  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, super, super fun news day. We'll not talk about that because I don't think this I mean, I don't think that personally. I don't think it's a good plan to invade other countries and steal their, their leaders, even if they are terrible people. I just don't think that's a great thing in general. Just putting that out there.

  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But we're not a politics or a news podcast, so we're not going to talk about that.
• 1:57
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: We are going to talk about what games, what farming and cottagecore games we are most looking forward to this year.

  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh man. Well, look, I feel you'll understand when you listen to the discussion and how we get to that point, you'll understand why we went.
• 2:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: it's fine it's fine
• 2:39
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: "I'm--look, here's the thing, it's not a--okay, this is the only comment I want to say, like,
• 2:47
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Spoilers for the game of the year episode
• 2:50
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: it's nothing wrong with snack or nothing--okay, you're spoilers if you haven't listened--there's
• 2:54
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: nothing wrong with snack, oh, it's a fine game. In fact, in other years, it probably would win,
• 2:59
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: like I don't have any issue with it. Well, you know, it would win. In my book, it would win, let's
• 3:00
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: What it did win, but okay
• 3:07
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - Let's see that.
• 3:09
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - I just think it's not going to be a great farming game,
• 3:12
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: and I think there will be other great farming games.
• 3:15
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Wander stop.
• 3:16
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: We're only getting one of those every,
• 3:19
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I don't know when we're getting the next one.
• 3:21
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Good. I'm glad. I'm glad we're gonna get another one.
• 3:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That's my big, that's my big put, look.
• 3:25
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh my goodness, okay, we're moving on.
• 3:29
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: [laughing]
• 3:30
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Look, I am glad that you liked it so much. That is old.
• 3:34
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay, all right, moving on.
• 3:37
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Well, what have you been up to?
• 3:38
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So, yo, whoa, whoa, whoa, no way. I haven't said we're gonna have some news.
• 3:39
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I'm putting on you. What's going on?
• 3:44
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But first of all, yeah, some game news, some name, game,
• 3:44
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: What?
• 3:46
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: The non-bombing kind?
• 3:51
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: news. But first of all, I'm still letting you say it.
• 3:52
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, stuff happens still, apparently.
• 3:58
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Wait, what are you being up to?
• 4:00
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: What are you being up to?
• 4:01
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, there we go. Okay, cool. I haven't been up to huge amounts gaming-wise, because holidays
• 4:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay, all right, what have you been up to now? I'm putting it on you.
• 4:05
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: What's going on?
• 4:09
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: are always complicated with kids. But I have been pouring my way through the Pokémon
• 4:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Legends the AADOC. I finished the main story.
• 4:18
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You made all the donuts now we can feed them to the ampa, yay.
• 4:21
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Ah. So, here's a couple of things, but they don't ask. First up, I don't, I still don't like
• 4:29
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: the timers, right? I don't like the timers at all for two reasons. One, I don't like the stress.
• 4:35
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And two, when I'm in a place where I've like used done everything and I've used up,
• 4:39
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I've done all the things I need to do in that area, and there's nothing left for me to do,
• 4:42
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: like there's not a Pokémon that I want to show you on. There's no task to get, there's no items to get.
• 4:47
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And I'm sitting there with a few minutes left on my timer. That's wasted time I could be doing
• 4:51
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: something, but there's nothing I can be doing, and it's really annoying. So, it's like you have to
• 4:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: constantly be judging, which is the right donut to do. And it's very frustrating. And if you make
• 4:59
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: a mistake, it all too saves when you use a donut. So, you can't then just reset it.
• 5:04
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yes, listeners, I know a bit of the backup save. I'm not doing that. It's too much effort.
• 5:09
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And I, I just find that is just as frustrating as running out of time, right? Because it's like
• 5:16
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: wasted time that doesn't feel good? I also... I don't
• 5:17
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You're... or...
• 5:21
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: like how the recipes are not consistent, like they wear for carties and sandwiches. Like if you
• 5:28
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: use the same berries you get different effects out of it, right? So you can't consistently get
• 5:36
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: sparkling power for a specific type. You just have to keep doing it and eventually you'll get what
• 5:42
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: you want. And again, it saves when you create a donut. So you can't even like save scum that. Yes again,
• 5:49
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I know about the--
• 5:51
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: backup save too much effort for making a dora.
• 5:53
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, that's okay
• 5:56
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's just weird decisions. It's like the Pokemon game free continually like to be sure that they don't like us resetting things.
• 6:04
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And I just-- I don't get why they would restrict it in that way.
• 6:11
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It just seems like such an annoying thing.
• 6:14
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like, I mean, it all comes down from the fact that they didn't allow you not to have auto saves.
• 6:21
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It doesn't solve the problem that they want because they still have the backup saves.
• 6:25
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And they need the backup saves. They can't get rid of the backup saves.
• 6:25
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah
• 6:28
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It just means that it's more effort to do it.
• 6:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's well, I think on the one hand if your game is in such a way that
• 6:40
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Players are encouraged to reset like I mean, I don't know personally. I as if I were a game dev
• 6:44
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I wouldn't want that
• 6:47
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That feels like a flaw, but
• 6:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: - Yes, but there's wanting it and going out of your way
• 6:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: to make it difficult.
• 6:53
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, that's true
• 6:55
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, but yeah, they're not solving it
• 6:56
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Also, I wouldn't want to reset.
• 6:57
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I wouldn't want to reset the donuts
• 6:59
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: if they were consistent.
• 7:00
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like the other previous things we've done, right?
• 7:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, that's
• 7:02
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like I really liked, I really liked how curries and sandwiches.
• 7:06
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Well, curries didn't have any effects, right?
• 7:08
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But they at least they've made the same thing
• 7:09
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 7:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: when you use the same ingredients.
• 7:11
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And sandwiches, if you use the same ingredients,
• 7:13
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: you've got the same effects.
• 7:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like, I don't like this, like, "Oh, make a--"
• 7:18
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: You know, use up all your donuts on this thing that might make sparkling power three, or it might make humongle power one. Okay, why?
• 7:24
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh yeah it is baffling isn't it and not just this like so many
• 7:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: things a Pokemon does like their refusal to learn from themselves I don't know I don't know um
• 7:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: However, other than that, I have been enjoying the DLC.
• 7:47
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's not a particularly interesting story, it's kind of predictable, but what I've said
• 7:51
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah
• 7:53
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: a couple of times to people is, I think this is the funniest Pokémon has ever been.
• 7:57
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, that's about to say although I hear that rain is pretty good though
• 8:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: At least on the side stuff the side change
• 8:04
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like I'm regularly laughing out loud during dialogue in this game, even more than the
• 8:12
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That's pretty good. Um, that's pretty hype. Um, yeah. I wish they did a little more with this
• 8:19
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: whole hyper space reality stuff. What? Yeah. I guess I'll take that. I also wish, well, I know,
• 8:25
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: - Yeah.
