@mrmckrinkledink: In Dark Descent, your start out with a similar mechanic to matches in the form of tinderboxes. You can't use them to make light themselves, but you use them to light candles, stationary lanterns, etc... And you could only use them on a single item. You get the lantern a little later. I think you also get a lantern in Rebirth eventually, but not sure on when or if it functions like the dark descent one. Seems like it might be further in than the lantern in DD which might be what is so annoying about the matches -- you are stuck with them a while.
And just to comment on the critiques of the mechanic in the QL. I agree that the matches and immovable candles/lantern isn't the greatest mechanic. But it seems to be a direct improvement over the tinderboxes. At least with matches you can use them to light several nearby things and they make their own light. It ain't great, but it is no worse than Dark Descent in that regard (and I really loved Dark Descent as a whole). It has been years so slight chance I am misremembering how tinderboxes worked, haha.
@ybbaaabby Hey Abby, just so you know you can find the whole episode of Conan in South Korea (as well as a few of his other abroad episodes) on Netflix under "Conan Without Borders". The South Korea one is great!
Kinda weird because some of the episodes are only on Netflix, some are on only TBS's website, the Italy one is on both, and some are on neither. They are all worth hunting down though!
Bioshock Infinite was really well received right when it came out. I thought the gun play was kinda meh, but the world building, lore, and story was more than enough to make up for it. Such a neat world to explore and scenery to marvel at. I would have preferred it to be 90% exploration and 10% combat instead of 60% combat and 40% exploration but whatever, still a great game. For whatever reason, there has been a big surge in the amount of people hating on it over the past 2 years or so. Really don't understand why but it went from a game that seemed to have universal praise to one that was portrayed as mediocre. Regardless of the trend to criticize it, I would definitely recommend it.
That said, I would kill for a full playthrough of Bloodbourne -- or at least a good chunk of it.
What stream are Jeff and Vinny talking about at the beginning with the FMVs? That sounds like a stream I should have seen, but I don't see any recent streams that match that description.
If anyone is curious about the water droplet tech that Vinny mentioned, I think he is talking about this: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/26/science/water-droplets-dance.html
There is also some similar tech shown off here from MIT scientists in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv1sUHnaGVI
