Giant Bombcast 637: Slow Off King

Was curious about Jeff's take on the week. Sad he wasn't on.

@deanofpsu: People should hear the start of the show. Not sure why you would do that.

@heelmaggle: I recognize that a lot of people are interested in what the various people who make this site great have to say on this topic. They can and should talk about it if that's what they want to do. I skipped the first 11-12 minutes though, for the same reason I don't watch most of the videos that go up. I'm not interested in their opinions on topics not involving video games, energy drinks, bats, and knives. I don't dismiss the quality or validity of what they have to say, but not everything they do needs to be for me.

God, life must be really hard for you.

Great to hear from Austin and Vinny in a Bombcast!

Thank you Giant Bomb..and special thanks to Austin joining this week...You will always be Giant Bomb to me too brother. (Hoping Vinny can convince you to join a Tabletopia stream *crossing fingers*) The content during this year has been some great escapism from the crazy reality that is 2020. Thank you all for spreading positivity, for raising money for charity and noble causes, and also I appreciate you all taking a break from the regular schedule to make a stand in solidarity.

Austin's energy is exhilarating. Welcome back, buddy!

Peanut and jelly mixed together on the same slice in a sandwich tastes better, than peanut and jelly on two different slices and slapped together. :))

As it's now usual, the "games we're currently playing" section was so long that I just had to skip it. I don't know about others but I think that section would be a lot more interesting if it was presented more concisely.

@Brad - Hell yeah banana/mayo sandwich. Throw some buffalo tabasco in there as well and it’s golden. I made that as a goof one night due to lack of other stuff and realized I had made something real special.

I will always appreciate Austin's ability to discuss a touchy subject without coming off as preachy, whiny, or self righteous, even when the opposite end of his stance is reserved for people who could not possibly be correct (their "racism is okay" to Austin's "racism is bad"). Maybe because he is so well spoken and always sounds like he's in a good mood? I dunno.

I've always thought the ice cubes with holes in them was for holding your straw.

This episode was terrific. Haven't heard a bombcast for a while, mostly because earbuds got banned at my job (even though I've worked with them for years with no problem) so I'm behind on a bunch of podcasts. Always love having Austin around even though I do still listen to Waypoint when I can. Keep up the great work ya'll and remember that Black Lives Matter.

At about 22 minutes, Jan's looking a little pale, but Ben is looking great!

This is a fun mix of folks. Black Lives Matter.

Austin & Vinny together again!

I like how Brad said how Klei hasn't made a sequel immediately after they finished talking about Don't Starve. They made Don't Starve Together. I guess you could argue it's not a sequel, but it is its own separate game.

I agree that the ACNH island representative/multiple players system is awful, but Vinny is so incredibly hyperbolic about it. I was also a secondary player, because it's my brother's Switch. It takes like a minute, 90 seconds at most, to save, exit, and reload the game as the primary account. Yes, It's a pain, and it should be different, but it is not some arduous task to go push things forward on the island rep account and then switch back.

Uhh what? Crushed ice all the way, every time. Ice cubes suck.

Ben jokes "SEGA is making a mini console that plays old games!" but that's actually what the Sega story ended up being right? The Game Gear micro or whatever.

I made "The Vinny" - PB&J plus cream cheese - just now and it's pretty damn good!

Actually, you are totally dismissing the validity by ignoring it and you aren't treating them as real people. BLM
