I can’t believe Wiger DIDNT say, “I’m a H2Hoe”

Listening to the beginning of this episode while eating a peanut butter KitKat chunky makes me wonder where my cholesterol is at

The souls-like take definitely feels directed at people like me. I am not good with pattern recognition and general use brute level strength to beat them (I was level 360 when I platinumed Elden ring), but because I have no pattern rec, I struggle immensely at older games that lean into it. So maybe it’s a complaint that it’s making gamers like me lazier?

Loved the crew's take on my hot take! It's funny that Nick made the same "WillK, Won'tK" jokes last time my question made it onto the show : )

I wish game publishers offered a “complete edition” with the final build/patch on a physical medium. Let me buy FF VII Revelation in a single package with eight different discs. We’ve done this before, we can do it again!

I kind of share the take about From Software games. I don't know what "suck" meant to them but my personal meaning is that their PC ports are just technically flawed. The game pauses with fast forwards due to runtime shader compilation ruin the game. I've died to bosses because the game froze and then fast forwarded like 3 seconds of events after a new shader for an environment effect showed up. I gave up on Sekiro and Elden Ring a few hours into both because the games weren't interesting enough to push through the technical faults. I did finish Jedi Survivor because it was both technically competent and the narrative wasn't hidden in the description of some item. I do think mechanics like bonfires, recharging flasks, and runbacks to recover xp/currency are overused right now.

There's actually a really cool looking friendslop-style indie game coming out this year that might be worth covering. Funselektor, the studio behind indie racing darling Art of Rally, has been working on a co-op off-road exploration game called Over the Hill featuring a cast of retro vehicles working together to traverse a gorgeously stylized, low-poly landscape. It's already showing signs it will be a huge hit -- its Steam wishlist count eclipsed one million in April and the press coverage of their demos have been pretty favorable. The release date only says 2026, but this might be a good ingress into the friendslop universe for you guys as it's not a horror game that might put Matt off, it's not filled with silliness for silliness's sake, and it has a nostalgic driving element that Heather might enjoy. Anyway thanks for the call out! That made my day. I've told everyone I know I'm famous now.

The cholesterol discussion was so real. I started just focusing on the saturated and trans fat content in the stuff I was eating and it did make it go down enough to make my cardiologist happy. I also had less heart palpitations.

Love Heather for mentioning the 8bit nature of souls games!

As a big fan of “Tokyo Jungle”, I love the fact that they did release a physical version through the “Best of PlayStation Network” disc collection with “When Vikings Attack” and “Fat Princess”, so I will always have it on me. May “Tokyo Jungle” never die!

Incelsior!

is this where we can submit questions for the show?
