Greg did a better job selling me on Death Stranding than anyone associated with Death Stranding did.

Great ep and good to hear DT after so long! And that was a Draper level pitch for Death Stranding that has totally turned me around to playing it ... when it’s on sale

I also related to theHarpoMarxist talking about embracing non-optimisation — I did that recently in Jedi Fallen Order after dropping down to easy mode and chose abilities that looked the most fun rather than strategically useful. Disco Elysium practically begs you to embrace the fail and I loved it more for that.

Jay writing about Earthworm Jim has a future in click-bait article writing.

And Amanda, get yourself GameSave Manager, and create backups of the save files so you don't loose saves anymore and can restore old saves in case you do something that breaks the game.

Harpo doesn't realize that he's still optimizing, he's just optimizing FOR FUN!!!

This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine in cities where the etiquette is to stand on the right and walk on the left on escalators.

I love letting myself off the hook for this and not looking at guides. But try telling my Fire Emblem students that who keep losing there sh*t that this is "fun."

"Hey, did you lose this item?"

"NO PROFESSOR. THAT'S NOT MINE. OMG YOU DON'T KNOW ME."

*Bayleth shrugs*

This week's call made me realize I had no idea what Death Stranding was about other that Reedus was in it.
I honestly assumed it was Metal Gear like but with a Boondock Saint.

I'm glad there was some discussion of Death Stranding, because It ended up being one of my favorites. It's one of those games I missed playing after I was done.

The more I hear about it the more it feels there is something there. Kojima’s pretentiousness is a big turn off for me though.

Is there a catch-all thread for Death Stranding?

Asking for a friend.