• 8:27
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I'm, I'm getting into it, but okay, try to judge what's there. It's fine. I guess it would be a good
• 8:33
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: opportunity for other characters to show up. I'm just saying.
• 8:37
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah. Yeah, they could definitely have done more with it. Um, and I guess it does it does just feel like
• 8:43
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: another example of, um, the continuation of, okay, we've done enough to sell this game. Let's
• 8:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: move on to the next sort of thing and, okay, sure. I mean, I, this is the thing like I, I still,
• 8:55
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: door, door.
• 9:01
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I'm enjoying it and I am still not regretting my purchase. I, I will continue to
• 9:07
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: buy the games because I continue to enjoy the games. Um, and, you know, you presumably
• 9:10
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: or not yet now, but uh, it's on my list. I would do wish to play the game.
• 9:13
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: still haven't bought the game. Eventually. So yeah, I, it's, yeah, I don't know. Blah. I'm enjoying it. I like it. There you go. But as always, there are
• 9:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah.
• 9:27
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Uh, black.
• 9:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh, you're not here. Here's a question. Would you give up this game to get
• 9:37
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Hope the mon's Z back in 20.
• 9:40
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, I guess, but what it was also X, Y, and those are some dang good games!
• 9:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: No, I don't think so
• 9:44
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Because I I I mean Pokemon Z would have just been the same, but maybe with one extra story with Zygarde and actually like what we call this was more than that
• 9:58
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Much more
• 10:02
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: There were yeah, but that this Z would have just been the same. I don't want just X and Y again
• 10:07
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, I know.
• 10:09
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Right like I won something different
• 10:11
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Bye, guys. Fine. I can't believe Sandy and Dexia didn't show up. This was their moment to show up.
• 10:11
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: You
• 10:16
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: There are many people that you question why they didn't turn up
• 10:20
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. Yeah, I've played once a big one too, right? Let's do. Don't worry about it. Let's do it.
• 10:28
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's all right. We're in 2026. The Pokémon's 30th anniversary. I'm sure we'll have lots to talk about later in the year.
• 10:34
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Well, yeah, okay. So I have started this county. Um, the, the game that's, that's
• 10:36
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So that's what I've been up to. What have you been up to, Kevin?
• 10:47
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: cottagecore. So guess what? I may speak about that at length in, in the future on this
• 10:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: [laughs]
• 10:54
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: very platform, spoiler. Um, all right. Now I'll, I'll give it a thumbs up so far right now.
• 11:00
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's doing what I want.
• 11:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - Wow.
• 11:04
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: There's one glaring spot, like not good.
• 11:11
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay, and it is the soft management,
• 11:14
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: like gameplay thing, specifically on controller.
• 11:19
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: So what it is, the customer brings a number of items
• 11:24
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: to the register and you have to tally up their total, right?
• 11:28
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's not terribly hard, it's fine, it works for the link,
• 11:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: but on controller.
• 11:34
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You have to give you like a little number pad or you have to type in what if you're on controller you have to like move the control stick around in a
• 11:42
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's not even like moving the cursor around. It's like the center of the control stick like you know, neutral position is
• 11:50
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Eight or whatever and then you move to the diagonals to get the different number buttons
• 11:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Okay. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:55
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, and and they have to hold like what's an LT to put a zero and
• 12:01
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: And it's not great, it's not a great solution.
• 12:04
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's like doing a rotary dial on a phone
• 12:04
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Um, to the... Yeah, basically.
• 12:08
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Um, and, and so when...
• 12:08
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: For our younger for our younger listeners rotary dials were old phones that had a circular thing
• 12:12
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh my gosh.
• 12:14
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Where you went from the start to go to the number and then let it run back and go ask your appearance or grandparents about it
• 12:20
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I don't know if we actually have any young listeners. We're probably all our age
• 12:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. Oh, my.
• 12:25
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh, hopefully.
• 12:29
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Dale and go ask your repair.
• 12:34
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Anyways, uh, but so it's not a great field to the to the gameplay
• 12:41
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: mechanic, the primary thing of checking people out.
• 12:44
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Um, while other than I'm enjoying it, um,
• 12:48
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, like I said, once I dive deeper into it, well, well.
• 12:51
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Who thoughts on it more, but overall not disappointing so far. So yeah, that's this county. Let's see what else. Oh boy, you night. Oh, man. I haven't talked about you night in a minute. Um. Oh wow. Oh
• 13:06
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh yes, well, we got recently. I've not really been paying attention to Pokemon you know in about the last nine months. I've barely heard anything about it
• 13:17
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Coincidental date maybe
• 13:17
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay, so they did a big update in
• 13:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: December I believe it was and they it is the how should I put it so you know it has constantly been on an arms race to take more of your money
• 13:33
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: um they each yep yeah absolutely right it's a big gacha thing in general but very guilty as they
• 13:34
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yep, like all of the Pokémon games, yeah.
• 13:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah.
• 13:44
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: My money is sunk into Go and TCG Pocket, so I definitely can't do another one.
• 13:45
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: injured there you go
• 13:51
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: fair enough um so it's been you know it's been clear like yeah here's a 30 more passes for
• 13:58
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: special costumes and whatever yada yada yada um and while annoying it's been at least for me it was
• 14:06
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: tolerable um because there's a lot of pop-ups but you can ignore it now they have they broken the
• 14:13
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: the glott the emergency the emergency glass breaking case of we want more money they have changed the
• 14:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: acquisition system for new pokemon um so before you play the game uh you get there's you know various currencies but
• 14:29
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: you play enough you get currency enough to buy a pokemon fairly straightforward simple and consider the nature of the
• 14:36
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: game it's what works you want to play is Geratosia save up enough you buy Geratos and then you play it right
• 14:43
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: um they have changed it to where you can no longer select the pokemon you want to buy
• 14:49
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Umm...
• 14:50
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: What? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did they make you night more capture? I'm sick. I... I... Oh... Oh... Oh...
• 14:52
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You can do that if you have the premium currency where you pay with real...
• 14:59
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh yeah!
• 15:01
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh yeah!
• 15:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Because here's the thing.
• 15:06
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay, so if you pay money, real money dollars, or the premium currency, you can still buy the book money one.
• 15:12
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Of course, they left that on touch, right?
• 15:14
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Otherwise, they have...
• 15:16
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I forget what they call it, but basically there's a...
• 15:19
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: There's a bar right and
• 15:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: when you play enough you fill up the bar and when you fill up the bar you can buy a certain license from a select group of Pokemon that they tell you you can buy from like you filled up the bar okay congrats you can now buy three or one of these three Pokemon and if you have them all I forget what you get you you fill up the next bar faster I don't remember exactly what but the point is I cannot just.
