(1m 50s) Kevin:

(1m 55s)

skipped over the last month

(1m 57s)

Woo!

(2m)

Um, yes, okay, but before that, you know, as we do, we’ll talk about other stuff.

(2m 5s)

Well, actually, no, Chelsea, what have you been up to?

What Have We Been Up To

(2m 8s) Kevin:

Ignore me.

(2m 8s) Chelsea:

I’ll keep it short. Okay, so I started. Okay, I’ll donate my time to you. Okay, so I started a book called Dungeon Crawler Carl that so many people have recommended to me and I’m five or six chapters in and absolutely hooked. Have you heard about this book?

(2m 8s) Kevin:

Okay.

(2m 11s)

Don’t, I won’t.

(2m 12s)

Ha, ha, ha.

(2m 27s)

I have heard of it I i’ve heard uh how should I put this wild things about this book

(2m 33s) Chelsea:

yeah so yeah I’m only six chapters in and um I had borrowed the book and I also have the audible

(2m 40s)

version and what oh my god the narration is hilarious um yeah I’ve been doing it while I

(2m 44s) Kevin:

No, the audibles. This sounds like a good one for audible.

(2m 48s) Chelsea:

I craft um I’ve been I’ve been doing this bedazzled goose lamp I’ll show photos once it’s done it

(2m 55s) Kevin:

Oh, that one’s good.

(2m 56s) Chelsea:

sounds really dumb but it’s no it’s fun I’m enjoying it um aside from that yeah that’s oh

(3m) Kevin:

Uh-oh, that’s one for this.

(3m 3s) Chelsea:

and then yesterday my husband and I went to spirit Halloween it is never I don’t care it’s never too

(3m 8s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(3m 11s) Chelsea:

early it’s there it’s in an abandoned Toys R Us it’s kind of sad has the shell like if you go behind

(3m 15s) Kevin:

Yeah, yeah, the logos, yeah.

(3m 18s) Chelsea:

the curtain they still have all the like the displays and stuff and yeah I kind of want to

(3m 24s)

just buy one see if I can get like a what’s his name Jeff the giraffe or Jerry the giraffe see if

(3m 29s) Kevin:

yeah jeffrey jeffrey but anyways um they should just lean into it

(3m 29s) Chelsea:

I can get a stand of his

(3m 30s)

Jeffrey

(3m 33s)

they should that would be amazing

(3m 34s) Kevin:

they should have put up a jeffrey in a reaper cloak but uh

(3m 39s) Chelsea:

anyway so we still have one Toys R Us

(3m 41s)

left in the city

(3m 42s)

but I think it’s closing pretty soon

(3m 45s)

I know I know

(3m 45s) Kevin:

Oh, it’s really just dead.

(3m 47s) Chelsea:

it’s the one thing for Canada we have Toys R Us

(3m 49s)

but it got it went bankrupt

(3m 51s)

I don’t know if it went bankrupt or someone else bought it out

(3m 51s) Kevin:

This may be an impossible question to answer,

(3m 53s) Chelsea:

but like it’s not it’s nothing anymore

(3m 59s) Kevin:

but you as a parent,

(4m 2s)

you are probably better equipped to answer this.

(4m 5s)

Do you think there is need for toy stores?

(4m 8s) Chelsea:

Yes.

(4m 9s) Kevin:

Okay.

(4m 10s)

Okay.

(4m 10s)

I just want to make sure.

(4m 11s)

I thought there were,

(4m 13s)

and I know it’s a bunch of corporate

(4m 13s) Chelsea:

Yeah.

(4m 15s) Kevin:

nonsense that led to Toys R Us

(4m 17s)

dying, but

(4m 18s)

I still feel like that is a demand

(4m 21s)

that exists. I just want it to be.

(4m 22s) Chelsea:

Yeah. And there’s still, I don’t know if it’s in the States too, but in Canada, we have Mastermind

(4m 25s)

Toys. And they were like the more chic Toys R Us, I guess. They’re still around. They’re doing

(4m 34s)

pretty well. But they’re obviously filling in the market that Toys R Us left behind around here.

(4m 38s) Kevin:

Yeah, sadly.

(4m 39s) Chelsea:

I don’t know if my nostalgia is blinding me, but I love, even as a grown-up, taking the kids to

(4m 44s)

Toys R Us. I’m like, yes, we can go to Toys R Us. Yeah, we’re going to look at those overpriced

(4m 45s) Kevin:

Oh, yes.

(4m 48s)

No.

(4m 50s) Chelsea:

everything.

(4m 51s) Kevin:

Yeah, yeah.

(4m 52s) Chelsea:

But no, it was, yeah, no, I think

(4m 54s)

there still would be a place for Toys R Us.

(4m 56s) Kevin:

Okay.

(4m 58s)

Yeah, I think so, too.

(4m 59s)

Obviously, as anyone who’s listened to this show can tell you,

(5m 4s)

I’m still just a big kid.

(5m 6s)

So I dig it.

(5m 8s)

I haven’t been to Toys R Us in years.

(5m 10s)

It’s not existing down here.

(5m 11s)

But, yeah, sadly, we don’t have any replacements.

(5m 15s)

It’s just pretty much the big box retailers.

(5m 19s)

Technically, the branding was used in, I think, Macy’s.

(5m 22s)

There’s, like, a toy section there, but it’s, you know,

(5m 24s)

it’s Macy’s still, so whatever.

(5m 27s) Chelsea:

Oh, yeah, we tried that in Canada. Not with Toys R Us, but we had Zellers, which if anyone knows what that is, it’s like Canadian Walmart, basically. They close. That’s a whole, we don’t have time to get into Canadian Tire.

(5m 28s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(5m 32s)

Mm-hmm.

(5m 35s)

I don’t know.

(5m 36s)

I’m looking it up.

(5m 38s)

Oh, okay.

(5m 39s)

I thought that was Canadian Tire.

(5m 45s)

I found one near me the other day.

(5m 48s) Chelsea:

That’s a whole episode on its own. Like, do a video tour of Canadian Tire and say, like, live tour of what’s going on in the store. Anyway, so yeah.

(5m 57s)

So Zellers was basically Canadian Walmart. And then they tried to do a rebrand and have part of Hudson’s Bay Company, which ironically was purchased by Canadian Tire.

(6m 9s) Kevin:

Ha ha ha ha ha!

(6m 10s) Chelsea:

But they had a section of Hudson’s Bay Company as like a little pop-up Zellers. But I don’t know how well that worked, but apparently they’re bringing Zellers back. But then at the same time, yeah, Canadian Tire.

(6m 18s) Kevin:

Uh-huh.

(6m 27s) Chelsea:

Canadian Tire bought Hudson’s Bay. So it’s just a bunch of companies in a top hat. Like, it’s all just one thing. So it doesn’t even matter. But yeah, Canadian Tire. Oh my god, Kevin, if you come to Canada, that’s the first place I’m bringing you.

(6m 30s) Kevin:

that’s funny

(6m 31s)

yeah

(6m 34s)

yeah

(6m 35s)

yeah

(6m 43s)

what if I told you I found one near me oh yeah it’s about so it’s uh yeah let me look up things

(6m 46s) Chelsea:

No.

(6m 52s) Kevin:

I believe it’s for red um anyways it’s in one of these atlanta suburbs um it’s very funny how i

(6m 58s)

found it um it was my sister’s birthday recently and I was looking for some stuff and I looked for

(7m 4s)

a specific uh anime store because she’s a huge weeb too anyway so I drove down there was about

(7m 9s)

25 minutes from where I am

(7m 10s)

and lo and behold I see the sign

(7m 13s)

for a Canadian

(7m 15s)

tire right there

(7m 16s)

I didn’t go to it sadly didn’t have time

(7m 18s)

but it exists

(7m 21s)

in the area I’ll have to see what it’s like

(7m 23s)

and we’ll have to compare notes

(7m 24s)

(7m 39s) Chelsea:

(7m 46s) Kevin:

(8m 23s)

Oh, the restaurant was incredible.

(8m 24s) Kevin:

(8m 26s) Chelsea:

This is how we’re starting this episode?

(8m 27s)

No, it was like this like 50s diner.

(8m 29s)

They had amazing milkshakes.

(8m 31s)

There was one in the mall.

(8m 32s)

There used to be a big Zeller’s at a mall that was near my house

(8m 36s)

that I actually worked at for a little bit.

(8m 37s)

And then they went bankrupt.

(8m 39s)

Not because of me, though.

(8m 40s)

I promise.

(8m 42s)

No, but they had an amazing like 50s diner with like grilled cheese

(8m 45s)

and all these diner staple

(8m 47s)

(8m 47s)

Ah, ah, did you see that?

(11m 16s) Kevin:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, look

(11m 19s)

They’re doing the thing

(11m 20s)

Yeah, no, but

(11m 25s)

That was good stuff, Tom Holland

(11m 27s)

Glad you enjoyed the role, because you’re probably going to be there

(11m 31s)

For a bit, buddy

(11m 32s)

Yeah, yeah, I don’t

(11m 33s) Chelsea:

Yeah, he must have sent a blood oath or something.

(11m 36s)

He’s there forever.

(11m 38s)

He’s great, though.

(11m 38s) Kevin:

No one wants to let you go now

(11m 39s) Chelsea:

I enjoy him.

(11m 41s) Kevin:

Oh, okay

(11m 41s) Chelsea:

Nope.

(11m 45s)

Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

(11m 45s) Kevin:

Yeah, yeah, she did

(11m 46s) Chelsea:

Your sister enjoyed it, too?

(11m 49s) Kevin:

Yeah, well, I’ve said it a handful of times in communications

(11m 55s)

But we need to do an MCU pre-Doomsday episode

(11m 58s) Chelsea:

Yes, we do.

(11m 59s) Kevin:

Because there are many thoughts

(12m 1s)

I am excited for Doomsday, I’ll say that

(12m 3s)

But anyways, there’s many thoughts

(12m 5s)

Okay, aside from that

(12m 9s)

I have played Pocopia DLC Has Descended Upon the Earth

(12m 14s)

It took me a minute, but I did get into it

(12m 17s)

I have literally dove in

(12m 19s)

As we are now underwater

(12m 20s)

Obviously we’re going to do an episode

(12m 23s)

On it so I won’t get into too much detail

(12m 25s)

I’m of course enjoying it

(12m 28s)

The one thing I will say

(12m 29s)

That is pretty cool

(12m 30s)

Just on a general level

(12m 32s)

Having a new area

(12m 35s)

But having all your tools

(12m 37s)

Is pretty fun

(12m 39s)

Because you can just start hammering away

(12m 42s)

And building stuff up

(12m 44s)

How you want pretty much immediately

(12m 46s)

Um

(12m 46s) Chelsea:

Oh, that’s good. You don’t have to go through a quest to unlock stuff to use in the area.

