Aspro, just listened to the new GU podcast. I noticed you're using a new streaming platform and for me the quality seems worse. I always listen while driving and a lot of words got chopped off, probably due to bandwith issues. Never had that happen before though.

Yeah, I initially thought I was having connection issues with my Bluetooth headphones, lol.

Yeah truly sorry about that. It was limited to the last show as I was at the holiday house with bad bandwidth using linux laptop, won't happen again. Recording next show on Monday in usual setup.

Why would Octoath Traveller be de-listed from E-shop and then brought back a month later???

Inappropriate content in the original? Song licensing issue?  Weird...

I saw an article saying it was because Nintendo was the OG publisher but now rights have gone back to Square Enix.

But the developer Acquire was bought by a different company shortly before it was delisted.

Ah, okay, that makes sense.

Fallout TV Series Officially Renewed for Season 2 on Prime Video

Just a week after its premiere, Prime Video has officially renewed Fallout for a second season, the streaming platform announced today.



Prime lists it as its number one ranked show which is all well and good, but I think a bigger indicator of its success is that Google has it ranked as the most searched TV show right now. So clearly there is a lot of interest in it. I suspect this will end up being Prime's biggest TV series, more so than their Lord of the rings prequel.

I watched the first episode last night and it was good, not like great, but I'll stick with it.  I realise now I am of the age where I see an old actor like Kyle Mcloughlin (or whatever his name is from Twin Peaks) and go "Ah that's that guy from that show 30 years ago" which is what my parents and aunts and uncles did when watching Airplane and similar movies.  Getting old sucks.

That's basically how I feel about the show after three episodes. It's good. Good enough to keep watching, but not so good that I feel compulsed to immediately watch another episode after I finish one.

I've been lurking a lot lately. Work is taking its toll and I just don't feel motivated to post because I'm mentally checked out when I get home.  I'm hoping that will change soon.

Sorry to hear it man. Hopefully things will get better in another month or so when you get a break.

Okay, quick update on the Fallout TV show. Episode 4 is the game changer apparently. Once episode 4 hits it goes from a good show to "I need to watch the episode and find out what happens now!"

Hopefully it's just fatigue man. I have plenty of that right now.  At least you are going into warm weather, I'm going into Fall/ Winter down here which always bums me out (less sunlight hours).

I hope summer weather gets here fast. Spring allergies have been really messing me up.

Well then, I'm at episode 3 and so far it's great. Really makes me want a new fallout. Fallout game sales are skyrocketing everywhere. They knocked this one out of the park

allergies have never really been a problem for me up until this year. I don't know what the hell is in the air this year, but I've been miserable this spring.

Okay, this weekend was rainy, so despite all my efforts to work I ended up with more time to game.

Checked out the Switch sale and got Pac Man Championship Edition 2 for $4.  Also got two demos Inazuna Eleven 15 and Dave the Diver (ended up buying it after playing the demo.  Inazuna I respected, but it's not for me. It's more of a turn based strategy game, which is a difficult paradigm to graft onto a sports game (at least while you are learning). I've short changed it no doubt, it was early access, but not for me.

Pac Man CE2, not as good as CE1, but still has enough of that Pac Man greatness for me to have played about 3 hours of it in the last 12 hours Nyaa

I was prepping the artwork for tomorrow's podcast on which I'll be talking about Princess Peach Showtime, so used an AI generator.  I used this as a seed image:

and told it I wanted a dystopian photograph version of it.

I thin kit did pretty well given the challenge!

Great game. I really enjoyed the new mechanics. Not sure why, but I haven't played it in years. I need to remedy that soon.

It's strange, I don't remember anything about CE2. I think I remember not liking it as much as the original, but my memories of it are so non-existent, I'm wondering if I've actually played it.

Have you ever been really into the music of a certain group, only to drop them like a hot potato, then rediscover them years or even decades later? Thats me with Pearl Jam. I just completely stopped listening to them after their fourth album, just didn't appeal to me. Recently, I was watching The Bear and one of their songs was played in the episode and reignited my love for the band again. I played the fifth album and it's brilliant. I stopped listening to them way too soon. They even released a new album on Friday, but you may not be aware because Taylor released an album on that day as well. I will eventually get to the rest of their discography.