• 15:45
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: or it doesn't even show you a list of three that you don't already have.
• 15:50
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It doesn't even just show you a list of three that you don't already have.
• 15:52
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: No, no it's like.
• 15:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So the three could have be two that you already have and one you don't.
• 15:57
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yes, yes, yep and it's like a ladder sort of thing when you fill up the next pass okay hey here the next level on your pass you can these are the ones you can get in the next round and so on and so forth right.
• 16:11
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: So I'll just use a concrete example but pour on but pour on release last month it's like the one defender I don't have in an idea you.
• 16:22
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You know two months ago I would have just saved up my money and bought up a bore on now I have to wait until the bar says I can buy the poor.
• 16:30
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh, it is baffling baffling to me because this whole game is predicated on playing the Pokemon you want to play.
• 16:33
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: That's amazing
• 16:42
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: So the fact that they've limited this it's oh this this is it it's it feels like then and.
• 16:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I feel like I feel like I would I think it would be less stupid if that was how it always was
• 16:51
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: There's times for you night.
• 16:58
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: and it was just like the more you play eventually you'll get to unlock the better characters, right?
• 17:04
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like that doesn't feel like the worst thing in the world. It doesn't feel amazing, but it doesn't feel like the worst thing
• 17:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But doing it was that like three years into its lifetime
• 17:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And that's...
• 17:18
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's our decision.
• 17:20
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Um, yeah, what?
• 17:23
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh, goodness.
• 17:24
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like, you could have bought like a whole bunch of them, and now you either have...
• 17:30
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And the one you don't have is in the top level.
• 17:33
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So because you have bought a whole bunch of them, you're now disadvantaged.
• 17:37
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And that you don't get to unlock anything new unless you pay for it until, until you get
• 17:39
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Or yeah, yeah, it's it's not great. Now I'd to be fair. I have not played it at length of this this the license journey update. So I may have some aspects wrong. There might be something I misunderstanding. But in general, like there's like I said, I wanted to buy Vaporean. I couldn't to the shop and I couldn't buy Vaporean.
• 17:42
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: to the very top.
• 17:43
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: He's dreadful.
• 18:04
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Um, but, uh, yeah.
• 18:09
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's not great. Um, yeah. Yeah, I don't, uh, it's not bueno. No bueno.
• 18:15
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: So that's, that's great. Not great. And, and is, is genuinely soured my unite experience.
• 18:22
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I've been playing that much just because I've been busy, but, uh, again, and like I said,
• 18:27
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: three years, I've been playing this game for three, four years, however long. And I've, I've enjoyed it.
• 18:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I very much enjoyed it. And now they did this. So, oh, well, I'll, I'm going to really
• 18:39
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: feel, you know, in the release hallute show or the new megapalinks or whatever. And then I
• 18:45
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: can't get it. Um, but we'll see. I don't know.
• 18:46
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: because you know you know the new ones are gonna obviously be you know higher up
• 18:51
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: they're gonna be like the top ones because otherwise like that's so
• 18:54
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, of course yeah, you know what isn't stupid ball guy. So I might say, but that's why we love him
• 19:06
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Because all guy they added a new
• 19:10
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Cygnus you ball guy to Pokemon masters
• 19:13
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Obviously, why wouldn't they?
• 19:15
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: From the fenging gears here, but have you seen the new ball guy outfit out?
• 19:20
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I have no, no. I saw someone mention it on Discord, but I haven't looked at it.
• 19:24
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh my gosh
• 19:28
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's it's it's in here. I'm gonna show you the picture
• 19:31
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's incredible. It's it's a new year
• 19:35
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: New Year event because
• 19:39
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I want to call
• 19:41
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Masters always does holiday events or whatever and
• 19:45
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: So we get ball guy, but it looks like a sui and Pokeball and he comes with a sui and electrode and
• 19:49
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh my. Okay.
• 19:52
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: And he has a...
• 19:54
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: kind of a kimono sort of looked to it, not not kimono, I forget what they're called, but that's sort of like traditional Japanese coat sort of thing.
• 20:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: He looks great, it's fantastic. I love Bog, I so much, it's stupid.
• 20:09
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: And they added him to the... what they call the lodge, which is the kissing booth, as people call it, where you just get to hang out with the trainers and do one-on-one conversations and whatnot.
• 20:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: So yeah, good times in man
• 20:24
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: They didn't shoot themselves in the foot. I mean they did before but they fixed it already
• 20:31
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, fantastic.
• 20:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, so that's it's incredible. Great great stuff
• 20:36
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I think there was a new one or two, but like what's fine. Whatever. Okay. It's all bald guy. I care about
• 20:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: [laughing]
• 20:45
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, good times. I wonder I'm genuinely wonder how they're gonna if they're gonna touch
• 20:51
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: ZA characters at all.
• 20:54
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: They have Emma like they have but they have XY Emma. How are you gonna add the new Emma?
• 20:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh, surely at some point.
• 20:59
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Well, do I mean, that's not unusual that they have multiple versions of a character?
• 21:01
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I guess so
• 21:03
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, but that's like future version, you know, that's I don't know whatever. We'll see
• 21:07
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah.
• 21:09
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: well
• 21:10
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Will we get terrorists?
• 21:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I think there's nothing wrong with that.
• 21:12
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Maple wife professor? I don't know maybe
• 21:16
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Maybe I mean you can already hang out with Giovanni in the lodge, so they're not inverse to hanging out the terrace
• 21:23
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Exactly. Also, she's reformed. Come on.
• 21:24
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, she is. Yeah, it's great. Good size. Oh, that's one of the wins for sure
• 21:30
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Slash got on a deal, like ways reformed if you can just go on a deal.
• 21:34
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, oh, okay. That's all I got. That's all they got
• 21:38
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: All right, well, let's talk about some news. First up,
• 21:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Stardew Valley, the Switch 2 update came out while like, well, since the last recording I did,
• 21:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I can't even remember when that was. Can't remember when this came out.
• 21:50
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh, why? Wait, wait, wait. So is it Stardew Valley to do it? Do it? I don't know what's in the update. I don't even know.
• 21:51
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I just remember to come out sometime in the last...
• 22:01
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Well, that's a good question. Does it count as a switch is a starchy value to? No, it's it's just for clarification for people listening. There are no
• 22:12
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Additional content. It's just new features based on the switch too. So it has mouse mode. It has game chat of something else. I think I can't remember what it was. I mean most of it is
• 22:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Does it have the game chat where I put your face over the character?