(12m 49s) Kevin:

That’s great

(12m 51s)

There’s a handful of things

(12m 52s)

But I mean

(12m 53s)

Like you see a rundown house

(12m 56s)

You can build up that rundown house right away

(12m 58s)

You know

(12m 59s)

There’s a couple of new mechanics and stuff

(13m 2s)

That they do introduce

(13m 3s)

And that’s fun

(13m 3s)

But yeah

(13m 5s)

We’ll get into detail in the episode

(13m 6s)

But overall I’m loving it

(13m 8s)

I will say

(13m 10s)

Also kudos to them

(13m 12s)

There’s a lot of little like

(13m 13s)

Small sneaky quality of life things

(13m 16s)

They added as part of the free update

(13m 18s)

Not the DLC itself

(13m 19s)

Um

(13m 19s) Chelsea:

Oh, great.

(13m 19s) Kevin:

Yeah

(13m 21s)

Like trash cans actually work now

(13m 23s)

As trash cans

(13m 23s)

That’s a fun little one

(13m 24s)

Um

(13m 25s)

Uh

(13m 26s)

But yeah

(13m 26s)

We’ll

(13m 27s)

I’ll get into that later

(13m 29s)

But yeah

(13m 29s)

Bubbly basin

(13m 31s)

Good stuff

(13m 31s)

Um

(13m 32s)

Let’s see

(13m 33s)

Aside from that

(13m 34s)

Um

(13m 34s)

I have also

(13m 35s)

Uh

(13m 36s)

As we’ve had too much quality content

(13m 39s)

On the show recently

(13m 39s)

It’s time to

(13m 40s)

Talk about some of my

(13m 41s)

Degenerate content

(13m 42s)

Uh

(13m 43s)

I’ve been

(13m 43s) Chelsea:

oh dear

(13m 44s) Kevin:

Uh

(13m 45s)

Getting back into some of my

(13m 46s)

Basically gotchas

(13m 47s)

The first one

(13m 49s)

zone zero uh i’ve talked about on the show I don’t know are you familiar chelsea of zone zero

(13m 49s) Chelsea:

I don’t think so actually

(13m 54s) Kevin:

okay uh it’s hoyo mihoyo the uh genshin impact company um they uh it’s one of their big flagship

(13m 56s) Chelsea:

okay

(14m 4s) Kevin:

games it’s uh it’s uh an action sort of game kind of like uh devil may cry but much lighter um

(14m 11s)

yeah so yeah genshin’s you know kind of zelda breath of the wild uh the hunkai star rail the

(14m 17s)

space when that’s like turn-based

(14m 19s)

RPG this is more

(14m 21s)

fast-paced action combat

(14m 23s)

so that’s why it really

(14m 25s)

appealed to me I dove in I’ve been on it since

(14m 27s)

the beginning and

(14m 29s)

yeah I’ve been I took a bit of a

(14m 31s)

break with so much work and stuff but

(14m 32s)

jumped back in right around the time they’re

(14m 35s)

celebrating their second anniversary

(14m 37s)

and it’s

(14m 39s)

yeah they’re pretty all the goodies

(14m 41s)

are being handed out it’s very fun

(14m 42s)

so yeah I won’t go into detail but I will say

(14m 45s)

oh one thing with a lot of these

(14m 47s)

Mojo games pretty much when you start a new

(14m 49s)

it’s a new setting

(14m 50s)

it’ll be a new quote-unquote season or whatever

(14m 53s)

and it lasts pretty much a year

(14m 54s)

the starting

(14m 57s)

setting was like the city

(14m 59s)

it was very cool I liked it year one

(15m 1s)

or the on the second

(15m 3s)

setting last year’s was

(15m 4s)

didn’t appeal to me as much I mean it was like

(15m 7s)

kind of rural China

(15m 8s) Chelsea:

No.

(15m 9s) Kevin:

based which I don’t know just maybe not the

(15m 11s)

target audience for that but

(15m 12s)

this year we’re going into a kind

(15m 15s)

of steampunk

(15m 16s)

floating city in the sky

(15m 19s)

much more like Europe

(15m 20s)

England London

(15m 23s)

a little bit Paris based

(15m 24s)

I find it much more interesting

(15m 27s)

as a setting so I’m enjoying

(15m 29s)

it so far but but yeah

(15m 30s)

yeah anyways

(15m 32s)

I’ve been doing my pools doing all that good stuff

(15m 35s)

and the other one

(15m 36s)

probably even I can get even more degenerate

(15m 37s) Chelsea:

Hmm.

(15m 39s) Kevin:

than Zenless Zone Zero

(15m 40s)

I have been

(15m 42s)

dipping my toe back

(15m 44s)

into the

(15m 45s)

most cursed

(15m 46s)

of all my

(15m 47s)

hobbies

(15m 49s)

yeah it’s it’s a good time to get back in because

(15m 50s) Chelsea:

Yes, yes, I love it.

(15m 58s) Kevin:

I probably should do a green house on Yu-Gi-Oh at some point

(16m 3s)

but they release and announce sets that they’ll often lean into nostalgia and whatnot and so I’ll get very excited about some sets and whatnot

(16m 4s) Chelsea:

Oh my goodness, yes.

(16m 15s) Kevin:

I’m playing a lot of online right now.

(16m 19s)

The worst part about Yu-Gi-Oh! is there’s kind of this, how should I put this, it’s very desynced.

(16m 26s)

There’s the online version, the actual physical version varies between the Japanese version and the Western version.

(16m 34s)

It’s a very strange rollout how they approach it, unlike, say, like Magic the Gathering, which is kind of worldwide all at the same time.

(16m 41s)

But anyways, Yu-Gi-Oh! it’s a lot of fun.

(16m 44s)

I’m just picking up games, getting back into it.

(16m 47s)

It’s an insane game for…

(16m 49s)

Crazy people, but sadly, I’m stuck here.

(16m 51s) Chelsea:

oh man don’t get me started back in there I did I did but I got to the point where my parents were

(16m 52s) Kevin:

Have you played Yu-Gi-Oh, Chelsea?

(16m 55s)

I don’t understand.

(16m 58s) Chelsea:

like pick one pokemon digimon yugioh we are not buying stuff for all of these and I said pokemon

(17m 3s) Kevin:

No. All. Yeah. Oh, 100%. Like right now, they just released a set out in the US. It’s called Chaos Impact. I can’t remember the name of it. Anyways, it has Yugi on the cover of the packs.

(17m 6s) Chelsea:

does does yugioh lean into blue eyes the way pokemon leads into charizard

(17m 12s)

yeah okay okay I kind of figured

(17m 28s) Kevin:

It’s the first time they’ve done that in like 15, 20 years, whatever, and everyone’s losing

(17m 33s)

their minds.

(17m 34s) Chelsea:

Oh man. Okay. It sounds like a good time to get back in. Like my wallet’s jingling.

(17m 36s) Kevin:

Oh, yeah.

(17m 38s)

Oh, yeah.

(17m 39s)

It’s probably as good as it’s going to get.

(17m 44s) Chelsea:

I love that optimism.

(17m 44s) Kevin:

The game has inherent problems, but they’re releasing fun stuff that appeals to people.

(17m 51s)

I’ll say that.

(17m 53s) Chelsea:

okay so if you get a message from me at 3am like kevin you’ll never believe it you have yourself to

(17m 57s) Kevin:

Oh, you know, if you need me to.

(18m 3s)

But, you know, to be your sharp a little, let me know.

(18m 6s)

But, yeah, Yu-Gi-Oh, I’m dabbling back in.

(18m 10s)

The thing is, I’m never really out.

(18m 11s)

There are just periods where I’m not playing, but I’m never out.

(18m 15s)

I’ll be following along.

(18m 16s)

But, yeah, that’s good times.

(18m 19s)

Yu-Gi-Oh.

(18m 20s)

Okay.

(18m 22s)

That’s what’s been up in my life world.

(18m 24s)

Hello, everyone.

(18m 26s)

Let’s just, if you have nothing else, Chelsea, let’s dive on into, I know what

I Know What You Released Last Month (ish)

(18m 33s) Kevin:

you released last month-ish, apostrophe, or dash-esque.

(18m 37s)

There’s a lot of games that came out.

(18m 40s)

Okay.

(18m 40s)

June Games.

(18m 42s)

Odd Fauna.

(18m 43s)

The game of your…

(18m 45s)

Okay.

(18m 46s)

I didn’t realize this.

(18m 47s)

That game has handcrafted clay models.

(18m 51s) Chelsea:

yes it’s super cute I know I watched the trailer just in awe like oh my goodness yes

(18m 51s) Kevin:

That’s insane.

(18m 57s)

So, yeah, I didn’t realize that.

(18m 59s)

I’m much more interested in that game.

(19m 3s)

It’s, you know, kind of working with creatures and farming on top of the big beast.

(19m 9s)

And they call it the Terror Beast.

(19m 10s)

But the fact that they were handcrafted clay models and then digitized, wow, that’s awesome.

(19m 15s)

So, I’m actually intrigued now.

(19m 18s)

Let’s see.

(19m 20s)

Solar Punk.

(19m 22s)

That’s kind of…

(19m 23s)

It looks like No Man’s Sky.

(19m 25s)

It’s the farming.

(19m 27s)

You create a base.

(19m 28s)

You use solar and wind energy.

(19m 30s)

I don’t have much for this one, guys.

(19m 33s)

You are.

(19m 35s)

Tales of Seikyu?

(19m 37s)

I’m Weeb, but not weeb enough to pronounce Japanese things correctly.

(19m 42s)

Yeah.

(19m 43s)

It’s the Yokai Weeb game!

(19m 45s)

So, we all know I’m all in.

(19m 48s)

But also, I didn’t realize…

(19m 50s)

I mean, I should have expected, but I didn’t realize it.

(19m 52s)

You could date some of these yokais.

(19m 53s)

So, you know, we got our little just hint of furry in there.

(19m 59s) Chelsea:

Just enough, yeah.

(19m 59s) Kevin:

But you do.

(20m 1s)

I mean, you are…

(20m 3s)

You’re a fox girl, technically.

(20m 4s)

I didn’t realize that.

(20m 5s)

But you are a fox yokai.

(20m 6s)

That’s why you can transform.

(20m 7s)

All the jokes…

(20m 8s) Chelsea:

Speaking of fox furries, sorry, I see a beastro up there.

(20m 9s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(20m 10s)

Oh!

(20m 11s)

Oh!

(20m 13s)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(20m 14s)

Right it.

(20m 15s)

Ooh, bravo.

(20m 16s)

Yeah, Bistro.

(20m 17s)

You guys know that came out

(20m 18s)

because we talked about it.

(20m 19s)

You talked about it.

