About that fighting game cpu cheat/input read email:
Good video and very good channel.
Yes, they read your inputs, too. But that's the least of your problems.

The recent pod has me downloading Outer Wilds to give it another shot after hearing Austin's enthusiasm for it again. For whatever reason I lost all interest in it after about 10 hours when I played it a few months back, hopefully I'm able to stick with it this time.
Glad we got a brief XIV update as well. Hopefully we get a proper recap on Austin's thoughts on the 2.1 - 2.55 patches since 2.1 - 2.4's content is regarded as the worst chunk of the game but he actually seemed more positive than I was expecting.

Anyway the silliest part of that Ninja segment was Austin concluding it with "I don't give a fuck, I don't care." It's hard to watch a man lie to himself.
Anyway Waypoint hire an editor, they could slice that section right out for you.

- The CPU definitely reads your inputs in a ton of classic fighters. It's very noticable in stuff like Mortal Kombat 2 where on higher difficulty the enemy just casually walks towards you, looks at your input to see if you did the equivalent of rock, paper or scissors and then counters with whatever beats it. In several King of Fighters you can use it to fool the AI as well if you input stuff like a dragon punch motion but don't press the button the AI will still try to counter the special move you didn't actually do.
-To be honest I found Patrick's list of what he still needed/wanted to beat actually pretty doable, at least if you were counting until the actual end of the year,

I recognize that I am absolutely being That Guy and for a series that doesn't really have that much emphasis on lore... but Austin and Cado constantly failing to match "Pokemon team that wants to free the Pokemon" to "Team Plasma" to "Pokemon Black and White", while seemingly having some kind of wiki open, was killing me. When Cado was like "no wait, it was Team Plasma after all, before X and Y, in... Platinum" a part of my soul died.
And Mechwarrior 5 isn't even out yet. Feelsbadman.
Also half the reason to even listen to discussion podcasts like Waypoint is for the dumb weird tangents and looping conversations. Editing that out would kill a huge reason for even listening to them.

Damn now I'm reliving it. Still my favorite season, followed closely by Marielda.
Mods I'd like to request a ban for causing emotional distress
Anyone know why Austin likes to drag the Crooked Media people on Twitter? I know they're neoliberal-ish Obama acolytes, but is there something else? He liked a Tweet today calling Jon Favreau a fascist, which seems a little harsh to me.
I really don't care for one of the podcast slots be taken up by these pretty low audio quality interviews.
Same, but I imagine this is them being swamped with year-end stuff and needing to get that time back. It sounds like there'll be a good amount of year-end pods and posts coming down the pipeline.
Tbh if you want to put something creative out Into the world at a certain point you just gotta go for it
I get it though... Every time they start a new campaign I spend like three episodes confused, and if I lose track for a second it all disappears
I just wish the episode notes would just include an actual summery instead of transcribing the opening monologue. Everytime I'm like "I should get back into FatT," it's immediately followed by "Where the fuck did I leave off???" and the episode notes are zero help.
All the older episode notes should have the transcript links added to them sometime soon, fwiw. I think they were waiting till they were mostly done before they added them. That should make that approach easier.
It's not usually the start of game as much as the ends of some arcs that I get a bit lost, if I wasn't paying attention the middle bits of the arc. Which usually means rewinding (and then maybe getting distracted again) or just moving through it and picking what I missed from context/later out of character discussion.

lol
No Alpha no sale.
layering with heattech was a lifesaver on my recent trip to Japan
I'd wear heattech designed by nero tbh. the scavean armor sets > cid's ironworks
It's not even the opening monologue most of the time I don't think. Austin has taken to putting additional story content in the episode descriptions, which is cool but very difficult to follow, incredibly easy to miss, and makes it harder to remember where you were.
Sadly, since Patrick has RT'd her announcement along with (of course) a glowing endorsement, it doesn't look like it. If bringing Natalie back was remotely possible he'd probably be working on that before she had to say something publicly.
HOWEVER, who knows, whatever career change happens in the future might give her opportunities to guest on Waypoint Radio.
Damn. Sucks that former Waypointers have not had the success they deserve after leaving. I hope she lands somewhere that is a better fit for a Joyous Gamer.
Man, that Rob quote that was something like, "Bioshock, Farcry, the only difference is how they spell it" had me cackling. Booker DeWitt I still consider one of my least favorite protagonists, and that line being referenced is one of the big reasons why.
Yeah, it seems unlikely. But who knows, Vice should see the value in adding more diversity to the podcast.
Eh, it's up to her in the end, there's no obligation to make something private into something public.
She worked at a progressive video game website and that carries with it a literal life-long commitment to personal safety first.