• 22:26
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: That is a good question. I don't actually know whether it does that or not
• 22:31
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I'm guessing not because I haven't I haven't seen any game to other than a first-party Nintendo game
• 22:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Probably not, but it'll be dope.
• 22:37
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, I know the game probably ever will. Maybe among us, maybe.
• 22:42
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I guess the question is whether they can or not like whether that is available to those games or not because it might be a private API
• 22:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: We don't know anyway
• 22:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's free just in case people are listening and are it's it's free update from the switch one update
• 22:58
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: standard price if you don't already have it.
• 23:01
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And there's some significant bugs. So, if you are playing the game, yeah, it's not, no, no, no, no.
• 23:06
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: And not the kind you want.
• 23:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Starchy doesn't have bugs. So there's a crafting issue where some things, if you craft
• 23:16
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: it or randomly get rid of some things in your inventory. So just be careful of that if you are
• 23:23
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: playing the Switch 2 version of Starchy. We also got some more info on the 1.7 update, which we'll be
• 23:29
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: coming out sometime.
• 23:30
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: What?
• 23:31
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: He said that there will be a new farm type, technically I guess he didn't say that, what
• 23:34
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Concernedape is working on more stardew.
• 23:44
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: he said was it is traditional to include a new farm type, so he's going to add a new farm
• 23:51
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: type.
• 23:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But technically he didn't say he was, and it looks like he's focusing on character and
• 23:57
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: and story-related stuff, so that's cool.
• 23:59
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You know what that's probably one area that it could use a little love right like I don't know maybe I am been keeping up, but
• 24:07
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yes, it's I mean all the stuff we talk about doing stuff with your spouse. Wouldn't that be nice?
• 24:13
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, so we'll see what comes out of that, but that is what we know so far. Next, we have the farming simulator signature edition, which is just the switch to edition.
• 24:27
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: All right, and you grow piranha plants finally as it should be
• 24:31
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I don't know why I don't know why they called it the signature edition. I'm just going to ignore that question.
• 24:37
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I don't know why they called it the signature edition rather than switch to edition, but
• 24:42
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's side I can't even come with the witty reason I have no idea either
• 24:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh wait, no, no, no, so I think the farming simulator signature edition already existed.
• 24:53
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And now this is the switch to edition of the signature edition.
• 24:57
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: good times. Don't you love name naming things. Good stuff.
• 25:05
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Or maybe it isn't. I can't get the, no, I think it is new.
• 25:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yes, because the newest one on Switch is farming similarly to 23.
• 25:13
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Anyway, people on Reddit, people on Reddit really hate people. No, people on Reddit really hate this version, apparently.
• 25:14
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: And Mari, can you farm his Mario?
• 25:20
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay. You know what? They're probably right. The farming sim people are there. They're a passionate
• 25:27
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: community. I'll say that.
• 25:29
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: - Yeah.
• 25:29
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: [laughing]
• 25:31
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I won't mess with them. I'll agree with whatever the bread it says.
• 25:32
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: - Net.
• 25:35
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: [laughing]
• 25:37
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Next we have fantasy life.
• 25:39
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I have released a free DLC,
• 25:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: the Sinister Broker Bizario's schemes.
• 25:46
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay.
• 25:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's a roguelike mode.
• 25:48
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Which is interesting. That can work. And I haven't played I yet, but I know fancy life version.
• 25:57
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You know, pretty well, and you could do a roguelike mode there. Yeah, sure. Why not? I wonder what rewards you can get out of it, but that seems sensible, especially since works better with co-op, I'm sure.
• 26:12
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, they don't say a huge amount for or about it. Um
• 26:16
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: The let me just click through to this link because I also haven't played this game yet
• 26:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Man
• 26:22
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: though
• 26:24
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So it's a dream land apparently
• 26:25
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Is in level
• 26:27
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: The you go to so it's a separate world that you go to to do the roguelite bit and
• 26:30
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Of course makes sense, you know, I
• 26:34
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It looks like it's car. It's it looks like it's just a combat focused version
• 26:38
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, that that makes sense
• 26:39
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Which presumably the combat's in the over
• 26:43
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It is yeah, I it is a shame because
• 26:48
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You know in fantasy life you have these different
• 26:51
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: jobs or lives or whatever you want to call them. Right you can be a coper, an artist or a
• 26:57
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: paladin or whatever and all the co-op stuff is focused on the combat because that's the logical
• 27:03
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: choice that's what you could work but I wish you could do co-op with I don't know cooking or
• 27:09
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: for blacksmithing or whatever but I don't know how you do that so say lovey go fight stuff
• 27:16
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Maybe I'll play this game one.
• 27:17
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: like fantasy life. I mean I will I know
• 27:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: will on day like locomot. [laughs]
• 27:25
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Next, we have cult of the lamb will haven this is their next update that is we have a release date
• 27:31
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It is coming out on the 22nd of January
• 27:34
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And it's a bunch of winter based stuff which we we knew we knew before but
• 27:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: What I did and what we didn't know before was that winter is coming to the village as well
• 27:47
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So it's not just like because I assumed it would just be like other winter areas that you would go to with the you know
• 27:53
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: like you're going down your combo.
• 27:55
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: You're going to have to get stuff and bring them back. No, it looks like winter is coming here village and you'll have to adapt to surround.
• 28:01
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. Um, which, I mean, that's kind of wild because survival could already be hard in that thing, like,
• 28:10
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I, I, that seems difficult. You can throw snowballs. That's pretty cool. Like, you know what, good for
• 28:16
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: color of the lane. Look how long it's, it's still going on this far in and we're still getting new stuff.
• 28:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That's pretty cool. Well, Haven's a good name. What a messed up little game. I love it.
• 28:23
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, and it's free.
• 28:28
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh, wait, no, it's not free. My bad. We'll have in part, uh, it's a paid DLC.
• 28:31
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Ah, well, that's fine. It's worth it. I promise you it's worth it.
• 28:32
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: My bad. I missed that before.
• 28:36
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It is, uh, 15 pounds.
• 28:40
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So well, that would be presumably like,
• 28:43
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, it sounds about right. Well, let's see, 17 USD. There you go. That little sheet deals with
• 28:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So close.
• 28:52
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: a lot of stuff. I just got to say a lot of other course watching the trailer.
• 28:57
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, I mean, they're also trying to run a cult. So like don't feel too bad for them.
• 29:01
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That's true. That is very true, bought it on itself.
• 29:07
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And our final piece of news, we actually have a lot more news, but I decided not to include it in this episode because we're going to have a full
• 29:14
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: news only, episode catching up on everything soon, but...
• 29:18
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: The last big piece of news I wanted to cover was Sun Haven have released their 3.0 update, The Great City.
• 29:25
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And this adds a whole new region, which is obviously a great city.