(20m 20s)

It’s a good episode.

(20m 21s) Chelsea:

Oh yeah, 100% that game.

(20m 23s) Kevin:

Ooh, you did.

(20m 24s) Chelsea:

I did.

(20m 24s) Kevin:

Ooh, that’s sick.

(20m 25s) Chelsea:

Oh, yeah.

(20m 27s) Kevin:

That’s…

(20m 27s)

I think that’s high praise.

(20m 28s)

Anytime we actually go back to finish a game,

(20m 30s)

I think that’s high praise.

(20m 33s)

Cool.

(20m 34s) Chelsea:

it is I started it

(20m 35s) Kevin:

July.

(20m 36s)

Moonlight Peaks.

(20m 37s)

That’s the game with the vampires.

(20m 40s)

I hear…

(20m 41s) Chelsea:

oh no no no no no no not spill it anything no no reason no particular reason

(20m 41s) Kevin:

For any reason, I would wonder.

(20m 46s)

Who knows?

(20m 47s)

Moving on!

(20m 50s)

Who knows?

(20m 52s)

Oh, you know what?

(20m 53s)

I was about to make a Spirit Halloween joke,

(20m 55s)

but can I go back one second to Spirit Halloween?

(20m 59s)

One thing I saw,

(21m 1s)

they’re selling that life-size

(21m 3s)

Five Nights at Freddy’s

(21m 4s)

the Fazbear animatronic

(21m 5s) Chelsea:

oh I have a video of it I sent my kids and they’re like mom do not come home with that

(21m 6s) Kevin:

but what if you did

(21m 10s) Chelsea:

well then they probably still think we’re the coolest house on the block so

(21m 13s) Kevin:

and I gotta say

(21m 17s) Chelsea:

I don’t have the power source to link that in the front yard like I was thinking about the

(21m 18s) Kevin:

500 USD is not bad

(21m 20s)

for like

(21m 22s)

oh what

(21m 25s) Chelsea:

logistics of it they also had an alien one that was super super cool um yeah yeah I’ll post it in

(21m 30s) Kevin:

wait Alien TM

(21m 31s)

Or…

(21m 33s) Chelsea:

the Slack. It was super cool.

(21m 35s)

And I’m like, you know what?

(21m 37s)

I can’t be bringing my wallet in here.

(21m 40s) Kevin:

that’s sick okay so yeah that moonlight peaks the spirit of halloween game uh it’s

(21m 46s)

will be talked about on the show maybe um go go town also came out you guys know the one that’s

(21m 54s)

on chainsaws and aliens and werewolves and all sorts of nonsense it hit 1.0 good for you go go

(22m)

town I might play you one day you you do look like a good game I will say that um farlands i

(22m 7s)

call it Space Duvalli because it looks like

(22m 10s)

Stardew Valley but it’s in

(22m 10s) Chelsea:

base too. Incredible. Oh, that’s all.

(22m 11s) Kevin:

space and that’s all

(22m 14s)

yeah I don’t have much else for that

(22m 17s)

I’m sorry

(22m 18s)

The Ranchers came out in

(22m 21s)

July and that’s

(22m 23s)

an interesting one

(22m 25s)

yeah yeah because it’s quote unquote

(22m 25s) Chelsea:

I screamed at the trailer when the car just flies up

(22m 29s)

and the hot air balloon or whatever I was like

(22m 32s) Kevin:

yeah yeah yeah

(22m 33s)

the hot air balloon

(22m 34s) Chelsea:

yeah

(22m 34s) Kevin:

it’s quote unquote realistic

(22m 37s)

because that’s kind of the aesthetic

(22m 40s)

but then it goes places

(22m 41s)

you start you’re you first of all

(22m 44s)

you’re like it’s I think it’s the first farming game where you’re

(22m 46s)

like proper driving a car

(22m 47s)

that’s interesting

(22m 49s)

but then

(22m 52s)

it goes all over you have relationships with

(22m 54s)

people in the city because you do and it

(22m 56s)

looks like a very realistic suburb

(22m 57s)

but then but then there’s

(23m)

magic at the end and hot air balloons

(23m 2s)

and okay it’s not as realistic

(23m 4s)

as I thought but

(23m 6s)

yeah they’re doing a lot good for you

(23m 8s)

ranchers also

(23m 10s)

I gotta say I should have put this

(23m 11s)

anytime there’s romance in the games

(23m 13s)

it feels like they tend to skew

(23m 16s)

young 20s 30s

(23m 18s)

attractive sort of people

(23m 19s)

these models

(23m 22s)

did not seem that attractive

(23m 23s)

I’m sorry but that makes it stand out

(23m 24s) Chelsea:

iconic there you go sorry they’re not furries kevin

(23m 27s) Kevin:

in my opinion

(23m 28s)

um so they

(23m 31s)

oh

(23m 33s)

um

(23m 34s)

and lastly

(23m 36s)

we have village in the shade

(23m 38s)

um

(23m 40s)

yeah

(23m 40s)

oh this one’s sick

(23m 42s)

because I see it

(23m 43s)

I like the art style

(23m 45s)

um

(23m 45s)

it’s it’s

(23m 47s)

and we’re in Japan again

(23m 48s)

hey shocker

(23m 49s)

Kevin likes the weeb game

(23m 50s)

um

(23m 51s)

uh

(23m 52s)

but then we

(23m 53s)

that’s the one

(23m 54s)

we’re returning to straight out

(23m 55s)

horror

(23m 55s)

um

(23m 57s) Chelsea:

oh no uh so it looks all sweet and innocent and then it ends up scary I’m out nope I can’t do it

(23m 57s) Kevin:

yeah

(23m 58s)

yeah

(23m 59s)

yeah

(24m 3s)

yeah

(24m 3s)

yeah

(24m 4s)

yeah

(24m 4s)

yeah

(24m 4s)

it’s

(24m 7s)

I’m interested

(24m 8s)

because it looks like

(24m 10s)

such a uh

(24m 11s)

like just a very cutesy

(24m 12s)

sort of game

(24m 13s)

but the way they pivot

(24m 15s)

it’s wild

(24m 16s)

um

(24m 17s)

I’m

(24m 18s)

I’m generally not a horror guy

(24m 20s)

but I’m very interested

(24m 21s)

how they’re playing with both here

(24m 23s)

um

(24m 24s)

yeah I know it looks

(24m 25s)

look there is

(24m 26s)

blood in this trailer

(24m 28s)

like that’s

(24m 28s)

that’s the level we’re talking

(24m 29s)

like yeah

(24m 30s)

um

(24m 31s)

and it’s out

(24m 32s)

so I will check it out

(24m 33s)

(25m 3s)

Well, sadly, no, you can’t do sick kickflips, but you can skateboard.

(25m 6s) Chelsea:

I asked my husband who is a huge harvest moon fan and he’s like

(25m 48s) Kevin:

Yeah, well, that’s a thing, right?

(25m 56s)

If it’s Harvest Moon TM

(25m 58s)

Then that’s kind of going to be the response

(26m 2s)

Oh, this is really a cute art style we’re looking at.

(27m 40s)

Oh, we’ve got a Kappa.

(27m 42s)

I’m sorry.

(27m 43s)

I’m trying to remember what this one is here.

(27m 45s) Chelsea:

Yeah, Kappa, a little Kappa companion.

(27m 47s) Kevin:

Yeah, it’s got…

(27m 49s)

It’s got a very kind of classic GBA sort of aesthetic.

(27m 55s) Chelsea:

I was going to say, it looks exactly like a Game Boy Advance game, but in a positive way, not…

(27m 57s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(27m 59s)

Yeah, in a positive way, yeah.

(28m 1s)

Yeah, this is very cute.

(28m 2s)

The animations, yeah.

(28m 4s)

They’re knocking out of the park.

(28m 5s)

That’s what they’re going for.

(28m 7s) Chelsea:

Yeah.

(28m 7s) Kevin:

Yeah, help take care of that Kappa.

(28m 10s)

Yeah, Dunchy Days.

Okay, and that is, again, October 29th.

(28m 16s)

All right, next up, we have Farming Camp, September 24th.

Farming Camp

(28m 21s) Kevin:

That is around the corner, because time goes way too fast.

(28m 27s)

We’ve got…

(28m 29s)

This is the one where…

(28m 30s)

This isn’t like a magical camp.

(28m 32s)

Yeah, it is.

(28m 33s)

Okay.

(28m 34s) Chelsea:

yeah so here’s a description on steam it says plant crops care for adorable animals complete

(28m 38s)

fun mini games and help restore the camp while building lasting friendships along the way

(28m 42s)

whether you’re working together with fellow campers or competing and friendly challenges

(28m 46s)

every day brings new adventures and memories to make which really narrows it down in the cozy

(28m 51s)

game community but no it looks cute yeah september 24th

(28m 53s) Kevin:

Yeah, it looks better than I remember because I remember we talked about this one before.

(29m 1s)

Does it got on the top?

(29m 2s)

I don’t know.

(29m 4s) Chelsea:

The guy in a top hat.

(29m 5s) Kevin:

Yeah, the chickens are very round and cute.

(29m 9s)

I’m down for this.

(29m 11s)

I’m interested.

(29m 12s)

I’ll keep an eye on it.

(29m 14s)

The camp is an interesting setting trying to play that angle.

(29m 20s) Chelsea:

Yeah.

(29m 20s) Kevin:

Oh, God.

Frog Island

(29m 23s) Kevin:

Next up, we have a winner winner because it’s Frog Island.

(29m 29s) Chelsea:

Frog Island!

(29m 30s) Kevin:

Yeah, it’s how should I put this?

(29m 32s)

It’s it’s like that bunny game.

(29m 34s)

I forget the one.

(29m 36s)

It’s the one Kelly.

(29m 38s)

I think Kelly or Maddie played it.

(29m 38s) Chelsea:

Oh, uh, I played it too. Usagi Shima? Yeah, The Bunny Village.

(29m 42s) Kevin:

Yeah, that’s the one.

(29m 45s)

Yeah, it looks like that, but frogs, to be very frank.

(29m 48s) Chelsea:

Oh my god. Yes.

(29m 50s) Kevin:

But I mean, go off, Chelsea.

(29m 53s)

I thought it was a frog queen, so.

(29m 53s) Chelsea:

I’m actually not. Every Wednesday, I post, it is Wednesday, my dudes. And only a few people know

(29m 56s) Kevin:

I mean, it’s frog.

(30m 2s) Chelsea:

what that is. It’s a huge vine thing. And it turned into this internet meme with frogs and

(30m 8s)

unfortunately, this game does not release on a Wednesday. It releases on a Thursday. I just

(30m 13s)

checked on my daughter’s birthday. But yeah, cottagecore frogs and every, yeah, frogs are

(30m 14s) Kevin:

Oh, oh.

