no janet for kirby discussion 😭

Alex Swaim

The Wolverine discussion was frustrating here. Like - I obviously want you guys to be honest about your experiences with games, but also, everything that you described about Wolverine, even from those of you who were more positive on the game, just felt like the bare minimum for a functional AAA game. It feels like the gaming equivalent of Netflix’s second screen philosophy. It’s brain rot game design - at least it goes down easy and quick and frictionless! Again - I don’t fault anybody for sharing their honest opinions on it - but I guess what I’m getting at is this. If I tuned into a podcast where a bunch of film critics tell me that scrolling instagram reels for 2 hours is about as good as most movies - I would stop tuning into that podcast.

I love Minnmax and the positive energy but I’m not sure Wolverine, that seems to be mostly unremarkable, needed two of the people who played it being “weird and defensive” as you put it. Ben often has games that he enjoys for the “brain off” aspect of them, and that’s fine! But he doesn’t usually defend them as much as he accepts that it’s just that he’s undeniably having fun with them. The fact that the defence for the game didn’t amount to much more than that it’s fun I guess (which considering this is a podcast about games, things we play to be enjoyable as a bare minimum) it seems bizarre to be finding ways to “defend” it in a way I don’t feel like you guys have rightfully for other games.

So in Zelda sequels, it’ll all be the same Link and Zelda, which is interesting.

I thought dog water meant dog piss, but also apparently the slang goes back to the 60s meaning jizz.

The legend of Zelda: Soaked and Smoked

For Wolverine, I don't think I missed it but does the price point matter? What would you be willing to pay. $20, $50, or the $70 that it actually costs? $80 for the deluxe?

James B

i can’t remember at which point in the episode he said it, but ben said that you can find the early bonus pod episode where they talk about future visions of minnmax. what was the search term he said to use to find it? lol

Duderado

My bond rank with Hanson severely dropped after saying he can live without experiencing Ocarina. I'd rather die.

Tikwid

Of course Haley was in IB! I dropped out cause they wouldn't let me take as much music and art as I wanted. Dropout gang unite!

James B

hell yeah thanks!

Between Jacob's strong argument against games like Wolverine and expecting more from your media along with Leo's recent one sentence takedown of Blood Dungeon and those type of games, I've found myself really rethinking how I'm spending my time and why, when there's already too much great stuff, I'm spending any of my time on forgettable and dull fare.

John Reasnor

I work full time, have a family, and I’m in graduate school. “Popcorn games” that are being considered good and/or fun because it’s polished and functions just aren’t going to cut it. Not even close. Y’all are great, but I feel like this is the sort of game you might have some fun with if you have the time to waste on it and it’s free for you. I don’t think a lot of listeners are those people.

John Reasnor

Heck, I’m weeks behind on the podcast even. Haha!