• 29:33
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And I mean, do I doubt it? That would be an incredible coincidence.
• 29:35
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - Great as war haven.
• 29:41
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - Yeah, bye y'all.
• 29:42
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And obviously, you know, new storyline, new romansibles.
• 29:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But also new craftable items, new shops, new clothes, furniture, it's...
• 29:53
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I'm almost really torn when I hear new romansibles because that is a cool big thing to add,
• 29:59
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: but also like, you know, how are you going to integrate that when you're on an existing
• 30:04
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: file, probably?
• 30:05
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I think you've already said, you know, or you're a good, just start a new file.
• 30:08
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: go romance someone else, you know?
• 30:12
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Let's see.
• 30:13
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That's the only logical solution to any update ever.
• 30:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Well, I mean, that's that's why I do every stardew update, right?
• 30:17
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah.
• 30:18
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah.
• 30:19
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: See?
• 30:20
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: See?
• 30:21
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You get it.
• 30:23
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh, no, you're, there's a new farm chai.
• 30:23
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh, let's see if I can succeed in not doing that next time.
• 30:30
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Ah, there isn't there, yes, of course. Look, maybe I'll be a farm type I don't want to do.
• 30:30
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: What are you going to do?
• 30:33
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Not.
• 30:34
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay.
• 30:34
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Right, maybe I'll be on another beach farm.
• 30:35
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay.
• 30:38
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Don't like the beach farm.
• 30:42
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So that's all of our news for this episode. As I say, there will be more in the next episode.
• 30:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Our main topic for this episode is we are going to talk about what we're looking forward to most
• 30:53
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: in farming and cottage core games, specifically in 2026. We have quite a few in the list
• 31:00
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: upcoming this year and quite a lot that might be coming.
• 31:06
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Shall we just, how many, how many?
• 31:08
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: did you have on your list?
• 31:08
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay, like maybe three but it's really one and fortunately I try to pick some other ones
• 31:11
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Okay.
• 31:12
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Okay.
• 31:13
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Shall I, shall, shall, shall, I will, I will start then and well, no, no, I want, I want to talk
• 31:19
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Or should we just get out of the way the big one?
• 31:23
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay
• 31:24
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: about that at the end, right?
• 31:25
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay, okay, okay, fine. All right. I mean I can I can give you one
• 31:26
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So, so let me go for one first and then if you've got another one you can do that and then
• 31:34
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I'll bunch my other two together because they're kind of very similar and then we'll
• 31:38
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: go with the big one at the end.
• 31:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So I'm quite looking forward to Witchbrook, which is obviously the Witch farming game.
• 31:47
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It is maybe I'm a little bit one trick in some cases but like I really like how the
• 31:55
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: brooms aspect seems to work in this game, I like that and yeah, it looks really fun.
• 32:00
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - Yeah, no, that's fair.
• 32:04
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It looks like the most freeing--
• 32:08
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: movement in a 2D farming game, which I'm excited to see how that works.
• 32:12
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh, hold on pulling it up, but you know, that's that's a good that's a good point
• 32:20
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Because you don't think about movement too much in these 2d farming type games even though it's probably a big deal
• 32:29
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, no, that's that's fair. Um, well, yeah, I don't know if that's to say others
• 32:36
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Well, we'll have to see how the, how the, the, the brim actually works because it's possible like everything we see is just like, you're just going faster. So it's possible that it's, it's more limited than I was expecting. But I'm hoping that it is more, you know, nice and flexible and like you can, you know, fly high like.
• 32:56
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: you lay in on an upper level, right? That's the winner or that's what you want.
• 33:00
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. I'd like, yeah, I'm up high and I want to just like fly over a drop rather than.
• 33:06
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: you have to go down the stairs and stuff like that. Yeah, like, absolutely. Like, I want to be able to, to do that. I think that would be fun. And presumably you will not start out with the brim. Right. So it becomes our faster. It's like the horse in Stardew. Right. Like you'll get it later on.
• 33:24
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But I think it could be really fun. I think being able, having to like start off by walking round everywhere and then eventually you get this room that allows you to move much faster and over shorter distances.
• 33:36
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Would be, would be fun.
• 33:38
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, now that that is a one cool thing. I'll say that.
• 33:42
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Um, you know, otherwise, it looks fine, which book does it?
• 33:46
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, I get why people wouldn't necessarily be excited about it because it's like it's a
• 33:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Stardew-esque
• 33:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Farming game. Oh, I did see one where oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah. I I've finally seen something in one of the videos
• 33:59
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Where they do show someone going up on the broom and over rooftops
• 34:04
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, you do but the question is in your land from there. That's that's no kicker for me
• 34:09
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Look I if I can't land on a rooftop that's fine
• 34:13
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But it definitely looks like you better because there's like there's
• 34:16
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: overlapping bridges and stuff like that like as long as I can get up to those bridges, that's the important thing.
• 34:19
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's fair
• 34:23
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So we'll see we'll see how that is but I'm always looking for more interesting movement in 2d farming games.
• 34:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, no, that is a that is a good one to look for a good dude mechanic thing to judge to look forward to agree.
• 34:40
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Alright, what's your other one that you thought of?
• 34:40
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay. Well, uh, you know what, I'll, I'll
• 34:46
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: play off the witch thing. And I don't even know if I'm going to play it, but I'm excited about it coming out.
• 34:53
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Neverway looks dang good still. You know, our cottage war scary. I genuinely spooky.
• 35:01
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: [laughing]
• 35:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You know, it's, it's this spooky one. Um, yeah, I don't even know if I'll get to it, um, but it looks really good. And, um, it's so hopeful. It succeeds because I think the variety in this space is much appreciated. Um, someone putting this much care into the horror aspect of a cottage core game. I like it.
• 35:03
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah.
• 35:28
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I don't disagree with you. What I would say is I don't think Stardew but Horder is that original
• 35:34
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: line A idea. I think it has been been done. But it does, this does have certainly have a unique,
• 35:37
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - Yeah.
• 35:39
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - Who, who?
• 35:43
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: not necessarily art style, but the color palette makes it feel unique because it's all kind of
• 35:47
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's, yeah. I agree with that. You're right. It's not, it's not reinventing
• 35:48
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: purpley and dark.
• 35:56
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: the wheel, per se. You're right. Other play. I mean, how would you talk about the, what
• 36:00
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: the way I'm right? Um, like, so it's, it's maybe not hyper novel, but it looks really well
• 36:08
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: done, if nothing else. Um, yeah, it does.
• 36:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, yeah, I mean having said that call the lamb does lean into the humor of it right
• 36:14
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: What is this doesn't look like it's leaning into the humor? This looks like it's truly trying to be harder and
• 36:17
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Now, now the streets poof.
