You Keep It Copacetic | Sacred Symbols, Episode 345

When truly great games are delivered, players tend to respond. The industry's newest sales success is the long-awaited Kingdom Come: Deliverance sequel, which immediately sold a million copies upon release. But it's hardly alone. And the rest of this long year is already shaping up to be something special, with Metal Gear Solid Delta's release date leaking, Death Stranding 2's newest trailer drawing nearer, and EA's Battlefield finally toying with a real comeback. Other news this week includes the potential of a discless PlayStation 6, the arrival of more Xbox games on PS5 in the form of Age of Empires and Age of Mythology, Capcom's announcement of a port of PS2's Onimusha 2 for PlayStation 4, and more. Let's then round things out with listener inquiries, as is our tradition. What are our thoughts on the return of games media brand Rooster Teeth? Is Sony putting its own games on sale too quickly and too steeply, to its own detriment? Did EA executives really claim Dragon Age: The Veilguard failed because it wasn't live service? Will Colin ever recover from tendinitis, or are his weightlifting days over? Follow the hosts!

Best time of the week!! Believe it!

Laughing out loud at work, and no one else knows what the hell is right with you: priceless. Colin, 35 lb. dumbbells are completely fine for curling. You will see gains and definition. Overdoing and not resting during injury will only lead to surgery. Save the 45 pounders for dumbbell presses. A healthy diet with sufficient amounts of protein for recovery is also crucial. Rest up and you'll be back to your routine in no time.

Haha the one time I've gotta put on the video version of the show.

How the fuck are we this many episodes into the podcast and I'm just now learning about the tickly monster?

Local H hell yea, my first live gig featured one incredibly botched cover of Bound for the Floor loll

Colin, man, please interview Legendary Drops

Colin, there’s a book called Under Tiberius about Jesus being exactly that, a charlatan. It’s a really good read in case you’re looking for something to read in the pool this summer.

Colin, I have the same continuity of dreams from being in the military. When we get older we dream about big significant formative parts of our lives i think.

I'm so bored of the TLOU casting discourse. Its a goddamn TV *adaptation*, the characters don't have to look identical to how they looked in the game. The shit about Bella Ramsey being cast as Ellie was already old even before season 1 aired - and shock horror, she actually turned out to be pretty great in the role. And even if it wouldn't be your first choice for the role, it certainly didn't detract from the quality of the show itself, which was awesome. How about people wait and see how season 2 looks before losing their minds again. And yeah sure I kinda get raising your eyebrows a bit when comparing Dever's appearance to Abbie - but Druckmann's comments actually make perfect sense to me. We're watching a dramatic TV show, not playing an action adventure game. I could give a fuck if Dever is ripped or not, let's see how she actually performs in the role. And for people saying she's too small, well she's still bigger than Bella Ramsey so that showdown should still look fine

FORTY POUND DUMBELLS TO CURL ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? This is a rookie mistake that most people make for vanity reasons of course. The bicep is just a lil baby. That injury makes sense now though. If you are actually reading this, ask Cog. Someone with your ectomorphic build should really do 15lb til you can do 15 x 12 reps x 3 sets then graduate to 20 x 6 reps x 3 sets, 20 10, 20 12, 25 6... SLOW controlled movements. Focusing on the bicep as you curl. Weights completely extended down to your side, up to making around a 30° angle. Squeeze at the peak. Edit: oh yeah and don't bend your wrist. Focus the entire weight on your bicep. Bending your wrist will give the appearance you can indeed curl 30lbs weights but by doing so you are engaging your forearm to assist the bicep. Trust me when I say 20lbs at 12 reps 3 sets you will be screamin by the end. Anyway, feel better soon.

DUDE. No glasses, Naruto headband, longer hair: getting HEAVY Casey Jones vibes from Chris. Lol.

Shout out to Dustin’s joke “George Bush.” didn’t get the recognition it deserved

Looking forward to next week's discussion on this PSN outage.

To the listener question, bothered by Chris not finishing games… STAND DOWN! 😉 I think Chris has a grasp of his time in a different way than Colin’s ‘Platinum Path’ but it is no less respectable. Chris has different goals in mind, as well as being far more comfortable bouncing from a gaming experience that isn’t ‘clicking’ at the time. Saying that, I think Colin charges on for more reasons than just a Platinum. I think he respects the great equally with the not so, and feels a need to absorb something (like a sponge), before passing judgment. Salute to both strategies! 🫡

Dustin

Colin, 40 pounds for curling is not too much but it is too much for you right now. After your arm is better and you are lifting 30 lbs again with no problems, get some 35 lbs weights and continue on with your gains.

Chris

I think if the EU can force Apple to allow alternative storefronts on iPhone, it’ll push consoles to have a physical option for as long as possible, as it’d be their defense in a lawsuit based on that precedent. It may be even beneficial for Xbox to invite that lawsuit and create a legal environment where they’re allowed to launch a storefront on PlayStations and Switches.

Chris looks like he's about to go into the booth with Kendrick and spit 16 bars #ButImNotARapper
