Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Remap Developer Interview: Routine
Q: Gemma, what does that make you think of over the course of the game's development?
It's a hard question to answer because I feel like a lot of developers will go for a phase where you don't want to release it until you're happy to a certain degree.
Remap Radio 109 – Breach and Clear
Q: How do you feel about the difficulty adjustments made to Silksong?
I think it's interesting how the game design chooses to delay giving players key abilities, which ultimately affects the gameplay experience. It can create a sense of frustration or triumph, depending on how players engage with the world and what they expect from a Metroidvania game.
The State of Nintendo (feat: Kat Bailey!)
Q: Why did you want to start the newsletter, Nintend Cats, and why do you find the company interesting enough that you wanted to dedicate that much time, space and effort to thinking through what they're doing?
I think Nintendo really fits to my tastes. I love Metroid, I love Mario, I love Pokemon. I love the aesthetic of Nintendo games. I really, really love Zelda.
Sports! (Feat: 404 Media’s Jason Koebler)
Q: How do you actually get into sports after years of disinterest?
Start by leaning on friends and family who are interested in sports, perhaps focusing on one sport at a time to avoid being overwhelmed. Consider following former players' podcasts or engaging with the sport through local minor league games.
The Minecraft YouTuber Behind 2025's Most Diabolical Video Game
Q: What's your approach to difficulty and challenge in a game meant to be really challenging?
I aim to make the game as least punishing as possible while providing challenges that require skill and understanding of mechanics.
