00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.560
Welcome member one to another episode of
the Just Agains Cast. I believe this

2
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:39.719
episode one seventy nine. I am
your host, Rob aka Zen. Joining

3
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.119
me today are my lovely friends,
some of my favorite people in the world.

4
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.799
Ryan, how are you well?
It's probably doing everyone doing okay?

5
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:52.920
Hopefully this what is it Sunday?
And everyone recording? But it is a

6
00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:00.000
Sunday. But yeah, we're getting
ready for another JSB Games Cast. Yeah,

7
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.920
yeah, yeah, I'm excited video
games. Although I'm excited, but

8
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:10.280
I'm also like very low energy at
the same time. Sure, so it's

9
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.680
like it's a weird thing going on
on the inside of me. But I

10
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:25.159
am genuinely excited. I want you
guys to understand. How are you all

11
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:32.799
right? I'm here exists within a
frame of mind, relatable within a frame

12
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:38.920
of video game mind. I think
I don't know all the weird relationships with

13
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.840
video games right now. I'm not
sure, Parson, do you want to

14
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.040
talk about it? I do?
All right, Well, floys, all

15
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:52.840
yours, let's talk about this is
This is our new segment called JSP Games

16
00:01:52.879 --> 00:02:02.280
Cast Therapy. Yep, and Drew, I was Strand Stambougle. That's fine,

17
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.840
that's fine. Uh, so yeah, you know, last month the

18
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:14.120
game came out, a little game
called Street Fund six hum. We've talked

19
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.759
about it a lot. They have
that game has its claws in me.

20
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:25.639
Bad. Yeah, dude, bad. Like I cannot stop thinking about this

21
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:31.479
game. I can't stop playing this
game. It's I have three hundred hours

22
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:37.360
within a month. That's insane.
I want people to understand that I cannot

23
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.280
get Drew to put three hundred hours
into a Trails game within a month.

24
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:49.199
That's how big a deal this is. Yeah, pretty wild? Like IM,

25
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.400
I don't understand how this is possible
to be perfectly ones. Like when

26
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.639
I look at my playtime on the
PlayStation screen, I'm like, there's no

27
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.840
way that says three ds. No
way, it's a go. Is the

28
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.159
glecting the system? I mean it's
probably more of like a month and a

29
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:15.719
half, but that that's still like
averaging what five hours? Basically pretty much

30
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.919
this game. This game is good
and more I play it like, fuck

31
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:27.280
the haters on Twitter, fuck the
pros, fuck everybody. This game is

32
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.919
so fucking good and I will die
on this hill. I don't think many

33
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:36.639
people are going to argue too hard
against I don't know. I feel like

34
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:46.439
every game. Mh, but I
I legitimately love Street Fighter six and I

35
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:52.879
cannot stop playing it. Um,
I've started messing around with other characters.

36
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.400
I'm not start with ken fordit uh
just to kind of see, you know,

37
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.879
try and see what other characters do, especially characters that I feel like,

38
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.080
man, this character just gets to
do whatever they want. Well that's

39
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.639
the case. Let me play them
and see if that's actually the case.

40
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.560
And then you know, you kind
of starting to learn, like what a

41
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:19.000
character's weaknesses are. And playing other
characters is also just kind of makes you

42
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:26.040
appreciate the options of the previous character
you were playing, because now those tools

43
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.600
are suddenly no longer available to you, and you're like, well, shit,

44
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.879
I don't have those tools anymore.
I have these tools, So how

45
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.040
do I use these tools to do
the same thing that I was doing with

46
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.000
last character with different tools? And
so like, in that aspect, it's

47
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.399
almost like playing a brand new fighting
Yes, it's true, that's why I

48
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:50.720
enjoyed playing multiple characters. However,
I kind of put that on pause for

49
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.600
the sole purpose of there was an
execution barrier that was kind of limiting me,

50
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.519
and that execution barrier was using dry
cancels off of loads, which is

51
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:11.600
far more pertinent to Ken's game plan
than DJs. So, to give a

52
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:18.480
brief context, DJ uses drive very
differently from how Ken does. DJ uses

53
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:23.240
drive about just as much, but
instead of doing like drive cancels in the

54
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:29.720
strings, which he still does do, he primarily uses it from neutral or

55
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.000
as a quote unquote link. He
doesn't use drive cancels, and that's a

56
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.480
lot easier for me as a player
to do than drive cancels. And to

57
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:44.319
explain what that is, a drive
cancel is canceling any button, any special

58
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.959
cancel button with forward forward, and
it will cancel that move and then you

59
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.279
will dash forward and you have a
certain amount of advantage. Now that doesn't

60
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.120
sound hard, but when you're in
the heat of a match and like you're

61
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.720
trying to do something and you hit
a button and you try to hit four

62
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.040
four or it can be really awkward, specifically if you're playing on stick.

63
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.040
I feel like this was something that
was more difficult on stick than it is

64
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.480
on any sort of leverless option,
whether it be hit box or pad or

65
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:15.439
whatever, to the point that like, if I wanted to check out these

66
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.319
other characters, I was like,
maybe I should switch over to hit box

67
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:24.759
because you know, if this is
an execution thing, and like, this

68
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:29.079
is not something I want to have
to waste time in the lab practicing because

69
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.879
it feels like something that comes naturally
to other players that maybe I should just

70
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:39.160
sort of cut out the middleman and
make it easier for me. However,

71
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.839
Capcom said, fuck that, We're
going to make it easier for you,

72
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.480
and they're releasing an update that just
allows you to drive cancel using a short

73
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:54.480
cut, and I love them for
it. Yeah, it's a it's a

74
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.800
good move. I know a lot
of people were asking for the short cut

75
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.360
for the drive button, so it's
cool that Copcom is like listening and making

76
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.360
those justine and like, I like
how they did in a way that doesn't

77
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:09.879
necessarily break or abuse anything, like, for example, charge characters won't be

78
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:14.199
able to abuse it because you have
to be able to or you have to

79
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:19.879
input it from like a neutral or
forward moving position, so charge characters can't

80
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.800
store a charge while doing it,
which I think is really cool. So

81
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:29.920
it truly is just like a quality
of life upgrade for players who choose to

82
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:34.480
play their fighting games on stick that
wasn't afforded to them that PAD player or

83
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.360
lead a list players had access to. And I think that's really cool.

84
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.360
I think finding a way to sort
of even that playing field is the sort

85
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.800
of quality of life upgrades I want
to continue to see. And I would

86
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.360
have said I would have found that
cool if if like the situation had been

87
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.560
the other way around, you know, like if it was something that like

88
00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:01.160
stick players had a significant advantage for
that you know, PAD and leadless players

89
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.560
didn't have, then I would be
like, Okay, well that doesn't really

90
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:09.240
affect me, but I think that's
really cool. I'd like to see that

91
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.920
Capcom is actively supporting their game.
This feels like a very different Capcom than,

92
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.560
like it only sixteen Capcom. It's
very wild. There's a key person

93
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.040
that is not in a position right
now, that's very true. I didn't

94
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.839
realize he was the problem, the
big problem. I really didn't. Well,

95
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.439
I thought street Fighter four was fine. Well yeah, and then it

96
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:37.799
comes post Street Fighter four where things
fall apart. Yeah, that's fair.

97
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:45.480
Fair. And I don't know how
directly how much direction Ono had in four,

98
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.279
you know, because I think like
four was Ono's like first project lead.

99
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.360
I'd have to go back and look
at that stuff again. Yeah,

100
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.879
I'm not I'm not too familiar if
that is or not. I felt like

101
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.720
he was at the lead to something
else before, but I don't. I

102
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.279
think that was the first into into
like the fighting game. Right, it's

103
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.679
like a fighting game for them,
but like protected them forward to be like

104
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.480
the head of everything to come after
that. Well, I know he wasn't

105
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.159
the head of Marvel, but he
wasn't a head of cross teching and that

106
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:28.720
did not go over wells and being
a good game eventually. Yeah, but

107
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.440
there were like a lot of issues
with cross Tech and right the DLC being

108
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.360
on the disc and um, but
it's funny to bring that. It's funny

109
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.159
you bring that up because Street Fighter
five did eventually become an okay game,

110
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:50.240
very much the Street Fighter cross Tech
and eventually becoming a good game. The

111
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.360
first few years of that game was
an absolute dumpster fire. Same with Street

112
00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:03.159
Fighter fives. There's a definite parallels
between the two. Mmmmmmm. Well,

113
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.080
for what it's worth, I'm happy
he's gone because Three Fighter six is an

114
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:16.840
amazing game. Yeah. I think
every I think everybody, uh as far

115
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.399
as cap gob goes, is happy
that. I Oh, no, it's

116
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.279
not. But like the more I
play a Street Fighter six and the more

117
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.480
I use its features, Like,
this game is so well designed for It's

118
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:33.879
not only just like new players like
it's it's so it caters so well to

119
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.399
new players, it caters so well
to players who really want to try and

120
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.600
improve it just it caters to every
level of fighting game player that I have

121
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.360
not seen, you know in any
other fighting game that I've played. Yeah,

122
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.840
yeah, we've It's like, I
mean, we we've mentioned that before,

123
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.600
right where it's just like this is
a complete package, Like this is

124
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.799
the this is the stand out like
next to like an MK or something where

125
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:07.120
it like penetrates through to a casual
audience in a way that like no other

126
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.919
game in this series really has,
right, And it has like a staying

127
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.639
power that like a lot of those
other games didn't really have. Um,

128
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.600
you had a really good single player
mode, you have a really good multiplayer

129
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.840
mode. You have you have a
host of multiplayer modes both silly and serious.

130
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.440
You have a really strong neck code
to go along with it. You

131
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.720
have a really good training mode.
You also have bonus Capcom games in the

132
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.080
lobby, right, you have avatar
battles. So it's like there's so much

133
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.600
in here just for everybody, you
know, It's just a complete package.

134
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.519
And like every day I feel like
I'm finding some new future, Like over

135
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.919
the weekend or before the week before
the weekend. I entered a tournament last

136
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:54.159
week t and US on Wednesday,
and I had replays for the matches that

137
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.639
I lost and a couple of my
buddies and I want to sit down and

138
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.919
wash the matches and wrongst that I
hadn't saved them. Well, what's cool

139
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.480
is that Catcom just stores all those
fucking replays on a server that you can

140
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:13.559
access in the game, and you
can just go look at, like by

141
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.879
date, all of your matches.
It's crazy, Yeah, I think.

