I'm guessing either the job fell through or she quickly realized that she didn't want to work there.

That'd be great... but it doesn't feel like Vice sees the value in adding *anyone* to the team. I really hope that changes in the future.
Transcript of Austin's interview with Tomino. I still don't know if this was recorded and I should wait for the video or not.
I'm so happy to hear Natalie back on anything, but especially with Waypoint talking about Kingdom Hearts.
Austin's review of Mechwarrior 5 is just what I was looking for.
In particular, I appreciate that he contrasts it to Harebrained Schemes' Battletech, since that's my point of reference for the franchise. Found it really illuminating.

Listening to the Keighley's prediction-cast after watching the awards show is very funny.
The guys are batting .000

about to do that myself cause I got up to the point where they were gonna talk about it in today's and realized I hadn't heard the prediction one
though having any expectations means they'd be wrong, I guess
it wasn't unnoticed; they called it that when he first talked about the recipe a while back and it's a Discord channel name like Sabas said
well I recently heard the amazing dragon fight sequence and then that was topped by surprise Fantasmo with surprise Nick Scratch
genuinely made my heart swell, just delightful stuff

Surprise Nick Scratch is such a wonderful moment, what a touching and perfect way to put a bow on that character. I love the final sprint of Spring and its very long epilogue.
Gigantamax Centiskorch is what Fero turns into against the dragon.

Everything from that point on to the end of Hieron is incredible. Enjoy
And yeah the
Nick
the dark knight quests kinda sound exactly like what they should be

I'm helping a 40 year old catboy take down his former friend who has become a magic vampire, with the help of a mysterious amnesiac girl we rescued from a box
I saw austin's replies to people about what he didn't like about the dark knight and yeah. that definitely seems like the localization team. (some people solely attribute stuff to koji fox in particular but the whole team seem to have their ups and downs). and then there's that moment in time with stormblood and the hamilton references. sometimes it's appropriate? but it can be real rough especially if you never got into/don't like hamilton lmao
also I liked this bit on the pod

I've never actually done more than one of the DRK quests and generally skip almost all job quest cutscenes. I'm not sure exactly what people like about them
The SCH ones with the Tonberries are cute I guess.
Still think that Heavensward is prime modern Final Fantasy, so will be interested in Austin's take, good or bad.

I liked the bard quests because guydelot and sanson being tsundere for each other was fun times.
red mage is enjoyable but brief.
the role quests when you hit shadowbringers are also very good. or at least the ones I've done so far (physical dps and magical dps)

The Healer one in Shadowbringers was definitely the standout for me.
Overall, I was way more into exploring the Warriors of Darkness and their backstory instead of having the usual 3-5 quests that have been getting long in the tooth.
I was curious how those Dark Knight quests would go for Austin, as I always personally thought the initial 30-50 run was fine, but incredibly overstated by the community so I'm not surprised he fell into that trap. It continues on to have some interesting high points, but each class-through-job quest line have at least one point where things get interesting. The only one that never ever hit for me from start to finish is Gladiator > Paladin. Even the crafting jobs have some interesting through-lines that help add to the overall world.
I found DRK way more interesting throughout Stormblood...
Where you start manifesting guilt, remorse, and pain instead of just petulance.
I can't believe what I'm hearing!
you can be a lalafell and have a mustache and not be a terrible person!
look at this tiny potato dad!

re: thanos and darksied:
also curse rob zacny for making me want to reread x-wing and maybe start watching clone wars. 'i'm not a star wars mark' i assure myself as i actively entertain buying the xwing bundle on kindle (its basically just those books and the thrawn stuff that rules imho)

I've been thinking about Austin's comments on Hellblade and some of the criticism around it despite the widespread acclaim it received and the effort that seemed to go into it.
I haven't played the game, so can't comment to any actual issues or concerns around it, but I wonder, given that mental health is a very personal and individual thing, is it possible for a game covering these issues to ever satisfy everyone?
I'd assume not, and so obviously the answer to this issue is for there to be more games from a greater variety of backgrounds and perspectives. If Hellblade is thought of as "THE mental health game," this obviously leads to issues around people thinking that all mental health issues are as presented, with auditory hallucinations and so on but (and I'm giving Hellblade the benefit of the doubt here), that doesn't mean that it's an invalid perspective on these issues.

he looks like he bought a fake mustache to try and buy alcohol for him and his friends, and the exaggerations of the emotes aren't helping
I had to make sure that you weren't telling the truth, because I was like 99% sure Battletech doesn't do that purely because they would have said it in the podcast
and while I was correct and they did not make that pun, I sure did see many variations of "giri overcomes ninjo" in the results and I have no idea what's going on in Battletech
Regardless, it led me to a wonderfully uncited and poorly written Wikipedia page.
sorry for the confusion! I was too eager to do a joke. a steampun if you will. especially sorry that you had to look it up.
