I have one podcast I listen to like this because I know them personally, and it’s like hanging out with them. I need to have a hook to listen.
I like Making It with Jimmy DiResta, David Piccutto, and Bob Clegatt (I like to make stuff on YT) because they’re makers and youtubers. They do talk about random crap sometimes, but they also talk about making stuff and youtube and being middle aged with all those things in the mix.
Every time I see these kinds of d-bags, I hear Bum Bag’s “another white boy with a podcast” in my head.

Are you cherry picking the good games out of older libraries? I find people do that a lot when remembering. It’s a survivorship bias thing. The good ones get remembered more and the bad one forgotten, so they seem like the population is better.
Nowadays? I’ve never enjoyed mobile gaming. Every time I try, there’s been an absurd paywall or monetization. Once that strikes, I’m out.
It’s not Zelda like, but if you like factory games, Satisfactory is as close to open world as a factory game gets. You land on a planet and have to build a factory to launch things into space for corporate overlords. It’s first person, lots of climbing and building. There’s a tiny bit of combat, not the focus tho.
2? That’s generous of you. I give 1 chance.
The opposite of that image is how it feels to hate games you’ve played. I’m seriously still very upset at myself for buying D4. I regret it more than I think I’ve regretted any game purchase ever, and I’m old.
This is neat, but how is it a meme?
ProZD lol, backward jisney https://youtu.be/YqnyJcvIMH0?si=eFuvJpT2UEgpr591
Gunk seeds!
ROCK AND STONE!!!
Nile blue just put out a video.
Master of Magic. I know strategy isn’t everyone’s thing and turn based isn’t either and high fantasy isn’t usually strategy staple, but it’s damn near perfect in execution. There are some minor nitpicks, but the game is definitely a 9/10*s. None of the spiritual successors have ever been so well executed. They always fall flat somewhere.
This is how I find out matpat is retiring?!
Deep rock Galactic is my vote. It doesn’t have a narrative, but it does have a very thin campaign. It’s mostly a few voice overs and random missions. However, the difficulty is scalable, if you’re looking for a challenge. The game is incredibly movement focused. Each class has a movement power that’s unique. Gunners get zip lines that are slow but go up and anyone can use them. Scout has a grappling hook that’s fast and unlimited but only they can use it. Engineer makes platforms that anyone can scale. Driller can tunnel thru the rock any direction. The terrain is deformable.
My tongue is fine, it’s the roof of my mouth that’s a freaking mess.
I really like the art style.
The bill afterwards was not fun, so I recommend being in a non USA country.
Kinda related, I had surgery a few years back and it required a 3 day hospital stay. It was a glorious, relaxing vacation. No one asked me to do anything, people took care of me, fed me, etc. Recovery pain was worth it. I still remember it fondly.
Comparing it to my regular life is depressing, lol.
Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s requiem. It’s an older game, GameCube era. I don’t like horror games and this one isn’t true horror. There are some good jump scares and body horror though. I had to stop after a certain scene because of the jump scares. The sanity system is really great.