• 36:20
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: The farming stuff is just like a mechanic through this horror RPG
• 36:26
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah.
• 36:26
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Horror is always a difficult one because it's like what is one person's scary is one person's ah wherever
• 36:33
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah.
• 36:38
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I have an idea for new or farming game.
• 36:42
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's one just sitting 20, 26 in America.
• 36:45
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So I have two that are not definite. One of them is Fields of Mystery, a 1.0. We didn't
• 36:48
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Ah, oh, what else you got on your list, though?
• 36:59
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: get that last year. I'm hoping we get it this year, be fun to play more of that.
• 37:03
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Well, Snaggo come out, came out. We need another goal post-mover.
• 37:06
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I feel like with what I've seen them doing, I feel like it could well
• 37:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: be the year for Field of Mystery, a 1.0, I guess. We'll see, but I think I'm looking
• 37:20
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: hopeful at least. I don't think they have a date set. I don't think they're going to
• 37:24
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: an indication, but we're now sitting at, was it 18 months? Roughly since it's, it entered
• 37:30
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: early access. So hopefully this year, you know, we'll see what happens.
• 37:37
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: We've got the coins with the, you know, the clothing removal coins.
• 37:38
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Why do we have to, why do we have to talk about that?
• 37:42
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: But they can't, you can't.
• 37:45
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: them again? Yeah, clearly. But the, the other one, which is even less certain, is that
• 37:45
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That's works.
• 37:46
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh, what a good journey.
• 37:49
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: They have their priorities straight, that's why.
• 37:51
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:58
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I would be very surprised if there isn't something story of seasons this year. Mainly
• 38:03
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: because we haven't had a new main series game since, was it 22 was pioneers of all of
• 38:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Let me check I was twenty twenty one
• 38:10
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, it's been that long
• 38:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: was the last time we got a new main series, uh, story of seasons game. So we're now at this will be five years this year and
• 38:25
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's the 30th anniversary, right?
• 38:25
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's the 30 it's it is it's the 30th anniversary. So that's the other thing like I feel like they've probably been like aiming for this and
• 38:34
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: We do know there's stuff because they announced
• 38:37
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Things like was it two years ago. They were like. Oh, yeah, we're gonna have two new games
• 38:45
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: One of which is a traditional story of seasons and one of which is a more I think they said more multiplayer focused
• 38:52
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I think that should game.
• 38:53
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Well, they didn't they've not really said much about it and they haven't mentioned anything since then
• 39:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: They're bringing back the four girl series. Yeah!
• 39:07
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh, goodness. Um, so I would be surprised if neither of them came out this year if I had to guess probably the
• 39:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Standard one will come out this year and the multiplayer one will come out next year or the year after
• 39:20
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But I'm very intrigued just what it is. They're doing with the multiplayer one, right?
• 39:24
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Well, what is it? What does it mean? Is it an MMO or like what are they doing like the that all they told us was it's going to be more multiplayer focused
• 39:32
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: That's literally all they said
• 39:35
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And then the other one they kind of and the other one they kind of showed like a very short clip of just the cow in the chicken in a field
• 39:36
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: So there's Smash Bros.
• 39:45
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: They're like, okay, that tells me nothing. I mean, it looked good, but that doesn't tell you anything
• 39:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So it'll be interesting to see I'm a little bit more hopeful obviously pioneers of all of time was fine
• 39:57
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But none of the like characters or stories were particularly interesting
• 40:03
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But I think they've shown with
• 40:05
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Grandpa's are last year that they can still do that and so hopefully they will
• 40:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Still do that. I don't think we'll get a remake this year. I'm
• 40:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Suspect that but I hope they don't do a remake this year and I hope they're focusing on getting out one of these new games
• 40:22
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: story of seasons original remani yeah
• 40:25
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Look, I mean I look I would be up for a port of that. I don't think it needs to be a remake
• 40:30
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I think but I think a
• 40:32
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Story season's port to switch would be nice, but
• 40:36
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, now with three item slots.
• 40:36
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Because I've still not played that one cuz I need to go back
• 40:40
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh, you mean the original harvest moon you don't mean the original story seasons
• 40:44
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry. Yeah. No, no, I'm an original artist.
• 40:45
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh, yeah, no, I don't think I don't think we'll get that. I don't I don't
• 40:47
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I'm going to original OG.
• 40:50
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I actually, but no, original story of seasons from 3DS.
• 40:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Well, what if you
• 40:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, that's so that's why I was thinking that like this I think it would be fun to port the first the three 3DS story of seasons
• 40:54
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That would be a good port.
• 41:05
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I know like a multi-pack. I think that would be fun like you don't have to change them a huge amount
• 41:09
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: You just need to figure out the two screen thing that a lot of games have already kind of figured out
• 41:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And I think most of the story seasons ones. They just used it for a map
• 41:19
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So there's probably not a lot they need to do. I think it would be fun to do our
• 41:25
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Multi-pack of those the first three story seasons games for 3DS put them over to switch that would be good fun
• 41:29
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, that would be.
• 41:30
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I would definitely play three of tones again. I really loved three of tones
• 41:35
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: That's still one of my top ones for characters like the characters in that game where we're one of my favorites of any farming games
• 41:43
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Obviously, obviously not.
• 41:45
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: than Stardew, I'm not trying to say that, but like,
• 41:47
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: certainly it might be second or third. Um, and I, I really do want to play
• 41:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: the first two, but I just haven't, because, you know, 3DS.
• 41:58
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Dory of seasons 30 year phones. We did it ma'am
• 42:04
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So yeah, so yeah, I don't know what we're getting,
• 42:07
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: story of seasons this year, but we're getting,
• 42:08
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: we must be getting something.
• 42:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And so I'm looking forward to whatever that is,
• 42:11
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I'm down for that. I just you know what just give me a game where I play as a cow. How about that? I'll take that I would venture
• 42:12
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: whether it's the new game, the new multiplayer game.
• 42:18
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Maybe that's what the multiplayer game is.
• 42:20
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's just everyone's a cow.
• 42:24
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: All right, Kevin, take us home.
• 42:26
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: What's your, what's your, what was you really looking forward to this year?
• 42:30
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay, um, you know, I'm going to I'm going to give you two for I came with two other ones one of them
• 42:35
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I put a question mark because I don't know if I'm actually excited or not, but maybe
• 42:35
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Why?
• 42:39
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Okay, go for it.
• 42:40
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Artisan story looks
• 42:43
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Interesting. I guess this is a question mark
• 42:46
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: So my question mark because I like monster farming ranching. I don't know if they're gonna do it well
• 42:52
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Well, that's a cool little you know, Octopathisk art style, so that's kind of cool
• 42:58
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: But that's kind of all it's got going.
