoy it in this one because it feels much more frequent and slower. (0:30:16) Kev: Uh-huh. (0:30:20) Kev: That’s very possible. I understand your concern. (0:30:24) Al: Yeah, this is 100% just a paraglider. He jumps off a cliff and he’s got the paraglider. (0:30:31) Al: Fine, sounds great. Why have we not had that in other three seasons games? (0:30:36) Kev: I mean, I don’t think– has there ever been a need? (0:30:38) Al: What’s this nonsense? (0:30:42) Al: There’s always a need. Trio of Towns did a fun thing where you could jump, (0:30:46) Al: and you could jump up things. I really liked the movement in that game, and then they kind of just (0:30:52) Kev: Hmm (0:30:53) Al: just stop doing that as well. (0:30:54) Kev: That’s wild (0:30:55) Al: Yeah, I would just like, I don’t even care necessarily about it speeding things up. (0:31:01) Al: I just find it fun to be running around and jumping at the same time. (0:31:04) Kev: Yeah, you know that’s very fair. That’s very fair (0:31:05) Al: But it’s just fun to do that. (0:31:09) Al: The blurb for this. (0:31:11) Al: Searching for a peaceful farm life? (0:31:13) Al: A fresh mountain breeze and your own market stall? (0:31:16) Al: Look no further than the friendly community of Zephyr Town. (0:31:18) Al: Here you’ll grow crops and raise animals. (0:31:20) Al: Get to know the locals and sell your wares at the town’s bazaar (0:31:25) Al: to its farmer glory. (0:31:26) Al: Everything is always being restored to its farmer glory in these games. (0:31:29) Kev: always always good girl yeah basically oh that’s story of seasons like it’s it’s (0:31:32) Al: Make Zephyr Town great again. (0:31:42) Kev: you know it’s it’s the standard it’s gonna be good like standard for a reason right like (0:31:50) Al: OK, so it says use windmills to create new products to sell and effortlessly travel (0:31:57) Al: across the town on your glider. (0:31:59) Al: I have a question. Do they not understand (0:32:01) Al: how windmills work and they are implying that the windmills are creating the wind (0:32:05) Al: for you to travel with? I don’t know. (0:32:08) Al: That’s what it sounds like to me. (0:32:09) Kev: Maybe, you know, that’s how it works now. (0:32:11) Al: It feels like it’s a cause and effect (0:32:14) Al: sentence, but that doesn’t make any sense, right? (0:32:16) Al: that use the wind for both of those things but not the wind. (0:32:20) Al: I mean, Tree of Towns was a 3DS game and this was a DS game, so I guess maybe it sounds (0:32:28) Kev: Probably from what you describe. I’m gonna guess yes (0:32:34) Kev: Yeah (0:32:35) Al: like they were continuing that from this to Tree of Towns. (0:32:37) Kev: That’s what I’m thinking (0:32:40) Al: Well, I’m going to buy it, right? (0:32:44) Al: I’m not going to pretend. (0:32:47) Al: The question is, will I buy the… (0:32:56) Kev: The Deluxe Mega Collector’s Rare Edition. (0:33:06) Al: platforms, which retailer, Amazon Boo, is the only retailer, 65 pounds. (0:33:14) Kev: That doesn’t sound that bad. (0:33:15) Al: The standard is 45 pounds, so it’s 20 pounds difference for the limited edition. (0:33:22) Al: The limited edition doesn’t mention what it actually does. (0:33:25) Kev: I was about to ask but wait was that included is in cow does it include a cow plush at all because that’s (0:33:31) Kev: That’s the real money maker (0:33:32) Al: I had this in a link, and I now no longer have it in the link, and I’m really annoyed (0:33:36) Al: about that. Here we go. I’ve got it now. Fantastic. Fantastic. The limited edition copy includes (0:33:46) Al: The Game, a plush Suffolk sheep, so not a cow, but a Suffolk sheep, a poster, a physical (0:33:54) Kev: No, that’s alright. (0:33:57) Al: art book with over 115 pages of cosy art. Why is the art cosy? I don’t know. (0:34:02) Kev: That’s a lot of art. That’s a pretty decent sized art book. (0:34:02) Al: And an original soundtrack CD. The digital deluxe version includes the trunk of transformation (0:34:07) Kev: Not bad overall. (0:34:14) Al: DLC, and the super deluxe digital edition includes a digital art book and soundtrack (0:34:19) Al: app in addition to the items from the deluxe version. And that is the same cost as the (0:34:25) Al: physical limited edition. Will the physical limited edition not come with the DLC? That (0:34:31) Al: That feels weird. (0:34:32) Kev: that’d be wild nope you don’t know nothing (0:34:33) Al: We don’t know anything about that DLC. (0:34:38) Al: Well, I guess we’ll find out in time. (0:34:41) Kev: yeah all right the plush questions answer that’s all I needed though i’m probably not gonna get (0:34:47) Kev: it right it’s like oh yeah or I mean the physical whatever edition will I get the game so yeah maybe (0:34:48) Al: Fair, fair, fair, fair, maybe, maybe. (0:34:55) Kev: I do enjoy story of seasons (0:34:58) Al: Next we have Witchbrooke. (0:35:01) Al: Discover magic and mystery in Witchbrooke, a spellbinding witch life sim (0:35:04) Al: for up to four players. (0:35:06) Al: Start your life as the newest resident of witch in the bustling seaside (0:35:11) Al: city of Mossport. (0:35:12) Al: Make friends, find love and discover a world filled with wonder and charm on (0:35:16) Al: the road to graduation and beyond. (0:35:19) Al: Look, you can, it’s a 2D witch game where you can write a broom. (0:35:22) Al: That’s, do I need to tell you anymore? (0:35:22) Kev: I was about to say finally Cozy Games and Witchcraft at long last! (0:35:29) Al: I don’t really care about the witchcraft part of it. (0:35:31) Al: What I care about is the broom. (0:35:33) Al: I’ve, if I can write a broom in your game, I’m probably going to buy it. (0:35:36) Al: I want to be able to fly. (0:35:39) Al: Just let me fly. (0:35:40) Kev: yeah that’s a pretty good one um I like the graphics they’re going for a (0:35:47) Kev: 2d isometric like pixel gba ds era graphic style I like it um uh well I play it I don’t know (0:35:58) Kev: because I got a slot but but it looks well done very true very (0:36:01) Al: Will I buy it? Probably. Will I play it? (0:36:03) Al: We’ll see. Those are two different questions. (0:36:10) Kev: true um (0:36:12) Al: um yeah no I i I i i’m I think it’s I think it looks great and is getting a lot of buzz online (0:36:17) Kev: yeah no it looks it has all your your staples and all the all the good stuff you want your marriage (0:36:24) Kev: and your your relationships and crafting and things (0:36:30) Al: Apparently, this game was first announced seven years ago, and then they’ve never said anything about it ever again. (0:36:36) Kev: That’s wild I didn’t know that that’s wild (0:36:40) Al: Someone in the YouTube comments says, “7 years of radio silence for it (0:36:44) Al: finally to surface on a Nintendo Direct.” (0:36:48) Kev: and is a silk song of an earlier generation. Yeah, Jack. (0:36:54) Al: Yeah, I really like, I really like the graphics. (0:36:59) Al: Tomodachi Life, not Tamagotchi Life, Tomodachi Life. (0:37:03) Kev: That’s that’s another one (0:37:08) Al: I googled, I started googling Tamagotchi Plaza, which is the the other game we’re about. (0:37:14) Kev: Yeah, and you discovered a whole list of new episodes, let’s talk about that vape sometime. (0:37:16) Al: Hey Google, shut up. (0:37:20) Al: And I, yeah, one of them was Tamagotchi life. (0:37:24) Al: Someone just doesn’t know how to spell Tamagotchi, right? (0:37:27) Al: They heard it and thought it was Tamagotchi life, or just confusing the games. (0:37:33) Al: Anyway. (0:37:34) Al: Tamagotchi life. (0:37:35) Al: No. (0:37:36) Al: Yes, that’s what we’re talking about just now. (0:37:37) Al: Tamagotchi life. (0:37:38) Al: I got confused myself, because I wasn’t sure which one we were talking about. (0:37:42) Al: After over 10 years, Tamagotchi life is back and coming to Nintendo Switch. (0:37:46) Al: So this is like me, Animal Crossing, right? (0:37:50) Kev: of sorts gets a bit more wild than that it’s more like somewhere between Animal (0:37:58) Kev: Crossing and the Sims I would say that’s it’s closer to the sims I think even (0:38:04) Kev: because you don’t actually control a character you’re just watching the the (0:38:10) Kev: drama that ensues when you put all your friends and me’s and oh you not play (0:38:12) Al: Oh, you’re not actually controlling any of these characters. (0:38:17) Kev: Like Tomodachi? (0:38:18) Al: I have not, no, no. (0:38:18) Kev: Life or familiar? (0:38:20) Kev: Okay, yes, no, no you are not controlling the characters or okay to be fair. I’m not played myself (0:38:24) Al: Not directly controlling them. (0:38:26) Kev: Yeah, not directly controlling them (0:38:26) Al: You mean like in the Sims, you like can tell them what. (0:38:30) Kev: Okay, yes, um I to be fair (0:38:32) Kev: I’m not played myself, but I’ve watched my sister and Sami familiar with the the thing and it’s more or less (0:38:37) Kev: Yes, just you have a whole bunch of me’s you’re letting them into (0:38:41) Kev: You letting them loose into the house and watching all the hijinks that ensues as they do things as they if all in love (0:38:50) Kev: Become friends throw (0:38:53) Kev: Sports balls at each other. I don’t know (0:38:56) Kev: It’s a zany game and this one’s turning up the zany up to 11. We got we got giant people (0:39:03) Al: Yes, that was very funny at the end. It’s just like the person running towards the camera and (0:39:08) Al: then they just get bigger and bigger and bigger. You’re like “oh my word, what’s happening here?” (0:39:09) Kev: Bigger, yeah (0:39:14) Al: I legitimately thought this was just like Animal Crossing. I’m now watching a gameplay video (0:39:17) Kev: No, no, no (0:39:20) Al: of Tamadachi Life from the 3DS and I have no idea what’s happening. (0:39:23) Kev: Yeah, that’s that sounds correct. I don’t think you you’re even if you were (0:39:28) Al: Is any of this gameplay or is this just like a film? Are we just watching a really weird (0:39:33) Kev: a little bit maybe a little bit, but it’s (0:39:33) Al: film? Is this like The Sims Cross with WarioWare? Because it feels like some of it’s like minigames. (0:39:40) Kev: Maybe a little bit (0:39:44) Kev: And it’s a little bit some stuff will pop up you never know in the Tomodachi, huh? (0:39:48) Al: What is happening in this game? A pretzel appeared. What will Big Bad Pig do? What is this? (0:39:56) Al: I’m so confused. Yes, now I need to buy this game. (0:39:59) Kev: Well, aren’t you curious that’s (0:40:03) Al: Anyway, it’s coming next year. This is like an actual Nintendo game though, right? This isn’t (0:40:03) Kev: See you got to know what happens with the pretzel (0:40:09) Kev: You (0:40:11) Al: like third party. Nintendo make this. It’s coming in 2026. People are excited. I’m confused. (0:40:11) Kev: Yeah, it is (0:40:14) Kev: Stage on smash (0:40:25) Al: I clearly completely misunderstood what this game was and I am so confused. Okay, look. (0:40:33) Al: We’ll talk about it I’m sure. Why are these characters throwing items at each other? (0:40:35) Kev: ha ha ha ha oh i’m excited oh why why not they might be playing games they might be if you (0:40:44) Kev: think it’s unsure you have to play the game to get your answers it’s the only way to know could be a (0:40:50) Kev: talent competition possibilities are endless yeah toma means friend I think in japanese i’ve heard (0:40:52) Al: Tomodachi means “friends” and Dachi is plural, so it’s “friends”. (0:41:02) Kev: yeah okay that’s fruit so yeah (0:41:06) Kev: put you all your oh man you know what this means we can put all the I other ths hosts (0:41:13) Kev: into one tamodachi life house and watch the drama that will unfold (0:41:18) Al: Oh so you like actually get your “me’s” from other people. (0:41:21) Kev: you can yeah or yeah or I i mean I don’t know how (0:41:22) Al: Oh my word. (0:41:24) Al: “The game follows the day-to-day interactions of “me” characters,” referred to as the Islanders. (0:41:29) Al: “They build relationships, solve problems, and interact with the player.” (0:41:32) Kev: The possibilities are endless. (0:41:34) Al: Oh goodness sake, I hate that I have to buy this game now. (0:41:39) Al: It looks like it’s very tied into StreetPass, so how are they going to replace that? (0:41:44) Kev: I don’t know. That is the big question because obviously, I guess so. I guess so because obviously, (0:41:46) Al: Just internet connection. (0:41:48) Al: And I guess, like, you can connect and share your Miis that way. (0:41:54) Kev: yeah, the 3DS was a lot more suited for me stuff and that sort of connectivity. I don’t know how (0:42:02) Kev: they’re gonna handle it, but we gotta stay tuned. Just wait. We’ll find out. Somebody will do the (0:42:10) Kev: the day again by which I may meet somebody who’ll play. (0:42:14) Al: All right last but not least in the games we have Tamagotchi Plaza not to be confused with (0:42:20) Al: Tamagotchi Life. The fact that they announced both these games on in the same direct is just so mean. (0:42:20) Kev: Yeah, no, it’s great, it’s what I want. (0:42:32) Al: Although I feel like we knew about Tamagotchi Plaza and see I’m doing it again Tamagotchi Plaza. (0:42:34) Kev: Probably, maybe, I don’t know. (0:42:38) Al: I think we knew that this game existed I feel like but not a lot about it. (0:42:44) Al: Let me check. Oh no maybe not no the internet does seem to think it was this was the first (0:42:49) Al: announcement of it. It’s another shop simulator game but with Tamagotchi characters. (0:42:57) Kev: Yeah, that’s all I need. (0:43:00) Kev: I’ve never had a Tamagotchi in my life. (0:43:04) Kev: There’s some dope ones out there. (0:43:07) Kev: The Digimon crossover ones are good. (0:43:07) Al: I yeah yeah I love I love Tamagotchis as well not actually using them but I (0:43:13) Al: like I used to use them as a child but now I just collect some um I have a Pac-Man one (0:43:19) Al: and I have a Gugitama one um (0:43:20) Kev: Ooh, where’s this updated shadow labyrinth? (0:43:26) Al: um but I don’t I don’t think I want to play another shop game (0:43:30) Al: do you have to do the shop but I think so it seems like it’s pretty core (0:43:32) Kev: You do you must (0:43:37) Al: in June 27th of June for the first time in the series an offline two-player mode is now available (0:43:39) Kev: Be excited (0:43:43) Kev: No, why did it know there were other times in the series, okay? Oh (0:43:43) Al: collaborate or compete with other (0:43:49) Al: yes it’s the newest in the Tamagotchi corner shop series (0:43:53) Kev: Okay shows me what I know how much apparently (0:43:58) Al: over a hundred Tamagotchi in total. (0:44:00) Kev: I (0:44:03) Kev: Okay, good. I didn’t I didn’t even consider the number would be an issue, but all right. I just thought it was just like (0:44:08) Al: Well it’s not, because there’s a hundred of them, it’s not an issue. Yeah I don’t think (0:44:13) Al: I’m gonna play this game but I’m excited for those who are excited by it. Oh you can be (0:44:13) Kev: I’m not I (0:44:16) Kev: Mean I I heard Mike gets cheers of joy in the distance is watching the direct. So, you know, oh (0:44:23) Al: a dentist. You can run an afternoon tea shop. Okay so this is when they say shop simulator, (0:44:25) Kev: Hold a hold the phone now or talk (0:44:31) Kev: Oh, that’s cute. (0:44:34) Kev: I thought… (0:44:35) Al: This is just a bunch of minigames. (0:44:37) Kev: Okay, yeah, yeah, you’re… (0:44:38) Al: You’re not actually have to get the stuff and stock the shop. (0:44:41) Al: You just go and like run the shop. (0:44:41) Kev: It’s not Grand… (0:44:43) Kev: It’s not… (0:44:44) Kev: It’s not Tamagotchi Grand Bazaar. (0:44:46) Kev: You can… (0:44:46) Al: Well, now I’m interested. (0:44:47) Kev: Live your dreams. (0:44:49) Al: Make