142
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.080
Um. I also read that the
game does a really good job of like

143
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:30.440
keeping track of like the matchups that
you're struggling with, and like recommending videos

144
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.799
to you or replay data towards things
that you're losing to, which I also

145
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:39.320
find very very good. Right yea, I love stuff like that. Like

146
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.639
just I cannot rave enough about this
game. And again, like I eat,

147
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:52.440
breathe, and sweep this game,
like it's so fucking goods and it

148
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.279
just makes me want to compete more
and it makes me want to play it

149
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:01.559
more like it's a complete one eighty
of how I felt when I first played

150
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:11.120
Street Fighter five. So I think
Capcom has earned a good deal of faith

151
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.720
for me going forward. So I
look forward to what this game brings.

152
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:22.960
I mean, we have we have
the patch tomorrow on Monday, July twenty

153
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.240
fourth world, we'll have Rashid and
we'll have the new short cut, and

154
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.840
I'm all about it, all about
it. Did they say anything about fixing

155
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.799
the input buffer though? I think
the way the input buffer is designed right

156
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:46.519
now is intentional, and I hate
it. I feel like that's something they're

157
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.279
gonna end up adjusting. That's the
while. And I hate the rain on

158
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.200
the street Fighter sixth parade because I
agree with a lot of things that you

159
00:13:54.240 --> 00:14:00.120
say, like as far as what
they've done with it, But I'm sorry,

160
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.200
the input buffer in this game is
the worst it's ever been in the

161
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:09.840
street Fighter modern game, Like it's
worse the Street Fighter fives like then,

162
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:11.879
And to me like that, like
for me, that's such a big detractor

163
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.000
for me, Like if I'm if
I'm trying to do something and it stores

164
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:22.720
a level two for jury when I
just simply cross under an opponent and I

165
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.840
try to do like Crouch medium punch, but it buffers a level two on

166
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.559
me and I get destroyed for it
like that to me, Like it ruins

167
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:41.039
it for me in that it's it's
very annoying and like I agree with everything

168
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.279
else. Don't get me wrong,
I agree with everything else, but that

169
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.559
input buffer, the way they have
it is atrocious to me because there are

170
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.240
so many things that come out for
me that I don't even come close to

171
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.440
inputting, but it just stores it
and it gives that input instead of what

172
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:07.480
I'm actually trying to do. I
get the feeling that like that, that's

173
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.279
one that's also been a very constant
thing, right, um that I feel

174
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.200
like Capcom probably is taking notice of. I feel like that's something that probably

175
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.200
comes after either sure um if I
was to take a take a stab at

176
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.799
it, but I'm willing to bet
that that's something that they tweak and adjust.

177
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.799
I hope. I don't know.
I don't know, like I'll tight

178
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.759
they'll make it right, but I
imagine that going to adjust it to something

179
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.639
degree. Yeah, I mean,
I hope so, because I like,

180
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.039
I want to play the game,
and I like the game, but I

181
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.519
mean that input buffer to me is
such a detractor like for me personally,

182
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:48.639
and again that's me personally. Um, I absolutely just didn't Again this is

183
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.799
me personally. I get it,
but I cannot stand it when I input

184
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.000
something and it doesn't give it to
me, or like it gives me something

185
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:03.320
completely random that I wasn't even close
to inputting. Hm did it ruins the

186
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.519
fun for me in that regard.
That's fair. I think that's fair.

187
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:15.159
Unfortunately, it's not something I can
comment on because I ultimately haven't really had

188
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.559
that issue too much. Um Like, it just has not come up for

189
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.080
me. Maybe it's because I'm playing
a charge character. I don't know,

190
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:29.000
but I mean for the people that
affects, I hope I hope that capcom

191
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.600
addresses it. Yeah, Like I
said that, that's my biggest detractor of

192
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:40.559
the game. I agree with everything
else, but that part just like it

193
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:47.000
just it just infuriates me whenever things
like that go the way it does.

194
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:51.720
Yeah, I think that's probably the
biggest thing that I hear from people like

195
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:56.080
that. That's that's the one that
like you hear a lot of like random

196
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.000
complaints, right, and it's like
that you can sift through the ones that

197
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.679
are just like you're fucking complaint for
taken complaint. But this is the one

198
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:07.599
that, like I feel collectively seems
to be an actual larger issue I play,

199
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.920
I see could I see this come
up like a lot from many different

200
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:17.880
levels of play. But we'll see
what happens, you know. Now,

201
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.720
I hope it does get a fixed
and I hope it does get adjusted.

202
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.759
But I mean everything else so that
you know Drew mentioned went the game,

203
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.039
I definitely feel the same way about
the direction of where it is. Like

204
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:36.759
as far as like initial launches for
street Fighter six, this is the best

205
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:41.319
one they've had since street Fighter two, Like, like it's it's that that

206
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:47.160
good of a release, Like I
felt like everything else that was spot on,

207
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:51.839
but my god, that input buffer
is like, oh it's it's the

208
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.240
worst of any street Fighter game.
I think you can make the argument that

209
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.400
this is probably the first version,
the best first version of probably any fighting

210
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.000
game. Yeah, I feel I
agree, honest I could agree with that.

211
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.400
Um I struggle to think of anything
that had a better first version.

212
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.079
You know, so if this is
their base, like I feel like we

213
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:14.759
can only go up, you know, yeah, well you would think,

214
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:21.079
let's let's let's see if it actually
stays that way. We've seen We've seen

215
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:22.960
some people find ways a mess good
things up in the past, so we'll

216
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.240
see. We've seen fumbles. But
I have I have a good feeling.

217
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.720
I think good feel Yeah. But
I think with this crew that's running,

218
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.920
that's running the show right now for
scree Fighter, I think there are I

219
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.279
think I think they're on point.
I don't think they're gonna do anything that's

220
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:44.680
gonna be like yeah, yeah,
they'll be all yeah, I don't know.

221
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.720
I choose to remain positive. Just
fix the input buffer. That's that's

222
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.480
my biggest thing. Just fix the
input bupper. We stay positive in this

223
00:18:52.559 --> 00:19:03.599
house. Oh, I started playing
some theater of them again. I revisited

224
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.000
the game. Now that a good
deal of DLCI bought six months ago is

225
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:12.160
finally out. Um all said,
a good deal, a good deal of

226
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:22.519
it. In other words, right, I'll continuating I guess over half over

227
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:30.640
half, but it leads on into
November. Oh jesus, I'll pick it

228
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.880
up in November. Well, I
mean it's just like every two to three

229
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:40.440
weeks or so they release another pack
instead of just releasing it all at once.

230
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:45.640
Where right, next baby um but
um. The packs that I have

231
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:52.799
come out Corona Trigger, Corona Cross, every freaking Saga game, Uh,

232
00:19:55.119 --> 00:20:02.799
Secret, Amona Trials, Amana Near, both Mata Replicants, Original Mirror,

233
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.920
Octopath Traveler, which is the one
that I have been waiting for for so

234
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:14.799
long, and only gave me five
songs. But it's fine. The note

235
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.960
tracks that they've made for them are
sick. I'm still I'm still impressed that

236
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.759
they added another difficulty to the game, and I still don't know how that's

237
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:33.519
possible because I can't read the charts
and there's just notes on notes on notes,

238
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.599
and I'm like, I don't understand
how you can't part of it at

239
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.319
all. It's just overlapping to the
point where it's blurs. Yeah. Well,

240
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.279
like that's why I like, I'm
trying to play Jube, right,

241
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.960
like our local kay how you beat
and like on some of the harder levels,

242
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.519
it's just hard to parse like where
the notes are coming from. Yeah,

243
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.160
it comes from like a thing of
like repetition, right, So like

244
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.359
if you play this, you have
to play the song enough to the point

245
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.279
where like eventually you just end up
internalizing where it is rather than like reacting

246
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:10.319
to where the notes are you know, um, but it's place. It

247
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.319
takes a lot of plays, though
it's not an easy thing, like it

248
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:17.680
is easier said than done, like
you're gonna end up spending like fifty dollars

249
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.240
or so, just the fucking But
it has it on free play. Oh

250
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:30.680
well that's that's good. But it's
all in Japanese and finding a song is

251
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.680
difficult and you only get like fifty
seconds to find a song and it's a

252
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:42.079
very long menu. Anyway, theaterrhythm
still continues to be tight. I I

253
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:48.519
still like the upgrades that final bar
line, like really give I don't think

254
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.200
I can play that game on the
TV for issues of like input latency,

255
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:57.599
I tend to just I tend to
just play it handheld on my switch as

256
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:02.920
opposed to like trying to play it
on GV. I just I'm not about

257
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:07.519
trying to like fine tune that I
know you've probably done it, rob because

258
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:12.119
of like you're the meeting games that
you've played. Like but like it's not

259
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:18.480
that bad because like the TV itself
doesn't really have that much of an input

260
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:23.039
delay if it's really just like one
frame. Um, so like adjusting is

261
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:27.799
not difficult at all no, um, But there are definitely other TVs,

262
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:33.599
especially like if you want to leave
on things like UM HDR and all that

263
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.039
shit, where like it gets very
difficult right when you when your TV is

264
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.759
approaching like three, four or five
frames of input delay, then it's like,

265
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.519
oh, this is a hassle.
But yeah, my TV is is

266
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:49.119
very easy. It doesn't take much
at all. Okay, But so I

267
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:52.680
will continue to play theaterism. I
will continue to half fi. I mean,

268
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.720
it's theater rhythm. If you played
theater rhythm before you know what to

269
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.000
expect. I actually just found out
that there was a Kingdom Hearts Theato rhythm

270
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:06.519
yes, no, not ye,
and it's cannon to the story of course

271
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:11.440
it is. Yeah, it's a
good game. Always always cannon, hey

272
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:17.039
everything it's it's Yogoshima Mora music.
So like, at the very least,

273
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.799
I know, Kingdom Arts is an
amazing sound drag. I just cannot care

274
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:25.640
two f's about that series. I
just can't. It's a darting shame.

275
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.559
I like Final Fantasy and I like
Disney, but something about putting it together,

276
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:40.599
it's just nah, I'm sorry I
say shame. I don't know.

277
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:45.160
It's more shameful that or not pet
and torgal well, not that intergal.

278
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.519
It's like the highest sin you could
ever Yeah, I'll get over yourself.

279
00:23:49.279 --> 00:24:02.119
It is the highest sin. You
don't even want to any want um anyway.

280
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.440
The final title that I've been playing, Oh boy, alright. I

281
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:14.240
granted I'm not too far in and
I'm only about two hours, but it's

282
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:19.799
a relatively short game. I started
to check out Trigger Trigger on Nintendo Switch,

283
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:25.000
which was gatting that randomly showed up
at my house because I ordered it

284
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:27.240
and then I forgot to cancel it, so it showed up at my house

285
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.200
and I was like, Okay,
screw it, we'll check it out.

286
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:38.640
Well, it's here, Let's let's
see what I bought. Yeah, I'm

287
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:42.559
looking it up right now because I
have not heard of this game. The

288
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:47.519
art like, the reason I ordered
is because the artwork Gordeous, Like I

289
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:52.519
really I really like the artwork.
And you know, sometimes I typically luck

290
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.880
out when I order something based on
good artwork tends to be in good game.

