As someone who makes a two hour and change podcast on the regular I have no idea how the gently caress people either create or listen to a 4 hour podcast constantly. It's loving exhausting. My co-host is usually gassed after an hour fourty-five and if we go past like 2 hours and fifteen I start losing it.

Matt is absolutely not wrong about how long the podcast takes being insane.

I haven't listened to a full ep but all the clips I've listened to of castle super beast that Woolie has been publishing have had so much energy behind them. I really dig it. What do you guys think of the new podcast?

Please buy RE2Make, they got rid of the spiders and replaced them with something else which is arguably more creative and fitting, and you absolutely should support such business practices.

But the first game's remake plays almost exactly like the original version.

Yeah in the HD rererelease you can pick non-tank controls.

Also yeah mel is....he's havin a real fit.

CJacobs posted:

Tank controls really suck and are a byproduct of the era when it was not standard for all controllers to have an analog stick. If your game is paced for the slow movement/inaccuracy of tank controls then it will at least be playable with them, but it isn't a good idea to base your game around limitations of the controls anymore.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:

Just because you sucked at the free controls doesnt mean they sucked.

CJacobs posted:

The tank controls exist in RE because the static camera angles go wild all over the place from a bunch of different angles and so it's better to have the controls be independent of it. Press forward and your guy goes where he is facing no matter where he is on the screen. If the camera angle changes, it doesn't matter, up on the d-pad still points where you're going. At the time, it was necessary to make the game playable (just look at Silent Hill 2/3/4 while using 3D controls to see why 3D control doesn't work with static cameras) but it is a relic of the past and did not in any way make the game better imo.

edit: Silent Hill got around the clunkiness of turning your guy on a lazy susan in a way that RE failed to do, by adding a sidestep button. Classic RE controls like poo poo dude, even when compared to other games at the time.

Toby shows up in that ending the same age he is in game and since he's a decade younger than the rest of the cast it does not take place in the gently caress ing past. The people trying to sell you that are dupshits desperate to explain away the Same kind of gross writing the author has put out over the last 15 years.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:

Dude there's literally pictures of Erica pre transition standing next to Toby arm around his shoulder. You literally don't know what you are talking about

ZenMasterBullshit posted:

Even if it was the imaginary implication Your Parents thinks it was it's still the writer.going out of their way to show Erica as a man in the supposed everyone got what they wanted happy ending in the context of a game who's narrative goes out of its way to make sure you know she's really a man even in the eyes of God since she's affected by the curse. It's just one more little barb on the gross writing and transphobic poo poo that the game dumps out.

Also this is Ignoring the qeird implication that I'm clearly just lying to get people mad and not you know...a transwomen just super sqeezed out by the game going out of its way in New content to dump even harder on transwomen.

Serious question: are you actually this loving stupid

Improbable Lobster posted:

During the course of the entire game there's constant "jokes" about her "actually" being a man and the new ending ends with her living as a man and the director is a notorious bigot but don't worry, "she could still transition". Nothing about the ending implies that she's still trans or will transition in the future! Just because the possibility hasn't been explicitly eliminated doesn't mean that that's the intended reading.

Improbable Lobster posted:

Cool, except it doesn't do that at all actually

RareAcumen posted:

Yeah, instead of looking at games that Atlus- which, where does it even rank on the video game company scale aside from under Capcom, Nintendo and Square-Enix?- puts out which feature an almost requisite moment to poo poo on gay or trans people instead look at the eternal financial superpower that is Dragon Quest and how it A) has the most fantastic man to grace the battlefield; Sylvando, and how a new release is basically declared a new holiday on the spot.

There's only one evil Magypsy and it's the only cis-straight-male-presenting one of the bunch.

Obviously stereotyping gender-queer people as old men in dresses is pretty garbage in terms of representation, but Mother 3 is also a game about weirdos and outcasts fighting back against jack-booted thugs who demand conformity, so I can't fault it too much. Most of the NPC dialogue about the Magypsies in the early game is about them being a bit mysterious but cool people, it's only after a time skip to when the vaguely fascist army is firmly in control that people start thinking of them as weird and gross. So basically, the Magypsies are designed to make you think "wow these guys are super weird" so it can then turn around and call you an idiot for thinking that because they're the only consistently cool people in the game while the rest of the overtly "normal" people end up perpetuating systems that harm themselves for no real reason other than because hey that's what normal means.

I wish Woolie would just upload these in couple hour chunks if was going to do this, because people flooding my sub box is probably the number one thing that gets me to unsub from them.