the tone vibrant and full of life. (0:44:51) Kev: Restore it to its former glory! (0:44:54) Kev: Now we’re talking! (0:44:58) Al: Probably still not going to play it, but. (0:45:00) Kev: I probably will not either. (0:45:01) Al: More more interested in it now than I. (0:45:03) Kev: Unless they get those crossovers like the Godzilla and the Digimians. (0:45:06) Al: Look, look. (0:45:08) Al: Luke, Luke, Luke. If Gudetama’s in it, then yes. I will play it. (0:45:11) Kev: Nah, see, that’s what I’m talking about. (0:45:15) Al: We need our Sanrio characters. Oh wait, that’s just… (0:45:16) Kev: Dope. (0:45:17) Kev: Yeah. (0:45:20) Kev: Panda to our brand. (0:45:21) Al: That’s just Hello Kitty Island adventure then. (0:45:27) Al: Oh goodness, we’re nearly there. We’re nearly done with the news (0:45:31) Al: and the episode, but we have one more thing to talk about. (0:45:35) Al: Kevin. Nexus Mods. (0:45:38) Al: A website for mods for games. (0:45:42) Kev: They are unleashing the dogs of war. (0:45:44) Al: They have and they’ve finally announced their open source cross-platform Nexus Mods app, (0:45:51) Al: which includes support for Stardew Valley. Now this is exciting because this is a very easy way (0:45:59) Al: to add mods to games compared to how you previously had to add mods to games. It is (0:46:06) Al: is an app that shows you (0:46:08) Al: what games you can add mods to, and it allows you to search for mods and add them with (0:46:12) Al: the click of a button, which is excellent. Do you know what’s even more excellent about (0:46:15) Kev: Yeah, what is tell me (0:46:16) Al: it? It has support for Linux, including the Steam Deck, which has been even harder to (0:46:21) Kev: Oh (0:46:23) Al: do mods on because they didn’t really have any apps to help with the process before now. (0:46:28) Kev: Oh, that is exciting. (0:46:30) Al: So there you go. That’s exciting. So it has support for Stardew Valley as of now, which (0:46:38) Al: listeners of this podcast will be interested in that. They’re also working on support for (0:46:43) Al: Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord. I’ve never heard of that game. (0:46:50) Kev: Okay, I don’t know what those are (0:46:52) Kev: Where’s the harvest season host as the start of NPC mod? Where’s that mod? (0:46:58) Al: Well, someone just needs to make the mod then. Nexus mods don’t actually make the mods, t

(0:00:34) Al: My name is Al, and we are here today to talk about cottagecore games. (0:00:35) Dalan: And my name is Dallen (0:00:43) Al: I honestly thought it was Dalen, not Dalen. (0:00:46) Dalan: Uh it that I do get that a lot it is it is Dallen (0:00:49) Dalan: Uh, it’s mostly the way it’s spelled. I think that confuses people. Uh, it is more common to have double li (0:00:53) Al: » Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that one. Not spelling, either. (0:00:56) Dalan: Instead of the two a’s so that’s that’s the main reason (0:01:03) Dalan: I have met… one person who spells… (0:01:05) Dalan: it the same as me and that was in Utah where there are about 50 people named (0:01:10) Dalan: Dalin Persuarian. It’s not quite that populous but yeah. (0:01:12) Al: Right, okay, so I see the issue, I see why it’s not a name that I am very much aware (0:01:20) Dalan: Yes. It’s… there is a particular culture. Yeah. So I’m always surprised finding (0:01:20) Al: of if it’s within a particular community, very prevalent within a certain area of the (0:01:24) Al: United States. Yeah, they do exist outside of there. It’s funny, because sometimes I (0:01:28) Dalan: people outside that place who have the same name and I’m like come on. They do (0:01:35) Dalan: because it is the name other people have. (0:01:38) Al: only realise how people’s names are pronounced when they come on the podcast. (0:01:41) Dalan: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Nami, I had that problem for a while. Yeah. I have to remind myself (0:01:42) Al: It was the same with Nami, who of course, that’s not how I pronounced his name for a long time. (0:01:49) Dalan: sometimes. Sorry, Nami. (0:01:52) Al: Regularly, regularly. (0:01:53) Dalan: Yeah. (0:01:54) Al: Anyway, welcome, Dallin, to the podcast again. This is your second episode. (0:01:57) Dalan: Thank you. Second time. Only took like a little bit over a year, I think. I was (0:02:04) Dalan: here. (0:02:05) Dalan: 2023 August ish or September I want to say it was fishing month yep yep because I was the only (0:02:08) Al: It was the fishing month, wasn’t it? (0:02:12) Dalan: other person who owned a play date that you do yeah yeah I have not touched that in a long time (0:02:14) Al: Oh, that’s it. Yeah, we did the Playdate one. That’s what it was. That was good. (0:02:20) Al: We should see if there are any more Playdate games to play. (0:02:23) Dalan: that would be fun yeah I’ll figure out one where I put it and then to uh charge it I brought it (0:02:28) Al: Yeah, I need to charge mine up. Thankfully, mine is here. I have it in my hand because it just (0:02:30) Dalan: I think I brought it with me - oh, that’s nice. (0:02:33) Al: sits on my desk. I know where it is, but it’s not charged because I don’t have the dock that (0:02:36) Dalan: Mmm, the dock still… probably not, no. (0:02:38) Al: I have to release any more. (0:02:40) Dalan: I, uh, I think I took it with me to the Japan trip I went on this summer. (0:02:45) Dalan: Or, I can’t remember if I did and then never used it or if I was like, “Yeah, no, I’m not gonna use that and left it home.” (0:02:46) Al: hmm fair enough anyway so dallan is here to talk to me about a game that I have definitely (0:02:51) Dalan: What did it do? Either way, I did not play it. (0:03:01) Al: not played and a name that i’m definitely going to mix up the order of words in the name because (0:03:01) Dalan: Yes. (0:03:06) Dalan: That’s okay. (0:03:08) Al: it is definitely the wrong order but this game is called honkai impact third right it’s (0:03:13) Dalan: That is correct. (0:03:16) Al: not third impact it’s impact third is it the third impact game (0:03:17) Dalan: No, because, well, no. (0:03:24) Dalan: It is the third Hong Kai game maybe, kind of. (0:03:27) Al: maybe interesting (0:03:30) Dalan: We’ll get, I’ll go into that a little bit about how crazy that all is. (0:03:31) Al: yeah we’ll talk about we’ll talk about that when we talk about it (0:03:36) Al: for some reason we’re going to talk about a honkai game uh we’ll (0:03:39) Dalan: I’m as confused as you are, listeners. (0:03:42) Dalan: But, you know, slow, I did, I did, I didn’t think you would take me up on it. (0:03:43) Al: You suggested it, not me. (0:03:46) Al: You said it. (0:03:47) Dalan: But there is enough to talk about. (0:03:49) Dalan: So I, and I will be trying to focus mostly just on the farming stuff. (0:03:54) Dalan: Because there are many things I could blab about. (0:03:57) Dalan: And I need you to hold me back. (0:04:00) Al: I mean, look, I’ll be honest, if someone comes to me and says, “How about a podcast (0:04:04) Al: episode on this?” and it even tangentially connects to the podcast, I will say yes, (0:04:10) Al: because as I’ve said before, the hardest part of this podcast is not the editing, (0:04:15) Al: it’s not the podcasting, it’s not the news, it is not the actual recording, (0:04:20) Al: it is figuring out which episode is going to be which. (0:04:24) Dalan: I’ll take a note of it. I have a couple of games that I’ve played recently that I think could fit into that, so we’ll also see if those will come up in future episodes. (0:04:36) Dalan: Do we want to talk about what we’ve been up to lately then? (0:04:36) Al: it’s fine. Yeah, let’s do it. What have you been up to? (0:04:40) Dalan: Yeah, so I am trying to enjoy the last pieces of my holidays before I go back to the college grind to have some other stuff I’ve been working on. (0:04:54) Dalan: So most of the games I’m writing are kind of like last week, but I’ve played a little bit this week. (0:05:00) Dalan: I have obviously been playing Honkai games because those are relevant to what we’re talking about. (0:05:08) Dalan: I also started Potioncraft recently because during the holidays we remembered the family steam-sharing thing got updated, and I guess one of my siblings bought it at some point. (0:05:20) Dalan: So I’ve been playing that. Are you familiar with Potioncraft at all? (0:05:22) Al: And I think I’ve heard of it, I don’t know if I’ve, I don’t know if I’ve actually. (0:05:26) Dalan: Right. (0:05:28) Dalan: Yeah, I find it a pretty relaxing game. (0:05:32) Dalan: There were a couple nights where I was just kind of playing it an hour each night before bed. I could see myself kind of continuing that. (0:05:40) Dalan: It’s basically a game where you make potions, but the way you do that is interesting, where you basically have this map that you’re moving around your little potion on. (0:05:54) Dalan: You’re putting in different ingredients that have set patterns, and so you’re trying to put in the right ingredients to get to the location on the map you want to in order to get the potion. (0:06:06) Dalan: And so it’s mostly that gameplay and then balancing that with how do I get more materials to make my potions and then selling them to customers and stuff. (0:06:16) Dalan: Pretty relaxed. I think I made it to like day eight or something. There’s a progress system, but it’s basically just like, “Have you made these kinds of potions?” (0:06:26) Dalan: “Did you discover being able to do this thing?” So it’s pretty open, I’d say. (0:06:30) Al: I like the look of the graphics, it’s very distinct. (0:06:34) Dalan: It’s very… Yes, it’s got a nice feel to it. I think they did just have an update, which I was surprised by. I think this past December, like last month, I’m not certain. (0:06:46) Dalan: It seemed like it was what it said on the store page when I looked it up. (0:06:48) Al: But yeah, it’s almost like it’s on like old parchment paper, it’s like kind of CPR based, (0:06:54) Al: just I really like the look of the farming looks like it could be fun. (0:06:54) Dalan: Yeah. There is a bit of farming, yes. (0:07:00) Al: It looks very simple. It’s basically just it’s more gardening, I guess, (0:07:02) Dalan: Yes. Yeah, it’s basically like you get your materials for the day and then you water them every day, etc. (0:07:04) Al: rather than farming, right? You’re planting. Yeah. (0:07:12) Dalan: You can plant new things, and I think they added more functionality to kind of expand it, but I am not at that point in the game. (0:07:20) Al: But what I will say is the actual potion making looks like I would absolutely. (0:07:24) Dalan: I see also just finicky (0:07:28) Al: I do not like the kind of very specific motions and having to do that. (0:07:35) Al: I think that sort of stuff is fun in one very specific circumstance and that’s in party (0:07:40) Al: games. (0:07:41) Dalan: Yeah (0:07:42) Al: So I will play Mario Party and WarioWare anytime somebody suggests them to do these little (0:07:45) Dalan: Right (0:07:48) Al: weird motions and stuff. (0:07:50) Al: I know it’s not like motion control, I know you’re using your mouse, but I don’t want (0:07:55) Al: have to pick up a pestle and mortar it. (0:07:58) Al: And I don’t want to have to stir a cauldron and pour it, no, it’s too detailed and specific (0:08:04) Dalan: All right (0:08:07) Al: for me, I think. (0:08:08) Dalan: Yeah, that’s fair enough I will say like the (0:08:11) Dalan: The fact that you’re able to add water to kind of mess with that that is the core gameplay (0:08:16) Dalan: So if it doesn’t interest you probably none of the quality of life things they’re adding to it are gonna change that for you (0:08:22) Dalan: But there are some nice things where it’s like once you have a potion that you like like if you made really strong version (0:08:28) Dalan: Of a potion and you’re like that was annoying to do but I want to have that a lot (0:08:31) Dalan: you can save it and it will just automatically make it with the increase. (0:08:34) Dalan: for you so it’s more about like kind of exploring the map and discovering new (0:08:39) Dalan: things and then being like oh is there like a more optimized route I can take (0:08:42) Dalan: to this to you know cut back on ingredients or something so but yes (0:08:47) Dalan: that’s there’s some finicky-ness to it so if you don’t enjoy that you probably (0:08:52) Dalan: yeah I don’t think any of the changes are really gonna fix that for you (0:08:54) Al: Yeah, it’s like, it’s like when every time I hear about a new Soulslike game, I’m like, (0:09:01) Dalan: Mm. Right. (0:09:02) Al: sounds great. I’m still not going to like it because I do not like the fundamental part (0:09:07) Al: of the game. And so I’m not going to try it. Except one, there is one that has interested (0:09:10) Dalan: Right. (0:09:13) Al: me and that’s another crab’s treasure. That’s something the only Soulslike that has ever (0:09:15) Dalan: Ah, true. (0:09:18) Dalan: Yeah, I think that one… (0:09:20) Dalan: It’s… I mean just by visuals it seems more friendly, and then also I think like… (0:09:25) Dalan: um… (0:09:26) Dalan: The problem I tend to have with Soul’s likes is that like I want to do (0:09:30) Dalan: a build that works, but it… and for my playstyle, but it feels like a battle to figure out what I enjoy (0:09:36) Dalan: while also (0:09:38) Dalan: trying not to waste all my materials on making some (0:09:40) Dalan: things I won’t like to play, so, a little, a little stressful. (0:09:42) Al: It has a lot more options as well in terms of difficulty and stuff, which I quite like. (0:09:50) Dalan: Mmm, that’s nice. (0:09:51) Al: Not that I’m going to use them necessarily, I’m not going to use them, because I love (0:09:56) Al: how it kind of ties them in in the same way where it’s got like the easy mode is basically (0:10:01) Al: just you have a gun that sits on your head that kills anybody. (0:10:02) Dalan: you’re right that’s good (0:10:04) Al: I love how ridiculous that is. (0:10:05) Al: I’m not going to use that, but having that leads me to liking it more purely because (0:10:10) Al: it allows me for more. (0:10:12) Al: around those options, because there’s just been thought gone into that, which, which then leads (0:10:19) Al: to a game that I’m more likely to like. So it’s not, I don’t know if that’s if that’s obvious enough (0:10:25) Al: how I’m explaining it, but yeah, but I think that the the idea of actually having difficulty options (0:10:32) Al: generally leads to a game being designed more like I would enjoy it. (0:10:36) Dalan: Mm. That makes sense. It’s, uh, having, like, more flexible design or ways to interact with it versus feeling like there’s sort of one path you have to take. (0:10:48) Dalan: Maybe that’s not the right way to put it, but I kind of get what you’re saying. (0:10:49) Al: Yeah, I don’t know. It’s hard to explain. But like, if we just took a, you know, standards (0:10:58) Al: Souls game, like Elden Ring, right? So we take Elden Ring. If you just put a difficulty (0:11:03) Al: level in that, that I don’t think I would enjoy that game, because it’s still the same (0:11:07) Dalan: Right. (0:11:08) Al: game is just easier, right? Like it’s not, I don’t just, I don’t dislike those games (0:11:09) Dalan: Yeah. (0:11:10) Dalan: Yeah, 100%. (0:11:11) Dalan: It’s not built around that. (0:11:14) Al: because they’re hard. I dislike those games because of their whole philosophy. (0:11:19) Al: And it just feels like another crab’s treasure does that differently. (0:11:20) Dalan: Right, 100%. (0:11:25) Al: Anyway, potion craft. (0:11:26) Dalan: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me. (0:11:29) Al: Yeah, maybe. (0:11:29) Dalan: Yep, that’s Potion Craft. (0:11:32) Dalan: I could see that being an episode topic at some point, (0:11:34) Dalan: But anyway, I– (0:11:36) Dalan: Started Warframe recently. Well, that’s maybe– (0:11:40) Dalan: Started is maybe the wrong word. (0:11:42) Dalan: So… (0:11:44) Dalan: This game– Are you familiar with this game at all? (0:11:46) Al: I am not. (0:11:48) Dalan: Okay, Warframe… It’s kind of like– Are you familiar with Destiny? (0:11:53) Al: I am aware of it and I have seen some gameplay. (0:11:56) Dalan: Okay, we’ll do the most basic version. Warframe is Space Ninjas. That’s pretty much the game. (0:12:02) Dalan: You go around space, you fight things with friends, and (0:12:06) Dalan: materials to upgrade your things, and it is a completely for you to play game. (0:12:12) Dalan: All the money you spend is for cosmetics and, like, (0:12:15) Dalan: speeding up timers, which are basically just crafting things. So it’s– (0:12:21) Dalan: Has been going for a long time, so much so that the first time I played it was actually in 2013. (0:12:26) Dalan: And… (0:12:27) Al: Yeah, this game says it was released in March 2013. It was released two days after my first child was born. (0:12:30) Dalan: Yes. (0:12:35) Dalan: Yeah, yeah, and (0:12:35) Al: Yeah. (0:12:36) Dalan: I was solidly still a child at this point. (0:12:40) Dalan: The reason I didn’t stick around with it is, (0:12:43) Dalan: one, it was a bit overwhelming, (0:12:45) Dalan: and I don’t know if my computer could handle it at the time. (0:12:47) Dalan: And two, I believe maybe a week prior, (0:12:50) Dalan: I had told my mother that I was not interested (0:12:53) Dalan: in playing an M-rated game ever, and she hugged me. (0:12:55) Al: Yeah, well, I tell my mom I don’t swear, so. (0:12:56) Dalan: And then this game was M-rated, (0:12:58) Dalan: and I immediately felt strong feelings of guilt (0:13:01) Dalan: for being like, “This is kind of fun.” (0:13:05) Dalan: so I did not return that. (0:13:06) Dalan: I’m playing it on the television, and currently living with family, and no stinks have been raised. (0:13:19) Al: There are other things you do to disappoint them instead, that’s the thing. (0:13:21) Dalan: Yes, yes, very true. (0:13:23) Dalan: Like living in their basement. (0:13:25) Al: If you’re worried about how someone thinks about a certain thing that you do, (0:13:28) Al: just do something worse. That’s how it works, right? (0:13:30) Dalan: True. Yeah, I think that is the best method. (0:13:34) Dalan: Anyway, but yeah, I started playing that because we had (0:13:37) Dalan: My sister and her husband came over for the holidays and (0:13:42) Dalan: Her husband’s been playing it a lot longer (0:13:44) Dalan: But my sister was like I want to download this to see if we can play it because I can’t play it on my laptop (0:13:48) Dalan: And she kind of gave up on that pretty quick because she didn’t like the controller (0:13:53) Dalan: Inputs, but I was like oh this game’s kind of fun (0:13:55) Dalan: So I might be playing with that that with them in the future which would be fun because I don’t get to hang out with (0:14:01) Dalan: Them as much anymore on the count of them living in a different place (0:14:05) Dalan: So yeah warframe not (0:14:07) Dalan: But that’s interesting game and then there are lots of other games I could talk about but I’ll just quickly mention (0:14:14) Dalan: 1000 I think it’s x resist. I don’t know if it’s times or what I don’t know what it means yet (0:14:19) Dalan: But that is a game. I should be playing more of it’s just (0:14:24) Dalan: Draining because it’s a very involved sci-fi story that I want to soak in. Have you heard of it? (0:14:29) Al: Fair enough. No, I have not even heard of this game, no. (0:14:30) Dalan: Also, let me pull it out all the strange games (0:14:36) Dalan: Was like a game that was popular in a couple circles (0:14:38) Al: Oh, this is one of the ones that was added to Bellatro. (0:14:42) Dalan: Yes, yes, it was there I do remember that yeah, so this is like this is sort of a far future sci-fi story (0:14:51) Dalan: it’s (0:14:52) Dalan: kind of some people might kind of put it in the realm of a walking sim I guess but it’s it’s (0:14:58) Dalan: Interesting. It’s a lot of going around talking to characters and it has some interesting kind of time (0:15:05) Dalan: Compilation mechanics where you’re flipping back (0:15:06) Dalan: and forth between different scenes sometimes to find different information or go places. (0:15:12) Dalan: So there’s a little bit of that but the gameplay mechanics mostly serve as a catalyst for the story (0:15:17) Dalan: and like what’s going on. The basic premise I’ll say is that it seems to be a far off future where (0:15:27) Dalan: everyone is now like clones of this one person who could survive this deadly illness and you’re (0:15:33) Dalan: playing as this person called the (0:15:36) Dalan: watcher because everyone is named by (0:15:38) Dalan: their roles and you’re trying to you’re (0:15:42) Dalan: kind of figuring out what happened in (0:15:44) Dalan: the past and it seems like that’s going (0:15:46) Dalan: to lead to some sort of rebellion thing (0:15:48) Dalan: going on so it’s really interesting it’s (0:15:51) Dalan: tackles a lot of different themes (0:15:53) Dalan: there’s like it’s kind of about Asian (0:15:55) Dalan: diaspora and Hong Kong protests which (0:15:59) Dalan: is not what I would expect going into (0:16:00) Al: Oh heavy (0:16:00) Dalan: this game but it’s also about a lot of (0:16:02) Dalan: other things so covers a large range of (0:16:06) Dalan: I would recommend it. It was a big narrative game last year that people liked, but it didn’t really get nominated for anything. (0:16:15) Al: I don’t think I’ve ever actually played a walking sim and so I can’t say that I don’t (0:16:20) Dalan: Mm-hmm, I see. (0:16:23) Al: like walking sims, but what I will say is I think walking sims are everything about (0:16:28) Al: games that I don’t like and therefore I would assume that I would not like them. (0:16:34) Dalan: To me, this is more like reading a sci-fi novel with full visuals and experiences. (0:16:35) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly and it’s like I sort of like the kind of one of the (0:16:45) Al: people would argue it’s not a walking sim, but I think some people would argue it is (0:16:49) Al: a walking sim. What’s it called? Why have I forgotten the name of it? Big Sony game, (0:16:57) Al: they made a TV series of it. The Last of Us, yeah. I know it has some combat and gameplay (0:16:59) Dalan: Oh, the last of us? (0:17:04) Al: to it, however, feels very narrative heavy and I guess the kind of famous walking sim (0:17:11) Al: is more, is the Overwatch, not Overwatch, over. (0:17:14) Dalan: Uh, Firewatch. (0:17:15) Al: Firewatch, there we go. Names are too similar. There’s too many words. There are more words for (0:17:18) Dalan: It’s true, there are many similar names. (0:17:21) Al: your games, use other words. Firewatch is kind of the big one. And these games, it’s like, (0:17:28) Al: I’m not against story in game, but I guess I don’t like being in control of story because it takes (0:17:38) Al: two times longer than if they were just telling me the story. So, like, I love watching TV and (0:17:46) Al: but if I were to have to press A constantly to get the next bit of the film or TV series, (0:17:51) Al: I would not do it. (0:17:52) Al: on. (0:17:53) Dalan: Right (0:17:55) Dalan: Yeah, and I I think it very much depends on the game (0:17:58) Dalan: like there are some where I would say that is kind of more of a (0:18:02) Dalan: Just feeling kind of bored and I almost feel like I’m doing a disservice by calling it a walking sim because there’s so much (0:18:09) Dalan: Like I don’t know it like I said, it feels like us (0:18:13) Dalan: it kind of feels like walking around inside of a TV scene for me where I feel like I’m (0:18:20) Dalan: experiencing like this setting and trying to figure out what’s going on. (0:18:23) Dalan: I don’t know, but on the other hand, I’m someone who like tends to not watch as many TV or films because like I don’t like, well, I’ll have to dig into that aspect of my psyche later, but I think some of the control I enjoy being able to take it at my own pace and see what’s going on. (0:18:36) Al: Interesting. Well, anyway. (0:18:44) Dalan: Yeah, that’s that’s a wrap for me. Let’s hear about your week. So it’s not just me talking the whole episode. (0:18:50) Al: I have finally started playing Rusty’s Retirement. So I, for people who aren’t aware, the reason (0:18:57) Al: I wasn’t playing Rusty’s Retirement before was because I work for a client and so I use (0:19:04) Al: their machine, and I can’t just– (0:19:06) Al: I don’t want to install things on that machine, so I obviously do not have Rustys retirement installed on my work machine, but what I realized I can do is I have it on my Steam Deck. Now, granted, it is not great on the Steam Deck because it is not full screen, you can’t like change where it is, you’ve just got your little thing, but I have it running on my Steam Deck on, I’ve got the Steam Deck dock sitting on my desk, and so I just have my Steam Deck sitting open, charging, playing Rustys Retirement on my Steam Deck. (0:19:16) Dalan: Mmm. (0:19:34) Al: charging playing Rusty’s retirement. (0:19:37) Al: I’ve not done this very long, I think this is only my second day of doing it. (0:19:40) Al: But I thought this was an interesting way of trying to use play with the game and see how it fares like that. (0:19:46) Al: I think it could do really well like that, but there would have to be a few changes for it to work optimally. (0:19:54) Al: Obviously being in full screen and the, you know, it doesn’t have any gamepad support. (0:20:02) Al: So we’d have to have those to be really good. (0:20:06) Al: Screen makes it a lot better to work with than just using the analog sticks or the touchpads. (0:20:13) Al: And because of what its gameplay is, obviously you’re not actually interacting with it very much. (0:20:18) Al: So the interaction not being ideal doesn’t make it dreadful. (0:20:23) Al: So that’s one. (0:20:24) Al: The other thing that I have been absolutely obsessed with over the last week is Pokémon Legends Arceus, you know, just three years after release. (0:20:33) Al: I did play it when it first came out, but some– (0:20:36) Al: Keen listeners will remember that nearly two years ago, (0:20:40) Al: I had a terrible, terrible situation (0:20:44) Al: where my main Switch died, and I lost all of my Pokemon saves (0:20:47) Al: except one. (0:20:49) Al: And this was the only set of Pokemon games on the Switch (0:20:54) Al: I didn’t have a save for. (0:20:56) Al: Now I’ve been slowly building them up. (0:20:58) Al: So I don’t have all of them sorted. (0:21:01) Al: I just have one from each generation, (0:21:03) Al: one from each set of games now. (0:21:07) Al: I’d never played it a second time. (0:21:09) Al: I play most Pokemon games two times (0:21:10) Al: because I’ll buy both games, and I’ll play one (0:21:14) Al: just reasonably quickly, and then I’ll (0:21:16) Al: play one as generally a Professor Oak Challenge, (0:21:20) Al: but sometimes something else. (0:21:22) Al: So I’d never done a second playthrough of Legends Arceus. (0:21:25) Al: And so I was like, well, it’s time to do that, I guess. (0:21:28) Al: And let’s do a Professor Oak Challenge. (0:21:30) Al: And it was quite fun, Professor Oak Challenge. (0:21:32) Al: I like how they’re all very different nowadays (0:21:34) Al: Cause you’ve got like, um. (0:21:36) Al: Um, let’s go and brilliant diamond shining Pearl, which are kind of how they’re more (0:21:42) Al: like how professor challenges would have been in the older games, you know, kind of standard (0:21:49) Al: progression with gyms and catching and stuff like that. (0:21:52) Al: But let’s go had, uh, the catch combo, which meant you could get XP really quickly, um, (0:22:01) Al: and kind of sped up the first one, uh, then you obviously have sort (0:22:07) Al: is the only series of switch games that I’ve not done a professor of challenging now, which (0:22:11) Al: I’ll probably do at some point, which I think has. (0:22:12) Dalan: Yeah, I was gonna say like how does it seems like that gets a little trickier with the more open world ones (0:22:18) Al: So yeah, so obviously then you’ve got, you’ve got scarlet and violet. (0:22:18) Dalan: Obviously sword and shield isn’t quite there yet, but it’s got the wild area (0:22:24) Al: I, I love how ridiculous it is. (0:22:27) Al: I think I can’t remember exactly how many ways. (0:22:30) Al: I don’t know whether it’s quite 300, but it’s, it’s over 200 Pokemon you catch before you (0:22:34) Dalan: My goodness! (0:22:35) Al: do the first thing. (0:22:36) Al: Um, and yeah, it’s kind of ridiculous, but I also kind of love it because there’s (0:22:42) Dalan: There’s a charm there (0:22:43) Al: there, it is, it’s very front loaded. (0:22:47) Al: So you do that and then you just absolutely whiz through the story after that, which is (0:22:52) Al: like, I have my, you know, level 50 Pokemon killing the first gym sort of thing. (0:22:56) Dalan: Yeah. (0:22:57) Al: And it’s like wild, but I also like, yeah, but yeah, well, exactly. (0:23:00) Dalan: Like, “Welcome to your journey,” and (laughing) (0:23:04) Dalan: don’t know what’s coming. (0:23:06) Al: But I also like how there are so many Pokemon you can just catch in the wild now. (0:23:13) Al: And that’s the same for Legends Arceus. (0:23:15) Al: There’s so many Pokemon that you don’t have to evolve, you can just catch all of them (0:23:19) Al: in the wild. (0:23:20) Dalan: Wow (0:23:21) Al: I really like that part of it. (0:23:24) Al: So yeah, so I guess Legends Arceus was kind of a kind of between the two. (0:23:29) Al: So I think you have like 60 or so in the first region, and then it gets smaller and smaller (0:23:34) Dalan: Right (0:23:35) Al: as you go. (0:23:36) Al: It felt pretty well balanced in terms of how many Pokémon you have to get for the first (0:23:41) Al: three areas at least, and then the last two were quite quick. But yeah, well, the last area would (0:23:48) Al: have been quick if it weren’t for Spiritomb. Oh my word. I love Legends Arceus, and I love it even (0:23:52) Dalan: - True, yeah. (0:23:56) Al: more now that I’ve done a second playthrough. I just love so much about it. But Spiritomb, (0:24:02) Dalan: But yeah, no, I that’s understandable. (0:24:04) Al: I did not enjoy it. It’s like… (0:24:06) Al: 107 wisps across this huge game was not fun. Yeah, it is. (0:24:11) Dalan: It’s kind of a lot. (0:24:13) Dalan: Yeah, I never finished Legends Arceus, but I I did enjoy playing that game a lot. (0:24:19) Dalan: And I do think that is a game that could lend itself pretty well to that kind of (0:24:23) Dalan: Professor Oak challenge, because it kind of does let you do the areas as you want to. (0:24:28) Dalan: Like, obviously, it’s like, OK, now you can go to the next area. (0:24:30) Dalan: and that’s kind of encouraged, but you can also just stick around. (0:24:32) Dalan: and keep doing stuff in that one spot. (0:24:34) Dalan: So it’s pretty cool. (0:24:36) Al: Yeah, yeah, I just played the story until it said right now go do the Lord to at the (0:24:40) Dalan: Yeah. (0:24:40) Al: end of this area. And I’m like, I’m going to catch all the Pokemon first. And it didn’t (0:24:44) Dalan: Yep. (0:24:44) Al: feel forced. It felt like I was just kind of cleaning up as I went. Whereas quite a (0:24:48) Dalan: Yeah. (0:24:49) Al: lot of Professor Oak challenges, they feel like you’re like, no, I’m going to stay in (0:24:53) Al: this area and