291
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.799
It's what happened with Rudin Factory,
for I do not regret that b

292
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.480
I bought Ruin Factory for strictly on
man this box art is sick. That

293
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:10.839
artwork is gorgeous. Yeah, I've
never played a Ruin Factory game before in

294
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:15.039
my life. I don't care for
Harvest Moon, but fucking that artwork is

295
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:19.440
gorgeous and I love that game.
Yeah. So I was like, you

296
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:30.880
know what, maybe'll maybe you'll have
a game now nom So. So the

297
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:36.039
game is, uh, it's very
fast paced. It feels like I'm playing

298
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:44.400
a super nintended the game in twenty
twenty three. Uh, it's very heavily

299
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:51.640
inspired my Secret and Mana. So
the point where it has like ring menus,

300
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.720
the sort of like items system is
kind of still there, like Secret

301
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:02.039
of Mana's item system where like the
calm bats really shallow, but you can

302
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:06.640
switch between like eight different items,
like I can tell that is the direction

303
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:11.839
where it's going, or like the
combat wants to pretend it's not shallow,

304
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:18.400
like there's a dodge role like so
basically like the combat is like you have

305
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.720
like this three hit strike right,
which by the way, there's no hit

306
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:29.400
feel like there's just no hit stop. Like hitting things just doesn't feel like

307
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.960
anything. It feels terrible. It
almost feels like I'm playing a mobile game,

308
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:40.160
right and I'm just like this is
not this does not feel good,

309
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.920
and I'm just like, how did
James tell me this was tight? And

310
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.400
so like I'm continuing playing a long
content, I'm like, you know,

311
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:52.480
this game is moving pretty fast,
because like it runs you through like the

312
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:57.119
first dungeon pretty be fast. So
it starts introducing you to like the main

313
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.079
mechanics, and it pretty much gives
you every everything in the beginning of the

314
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:04.480
game outside of like weapons that you
clearly unlock, but like as far as

315
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:10.799
combat goes, you have like your
basic attack, and then like after you

316
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:14.480
go through the first dungeon, you
unlock the main mechanic, which is like

317
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.559
the trigger mechanic, right, and
so the trigger mechanic is sort of like

318
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:23.759
a reimagining of the Spirits from Secret
of Mana, where like you had the

319
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:29.039
eight Spirits and they were all like
different elements and they can like provide elemental

320
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:36.240
attacks to your weapons and all of
that, right, And so I have

321
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:45.720
like the fire trigger and the water
trigger, and they give you like in

322
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.799
your three hit string. You can
customize the moves all right, Like you

323
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.240
can go into the menu and you're
like you'd say, Okay, the first

324
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.960
attack is gonna be this, second
attack is going to be this, and

325
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:00.440
the third attack is gonna be this. However, those moves a lock to

326
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:02.559
like, well, these moves can
only be used in the first attack.

327
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:08.319
These moves can only be and I'm
just like none of this like really changes

328
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:15.000
anything. Like they have power values
in terms of what you're doing, but

329
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:22.799
there's really no reason to not use
the thing with the highest power, is

330
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.079
it? Not like difference in like
attack startup and stuff like that, So

331
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.480
like one path would feel or not
that I could tel Like that's what I

332
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.079
was, That's what I was going
to like try. And like the second

333
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:38.519
weapon you unlock is the bow,
and like the bow I can already tell

334
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:42.640
is broken because like you're fighting it
from a distance, um, but also

335
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:47.559
has these moves like one is a
jump forward, one is to jump back,

336
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:55.000
and like clearly there's like all this
movement inspired around like the bow attacks,

337
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:57.640
but the thing is and like you
would think that movement would be useful

338
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:02.240
for like, Okay, I can
attack and like dodge enemy attacks and whatnot,

339
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:10.720
right, but the enemy AI is
dumber than a bag of malants at

340
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:15.720
the bottom of a frozen lake.
Damn, that's pretty stupid. I'm saying

341
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:26.079
right now. Granted I'm in the
first two hours, but like the enemy

342
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:34.000
is kind of just stand there and
like they may attack once, maybe you

343
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:40.920
don't kill them. Actually, this
kind of sounds like my game. I

344
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.480
mean, I'm kind of planning to
see how much of a hot messes go.

345
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.599
I haven't even gotten to like the
characters in the story yet, we

346
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:52.359
haven't even gotten There's also one aspect
of the combat that I'm not like really

347
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.559
a big fan of, and that's
there's a stamina meter. I feel like

348
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.200
this was reminiscent. I feel like
this is reminiscent of Secret tomorrowl there was

349
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.640
something in secreta mono like this where
like so every time you swing your sword,

350
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.279
it takes like a little bit out
of the stamina meter, and if

351
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:11.799
you attack when the stamina meter is
zero, your attacks do no damage.

352
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:18.319
So like you're expected to like mash
your way through these enemies, but you

353
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.359
have to stop at a point to
let your gauge fillback up and then start

354
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.000
swinging again, and like that just
kind of interrupts the fund that you're having

355
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:33.880
because it's not like you have to
be strategic versus these enemies, because they

356
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:38.400
they're just they're just you're you're shredding
through them like paper. And like the

357
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:44.359
fungier ones, they're not hard.
They just take more hits, and they

358
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:47.839
might take more hits than your gauge
allow. So you're like you have to

359
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:51.000
stop swinging, wait for the gage
to fill back up, and then start

360
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:57.119
swinging again. I say, I'm
not saying that. Yeah, yeah that

361
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:03.519
that does not feel very good.
And then you have a supermove, which

362
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.799
they haven't really indicated like what powers
it up. But when your weapon is

363
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.400
glowing, you can unleash the supermove
and then it does a super move which

364
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:17.400
does a ton of damage. And
the animate like all the animations WOK like

365
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.000
really low budget and cheap. I
feel like I'm playing like a very low

366
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:26.279
budget DS shovelware game. I mean
that's kind of them. But the appearance

367
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.759
would have you seen, like right, Like that's the vibe I get whenever

368
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.960
it's a trailer for it, like
I expected this. It's probably like a

369
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:38.680
low budget um probably a very it
is a fool game. It is a

370
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:41.720
food review game, so take that
for what you will. I know they

371
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.039
did Alliance Alive, and I think
Alliance Alive has like a pretty big could

372
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:51.519
following, but it's like it was
either Alliance Alive or like the other one

373
00:31:51.599 --> 00:32:00.079
that was like a Saga Spiritual Successor. And then like a well, um

374
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:07.559
oh did they they did that game? Just like they're just making knockoffs of

375
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:13.079
every popular JRPG. They're all over
the place, because like Kalidia Effect is

376
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:17.119
just knock off persona, right,
I mean I don't have not played it,

377
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:21.079
so like I can't really get into
details about it, but I mean

378
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:23.000
there is a persona vibe to it. I don't know how much i'd say

379
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.680
have to knock off, but there's
a vibe there. Well, I can

380
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:30.119
tell you this is knockoff Secret Amana, and Secret Amana is already a knockoff.

381
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:37.839
I haven't replayed that for this podcast
recently. Um Like, and then

382
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:44.640
the characters are like very so the
pace of the story is moving like so

383
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:49.240
fast, right, Like it's very
it's very generic. Like you you have

384
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:53.039
a hero who wakes up. He's
an orphan, his his real parents died.

385
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:59.000
A surrogate family like adopts him.
He's got like the adoptive sister like

386
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:04.519
but potential love interest like they He's
got a mysterious symbol in his eye.

387
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:09.279
It glows sometime, and this dude
is like the most like laid back about

388
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:13.680
it. He's like, don't worry, it'll stop. It doesn't even hurt.

389
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:17.640
Worry about it. His dude,
his eye is like glowing red and

390
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.359
there's a symbol in it, and
dudes just like, no big deal,

391
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:25.440
no big they don't hurt, so
why bother. It's fine, don't worry

392
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:31.200
about it. I'm just like,
what is going on? Like are these

393
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:37.440
characters real? Like there's conversation between
like Kim and his adoptive sister and like

394
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:42.000
his adoptive sisters, Like it's it's
the classic anime trope, Like his adoptive

395
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.480
sisters like cooking dinner for them because
it's just them. They're orphans, Like

396
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:51.400
we're big on anime tropes here,
Like they're orphans. She makes dinner and

397
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:52.839
she's just like, well, I
need to get ready for when I get

398
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:57.279
married, and like brother mode kicks
in. He's like, what are you

399
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.680
talking about? You're not even seeing
anybody. And then she's like, well,

400
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.160
you know what if I don't see
anybody, maybe I can just settle

401
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:07.119
for you. It's not like oh, and like they just throw it all

402
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:08.760
out on the table like they're not
even fucking trying, And I'm like,

403
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:15.039
bro, what is going on a
real conversation? Listen, she has her

404
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:19.760
eyes in the prize, all right, she knows what she wants. Priorities,

405
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:28.920
Like priorities. Every conversation is like
that. Like just anytime there's a

406
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.079
story, conversation like this just keeps
happening. So like you get the second

407
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:35.960
party member, we're just character name
the leaves, and she just shows up

408
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:38.639
at your house after you finish the
first dungeon, and like she walks in

409
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:42.800
and she's just like, hey,
I want to hire you for the job

410
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:46.920
or for a job. And then
your adopted sister's like, okay, well

411
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:51.800
i'm gonna leave you two alone and
I'm gonna go shopping for no reason other

412
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:54.840
than just to like remove her from
the scenario. Because the second your sister

413
00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:00.039
leads, she's just like, hey, uh, siance, and somebody's trying

414
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.039
to kill you and I'm here to
stop them. And I'm just like,

415
00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:07.519
what is fucking happening. Weren't you
just about to hire me for a job.

416
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:15.199
Couldn't you've just opened with hey,
someone's trying to kill you, and

417
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:20.559
then like some bullshit happens of like
they're trying to kill you because you're you're

418
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:27.039
the chosen warrior of Chaos and there's
the chosen Warrior of order. Like there's

419
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:30.440
there's two gods, there's Order and
chaos, and like there's a secret war

420
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:36.039
and now they're taking for Stranger of
Paradise, you do chaos there. So

421
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:39.880
I'm saying, so, now,
yeah, right, the two gods were

422
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:44.440
at war, but now instead of
the gods fighting each other, they have

423
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.679
proxy fight for them, which is
the Warrior of Order and the Warrior of

424
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:51.239
Chaos. And so Release is coming
to try and stop the Warrior of Order

425
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:53.079
and the Warrior of Chaos and fighting
each other because that'll stop the war.