(30m 23s) Chelsea:

just great. And if this is anything like Usagi Shima, then that’s perfect.

(30m 28s) Kevin:

Yeah, which I don’t know.

(30m 30s)

It feels like it.

(30m 30s)

There’s some stuff going on.

(30m 32s)

There’s a rhythm part in there.

(30m 33s)

I don’t know what’s going on there, but it’s Frog Island.

(30m 34s) Chelsea:

Oh my goodness, the bus.

(30m 37s) Kevin:

Like that title, I think, says it very clearly.

(30m 37s) Chelsea:

Frog?

(30m 41s) Kevin:

All right.

(30m 41s)

And that is against August 20th.

(30m 44s)

That’s soon.

(30m 45s) Chelsea:

Yep.

(30m 45s) Kevin:

Wait, is that out?

(30m 47s)

No, Thursday.

(30m 47s)

It’s like the day after this comes out.

(30m 49s)

Yeah, yeah.

(30m 49s) Chelsea:

Yep, one day after.

(30m 49s) Kevin:

Okay.

(30m 50s)

Gosh, it’s already the 20th.

(30m 51s)

Oh, my gosh.

(30m 52s)

August is going by too fast now.

Tiny Eden

(30m 56s) Kevin:

Next up, September 7th.

(30m 58s)

Tiny Eden has announced their release date.

(31m 2s)

That’s the one where you’re in an apartment.

(31m 5s)

A small, one-bedroom apartment.

(31m 9s)

And you’re growing, farming, and gardening.

(31m 12s)

Not farming, gardening, I guess.

(31m 13s)

Windowsill gardening.

(31m 16s)

Yeah, that’s…

(31m 18s)

You know, I will, again, applaud them for doing a different sort of setting.

(31m 22s)

It’s not the big, expansive farm.

(31m 24s) Chelsea:

No, it’s cute, and there’s a cat in the trailer thumbnail, so…

(31m 25s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(31m 26s)

Yeah.

(31m 28s)

Yeah, it is a good cat.

(31m 30s)

I don’t see the cat in the game, though.

(31m 31s)

That’s an issue if it’s not.

(31m 35s)

All right, that’s September 7th.

Ova Magica

(31m 39s) Kevin:

Okay, Ova Magica console releases coming out September 8th.

(31m 46s)

That’s where we got slimes of all kinds, little round dudes.

(31m 51s)

I mean, this one’s already been out on stage.

(31m 51s) Chelsea:

Oh, everyone’s round. Why is everyone so round?

(31m 54s) Kevin:

Yeah, because that’s Ova Magica.

(31m 56s)

It’s slime rain

(31m 58s)

Sure, but not

(31m 59s)

More emphasis on the ranching

(32m 2s)

Yeah, it is very cute

(32m 5s)

I haven’t played it, but it’s one of the ones I’ve wanted to

(32m 7s)

Very exciting

(32m 8s)

It’s going to be on consoles

(32m 9s)

What consoles is that?

(32m 12s)

I’m assuming just all of them

(32m 13s)

Yeah, it’s all of them

(32m 14s) Chelsea:

Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, yeah.

(32m 18s) Kevin:

Alright

(32m 19s) Chelsea:

Oh, sorry.

(32m 19s) Kevin:

There you go

(32m 20s) Chelsea:

Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation, and Xbox.

(32m 23s)

Yes.

(32m 23s) Kevin:

Oh, and retail

(32m 24s) Chelsea:

And physical editions will be shipped to all backers.

(32m 27s)

Cool.

(32m 28s) Kevin:

Good for them

(32m 28s) Chelsea:

Yeah.

(32m 28s) Kevin:

Alright, next up

Kynseed

(32m 32s) Kevin:

Another console release

(32m 34s)

Kynseed

(32m 35s)

Let’s see, which one is this one?

(32m 38s)

I don’t have to

(32m 38s)

Oh man, I love this

(32m 44s)

Art style, I forgot about this one

(32m 45s)

Yeah, I remember now

(32m 46s)

It’s 2D pixel art, but it’s very

(32m 50s)

Detailed, very lush art style

(32m 52s)

There’s some wild

(32m 54s)

Almost cartoony character designs

(32m 56s)

in there, which I kind of love.

(32m 58s)

Oh, it’s got like a interesting battle system.

(33m 3s)

Got like three guys.

(33m 5s)

It’s like four on four.

(33m 6s)

Yeah, I can see.

(33m 7s)

Yeah, that one’s it’s caught my eye.

(33m 9s)

The fact that it’s coming out on consoles will help now.

(33m 13s)

Oh, wait, that’s already up now.

(33m 14s) Chelsea:

out now 20 off steam though as of today so it’s 3255

(33m 14s) Kevin:

I missed it.

(33m 16s)

Well, up, up, up, up, up, up.

(33m 17s)

That’s exciting.

(33m 20s)

Oh, oh, that.

(33m 21s)

Hmm.

(33m 22s)

Cool.

(33m 26s)

That’s.

(33m 28s)

Yeah, it’s hard to argue that it doesn’t count, but if not, you can wait for.

(33m 33s)

Oh, switch or consoles, all that stuff.

(33m 37s)

I mean, it’s out.

(33m 38s)

Anyways, sorry.

(33m 39s)

I mean, I lost because I got confused for a second is next up Village in the Shade, which

Village In The Shade

(33m 43s) Kevin:

we talked about, but it’s coming out in English.

(33m 48s) Chelsea:

Yes, you cannot change your display language.

(33m 48s) Kevin:

There’s an official.

(33m 51s)

Yeah, that that sounds important.

(33m 54s)

Al’s note is correct.

(33m 55s)

Changing language is complicated.

(33m 58s)

Especially when you’re going to English.

(34m 1s)

Um, but the official patch for English, French and Spanish will launch on Tuesday, October

(34m 8s)

(34m 10s)

Um, so it’s going to be a minute, but, uh, I’ll wait for that, I guess.

(34m 14s)

I didn’t realize it was not out in English.

(34m 16s)

Um, but that’s fine.

(34m 18s)

Um, that’s close enough to Halloween.

(34m 20s)

They should have just done, waited a few days just for the bit, but say love me.

(34m 23s) Chelsea:

Oh, yeah.

(34m 24s) Kevin:

Oh, okay.

(34m 25s) Chelsea:

Maybe I’ll take a plunge.

(34m 27s)

I’m not a huge horror person in general.

(34m 28s) Kevin:

I mean, I’m not either, but, uh, I like horror when they mix it with something else, um, especially

(34m 31s) Chelsea:

But, like…

(34m 36s) Kevin:

comedy.

(34m 37s)

Um, uh, and so that’s why I’m looking at this.

(34m 41s)

I’m intrigued because there is still clearly a cutesy, like farming game in there and looks

(34m 48s)

solid.

(34m 49s)

The art style looks great.

(34m 50s)

Um, um, but then, yeah, they, they lean hard into the horn.

(34m 55s)

I’m curious how those two will play.

(34m 58s)

So, yeah, October, I’ll be waiting for that.

(35m 1s)

Will it be that?

(35m 2s)

That is not enough time to do an episode for Halloween, though, sadly.

(35m 6s) Chelsea:

No!

(35m 9s) Kevin:

I digress.

(35m 10s)

But either way, it will be covered probably one day, maybe.

Game Updates

(35m 13s) Kevin:

But, OK, that’s all the game dates and release dates and all that stuff coming out.

(35m 20s)

There’s a lot of them, a lot of good ones, actually.

(35m 22s)

Pretty good, healthy roster, I will say.

(35m 25s)

Let’s talk about stuff that is out.

(35m 28s)

game updates starting with

Pokopia

(35m 29s) Kevin:

Pocopia. Did you hear that the DLC

(35m 31s)

that the

(35m 34s)

game update, the free game

(35m 36s)

update is out and that the paid DLC

(35m 38s)

expansion is out. It’s all out now.

(35m 41s)

Yeah.

(35m 42s)

Again, I’ll be doing a full and

(35m 43s)

death episode.

(35m 45s)

I do think some

(35m 47s)

of these free stuff is nice.

(35m 50s)

Obviously, the underwater

(35m 51s)

mechanics do apply

(35m 53s)

to free players, not just

(35m 55s)

the DLC. But also, they’ve done

(35m 58s)

like I mentioned, the trash can.

(35m 59s)

There’s a fun one they snuck in there called

(36m 1s)

the Portal Pod.

(36m 4s)

As I’ve

(36m 5s)

discussed before, it has a

(36m 7s)

Pocopia. It basically has the Minecraft system where

(36m 9s)

every storage

(36m 11s)

chest or whatever is

(36m 13s)

just independent.

(36m 15s)

If you want to find something stored

(36m 17s)

in a certain box, you have to travel to that location.

(36m 21s)

Which,

(36m 22s)

with living screens,

(36m 23s)

I can see a little people a little bothered by it.

(36m 26s)

I get it. Portal Pod

(36m 28s)

is the way to go around

(36m 29s)

that. You can now set up a

(36m 31s)

connected storage box between

(36m 34s)

areas called the Portal Pod,

(36m 36s)

which is very helpful.

(36m 37s) Chelsea:

Okay, well, Tandy, at least.

(36m 39s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(36m 39s)

I haven’t used it because I’m not weak.

(36m 41s)

I’m kidding.

(36m 43s) Chelsea:

Oh!

(36m 43s) Kevin:

No, it’s fine.

(36m 45s) Chelsea:

The fake fan.

(36m 49s) Kevin:

I get where people want it.

(36m 50s)

It’s good.

(36m 51s)

Just throw it up in your house.

(36m 53s)

Like my brother Calvin already

(36m 54s)

using it.

(36m 55s)

He’s basically all his

(36m 56s)

materials that he would

(36m 58s)

carry on for his person.

(36m 59s)

Now he just stores it in there,

(37m)

which makes sense.

(37m 2s)

Yeah.

(37m 2s)

But yeah, Pocopia.

(37m 3s)

It’s out.

(37m 4s)

And there’s

(37m 5s)

the floating blocks

(37m 7s)

is another cool one.

(37m 9s)

I think

(37m 10s)

it’s part of the

(37m 11s)

paid DLC,

(37m 12s)

but you can build

(37m 12s)

structures kind of

(37m 14s)

floating in

(37m 15s)

in the water

(37m 15s)

environments.

(37m 16s)

I’m interested to see

(37m 17s)

if they’ll

(37m 18s)

expand that to

(37m 20s)

the

(37m 21s)

non-water

(37m 22s)

environments,

(37m 23s)

just have floating

(37m 24s)

structures.

(37m 24s)

You can kind of

(37m 25s) Chelsea:

Oh, that would be neat.

