Game Mess Mornings 06/30/22

As someone who knows nothing about how much work goes in to even the simplest of things that makes an operation run smoothly, is there any consideration of putting the timestamps on the YouTube video into the podcast feed's episode notes? Thanks for even reading this!

@xputnameherex: They didn't do timestamps for anything for over 10 years, but you can always hope for change.

Edit: To be clear, this is difficult for ad supported content like podcasts because aside from baked in ads, a lot use third party services which insert relevant and often localised advertisements and so the timings are not entirely consistent or easy to implement.

bad news Tam I had Covid end of April and the cough and congestion is still a big part of my days. Scares a lot of people

people giving Ron Gilbert shit is so embarrassing because there can't be any Monkey Island fans younger than like 38

Xbox's only play to get Japanese devs onto the Xbox is to start funding some ports. Publishers like Koei Tecmo with the Atelier games, NIS America with Disgaea and the newer Falcom games like Trails and Ys, and even Compile Heart/Idea Factory. These are the games that people who like JRPGs play in between the tent pole mainstream games like Final Fantasy and Persona. For example Disgaea 6 Complete came out on PS4 and PC this week (For NA) after an exclivity deal with Nintendo, but there is no reason why Disgaea shouldn't be on Xbox.

If Xbox spent a fraction of the money they spent getting Bethesda and Axtivision they could help fund a base of JRPGs and Japanese games that would entice fans to come to Xbox.

Honestly, just a list for 2021, 2022 that I would have bought on Xbox if I could have: Ys 9, Atelier Ryza 2, Persona 5 Strikers, NEO The World Ends With You, Blue Reflection Second Light, Disgaea 6, Mary Skelter Finale, Atelier Sophie 2, and Trails From Zero.

@yungfloppa: I'll have you know that I'm 34!

For real though I absolutely love the artstyle in that new Monkey Island and cannot wait to play it. Even if I didn't like the artwork it wouldn't hurt my hype for a new MI game. Especially not to a point where I'd feel a need to harass the devs. The internet was a mistake and we don't deserve good games.

Ok, I get your sentiment about Monkey Island, but you don't have to rant on and on and on about how sad and pathetic you think people are.

I can directly contradict that Steam Deck story. I got one in the first wave, received it mid march. It has the 2 lane SSD. So this revision difference has existed since launch.

I get why Tam is passionate about it but I'm not sure it's realistic to suggest that being a jerk or being dismissive online is incompatible with being successful or creative. Bit of a weird rant.
