Pat trying to explain Bethesda games to woolie is funny/frustrating. I wish he would just use the word "generic". They have a general, broad appeal to any and all aspects of their settings and genre. Nothing hard hitting or thought provoking, but consistently satisfying if you have suitable expectations. And I get that the appeal of the podcast is that these two have their specific foibles, but come on. Use a milligram of critical thinking and devise a way to actually explain it.

"Most of the people I know haven't played Skyrim" "I am willing to bet you you're wrong." "My uncle hasn't." "YOU'RE BASING THIS CLAIM OFF YOUR UNCLE !?" "Well I don't really know if he has or not."

The eating section of the podcast was driving me up the wall I ended up having to skip past it. The 8-12 glasses of water thing was just a number someone pulled out of their rear end 80 years ago and you should just drink when you're thirsty if you aren't doing a strenuous activity, and eating one meal a day is just intermittent fasting and totally healthy.

*Walking up to the people talking about their eating disorders* I do not have this problem, goodbye. They specifically said that "eat/drink when you're hungry/thirsty" does not work for them and led to unhealthy habits.

I am concerned for the general health of pat's large intestine and colon if he never knows when he has to poo poo until it's almost too late.

Only drinking when thirsty is basic medical advice, too much in too short a time can gently caress you up, even kill you. Like if Pat tried to drink 4 liters all at once as he mentioned wanting to do he could end up in the hospital. The other things Pat mentioned about feeling hungry, thirsty, and not knowing if he needs to poop until it's almost too late sounded super off. Like I'm a big trash fire myself but that stuff isn't binary, although I could see this being more widespread and it just doesn't come up in conversation much I guess.

Not realizing you're hungry or thirsty until your body is literally screaming at you and you feel like you're dying is a pretty common byproduct of all sorts of neurodivergent behavior (and if not them, the medications to treat said neurodivergences often gently caress with them as a side effect) The not realizing you need to poop until it's almost too late is definitely something I have never experienced without being sick in some way, though.

Please don't casually gloss over how both Pat and Woolie have recently and publicly reorganized their eating and lifestyle habits, resulting in visible weight loss for both of them. A big part of that conversation was "telling people 'just eat when you're hungry and drink when you're thirsty' is terrible life advice, and I know that for certain because I did it for 30 years and that's how I got fat".

Yeah, like, I think many people can ballpark how much to eat/drink/sleep/poo poo based on feeling and common knowledge, but Pat and Woolie explain that their bodies didn't really express those needs at a good pace and that trying to do it that way was a part of their health issues. Pat's thing of not feeling hunger at all until he was absolutely starving is not something I had heard before, but does match the experience people in the spectrum I know have with eating disorders.

To be entirely fair, I rarely feel hunger pangs, and when asked if I'm hungry I check my watch instead.

It's once in a blue moon but I've definitely had days where I'll have a decent lunch and I'll coast until like....drat near 9pm before I start to feel hungry again. Not even a large lunch! It's a rare thing, though. I've always chalked it up to stress.

Pat's issues with feeling the need to eat/drink made sense to me because he's describing having poor interoception, which is a noticeable trait in neurodivergent people. I go through that too as an Autistic/ADHD person.

I'm kind of tired of being made to feel like I'm supposed to hate Bethesda games. They have their problems no doubt, but every time I reinstall Skyrim or Fallout 3/4, I'm guaranteed to put another 100 hours into the game, and I almost never mod them. They're just the best "unwind after a stressful day at work" games for me.

Oh is that a thing? I’ve always had a version of that but never knew it had a name. I’ve gotten better about it over the years but to this day “tired/sleepy” don’t properly link up in my brain. I’ll more often than not straight up pass out in bed instead of falling asleep on purpose. Makes naps drat near impossible too. I suspect that happened while listening to the podcast as I don’t remember the conversation you all mentioned at all; just some chalk talk.

Lol I'm watching the Armored Core youtube uploads and Woolie just clapped the AC Tester pilot, ending his aspirations of being the main character in a mecha anime.

Oddly I'm really digging it. I think it being co-op is helping a lot even though it's still real slow.

On the one hand yes, but on the other hand they didn't have any trap tools to disarm anything, so they kinda had to leave. Granted maybe they were fine after pushing the button, I'm not sure myself if that does anything before the trap is sprung. I think I'm fine with how it's going because they're figuring it out, albeit slowly, instead of just making an incorrect assumption immediately and running with it forever like Woolie usually does. Maybe it's because I'm a DM and watching new players get into it is fun to me.

Yeah, I know Woolie is super unfamiliar with this kind of game, so I expect a slow and steady pace. I also kind of enjoy watching Woolie figure stuff out and finding weird solutions to stuff. It’s what made the ff6 playthrough fun.

I think Woolie harmlessly bumbling through something is fun and funny. Seeing him encounter Dungeons & Dragons-isms for the first time outside of reading Dragonlance novels amuses me. Pat I find more befuddling. I've only watched up through the first 3 or 4 sessions of Pat's BG3 stream, but him never positioning party members properly so that Astarion can sneak attack or popping Karlach's rage after she's attacked is more  . Still funny but man... he was the one showing Woolie the ropes lol.

I would love to see woolie actually try to beat outer wilds since that whole game is piecing together the story thru your investigations/curiosity scattered all thruout the solar system with absolutely zero ui guidance/tutorialization whatsoever