(37m 26s) Kevin:

do that now,

(37m 28s)

it requires some

(37m 29s)

effort,

(37m 30s)

but it would be

(37m 31s)

cool just to see

(37m 32s)

floating blocks,

(37m 33s)

floating structures.

(37m 34s) Chelsea:

I know, I’m getting major FOMO, not having it.

(37m 37s) Kevin:

Look,

(37m 38s)

look,

(37m 38s)

once Switch 2

(37m 39s)

with the Zelda

(37m 40s)

drops,

(37m 41s)

that’s your time

(37m 41s)

to get in,

(37m 44s) Chelsea:

Yeah, that’s totally my strategy.

(37m 46s)

I was just waiting for Zelda 2, for Zelda to drop.

(37m 49s) Kevin:

Yeah, well, there you go.

(37m 50s)

Yeah, Pocopia’s good.

(37m 51s)

And hey, there’ll be another surge

(37m 53s)

because this expansion pass is a three-parter.

(37m 56s)

The second one doesn’t sound that, yeah.

(37m 56s) Chelsea:

Oh, is that it?

(37m 58s) Kevin:

The second one doesn’t sound that big as of right now.

(38m 2s)

It’s not a new location.

(38m 3s)

But the third one will, I believe,

(38m 6s)

confirm to be another location.

(38m 8s)

So there’ll be another point

(38m 9s)

when there’ll be a little hype wave

(38m 10s)

and you can jump in.

(38m 12s) Chelsea:

Perfect.

(38m 12s) Kevin:

Yeah, but also it’s Pocopia

(38m 14s)

and it’s just eternally, I think so.

(38m 16s) Chelsea:

Well, that’s fair, yeah.

(38m 18s) Kevin:

Let’s see.

(38m 19s)

It’s out already.

Snacko

(38m 21s) Kevin:

Snacko, version 1.2.

(38m 26s)

Better heart events, more dialogue flair,

(38m 29s)

better stability.

(38m 30s)

These are all very good things.

(38m 33s)

Not requiring guessing for heart events.

(38m 35s)

That’s on where and when.

(38m 37s)

Wait, what?

(38m 37s)

That was, that’s while that was existed.

(38m 41s)

Yeah, it should be very clear

(38m 43s)

like when you’re going to do that.

(38m 44s)

That seems very important.

(38m 46s)

But the dialogue flair, that’s, man,

(38m 48s)

ever see that where they

(38m 49s)

like improving the dialogue

(38m 50s)

that’s great yeah that’s

(38m 54s)

fantastic yeah and

(38m 56s)

stability I mean yeah

(38m 57s)

needless to say stability

(38m 58s)

is always better but well

(38m 59s)

yeah I mean snack oh it’s

(39m)

the game where you’re the

(39m 1s)

cat and very cute and

(39m 3s)

whatnot there’s on the

(39m 7s)

Steam page they go in

(39m 8s)

depth of all the details of

(39m 10s)

these updates but that’s a

(39m 12s)

pretty solid patch overall

(39m 13s)

yeah good stuff mm-hmm

(39m 15s) Chelsea:

No, I like their transparency, too, with all that.

(39m 19s)

No, that’s good.

(39m 19s) Kevin:

good good job snack oh

(39m 20s)

next up to celebrate Codey

(39m 24s)

graduating research to

(39m 25s)

decide to release a patch

(39m 29s)

version also 1.2 strangely

(39m 32s)

enough we have a research

(39m 34s)

story adding two new

(39m 38s)

look I can love

(39m 42s)

capybaras don’t get me

(39m 43s)

wrong I’m just it’s so

(39m 45s)

ubiquitous it feels like I

(39m 47s)

don’t know what it is in

(39m 49s)

flashcore games but uh

(39m 50s)

capy bearers added to

(39m 52s)

research story now I will

(39m 53s)

say they’re usually not

(39m 55s)

rideable but they’re

(39m 57s)

rideable here I don’t

(39m 58s)

think that logistically

(39m 59s)

works in the real life

(40m 1s)

capybaras are not that

(40m 2s)

big but uh you you do you

(40m 4s)

I guess research story

(40m 5s) Chelsea:

use your imagination first of all they call it the clay pea bara

(40m 5s) Kevin:

or is it the clappy or oh

(40m 12s)

it is clappy bara yeah

(40m 13s)

there’s a wine there yeah

(40m 13s) Chelsea:

yeah it looks like clay adorable

(40m 15s) Kevin:

you’re right um it is and

(40m 18s)

then there’s the mossy

(40m 19s)

what I don’t know what I’m

(40m 20s)

about that I’m all right um it

(40m 22s)

it relaxes in the hot spring

(40m 24s)

yeah that’s cool I like I

(40m 25s) Chelsea:

Oh my gosh.

(40m 27s)

I love it.

(40m 27s) Kevin:

yeah capybaras are cute I’ve

(40m 30s)

never seen one in real life but

(40m 31s) Chelsea:

No?

(40m 31s) Kevin:

yeah I can’t think unless at a

(40m 33s)

zoo maybe I can’t think off the

(40m 34s) Chelsea:

They’re just chilling.

(40m 35s) Kevin:

top of my head yeah that’s

(40m 36s) Chelsea:

They chill.

(40m 37s) Kevin:

probably why they’re in these

(40m 38s)

all these cottagecore games

(40m 41s)

aside from the the the happy we

(40m 43s)

got uh all sorts of new six new

(40m 47s)

farm buildings for automation

(40m 49s)

as we do

(40m 51s)

in farming games

(40m 52s)

let’s see there’s this clay silo

(40m 55s)

that refills auto feeders

(40m 57s)

it automatically refills

(40m 59s)

auto feeders that’s okay

(41m 1s)

that’s automating your

(41m 3s)

automation that’s cool

(41m 4s)

question I was always happy

(41m 5s) Chelsea:

How far can we go?

(41m 11s) Kevin:

to explore

(41m 11s)

let’s see creature enhancement areas

(41m 15s)

oh this is cool

(41m 17s)

that kind of auto-maintains creativity.

(41m 19s)

Jupiter happiness, different little environments for them.

(41m 22s)

I like that, actually.

(41m 25s)

And then a magical spa late-game building

(41m 27s)

that gives a passive daily happiness bonus.

(41m 30s)

That sounds all right.

(41m 31s)

I could use a spa.

(41m 35s)

They also have advanced soils and silt.

(41m 39s)

I think that’s actually cool.

(41m 41s)

Anything that makes farming a little more day

(41m 43s)

and I make more knobs, you can turn.

(41m 45s)

I like that a lot, actually.

(41m 47s)

And then they’ve introduced

(41m 49s)

Relaxed Game Mode

(41m 51s)

Permanent Fast Travel

(41m 52s)

Wait, there was not permanent before?

(41m 54s)

Oh, that’s cool

(41m 55s)

But anyway, so yeah

(41m 56s)

Lower the stress

(41m 57s)

Make things more convenient

(41m 58s)

Quality of life

(41m 59s)

All that good stuff

(42m)

Looks like they’re doing a lot of it

(42m 2s)

And it’s also launching on Nintendo Switch

(42m 6s)

On August 27th

(42m 8s) Chelsea:

Oh, it’s coming up.

(42m 8s) Kevin:

That’s exciting

(42m 9s)

Yep, that’s all on Steam page

(42m 12s)

That’s pretty hefty

(42m 13s)

That’s a good one, research story

(42m 14s)

Good on you

(42m 15s)

So that’s good stuff

(42m 16s)

Wait, is that going to

(42m 18s)

Nintendo Switch is going to release

(42m 19s)

I’m going to assume it’s releasing

(42m 20s)

With all that stuff

(42m 21s)

I believe it is

(42m 23s)

Okay, moving on

Disney Dreamlight Valley

(42m 24s) Kevin:

Disney Dreamlight Valley

(42m 27s)

Who is it this time?

(42m 29s)

Okay, this one I’m actually not shocked

(42m 30s)

That he wasn’t in already

(42m 32s)

But good old Wreck-It Ralph

(42m 34s) Chelsea:

Wreck it, Ralph.

(42m 34s) Kevin:

The big man himself

(42m 38s)

Is in there

(42m 41s)

And of course, you know this means

(42m 42s)

No, they will not be addressing

(42m 44s)

(43m 8s) Chelsea:

Yeah, it is really good.

(43m 9s)

When my daughter broke her leg, that’s like all she, that’s all she wanted to watch.

(43m 13s) Kevin:

Oh, that’s, oh, well, I’m glad it helped us.

(43m 14s) Chelsea:

Got us through the tough days.

(43m 22s) Kevin:

That was a good one.

(43m 24s)

Let’s see.

(43m 25s)

What is, they also mentioned best friends.

(43m 27s)

What is best friends?

(43m 29s)

Strengthen your bonds of your favorite villagers to unlock special perks, bonuses, and exciting

(43m 33s)

ways to spend time together throughout the valley.

(43m 37s)

Well, there’s a whole blog thing.

(43m 38s)

I won’t get too in depth with that, but that’s, that’s interesting.

(43m 43s)

Wreck-a-Roth, good to pick.

(43m 46s)

Yeah.

(43m 46s)

Oh, God.

(43m 47s)

Let’s see here.

Luma Island

(43m 48s) Kevin:

Next up.

(43m 49s)

Wait, what on earth?

(43m 51s)

I didn’t, I didn’t catch.

(43m 52s)

Oh, my gosh.

(43m 54s)

Luma Island.

(43m 56s)

I love unexpected crossovers.

(43m 56s) Chelsea:

Heck yeah.

(43m 58s)

What on earth?

(44m 1s)

Look at that.

(44m 1s) Kevin:

We’re getting a big free summertime update on Luma Island.

(44m 7s)

And, you know, there’s a whole bunch of cosmetics and, and all sorts of stuff.

(44m 13s)

Beach parties.

(44m 14s)

Um, but, uh, who, who do we call when we really want that summer vibe going?

(44m 22s)

None other than Dave the Diver.

(44m 26s) Chelsea:

the dave the dave name a more iconic collab

(44m 31s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(44m 32s)

Yeah.

(44m 33s)

He’s, he’s, he’s been to Nikkei.

(44m 35s)

He’s, he’s hung out with Godzilla and, and, and Yakuza, and now heading down to Luma Island.

(44m 42s)

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

(44m 43s)

Um, help him get home, help him fish stuff.

(44m 47s)

It’s Dave the Diver.

(44m 48s)

Just, just hanging out.

(44m 50s)

Um, he’s on, he needs a vacation.

(44m 51s) Chelsea:

He’s on vacation.

(44m 54s) Kevin:

Poor Dave.

(44m 55s)

He works too hard.

(44m 56s) Chelsea:

Give him a break.

(44m 56s) Kevin:

Ha, ha, ha.

(44m 57s)

Did you play Dave the Diver?

