I just use Spotify for music so it seemed easy to use it for the few podcasts I listen to. I've been wanting to become a woff patron for awhile, but wasn't sure how it would work. If I download a podcast app, does the app itself have some place for me to put credentials to access the premium Duckfeed content? Or I would download them from some repository I get access to through the Duckfeed Patreon page and then just play them in the app like any other downloaded audio? I like that Spotify updates with the latest episodes of WOFF so I never have to go searching for them, but I'm open to trying whatever I guess, assuming I can hear the premium episodes.

There was some talk of having individual early release feeds but I don't know if it ever ended up happening, I just download everything in the duckfeed early release feed and prune from there.

Gary and Kole talked about gimmick gaming in their Boktai episode, and mentioned how every other game on the DS made you do the tedious and embarassing task of blowing into the microphone. Games still do that, Astro's Playroom which came out last year for the Playstation 5 has you do that a bunch. It went from tedious and embarassing to downright dangerous. I don't have my own PS5, I'm broke and unemployed, I played it on my flatmates PS5 but this game expects me to blast my mouth germs all over my flatmates controller in the middle of a pandemic.

You know, whenever I've played Sam and Max Season 1 I think I played each episode long enough apart that I was completely unaware that Hugh Bliss and Brady Culture were two separate characters.

I love that Gary decides to completely halt the Chrono Trigger podcast half way through to inform us about an argument people are having on twitter about the trans inclusiveness of a 16-bit bat with three lines of dialogue.

I know neither of you post here anymore but happy 10-year anniversary you goofs, from someone who's been around since the beginning (or very close to it)  I still haven't forgotten your bad-mouthing of Metroid Prime all those years ago!Regarding Sonic 2, I'm with you on the gameplay never quite feeling right because you spend so much time switching between those three modes of going fast, dodging traps, and doing slower more precise platforming (and two of those three not being any fun). And then when the series moved to 3D they leaned harder into the weaker aspects of that 2D gameplay, either because it was cheaper to do or because they genuinely thought those modes were fun.

Man that Paradise Killer episode was brutal. I never played it so I cannot weigh in, but that Kole Gary hostility was just perfect. I love when they disagree on a game, really adds that extra zest to the mix. It did really make me wish they would somehow deign to play Umineko. It deals with every problem Gary had with the game while simultaneously being a game that I know he'd loving hate. And I've got the feeling Kole would end up an absolute diehard fan. Anyways Congrats on Ten Years of still making a listenable pod, that's no small feat.

I remember an ad they ran here on the forums I clicked on, they had 6 or 7 episodes, one of which was Shadowrun, one of my favorites. When did they finally stop with the skits? I don't think they added much and I don't miss them, but they were sometimes earnestly goofy.

It seemed really intimidating when I first learned about the game so I never actually played it, but hearing that it's a little less harsh now has me interested. Also this extended musical outro on the preview ep rips.

I feel like they went pretty easy on RE8, where they'd make a criticism but then just move past it because they're so fond of the series, whereas if something similar was in another, less beloved franchise, they would have dwelled on it longer. Like in what universe is it a WOFF positive that the game evoked elements shallowly without actually putting the gameplay design work in? But that seemed to be Gary's thesis and it wasn't damning. I've never been a big RE fan so maybe I just don't get it, but most of the stuff they were describing sounded ridiculous--and maybe they felt it was all intentional instead of lazy or incoherent based on the history of the series, but to an outsider, it sounded like they were forgiving cliche stuff like the names of the mercenaries and Chris's tone as intentional humor instead of rather poorly conceived and implemented.

Kole here. I love Stardew and have played it voraciously since it came out on Switch. G isn’t as enamored with it as I am (that would be a difficult feat), but he had a good time with it. It won’t be an unabashed lovefest of an episode, but it’s not a game we’re going to drag. Expect us to spend time trying to figure out how it manages to make some things that are otherwise unappealing to us enjoyable. Edit: We played and loved the Sims 3 for an episode as well. I think that was E200. Song For The Deaf fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Oct 26, 2021 |

I've played a lot of similar games since that have worse characters and theming (My Time At Portia, Rune Factory 4) but more quality of life improvements. Which makes deciphering my farm and its 20 unshared unlabelled chests feel daunting in comparison, and I'd rather play a different new game than start a new farm. Intrigued to hear how y'all break it down!

I ended up playing Wings of Liberty alongside the episode and I had a lot of fun! I found the story engaging enough and I was definitely more down for the ridiculous "bishonen fuckboy" Valerian than Gary and Kole were. Honestly, I wish I'd bumped up the difficulty right from the start. I'd listened to the generalities section of the podcast before I started and they mentioned that the game got difficult in the last few missions which I did not find true at all, I found it a very forgiving game all the way through. I don't even play much RTS, with the exception of the WC3 campaign every few years, certainly no multiplayer stuff. I might actually keep going into Heart of the Swarm. I'm eager to try out the zerg and I had a lot more fun with the protoss section than those two did. Has anyone played the other two expansions and can tell me how the difficulty is on those? fake edit: I laughed out loud when Gary mentioned Raynor's "not particularly inspiring speech" because it was so bad. "You're all going to die for this cause!" *Camera pans to the crew sagely nodding as the music swells* Beartaco fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Nov 30, 2021 |

The zerg campaign is pretty easy if you use kerrigan, she's insanely powerful. It's a good campaign. The protoss one gets really tough early on and in the finale when doing brutal, but is about the same as the terran campaign on normal. The epilogue isnt that hard, and the same goes for the nova expansion pack. I really recommend doing all of them if you enjoyed the first campaign, it only gets better gameplay-wise. The story continues to be pretty dumb but whatever. Playing Coop is also really fun. They're basically big single player missions that you play together with your teammate, and the commanders you use get very interesting powers, units, and abilities. It's also surprisingly non toxic in my experience, and it's fun to level up your commanders.

Played a few Zerg missions on hard mode and that seems like a good decision, I have to pay attention to the mechanics whereas for a lot of the Terran missions I just had so many resources I could ignore most of it and well, zerg rush all the enemy bases. Thanks for the advice! I'm enjoying the story, I was really worried after the first couple of missions that you wouldn't actually get to be evil and it would continue the bad romance story line but they do a good bait and switch after the introduction.
