It's another show bursting at the seams this week, touching on Romeo Is a Dead Man, The Run, and Species: Unknown, with further thoughts on Dragon Quest VII, Cairn, and some Silent Hill f endingsmaxxing. And in the news, the rubber is meeting the road on the RAM crisis for Valve, Sony, and Nintendo, there's a new live-service Horizon game coming, Ryu Ga Gotoku's response to sexual assault allegations on the cast of the new Yakuza is... questionable, and more.

Alex cooked on Romeo Is A Dead Man

Just wanted to say that I’m all in for more Species Unknown on friday. Would be fun to watch with all four of you.

Diablo 2 got a freaking new expansion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vinny! I have an Ayn Thor and it can play Hollow Knight Silksong through PC emulation. I personally use Gamehub Lite and it works great but there are other options. Basically any lighter weight indie game will run on the device this way.

Me and my friends were so shocked in the best way. One of the best announcements for us in a very long time. Apparently the warlock is in its "younger" less experienced form in D2, and in D4 they aged it to be more masterful of the dark arts. So cool, they got it right.

Brad Arnold

My 13 year old has hated all of his generation’s trends and memes going back as far as Flossing and Baby Shark, so he was never on board with 6-7. We were out at a Benihana for his friend’s birthday last week and as we were leaving, a pack of teen girls shouted 6-7 at him - not in earnest but rather to bait the younger boy into doing the stupid thing. Without missing a beat, he just firmly said “No” and kept walking. I was pretty proud. The girls actually thought it was hilarious.

For the UFO item's bonus, that perk is based on the # of endings on your save file. So restarting at the critical branching point will work in terms of the achievements, but your NG++ will only be tracking one of them and not the other. And yes, the recover durability on unequipped weapons perk and rotating through knives and extra weapons can just let you literally slice through the combat at "lost in the fog" difficulty with minimal repair kits needed. They are "random" in terms of the ones you buy are grouped in "packs" dolled out in order. So the first several you are certainly getting in the same order other players are also getting. But after you get the ones the developers feel are essential to start, you'll eventually start dipping into the more random draws.

Kept hearing "zoom" as "Zune" during the Dragon Quest discussion and laughing to myself

Castor Troy

It's so much fun! I'd love to see the Nextlander guys play in a game together on stream.

Raymond

Why do most games media people act like Horizon games aren't big, since when is 20+ mill copies seen as only selling "well"? That's more than most of the other games that Alex thought they could bring back combined (being facetious here, not going to actually look up the numbers).

Jason Rumsey

Vinny your Thor can play silksong at least FOUR different ways! 1. Moonlight 2. Emulating the steam version (with full cloud save support) via game hub or winlator 3. Emulating the switch version 4. An android native recompilation of silksong exists, though probably more "sketchy" than the previous methods Anyway hope you get to experiment and enjoy your device!

Graeme Hobbs

I’m not interested in it, but Horizon is definitely the most obvious Sony IP to use for a Monster Hunter clone.
