Lord Remo's description of Calculords made me want to play it so bad. When he was wondering who the target audience for it was all I could think was "Me! It's me who is the target audience!" Too bad it's not out on Android

Android - Podcast Addict. I dislike it quite a bit but am also too lazy to switch. It's a conundrum without a solution.

umalt posted:I use this one personally, and I have no real complaints. So what don't you like about it? Too much navigation of various screens to do stuff. Mitigated a bit by my recent discovery of the option to auto-queue after downloading a podcast but could still be more streamlined.

I'm kind of surprised at all the love IT has been getting lately. Most of the last dozen or so episodes I really haven't liked. In its prime, it was primarily about dissecting games and what made them work or not -- how systems interact, what the designer was going for, aesthetic choices, etc. But it's much less that now and much more of "take 30 minutes to tell a 2 minute story" -- constant hemming and hawing, prevarications, pointless tangents. I feel like Chris used to keep a tighter focus on the pace and content of the show. Now it's a bunch of friends sitting around and bullshitting -- which is fine, if you like that kind of stuff. I'd rather hear insightful analysis of games.

Ulta posted:Cool. Haven't listened yet, but if I would have known I would have sent in a reader mail asking him to expand on his theory that chess is a badly designed game. That's actually not an outlandish theory. Not sure if this is his reasoning, but among a subset of IM and higher level players (who still like chess, natch), the thought is that chess relies too much on memorizing opening lines, and that the advantage tends to go to who has memorized the most variety and to the max depth of various openings, rather than who is the best strategic / tactical player. Hence such things as Bobby Fisher's invention of Chess960

zapjackson posted:David Sirlin talked about this some on the first episode of his new podcast, which I like a lot so far. It's very much design-focused, so if that's your thing, then... maybe it's your thing. That looks really interesting, will definitely check it out. Thanks!
