Waypoint+ |OT| "Fuck Capitalism, Go Home"
- Thread starter Mezentine
- Start date
I wish waypoint had like a weekly schedule overview for their podcast similar to https://easyallies.com/ would make it easier to follow stuff.
RIP I fucked up and didn't start the spoilercast till like an hour or two ago so I submitted a question for the exam probably way too late
I sorta assumed they'd just do it from audience-written questions (they did live question buckets like that before) and failed to check
EDIT: oh thank god
someone sent in an email to the spoilercast that covered that exact thing
the reaction was everything I hoped for

Easy mode in Sekiro is as easy as Sekiro + Cheat Engine, unless you are a grandma who still uses AOL one can figure that out using the magic of the internet. A mod might require even less effort.The only barrier i can imagine is middle aged people being really afraid of download sites.
Does anyone have a link to that T Rex noise video they were talking about on Friday's show?
EDIT: yeah here's the link to the start of their panel on the stream https://www.twitch.tv/videos/403510860?t=03h08m29s
They were hosting it from the official PAX stream so there'll probably be an archive of it there already

You know the story of how Patrick's wife refuses the existence of all anime was funny for a time, but the joke doesn't last when all zelda is is a Ghibli film made into a game series. Patrick may have excuses,doesn't need to force his wife to do anything, but a caucasion man being deliberately ignorant so they can get those anime and evangelion jokes in there just aren't that funny to me. It just sound like your first anime club in college and that's just cringe worthy if it weren't for more insightful people being there like austin.
I was not ready for that mark of mastery of mastery exam. It was too good. I will admit I would have flunked out on all questions but the org 13 name question which I think I could have aced after dying to them so often in KH2.
Wonder what that says about lore reasons that after listening to 10+ hours of that I'm as unprepared as them x).

I thiiiink I would have gotten almost all of them, but I've played all of the games myself, and recently
the Twilight Town kids thing is very funny to me because in the start of 2 Roxas shouts "Hayner, Pence, Olette!" a lot
they specifically only included questions with stuff they'd covered

Natalie cried at work because of kingdom hearts
there was no doubt that her Heart is stronger than Austin's or Patrick's

I would definitely say to watch it if you can; I have no idea what stuff the stream did or didn't catch, but there is definitely something gained by seeing them during this... especially given Patrick, but even beyond that
This is the EXACT face I imagine every time Austin says "Mmm, well..."
Not sure if it's their CDN or what, but it won't let me download that latest episode, not even the mp3 directly lol
Tried several apps, too.

Really nice to see Patrick citing Civilization for its great difficulty options in his "Easy Modes" article. It's been consistently excellent at offering such customisation options, and I think it's one of the reasons Civilization is so popular. From Settler to Deity, Civ offers a wide range of experiences to match all skillsets and preferences.
Yeah, Civ does that really well, although IMO CIv also isn't based around challenge at all, which is why I disagree with the article's main point.
I mean, to be able to beat a CIV game on it's highest difficulty you'll need extensive knowledge of the game and have probably played it for far longer than anything souls games demand of you.
I get the appeal of a singular difficulty. It forces one to learn the game, sometimes past the point one would have chosen if difficulty options had been available. The community aspect of beating a particular, universal, challenge can also be big.
However i've never heard of modding making a game worse, for example. And that's because there's really nothing bad in people making up their own "houserules". "Officially sanctioned by the dev" is purely psychological, imo.
From could make an "intended way to play" mode and still offer modifiers for the people that want/need them. I'm not angry they don't do it, rescources in development are limited, but i don't really see how it would make their games worse.
I mean this lovingly, and I totally understand that Waypoint is trying different things to see what works in a volatile media climate that requires an enormous amount of ingenuity and persistence on the part of anyone trying to carve out a niche for themselves, but: I would sell some toes to see their analytics for how these Jane Austen podcasts are performing, or to be a fly on the wall for meetings about the direction and aim of these podcasts, because it seems like a very odd turn to me and I have to assume that there is some story on the back end that we aren't privy to
It makes some sense to me that they'd be surprisingly good at retaining dedicated Waypoint listeners—I feel like the sort of people who are committed in their appreciation of Austin and Rob's podcasting identity & general critical lens would probably listen to those two guys podcast the phone book—but it seems like it'd be a real tough sell for someone who is on Waypoint.com for the 1st-through-10th time looking for gaming news and criticism
it feels like there's been so much identity-shifting and so much experimenting on the part of Waypoint, Kotaku, Polygon, RPS, Giant Bomb, yadda yadda, over the past year—I'm sure that if the content of their analytics reports and brand-strategy meetings were ever put together, there'd be a fascinating story there about modern readership and the trajectory of games criticism. it's sad that all that information is probably never going to be put together, at least for those of us without a press badge of our own

Is there a video of their PAX panel? It was tough to listen to without visual aid since so much was going on.