I’m going to battle this specific Pokemon, which gives the most XP before the (0:24:54) Dalan: Yeah. (0:24:59) Al: first gym to evolve my level 36 starter. (0:25:04) Dalan: It’s a fight against the game (0:25:06) Al: Exactly, exactly. Whereas the way this game works is much more like, no, I’m actually (0:25:11) Al: playing it how they wanted me to play it. Now they didn’t expect that I would necessarily (0:25:15) Al: catch absolutely everything before the next area, but there’s absolutely no forcing there. (0:25:21) Al: It definitely feels designed like that. (0:25:22) Dalan: Yeah, honestly, I think I should have played the game more like that because I kind of wanted to keep the story going but (0:25:27) Dalan: At the I was I was torn between wanting to like see how things were progressing and also being like (0:25:34) Al: Yeah. Yeah. (0:25:35) Dalan: Because it’s sort of fun it’s it’s satisfying to move around and to to throw the pokeballs and stuff (0:25:40) Dalan: I haven’t really touched scarlet and violet. I think I (0:25:44) Dalan: Might have briefly tried playing it in Japanese as practice and then I was like, oh, yeah (0:25:49) Dalan: I’m still terrible at Japanese. So I gave up a bet (0:25:53) Dalan: But I do I would like to return to it at some point and did Arceus as well (0:25:58) Dalan: I think that would be a really fun time because I did enjoy that game quite a bit (0:26:04) Al: I decided that it was time to do it because with the new game coming out, I either, (0:26:10) Al: I’m not going to be able to go back to Legends Arceus because the new game is just that but better, (0:26:15) Al: or it’s not going to be good and I’ll be disappointed, but then I will have played (0:26:20) Al: a good game this year. So it’s like, one or the other, I want to have played it now, you know. (0:26:22) Dalan: Yes, yes. (0:26:23) Dalan: Silver lining. (0:26:26) Dalan: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. (0:26:28) Al: Because there are some games that I really struggle to go back and play like, (0:26:30) Dalan: Mmm. (0:26:30) Al: Breath of the Wild, I can’t play anymore after Tuesday. (0:26:34) Al: of the Kingdom, because of what Tears of the Kingdom added. (0:26:38) Al: So yeah, I think if it was, which I really hope, I mean, we (0:26:41) Al: obviously have no indication of this yet, hopefully we’ll know (0:26:44) Al: more in a month and a half, but I really hope that Legends ZA is (0:26:49) Al: basically the same catching and traversal style as Legends (0:26:54) Al: Arceus, but more of that and more fun and more to do and more (0:27:00) Al: story and some, you know, quality of life improvements. (0:27:04) Al: What I would really like is them to add the Let’s Go feature from (0:27:08) Al: Scarlet and Violet into it as well, because I think having those (0:27:10) Al: two ways of being able to run around and catch everything in balls (0:27:14) Al: or send out your Pokemon to go and kill everything nearby. (0:27:17) Dalan: Mm-hmm (0:27:18) Al: I think those are both fun and could work really well together. (0:27:21) Dalan: Yeah, that sounds like an interesting sort of combo of those ideas, man, I need to play this Krillin Violet (0:27:27) Al: Scarlet and Violet is a really mixed game and it’s like I, at one point I said if it ran better, (0:27:35) Al: it would probably be my favourite Pokémon game, but actually I don’t think that anymore. I think (0:27:38) Dalan: Mmm (0:27:39) Al: no matter what, I think Legends Arceus is my favourite Pokémon game. It’s just… (0:27:44) Dalan: Yeah, I would say that legends Arceus was definitely like the one I had been most charmed by and quite some time probably since like (0:27:51) Dalan: First Pokemon game like black and white and they didn’t enjoy the others per se but it was like, oh, this is new and interesting (0:27:57) Al: - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:28:00) Al: All right, so yeah, well, yeah, (0:28:02) Al: I finished the Professor Oak Challenge. (0:28:03) Al: I’m just catching the last few postgame Pokemon now. (0:28:04) Dalan: Oh, nice! (0:28:06) Al: So I think I’ve got the, I think before this recording, (0:28:12) Al: I just caught the Lake Spirits. (0:28:14) Al: So I think all I’ve got left are Geratina, (0:28:18) Al: the weather genies, and then Arceus, (0:28:22) Dalan: Mm-hmm great those guys (0:28:24) Al: and the two mythical. (0:28:28) Dalan: Mm-hmm cool. I look forward to hearing about that also curious about (0:28:28) Al: So, that shouldn’t take me too long. (0:28:33) Dalan: More thoughts on Rusty’s retirement as you play that more because I know we both talked about how we weren’t sure if that was (0:28:36) Al: Yes, it will be interesting to see how that goes. I will hopefully have more to talk about (0:28:38) Dalan: Game that really worked for us (0:28:45) Al: Rusty’s retirement in the near future. All right, let’s talk about some news. (0:28:48) Dalan: Sweet. (0:28:51) Al: Obviously, we had our big news catch up last week, and this is, as Dallin was saying before (0:28:58) Al: the recording, the quiet time of the year, which is very true. I think this is a very quiet time (0:29:00) Dalan: - Yes. (0:29:04) Al: for games for two reasons. (0:29:06) Al: Well, three reasons. One is January. (0:29:08) Al: Not a lot happens in January when put in games. (0:29:08) Dalan: - Yeah. (0:29:11) Al: Two, the Switch 2 is about to be announced, right? (0:29:14) Dalan: - Right. (0:29:14) Al: Like, that is imminent. (0:29:16) Al: And you know that everybody’s waiting for that. (0:29:18) Al: Some will be waiting because they have dev kits (0:29:21) Al: and they can’t announce anything yet. (0:29:23) Al: And some will be waiting to just see what it is (0:29:25) Al: and see if they can run their Switch games on it (0:29:27) Al: before they talk about it. (0:29:29) Al: And three, everybody’s terrified of GTA. (0:29:32) Dalan: Mmm, yeah, no, that’s a big game coming. (0:29:37) Al: So there’s basically no games announced coming this year outside of the first three months, (0:29:42) Dalan: Mmm. Yeah, it’s yeah, it’s a weird time right now in many ways. (0:29:42) Al: like for anybody at all. So yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. But we do have some news. (0:29:53) Al: So first of all, My Little Life, which is what I like to call a rusty retirement like, (0:30:00) Al: it is another game played on the bottom part of your screen. And this is a (0:30:06) Al: life sim rather than a farming sim. So you have your different rooms in your house and (0:30:15) Al: I presume office, I’ve not actually investigated whether you have more than (0:30:20) Dalan: My gosh this I’m looking at the announcement. I just haven’t muted right now, but in the release date announcement (0:30:26) Dalan: They have rusty’s retirement pulled up over top of the my little life screen. Yeah, let’s about 46 seconds in (0:30:30) Al: Oh, do they? Amazing. (0:30:35) Al: Oh, so they do. (0:30:36) Dalan: You can do it well answering work emails or even playing other games and then rusty’s retirement pops up (0:30:41) Dalan: So that’s that’s pretty funny. It’s just like yeah, I know what I know. This is sort of a copy (0:30:42) Al: I just read the transcripts of what they’re talking about, what you can do while playing (0:30:46) Dalan: Happy. (0:30:53) Al: it. And one of them is “or playing other games”. So they’re showing you playing My Little Life (0:31:01) Al: and Rusty’s Retirement at the same time, which I would say probably don’t do that. (0:31:02) Dalan: Two for one. (0:31:06) Dalan: I think that’s overload. (0:31:08) Dalan: I think that would break my brain. (0:31:11) Dalan: Too much things I can look at. (0:31:12) Al: Anyway, this game has announced, as Talon just said, their release date. So this is coming (0:31:17) Al: out on the 31st of January. So in two and a bit weeks. Yep. So if you like Rusty’s Retirement, (0:31:27) Al: you want another one like it, or you like the idea of Rusty’s Retirement, but you didn’t (0:31:31) Al: want a farming game while you’re listening to this podcast, then that comes out very soon. (0:31:34) Dalan: Yeah, very interesting, also like the Windows XP background in the tree. (0:31:39) Al: Next week. Yeah. (0:31:43) Dalan: Where’s that Vista? (0:31:43) Al: Yeah. (0:31:44) Dalan: I don’t know, I’m too young for this. (0:31:48) Al: Next we have the Sun Haven have released their next update for the Switch version. (0:31:54) Al: The Switch version. I mean it’s all just bug fixes basically. (0:31:56) Dalan: Hmm (0:32:00) Al: Except one thing which says added a save button in the settings menu. (0:32:03) Al: Could you not save the game before? I don’t. (0:32:05) Dalan: Ah, no idea. That seems good to have. (0:32:09) Al: Yeah. So if you’re playing, Sunhee, (0:32:12) Al: haven on the switch, you now have fewer bugs. (0:32:16) Al: Hopefully. (0:32:16) Dalan: More save buttons and hopefully you already had more than zero (0:32:18) Al: And more safe bugs. (0:32:20) Al: I’m guessing it does the Stardew thing of saving overnight, (0:32:24) Dalan: Right probably (0:32:25) Al: but they also have a save on demand thing. (0:32:29) Dalan: Right that would make sense (0:32:30) Al: Next we have Echoes of the Plum Grove (0:32:32) Al: have released their new year update. (0:32:35) Al: This is mostly bug fixes, but there’s a few features as well. (0:32:39) Al: You can add rugs and put things on those rugs. (0:32:44) Dalan: I was a little worried I misread the thing it says put furniture over rugs (0:32:49) Dalan: and I and costumes for kids and I combined them as put furniture and rugs (0:32:53) Dalan: over kids and I was like oh okay I know this is the sort of wacky or the like (0:32:58) Dalan: not wacky but uh macabre macabre game there we say that macabre it’s the R (0:33:03) Al: Yep, macabre, macabre, macabre. (0:33:06) Dalan: pronounced this is this is important I need to (0:33:10) Al: This will probably be a cultural thing, right? (0:33:12) Dalan: macabre. It’s macabre. (0:33:12) Al: Like macabre, death, about death. (0:33:15) Dalan: He got out again. (0:33:17) Dalan: That’s seems. (0:33:20) Dalan: Cool. Thanks. (0:33:22) Dalan: I knew that part. (0:33:22) Dalan: I was wondering how to say you. (0:33:24) Dalan: Thanks word. (0:33:24) Al: No, I know, I’m just simplifying it. (0:33:28) Dalan: It’s about it’s got some depth in it. (0:33:31) Al: And also new Halloween outfits. (0:33:33) Al: We’re a little bit late for Halloween outfits. (0:33:36) Dalan: Oh, some amazing fixes, Winter Gala should still be available even if the quest giver dies the night before. (0:33:42) Dalan: Good. (0:33:44) Dalan: There’s some spoiler ones I’m not looking at, but that’s the only fun one, so you don’t need to look for any more fixes. (0:33:52) Dalan: But, man, this game does intrigue me, I gotta say. (0:33:56) Al: Yeah, not many games have to worry about their NPCs dying, right? (0:34:00) Dalan: Yeah, that’s usually a Bethesda kind of thing. (0:34:07) Al: And our final piece of news, (0:34:08) Al: ‘cause I told you it was short, right? (0:34:10) Al: We had about half an hour of what we’d been up to, (0:34:12) Al: and now we’ve got five minutes of news. (0:34:13) Dalan: Well, I don’t think I saw this one. (0:34:15) Al: This is, that’s ‘cause I added it in (0:34:18) Al: like two hours ago or something. (0:34:18) Dalan: Ah, I see. (0:34:21) Al: Roots of Patcher have detailed (0:34:25) Al: their upcoming new regions to the games. (0:34:28) Al: So if you’re interested in Roots of Patcher, (0:34:30) Al: there’s some more details on that. (0:34:33) Al: Yeah, it’s not hugely detailed, (0:34:36) Al: but they’re just kind of talking about the new regions, (0:34:37) Al: which feel like the next update’s gonna be pretty big. (0:34:40) Dalan: There’s some, there’s some fun screenshots, well not screenshots, they’re slightly animated. (0:34:45) Al: Yes, there are. (0:34:47) Al: I still haven’t played this game, (0:34:48) Al: and I still want to at some point. (0:34:50) Dalan: It does, it looks nice, I could see myself enjoying it. (0:34:53) Dalan: I will keep an eye out. (0:34:56) Al: Well, that’s the news! (0:34:59) Al: So, Dalon, you’re gonna talk to me about Honkai Impact 3rd, and I have not played this game, (0:35:03) Dalan: All right. (0:35:06) Dalan: All right. (0:35:09) Al: so I have no idea how to start this other than, why are we talking about this game? (0:35:13) Dalan: okay yes let’s let’s start with why this is getting mentioned because honkai impact dirt is (0:35:18) Dalan: not a farming game and unless you count farming for materials uh oh I sure I have no idea what (0:35:19) Al: Shall I see what you said to me about the game? Let me read what Dallin said (0:35:25) Dalan: I sent to you oh boy (0:35:27) Al: when they first suggested playing this game. (0:35:32) Dalan: i’m half expecting like there to be an emoji with me like doing the the fingers pointing at each (0:35:37) Dalan: other I don’t know I i think it (0:35:39) Al: Where did you say it to me? (0:35:44) Dalan: it was probably a threat in the like the not the harvest slack but the other slack (0:35:49) Dalan: I don’t even think it was like a dm or anything I was like no it was just like we could do this (0:35:51) Al: It wasn’t a DM, no. (0:35:54) Dalan: so I i don’t think that’s even anywhere now we have we have no idea how this transpired just (0:35:59) Dalan: occurred uh yeah I think it it came up in video games because I mentioned that I was doing like (0:36:00) Al: so confused. We seem to have talked about it in multiple different channels, (0:36:04) Al: but I can’t actually find where you said it about it. (0:36:09) Dalan: a farming event in this game. You said there’s farming in this game? (0:36:13) Dalan: I was like, “Yeah, right now.” (0:36:15) Al: Okay, so, you said to me back at the end of November, the new Honkai Impact Third Update (0:36:22) Al: has a side mode that is Bilateral + Marvel Snap. The previous two side modes were a Farming (0:36:26) Dalan: Oh yes, I didn’t mention that. (0:36:28) Al: Sim and then Candy Crush Battles. And I said, “A what now?” (0:36:30) Dalan: Yes. (0:36:32) Dalan: Yes. (0:36:34) Dalan: That one just wrapped up, the Bellatrosnap. (0:36:38) Al: So yeah, you said, “I thought I posted about it, but I guess not. It was a Farming Sim (0:36:42) Al: that was about getting not Pokemon who (0:36:45) Al: run various buildings in your town, farm crops, mine for materials etc. They also had fishing, (0:36:51) Al: gotta have a fishing minigame. If you ever need a filler episode, (0:36:53) Dalan: That is correct (0:36:54) Al: I could definitely talk for at least 20 minutes about it, so set that timer now! (0:36:58) Dalan: All right, set the timer see how long we get to cool (0:37:04) Dalan: Yeah, I mean good job past me. That’s a pretty good summary (0:37:08) Dalan: So that’s that’s what we’re gonna talk about. I’m going to briefly just explain the concept of what the heck (0:37:14) Dalan: Hong Kai impact there it is. It’s a gotcha game first and foremost. So if you’re not familiar with gotcha games, it’s (0:37:21) Dalan: gambling, but legal. (0:37:24) Dalan: They have usually have these things called banners where there are usually anime girls that you spend points on, and then you have a chance to get that character it’s usually guaranteed after however many times you pull for that character as the terminology and yeah, that is that is the bulk of how they make their monies by having you pay money to get their new characters. (0:37:51) Dalan: So one of the ways (0:37:53) Dalan: they do this is by having these characters show up in side modes and (0:37:57) Dalan: stories and stuff. Usually they’re in the main story, but sometimes they also have (0:38:01) Dalan: sort of filler side content, and they tend to–Hoyoverse is the company that (0:38:07) Dalan: does this, formerly me, Hoyo, and I think that’s like–I don’t remember all the (0:38:12) Dalan: branding nonsense, but I go by Hoyoverse, and yeah. (0:38:12) Al: It looks like Mihoyo is still the name of a company. (0:38:20) Dalan: Yeah, it’s like international kind of stuff. (0:38:23) Dalan: It was Hoya vs. Kind of a rebranding thing that I tend to stick to just because most of their games are connected in some sort of multiverse way. (0:38:34) Al: So, the publisher is called Huyoverse. (0:38:38) Dalan: And the developers Mihoyo? Okay, interesting. I did not know that. (0:38:40) Al: Correct. (0:38:42) Al: But I believe they are separate companies, but it looks like Huyoverse was spun out from… (0:38:49) Dalan: Yeah, they’re essentially the same thing I imagine. (0:38:52) Dalan: They just handle like different parts of the process. (0:38:56) Al: Yes, but they are separate companies, they’re not, as far as I can see, not kind of possibly, (0:38:58) Dalan: Yes. (0:39:00) Dalan: All right, I figured it was a thing where like (0:39:02) Dalan: one was owning the other somewhere, but I don’t know. (0:39:04) Al: but I’m not, I can’t see any information on the ownership of Hoyoverse. But also, Hoyoverse (0:39:07) Dalan: I do not have the Wikipedia open right now (0:39:09) Dalan: and it’s not that relevant. (0:39:12) Al: is also called Cognosphere. That’s just another name for the same company. I don’t know why (0:39:15) Dalan: Hognosphere, I’m not familiar with that one. (0:39:19) Dalan: Okay, interesting. (0:39:25) Dalan: I assume it has something, (0:39:28) Dalan: the first result from three, (0:39:30) Dalan: the second result from three years ago on Reddit (0:39:31) Dalan: says it was a new proxy publishing label. (0:39:34) Dalan: So it’s probably ‘cause they’re based in China (0:39:34) Al: It does. Right. (0:39:36) Dalan: and they needed like other companies (0:39:37) Dalan: to be able to publish things. (0:39:38) Al: Yeah, but why is HoYoverse also called Cognosphere sometimes? (0:39:42) Dalan: Oh, no idea. (0:39:44) Al: But yeah, it does look like it’s fully owned subsidiary of of miHoYo. (0:39:49) Al: So parent company miHoYo, HoYoverse also called Cognosphere. (0:39:54) Dalan: publisher cool (0:39:54) Al: Subsidiary publishing company. Got it. (0:39:57) Dalan: Cool, that’s not confusing got it got it (0:39:57) Al: Perfect. Makes sense. (0:40:00) Dalan: Need a chart. I don’t need some diagrams after this anyway (0:40:04) Dalan: the brief history of miHoYo is (0:40:07) Dalan: Al have you ever heard of Evangelion? I? (0:40:10) Dalan: Want you to imagine that you are a couple you’re several people and that’s there (0:40:15) Dalan: There is a team of a few people in China in like (0:40:20) Dalan: Early, I think like the late 2000s who are really into Evangelion and they decide (0:40:24) Dalan: let’s make games inspired by that and so yeah that was kind of that is I assume (0:40:31) Dalan: why this game is called impact third because it is very heavily inspired by (0:40:34) Dalan: Evangelion which has something in it called the third impact however I assume (0:40:38) Al: Right. Okay. You lost me there for a minute. You were like, I think that’s why (0:40:39) Dalan: they little bit okay Evangelion has something in it called the third impact (0:40:41) Al: it’s called this because Evangelion. I’m like, I don’t understand what that means. (0:40:45) Al: Okay. I’m learning so much. (0:40:48) Dalan: so I think they took inspiration from that name and some of the things that (0:40:53) Dalan: that happen in that series. (0:40:55) Dalan: Uh, cause it features in this game is kind of a thing. (0:40:58) Dalan: Uh, basically just, yeah. (0:41:00) Al: Oh, this is also the Genshin Impact company. Anzendless don0. Goodness me. (0:41:02) Dalan: Yes, that is, they took the, yes, that’s Hoya verse. (0:41:07) Dalan: They have a lot. (0:41:08) Dalan: They also have something called tears of Themis, which I think is like a hot (0:41:11) Dalan: boy dating simulator, but I didn’t ever hear anyone talking about it. (0:41:12) Al: Yeah, I saw that as well, but I didn’t really care because it’s not one I care of. (0:41:14) Dalan: So I don’t know anything about it. (0:41:17) Dalan: Yeah, I, I don’t particularly care, but it does exist. (0:41:20) Dalan: Um, yes, yes. (0:41:20) Al: This game is older than those games. (0:41:25) Dalan: This is the one that I think really first took off. (0:41:27) Dalan: Uh, there were two that proceeded it, but one was literally just kind of like, (0:41:30) Dalan: uh, uh, you know, twin stick shooter, very short game. (0:41:35) Dalan: And the other was kind of like a prototype of this game. (0:41:39) Dalan: That was like a lot more zombie focused because zombies were really big back in (0:41:43) Dalan: the, uh, like late, uh, odds, I think, if you remember everyone liked zombies and (0:41:50) Dalan: bacon and pirates and mustaches and that, that kind of period of time. (0:41:52) Al: Yeah, I don’t think that ever actually went away, did it? (0:41:55) Dalan: No, no, well, no, but it was like, that was sort of a weird cultural (0:42:00) Dalan: cachet we had at the time. (0:42:00) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get you, I get you. (0:42:02) Dalan: Yeah. (0:42:03) Dalan: Anyway, so yes, that game I now, now I’ve confused myself. (0:42:08) Dalan: Uh, where am I anyway, how can I impact third it’s game. (0:42:12) Dalan: You can play, uh, one of the, as Hoya verse starts getting more and more money. (0:42:16) Dalan: Uh, they need to put like side events in their gotcha games. (0:42:19) Dalan: And I guess some of the game designers are like, what if we just started doing (0:42:23) Dalan: doing entirely different. (0:42:25) Dalan: And so across a lot of their games, there are events where you will just play like entirely separate games as side events, and some of them are really interesting. (0:42:34) Dalan: The problem is a lot of them go away after the event period is over because that’s not what the focus of the game is. (0:42:41) Dalan: I have noticed some lately and Impact Third seem to be like getting saved as things you can replay. (0:42:47) Dalan: And I think Honkai Star Rail keeps most of its events that happen, but not all of them. (0:42:54) Dalan: Part of that is because these are games you can play both on your phone and PC in consoles. (0:43:01) Dalan: Impact Third is only phone and PC. (0:43:05) Dalan: So to be playable on a phone, they wanted to decrease storage size. (0:43:10) Dalan: So they tend to delete content events that happened so your phone doesn’t explode from being just the game and having space for nothing else. (0:43:20) Dalan: So the event we’re talking about is they made, essentially, (0:43:24) Dalan: a farming sim that you can play. They’ve done this apparently twice. I was not playing when (0:43:28) Dalan: the first one happened, so I don’t know anything about it. It’s farming enough. I mean, that’s, (0:43:29) Al: or two farvings, some specifically. (0:43:34) Dalan: I would say it’s more focused on automation, sort of. Yeah, but it is around farming and development. (0:43:38) Al: Sounds like my kind of game

My name is Al. (0:00:37) Kev: My name is Kevin certified scuba diver and we’re not calling them farmers anymore. We’re (0:00:43) Kev: I don’t know. Well, there’s a few different things sushi shots divers (0:00:48) Al: Oh yes! Hello Divers! And welcome to another episode of The Diving Season. My name is Al. (0:00:59) Kev: My name is Kevin, and we’re– more specifically, (0:01:01) Al: And we’re here today to talk about Diving Games. Depends on the level of his equipment. (0:01:06) Kev: “Dave the Diver, can he fish it? (0:01:10) Kev: Dave the Diver, yes, he can!” (0:01:17) Kev: There it does. (0:01:21) Kev: I still haven’t caught one of those spider crabs. (0:01:24) Kev: Hello, everyone. (0:01:24) Al: Ah do you know how do you know how to do them? (0:01:25) Kev: Welcome. (0:01:27) Kev: I’m assuming it’s the steel trap. (0:01:29) Kev: You know, the little sensor traps or whatever, but– (0:01:31) Al: It’s not. You’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna (0:01:32) Kev: Oh, well, don’t tell me then. (0:01:33) Kev: I’ll figure it out. (0:01:35) Al: kick yourself when you find out what it is. (0:01:36) Kev: I bet it’s a– (0:01:38) Kev: it’s going to be the baseball bat. (0:01:40) Kev: What if it’s the hammer? (0:01:41) Kev: Oh, it’s a squeaky hammer, isn’t it? (0:01:44) Kev: We’ll see. (0:01:44) Al: you know, yeah. Let me know how you feel once you figure out, because yeah, I was like, (0:01:51) Kev: Okay. (0:01:52) Al: I can’t, I was like, I cannot believe I didn’t think about this. This is, this is ridiculous (0:01:56) Al: that it took me this long to figure out. So yes, first of all, before we get into it, (0:02:01) Al: transcripts are available in the show notes and on the website. Welcome to the first episode (0:02:06) Al: of Dave the Diver Month. This is the month every year where I go on holiday and I can’t (0:02:13) Al: bothered recording and editing while (0:02:14) Al: I’m away. So, we pre-record a bunch of episodes. Last year was fishing month and this year (0:02:23) Al: for some reason we decided to do Dave the Diver month. Wooo! So yeah, we’re doing… (0:02:26) Kev: we’re going deeper it ties into its shark week you know month would have (0:02:31) Kev: parked that net so I actually I don’t I don’t know is that you guys like I don’t (0:02:37) Al: I am aware of Shark Week. We don’t get it, but it is referenced in enough American material (0:02:37) Kev: okay okay yeah okay okay so so just a side note about that I always find (0:02:43) Al: that I am awake. (0:02:44) Al: I am here for what it is. (0:02:51) Kev: amusing. So Shark Week is done by Discovery Channel which (0:02:56) Kev: is, I don’t know what network, but not Disney Network, and this is important. (0:03:02) Al: They were independent, but they merged with Paramount, I think. (0:03:10) Kev: Yeah, is it I don’t know cuz they’re on I (0:03:12) Al: It’s Paramount Discovery. Or is it CBS? It’s one of the two of them. (0:03:14) Kev: Can’t I don’t remember but either way the key thing is it’s not Disney and I bring it up because couple years back (0:03:22) Kev: Disney’s saw all the shark week money they were making presumably or whatever and so they said we’re gonna do our own version (0:03:29) Kev: And we’re gonna call it shark fest except it’s gonna be a whole month and every year they try hyping up shark fest (0:03:36) Kev: but it’s it’s just (0:03:36) Al: I’ve just googled it. Of course, it’s Warner Brothers. It’s Warner Brothers, not Paramount (0:03:37) Kev: It’s clear what they’re doing and it’s just (0:03:40) Kev: Laffable and impediable. Anyways, but welcome to our dive Dave fest. Hello areas (0:03:52) Kev: Yeah, that’s what I thought cuz I’m pretty sure is on max I see the max commercial (0:03:52) Al: or it’s Warner Brothers. I don’t know why you didn’t say that then. You’re like, “Oh, (0:03:56) Al: I thought it, but I didn’t say it.” Just assume I’m wrong. (0:03:58) Kev: Because I can’t remember who owns max isn’t that is Warner Brothers, right? Yeah, cuz they do with the cartoon. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah (0:04:04) Kev: Okay. Well, there you go (0:04:06) Al: The company is now called Warner Brothers Discovery. HBO is part of that as well. (0:04:08) Kev: Now there you go (0:04:11) Kev: Don’t you love how everything’s just merging into (0:04:17) Kev: Conglomerate it’s horrifying blob (0:04:22) Al: So anyway, as I mentioned, this is Dave the Diver Month. (0:04:26) Kev: So yeah, somehow we figured out a whole month. (0:04:29) Al: We’ve gone back to our roots, gone back to our roots, (0:04:32) Al: because I went I’ve been going back and like backfilling. (0:04:36) Al: We changed our show notes to Notion a couple of years ago and I (0:04:41) Al: I didn’t backfill all the old episodes, so it was just like missing. (0:04:45) Al: So you could go back to the the I think the end of 2022 was the first episode (0:04:52) Al: in Notion, so I decided that I needed this list, right? (0:04:57) Al: Because it’s a nice list that I can easily like filter through and see what (0:05:01) Al: episodes people have been on, see that Kevin has been on the second most (0:05:04) Al: episodes of anyone, second only to me. (0:05:06) Kev: here to defend my title. (0:05:11) Al: But it meant that I went back and looked at every single title that we’ve done (0:05:15) Al: because I had to type them all in. (0:05:17) Al: And yeah, my word, the first, the first 10. (0:05:22) Al: 10 episodes, we cover a total of three games. (0:05:27) Kev: Why hopes to think about this in hindsight? (0:05:29) Al: We have the I know we have the introduction (0:05:32) Al: episode and then we have three Stardew episodes. (0:05:35) Al: Granted, one of them is the challenge, which we haven’t done in a while. (0:05:37) Al: We should do a challenge episode again. (0:05:40) Al: And then we did five episodes on trio of towns. (0:05:46) Kev: Well, there’s three towns. So, you know, the five have wow (0:05:52) Al: Introduction to it, one about the story, one about the mechanics, one about the (0:05:57) Al: calendar, we specifically talk, we specifically talked about the calendar (0:06:02) Al: in its own episode, which I think was I think we’re talking about like the (0:06:06) Al: festivals and stuff like that, basically. (0:06:10) Al: And then and then we had a challenge episode. (0:06:12) Al: And in the middle of that, we had this (0:06:14) Al: random episode on factory town because that was the the first time I managed to (0:06:18) Al: get a free code for something and I was like, oh, we must do this now. (0:06:18) Kev: Duh (0:06:23) Al: So, yeah, there we go. (0:06:25) Al: So we’re going back to our roots and having a whole month on one game. (0:06:30) Al: We’ll we’ll see how that goes. (0:06:32) Al: This episode, we’re going to talk about the game as a whole (0:06:35) Al: pre the DLCs. (0:06:37) Al: So the DLCs we will cover in a different (0:06:40) Al: episode and we’re not going to cover the story in too much detail. (0:06:44) Al: We will touch on it in some amount, but like Kevin’s only two chapters in. (0:06:48) Al: I have finished the game, but yeah, we’re gonna leave that to run out. (0:06:52) Al: Another episode. So we’re not going to talk about the two DLCs, the Dredge DLC, the Godzilla (0:06:58) Al: DLC, or the kind of more details and the ending of the story. Yeah. Dave the Diver Month, whoo! (0:07:08) Kev: All right well before that I guess well we’re not we’re not really doing news we don’t do news right on these (0:07:15) Al: We have no news. We have no news because we’re recording this, what, three weeks in advance? (0:07:20) Kev: Yeah (0:07:22) Al: So there’s no news. I mean, there’s probably news, but you’ll hear about it in another (0:07:25) Al: three weeks’ time. I think you know that’s not going to happen. (0:07:25) Kev: Which means haunted chocolatier will have the stealth drop when this episode drops (0:07:37) Al: Concerned Ape doesn’t do stealth drops. He knows the hype is good, which it’s not coming (0:07:43) Al: out this year, but even if it did… (0:07:45) Al: like, he will announce it at least two months beforehand. (0:07:48) Kev: Fair enough, um, a lot of gave the diver, to be honest, I really, really like this game. (0:07:51) Al: But first of all, Kevin, what have you been up to? (0:07:59) Kev: It’s a great game, um, I guess as a side note, I think I said earlier, but I am actually (0:08:08) Kev: a certified scuba diver, I haven’t been in years, but my dad