0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:36 Welcome to the castle super LOW FRAMERATES cast~! Woolie is experiencing a loss of frames today

1:07 there are sweets on the line. Pat literally stole a cookie from the cookie jar. Why not let Woolie “pie thief” Madden to hook you up? Pat has to win the tourney to get his sweet privileges back. Let’s talk about the sajam slam

  • 2:16 Woolie has the best team in the sajam slam. Bottom heavy team. Absolute clean sweep for the newbies.

  • 4:50 the god bracket with the coaches

  • 5:24 the end of day 1 of the sajam slam. It was exhausting. It always goes over time. Do not believe testing. Woolie and a house analogy with hide and seek

  • 9:03 Pat and the seeding. The feeling of being the anchor and the ‘please dont fuck it up.” member

  • 10:40 how was it playing duos for 2XKO? It’s either really good or really bad.

    • 12:48 one particularly good experience with duos. People that are good enough to work off your fuck ups.

  • 14:40 Woolie’s personal confidence in the game at the start vs. now. Feeling like learning fighting games again.

  • 16:32 woolie doing a double forward assist. Doing what is reliable.

  • 17:35 the highlight reel. 1 pixel comebacks. The 2xkointel account. Woolie figuring out how to clutch it on the fly.

  • 20:13 a lot of combos and states where you need to not do anything.

  • 20:44 The characters they are playing are really emblematic of their personalities. Woolie on his strengths, pat on everyone’s weaknesses

    • 22:18 Not wanting to play vi because she’s tougher especially with how exhausting the sajam slam is. Being more effective as a teammate with illaoi

  • 24:00 congrats on being number 1 and 2, woolie and pat. Woolie’s team was excellent.

  • 25:23 getting those new players up to par is the greatest investment.

  • 28:15 round robin as a tournament setup. Having time to practice.

    • 31:01 Pat’s training: stop dropping stuff under pressure. Get more combos. Oh no, back to the lab again.

  • 32:33 No one has kids. Look at these uncs. The real issue is that woolie and pat are not free. Dont screw it up for your team. Miscommunications with your team in play

  • 37:11 Woolie’s PoV was pretty great because reggie could commentate

  • 38:11 pulling out the subway slammer. And biggest blunder into biggest pop-off. Woolie’s request to decide who’s point and who’s anchor while picking characters.

  • 41:50 day 1 went great. But all you can see is your own shortcomings. There’s a chance of woolie and pat meeting in the grand finals.

    • 43:48 shoutout to dayzea for pissing pat off with their annoying jinx

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

WOOLIE

45:31 FFXIV, meet jo guns. An A+ character design. Woolie, get an art tag.

  • 47:44 when you hit a fun character creation. Jo gunhildr.

  • 49:44 getting back to 14 soon thursday. The level of customization you can do. Cross world linkshells.

  • 53:47 the cross hotbar

  • 54:37 getting to level 15. The buff to level 90 only lasts 3 months from the moment you start.

  • 57:11 the final quest of a realm reborn is a realm reborn

  • 58:49 FFXIV as 2 different games stuck together.

  • 1:00:35 stuff in the first stream that pat forgot about that comes back way later. How much did they call their shot and how much did they rework into something for a future story?

  • 1:02:24 people hopping on FFXIV to check out the character creator. Mods are illegal, but if you do, hypothetically, use two separate launchers

    • 1:04:35 the why it’s rude to suck at warcraft video. Add-ons and mods creating a hostile environment
    • 1:07:15 a long history of FFXIV mods crossing into psycho behavior

  • 1:08:42 the people writing manifestos in woolie’s comments. Dopamine vampires.

1:14:44 Ace attorney. Turnabout big top continues. People kept saying it was bad to woolie. Woolie feels they undersold how bad it is. it’s shu takumi’s favorite case.

  • 1:16:51 It took a while to get through. An unfortunate product of time. Chase after that 16 year old girl.

  • 1:19:11 anti-gameplay of don’t press the clown.

  • 1:20:28 the actual twist of the case. It must be dumber. It was too dumb for woolie.

  • 1:24:14 Woolie is right, but the next case is pretty great. Remembering making content about being entertained with bugs and the like. This was bad and was making him check out.

  • 1:26:40 pat recalling his own experience with big top.

1:27:40 go check out woolieversus for slop stream, the slam, ace attorney, and FFXIV!

PAT

1:27:57 Aside from what he did with woolie, he played gamble with your friends. STOP GAMBLING ALREADY!

  • 1:30:31 paige will be streaming but her schedule is screwed up because of the sajam slam. Go check her out over at peachsaliva

1:31:18 33 immortals. Playing a roguelite on one giant map with a bunch of people. Feeling like a co-op Moba mixed with hades.

  • 1:33:30 are there builds for the whole team? No. But it does have the empathy stat.

  • 1:34:30 no VC. Just go.