(44m 59s) Chelsea:

Uh, it’s on my playlist.

(45m 1s) Kevin:

Okay.

(45m 1s)

That’s a good one.

(45m 2s)

Um, good stuff.

(45m 3s) Chelsea:

Yeah.

(45m 4s) Kevin:

Luma, that, oh, okay.

(45m 6s) Chelsea:

That took you off guard.

(45m 7s) Kevin:

Yeah, it did.

(45m 8s)

Um, man, there’s a whole thing.

(45m 11s)

There’s a lot of weird, unexpected.

(45m 13s)

Unexpected crossover is going on right now, but, oh, that’s a separate topic.

(45m 19s)

Anyways, back on topic.

(45m 21s)

Next up, we have Traveler’s Rest, our, our, uh, good old tavern, uh, quote unquote simulator,

Travellers Rest

(45m 29s) Kevin:

but you’re doing everything else.

(45m 30s)

Um, we have rum and runes update.

(45m 34s)

Why did you, you’re literally a tavern.

(45m 36s)

Why did you not have rum before?

(45m 39s)

I do enjoy rum.

(45m 40s)

Probably one of my favorite alcohols.

(45m 43s)

I like a coconut run that’s it’s kind of my go to I don’t know what else to get but anyways

(45m 49s)

um uh so yeah there’s there’s but the rune part is probably more interesting because they got

(45m 54s)

arcane arts um and there is uh the hollow a new city area dark suburb where shady deals and it’s

(46m 3s)

the dark web but real basically um yeah that that’s cool that’s actually kind of cool little

(46m 8s)

dark shady area new spells grimoires etc etc all right

(46m 13s)

arcane stuff yeah no it’s it’s gotten places it’s taken a while um but traveler’s rest looks

(46m 14s) Chelsea:

Oh, how would I play this?

(46m 23s) Kevin:

all right actually um it’s still early access but uh you know they’re hey they’re still working on

(46m 30s)

it I’ll give them that it’s been a while but they’re working on it um uh yeah one at a time

(46m 35s) Chelsea:

One day at a time.

(46m 37s) Kevin:

so wait did we get a date for that

(46m 40s) Chelsea:

Oh.

(46m 44s)

I don’t see an update.

(46m 45s) Kevin:

I i didn’t either yeah I didn’t either um wait did luma island have an update when did dave come

(46m 45s) Chelsea:

Like, I don’t see a date.

(46m 51s) Kevin:

yeah oh no it’s it’s available luma island is available and I forgot to say that but uh

(46m 55s) Chelsea:

You’re doing that right when we’re done this.

(46m 55s) Kevin:

you probably um oh that’s that’s tempting but maybe

(46m 59s) Chelsea:

Or I don’t know if I couldn’t do your Yu-Gi-Oh time.

(47m) Kevin:

well yeah actually no the other stuff is stuff that’s out I think

(47m 5s)

isn’t that yeah game updates yeah um anyway sorry let’s see here next up we have uh apico

APICO

(47m 11s) Kevin:

Bugle Month continues

(47m 13s)

actually surprised because

(47m 15s)

they’re fixing

(47m 16s) Chelsea:

Round two!

(47m 18s) Kevin:

bugs although

(47m 20s)

one would argue they’re

(47m 22s)

already peak how could you improve

(47m 24s)

them

(47m 24s)

yeah

(47m 27s)

but yeah now there’s a whole bunch of technical

(47m 30s)

and in diff

(47m 32s)

bugs and quality of life stuff

(47m 34s)

go check it out

(47m 35s)

it’s live

(47m 37s)

let’s see here

(47m 39s)

next up we have

Bitter Harvest

(47m 41s) Kevin:

Bitter Harvest is already at 1.5

(47m 44s)

That’s the game. I’m just

(47m 45s)

shocked. It’s that

(47m 47s)

far in because that did not feel like that long ago

(47m 48s) Chelsea:

That’s pretty quick already.

(47m 49s) Kevin:

it came out. Yeah.

(47m 52s)

Wait, what do you mean full

(47m 53s)

home decoration? I feel like that should have

(47m 55s)

already been in there, but that’s fine. Chairs

(47m 57s)

and couches,

(47m 58s)

beds, tables. That’s a lot of

(48m 1s)

items that they’re adding. That’s good.

(48m 3s) Chelsea:

I feel like that might be a day one thing you’d think

(48m 3s) Kevin:

Deeper.

(48m 4s) Chelsea:

though, right? Like, I don’t know.

(48m 6s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(48m 7s)

Yeah, you, well,

(48m 9s)

that’s pottage, Cor.

(48m 10s) Chelsea:

Those premium, yeah, no,

(48m 11s) Kevin:

You’d think.

(48m 12s) Chelsea:

the furniture expansion pack.

(48m 13s) Kevin:

Where?

(48m 15s)

Or another way. Where is the

(48m 17s)

real 1.0?

(48m 20s)

Either way, you want to look

(48m 21s)

at that. Yes.

(48m 23s)

That says cottage, Cor.

(48m 25s)

Yeah, and deeper minds.

(48m 27s)

That’s fine, I guess. I haven’t played

(48m 29s)

Bitter Harvest, I don’t know.

(48m 31s)

Out now.

Cozy Caravan

(48m 34s) Kevin:

Probably winning

(48m 35s)

the award for the best

(48m 37s)

update name because it’s

(48m 39s)

sheer brilliance, but sheer

(48m 41s)

as in cheering sheep.

(48m 44s) Chelsea:

yeah I have this game I started it and man it’s so cute and wholesome like there’s no

(48m 51s)

there’s no direction you need to go you’re just going based on vibes

(48m 55s)

it’s great you drive an enormous b bug month continued

(48m 56s) Kevin:

It is very cute

(48m 59s) Chelsea:

um oh my god it’s really really cute and I like I love the update name

(49m 5s) Kevin:

I’m kind of shocked that horses and sheep

(49m 9s)

weren’t already in it

(49m 10s)

I love sheep

(49m 13s)

How do they have axolotls before sheep?

(49m 18s)

That’s wild

(49m 18s)

And platypus

(49m 21s) Chelsea:

and platypus

(49m 24s) Kevin:

I love platypi

(49m 24s) Chelsea:

why i’m playing this lame i’m playing as i’m just my character is a teddy bear

(49m 26s) Kevin:

Oh, that’s…

(49m 28s) Chelsea:

like I tried at the cost customization and I just could not pick so I said you know what

(49m 32s)

for this one i’ll just do teddy bear it is so cute

(49m 35s) Kevin:

That’s a safe bet.

(49m 37s)

I do love bears.

(49m 38s)

Yeah.

(49m 40s)

They’re adding physics, some character dynamics,

(49m 43s)

flopping ears and wiggling tails and all that,

(49m 46s)

and a whole bunch of other bug fixes and improvements, et cetera, et cetera.

(49m 52s)

Yeah, Posey Caravan.

(49m 53s)

Good for you.

(49m 53s)

That’s a fun little update there.

(49m 57s)

New animals are hype.

Little Witch In The Woods

(49m 59s) Kevin:

Next up, we have Little Witch in the Woods.

(50m 5s)

Is the first page a new update?

(50m 7s)

This is kind of a wild one.

(50m 9s)

They’re revamping the prologue and the opening of the game.

(50m 15s)

I mean, that’s cool if it needed to be reworked.

(50m 18s)

It’s like, how do you deliver that to existing players?

(50m 20s)

And they talk about it in the Steam post.

(50m 21s) Chelsea:

Well, this is here. Starting a new game will allow you to experience a new opening and prologue. Loading an existing prologue save will play a partially updated version of the original prologue. A guide pop up will appear when loading an existing prologue save. Interesting. So you can still kind of see it if you don’t want to start your whole game over again.

(50m 39s) Kevin:

yeah that which is interesting um that’s a weird challenge to have to deal with but uh but uh I mean

(50m 48s)

hey they improved it good for them I guess yeah it’s a little witch in the woods um that is out

(50m 54s)

now already um

(50m 56s)

yeah I think it’s out

(50m 58s) Chelsea:

Oh, there’s a lot on this update.

(51m)

Yeah, I think it’s already…

(51m 2s)

It’s ready, yeah.

(51m 2s) Kevin:

oh oh yeah I mean it sounds like a good time to get in with it better

(51m 3s) Chelsea:

This kind of piqued my interest.

(51m 9s) Kevin:

opening so why not um I love their little art on the the like the update the image um it’s very cute

(51m 17s)

I i don’t know if the game is that cute though but um anyways whoa first we saw the next

(51m 24s)

hello okay

(51m 26s) Chelsea:

Hello, look at that.

(51m 26s) Kevin:

tales of secu um shrine of love update uh it’s it’s live um it just came out but it’s already live

Tales Of Seikyu

(51m 38s) Kevin:

Okay, so there’s a stratagem.

(51m 39s)

The Inari Shrine, where you can…

(51m 43s)

Here, I’m just going to read it.

(51m 44s)

I like how they did this language.

(51m 47s)

Visit the Inari Shrine to weave the threads of fate

(51m 50s)

and adjust your relationships with Sekiyu’s romance-able villagers.

(51m 54s)

You will now be able to use the Inari Shrine

(51m 56s)

to break up with a partner you’re romantically committed to,

(51m 58s)

get divorced, and even pursue romance with villagers

(52m 1s)

you’ve previously rejected.

(52m 2s)

Just make sure you’ve got the right offerings at hand.

(52m 7s) Chelsea:

is divorce a common like is that kind of a that’s not really a mechanic in other games is it

(52m 7s) Kevin:

Kind of like…

(52m 9s)

It’s getting there, I would say.

(52m 14s)

I think it’s…

(52m 16s)

If it’s not there at launch, it’s usually added in later.

(52m 21s)

Yeah, I mean, Stardew did it, and everyone kind of followed suit,

(52m 24s)

I would say.

(52m 25s)

But managing it all at Shrine is kind of interesting

(52m 28s)

and kind of a fun way to handle it.

(52m 32s)

And, you know, use resources to manage your relationships.

(52m 38s)

If only…

(52m 39s)

We’re that easy.

(52m 41s)

IRL, but alas.

(52m 43s)

That’s why this game’s magical.

(52m 46s)

But now you can spend the night with your spouse,

(52m 50s)

which, you know, I’ll say,

(52m 52s)

I don’t think I’ve seen another game do.

(52m 55s)

You can spend the night with your spouse

(52m 58s)

when you interact in the marital bed.

(53m 1s)

You cuddle up and, you know,

(53m 3s)

there’s nothing, it’s nothing risque or whatever,

(53m 6s)

but you’re lying down in bed with your partner

(53m 8s)

are injured.

(53m 9s)

I guess kind of somewhat underwear-ish look.

(53m 14s)

That’s probably the boldest.