426
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:59.360
Because there are people who want to
kill the Warrior of Chaos to prolong the

427
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:02.280
war, to like stop the duel
between the Warrior of Order and the Warrior

428
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:06.480
of Chaos from happening. And I'm
sitting here thinking, I'm like, isn't

429
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:09.280
this the same thing, Like if
you stop the warrior of Order and Warrior

430
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:14.519
of Chaos from fighting each other,
isn't that prolonging the war? Just like

431
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:17.480
killing the warrior of Chaos is like, I don't understand what your goal here

432
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:30.960
is, lady. This sounds pretty
amazing. It's it's a fucking hot mess,

433
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:39.599
bro, It's so it's so wild
and like like the character deliveries are

434
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:45.480
just like what is what is happening? You're not real people, You're not

435
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:51.920
real people like Cian the protagonists,
like, hey, look I'll go with

436
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:54.000
you for now, but if you're
lying to me and somebody actually isn't trying

437
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:58.320
to kill me, I'm out of
here. And I'm like, huh,

438
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:02.280
you'd be happy. You wouldn't be
happy if someone wasn't trying to kill you,

439
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:12.480
Like, I don't understand what are
you getting? Huh? Are you

440
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.519
going to see this game to the
end? I don't know. My time

441
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:22.119
is limited and like I really want
to play and then said I'm playing this

442
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:28.920
so like I don't want to play
though, because we're gonna start trails when

443
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:36.199
I get back from you know,
I don't know what's going on. I've

444
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:39.320
lost control. I like this game
is awful, is very bad. This

445
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:44.840
is where he is now, This
is awful game territory. So like my

446
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:49.599
relationship with games is like, so
I can't play normal games because every time

447
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.360
I'm playing normal games. I'm like, I couldn't be playing street Fighter.

448
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:55.639
But then instead of playing street Fighter
or normal games, ocide to boot up

449
00:37:55.679 --> 00:38:00.920
this fucking hot track and then like, I'm very serious as to where this

450
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:06.360
goes? Why am I compelled to
play the bad game? That happens?

451
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:09.559
Man? Sometimes, like you,
you either see a game or you started

452
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.800
for a little bit and you're just
like, this can't be this bad.

453
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.679
Uh, And then you start it
and you're like, it's pretty bad,

454
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:22.360
but can I get worse? And
now it's you're just playing it just to

455
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.800
see how worse it can get.
Because you have to know. You gotta

456
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:30.960
know that the bad game rabbit hole. Yeah, yeah, in somebody telling

457
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:34.400
you that it's bad, it is
not enough, right, You have to

458
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:37.320
experience it. You have to you
have to know. Right, I've been

459
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:43.079
there, I understand. This is
why I haven't played about here Chronicles for

460
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:46.519
man, you had like you usually
play that game. This is not why.

461
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:57.519
It's true, that's true. I
don't know what to make it.

462
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:01.960
This game that's fun, honestly,
sounds like sounds like a goofy fun time.

463
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:07.519
At the end of the day,
sounds like a pretty goofy fun bad

464
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:17.960
game. Have you played dolls on
it? You can play what I have

465
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.719
not, So what if I save
it for the next time. I'll come

466
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:27.159
to Jack's and we just get drunk
and play through it together. I'll do

467
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:30.840
it. Sounds like a fun time, all right, That's what I'll do,

468
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:38.280
and then we can give the full
JSB drunk review. Yeah, which

469
00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:42.480
means I can return to the other
game I was playing. I'm just kind

470
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.239
of tight. I had one more
and you weren't expecting it. Oh my

471
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:52.000
god, drew playing Street Fight or
six? What are you taking me for?

472
00:39:53.840 --> 00:40:00.920
Somebody? You know? I was
being serious? What have you play?

473
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:06.760
What else have you been play?
It is Capcom Adjason? Have you

474
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:12.119
been playing Extra Primal? No,
that's that's not Capcom and Jason, that's

475
00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:19.760
Capcom. Wells, I mean that's
somewhat beg to differ. Yeah, Oh,

476
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:23.480
have you been playing Extra Problems?
Sounds like a very entertaining story.

477
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:31.480
I haven't downloaded. Yes, Uh
no, so I checked out Gravity Circuit

478
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:39.519
recently. Oh yeah, Ravit CERC
just actually recently came out, and that

479
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:44.760
game is just MegaMan zero. Went
straight out. It's just MegaMan zero.

480
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:51.440
That's right down your alley, like
Okay, it's it's like Mega man X

481
00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:54.239
meets Mega Man zero, which is
a weird phrase to say because like Mega

482
00:40:54.280 --> 00:41:00.079
Man zero, it's just an evolution
of Mega man X, but like there

483
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:05.639
are aspects of both in there,
Like it's very clearly directly inspired on any

484
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:12.000
answer. Um, looks like it. Yeah he even has robot. Yeah.

485
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:16.280
Uh it looks like a very well
polished like game Boy color game.

486
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:21.440
Uh, Like that's the aesthetic that
was going forward all about it. Like

487
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:25.639
I think it looks great. Yeah. Um, I haven't played much of

488
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:29.440
it, Like I've only played through
like the intro level and like the first

489
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:32.280
level because I decided to play the
game on hard. That might have been

490
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:36.320
a mistake. I made them it
down to normal just to like learn how

491
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:42.000
to play the game because the game
itself is fucking brutal. I could not

492
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:45.280
beat the first boss. Okay,
that's not true. I beat the first

493
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:47.679
boss, and the first boss was
a piece of cake, and I was

494
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:51.679
like, it's really hard mode.
And then I played through my first level

495
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:53.639
and that was hard. And then
I got to the boss and then I

496
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:59.079
couldn't beat the boss and I was
like, huh interesting, Oh so you

497
00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:00.960
equipal I think we'll end up beating
the tutorial and be like, oh,

498
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.159
this game ain't shit, and then
it's like, all right, well his

499
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:09.960
actual game now, damn game's got
mans game and in fact have hands.

500
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:15.440
I think part of it is,
like, so movement in that game feels

501
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:19.639
really cool. It takes a lot
of mechanics from Mega Man zero that I

502
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:27.880
feel weren't fully explored, specifically from
zero two where you had the chain rod

503
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:34.559
which kind of operated like a hook
shot to a degree. This game kind

504
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:37.199
of takes that mechanic and fully flushes
it out, and I think that's really

505
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:42.840
cool. Like you're able to use
it to like swing from platforms and like

506
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:45.639
keep your momentum going. Like it's
very clearly this game was designed to be

507
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:51.400
like speed run by people at a
certain point, Like I definitely expect to

508
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.960
see this game on Summer games done
quick that it's going to be a really

509
00:42:55.960 --> 00:43:00.320
fun run. I'm sure. Yeah. Well, like movement in the game

510
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:04.800
feels really cool because like you have
like instead of a MegaMan style dash,

511
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:10.360
your your character gravity circuit or kai
uh he just runs right and like you

512
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:15.119
can hold down the button to run
and the access like your MegaMan zero dash

513
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:21.400
and so like you can run and
then like swing and like do all these

514
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:27.519
things and it just moving around feels
really good, right, right, you

515
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.760
have a slide. Uh. The
only thing that I was having an issue

516
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:35.840
with is the game expects you to
fight in close quarters. Instead of buster

517
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:43.599
shots, you have punches. Get
a close personal. Now you're damage.

518
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:47.960
Your hook shot can do damage,
but a lot, it's not a lot.

519
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.440
And also the problem with that is
it doesn't build up what the game's

520
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:57.639
main mechanic is, which is the
birst gage. And the birst gage is

521
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:02.320
like special that you can do when
you're a birth gage is full, kind

522
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:07.159
of like the Nova strikes and Mega
man X, where like if your meter

523
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:12.199
was full, you can unreach this
powerful attack, and like you can unlock

524
00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:15.800
all these different like burst moves like
ones a supplex and others ashore you can

525
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:22.159
the others like a rider kick,
Like there are several burst moves that you

526
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:27.320
can unlock, and like it's definitely
clear that like there's a lot of depth

527
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:30.920
here with this combat because like you
can do like juggle combos and like when

528
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:34.639
you beat an enemy, like they'll
explode, but you can like pick them

529
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:37.360
up before they explode and like you
can throw them at other enemies, so

530
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:40.719
like you can keep a string of
like a tax doing by like throwing enemies.

531
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:45.480
That b One of the coolest things
is like I'm going through a level

532
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:47.760
and like an enemy throws a grenade
at me, and I hook shop the

533
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:51.960
grenade, catch it, and throw
it back at the enemy, And I'm

534
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:58.440
like, this game's fucking tight.
That's very cool. Like I'm watching the

535
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:01.920
trailer. It looks crazy tight.
I gotta lie. It's really really cool.

536
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:06.000
I definitely recommend it. It's like
twenty bucks. It's on everything.

537
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:09.840
It's on Steam, it's on Switch, it's on PlayStation. Um, it's

538
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:15.599
really really cool. I have enjoyed
what I played so far. I may

539
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:19.239
just double dip and get it on
Switch so I can play it while I'm

540
00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:23.760
traveling. Uh if I don't just
have it on on BF five for some

541
00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:29.280
reason, because I was like,
I've lost faith in my Uh I lost

542
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:32.239
faith in the Switch's ability to like
run games competently. Yeah, Um,

543
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:37.320
so I just I should have just
bought it on steam Deck. But I

544
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:45.760
forget. I forget I own a
steam Deck. Um, it's a game

545
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:49.639
here, bro, It's not amfortable. It's a handheld, it's not amfortable.

546
00:45:52.039 --> 00:46:00.559
I'll say the same thing about the
switch. I mean just looking at

547
00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:05.880
it as it's a device that plays
video games. That's you know, I'm

548
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:09.440
very simple. It's like, okay, I can play the video game and

549
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:15.320
in bed. Well. See,
like my thing is is like when it

550
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:20.719
comes to portable game or portable consoles, like if I go on a bus

551
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:23.119
ride, I can like whip it
out and play for like fifteen minutes and

552
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.679
then you like put it away.
And that's something like the three d S

553
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.639
or the PSP or the Vito was
like really good for it because like if

554
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:35.559
it in your pocket, you didn't
really need to have like a very special

555
00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:39.519
case for it. Like the Vita
and the PSP had slip covers, and

556
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:43.880
the three DS the screens were protected
because of the clamshell design. Right,

557
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:50.199
Um, that really doesn't work for
like the switch and the and the Steam

558
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:54.840
Deck unfortunately. So like this is
this is very clearly anything and I understand

559
00:46:54.920 --> 00:47:00.039
that, but like it's really hard
for me to play You used those consoles

560
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:06.199
to play games portably the same way
I did PSP or three Yes, it's

561
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:08.079
very it's very weird to describe it
like that. And not get it.