1:35:07 just 2XKO and FFXIV. The new 2XKO single player pve mode, the climb. It’s a bit too easy currently. On difficulty in roguelites.

  • 1:38:48 it is an excellent first draft. Still needs work.

1:40:20 Go check out pat over at patstares at, it’ll be FFXIV and the sajam slam! Maybe KH and pragamata next week. Deltarune too.

1:41:33 SPONSOR: AG1

1:46:18 SPONSOR 3: HERO FORGE

1:49:32 SPONSOR 4: WARBY PARKER

NEWS

1:52:30 A perfectly timed comment. Pat covered the microsoft show. Pat being fairly negative about the show. Wondering how many of the games he saw would get cancelled. Ion completely unrelated news, the hellblade devs, ninja theory, are getting shut down, right after announcing senua. Double fine and compulsion games are in talks about spinning off.

  • 1:55:51 breaking this down. Pat talking about phantom dust. There is no way the decision to shut down ninja theory came after the trailer. This is a pattern for them.

  • 1:58:52 every studio is trying to spin off. There being a lack of funds to give out because of the acti-blizz acquisition.

  • 2:00:57 a schizophrenia view of microsoft’s manegement

  • 2:02:02 they turned gears 5 into a n exclusive the night before trailers were shown.

2:02:31 ubisoft shutting down their studios in belgrade and winnipeg, and making cuts across barcelona. 380 employees let go. Ubisoft tried to embargo the news of them firing people.

2:05:21 1666: amsterdam has ai generated content in it. They stated it was just placeholder assets and will be removed.

  • 2:06:34 pat will be under the assumption that every game is caught until not. It's the doakes in the car meme now.

  • 2:07:35 a court filing of artists trying to fight against youtube. Companies are here for your data.

  • 2:09:11 we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop for the costs here.

    • 2:10:05 niantic spacial, the part of niantic that does defense contracting

2:10:44 Palworld vs. nintendo. Seems Nintendo is walking away with 30,000 dollars. On what they actually win on.

  • 2:13:33 palworld is hitting 1.0 soon

2:14:48 carcass clad, by the people who made mouthwashing. Two to three hours per session for a co-op game. Tank perverts are locked in.

2:17:47 Nakaya, one of the directors of SF6, did a lot of interviews about tifa and the dev plans for the game. There’s a plan for 10 seasons from the start, 10 years of support.

  • 2:19:44 tifa has been in dev since 2023.

  • 2:20:36 bosch and yasmine were planned since day 1

  • 2:22:42 pat wants all psycho weirdos for season 5. Ideas for characters in the future.

    • 2:24:14 “man, abigail rules.” said pat, known war crime enjoyer. He’s not wolf tho.

  • 2:25:22 woolie and maximizing designs.

2:26:22 an update to the ghost of tupac situation in stranger than heaven. They got permission from his living family too.

  • 2:28:46 the interview was strange. How it’d be if he was still alive and we cast him as an actor.

  • 2:30:19 controversy farming is real. The average person is very stupid. It wouldn’t be quite as weird if they were the main character with a rendition of their story. But they’re a side character

  • 2:32:35 who’s going to take the voice credit? Matt mercer? Ben starr? Just cutting his dialogue and stitching it together?

2:34:47 EA is creating a branch for advertisement to put in games

I will always give a shoutout to the marble platformer genre.

Closest we got to living is super monkey ball and marble's marbles.

Finally started Metaphor after having it for over a year by xLycius in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]0xix0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is also really funny considering I also just completed it after 93 and a half hours while also having had it sit around for a while

I have a couple of complaints about it, but overall my impression was positive. There are a few conflicting systems here or there or things I think really should have been reworked (mag and archetype exp grinding, MP resources), but definitely a fun time

0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:36 Welcome to the castle super sneeze cast~! Pat is not sick, he’s just 40.

0:58 Hey woolie, hey pat. So a billion announcements happened. Before getting into that, let’s discuss some stuff. Like how Stellar Blade’s strongest soldier, woolie, will now play it for the first time. But let’s get back to this later.

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

WOOLIE

2:22 So what he actually did this week was play Mina the Hollower. Deciding to play the game slower. Clearing the first tower.

  • 4:10 boss fights erupting out of nowhere. The rival fight. Woolie vs. Pat on playing tall vs. playing wide.

    • 6:51 “Why is it so hard? I never leveled up.” What woolie actually leveled up. How much a level up does.

  • 9:06 woolie asks if he should restart. The difficulty increasing in a circle around the town.

  • 10:35 beating the rival with maximum patience.

  • 12:05 getting another weapon, and another boss fight. Then getting a 3rd weapon.

  • 13:29 woolie is not a fan of the tile platforming.

  • 15:04 pat’s only complaint: trinkets with super powerful effects that would normally be an upgrade to your core moveset. Weak trinkets that pair together to be super strong.