(53m 15s) Chelsea:

well obviously they’re just playing tic-tac-toe like what else do you do in bed with your spouse

(53m 18s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(53m 20s)

Exactly.

(53m 22s)

Exactly.

(53m 23s)

I don’t think I’ve seen any other game we’ve covered on this podcast, Tackle That.

(53m 31s)

So that’s, you know what?

(53m 32s)

All right.

(53m 32s)

Why not?

(53m 33s)

That’s one way to differentiate yourself.

(53m 36s)

I am not fair to say

(53m 39s)

you continues to impress and

(53m 41s)

terrify me a little bit

(53m 42s)

um but

(53m 44s) Chelsea:

Okay, I love the next bullet point.

(53m 45s) Kevin:

okay and see this is where we go

(53m 46s) Chelsea:

Yo-kai scarecrow improvements.

(53m 51s) Kevin:

right back to improving to amazing

(53m 53s)

me because you got a little yokai

(53m 55s)

scarecrow hopping around um

(53m 57s)

and they help fertilize

(53m 59s)

and grow crops and

(54m)

that looks pretty cool I’m not gonna

(54m 3s)

like um little

(54m 5s)

dude just hopping around I like it

(54m 7s)

crafting from chest they didn’t have that before

(54m 9s)

oh my goodness um

(54m 11s)

sorry I’m just looking there’s a lot of

(54m 13s) Chelsea:

So you had to have it right in your inventory before?

(54m 13s) Kevin:

things in this update

(54m 14s)

I’m guessing so yes

(54m 17s)

um and there’s quick transfer

(54m 19s)

from store oh they didn’t have quick transfer oh come

(54m 21s)

on guys come on

(54m 23s)

um I digress

(54m 25s)

uh rename your heart farm

(54m 27s)

uh change your body type

(54m 29s)

that’s

(54m 31s)

cool

(54m 32s)

oh it looks like they

(54m 35s)

now basically you can customize everything

(54m 37s)

you couldn’t before, including your

(54m 39s)

body type, but you can do that whenever

(54m 41s)

now, so that’s nice. Very interesting

(54m 43s)

updates, very cool. Holy

Paleo Pines

(54m 45s) Kevin:

moly, next one, shocking

(54m 47s)

me even more.

(54m 49s) Chelsea:

we made this episode just for you

(54m 49s) Kevin:

It’s the year’s 2026,

(54m 52s) Chelsea:

just for Kevin

(54m 53s) Kevin:

and

(54m 53s)

Paleo Pines is getting an

(54m 53s) Chelsea:

heck yeah

(54m 55s) Kevin:

update.

(54m 57s) Chelsea:

player’s choice kickstarter

(55m) Kevin:

What?

(55m 1s)

The Kickstarter people got to help design colors?

(55m 3s)

That’s so cool.

(55m 5s)

Oh, they finally have decks for

(55m 7s)

all those colors and

(55m 9s)

skins.

(55m 11s)

The Dino

(55m 13s)

decks, basically, now with the colors, and you can

(55m 15s)

track them. That’s really

(55m 17s)

helpful, because that was probably one of the big

(55m 19s)

differentiators. It wasn’t a huge Dino

(55m 21s)

decks to begin with, but you could get

(55m 23s)

so many different colors and variations.

(55m 26s)

Oh, what? They have saddle

(55m 27s)

bags that can carry items?

(55m 29s)

Oh, my goodness.

(55m 32s) Chelsea:

No, most important, small dinos can now be assigned to composters to pick up poop for you.

(55m 37s) Kevin:

That’s pretty good.

(55m 38s) Chelsea:

Don’t put that in the fine print.

(55m 39s) Kevin:

That’s pretty good.

(55m 40s) Chelsea:

That needs to be front and center.

(55m 41s) Kevin:

yeah that was kind of a big

(55m 44s)

tour too actually that’s kind of a

(55m 45s) Chelsea:

That’s really good.

(55m 46s) Kevin:

big deal

(55m 46s)

yeah because you had to maintain

(55m 50s)

the pens and that took

(55m 52s)

work so you know

(55m 54s)

that took time that’s pretty good

(55m 55s)

man these small

(55m 58s)

dinos doing a lot they can find wild

(56m)

collectibles and carry them for you oh my goodness

(56m 2s)

new crops

(56m 3s)

this is massive

(56m 5s)

holy moly recipes

(56m 7s)

some decor

(56m 9s)

items, yada, yada, yada.

(56m 12s)

A compass item.

(56m 16s)

What? To help you find some?

(56m 17s)

That’s fantastic. Sometimes the map

(56m 19s)

was a little confusing.

(56m 21s)

Auto sort the inventory with a button.

(56m 24s)

Skip to the next time of day.

(56m 25s)

Oh my goodness, this is a lot.

(56m 27s)

Wow, it’s going down the list here.

(56m 29s)

That’s pretty cool.

(56m 30s)

Yeah, I love Paleo Pines, of course.

(56m 34s)

That’s a big update.

(56m 35s)

That’s almost enough to get…

(56m 37s)

That might get me back in. I never actually finished that game.

(56m 41s)

Yeah, no, that’s a recommend.

(56m 43s)

It had its issues, but a lot of those issues

(56m 44s)

are being addressed here.

(56m 46s) Chelsea:

Seems like it.

(56m 47s)

Yeah, it seems like a good time to get started.

(56m 48s) Kevin:

Yeah, Paleo Pines.

(56m 49s)

Good for you. I didn’t know they were still going.

(56m 50s) Chelsea:

Maybe I’ll do that.

(56m 51s) Kevin:

Dang.

(56m 52s) Chelsea:

Oh, is it only PC?

(56m 53s) Kevin:

I don’t know.

(56m 56s) Chelsea:

I don’t know.

(56m 57s)

Let’s see.

(56m 57s) Kevin:

I don’t think so.

(56m 59s)

Let me see.

(57m 1s) Chelsea:

Oh, no.

(57m 2s)

Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One.

(57m 3s) Kevin:

Yeah, okay.

(57m 5s)

Yeah, it’s on there.

(57m 6s) Chelsea:

X and X.

(57m 6s)

Oh, it’s older.

(57m 7s)

It’s 2023.

(57m 8s) Kevin:

Yeah, no, that’s why I’m shocked.

(57m 9s) Chelsea:

Oh, I’m behind.

(57m 10s) Kevin:

Yeah.

(57m 10s) Chelsea:

I’m behind on the times here.

(57m 11s) Kevin:

Yeah, no.

(57m 13s) Chelsea:

I thought it was a newer game.

(57m 14s) Kevin:

Oh, no, no.

(57m 15s)

This is a while ago.

(57m 16s)

It was, I believe, it was our game of the year that year, actually.

(57m 19s)

Was it?

(57m 19s)

No, I can’t remember.

(57m 21s)

No, was that the year Sock?

(57m 22s)

I’m not singing that.

(57m 24s)

Manico won.

(57m 25s)

I don’t remember, regardless.

(57m 26s)

I think it was the year Manico won.

(57m 27s) Chelsea:

Okay.

(57m 27s) Kevin:

Anyways, yeah, that was a while ago.

(57m 29s)

That’s what I’m shocked.

(57m 30s)

Like, we’ll update this late in the game.

(57m 30s) Chelsea:

Wow.

(57m 31s) Kevin:

Good for them.

(57m 32s) Chelsea:

That’s like when Animal Crossing just dropped a whole new thing with the hotel.

(57m 35s) Kevin:

Yeah, the Welcome Amiibo, oh my gosh, that was possibly one of the best updates.

(57m 41s)

It’s ever done in a video game.

(57m 42s)

That was incredible.

(57m 43s) Chelsea:

yeah by the way you can have a hotel now turn your game on it’s there

(57m 44s) Kevin:

They just shadow dropped it, too, basically.

(57m 50s)

Oh, yeah.

(57m 51s)

Yeah.

(57m 52s)

Yeah.

(57m 52s)

Good for you, Paleo Pines.

(57m 55s)

Yeah, that’s certainly getting me to turn it on.

Other News

(57m 57s) Kevin:

Okay, next up, last one, Stardew Valley, Nintendo Switch 2 Physical Edition, going to be through

Stardew Valley

(58m 6s) Kevin:

Fangamer, coming February 5th in 2027.

(58m 11s)

It’s going to take some time, I guess, but they got the Year Standard, they got the Deluxe

(58m 18s)

Edition, actually the Deluxe Edition, oh, no, the Deluxe might be sold out or not available,

(58m 21s)

I don’t know.

(58m 22s)

Yeah, Switch, Switch 2, it looks like it comes with a little instruction manual, that’s pretty

(58m 24s) Chelsea:

I miss when games always had the little manual with them.

(58m 27s) Kevin:

awesome.

(58m 31s)

Yeah, I do, too.

(58m 33s)

I got to say, Guardians Rune Factory, the Guardians of Awesome, I didn’t talk about that on the

(58m 38s)

episode but that game

(58m 40s)

actually came with an

(58m 41s)

manual my physical

(58m 42s)

edition which blew my

(58m 43s)

mind and it was like

(58m 45s) Chelsea:

Did it intimidate you a little bit like, oh, crap.

(58m 45s) Kevin:

no no it was like good

(58m 49s)

it was like it was

(58m 50s)

flavorful it was like

(58m 51s)

somebody’s journal and

(58m 54s)

had like told you

(58m 56s)

everything out like all

(58m 57s)

the mechanics and

(58m 57s)

characters and even had

(58m 59s)

the little space for

(59m)

notes in the back

(59m 1s)

yes exactly yeah no

(59m 2s) Chelsea:

oh I love when games did that like find your own discovery and put it in your little guide at the back

(59m 9s) Kevin:

azuma did killed it with

(59m 11s)

anyway so stardew valley

(59m 12s)

will probably be getting

(59m 13s)

that um this little

(59m 15s)

little indie game felt

(59m 16s)

started okay um so that

(59m 21s)

that was technically our

(59m 22s)

last one but I actually

(59m 25s)

just little little asterisk

(59m 26s)

a little side note here

(59m 28s)

um uh we missed it

(59m 30s)

because it came out

(59m 31s)

during bug month but

(59m 33s)

stardew valley actually

(59m 35s)

had a magic the gathering

(59m 37s)

collab um yep oh

(59m 39s) Chelsea:

no way

(59m 41s) Kevin:

uh are you familiar with

(59m 44s) Chelsea:

oh no I haven’t played magic in I don’t even know how long I was super into it and then they started

(59m 49s)

doing all these collabs with like lord of the rings and stuff but i’m like you know what

(59m 51s) Kevin:

yep yep

(59m 52s) Chelsea:

I don’t know if I can I might have to get back into it okay what’s the stardew one

(59m 53s) Kevin:

okay it’s it’s I mean it’s it’s no it’s really bad in in magic right now the collab stuff um

(1h 2s)

in in this year in 2026 or the last year I don’t remember they released more uh

(1h 7s) Chelsea:

My jellies.