562
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:13.920
It's definitely a mean thing, but
like that's just how it is. I

563
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:20.559
guess, I don't know, maybe
that way they do. But riley S

564
00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:23.639
are good at tight and I definitely
recommend it. Hell yeah, all right,

565
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:32.519
I'll go it to look see when
I can't. Um, I think

566
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:38.000
that's it, okay, all right, all right, it's a good state

567
00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:42.599
of games. I like that.
I like that I actually brought content.

568
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:47.320
I brought contents. Fuck yeah,
hell yeah I did. I will give

569
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:54.719
you an A for your for your
segments. Uh, Ryan, Rob,

570
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:00.199
what have you been up to in
your neck of the woods? Um?

571
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:06.480
Not really a whole lot. Um, I've really been on the Nike Grind

572
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:12.599
a lot. I'm still on Nike. Oh boy. Yeah, in deep.

573
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:16.679
I am very much in deep and
uh to the point where I have

574
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:21.840
not booted up a mental moria in
like a week. Oh it's that bad.

575
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:30.920
The last remaining members gone. It
breaks my heart too, because I

576
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:36.280
do I do me much more.
But same. Yeah, I'm I'm very

577
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:40.360
much like just right now, just
all in on Nike as far as like

578
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:45.639
the gotcha games are concerned and everything, And it literally got me essentially,

579
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:50.079
uh, the new character they released, which is a which is a U

580
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:58.840
character that's a banner. It's a
pirate girl named Mast. Uh yep ka

581
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:00.960
look her upright. Yeah. I
was actually gonna post a photo over in

582
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:06.880
the in the uh I got her. Yeah, but it's funny because she

583
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:12.239
definitely reminds me of a marine marine. Yeah. Yeah, this is big

584
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:15.400
marine energy. Like you could just
tell me this is a marine skin.

585
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:19.039
Yes, And I think there was
even like a fan art piece of the

586
00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:23.679
outfit swap of marine and mast.
It's just like the difference. Yeah,

587
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:29.960
you really can't. Yeah that is
blatantly marine. Yeah. So, but

588
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:32.920
she's she seemed cool. I played
through the uh the event story with her,

589
00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:38.199
and uh, she's Yes, she's
very much a goof and it's very

590
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:43.039
very good. Um. So,
like I've been trying to pull for her,

591
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:45.960
I haven't gotten her yet. I've
got any other banner characters, um,

592
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.199
but like, um, I haven't
been able to get this one yet.

593
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:53.760
They're actually pretty like lenient on your
like wish list, like when you

594
00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:59.599
wish for certain characters and stuff like
that, because apparently with the way things

595
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:02.920
level and everything, and once you
start limit breaking them, it takes like

596
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:10.280
a lot of resources to limit break
them, so like they're very very generous

597
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:15.320
on when you pull duplicates and stuff
like that, just so just so you

598
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:19.800
can still be able to do everything
you need to do, for like the

599
00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:22.920
limit breakers are in this game,
the core breaks and stuff like that to

600
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:28.719
be able to keep enhancing the characters
and stuff. So I haven't I've hit

601
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:31.119
a little bit of a barrier,
but it's not too bad because like the

602
00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:35.159
resources, like I said, they
just come to you very very quickly,

603
00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:40.679
so like you're not like stuck forever
in a certain spot and everything. If

604
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:46.559
anything, it's like maybe a few
days that you're stuck at like a certain

605
00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:51.239
spot before you can level level things
up. Where sometimes like as much as

606
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:52.599
I love about Mental Morning, I
kind of felt that way, like I'd

607
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:57.920
be stuck in a spot for like
weeks before I can advance past it.

608
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:00.320
Weeks, weeks and months that at
that. That's how idol games work.

609
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:04.079
Yeah, you gotta get to the
wall and then you gotta break it,

610
00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:09.400
and and your only uh like reward
for breaking the wall it's a new wall,

611
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:15.239
Yeah, a bigger and thicker wall. So um so like I haven't

612
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:20.480
quite hit that yet, especially with
how like I've been kind of like playing

613
00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:22.840
the game and stuff like that.
Um and like even like their reward and

614
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:27.239
stuff there, anything's pretty generous as
well, So like, you know,

615
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:30.199
I'm that's kind of I think that's
part of the reason why this has grabbed

616
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:32.239
me a little bit more. And
also the fact that's on PC, Like

617
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:36.840
like like the game sitting right there
on my PC, I could just go

618
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:38.360
ahead and just play it while I'm
waiting for something or something like that,

619
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:43.840
you know. So yeah, um
so I've been very much in on that.

620
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:49.800
Uh. Dj Max dropped a new
DLC pack with some new tracks.

621
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:53.639
They did, they absolutely did.
They keep adding on to that twenty year

622
00:51:53.679 --> 00:52:00.840
old rhythm game. They can they
keep adding on to it. Um As

623
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:05.519
a it's a pretty cool pack though, Like it had some pretty pretty cool

624
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:09.039
songs. There's one song um called
Addiction where like the music video, it

625
00:52:09.079 --> 00:52:13.679
looks like the like the character that's
in the background of it looks like a

626
00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:15.599
could literally pass as a character,
but it's like a dog on rop up

627
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:22.880
character because it's like that exact same
design or yeah. So like um so

628
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.800
it's um you know, so I
got back into that and it's been a

629
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:28.639
while since I've by DJMax like as
far as rhythm games going or anything,

630
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:30.960
but I saw that there was a
new pack and I'm like, oh,

631
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:36.000
okay, that's resolutely design. Oh
yeah, you just pulled up it's all.

632
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:42.480
Yeah. So so I've been playing
that and then one other game.

633
00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:46.679
I'm trying to go back to some
games that I haven't finished yet that I'm

634
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:54.039
trying to get back into to like
try to you know, complete a little

635
00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:59.480
bit more. Um. And the
game I kind of revisited today that I

636
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:05.559
haven't played forever was Ender Lilies.
Okay, Um, that's a game I

637
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:08.000
would like to go back and finish
that that That game is gorgeous. It

638
00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:10.559
is you know, we're talking about
the artwork and stuff like that earlier and

639
00:53:10.599 --> 00:53:15.199
everything, and that game is just
absolutely it's it's beautiful. I like the

640
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:20.159
soundtrack as well, with like you
know, like the soft melodies and everything

641
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:25.320
and everything like that game to me
is definitely a definition of pure art,

642
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:30.159
like with the way it is um
and like, yes, it has a

643
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:35.280
lot of your you know, has
the Metroid Vania stuff that you expect and

644
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:37.719
everything. Like I just got a
new ability where I'm able to air dash

645
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:43.079
now um around the map and stuff. So like I'm trying to go back

646
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:45.960
to certain spots and trying to revisit
areas that now I have the air dash

647
00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:50.639
that I could try to like go
to other spots I wasn't able to before,

648
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:55.039
like dancing more into into the into
the the actual main story. Um

649
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:02.559
End of Lilies. Oh yeah,
I had the Menia checked that game out.

650
00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:07.360
Yeah, I'm surprising you haven't yet. Yeah, it's pretty true core.

651
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:09.960
Yeah, I have so many games, but no, you decided to

652
00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:14.440
just dump your ass into freaking Trinity
Trigger or whatever the hell is. I

653
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:17.639
know, right, had emission because
I'm bad games Like fuck the Beautiful Game.

654
00:54:17.679 --> 00:54:22.360
I I gotta go down the frabbit
hole. I spent forty dollars on

655
00:54:22.519 --> 00:54:29.119
it. Could have spent twenty five
on it. I spent twenty. I

656
00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:31.039
think it's on what it was on
cell. But like, oh yeah,

657
00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:36.880
the team Seller's hoever. Yeah,
but um, so, like, yeah,

658
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:38.639
there's certain games I'm trying to go
back and like trying to finish and

659
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:44.519
like that was a cool game to
kind of like revisit and uh and um

660
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:47.280
you know kind of like play around
with and everything and trying to remember everything

661
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:50.760
that was part of it, and
it's just like, you know, this

662
00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:53.760
game's cool. I kind of want
to play this more again because of the

663
00:54:53.840 --> 00:55:00.719
fact that like it's it's very much
enjoyable experience, and like the boss fights

664
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:04.559
are are kind of fun. Like
the boss fights are really fun too,

665
00:55:04.679 --> 00:55:07.719
like they have all the multiple phases
and stuff. Um, but it's just

666
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:12.079
like, yeah, this is something
charming about those fights. And then you

667
00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:15.400
like they of course, you know, you get to see their backstories and

668
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:19.559
everything and see like how tragic everything
in it is and like that's how they

669
00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:21.960
ended up the way they did and
stuff, and it's just like, uh

670
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:28.880
yeah, like the latest one I
just did, um where where I was

671
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:31.679
able to get the air dash afterwards
if I got everything, like man,

672
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:37.480
her her story was pretty tragic.
Um. But not gonna spoil it in

673
00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:40.800
case you know people haven't played it, but yes, there's a lot of

674
00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:46.519
tragedy and you know your main character
being like the final last like priestess to

675
00:55:46.599 --> 00:55:52.119
try to purify everything and like learning
more about her and stuff like that,

676
00:55:52.239 --> 00:56:00.280
it's just like, dang, this
everything's cursed. Everything's it's literally what that

677
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:06.760
is. So like as you traveling
through this world that has like the rate

678
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:12.639
of death going on around you.
But but it's so but it's so artistically

679
00:56:12.679 --> 00:56:15.519
well done though. It's beautiful,
right, Yeah, it's it's a tragedy.

680
00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:20.239
It's it's a beautiful tragedy. It's
a beautiful tragedy. Yep, exactly

681
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:23.119
what it is. Uh man,
that might be the podcast title. Um

682
00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:29.199
beautiful tragedy. Yeah, um.
But yeah, I definitely, like,

683
00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:32.079
I definitely really enjoy playing this game, and like I said, I'm probably

684
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:35.719
gonna go back and play it more
because of the fact, like I do

685
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:38.400
want to try to finish it.
And now, like it's always weird because

686
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:43.440
like I'll play a Metroid Venia for
a little bit and then I'll get stuck.

687
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:45.039
I'll beat my head against a wall
and be like I don't know what

688
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:49.400
to do. I don't know where
to go. I'm gonna take a break

689
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:51.800
from this game, and then I'll
come back to the game like three months

690
00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:54.280
later, and then like I'll see
something new and be like why did I

691
00:56:54.440 --> 00:57:00.920
not see this before? And then
and then progress through more stuff and everything.

