Random Runescape sea shanty noise cancelling pat made me think I was picking up unknown frequencies.
Also for the current podcast, Woolie selling out humanity for jet packs is my favorite Bit.

"Oh great, they're putting snake poison into their guns!"
The last few episodes were a perfect example of a cascade failure.
The incompency on that LP was so high that I'm still unsure how how that LP even got that far. I hope Woolie tries Kingdom Hearts 2 eventually.
They almost won a mission though.
What did he do now?
So what I'm getting is that he would totally not be ok with his own clone; but if he had a voice in his head that told him to lie, cheat, and steal, it would be ok?
honestly this wouldnt even need to be in his head from the way he didnt catch himself agreeing with himself on conversation topics hes lived through
I got to the part with Pat and honestly I thought it would be worse. If anything Woolie was being more of an asshole. Pat was pretty upfront it wasnt for him. Sometimes there's people who couldn't be creative with a gun to their head.
Eeeeh, it wasn't that bad. I know as a kid I didn't equip the skills for a loooong time Yes I realize they're not kids. It doesn't bother me at all. It's funny but the people that get irrationally angry over them missing stuff is dumb.
I guess I'm just used to other RPs that usually check those skills when they obtained them and know when they added cure.
Pat and the Zaibatsu usually filled the role of the cool older kids telling us younger kids what the cool things are which are usually games and anime.
Pat specifically just does the telling of cool thing like Yakuza games, and for his current streamer job that's usually just fine. He can talk about his experience with MMO's and other games and share his knowledge of pre-existing games. He'd be bad at Jackbox party games where you do your own stuff maybe but he likes jokes so who knows.

Pat's more of an editor type - if you present him with something, he will ask questions or mention things that can make things better, but he has no inherent drive to create something from nothing.
I think Walker is still my favorite Nolan performance though he's done several that really really show his range (David from TLOU).
I do wonder what ending they will end up with but honestly to me there is only one proper ending to get: killing yourself. To me the white phosphorous scene was never like the highlight. People always brought it up as "the" moment but it never felt like it to me. It is absolutely the turning point in the game but it it sorta stumbles cause it leans on being a "gotcha" moment. To me it was always The Line and everything after that point that was the high point of the game (culminating with the final moments).
Also still adore the "core" battle theme they use through the game (and how it develops as Walker devolves). It's the perfect accompaniment along side the slow and steady breakdown.

to me 'the moment' if such a thing exists is when you come across the crowd hanging luso - i think that's his name - but there's lots of little bits and pieces throughout i remember quite vividly, which is pretty good for a game like this
Ya that moment was what I meant by "The Line" (the game and its achievements/trophies refer to it as such)
But, ya, I agree the game doesn't really work as a nailing down a single moment which is why I it's always odd when people just specifically highlight the white phosphorus scene and nothing else. It's one slow and steady descent to the bottom.

Seeing a "Easy mode is now selectable" moment in the LP was a treat. Though seriously, Woolie should consider it. No shame if your just breaking into this kinda game, my dude.
what I like about that scene, the same thing I like about multiple scenes in the game, are the ways the player can react
scenes like that have multiple ways the player can react, and the game lets you generally, even if it's some heinous shit the player decides to do
they also don't highlight the options you have, you just naturally come to them
i haven't actually watched yet but do they start from the main menu? they should. the way that thing changes i remember being really haunting at the time. (I also feel like it's something lots of people don't see anymore because they often play games in one-two sittings or use rest mode a lot)
I think they just finished their first sitting/session in the most recent video so they haven't had a chance to even see the main menu (again) yet.
importance of having a good GM in all circumstances!
i will say though GMs should adapt to what players want even if what players want is just to chainsaw their way through a dungeon and pick up goodie bags, because fuck it
I'm personally not a big fan of the "just story tell together!" type games that Austin from Waypoint has shown off. The more freeform the game gets without having some structured rulesets and/or dice rolls to influence and sway things, the less interesting the game gets to me. There's a line between just freeform talking and the rigidity of DnD that's finnicky but I prefer the rigid structure.
my main thing with dnd is that its really clear its descended from tactical wargaming so combat is the equivalent of walking into a room and its full of chest high cover
also i tend to play wizards so the first three sessions are usually me just fucking getting straight up merced, or preparing to do a really cool thing and missing
tbh the main thing i like from apoc world* and its descendents is that failure means something interesting happens as opposed to nothing happening. It's probably something you can import into DND fairly easily maybe.

Ya and that's obviously up to the group and DM and such. 5e especially has been made to be way more flexible and vague on purpose to allow for easier "winging it" and improv on the spot so you're not locked into just the static combat ruleset.
Yeah, one moment that stuck with me was deciding to shoot above the crowd's head in that scene and the game actually reacting to it.
I'll remember that moment forever.
I already know Woolie will blunder his way through it, but I can't wait to see it.
This 100%, tried it in my first play through and loved how that was a valid option. Now I'm terrified that won't even register in the discussion during the LP.
For me I was brought down to such a dark headspace while playing that game that I basically put minimal effort in avoiding crossing the line. I pushed against the crowd a few times and they wouldn't let me pass so I just pulled the gun up and started firing. The moment sits in my head because it just worked for me while I was in Walker's perspective and just in that miserable broken state. Unlike the WP bit which only has the one option forward, The Line doesn't but I chose to cross it willingly without the abrasive of having a gotcha moment or feeling "forced" to do it like a game tends to do.
i fall completely on the other side of this. If it's all about the ruleset IMO you're better off just playing a videogame where the computer handles all the tedious stuff.
And from my perspective, you might as well forgo having a game at all and just like sit around a table and just talk about stories. Neither extreme is good but I would much rather have a defined ruleset than the much much much more freeform "storytelling" games that I've seen shown off.
