Podquisition 226: Wet Meat Mouth

Having just completed a London Underground journey, where smartphone users are tracked along their journey for profit by selling data to corporations (<a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/revealed-tfl-could-make-322-million-by-monitoring-mobile-phone-use-on-the-tube-a3646086.html)." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/revealed-tfl-could-make-322-million-by-monitoring-mobile-phone-use-on-the-tube-a3646086.html).</a> Where rebellion.earth adverts sit next to KFC home delivery adverts and pro-earth stickers adorn nearly every surface. I can’t see what you’re on about with FF7 being relevant today, must be you being political again.

The video has great meaning. This is one of the great advantages of this video. And the fact that you create, just the mind is not understandable. Hey, you three, how do you manage to intrigue our thoughts? I wish you prosperity in the future.

What I find interesting about the celeste comparison is that you can tune the game to your preferences, whereas with traditional difficulty modes, they are tuned by the developers. I think From has a vision of how their game should be played or at least want to make the players play in a certain way, it is an interesting problem to get the player in an aggressive way while still not making the game too hard. I suppose they can do it in a similar way to Bayonetta, reward variety in attacks, instead of punishing a lack of variety. It would be a very different game, so it would have to be in a different mode.

LAURA BTW GRATZ ON THE SHINY FIND!

7:04 - So when that happens Jim, would we be thanking you for you? Or would “Thank God for Jim” still apply? Inquiring minds want to know...

Absolutely brilliant episode today. You three went all over the place and it was wonderful. Some shameless plugging here but I'm going forward anyway. I make in-depth boss guides. I can relate to that sense of shame that overtakes you when you find a single mistake. And I wholeheartedly agree with the discussion about difficulty. That's my whole schtick: everyone enjoys games differently. And that's great! Let people enjoy them how they want (unless the way they want to enjoy a game is to ruin someone else's time then they can piss off). Games are more than a difficulty setting. Or at least, they should be. Otherwise, someone could just release a "game" that did nothing but played an obnoxious sound that many struggle to put up with and it would be a "good game". Not sure if that comparison really works but I think you get what I mean. Anyway, loved this episode. Capitalism is bollocks. You are all awesome doing what you can to thrive in such a system. I think you're all wonderful. Until next time. 🙂

Hat in time also uses the "Exhaustable Gachapon machine for cosmetics" as the Yoshi Game, and it works great.
