  • Better options out there

    Information is good, everything else, not so much. Not as entertaining as I was hoping it would be, but probably should have expected that based on the political leanings of the hosts, which they make well known. Also, if you don’t like the word “like” being used multiple times in a sentence, this is not for you

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Duskbloods Preview, Plus The Sinking City 2
Q: How many maps are in The Duskbloods at launch and are they unique to the game or reused assets?
There will be three maps at launch, and the developer emphasized that these maps are designed for the game's own identity, with new assets and a blend that doesn't reuse Elden Ring assets beyond the studio's general vibe.
Star Fox Remake, Steam Next Fest, And The Adventures Of Elliot
Q: Patrick, have you played the Star Fox 64 remake or the demo, and what are your initial thoughts?
Patrick explains that he appreciated the music and note-for-note feel of the remake, while also acknowledging that it doesn't drastically change the original structure; he enjoyed revisiting the level with updated visuals and audio and sees it as a solid, nostalgic revision rather than a completely new experience.
The Blood of Dawnwalker Exclusive Details & Forza Horizon 6 Review
Q: How do assists and drivatar settings influence progression and credits in Forza Horizon 6?
You can customize assists and drivatar difficulty to balance challenge and rewards; higher difficulty can increase credits, while enabling assists can help with stability and learning curves.
The Blood of Dawnwalker Exclusive Details & Forza Horizon 6 Review
Q: Can you remind me when you are playing multiplayer races? Do you get rewinds in multiplayer?
Rewinds are not available in multiplayer; if they exist, they would affect all players, so the team believes there are no rewinds in multiplayer, ensuring time flow remains consistent.
The Outer Worlds 2, Dispatch, and Samantha Béart Interview
Q: Do you have instances where people come to you like, you're Karlach?
Most people have been cool about it, often recognizing her from her work but allowing her personal space.