692
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:05.320
I don't know if that's just the
nature of the way some of these

693
00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:09.360
Metroid Venias are or it's just me
being an idiot. You know, so

694
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:14.519
I'm calling me, calling me.
You know what I'm saying, why not

695
00:57:14.599 --> 00:57:16.679
both? Yeah, it could rigged
in my case, it could very well

696
00:57:16.760 --> 00:57:21.559
be both. Um. So yeah, like I said, just kind of

697
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:25.039
like going back and trying to revisit, uh some games and anything. Um,

698
00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:29.199
there was a game I was going
to start playing, but I don't

699
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:32.000
know if I'm allowed to start playing
it yet because I you, guys,

700
00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:37.920
I could your chronicles for oh I
had. I had a little bit of

701
00:57:38.039 --> 00:57:42.679
an inkling to start that game up
today. But I'm like, hmmm,

702
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:45.079
Rob and Drew, we're just talking
about this. Wow, this would be

703
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:51.760
a funny joke. Um, maybe
I should wait a minute there. That

704
00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:53.880
game. Every day I'm gonna pull
the trigger like soon, like it is

705
00:57:54.000 --> 00:58:00.599
imminent. It keeps going up on
my personal like to play a list and

706
00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:01.840
yeah, every day I'm staying,
I like, do I start it now?

707
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:06.480
Well, It's like it's just like
I enjoy got I got the title

708
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:07.599
screen one day, I was like, oh, I'm almost there, and

709
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:10.519
then I tuck it off the steam
deck and I like another day. But

710
00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:15.840
it's so weird because like I enjoyed
Vactia Chronicles so much, like I realized.

711
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:20.960
Yeah that game, shout said Lysia. She's still best girl. Um,

712
00:58:21.719 --> 00:58:25.920
but like, man, like,
I'm like, I want to play

713
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:30.000
it, but I don't know yet. Like I feel like I feel like

714
00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:32.559
I have to dedicate a day to
be like, all right, I'm gonna

715
00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:37.400
give you the attention that you deserve. Yeah yeah, like you just want

716
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:40.920
to give it a good block of
time. Yeah, yeah exactly. So

717
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:45.159
maybe that's what it is. So
that's kind of where I'm at with it.

718
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:50.199
I'm I'll be honest, I'll probably
start it soon and you guys are

719
00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:58.360
gonna hate me for it. But
no, let's listen. Maybe started,

720
00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:00.079
Yeah, someone has to start,
and then I'm gonna be like, well

721
00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:04.000
fuck now I have to play it, all right, gotcha? So whoever

722
00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:07.639
pulls the trigger first, it's just
gonna snowball for everybody else you can play.

723
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:12.599
Just don't spoil it for me or
I will kill you. You will

724
00:59:12.679 --> 00:59:16.719
kill us. I don't. I
don't want to be murdered, so you

725
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:22.199
know, I might want to.
I like my life. Here's up.

726
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:30.119
Some doubts true, you're not wrong, but anyway, yeah, boy,

727
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:35.880
that took an end of Lily's turn. Um beautiful tragedy, beautiful tragedy.

728
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:42.000
Outside of games. That's pretty much
it stopping kind of you know, on

729
00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:47.599
the art grind and everything. I
did, uh finish a commission um,

730
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:55.480
and then did a fan art of
Sailor Mars finally Yeah, that you can

731
00:59:55.800 --> 01:00:00.840
check out. Um. I had
pretty I had a pretty fun little take

732
01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:06.239
on the censored version of the Mars
one, like, yeah, she was

733
01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:08.320
in a hot spring, so let's
put some steam around everything. There you

734
01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:13.360
go. Yeah, that was I
thought that was pretty creative on my part.

735
01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:20.320
Pat myself on a back. Um. But there's two other commissions I'm

736
01:00:20.320 --> 01:00:24.000
gonna be starting up this week,
and I kind of, I guess,

737
01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:29.719
kind of a little bit of an
announcement. There is a event that's going

738
01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:37.199
to be happening down in Gainesville on
September thirtieth called Kirby Khan. It's put

739
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:40.400
on by a group called the Black
Market, which is based in South Florida,

740
01:00:42.119 --> 01:00:46.360
but they're going to Gainesville and then
Atlanta for this thing. Gainesville is

741
01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:51.519
gonna be the first stop, and
I got approved to set up a artist

742
01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:57.320
table down there, so I will
be back selling arts and prints and this

743
01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:01.320
time, since it isn't eighteen and
no event. That means I can sell

744
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:10.760
the ludes, so the big ludes. So there may be some ludes available

745
01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:21.639
for purchase via sticker and print,
So purchase your ludes so I will have

746
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:24.280
more information obviously on that when I
draws closer than everything. But yeah,

747
01:01:24.320 --> 01:01:30.239
I got the email this morning from
them basically saying, hey, good stuff,

748
01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:34.239
You're approved. Oh yeah, so
good ship. There we go.

749
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:37.039
I just gotta plan everything together.
I hope I can get the day off

750
01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:39.960
from work, which I should be
able to. It's not a blackout date

751
01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:44.159
or anything like that, and there's
nothing really going on, so um,

752
01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:49.039
but you know, it is also
a night event as well, because it's

753
01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:51.920
like a big concert and everything,
Like there's gonna be two stages of concerts

754
01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:54.960
and stuffing like that going on.
Yeah. Yeah, it's a pretty big

755
01:01:55.079 --> 01:01:59.239
like show that's going on. Yeah, So it's it's definitely gonna be like

756
01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:04.039
the biggest thing that I've ever gone
to by far with it. So but

757
01:02:05.119 --> 01:02:09.000
um, I think with like my
style of art and the way I've been

758
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:14.400
doing things, I think it will
be a perfect fit for things. So

759
01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:17.800
definitely going to be looking forward to
that. But just stay tuned for more

760
01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:22.559
information on that and everything. And
also I've started doing something new with my

761
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:27.559

kind of becoming a promo thing here,

762
01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:37.639
but but uh, and Patreon members

01:03:29.360 --> 01:03:34.599

776
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:46.920
hell yeah, but yeah, that
that that event that that you're going to.

777
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:52.760
Is that a Saturday Saturday night?
Yeah, Saturday night starts at six

778
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:57.480

So are you are you just gonna day

779
01:03:57.480 --> 01:04:04.119

01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:06.599
need that. I still need to
discuss side because I think Lee's gonna come

782
01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:15.559
want a third Oh okay, yeah
yeah that actually that actually sounds like a

783
01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:18.159
good plan. That be fun.
Yeah, I haven't had thing out with

784
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:21.960
y'all. Yeah, I think it
would be a good idea. So sure,

785
01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:26.360
all right, another thing we'll work
off air. Yeah, exactly.

786
01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:30.400
So but that's uh, that's been
it for me pretty much. So uh

787
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:35.360
it's been uh yeah, all on
all good times. Cool. I love

788
01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:40.440
that, love that everybody's doing cool
stuff. Man. I'm proud of y'all

789
01:04:40.599 --> 01:04:44.760
attempting too. You know you got
some art stuff, truth and playing video

790
01:04:44.800 --> 01:04:47.280
games. Bro, this is I'm
gonna I'm gonna tear up over here.

791
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:53.639
On my end of things. I've
I've played a video game or two.

792
01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:57.920
Um, I did finish on a
Fantasy sixteen World credits on that game.

793
01:04:58.360 --> 01:05:01.039
UM, I'll keep it very co
wick. I'm planning to do a spoiler

794
01:05:01.119 --> 01:05:03.840
cast for it. Um. I'm
gathering the crew for it, so that'll

795
01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:09.119
probably come within the next couple of
weeks. Um. But I did very

796
01:05:09.159 --> 01:05:13.920
much enjoy my time with that game. UM, it's cool. I'm not

797
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:17.079
gonna I'm not gonna go too too
deep. UM, I'm not gonna bore

798
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:20.440
the masses here. I'll get that
out on a spoiler cast. UM.

799
01:05:23.159 --> 01:05:30.360
I have I started like a dragon
eshan Oh. Yeah, so that was

800
01:05:31.159 --> 01:05:35.840
it is. It was on sale
on Humble Bundle. Um, and then

801
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:41.159
I get the bundle discount so like
it dropped it down to like twenty five

802
01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:44.280
dollars or something ridiculous, and I
was like, I have to pick this

803
01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:47.920
up. So I picked it up
a couple of days ago, and um,

804
01:05:48.960 --> 01:05:53.360
since I couldn't take a nap today, I decided to play the first

805
01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:56.719
hour and a half of it.
Um. And you know what that's that's

806
01:05:56.760 --> 01:06:00.960
a that's an RGG Studio game.
You know what I'm saying. Like the

807
01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:05.239
it starts off wild and it does
the thing where it's like, uh,

808
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:09.519
it starts off it seems like it's
a it's a future event, right,

809
01:06:09.679 --> 01:06:12.400
and then like you get caught up
in like what's going on, and then

810
01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:15.519
like we're going back to the past
and how they started, um, which

811
01:06:15.599 --> 01:06:19.840
is kind of typical for them.
They do that a lot um and and

812
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:26.840
I'm in for it. It's so
weird seeing like the Yakasa cast in in

813
01:06:27.039 --> 01:06:30.280
this like Edo period, like not
as themselves, you know what I mean,

814
01:06:30.360 --> 01:06:36.000
Because it is h cosma ky to
you. It's like model but it's

815
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:42.559
it's realma um Sakamoto, I think
his name is um. So it's just

816
01:06:42.679 --> 01:06:45.800
really funny it seeing like Mogima but
it's not Mogima. It's somebody else.

817
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:48.039
And I'm just like, mentally,
I'm trying to like get the names right,

818
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:53.039
but I keep thinking of their yakas
the name instead. It's very weird.

819
01:06:53.599 --> 01:06:57.679
Is it supposed to be like their
ancestors or something like that? Probably?

820
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:00.639
Yeah, I'm sure that. I'm
sure that's in there somewhere. Um.

821
01:07:00.960 --> 01:07:04.639
I think that's what which would be
funny like their ancestors. Yeah.

822
01:07:04.760 --> 01:07:09.800
I think I heard something similar to
that too. UM. I wonder if

823
01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:13.320
there's something like explicit in here that
like directly tie us that, UM.

824
01:07:14.440 --> 01:07:16.400
But all the trappings of a yah
Becauza game is in here, right.

825
01:07:16.519 --> 01:07:19.960
Like I've already gone into like a
few side stories, um, and it's

826
01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:25.119
like yep, this this is this
is the goofy goofy stuff here. Um.

827
01:07:25.559 --> 01:07:29.719
And then the main story is it's
some serious good it'll period shit.

828
01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:34.000
Um, I'm I'm in it,
man. I don't know if I'm going

829
01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:39.840
to like try to blitz through it
in the way that I did like Lost

830
01:07:39.920 --> 01:07:42.679
Judgment too, right, where like
I put a lot of my time into

831
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:44.840
it, um, but it was
going to be a game that I try

832
01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:46.000
to play at least a little bit
in the background. I don't know how

833
01:07:46.039 --> 01:07:50.480
long it'll take me to beat it, but um, I'm enjoying what's here.

