General

• Finally set the darned podcast up entirely…

Music Stuff

• Behringer died, buying cheap gear has its risks.

Tabletop/Cards

• Magic The Gathering ends tournaments on software as well.  Might bring it back later.
  • Just cancelling them has a detrimental effect on local shops perhaps
• Local Metagames is cool!?

Space

• Star Citizen looks like a mess, issues with Kickstarter
  • CJ got in on the ground floor, neven managed to log on
• Why aren’t space games anything like space?  Fer realz?
  • Universal Sandbox
  • KSP

Rpgs

• Hiring modders to help with tools for Cyberpunk 2077
• FFXIV, new controller like riding a bike with the bars backwards
• FF VI and CrossCode and I’ve missed stories. *
  • Story vs Tone vs Filler aka if the plot is about killing gods from the tutorial why am i gardening
    • Genshin
    • FFXIV
• Jae likes Cross Code (and learning patience) **
  • probably a rebuttal on design principles of rewarding patience vs enforcing tempo
    • This is related to difficulty and things like Dark Souls 3 or Celeste or Hades
    • Oh, dashing is broken
    • Designs based off of old ideas that...may or may not have sucked.  Not thinking for yourself, etc.
      • If you’re not going to do it right, cut it.  Block and Parry, for example.