(1h 7s) Kevin:

they released more non-magic stuff than magic stuff is wild um anyways um but then you get

(1h 16s)

sometimes you get one like this that just hits and it’s hard to argue that right

(1h 19s)

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

(1h 21s)

Um, uh, so yeah, okay, so Marvel, or Magic the Gathering does a, um, uh, do these releases

(1h 30s)

of products called Secret Layers.

(1h 32s)

Um, they are, uh, basically packs of six to seven-ish cards.

(1h 39s)

It’s not a full set release.

(1h 41s)

Um, it’s just a, a, a batch of cards.

(1h 45s)

Um, and sometimes they’ll release different batches at once, um, like for Star

(1h 51s)

Dew Valley, they released three or four different batches.

(1h 55s)

Um, they call it a super drop because they drop them all at once and you can pick which

(1h 59s)

ones you want or buy them all.

(1h 1m 1s)

Um, but, uh, basically a lot, most, the majority of the Stardew Valley and Secret Layers work

(1h 1m 6s)

like this, uh, Stardew Valley cards, they’re, uh, they’re re-skins or, or, or, or different

(1h 1m 11s)

artworks on existing card effects.

(1h 1m 15s)

Uh, Magic the Gathering is pricey in general.

(1h 1m 18s)

Secret Layers are no exception.

(1h 1m 20s)

Um, like,

(1h 1m 21s)

it was a hundred USD for buying everything, like, uh, and foil or whatever.

(1h 1m 26s)

Um, if I recall, Al did, in fact, acquire them or buy, purchase them.

(1h 1m 31s)

My brother, Calvin, also actually acquired them and foil.

(1h 1m 35s)

So, there you go, Al.

(1h 1m 36s) Chelsea:

Oh my goodness.

(1h 1m 36s) Kevin:

You, you, you didn’t, you didn’t best him.

(1h 1m 38s)

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

(1h 1m 40s)

Uh, he, he actually just got the cards this past week.

(1h 1m 42s)

Um, and I will say, like, they’re pretty good.

(1h 1m 46s)

Like, the art quality.

(1h 1m 47s) Chelsea:

Yeah, I’m looking at them now. That’s a cool, like, yeah.

(1h 1m 49s) Kevin:

Yeah, I

(1h 1m 51s)

The one that really

(1h 1m 53s)

Takes the cake is Stardew

(1h 1m 55s)

Valley, which is a card in itself

(1h 1m 57s)

It’s a land

(1h 1m 58s)

As it should be, has a special

(1h 2m 1s)

Effects, that one is a brand new

(1h 2m 3s)

Card design

(1h 2m 4s)

I mean, if you want, I don’t

(1h 2m 5s) Chelsea:

cute would you like me to read what it does okay i’m looking i’m just okay add one to the

(1h 2m 13s)

mana pool i’m assuming to have an untapped creature you control create a food token

(1h 2m 17s)

choose target permanent you control draw a card then another player of your choice may

(1h 2m 22s)

gain control of that permanent activate only as a sorcery interesting

(1h 2m 26s) Kevin:

that see that’s that’s kind of fun it’s like you’re selling something that’s what it is

(1h 2m 26s) Chelsea:

yeah like you could take my creature oh

(1h 2m 30s) Kevin:

like selling food or an animal that’s cute yeah that’s cute I like that we i’m i’m game for that

(1h 2m 35s) Chelsea:

we need to do a magic greenhouse

(1h 2m 36s)

I haven’t played I haven’t played since like innistrad I think was my last set which was like 2011

(1h 2m 39s) Kevin:

as well i’m not as well versed but uh oh I think they just went back to innistrad this year

(1h 2m 47s) Chelsea:

oh okay

(1h 2m 50s) Kevin:

actually yeah but um it’s coming I don’t know it’s relatively soon

(1h 2m 56s)

but uh yeah no that super drop came that magic set came out I uh yeah like I said the art a lot

(1h 3m 1s)

of the art was in fact done by concerned ape himself so it’s it’s pretty rad um and yeah

(1h 3m 10s)

calvin got it the cards look stardew valley itself looks pretty nice all night anyways but yeah I just

(1h 3m 16s)

one oh oh you have and felix the cat and the office

(1h 3m 16s) Chelsea:

There’s a Garfield one?!

(1h 3m 22s)

Hold on. I am so… what? Okay, I’m so… I’m so out of touch here.

(1h 3m 26s) Kevin:

yeah no that’s yeah I mean the hobbits out right now last year we had

(1h 3m 28s) Chelsea:

I’m so out. I’m kidding. I know. I’m weirded in, I’m not weirded out.

(1h 3m 34s)

Interesting. Wow, they’ve really been going at it.

(1h 3m 38s)

Garfield. Yeah, Felix the Cat. My Little Pony?!

(1h 3m 41s) Kevin:

oh yeah the see see because the secret layers aren’t full uh sets they can you know it’s just

(1h 3m 48s) Chelsea:

Okay, yeah, yeah.

(1h 3m 49s) Kevin:

five or six cards of whatever they want and oh they do a hatsune miku one like every year

(1h 3m 52s) Chelsea:

Hatsune Miku?

(1h 3m 56s) Kevin:

yeah the secret layers are wild what sucks about secret layers um they don’t they’re they’re

(1h 3m 56s) Chelsea:

Oh, okay, yeah.

(1h 3m 58s)

Wow, what the heck?

(1h 4m 6s) Kevin:

limited runs um so basically you have to be there on the release day in the morning at a certain time

(1h 4m 13s)

to to be able to get them or they’re gonna sell like concert tickets basically yeah so calvin like

(1h 4m 19s)

had to queue up for that um but uh but yeah no he got it and yeah no it’s it’s all over the place

(1h 4m 26s)

like I said we probably should do a greenhouse on or on marvel the gathering

(1h 4m 29s) Chelsea:

Yes. Wow. I’m so out of touch here. I’m looking here like Uncharted, Iron Maiden, Jaws. Oh, Burby. Do a new law. Okay. Wow. Okay. I’m glad. I’m glad I fell off of magic a little bit because I would be bankrupt.

(1h 4m 38s) Kevin:

Oh, yeah, I forgot about the jokes.

(1h 4m 42s)

That was…

(1h 4m 52s)

Oh, it’s bad.

(1h 4m 54s)

It’s very, very bad.

(1h 4m 56s)

Like the money and the wild Felix the Cat.

(1h 5m 1s)

That was something.

(1h 5m 2s)

Oh, my gosh.

(1h 5m 2s)

They’re doing a dwarf fortress one.

(1h 5m 4s)

That’s insane.

(1h 5m 6s)

Who knows?

(1h 5m 8s)

Maybe we’ll be able to get a secret lair one day

(1h 5m 11s)

because they’re just letting anyone in, I guess.

(1h 5m 14s) Chelsea:

anyone in here wow no that’s neat though I guess um

(1h 5m 16s) Kevin:

Oh, there’s He-Man.

(1h 5m 20s) Chelsea:

yeah I imagine if they did like a because you know pokemon and magic were both wizards of the

(1h 5m 22s) Kevin:

I can’t.

(1h 5m 28s) Chelsea:

coast at the start if they did like a pokemon collab with them

(1h 5m 33s) Kevin:

Okay. Not Pokemon,

(1h 5m 35s)

but there’s

(1h 5m 36s)

rumblings. You see

(1h 5m 38s)

Hasbro, the parent company of

(1h 5m 41s)

Wizards of the Coast,

(1h 5m 43s)

you know, from Magic the Gathering.

(1h 5m 45s) Chelsea:

yeah why are we whispering

(1h 5m 47s)

we’re not

(1h 5m 49s)

podcasts

(1h 5m 50s)

we’re like come here

(1h 5m 50s) Kevin:

I don’t want to say

(1h 5m 52s) Chelsea:

tell me your secret

(1h 5m 54s)

allegedly

(1h 5m 56s) Kevin:

too loudly because I could

(1h 5m 58s)

be dead wrong, but Hasbro struck a deal.

(1h 6m) Chelsea:

yes yes I know I can’t

(1h 6m 1s) Kevin:

They’re producing toys for

(1h 6m 3s)

Nintendo, specifically Legend of Zelda

(1h 6m 4s)

toys.

(1h 6m 7s)

They look very good. I’m excited

(1h 6m 9s)

for them, but here’s

(1h 6m 11s)

the thing. People are thinking,

(1h 6m 13s)

well, the movie’s going to be out

(1h 6m 15s)

next year, and there’ll

(1h 6m 17s)

be more toys for that, probably, but

(1h 6m 19s)

because it’s Hasbro and they own

(1h 6m 21s)

Wizards, we might see

(1h 6m 23s)

Zelda in Magic the Gathering.

(1h 6m 26s)

There’s

(1h 6m 27s)

a decent chance, and it’s

(1h 6m 29s)

going to be brutal. It’s going to be

(1h 6m 30s)

vicious if they do

(1h 6m 33s)

so we might see it

(1h 6m 34s) Chelsea:

Oh my goodness, I…

(1h 6m 36s)

Yep.

(1h 6m 37s)

The minimalism of leaving my body as soon as Zelda is mentioned.

(1h 6m 43s)

Or Pokemon.

(1h 6m 45s)

I got room for one more thing on the shelf.

(1h 6m 47s) Kevin:

yeah so

(1h 6m 50s)

stay tuned listeners for the greenhouse

(1h 6m 52s)

where Chelsea and I

(1h 6m 54s)

talk about

(1h 6m 55s)

as we live play games of

(1h 6m 58s)

the Zelda set of Magic the Gathering

(1h 7m 1s) Chelsea:

are you a big zelda fan oh good

(1h 7m 3s) Kevin:

oh yeah

(1h 7m 4s)

oh yeah

(1h 7m 5s)

we can do a whole greenhouse on that

(1h 7m 8s)

I mean that’s appropriate for you for sure

(1h 7m 10s)

I started

(1h 7m 11s) Chelsea:

you’re not a true fan unless you played zelda cdi

(1h 7m 12s) Kevin:

Wind Waker but I’ve gone back to a lot

(1h 7m 14s)

Minish Cap

(1h 7m 16s)

I mean I’m Big Toon Link

(1h 7m 17s)

oh okay well you know I am

(1h 7m 20s) Chelsea:

(1h 7m 22s) Kevin:

a fake fan

(1h 7m 23s)

I played

(1h 7m 24s) Chelsea:

that’s yeah okay you can’t you survive that nonsense

(1h 7m 24s) Kevin:

what’s it called

(1h 7m 26s)

Spirit Tracks

(1h 7m 28s)

(1h 7m 30s)
