I don't know if it's patreon or whoever does the edits, but blue getting cut off 1 second too early a great running gag

Action RPG is a genre that exists since the SNES, it's just that action game developers have realized they can stretch the length of an action game with rpg elements, that's why the rpgification of action games is a thing. I don't think "games used to be better" is subjective to the genre but straight up subjective. Because there are games made like games from 10 years ago or older in every genre, it's just that the AAA marketing machine markets what makes more money, but if you look beyond what marketing or virality puts right in front of you, and research if a game that fits what you are looking for exists, most likely you will find that it does or someone is developing it. There are so many crunchy rpgs that are just complete games that you can get. Anything by Larian, the Solasta and Pathfinder games, a few Wild West rpgs even which is something that is very interesting to me and i think is a funny combination of genres. Or straight action games like most Capcom action games, horror is GREAT lately, both AAA and indie (Hollowbody, Crow Country, etc.) Also the DLC craze absolutely started during the PS3 era and got worse during the PS4, it's nothing recent, PS3 era Capcom was the worst they've ever been (thank god they got better about that), like locking the true ending behind DLC. As much as you can criticize nintendo on many things, i don't think Pokemon DLCs are a problem, to me those are more expansions than lil dlcs that make the game "not complete" without them, which is very different from the Fire Emblem Fates fiasco that is three routes of a game story sold as three games and is just the most anti consumer they have ever been. Fortunately it's not a very good story. They would not make that same mistake with Three Houses. There has been a Ubisoftification of AAA gaming with its dlcs, it's rpgified action games and live service games, but it is also not the whole current gaming landscape if you look beyond it.

Snow movies: Snow Day. I have no idea if it's good, but I remember liking it as a kid xD

It seems to me that Indigo just wants to play Strategy RPGs specifically whereas Blue wants to play action games that aren't Action RPGs. It's not that the two need to stop mixing, it's just that a subgenre that neither care for is more popular than the ones they do care for.

There are aspects of older games that I loved then and still love now. I've slung dice & done tabletop rpgs since 1973 & that sucked up my time, since I had a 'meh' PC which couldn't run much more than Sid Meier's 'Alpha C' & 'Civ3' until 2005. So in 2002 FFX was THE game that got me into consoles games & stole the leisure hours that live gaming didn't. FFX is what - 22? 23? years old now and it is still just about my fave console game. The soundtrack works well, the story & game-play is lovely. Visually it still competes with more modern games - although 'Baldur's Gate 3' is better ^_^ - and FFX is very much a 'comfort food' equivalent kind of game for me. However I 100% agree that getting a complete game can make a game SO much better IMO. I really don't like DLCs - unless the DLC gets bundled up with the original game ... which is how I ended up playing the DLCs for 'Fallout 3'.

Snow movie: Snow Dogs, it was a lot of fun.

so just saying this they didn't change Peter's face in insomniac Spider-man to look more like Tom Holland it was actually to fit the voice actors face better it looks similar to Tom Holland because of the hair

I feel that ultimately, whether a game [or anything, really] is "good" or "bad" is so entirely dependent on perspectives, nostalgia, and internal biases, that in the end what truly matters is personal enjoyment and having fun. For some reason a lot of people would disagree with me on this, and claim that games [and other things, from movies/tv to books to fashion to how sandwiches 'should be' assembled, and everything in between] are 100% serious business that must be treated as life and death. But that's why I don't have social media and rarely share things I like with anyone. Anyway. I agree with Indigo on how there's something nice about getting the entire game, with older games, rather than having to mess around with DLC and special editions. I also agree with Red, as I'm the same--I like games that let the player explore and experiment, and get really frustrated by games that basically go 'sorry, can't do that' or even worse, 'haha, you thought you could do xyz, well, too bad', and then I just drop them immediately. This is one reason why Hades is such a perfect game for me and why I love it so much, because it's so player-friendly, and allows near unlimited personal customization of weapons, boons, and upgrades based solely on what works for the player.

Blue, to answer your question from the opening of the main episode, coming from a Starbucks Barista, the Cold Buster, or, more popularly, the Medicine Ball is what it was called when it was a "secret menu" item. The "secret menu" is just a fancy name for modifications to menu items. When Starbucks added it to the actual menu, they named it the Honey Citrus Mint Tea to avoid lawsuits from people who would falsely assume something named Medicine Ball contained actual medicine, when, in actuality, it's just tea, honey, and steamed lemonade.
