  • Good stuff. They review some less reviewed games so that's cool, I guess. Also, the crew is just fun to listen to.

  • Once again, politics ruin it

    I like Danny and respect his takes and general professionalism. The other two clowns on this show are ruining his brand with their political takes and outright support of murderers and anarchists. Time to unsubscribe again. Have fun with your Luigi show, I guess.

    Danny, salvage this before it’s too late. You’ve worked too hard for these people you allow on your show to destroy it all.

  • Good pod

    They do a genuinely great job spotlighting lesser-known games. Jesse really needs to cut back on the glib/smug cynicism and Frank needs to breathe.

  • Danny is 100% wrong about AI voice “acting”

    Great show. But Danny, you are 100% wrong in your position regarding AI voice “acting”. Is it cheaper and easier to use AI? Sure. But we can say that about every human creative endeavor. (Including video shooting, production, and editing, btw.) Stop being an apologist for late-stage capitalism. AI slop is garbage and is burning the planet.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Soul Injector Commando, Welcome to Elderfield, World of Warcraft Forever
Q: Does The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time reference a specific RPG, or does it exist in its own world?
Jenna says it has its own fictional setting, while drawing influence from Chrono Trigger, early Final Fantasy, and retro RPG fan culture. Players explore a puzzle-focused developer space and piece together the game's mechanics and backstory.
Soul Injector Commando, Welcome to Elderfield, World of Warcraft Forever
Q: How do you take these zones that people have borderline memorized and add new quests and content in a way that feels cohesive?
Jeremy says the challenge is blending new content with the familiar classic world while maintaining its distinctive design and social qualities. He is cautiously optimistic about the game but hopes Blizzard will eventually make a new MMORPG.
Summer Madness: Dead or Alive 6: Last Round, Lots of Classic Games & Emails - 287
Q: What are some layers of empathy you can think of when you play older games?
The group discusses empathy as understanding the original context and constraints, including the hardware limitations, loading times, and aimed game design of older systems; they emphasize that playing with those constraints can deepen appreciation and shape how you experience and interpret the game's intent.
PRAGMATA, Samson, Dosa Divas Interview
Q: How important was the demo to defining the game's scope, scale, and village design?
The demo functioned as a critical tool to validate mechanics, camera work, art style, and progression flow; it helped set the scope for three main villages and guided decisions on spaces, characters, and the amount of content.
PRAGMATA, Samson, Dosa Divas Interview
Q: What was the original concept for Dosa Divas and how did it evolve from Thirsty Suitors?
The core idea stayed around family dynamics and storytelling through a cooking-meets-battle mechanic, but the combat system was expanded to be more expressive and squad-based, drawing from RPGs while keeping flavor as the central theme.