was a scuba diver and as (0:08:10) Al: Oh, that’s fun. (0:08:14) Kev: I grew up by the ocean. (0:08:21) Kev: myself, and so yeah, I appreciate this very much so. But yeah, David the Diver, well welcome (0:08:29) Kev: to that. Aside from that, a lot of my usual Marvel Snap, the Deadpool season has started, (0:08:36) Kev: I’m excited, there’s going to be a ridiculous amount of good cards this season. And yeah, (0:08:40) Al: Yes, the film will be out as well by the time there’s episode- (0:08:43) Kev: Yeah, yeah that is, I am. (0:08:49) Al: I feel like this is the one that’s going to drag a bunch of people back that haven’t (0:08:52) Al: been interested in Marvel films for a while. (0:08:54) Kev: Yeah, I mean, we could do, maybe we will do a whole episode on this, but like with X-Men ‘97 and Deadpool and Wolverine, I feel like, you know, that this is going to be a jectary setter for Marvel. (0:09:11) Kev: Anyways, yeah, I’m excited for that. So yeah, Marvel Snap is good. I don’t know how it is for new players or returning players, but as someone who’s kept up with it, I think it’s in a really good place. (0:09:23) Kev: Um, I sorry. (0:09:24) Kev: Aside from that, uh, a lot of my usual- yeah there’s a lot of my usuals Pokemon Unite. (0:09:32) Kev: Um, and of course, uh, the Mario is life never ends, um, you know, by the time this episode drops, I’m sure other stuff will have been out, but, uh, at the time of recording, I tried Super Mario Kart, the- the OG, for the SNES. (0:09:48) Kev: Uh, that was an interesting experience to see, um, it wasn’t a bad game, like- (0:09:56) Kev: Harvest Moon was SNES, wasn’t it? Like the original Harvest Moon was SNES? Yeah, it was much better than the original Harvest Moon. (0:09:58) Al: - Yeah, yeah it was. (0:10:02) Kev: Um, but, uh, but yeah, that was fun, and, uh, and hey, most importantly over at Rainbow Road Radio, we have hit one year, yay! (0:10:12) Al: So, if you haven’t listened to that podcast yet, go listen to it. They did a good, they (0:10:12) Kev: Uh, yo, it’s a little- (0:10:17) Al: did a good episode with Nadia on the, what’s it called? Mario Kart. That one was called (0:10:26) Al: Super Mario Kart, right? Or was it just Mario Kart? That was Super Mario Kart. Everything (0:10:26) Kev: Yeah, that was called. It was a Super Mario Kart, yeah. (0:10:30) Al: was super because it was on the SNES. The game by Advance, everything was advanced. (0:10:32) Kev: Yeah, that’s correct. Just like the DS had DS abbreviations or name. (0:10:41) Kev: Yeah, yeah, that’s a good one. (0:10:45) Kev: I need that back. Give us a good one for Switch 2. (0:10:48) Kev: Oh, I didn’t even know. (0:10:48) Al: Well this is this is why I don’t think they’ll go for super or advanced like some people (0:10:54) Al: are suggesting. I think they’ll want to have a unique one so that you can clearly, you (0:10:59) Al: know, make a differentiation between them. And I definitely do not think it’s going to (0:11:02) Kev: yeah (0:11:04) Al: be two. I just that’s I don’t think it’s going to be. (0:11:07) Kev: well of course not they’ve the only one they ever used was 64 and that was (0:11:11) Kev: because of the technical 64 (0:11:14) Al: Well, exactly. There’s always a reason why they’re doing them, and they always try and (0:11:14) Kev: right (0:11:17) Al: make it a unique thing, right? Like, there’s not been one. No, but that was unique as well. (0:11:18) Kev: yeah (0:11:20) Kev: except we you (0:11:24) Al: Right? Because, like, yes, sometimes they take, like, sometimes it’s based on a previous (0:11:30) Al: one, so they take the name and then they add something to it. But the thing they add to (0:11:34) Al: it is always new. You’ve got the 3DS, you’ve got the DSi, you’ve got the Wii U, you’ve (0:11:39) Al: got the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. They all add a different thing to it. They’ve (0:11:40) Kev: OK. OK, yeah, you’re right. (0:11:44) Al: never duplicated that. Game Boy Advance. Oh yeah, I’m not saying the game’s… I’m not (0:11:48) Kev: I make I yeah, I make the jokes about the bad names, but (0:11:53) Kev: hopefully it’ll be better than new switch. (0:11:56) Al: saying the games are good. The names are good, for the record. But they are unique. People (0:11:57) Kev: Yes, yeah, but they are different. (0:12:01) Kev: You’re right, they don’t reuse things (0:12:04) Kev: as much as Nintendo loves to call back their games, (0:12:06) Kev: I guess with their systems, they really don’t call back, do they? (0:12:08) Kev: - Nah. (0:12:09) Kev: Um, no. (0:12:10) Kev: Yeah, but, uh, yeah, so anyways, yeah, go check that it go ahead. (0:12:14) Al: I think the only Nintendo thing that will be out between our recording and the episode coming out (0:12:22) Al: is the World Championships game. That’s the only thing coming out in July or August. (0:12:26) Kev: I think I mentioned this on the cycle we chatted, but you remember like two years ago we talked (0:12:36) Kev: about one of the directs and said it felt like one of the final directs for the switch. (0:12:38) Al: I think it was two years ago that we said that classic (0:12:43) Kev: We still got another year, at least, to ring out of this bad boy. (0:12:49) Kev: Good times. (0:12:50) Kev: So yeah, go check out Rainbow Road Radio. (0:12:58) Al: Yeah, I mean, games-wise, I’m not going to really talk about it right, because it’s all the same (0:13:02) Al: stuff I’ve been talking for. Well, as I’m recording, I’ve said the same stuff for like three episodes (0:13:08) Al: long, and I’m probably going to do another two episodes where I’ve not really played anything (0:13:12) Al: new, because I’ve been playing the same three games for the podcast. I feel like I’ve been (0:13:17) Al: playing Day of the Diver now for about a month, which is a good thing for the record. We’ll get (0:13:22) Kev: Yep, not forcibly not at gunpoint (0:13:23) Al: to that. But spoiler alert, this is a good game. Absolutely not. I’m so glad. (0:13:28) Al: This game was good because can you imagine us covering four episodes on a game that none of us (0:13:33) Al: liked? Oh boy. But there is one thing that I just finished that probably this is the best episode to (0:13:35) Kev: Hey, I mean Steve’s managed to get how many years out of (0:13:46) Al: talk on because I’ve got you Kevin and that is the Gotham Knights TV show. So I bet you haven’t (0:13:50) Kev: I am not but I’m aware how it was the show Batman show before Batman but then (0:13:54) Al: watch this have you? (0:13:58) Al: So let me say listeners, if you don’t want spoilers for the Gotham Knights TV show, (0:14:01) Kev: said okay but we’re gonna add Batman though anyway (0:14:12) Al: which was a CW/DC show that aired two years ago or something and cancelled after one season, (0:14:20) Al: then skip to the main topic, because this will be all I’m talking about for the rest of this (0:14:26) Al: section but I would. (0:14:28) Al: I will probably spoil some things because I don’t think you can truly have a conversation (0:14:32) Al: about this without spoiling some ridiculous things about this show. (0:14:36) Al: So the premise of this show is Batman is murdered and people there are. (0:14:43) Kev: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Batman’s Murder? Wait, what show is this? This isn’t the pre-Batman show? (0:14:49) Al: This is not pre Batman, no, this is post Batman. (0:14:52) Kev: What, what’s it called again? One more time? (0:14:54) Al: Gotham Knights. (0:14:55) Kev: Oh, Gotham Knights! I thought you said Gotham, ‘cause there’s a show called… (0:14:58) Al: No, not Gotham. Gotham was, Gotham was good. Yeah, no, that was good. This was, (0:15:01) Kev: Okay. (0:15:02) Al: that was like four seasons long or something like that. Yeah, with a K. So the Knights have got that, (0:15:04) Kev: Okay, wait, is this Gotham Knights with a K or an okay? (0:15:09) Kev: Okay. (0:15:12) Al: you know, like the, you’re the classic, everybody knows who the Gotham Knights are, (0:15:16) Al: and none of them are in this show. So, but yeah, so this is, well, do you want me not to talk about (0:15:20) Kev: Okay, so Batman’s murdered. Okay, I’ve missed this completely. (0:15:24) Kev: Okay. (0:15:27) Kev: No, no, I want to know. I don’t know when I’ll check it out. (0:15:28) Al: it then? Are you, do you care about what? No, that’s fine. So Batman is, Batman is murdered, (0:15:30) Kev: I’m good for all the spoilers. To do tell. (0:15:38) Al: and four teenagers are framed for his murder, and those teenagers include Batman’s adopted son. (0:15:47) Al: Now, this is an adopted son that doesn’t exist in the comics. (0:15:50) Kev: I’ll say I’m looking at the Wikipedia and hit the sun’s name is not blue which means there’s no article (0:15:58) Al: Yeah, yeah. So he doesn’t, this is the only place that he exists in anything, (0:16:04) Al: because basically they didn’t have the rights to any existing Robin, so they decided not to do a (0:16:10) Al: Robin. And I will say the interesting thing about that is that he is, he doesn’t know that Bruce (0:16:15) Al: Wayne is Batman, and he’s never trained up as a Robin. So that is a little bit different and (0:16:20) Al: interesting that they do, but just an actual son, he’s adopted because, well, it turns out for, (0:16:21) Kev: So just an actual son, not a child laborer. (0:16:28) Al: spoilers here, it turns out that Batman killed his parents, so that’s why he was adopted by him. (0:16:32) Kev: Oh, what? What? (0:16:34) Al: But another, another one of the teenagers that is framed for killing Batman is the daughter of the (0:16:42) Al: Joker, except, except in the, in the last episode, we find out that she’s not actually the daughter (0:16:43) Kev: I feel like this should be a greenhouse, I have so many questions! (0:16:56) Al: of the Joker. (0:16:58) Al: She’s actually the daughter of Harvey Dent, because Harvey Dent has a disassociative identity (0:17:00) Kev: Okay. (0:17:02) Kev: Help! (0:17:02) Kev: sadly HOOO! (0:17:08) Al: disorder, and his other identity was the one that was in a relationship with Duella, his (0:17:17) Al: character’s mother, and so he didn’t know that she existed because he obviously then (0:17:22) Al: goes back to his other personality and has no idea that this has happened. (0:17:28) Al: Due characters are random people, they’re just kind of like low-level criminal brother (0:17:35) Al: and sister, and then they’re also randomly throwing a girl who happens to be a Robin, (0:17:43) Al: and she’s actually Batman sidekick, but she kind of forced her way into the role, like (0:17:49) Al: he didn’t want her sort of thing, so that is vaguely interesting, but yeah, this follows (0:17:54) Al: the four of them and one of (0:17:58) Al: Turner, whose Bruce Wayne’s adopted son, find them trying to out the real killers, who is (0:18:05) Al: the Court of Owls. For those who don’t know, they’re like a standard secretive society (0:18:12) Al: that exists in the DC Comics. Exactly. And Harvey Dent is a district attorney. Is that (0:18:12) Kev: Yup, you’re Illuminati. (0:18:23) Al: the term. Running to be mayor. (0:18:28) Al: And this is like pre him being Two-Face, and he like becomes Two-Face in the last (0:18:32) Kev: Okay. (0:18:36) Al: five seconds of the show sort of thing. Right before, exactly right before they’re cancelled. (0:18:38) Kev: Of course, right before they’re cancelled. Good times. Good times! (0:18:44) Al: So this, I’m not gonna say this show is bad because like it’s, I actually think that as a show, (0:18:51) Al: it’s not bad. I think it was actually vaguely enjoyable. Like if you have very limited time (0:18:58) Al: to watch TV, there are probably plenty of things that are better that you would want to watch, but (0:19:03) Al: I did enjoy it. I do not know why on earth this is a DC show. The only characters that exist are (0:19:13) Al: Harvey Dent and well, Bruce Wayne, but he’s dead, right? Like he only exists to create the story. (0:19:14) Kev: Mm hmm. Yeah. (0:19:22) Al: And basically everybody else is a made up character. They’ve got the court of owls, (0:19:26) Kev: I’m I’m I’m so like dwella or dwella whatever her name is that she’s (0:19:26) Al: but like. (0:19:28) Al: Oh, is she? (0:19:31) Kev: apparently an existing character and and the Harper the bluebird she goes by (0:19:37) Kev: bluebird in the comic and other apparently existing characters and (0:19:40) Al: OK, it just like I don’t. (0:19:40) Kev: cullenra I don’t know what obscure though they are very obscure I don’t I (0:19:44) Al: They’re very obscure and it’s not really like any of that affects the story, right? (0:19:44) Kev: don’t know them (0:19:49) Al: They could do they could absolutely have and I think it actually would have been (0:19:52) Al: a more enjoyable thing if it wasn’t so tied into the DC universe and it was just like (0:19:58) Al: like as a teen a teen mystery kind of crime show, I think it would actually be quite enjoyable, (0:20:00) Kev: The mystery show mm-hmm (0:20:06) Kev: Sure (0:20:09) Al: but then it then oh look it’s Batman, you know, and it’s like just feels a bit weird, (0:20:15) Al: but yeah, it was it was it was fine. Yeah. (0:20:15) Kev: Okay (0:20:21) Kev: Okay, that’s that this is fascinating that’s a shame it got canceled because this is this is a wild description everything you said (0:20:30) Al: Yeah, I’m very intrigued as to where they were planning on taking it. There’s a whole (0:20:34) Al: but the standard like here are 10 things that happen in the last episode that are all setting (0:20:40) Al: up the second series. And yeah, I’m intrigued as to where they were going with that. (0:20:46) Kev: Yeah, I mean yeah, there’s there’s a lot to unpack there. Um, well (0:20:51) Al: I also feel like it would have been better fully self-contained like if they hadn’t shoved (0:20:55) Al: all that stuff in at the end, like they didn’t have Harvey Dent turning into Two-Face. (0:21:00) Al: And they didn’t have Turner Hayes being kidnapped and everybody thinking he was murdered and taken (0:21:06) Al: to, I think it was Raj Al Ghul at the end, or maybe it was someone else. He said that he (0:21:13) Al: trained Batman, so I’m assuming he’s meant to be Raj Al Ghul, but they don’t actually say for certain, (0:21:18) Al: so I’m not sure. But it’s all there. (0:21:21) Kev: Oh, good times, good times (laughs) (0:21:28) Al: So, yeah, it was it was a thing. And that was what so I’ve now almost caught up with (0:21:33) Al: the DC shows. I have season three of Stargirl to watch. And then I think that’s the live (0:21:38) Al: action that is. Obviously, I’ve got a lot of animated stuff still to go. But that’ll (0:21:42) Al: be me caught up with the live action DC shows. I have plumbed every, every possible corner (0:21:50) Al: of the shows to figure out what is good and what is not. And there we go. And I’m not (0:21:58) Al: with that information. (0:22:00) Kev: Oh, you’re- you’re- you’re- I think you’re a stronger man than me to going through all this. This is wild. Wild stuff. (0:22:06) Al: This is this is not the worst DC show I’ve seen by far, like. (0:22:10) Kev: Oh, I’m sure. Yeah, no, it- (0:22:12) Kev: No, I’m just- I’m just saying, this- you’re going to all the corners, like, that’s- that’s a lot. But yeah, no, I’m sure there’s much, much worse, um, I can’t think of any, but I know. laughs (0:22:22) Al: So now I get to, now I get to treat myself by going back and watching the good animated (0:22:26) Kev: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Um, dang, that’s- that’s fascinating. (0:22:27) Al: shows now, so. There is that. Have you been watching the new Superman one? (0:22:32) Kev: Uh, no, but I watch- well, okay, I’ve not