834
01:07:51.119 --> 01:07:55.400
It is the beat them up style
of game, right, um,

835
01:07:56.239 --> 01:08:00.360
which you know what you're gonna get
out of those games, you know what

836
01:08:00.400 --> 01:08:05.079
I mean. It's just as JANKI
and and silly as as the mainline games,

837
01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:09.199
except this time you know, you
have a you have a sword,

838
01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:12.199
you have a gun. Um,
you have your bare hands, and then

839
01:08:12.239 --> 01:08:17.000
you have sword plus gun as your
stances. Um. And gun is just

840
01:08:17.199 --> 01:08:23.920
really fucking funny because it's just I
feel like I don't know if you actually

841
01:08:23.960 --> 01:08:26.840
do have a limited animal. I
think you do, and you're just fucking

842
01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:30.319
blasting. You're just standing there just
like nah, I don't want to engage.

843
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:33.560
And just like rapid fire hit triangles, it's really they just fucking die,

844
01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:38.880
right because I'm like, you know
what, maybe this is the way

845
01:08:38.880 --> 01:08:43.640
I want to play this game.
I believe it. But it's funny.

846
01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:47.560
Um But like the gun plus sword
style is very much like a breakdance kind

847
01:08:47.600 --> 01:08:50.520
of style, right, It's very
loose and fluid and you're doing lots of

848
01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:57.279
spins and shots, and it's it's
the fun style. Um So I might

849
01:08:57.359 --> 01:09:01.840
I might switch between those two.
Um but yeah, so far it's good.

850
01:09:02.039 --> 01:09:04.279
It hasn't took in me. I
want to know where it goes.

851
01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:09.439
I'm you know, I'm a sucker
for their storytelling. I think they tell

852
01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:13.439
some of the best stories in video
games. Um. It's always really cool

853
01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:18.199
to just have like stories focused around
grown adults rather than like the angsty teens

854
01:09:18.239 --> 01:09:21.039
and all that jazz, you know
what I mean. Um So, there's

855
01:09:21.039 --> 01:09:27.079
there's something just very like even though
it's it's out there, there's also something

856
01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:33.000
very grounded about it that I can
like appreciate, um, so I'll keep

857
01:09:33.079 --> 01:09:41.119
chucking along on that. UM.
I think since Slash Recording, I started

858
01:09:41.319 --> 01:09:46.880
Entrepot Traveler too. UM. I
am what is? What is? Steams

859
01:09:46.960 --> 01:09:50.760
say, probably like thirty hours into
the game, twenty five to thirty showers.

860
01:09:51.920 --> 01:09:59.279
UM, I'm just about done with
all of the chapter two's um.

861
01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:02.520
Since with with Octopaths, you know, Drew talked about it a lot,

862
01:10:02.600 --> 01:10:05.399
but with octopath you know, every
character has their own chapters that you can

863
01:10:05.479 --> 01:10:08.840
go through, and you go through
them minute in any order. Really,

864
01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:14.199
UM, but I what I like
to do is like do everybody's chapters ones,

865
01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:15.439
then do everybody's chapter two. You
know that kind of deal, like

866
01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:21.319
try tod Yeah. Like I feel
like that's like the proper flow of things.

867
01:10:21.399 --> 01:10:27.479
If I was to, like,
for on the way Gate keeps you

868
01:10:27.760 --> 01:10:31.319
level wise, ye, the game
keep You Too. Is why I don't

869
01:10:31.439 --> 01:10:35.159
understand, like, and it's still
always going to be my one complaint about

870
01:10:35.319 --> 01:10:41.479
Octopaths. I don't understand this open
world format when a game clearly like still

871
01:10:41.560 --> 01:10:45.079
wants you to play in like a
certain land it wants you to but you

872
01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:48.840
don't have to write like it's not
very hard to like just keep leveling yourself

873
01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:54.960
up to like go do another story
here or there. Um sure, and

874
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:59.159
quickly do whatever it is you need
to do to progress this main story that

875
01:10:59.239 --> 01:11:02.560
you want to do. I'm sure
up to a point. But um yeah,

876
01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:08.199
I feel like they could definitely do
shovel You in like a better way.

877
01:11:08.640 --> 01:11:11.800
UM. But now the the you
know, I echo a lot of

878
01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:15.760
true sentiments. Um. When when
you talked about the game previously, it's

879
01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:19.800
it's really gorgeous. Um. I
think the the initial trailer for that game

880
01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:24.279
does not do it justice. It
just for how far they take their engine,

881
01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:28.520
which was something that I was looking
forward to, um because like the

882
01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:31.239
first time we saw the game,
like obviously like I do love HG two,

883
01:11:31.399 --> 01:11:33.640
like do not get it twisted.
I love this fucking art style.

884
01:11:34.039 --> 01:11:38.720
Um. But I also want to
continually see like advancements, like I never

885
01:11:38.760 --> 01:11:42.680
want them to get like complacent.
Um. In and when I first did

886
01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:45.239
oh Chet story and you have like
the chase sequence going on right, and

887
01:11:45.319 --> 01:11:48.319
I'm just like, oh, this
is really fucking cool, Like this this

888
01:11:48.600 --> 01:11:53.479
looks fucking great. Um. And
then like the way that some of the

889
01:11:53.960 --> 01:11:57.239
three D models and stuff, as
far as the environment's look are really fucking

890
01:11:57.359 --> 01:12:00.920
good. And um, like the
level of depth in this game goes a

891
01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:04.840
lot farther. UM, so I'm
like, yeah, this looks great.

892
01:12:04.960 --> 01:12:12.600
The boss pacer are really beautiful as
well. So like it it It doesn't

893
01:12:12.640 --> 01:12:15.760
many they pushed themselves forward and I'm
like, yo, this is this is

894
01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:20.119
a fucking fantastic direction. You guys
are going keep it up. Um.

895
01:12:21.680 --> 01:12:26.399
You know it still has the battle
system is still you know, the same

896
01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:30.399
um same chorus systems there, um, except everybody now has like a super

897
01:12:30.439 --> 01:12:39.079
move or whatever, um, which
is neat um um. But yeah,

898
01:12:39.199 --> 01:12:42.840
it's it's it's pretty good. UM. I look forward to doing the eventual

899
01:12:42.920 --> 01:12:47.560
spoiler cast for it. UM.
I think right now, like if I

900
01:12:47.680 --> 01:12:51.600
was if I was to do like
a top three RIB characters right now,

901
01:12:53.079 --> 01:12:58.800
um, it would probably be like, oh, Chet, Tem Tem and

902
01:13:05.279 --> 01:13:14.479
Osold. It's probably the current top
three RIP characters. UM. I feel

903
01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:15.479
like i'll Chet should just be the
main character. I just want to see

904
01:13:15.479 --> 01:13:19.279
i'll Chet interact with everybody. That's
that's really what I'm here for. I

905
01:13:19.319 --> 01:13:24.520
think i'll Chet is like the perfect
just main character and she's just here for

906
01:13:24.600 --> 01:13:28.359
food. Yeah, I understand.
So we wanted to be Ochet Traveler.

907
01:13:28.840 --> 01:13:32.039
I want this to be oh Chet
Traveler honestly, truthfully, Like, if

908
01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:39.039
I could just have a chapter where
it's every character plus oh Chet, I

909
01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:44.399
would be satisfied. Um, because
her interactions with people are very fun.

910
01:13:45.359 --> 01:13:49.560
Um. I did like a couple
of the dual chapters, right, So

911
01:13:49.680 --> 01:13:54.239
that is something that is pretty new
to this game, where they're they're attempting

912
01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:58.359
to have the party members interact with
each other more, which is something that

913
01:13:58.439 --> 01:14:01.039
I appreciated, something that was like
in the first game. Um, I

914
01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:05.840
want them to do more of it. I want more of that, right,

915
01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:11.760
and I want to see more character
pairings. I don't know if everybody

916
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:14.840
gets to pair with everyone else.
I think that seems probably asking for too

917
01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:20.439
much, but I do want to
see more interactions with more party members,

918
01:14:21.319 --> 01:14:25.039
and as long as the game keeps
giving me more of that, I'm cool.

919
01:14:26.439 --> 01:14:32.960
FYI for what it's worth. And
this is something that I will shout

920
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:36.600
out to the game that they do
this because in the first game, the

921
01:14:38.560 --> 01:14:43.359
skits were missible. Yeah, after
you finish the characters chapter, if you

922
01:14:43.479 --> 01:14:48.079
go into the journal, um,
you can watch skits for that you might

923
01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:53.359
have missed, And that's something the
game doesn't tell you, so I felt

924
01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:57.680
I should mention it just in case. Uh. And I do believe you

925
01:14:57.760 --> 01:15:00.720
share a sentiment that I had where
I wish those skits were voiced. I

926
01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:08.439
do, I really, I really
do. Um. There's it's just it

927
01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:13.159
just sounds better, right, Like, like I want to hear these characters

928
01:15:13.279 --> 01:15:16.439
voice these lines because like I love
the way that they sound and in all

929
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:20.800
their little like the little cadence with
with how they speak and stuff like that,

930
01:15:20.920 --> 01:15:24.880
Like I just want to be more
immersed in that. Um. And

931
01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:27.680
and those little skits are fun,
right, So it'll be really cool to

932
01:15:27.720 --> 01:15:30.560
have those voice And I hope they
hope they do that in the future in

933
01:15:30.640 --> 01:15:36.520
any future games that they do.
Um. Out of curiosity, how many

934
01:15:36.800 --> 01:15:45.840
chapter twos have you done? Uh? I am most of them, all

935
01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:50.279
the chapter twos, But have you
done the chapter twos where like characters have

936
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:55.279
multiple chapter twos? Oh as far
as like multiple chapter twos, go,

937
01:15:55.600 --> 01:15:59.399
Um, I haven't finished the multiple
ones, like I've done like one routes

938
01:15:59.479 --> 01:16:01.119
of them, right. But then
like there's a level jump, right,

939
01:16:01.239 --> 01:16:04.399
so it's like okay, let me
work my way around while I level up

940
01:16:04.680 --> 01:16:10.760
kind of deal. There's definitely a
couple of me here that I would like

941
01:16:10.920 --> 01:16:15.960
to talk to you about. Um, I mean I could do. You

942
01:16:15.039 --> 01:16:17.439
want me just boot it up real
quick and tell you which ones I haven't

943
01:16:17.479 --> 01:16:24.359
done? Yes, all right,
Well I don't want to. I want

944
01:16:24.399 --> 01:16:29.159
you to do. Oh my god, I want all right, so live

945
01:16:29.520 --> 01:16:34.000
right now. I am loading up
Octopath Traveler too. Um. What else

946
01:16:34.119 --> 01:16:41.840
was I gonna say about this this
game? Um? That game fucking ever

947
01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:47.479
made. It's a great game.
Um. I I don't know. I

948
01:16:47.720 --> 01:16:50.880
want to see more where the stories
go, Like I want to get to

949
01:16:51.039 --> 01:16:55.520
like a mind blown state, you
know what I mean? Um? And

950
01:16:55.640 --> 01:16:58.960
I don't know what I'm going to
get to like that because every every story

951
01:16:59.079 --> 01:17:05.039
is well, I'm like kind of
whatever about partitio. Um, but I

952
01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:09.560
mean he's a base level base level
everybody is good. I think at base

953
01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:12.279
level, everybody is good. I'm
going to to set that now, right.