• 43:00
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: For I don't know how well it's actually going to come out, but it has my an eyebrow race. Let's say that
• 43:07
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: The other one it's maybe low-hanging fruit, but super zoo story. I like animals. I want to
• 43:11
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, I nearly put the, I nearly put that one on my list, but I didn't, I thought
• 43:20
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: for it was probably enough for me.
• 43:22
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, and I mean like it's it's yeah, it's low hanging fruit like I said
• 43:29
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's just stardew, but to do instead, and you know, all right
• 43:33
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But that's about, but Kevin, that's a big, that's a big butt, right?
• 43:37
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah
• 43:37
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like a lot of, a lot of these itch stargy butt.
• 43:40
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Their butts are small.
• 43:40
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah
• 43:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: This is a big butt, right?
• 43:43
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, it is
• 43:43
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like this is, this is, this is, you're running a zoo.
• 43:46
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: That is a huge difference.
• 43:46
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah
• 43:47
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, it is it is right like I'm I'm yeah, I'm over simplifying here and
• 43:52
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You know, come to me to hyperbolicism, whatever
• 43:56
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: But I mean like even just roots of pacho right start do but pretty starting. No, that was actually good enough to just if I play in that game
• 44:05
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: And and and and it felt good, right
• 44:08
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: This feels as big as roots of pacho like that's that's a good premise run a zoo instead
• 44:14
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I'd say maybe even bigger because like yes, Ritzapatra. I don't think it is just stardew, but prehistoric, right?
• 44:16
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Maybe yeah
• 44:21
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like there's a lot that makes that up, but it is if you think about it fundamentally
• 44:22
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah
• 44:26
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: just kind of like a skin, right on top of it. It's
• 44:28
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, that is
• 44:30
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: whereas this is like fundamental differences to how you play
• 44:34
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, I agree
• 44:35
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: because you never have to think about the public in your farm. You're farming for yourself.
• 44:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: What is a zoo you are fundamentally
• 44:44
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: doing for other people's consumption, right?
• 44:46
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, you're right. That's a good point. Yeah, I wonder how that's gonna integrate. I just and then like
• 44:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Really interested. Yeah. I mean, it's possible. It's possible that there's not a huge amount of that
• 44:57
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah
• 44:57
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: because it's not a management game. So it's not going to be like, you know, rollercoaster tycoon
• 45:02
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: or whatever. But there has to be something. There has to be something there. Otherwise, it's like,
• 45:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Right, right, and that's the interesting part, right?
• 45:09
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: am I doing a zoo or am I just doing a weird farm with different animals, right?
• 45:15
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, I guess we'll see, but I mean, yeah, that's why I put on the list though, right? Like that's that's enough to
• 45:23
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Are they gonna balance that right cuz on the one hand you have let's make a zoo where it's as you know
• 45:28
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: It's pure management and you can just have infinite number of animals because you just grow and grow right here
• 45:34
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You're not gonna obviously have that
• 45:37
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: In fact, I'm sure relative to that kind of game. It's gonna be very limited in space and what you can do
• 45:44
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: So what and.
• 45:45
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: We'll scan you have how big is it going to be you know how's all that going to operate? I don't know but we'll see. I'm excited. I like animals. I like the idea of running soon taking care of animals and whatnot. So we'll see. But that that's why it's on the list. It has my attention. Okay, but now. Okay, who cares we we said those things that have an episode, but we don't really care because.
• 46:02
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: All right, it's time to talk about the big one, right?
• 46:11
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: 2026 is one thing and one thing only
• 46:15
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: you're the PCOPIA baby. Oh.
• 46:17
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Polcopia. I think the thing is I think the thing is if this game is good
• 46:21
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: It's it'll be hard to beat at the end of the year
• 46:26
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Now that is a that is a big butt a big if that is a big if right because it could be bad
• 46:30
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, I'm confident. I could be, yeah, it's the bar is going to be very high, assuming it's
• 46:33
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But if it's good
• 46:36
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: If it's good it's going to be really hard
• 46:39
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: For something else to end up
• 46:49
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: well done, right? Like, and I, again, I have high hump confidence in octaves. I believe in the
• 46:56
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: try and quest Bill Bush team. Um, can we take more?
• 47:01
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: And so yeah, I expect good things and and they're just putting on the the Pokemon paint layered paint job on top and I'm exaggerating because much more than that, but like that's that's just a winning recipe. You know what I want us to do I need.
• 47:17
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Um, oh, I and it's so close to two months. That's gonna be your no time. Holy moly.
• 47:25
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Um, what a, what a way to start off the year.
• 47:25
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yep, and it's going to come out it's going to come out literally a week after Pokemon day, right?
• 47:30
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah.
• 47:31
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like we're going to go find out what's happening for the rest of the year with Pokemon and then
• 47:36
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: boom, Pokepia's out and you're like oh, no
• 47:40
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Okay, hello, it's here
• 47:41
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. Yeah. It's, yeah. Oh, my it's the uncomfortable truth. It very well made to the best
• 47:50
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Pokemon date to go. I see it. I mean, and, and you know, we don't, we don't even have to
• 47:53
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: whoa I hope not but
• 48:00
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: talk about it because what else, what else, we haven't gotten any trailers. We don't need
• 48:04
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: anything else. It's, it's, we know what it is. Just give it to me. Just inject into my veins
• 48:04
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: [laughter]
• 48:12
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I think the thing is that so so I I I liked dragon quest builders too, but I never got through the story because I just I wasn't caring as much about the story, right?
• 48:22
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 48:22
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But this is Pokemon
• 48:24
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So like I will get through the story because I care about Pokemon
• 48:28
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So of course I'm gonna go get through whatever story is
• 48:30
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. No.
• 48:32
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: That doesn't mean the story will be good necessarily. It might be good. It might be bad. We'll see
• 48:36
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah.
• 48:37
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But I think it's totally expected that I will play this
• 48:42
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: for a long time, whether it's good or bad.
• 48:44
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, and and I'm just excited because I I think the scale might be a lot bigger than we think
• 48:51
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Like all the
• 48:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh, I think absolutely, there's no way they give us the Dragonite flying without having a large map.
• 48:58
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, in fact, I have earned whispers on the wind. It might be the entire can't so region now
• 49:07
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: That would be interesting, like an entire post-apocalyptic cantor.
• 49:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Now just cantor, because how do you justify not being able to get to Joto?
• 49:19
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yes, I I don't know that I'm really big mountains
• 49:23
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: That would be an interesting one.
• 49:27
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I really hope that if it actually is cantor, right, like if it actually is cantor,
• 49:32
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: and it's clearly cantor, I hope that they explain.