watched a show, but I’ve watched a lot of it, uh, through- where? Let’s say that. laughs (0:22:33) Al: Oh (0:22:42) Kev: Um, it’s- it- it’s- it’s fascinating. They- like, I mean, first of all, they’re updating all the characters to give ’em a little more flavor, like, you know, everyone’s not white anymore. (0:22:44) Al: It’s really good, I’m really enjoying it. (0:22:52) Al: Yeah (0:22:54) Kev: Um. laughs (0:22:57) Al: What (0:22:59) Al: They did that in they did that in the the arrow verse as well like (0:23:03) Al: Jimmy Jimmy was was instead of like a small white (0:23:08) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:23:08) Al: Wimpy guy. He was a big black buff dude (0:23:12) Kev: Yeah, that’s awesome, that’s dope (0:23:14) Al: Yeah, I like how different you know just completely different (0:23:17) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I like that. Um, yeah (0:23:20) Al: He was he was not a traditional narrative you just (0:23:22) Al: big guy who liked taking photos they turn it they turn him into a superhero as well by the end of it (0:23:24) Kev: Yeah, oh that’s that’s great I love that cuz (0:23:29) Kev: Of course because yeah (0:23:31) Al: not with powers but like he’s he’s literally just uh he he puts on a suit and he goes and beats (0:23:36) Al: people up with a shield yeah yeah this is what I love the most about comic book stories right (0:23:38) Kev: I mean, hey, Batman, right, like… (0:23:41) Kev: Um… (0:23:42) Kev: But yeah, no, like, Jimmy Olsen’s the most nothing ever, so you can turn him into whatever, and it’s fine. (0:23:53) Al: what you can do is you can you you have like a basis to build on and then you can do different (0:23:59) Al: things with them and like I really love without spoilers I really love what they’re doing with (0:24:03) Al: like kara um in this in this season it’s it’s really different and yeah so I i just I love when (0:24:11) Al: they take existing characters and say but what if we do it differently (0:24:14) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I like I like her a lot from the the new show. I’ve seen her lots lots of cool moments and her character and arc and stuffs (0:24:25) Kev: Yeah, and boy do they like their anime cuz there’s a lot anime references abound in that one (0:24:32) Kev: Yeah, good stuff (0:24:34) Kev: Yeah, yeah, um (0:24:36) Al: And we got the new Batman one coming as well (0:24:38) Kev: There’s another Batman oh my gosh, I haven’t kept up with this I’m looking (0:24:42) Al: No, but this is this this one looks good this one looks good is being touted as the spiritual successor to the Batman the animated series (0:24:49) Kev: Ohh, don’t sell yourself like that! (0:24:52) Kev: Umm, that’s… that’s our… that’s just setting yourself up to fail. (0:24:57) Kev: Um, that’s… here’s the thing though, like, a lot of the… (0:25:01) Kev: Batman shows I think are pretty good, or the cart to animated ones. (0:25:04) Kev: Regardless of what they look like, or what they are. (0:25:08) Kev: Um, but yeah, uh… (0:25:11) Kev: Oh, shoot! Oh, it’s Bruce Timm! Okay, maybe it is a bit better than… (0:25:14) Kev: Bruce Timm’s actually on it. (0:25:16) Al: …Caped Crusader, that sort of thing. (0:25:16) Kev: Yeah. Oh, okay, maybe. (0:25:19) Kev: Oh, I didn’t know Bruce Jim was on it, nevermind. Maybe, maybe. (0:25:22) Kev: We’ll give it a shot. (0:25:24) Al: And there’s the new Cape Man series coming soon as well. (0:25:26) Kev: Oh my gosh, I saw that. (0:25:30) Kev: One thing I saw on Twitter is a tweet that said that how Kipeman got a series before Wonder Woman did. (0:25:36) Al: I love I presume you’ve seen the Harley Quinn series. (0:25:37) Kev: Good times. (0:25:40) Kev: I’ve seen, again, bits and parts of it. Yeah. (0:25:44) Al: I just it’s really good and I love the idea of having a spinoff Kite Man series is just (0:25:50) Al: perfectly in character for that whole show. Like of course, of course that’s the first (0:25:52) Kev: The tone yeah (0:25:57) Al: spinoff they would do from that. Like why wouldn’t they? Like it would just the most (0:25:57) Kev: Yeah (0:26:00) Al: ridiculous idea. (0:26:01) Kev: Yeah, absolutely (0:26:05) Kev: So the Aquaman do you see wasn’t that (0:26:06) Al: I am half expecting them to announce a third DLC for this game, you know just after we (0:26:14) Kev: I abs- right? (0:26:16) Al: finish the episodes. (0:26:18) Kev: I mean, yeah, like, absolutely cuz (0:26:22) Kev: Reg made sense (0:26:25) Kev: Godzilla was a huge get, holy moly, um, and I- I expect (0:26:34) Al: They did announce a new collaboration, but it’s not in their game. It’s their game in (0:26:40) Al: something else. Let me find what it was. Because they announced it like three days ago as we’re (0:26:45) Al: recording, and Kelly was like, “Oh, there’s a new DLC!” and we looked at it and went, (0:26:49) Al: “No, wait, that’s not a DLC in Dave the Diver. Nikkei? N-I-K-K-E? Goddess of victory?” (0:26:51) Kev: Can we get… (0:26:54) Kev: Nie-J! Wait, Jason’s like, “What?! What?!” (0:26:58) Al: Okay, so they have, and I’m not kidding, this is not a joke, they have recreated (0:27:04) Al: the Dave the Diver game inside the Nikkei game. (0:27:10) Kev: Is that how it works because I was very good. Okay. Oh my god. Okay. Are you for new kid at all? (0:27:18) Kev: Okay, so I am somewhat familiar Nick gave the premise of I’ve never put I haven’t played it myself but um (0:27:24) Kev: So it is a gotcha shooter. I guess I’m like over-the-shoulder third-person like XCOM style shooter (0:27:32) Kev: It’s a mobile game. I believe I believe it’s actually quite good for when I hear the gameplay is actually quite good. Um, (0:27:38) Kev: but it (0:27:40) Kev: It okay, so it’s a gotcha game, and of course you’re pulling your different shooters and whatnot, but (0:27:47) Kev: Here’s here’s the kicker. Here’s the sauce (0:27:52) Kev: The characters are all anime girls, and you know what comes with that (0:27:56) Al: Yeah, I can tell from the images that I’m seeing on the Dave the Diver collaboration. (0:28:00) Kev: Yeah, yeah, so to hear Dave the diver go to that was wild (0:28:09) Al: So what it seems to be is it’s a minigame within Nikkei, but it’s like it just looks (0:28:14) Al: like the entire Dave the Diver game, right, like you see them, so some of the characters (0:28:20) Al: from Nikkei get transported into Dave the Diver and they’re like in like wetsuits and (0:28:26) Al: got their harpoon guns and stuff. And then you actually see them like playing the game, (0:28:33) Al: like going around and harpooning fish and picking up items and then they go to the sushi (0:28:38) Al: bar and it looks like they’ve just recreated the game. Let me show you, let me send you (0:28:41) Kev: I’m once looking at the pictures and (0:28:43) Al: this link. You need to watch this video. It’s just, it’s wild. There’s a video on the link (0:28:47) Kev: AHHH! This is WAAH! (0:28:52) Al: that I sent you, it literally just looks like the game. Which is why we initially (0:28:56) Al: thought it was a DLC for a Day of the Diver because it looks so much like it. (0:29:06) Kev: But oh my gosh, that’s why I had no idea. I didn’t hear this about this one at all. I love it though (0:29:13) Kev: Um, and yeah, I love it there. Do you have your anime girls and there’s dave? Um, just just david (0:29:19) Kev: Oh dave. I love dave man (0:29:23) Kev: Um (0:29:24) Kev: I’m pulling out the video one second. Let’s take a second (0:29:27) Kev: um (0:29:28) Kev: man that (0:29:30) Kev: my guess (0:29:31) Kev: before since nike which (0:29:33) Kev: took me completely off by surprise I was going to (0:29:36) Kev: say power wash simulator and have a david diver dlc and power washing the boat or the (0:29:42) Al: Yeah! (0:29:46) Kev: sushi bar or something, it could absolutely work, um, yeah that’s my uh (0:29:52) Al: That’s fine, we’ll get Cody to cover that one then, because they’ve completely finished the Powerwash simulation. (0:29:58) Kev: I need to get into that Powerwash Swiss. (0:30:01) Kev: Oh my god, I’m watching the video now. (0:30:03) Kev: Oh, there he is! (0:30:04) Kev: Oh my god! (0:30:05) Kev: What did we want? (0:30:07) Kev: There’s Dave. (0:30:08) Kev: Oh, there’s, they’re transforming. (0:30:11) Kev: They got warped into the boat. (0:30:12) Kev: Oh my god, wow, even the UI and stuff, it is just recreated! (0:30:16) Al: Yeah, what did I tell you? (0:30:18) Kev: Wow! (0:30:20) Kev: That is just Dave the Diver in… (0:30:22) Kev: Wow, man, that’s a Mark of… (0:30:26) Kev: Well the fish look this- (0:30:29) Al: uh-huh they’ve even got like the different weapons as well (0:30:30) Kev: They, uh… (0:30:33) Kev: That’s what it is (0:30:36) Kev: Wait look like they have the Boncho scenes? (0:30:39) Kev: They just have them in there. They just actually just put it in there. They’re running the restaurant. Oh my (0:30:45) Kev: Wow, Nikkei was rich enough to just add the entire game in there. Okay. Oh, there it is (0:30:51) Kev: There is the Nikkei costumes I was looking for (0:30:55) Kev: But that’s wild it’s just (0:30:58) Al: Yeah, what’s the thing? Can you imagine another game just adding a game into their game as (0:31:04) Kev: I mean, I mean port night does it all the time, but like that’s what I’m saying. You got to be (0:31:04) Al: a minigame? Yeah, sure, but they’re one of the biggest game of all time. This is a big (0:31:10) Kev: Yeah, I know you got to be rich enough to do that and well, I guess Niki (0:31:15) Kev: Shot you this might surprise you up, but Niki does one actually being a (0:31:21) Kev: Being a shooter and gotcha game and anime here. So yeah. All right. They could probably (0:31:23) Al: No. (0:31:28) Al: People like the anime girls with big guns, really? (0:31:33) Kev: Oh, okay. (0:31:34) Al: OK, so Dave the Diver, half an hour in, (0:31:35) Kev: Yes, let’s- (0:31:37) Kev: What is Dave the Diver? Our listener’s pets. (0:31:40) Al: and we’re finally talking about the game. (0:31:42) Al: Yes, so, I guess, quick intro to the game, (0:31:44) Al: in case anybody doesn’t know. (0:31:46) Al: The idea is it is a diving fishing game. (0:31:50) Al: So you dive into the water and you catch fish through a variety of means and you use those fish to then make sushi in the sushi restaurant that you don’t own but you essentially run and therefore essentially get all the profits even though you don’t own it and the owner is the chef. (0:32:14) Al: It’s all a bit weird. Confusing. But that’s essentially… (0:32:16) Kev: I thought the owner was Cobra. Not the owner’s Cobra, isn’t it? (0:32:21) Kev: No, I’m pretty sure Bunch is just the head chef. Yeah, no, I’m pretty sure Cobra is the owner. So (0:32:21) Al: Is Bancho not owned it? (0:32:22) Al: It’s been so long since I’ve… (0:32:24) Al: Hmm. (0:32:26) Kev: Here, let me take it back (0:32:29) Kev: even further let me (0:32:31) Al: It’s financed by Cobra, financed by Cobra and run by Bancho. (0:32:32) Kev: Is it okay, maybe. Well, he’s making money off of it. There you go. Well poor Dave (0:32:39) Al: But you seem to get all of the profit profits from it. (0:32:41) Kev: Of course poor Dave needs to be assertive more assertive because uh (0:32:46) Kev: He was literally on vacation when the guy Cobra calls him up and just tells him hey (0:32:50) Kev: You’re gonna go dive fishing now and run the restaurant and do everything else and he just always agrees (0:32:51) Al: Yeah. (0:33:00) Al: So, that’s a quick intro to the game. (0:33:03) Al: Give us your very quick what you feel about the game before we get into the details. (0:33:08) Kev: Okay, um, the games excellently. What can I say right like the so it’s it’s pixel art and and it’s fine pixel art (0:33:17) Kev: the (0:33:18) Al: It’s very detailed pixel art. (0:33:19) Kev: Yeah, it is. Um, it’s (0:33:23) Kev: the gameplay is fun in catching the fish and and whatnot the (0:33:29) Kev: The upgrades are all satisfying and and and the progression feels natural and in goes well (0:33:38) Kev: like (0:33:40) Kev: You know all the mechanical stuff like it’s great when the game knocks out of the park (0:33:44) Kev: But I think always more important for me is the feel or the aesthetic the vibes whatever you want to call it (0:33:50) Kev: And I think they do great. It’s a very comical game (0:33:53) Kev: The writing is is entertaining (0:33:57) Kev: Again the character Dave I love him a lot and (0:34:00) Kev: The other part that they get right is the underwater portion (0:34:05) Kev: Fish are all accurately represented they’re all (0:34:08) Kev: well that’s majority of them are real life fish (0:34:12) Kev: and you can learn about them and then (0:34:14) Al: Yeah. I wouldn’t say vast majority, but you’ve not got to that point. But yeah, (0:34:18) Al: majority. I’ll go with majority. (0:34:19) Kev: let’s say the majority yes (0:34:22) Kev: uh… and then you get to the you know you go the whole gamut of the sea the (0:34:27) Kev: tropical fish down to (0:34:30) Kev: horrifying deaths with the monstrosities the the real life monstrosities and the (0:34:34) Kev: fake monstrosities down there (0:34:38) Kev: all like just thumbs up everywhere like I don’t have any (0:34:41) Kev: big complaints I can’t go about the top my head (0:34:44) Kev: uh… what about you out what do you (0:34:47) Al: Yeah, I’m mostly on the same page as you. It’s super fun. The two main things being (0:34:54) Al: the fishing and the sushi restaurant, they are good fun. You’re absolutely right. It (0:34:59) Al: doesn’t take itself seriously because I’m literally catching fish by swimming through (0:35:05) Al: and stabbing them. Sure, you’ve got your harpoon, and that’s a standard way to fish, but you’ve (0:35:12) Al: also got literally guns and a knife, and you can just walk up to a shark and… (0:35:17) Al: You can swim up to a shark and hit it with a baseball bat. Or there’s also if you encountered (0:35:22) Kev: - Yep, or the toy hammer. (0:35:27) Al: the baseball itself, you can get baseball. You can throw baseballs at sharks. They actually (0:35:29) Kev: I haven’t found the baseball. (0:35:34) Al: do a lot of damage, but yeah. It definitely doesn’t take it seriously, and it’s really (0:35:39) Al: fun, but it tries to do kind of vague realism with the fish, and it’s… (0:35:48) Al: It’s not super easy. There is some challenge to it, especially later on in the game, and (0:35:51) Kev: - Yeah, I can imagine. (0:35:54) Kev: - Mm-hmm. (0:35:54) Al: especially catching some of the fish with some of the boss battles and stuff like that. (0:36:01) Al: But yeah, no, super fun, super silly. Definitely my humour. I really enjoyed it overall. I (0:36:07) Al: do have a few complaints, but they’re mostly around the fact that there are about 10 random (0:36:15) Al: many games that exist in the game. (0:36:17) Al: There’s a point where you’re like ‘here’s an ice pick’ and you have to use the ice (0:36:26) Kev: That’s why… (0:36:36) Al: pick to pick through a sheet of ice, and that happens once. Ever. And if you fail it, you (0:36:40) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:36:43) Al: just try it again. Right? Like, a lot of these (0:36:44) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:36:47) Al: minigames feel a bit like WarioWare to me, when it’s like, right, you have 10 seconds (0:36:49) Kev: Hmm (0:36:52) Al: to figure out what you’re doing, otherwise you’ve failed and you have to try again. (0:36:56) Al: And it just feels like, what was the point in that? Like, these random, like, they aren’t (0:37:01) Al: part of the core, they’re completely different type of gameplay to everything else in the (0:37:05) Al: game. And I just, it’s really weird. The other thing is, have you done any of the VIP, the (0:37:14) Al: new items. (0:37:18) Al: So like random people will turn up to your sushi restaurant and they’ll say, (0:37:21) Al: “Hey, I want this specific thing.” And you have to go and gather the ingredients for (0:37:22) Kev: Yeah, yeah. (0:37:26) Al: that specific thing, and then two days later you take them to the sushi restaurant, (0:37:31) Al: Banjo will cook them sushi, and then you get success and you win some money. (0:37:34) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you unlock things that way. A lot of things that way. (0:37:39) Al: You do, but I did about five or six of them, and then randomly they started (0:37:47) Al: extra minigames to make Banjo cook them the sushi. You start cooking it yourself. (0:37:50) Kev: What? (0:37:52) Kev: I haven’t gotten there wha- (0:37:53) Al: It’s actually Banjo, but you’re controlling Banjo to do that. (0:37:57) Al: And I have no idea why, like the first five or six, it’s just gather the ingredients, (0:38:00) Al: you see a cut scene, the person eats it, they’re like, “Wow, it’s amazing.” (0:38:04) Al: And then you’ve unlocked a new menu item. What’s the recipe? There’s one I’m looking for. (0:38:10) Al: Recipe is the word I’m looking for. You unlock a new recipe, you win some money, (0:38:14) Al: you get some thumbs up on your cookstart app. (0:38:17) Al: Great, fantastic. But then, like, I’ve done two. Two out of the seven I’ve done, (0:38:23) Al: they make you do six different minigames to cook the sushi. And I’m like, one, why? (0:38:30) Al: Right? Like, I just don’t know why. Two, why is this a change? Why were they all not like this? (0:38:37) Al: This is really random, the change up here. (0:38:38) Kev: that is wild that is very random because I’ve been playing for a while and haven’t encountered (0:38:44) Kev: that yet and that comes out of nowhere six that’s wild six out of seven right (0:38:46) Al: I didn’t get that till chapter six. I don’t know why they do that. Yes. Yeah. I don’t (0:38:57) Al: know why. I’ve got another one due in two days, and I don’t know whether that’s going (0:39:01) Al: to have minigames or not, but it just is really weird because I was like, oh, I was fully (0:39:06) Al: just expecting the cutscene and the person to like, wow, that’s amazing. And suddenly (0:39:11) Al: it was showing me these random WarioWare minigames. It’s so weird. (0:39:15) Kev: That is that is wild (0:39:16) Al: So that would that would be my biggest issue with the game. And it’s not a huge issue, (0:39:22) Kev: Soar yeah (0:39:25) Al: right? Because it’s not something that happens very often. None of them are really difficult. (0:39:28) Al: And if you fail them, I think other than the VIP menu items, other than that, I think you (0:39:33) Al: just retry them. But it just feels like this is not anything like the core gameplay. It’s (0:39:34) Kev: Yeah, yeah. (0:39:39) Kev: Yeah, it sounds jarring. (0:39:40) Al: and it is very jarring. You’re like, I’m, I’m, you know, swimming. (0:39:46) Al: I’m going around killing some fish. I’m doing some puzzles. I’m getting round and then suddenly (0:39:51) Al: it’s like, oh, no, you need to do this Ace Pick minigame. Or no, you need to do this. (0:39:56) Al: The drill, you did the drill one, I presume to get into the I think that’s quite early (0:39:58) Kev: Yeah, I forgot about the drill. Yeah (0:40:01) Al: on in. That’s the sort of thing I’m talking about. (0:40:05) Kev: Well, yeah, you know what that’s a good point like I yeah, yeah, I thought about the drill like (0:40:11) Al: You use that drill, you use that drill twice. (0:40:13) Kev: Yeah, you used to get in somewhere and it feels like you could use it somewhere else like (0:40:15) Al: In the whole game, twice. (0:40:19) Al: And never again, twice, ever. (0:40:22) Kev: That is if I all right, here’s my copium like if I were to try to make any sense out of this like they’re playing (0:40:29) Kev: Oh, obviously they’re still working on the game, right? We’re still getting updates and stuff. So, you know, maybe we’ll get a big (0:40:36) Kev: Postgame DLC even more of it. I don’t know but you’re right. Like (0:40:40) Kev: It is wild to think about I don’t think so either, but I’m just spitballing here (0:40:41) Al: I’d be very surprised if they ever come back to any of these again. It’s just this is what (0:40:54) Al: it is and it felt like they just had an idea for these and decided to put them in but they (0:40:58) Al: didn’t really want to add them in very much. It’s jarring. It’s a bit odd. It conflicts (0:41:09) Al: so much with the great gameplay that the brand- (0:41:11) Al: rest of the game is. And every time I encountered when I was just like, “Oh, not again.” I’d spend the one minute to do it, and then I’d be like, “Thank goodness that’s over, and I know they’ll never have to do that one again.” (0:41:15) Kev: Yeah. (0:41:19) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:41:22) Kev: Mm. (0:41:23) Al: Then you move on and you continue playing the game that you’re actually enjoying. (0:41:26) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I g- huh. (0:41:29) Kev: That is so odd, like, I just wonder if they were trying to break up the, like, the pacing, or, or didn’t want the game to feel too monotonous, because, like, how could I put this? (0:41:42) Al: It doesn’t stop that, though, because it’s like 10 different things that only take 30 (0:41:44) Kev: Yeah. (0:41:46) Kev: Yeah. (0:41:47) Kev: Yeah, I don’t know. (0:41:47) Al: seconds each. (0:41:49) Al: It doesn’t really do that. (0:41:49) Kev: I’m, I’m baffled. (0:41:51) Kev: I’m just trying to figure it out, but I, I’m just as puzzled as you are. (0:41:54) Al: Anyway, that’s my main complaint. (0:42:00) Al: It’s not a huge one, and it’s just like I’m now done with those so I don’t have to worry (0:42:04) Al: about them again. (0:42:05) Al: You know, if I want to continue playing, I can finish doing all the collection and stuff (0:42:09) Al: like that and finish all that which is always fun. (0:42:12) Al: Yeah, it’s just a bit weird. Should we talk about some of the actual mechanics then? (0:42:16) Kev: All right, yeah, yeah, okay, so (0:42:17) Al: Get into the good stuff. Talk to us about diving. (0:42:19) Kev: Yes, let’s start with that right cuz that’s that’s the name of the game and it would say it’s the primary mechanic (0:42:27) Kev: Okay, so (0:42:29) Kev: the at the start of the game (0:42:32) Kev: the game day is broken up into three phases morning afternoon and night and (0:42:37) Kev: Here’s your first two phases of morning and afternoon to go diving and hunt fish (0:42:42) Kev: and it’s pretty (0:42:46) Kev: At least at the beginning. I think it’s fairly it’s (0:42:48) Kev: Relatively simple or straightforward that the basic one is harpooning (0:42:52) Kev: So you you move around with Dave you have a limited air supply because you’re diving of course (0:42:58) Kev: And the air supply is essentially your HP. There’s no timer, but the the age the air is going down (0:43:04) Al: Yep. There’s a timer that you can reset, yeah. (0:43:05) Kev: so there’s a sort of (0:43:07) Kev: inherent timer, but you can find (0:43:10) Kev: Exactly. Yes, you can find (0:43:13) Kev: supplies of oxygen throughout the map. (0:43:16) Kev: And so you swim around you you have your harpoon gun which you what is it (0:43:29) Kev: like there’s ZR or a whatever and then a little targeting reticle shows up kind (0:43:35) Kev: of like the angle you’re supposed to fire the harpoon and you push the other (0:43:39) Kev: button and it fires it and it hits the fish and that at the most basic level is (0:43:46) Kev: is how you catch fish. Now of course that they add a lot more to that because (0:43:53) Kev: early on in the very like surface level a lot of the fish are small and easy to (0:43:58) Kev: catch but later on some fish will require actually multiple harpoonings to (0:44:03) Kev: get because they have more quote-unquote HP or what have you. As Al said you are (0:44:11) Kev: given a melee weapon you have a knife by default but you can find other ones (0:44:14) Kev: throughout the map. (0:44:16) Kev: The baseball bat, the sword, the hammer, things like that. (0:44:20) Al: The sleepy hammer. It’s so sick because it puts them to sleep. You’re just like knocking them out. (0:44:21) Kev: Yep, the squeaky hammer, that is a good one. (0:44:23) Kev: Yep, yep, yep, yep. (0:44:28) Kev: And you can use those, but they are a little riskier because some of the fish can damage you. (0:44:33) Kev: There are aggressive fish, as the ocean is. (0:44:38) Kev: And when they attack you, you lose oxygen, essentially. (0:44:41) Kev: Again, that’s your timer and your HP bar. (0:44:43) Kev: Um, uh, (0:44:46) Kev: Uh, later on you get guns, as Al said, um, which, uh, do not capture the fish as the harpoon does, but inflict a lot more damage. There’s a, uh, (0:44:57) Al: I think you know exactly what they do, they shit them. That’s it. (0:44:59) Kev: Yeah, there’s a few different ones. There’s like a long range, a close range. Uh, there’s actually a net gun that can catch some of them live, but that’s a, that’s a bit trickier. But, but yeah. Um, and you need the guns because later on, uh, some of those, uh, like, for instance, (0:45:16) Kev: imagine a shark will be a lot more HP heavy than a little fish and it will attack you. So just trying to harpoon it over and over, it will be a bit difficult. So use the gun to weaken the fish essentially. Um, some fish actually like the sharks cannot be actually harpooned. Uh, you just have to straight up kill them, um, uh, to get their meat and whatnot. (0:45:38) Al: although although you can use the harpin to damage (0:45:40) Kev: You can use the harpoon to damage on it. That is correct. Um, because the guns do have ammo and you, (0:45:46) Kev: they’re just, you know, ammo refills throughout the map. But if you run out of ammo, you have to switch to the harpoon to try to finish them off or whatnot. Um, yeah. And I, and of course that there’s a wide variety of fish. And sometimes they, they have different attacks or patterns or whatnot. Right. Some fish will charge it. You some will like jellyfish will try to sting you or generate electricity. There’s even a jellyfish that explodes, um, (0:46:16) Kev: which is what you see here. Yes, I have. (0:46:16) Al: Oh yeah. Have you managed to catch one of them yet? Yeah. That was really difficult because (0:46:21) Al: I was looking through my decks and I was like, “Oh, I’m missing one from the depths.” And (0:46:25) Kev: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s a kicker with that one. You have to act fast because even if it doesn’t hurt you, it still blows up like, you know, like a vault’s work or whatever. Um, (0:46:28) Al: I saw it was, “Oh, it’s that jellyfish, isn’t it?” And I’m like, “Oh, I need to catch it (0:46:32) Al: before it blows up.” (0:46:42) Al: - Yeah, and if it sets itself off and you shoot it, (0:46:46) Kev: Uh-huh. (0:46:46) Al: then it will blow up, right? (0:46:47) Al: So you need to either attack it without it seeing you (0:46:50) Al: or you need to catch it or stun it or something like that. (0:46:53) Al: There’s like, you can’t, you can’t just, (0:46:55) Al: ‘cause like, so you spend most of the time just going, (0:46:57) Al: oh, I’ll just whittle down their HP, kill them, (0:46:59) Al: and then catch them, but that doesn’t work for that (0:47:02) Al: ‘cause it just blows up. (0:47:02) Kev: Right right right right um (0:47:05) Kev: Yeah, and at least from what I’ve encountered. I think that’s kind of the general flow of how you go diving (0:47:11) Kev: but (0:47:12) Kev: Of course you can upgrade all you know a lot of equipment to upgrade you can upgrade your guns your harpoon (0:47:20) Kev: You can upgrade your diving suit to go deeper. You can upgrade your oxygen tank to the last longer (0:47:27) Kev: and there’s probably a few other ones I can’t remember right now, but (0:47:31) Kev: But yeah, they are (0:47:33) Kev: You catch all these fish and then you make mone

And that's exactly what X-Men 2: Clone Wars did. This game is awesome. It's a classic 16-bit beat 'em up, and you play as a bunch of the X-Men (and Magneto). What's awesome is that each character has strengths and weaknesses, and they all play differently. So not only does that open the door to a little strategy talk, but it gives you a bunch of replayability as well. And believe me, you'd be replaying this game anyway, because it's pretty damned tough. The Cyclops to my Gambit, my buddy Chris, is my guest this week. He's a card-carrying Sega kid and he gave me a call to sing this game's praises. The graphics, the gameplay, the characters; all praise worthy. (We do crap on the camera a little bit). And before we join the X-Men l, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks why 2023 was such a banner year for video games. Have we found a definitive answer for what's considered "retro"? And where do I stand on the WarioWare series? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too!

For this very "nice" episode, we decided to take a brief diversion from our usually scheduled program to take a look at the House MD video game. Writer and game developer Chris Kopcow returns to the show for a video game that looks like if you stuck WarioWare and a visual novel in a blender and then covered the whole thing in WikiHow illustrations. Our particular experience was also narrated by someone who referred to themself as the "House of Let's Players" but this was like ten years ago so we try not to be too harsh. Enjoy this fun episode, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled program next episode!

In honor of Super Mario RPG coming out this week for the Nintendo Switch, we're reminiscing about our favorite Samus Aran cameos from over the years! From the most famous cameos, like the aforementioned Mario RPG bed spot to Samus rocking out with the cello, to some more obscure appearances, like the classic F1 Racing and Picross, to a whole schwack of crazy WarioWare guest spots, we go through them all to decide which one is the best! We also shout out some classic Metroid-in-general cameos like the Rocket League Gunship skin to appearances that never happened, like Fortnite in this action-packed episode! We're also giving our thought and reactions on the recently announced Zelda movie and what it could mean for a live-action Metroid movie going forward, PLUS touching on some cool titles shown in todays Indie Direct!

In this INAUGURAL episode of Big Game Hunger, Janet Garcia joined Jenna Stoeber in making a video game based on three prompts: Video game attached to massive IP Childish WarioWare mini game collection. OBVIOUSLY they made a game based on the most massive car-and-family-based IP of all time, Fast & Furious. (Sorry about it, Disney's Cars). The WarioWare mini games are a little trickier to finesse - you need a particular balance of absurdity and cars, which a serious, down-to-earth franchise like Fast & Furious makes difficult. How will they manage! Follow Janet Garcia on every social media here, watch her streams on Twitch, and listen to her podcast, Indie Council! Thank you for listening to Big Game Hunger!

For the second week in a row we snuck into the Nintendo offices under cover of broad daylight and took a peek at an upcoming game - this time the Joy-Con Swan-Song WarioWare: Move It! Plus we review the new worlds-within-worlds puzzle adventure Cocoon from former Limbo/Inside developers, and jump back into Cyberpunk 2077 to see how much the new patches and DLC have changed the game. All this plus a ton of news and more, on the podcast that I personally enjoy calling “Filthy Casuals”.
