Yeah, I didn't mind Xavier. I thought he had a good conversation with them about Fallout and stuff. I think all of the Superbeast guests have been great- Docsquiddy, Suzie, Gianni, Gene. It would have been nice to have someone like Gianni when Woolie was going through his shooter phase on his channel.

With all the talk about guests, have they talked about what's going to happen once Paige has the baby? I'm assuming Pat's gonna take some time off, so it might just be Woolie and guest on the pod for a while

I don't like Plague's vibes.

Like I don't have receipts for him or whatever, just straight up, I watched a lot of his stuff back in the day and overtime, bad vibes.


As for Max, he seems like a nice dude who is good at what he does, I just don't have any interest in that stuff at all.

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Plague is a perennial grouch with nuclear takes on video games (he hates Bloodborne) but I don't know if there's anything worse than that about him. He's just like interacting with that "negativity cloud" variety of Video Games poster here so I just don't engage with his stuff because it's tiring.

Plague clears the bar of not calling everything in the world he doesn't like 'pandering' so that puts him above about 70% of analysts for the kinda people that would call Dunkey good at video essays

the biggest problem with geoff is that if he likes parts of a series, things like dragon maid, mushoku tensei, made in abyss, etc. which all have good aspects to them, but are forever horribly tainted by, say, the author's terrible fetishes making their way into the work, he has a bad habit of significantly downplaying or writing off those parts. he's not a bad dude and he makes pretty good deep dives and funny roast videos, but those aspects of his takes mean I always have to keep that in mind when he recommends stuff.

Yeah this is pretty much where my opinion was re: Geoff. Man is a little too quick to downplay bad aspects of a show that people will legitimately and completely fairly write off due to it blatantly being a vehicle for the author's Weird Kink poo poo. He's got pretty good analysis, he just approaches the medium with a love that makes it hard for him to criticize it in the ways it needs to be criticized in the same breath.

Also I'm also glad Plague never shows up anymore, he was miserable misanthrope who would argue about literally everything and was in fact like some of the most annoying posters here when they have to be right and angry about everything. He's a good artist but he's only one step removed from the "well, if you're offended by what I do that's YOUR problem" types and that just continues to make his vibes terrible.

That said it is kind of funny he won the war w/Pat and Woolie about "I want to be able to just push a button and fireball comes out" considering Street Fighter 6's modern controls.

Plague declared Shrine of Amana to be terrible and proceeded to puppet Paige through it during her play through of DS2. Not the worst thing in the world, or an indicator of a moral failing on his part, but It pissed me off because people who torpedo an experience before the person viewing it for themselves can form their own opinion are insufferable.

Also the zone's fine. Really quite beautiful and worth spending time in.

JOSEPH SAMOAN

Shrine of Amana is awful though. People give it a pass because it’s one of the only ds2 areas that doesn’t look like a hallway from a ps2 game but outside of the visuals it is very tedious

I will support this, but only if you calmly and rationally insist that all continents look like an obviously mismatched shape. It can be any shape, but you must draw it unerringly on every example map.

Plague's Dark Souls LP is still a wonderful work of art *and* a miserable slog of an experience both at the same time.

People focus on the bricks thing but that's clearly a joke. What Plague did unironically was tut tut Miyazaki for making the quillions on the Claymore the wrong shape, to give you an idea of what kind of grognard he is.

I'm sure Pat will take a break from streaming but I'd bet he'll still do the podcast cause that's a one day affair. If not though it'll be a hoot to hear his week one baby stories cause you just know he's gonna have some wild ones.