• 49:35
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: like the, the, the, there's a-
• 49:37
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: it's actually like a thing to it. And it's not just like, oh, we did an area and we just made it look like canto, right? Like if it's just like, oh, it's canto because that's an Easter egg. I'll be really disappointed because I'm like, you could just done anything. Like why would you do this? Like I hope if they actually are doing that, that they have a story to tell about why they're doing it.
• 49:57
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: And then the story is Gen one or spring money. That's a story.
• 50:02
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But if that were but if that no no no no no because if that were the case they would have told us by now
• 50:03
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Um, but I mean, injure that idea or true. I don't know. I mean,
• 50:08
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like we don't because cause us obsessive Pokemon fans are gonna notice it, but they don't need
• 50:15
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: They're gonna get the obsessive Pokefans Pokemon fans no matter what they need to the casual Pokemon fans
• 50:21
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And the casual Pokemon fans won't care unless they tell you
• 50:22
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That's true. That's true. Oh, free. Maybe Mount Snorlax is the same Snorlax. I was blocking
• 50:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: that one route. Nobody ever to move.
• 50:33
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: so this oh so this is the this is the world in which red doesn't continue on his journey and and and there for an apocalypse occurs and and that's no likes are still living there.
• 50:41
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. Yeah. Team rocket one. Yeah. Yeah. There we go. See, we figured it out. Team rocket one
• 50:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: look if that's the extent of the story if that's the extent of the story.
• 50:53
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: and depleted all the resources and people and humanity died and so it's left.
• 51:03
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: that you know what fine i'll take it like it but I i just yeah no seriously I would like I think that would be something right like I just I what I really i'm not really hope not for is for them to be like oh no it's not can't to it just looks like can't.
• 51:05
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. I take it. I say that jokingly, but I take it.
• 51:24
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah
• 51:25
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: that that that that just that just feels like the worst of all options like either make it can to and tell us why we are in this world or make.
• 51:32
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah. I mean if nothing else
• 51:33
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: it something different because to make it look like until you have to do that deliberately.
• 51:38
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, and I'm curious like can we you know, let's just assume it is cancer, right? Can we fix up the whole region?
• 51:47
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Oh, my. Oh, goodness. I mean, if it's like dragon quest builders, too, then yes, it's sandbox. It's sandbox. It's sandbox's sandbox's sandbox, right?
• 51:47
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: That's the pretty dope
• 51:53
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, right right like
• 51:57
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah, so that's
• 51:58
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: There are two options. They're okay. There are three options here. One is it's not canto.
• 52:02
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah
• 52:04
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Two is two is it's canto and it's entire and it's sandbox. So you can do whatever you want. It's an entire post-apocalyptic world.
• 52:10
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Three is it's not a post-apocalyptic world. It's just Sinabar Island that's post-apocalypse and so the only
• 52:17
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: sandbox is that island and everything else is still normal and you're like, you build up and eventually you go and explore and find out. No, it was just something horrible in Sinabar and the rest of the region is fine.
• 52:28
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah. There you go. Well, I could see any of these. You're right. I'm very excited for this game.
• 52:35
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I too, I'm excited. I think when I'm talking about it, like, because obviously I'm always thinking forward to the game of the year episode, right?
• 52:43
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I think the reason why it probably has its best chance is that you know that this will be the game that all three hosts will have played.
• 52:54
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah
• 52:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And so if it's good, everyone will have it on their list, right? So something has to be something has to be even better.
• 52:58
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, yeah by default
• 53:03
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Or I
• 53:05
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: To even get onto two people's list.
• 53:07
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Mean I don't yeah, I don't I don't I don't I don't see it look
• 53:11
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I look down our list the list or the list you have of all the 2026 really is there there's nothing in the same fall part is as
• 53:19
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Bocopia, I'm sorry
• 53:20
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: If a story of seasons comes out, or fields of mystery, I think those are the only two that could,
• 53:24
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Baby
• 53:28
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: if assuming the Pocopaedas' good, this is obviously assuming that it's good, it could be bad,
• 53:33
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Oh my gosh.
• 53:34
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: we might hate it. But assuming that a Pocopaedas' good, the only things I think that could be to
• 53:41
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: are a new story of seasons, or fields of mystery.
• 53:45
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: oh yeah I guess so but it's it's gonna be good look I saw the trailers it showed me
• 53:51
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: the trailer says to me this is good
• 53:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Sure. Sure. And trailers have never lied to you before.
• 53:54
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I don't
• 54:02
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Yeah, I think the most interesting thing to me about gay years is not necessarily
• 54:08
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: look forward to and what I think is going to be good for the year, but what comes out that we
• 54:12
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: didn't know about, right? Like this time last year, the five that I said I was looking forward to
• 54:13
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: I guess sleeper, I mean, you're, yeah.
• 54:22
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: where Snacko 1.0.

  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Fields of Mystery are 1.0, Starbirds, Hello Kitty Island Adventure and Super Seuss story.
• 54:33
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - Oh yeah.
• 54:34
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: What you said was Tales of Psycue, Hello Kitty, Super Seuss story and Gaucho and the Grasslands.
• 54:43
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, okay, that wasn't a bad to list
• 54:45
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: This time last year, we didn't know about the story of seasons that ended up being one of my favorite games of the year.
• 54:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: You didn't know about Wunderstop.
• 54:54
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: - No.
• 54:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Which ended up being your favorite game of the year?
• 54:57
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: Like there's all that that's what I find most exciting is there are games that will come out this year that we don't know about yet.
• 55:03
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, that's true. I forgot tail looks like you're just dead
• 55:08
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: I forget did it come out this year or not I was always a bit like interesting that you chose it at the
• 55:19
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: time right yeah sure fun is as yeah it's an early access it's not it's not in one point or
• 55:20
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: You change in animals. That's pretty cool
• 55:27
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Okay, okay, I don't feel bad then, but it's still
• 55:27
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: yet um it's uh yeah yes it's a fun concept but a concept does not a good game
• 55:33
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah
• 55:35
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: Yeah, well, true. Oh, that's true. Oh, so I mean you got a point like honestly, it's it was slim pickens this year
• 55:43
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: in my opinion for looking at the
• 55:46
  A0F1C7DD-6517-4BB4-934F-AD87BE5B57F0: Kevin: The list saying they're coming out in 2026. I'm so
• 55:50
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: But I kind of always feel like that, right?
• 55:52
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: There's always a couple that I'm excited about,
• 55:54
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: and then it's like, "Oh, I gotta make up my list."
• 55:57
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: And then I end up struggling to narrow it down to three
• 56:00
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: for the game of the year episode.
• 56:01
  2AC3AA87-5DFB-429F-BE6F-23B5E070AE42: Al: So, you know, we'll just, we'll see.
• 56:05
