Bad Bethesda. Bad, bad Bethesda!
33:09 – Bethesda advertised a nice canvas bag for its Collector’s Edition of Fallout 76 but sent gamers a cheap nylon bag instead
46:05 – The ESA makes an absurd, lie-filled statement about Loot Boxes

7:05 PMYour tweets covered it rather well.
7:05 PMThe ESA
7:08 PMThe Castle B-Plot really overtook the rest of the season, yeah. Finale was nice, though.
7:10 PMI mean seasson 3 the forge guy will be the villan
7:10 PMbad guy
7:12 PMYou’ve played more Castlevania than I have. (read: none)
7:15 PMthe first 4 were a pilot
7:15 PMdisney is taking their ball and going home to their own streaming service
7:16 PMso dumb.
7:16 PMI mean disney wants their own streaming service
7:17 PMDisney has said no rated R content on Disney + and the Netflix shows are all pretty rated R
7:17 PMWho will buy Disney Channel again, tho? You cut cable for a reason.
7:17 PMthis is why Cable’s going down.
7:18 PMthere were roumers they were going to try to start geting anime to help fill it out, but I think they relized most wont meat their family standerds
7:18 PMGlad Pokémon ain’t stuck w/ Disney’s crap.
7:18 PMganaric name, good show
7:19 PMa op slime, the most op slime ever
7:21 PMsounds good. Where should I watch Slime?
7:21 PMand he can take skills by eating his enamies
7:24 PMhavent seen it, from what I heard about the first epasode, it put me off the show
7:25 PMI like dark, but it seems like that scene was un needed
7:25 PMand I like very dark ashows
7:29 PMCongrats!
7:30 PMaparently they are redubbing it
7:30 PMI am ok with that since late 90s/oos dubs werent great
7:30 PMNever could get into Neon Genesis
7:30 PMwe dont know
7:31 PMthey havent said
7:31 PMas to why
7:32 PMNot looking forward to LA Bebop. The old one’s still great!
7:32 PMits one of the most influential anime odf the last 20 years for good and ill
7:32 PMBebop is a good anime made great by a stellar soundtrack
7:32 PMI liked Space Dandy.
7:33 PMFaye isn’t meant to be a very likable character
7:34 PMThey don’t mix together too well, no.
7:34 PMThey tolerate her. That’s about it.
7:35 PMAh, Bethesda trying to weasel out of that class-action, huh?
7:36 PMTheir games are only good 6-8 months later after they patched everything.
7:36 PMthat was a beta bug
7:37 PMThat is a problem with Bethesda, they aren’t devs, they are just glorified modders.
7:37 PMI’ve never really felt the appeal of collector’s editions.
7:38 PMAlso, no disc, iirc! A cardboard “disc” with a download code! Correct me if I’m wrong.
7:38 PMDon’t quite know.
7:40 PMAccepting those atoms waives your right to sue Bethesda, too. It’s “compensation”.
7:41 PMIt’s grounds for an actual false-advertising lawsuit.
7:44 PMStill a lawsuit, though.
7:45 PMthe Infinity Eggs? Heard about them.
7:48 PMDoom and Wolfenstein are made by id and only published by Bethesda
7:48 PMthey speck for companies
7:49 PMoh god
7:52 PMagreed. Unless if the reward is consistently of equal or greater value to your wager then it’s still gambling
7:53 PMFor Pities sake, ESA, you can gamble in Pokémon! You don’t need real money to gamble!
7:57 PMGacha game.
8:01 PMYou can increase Stars from base now in FEH, actually.
8:03 PMgood evening ^·^
8:03 PMHey, Susanne.
8:03 PMoh hey! ^·^
8:03 PMWhat’s your opinion on lootboxes?
8:05 PMdepends. if its cute fru fru eh charge as much as u want. if the game stops “working” w out it or incomplete so not cool
8:06 PMIt’s less carrot-and-stick and more being-beaten-with-a-carrot.
8:08 PMand ur alergic to carrots xD
8:08 PMI can’t take credit for that one – I got it from a webcomic called Freefall.
8:08 PMwhat do you think of the changes to steams rev split? $10m or less still 30% 10m to 50m 25% 50+ 20%
8:12 PMDoes the ESRB do it for new DLC?
8:13 PMin-game purchases on the back of a game box probably wouldn’t have nearly as much of a negative implication as violence or nudity in the eyes of parents either
8:13 PMmaybe if the descriptor was gambling or paid gambling instead
8:14 PMoh really I had no idea
8:15 PMthat makes sense yea
8:16 PMYou have to buy those?
8:18 PMSAME
8:18 PM00!! lol
8:18 PMthats cool
8:21 PMSpeak for yourself, lol
8:21 PMSorry, Chaos.
8:22 PMAndrew Zach not everyone with OCD is a super spy I don’t think there’s a need to worry
8:23 PMever heard of the 23 enigma
8:24 PMI was expecting you to say you ran into the same deer in the mall, imagine uf you did
8:24 PMdude I got a dell, yes I am old
8:24 PMlol
8:24 PMdeer > kids
8:24 PMj/k
8:24 PMlol how would you know its the same deer jordan
8:25 PMYay
8:25 PMwhat do you think of the changes to steams rev split? $10m or less still 30% 10m to 50m 25% 50+ 20%
8:26 PMso lets say the deer were at the verizon kiosk and andrew walked by locking eyes with the deer, you know it was the same based on how you both reacted its in the eyes
8:26 PMI think that was a specific subset of the program, the whitelist.
8:27 PMwell indie devs arent threatening to leave
8:28 PMI hope a bunch of devs do, but I doubt most devs will share info
8:29 PMor maybe file size since bandwith is expensive
8:29 PMubisoft still sells on steam
8:30 PMacording to steam spy guy valve pays 3c a gig
8:30 PMyou know indie devs existed in some form or fashion forever, like all the shovelware games on the NES, yes those developers licenced the game though Nintendo but those devs are now long forgotten
8:31 PMso if you download a 50 gig game, costs valve $1.50
8:31 PMabout 10 valuable ips actually lol
8:32 PMgood night guys! thanks for the podcast ^·^
8:33 PMI’ll be up.
8:33 PMyour gonna make me wake up at 7am to watch you for 3 minuets …. Andrew youre pushing it!!!
8:35 PMis the video gonna be up later after 6am
8:35 PMIt’ll still be up.
8:35 PMYes, once it premiers, it will be live for everyone on my YouTube channel.
8:36 PMSo no worries if you don’t wake up in time!