954
01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:15.960
Um. But I don't really care
for him all that much and his

955
01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:19.000
story is kind of whatever to me. Um, Jay, you hate my

956
01:17:19.119 --> 01:17:24.039
son. I don't hate your son. I just said it's whatever. Um.

957
01:17:26.199 --> 01:17:30.479
So I'm not like super invested into
storyline, but it's fine. Um,

958
01:17:31.960 --> 01:17:36.319
I need to do Oh chet terror
root, which is one that I

959
01:17:36.399 --> 01:17:45.039
was heading towards. Um. Oh, Chet's other thirty seven glasses roots.

960
01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:50.159
Um, I need to do he
Cary's level two part chapter two, which

961
01:17:50.279 --> 01:17:54.079
is I think that's the one I'm
directly heading towards because I was going to

962
01:17:54.119 --> 01:17:58.399
do he caught in him and moved
my way back east. Um. So

963
01:17:58.560 --> 01:18:04.359
wait a minute, and at it? Are all the characters first initial that

964
01:18:04.600 --> 01:18:12.920
name all Optopath? Yes? Yeah
that is okay, yep, gotcha.

965
01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:16.279
Okay, So what have you done? Like both of thrown As chapter twoos,

966
01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:19.920
both of Chassie chapter twos, because
I am on thrown A chapter three,

967
01:18:21.119 --> 01:18:26.720
yes, Cassi Cassie chapter three.
Yes, the chapter twos are the

968
01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:31.399
ones I listed. Ah, that's
why. Yeah, I'm mostly through all

969
01:18:31.439 --> 01:18:43.000
of the chapter two mm hm.
So that's where we at an Optopath.

970
01:18:43.640 --> 01:18:45.760
Um, I'm gonna try to have
that game beaten within the next couple of

971
01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:48.479
weeks, so by the time Drew
gets back from EVA, I should have

972
01:18:48.560 --> 01:18:54.039
that game completed. Uh. And
it was around the corner, isn't it?

973
01:18:54.319 --> 01:19:00.159
It is? It is one week? It absolutely is. Um,

974
01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:03.920
where's this? You're gone? Go? I'm saying, I'm saying, but

975
01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:06.880
Yeah, that that game's gonna land
very high on on my Game of the

976
01:19:08.000 --> 01:19:12.800
Year list. Like it's it's optopath, it's more optopath, like it's playing

977
01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:15.439
at the end of the day.
It's you take a fucking fantastic video game

978
01:19:15.520 --> 01:19:18.319
and you make it more fantastic,
and it's like, well, this is

979
01:19:18.359 --> 01:19:26.079
still a fantastic video game. Um. There was something else I was going

980
01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:31.039
to mention, uh, and I
got so thrown off track floating up optopath.

981
01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:42.039
Oh what was it? Son of
a bitch? H I'm saying,

982
01:19:43.119 --> 01:19:46.560
Oh, I guess that's it.
If I can't remember it, I'll remember

983
01:19:46.600 --> 01:19:59.840
it next time we look at seem
real quick? What has Robbed been playing

984
01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:10.800
sort by last plane? Oh,
sir, I put an hour into a

985
01:20:10.960 --> 01:20:15.960
taxic cilger repoint. Um. So
I finally picked up the new Taxicoger remaster.

986
01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:20.880
Um, Hey, that game is
great. UM. I don't know

987
01:20:21.039 --> 01:20:25.880
how I feel about the remastered look
like, I kind of wish they gave

988
01:20:25.920 --> 01:20:30.479
me the option of using, um
the non filter that's in place. Um,

989
01:20:31.479 --> 01:20:35.239
just like on a larger screen.
It just there's something about it that

990
01:20:35.359 --> 01:20:41.560
just kind of like feels very muddy, Like the character sprites. UM.

991
01:20:42.399 --> 01:20:46.920
In a way that is it's fine, right, um, but I think

992
01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:53.680
I would rather it less smooth,
if that makes sense. Um. But

993
01:20:53.840 --> 01:20:58.479
the voice acting is is great.
Um. Both both audio tracks, I've

994
01:20:58.479 --> 01:21:00.680
been flipping back and forth. I
think I'm going to land on the English

995
01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:04.920
audio track for it. Um.
But um, both audio tracks are are

996
01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:11.199
fantastic. And it's it's the tactics
that I'm kind of looking for in a

997
01:21:11.319 --> 01:21:15.439
way like I want this game where
I could just build up in like all

998
01:21:15.479 --> 01:21:18.399
these cool jobs and it has like
a story that's like very engaging, m

999
01:21:18.600 --> 01:21:23.039
very interesting from the jump, and
I'm like I want this right now.

1000
01:21:23.119 --> 01:21:27.439
I'm in the mood for this right
now. Um in a way that like

1001
01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:30.119
I want to play Final Fantasy Tactics, Like I'm down for this like very

1002
01:21:30.239 --> 01:21:34.359
serious story. Um. And I'm
looking forward to playing more because I haven't

1003
01:21:34.399 --> 01:21:39.560
played I played the first release of
Tactics Sugger, I haven't played much of

1004
01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:45.840
like the PSP version, right um
or the the was it PSP or was

1005
01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:53.039
it Vitas? Yeah, I played
a little bit of that version, but

1006
01:21:53.119 --> 01:21:58.000
I never play played it to completion. Um. So this, this game

1007
01:21:58.039 --> 01:22:00.359
in a lot of ways feels very
new to me. Considering how long ago

1008
01:22:00.359 --> 01:22:04.159
I've played played it originally. Um
so, I'm very excited to go through

1009
01:22:04.239 --> 01:22:09.479
more of that. Um So that
that's basically what's on my plate as I

1010
01:22:09.520 --> 01:22:14.159
worked through octopot Traveler too in tactics
oger Um with a little bit of like

1011
01:22:14.279 --> 01:22:18.920
a dragon in the background is kind
of my current rotation. Um So yeah,

1012
01:22:20.760 --> 01:22:29.520
uh anything else before we get out
of here top of my head?

1013
01:22:31.640 --> 01:22:35.199
All right, Oh, I guess, uh, I guess the question I

1014
01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:40.079
had earlier was answered, Uh,
nobody got into the tech and eight beta.

1015
01:22:40.199 --> 01:22:44.640
Huh No, unfortunately not. I
was looking for for the email and

1016
01:22:44.720 --> 01:22:47.439
I was like, dang, yeah, I was sad. Yeah. Yeah,

1017
01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:50.840
it sounds like a sounds like the
net coade for that game is kind

1018
01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:59.359
of kind of iffy. I'm hearing
sounds. No, No, Harada thinks

1019
01:22:59.399 --> 01:23:06.119
it's wife, he's he's he's yeah, wild, very wild. They're gonna

1020
01:23:06.159 --> 01:23:09.439
fix that game. Yeah. Yeah, they don't have it. They don't

1021
01:23:09.439 --> 01:23:12.720
have a choice. They actually legitimately
don't have a choice. No, they

1022
01:23:12.800 --> 01:23:16.319
don't. Whatever release date they thought
they had in mine is going to get

1023
01:23:16.359 --> 01:23:23.000
pushed back. Yes. Um so, yeah, that game looks fun though

1024
01:23:24.399 --> 01:23:28.359
from all the clips that I've seen
it's it's very aggressive, like I'm gonna

1025
01:23:28.399 --> 01:23:33.640
get fucking lowed down. Um,
but Lily looks very good and I'm always

1026
01:23:33.680 --> 01:23:38.359
here for a very good version of
Lily. I am just looking forward to

1027
01:23:38.399 --> 01:23:44.000
because my girl June's back. Yeah. Like she's my like of female fighting

1028
01:23:44.039 --> 01:23:46.520
game characters. She has always been
my favorite. Like and the fact I

1029
01:23:46.600 --> 01:23:50.000
only got the player in Tech and
two and the Tag games makes me sad.

1030
01:23:50.760 --> 01:23:55.760
Yeah, she was she in the
Bata. Yes she is. She

1031
01:23:55.920 --> 01:23:58.680
was playing on the Beata and she
looks like I've seen too many clips.

1032
01:23:58.840 --> 01:24:02.640
She looks really really cool too,
Like they they like gave her a mixed

1033
01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:06.359
bag of like her original move set
and unknowns move set, but that made

1034
01:24:06.399 --> 01:24:13.199
it all like angelic looking, uh
okay. So like she she has like

1035
01:24:13.319 --> 01:24:18.279
a from the gameplay that I saw
and everything, like literally she has moves

1036
01:24:18.399 --> 01:24:23.399
that takes away life but makes it
gray life so she can gain it back.

1037
01:24:23.520 --> 01:24:28.840
So she has so she has a
character mechanic where she can use her

1038
01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:33.760
life as a resource, which I've
always thought was pretty cool, especially like

1039
01:24:34.199 --> 01:24:38.680
when you look at other games like
DNF Duel that use your life as a

1040
01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:44.760
resource. Yeah, that that's a
that's a very interesting mechanic and makes you

1041
01:24:44.760 --> 01:24:48.239
think about reflex management in a very
different way. And I'm for it.

1042
01:24:49.680 --> 01:24:56.600
Oh yeah, so all right,
but that's that's pretty much it. Let's

episode of the jsp Anime Cast is up

01:26:45.039 --> 01:26:49.560
this week. We talked about Oshinoko. Um ha ha ha that it is.

1063
01:26:49.920 --> 01:26:56.039
That story. It's very funny because
it was actually going to be a

1064
01:26:56.439 --> 01:27:00.840
filler episode because we went to record
and Jenny was like m Ia, she

1065
01:27:00.000 --> 01:27:02.760
was not responding to anything, and
me and Ash are just like, uh,

1066
01:27:03.279 --> 01:27:08.760
what are we doing? So we
just hit the live stream and we're

1067
01:27:08.800 --> 01:27:10.920
just like, Okay, We're just
gonna bullshit for an hour and see what

1068
01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:14.319
happens. Uh. And then right
as we was getting to wrap up,

1069
01:27:14.399 --> 01:27:17.800
she hopped in there and like I
guess, the filler episode became the cannon

1070
01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:25.399
episode and we ended up talking about
as scheduled. So, Um, we

1071
01:27:25.520 --> 01:27:28.119
talked about a lot of things.
I got a chance to go see the

1072
