It's a catch-up week around here as Brad and Vinny barrel toward the end of Death Stranding 2, Alex breaks the seal on Megabonk, and we all come to terms with what Baby Steps is asking of us. In the news, more goings on with Game Pass, Circana's latest stats on how many people are (or aren't) buying games, Nintendo's possible Pikmin movie/show/something, and more. Plus, David Lynch's house for sale, furniture made out of video game characters, and more of your emails!

Just gonna say, the return of Fright or Shite is giving me the life i need this week, thank you.

Zevo flying insect trap for sure for the fruit fly issue if the vinegar etc trap doesn’t make a fast dent!

The private lockers in Death Stranding 2 do have an individual cap of 500 items for each locker. There is also a combined cap of all private lockers that is much higher, but I don't know the exact number. You eventually get a message that all private lockers are full and you need to clear them up to store anything at all, honestly y'all probably won't have to worry about it because it is very high. Chiral crystals stored on your person also cap out at 100k before you need to store them to pick up more.

I love it when the episode is mostly talking about what you all are playing rather than what's new.

It's not for the truck itself, but there is a later equipment item that will help you collect crystals w/o leaving the truck. (not to mention other things to improve chiral crystal acquisition) Also if you're going to REALLY stockpile and try for an "all-in-one" delivery, save a couple items. You can't get more than one full star and multiple in the same delivery and would show you at .9 full on the next star even if the likes should fill it. But if you save one package and after you get back to controlling Sam, give them that extra package, you'll finish filling that star and go to where you're really at in the likes progress bar. There are some points for specific outposts where getting a new star is locked by story progress and/or fulfilling specific orders.

Never signed up for Gamepass because A) I saw this coming as soon as Microsoft announced the program and B) I have more than enough subscriptions as is.

I think Megabonk's Risk of Rain 2 influence is being under-recognized. It's clearly selling itself with Vampire Survivor in mind, but in terms of design ethos is borrowing pretty heavily from the ladder and not just the 3D movement aspect.

Also John Carpenter just played Queens last night!

For the Game Pass question, I’ve been an uninterrupted subscriber of PC Game Pass starting from the beta days. At first for free for over a year through some Dell code giveaway deal, then actually paying my $5, $10, $12, and now turning to $16.5 starting with November for me. I still have fond memories of playing my first game to the end on the service, The Outer Worlds. Felt like cheating the system, or being treated like a game reviewer / influencer with your free keys and such. My main issue is just not having enough time or energy to really take advantage of all the games that I genuinely would like to play, and are readily available to me there, yet I just never get around to it. Got a terrible backlog on Steam too, of all I already picked up on sales. In the end, many months have gone by with me having played zero games on Game Pass, despite the active subscription. Until now, I did not feel too bad about the waste of it. With this newest price hike, I think that has changed. I now plan to treat it like Ubisoft+, subscribing for a single month at a time, returning only when I have the time to actually make use of it. It would feel somewhat fitting to cancel right after I finish The Outer Worlds 2, for a while. I still think it’ll remain a good deal to return eventually every now and then, only not continuously. Primarily I aim to spend under $120 a year on it to show their greedy bean counters the error of their ways, how they were and would’ve made more money if they kept the price more reasonable.

"They'll call it machinima" had me laughing out loud.

I recently needed a new office chair, and went to the store to find the best one. Comfiest by far was a la-z-boy model. I too was amazed they still existed, but also just impressed with the chair. Sitting in it now.