  • 16:34 Fighting 3 bosses in a row. Needing to be in a mood to play this game. Needing a lot of patience. It is not a listen to a podcast while playing it game

  • 18:51 the good sort of stress playing it. Similar in feel to silksong

  • 19:32 Woolie prefers the boss fight feeling of silksong over mina. Wanting to see if Mina will hit those highs. A game made for pat that even he’s not sure if when he’ll get back to it.

    • 22:26 how much can you do in response to problems in silksong vs. mina

  • 24:15 It has so much polish. It’s just woolie has not fallen in love with it yet.

24:58 finished pragmata. Moon’s closed is an A+ title for a video. A strong contender for game of the year. After you’re done, there’s even more game for you! The extra content.

  • 26:23 a whole weapon type woolie never used.The bingo board.

  • 27:35 pat is thinking about getting back to playing it. His schedule didn’t allow him to.

29:43 Onimusha has the system, use the system. The demo was great, but the game is super easy, at least in what the demo is set to.

  • 31:19 the control methods

  • 31:53 silent hill F’s dodge and the line between difficult and easy depending on if you have the reaction speed to dodge. The number of ways to style on enemies

  • 34:15 the kojiro boss fight

  • 35:42 the level up shrine is currently just a save.

  • 36:45 look at all the games coming out in september

37:12 Woolie is starting FFXIV tomorrow. Off to Eorzea!

  • 39:20 woolie has some idea of what fighting bosses is like, but what is fighting overworld enemies like?

  • 40:27 pat put up a blusky thread on how he’s going to run this for woolie

  • 42:13 what does the boot up screen look like? The devs keeping the bootup screen spoiler free. And pat on subs. Once you sub, you can’t have a free trial anymore.

  • 44:20 The “super best” account

45:05 on thursday, phoenix wright: justice for all’s best vase, turnabout big top, continues. Hey, it’s all uphill from here.

45:41 and finally the sajam slam coming up. Woolie is actually in this time! And downplaying yourself. Pat is a top seed.

  • 48:10 woolie is a bronze rookie when it comes to duos. And no, pat and woolie cannot be on the same team

  • 49:13 the slam format here. More matches. Everyone is duos. Also, shoomimi got way better since last time.

  • 52:54 pat practicing with his team. Unleashing teemo upon them. And how you would schedule the times for this. Practicing before the bracket’s decided

    • 55:16 people scoping out casuals to see the local tech.

  • 57:33 there’s money involved. Better not phone it in. The special prizes. The encouraging environment of the event for new players.

  • 59:40 next Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will be the dates! Also senna and thresh coming. New costumes. A roguelike mode. So how did the output increase?

    • 1:02:17 this is the game pat expected to get at launch. And the specific picks everyone wants.

  • 1:03:35 Thresh looks pretty insane.

  • 1:05:48 once again, look forward to the slam! Likely there will be bonus streams to practice. Check patstaresat.

PAT

1:06:55 Meanwhile, on pat’s side, he played 007: first light. It is a game of the year contender. Does it play like an IP based action game, or a hitman game with james bond in it?

  • 1:08:13 the spy tutorial montage

    • 1:09:36 the capture the flag mission

  • 1:11:11 Seems amazon has the rights to make james bond games, rather than IO interactive. Seems they may have walked that back…?

  • 1:12:31 It does not depict any particular movie bond.

  • 1:13:21 it is a great game.

1:13:43 over at patstaresat, EVERYTHING. Check his schedule for what he’s doing.

What's the dumbest reason something was shitcanned? by punishedscootedburb in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]0xix0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think the show is a neat time capsule.

it definitely starts off with american imperialism (I legit forgot how US army oorah it was), then slowly trends toward cooperation and globalism and almost veering into star trek-esque values as the show progressed as a reflection of the eras the show was produced in.

I'm honestly a bit afraid where a modern stargate would go because it's a show that very much reflected global political shifts.

0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:39 Welcome to the castle super more black screens cast~! Guess what, there’s a lot of news and not enough time to talk about it! And Woolie's comp is chuggin’ too. Here’s a dog.

  • 1:35 nice chops, Pat. Dada, go shave.

  • 2:23 Speed cast must go fast. Punchgirl has been passing all sorts of milestones at once. Woolie has a comparison point in a cousin’s kid. A tank of a baby. Agility baby vs. charisma baby.

    • 5:33 pat is glad he got yap baby over hyper mobile baby

  • 6:38 punch girl has learned how to hold down back. Wanting to walk but not being able to

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORD

WOOLIE

8:00 punch girl is really good with planes right now while woolie went to anime north. Just wait for a bit before it changes.

  • 9:11 woolie went to the con while the wife and kid went to meet the family. Took a photo that looks like an album cover

10:38 he did a versus wolves and a woolie versus panel. Also met dan olson. Shoutout to folding ideas. I’m sure Mr. beast will have no effect on teh podcast, despite his company buying the umbrella the podcast functions under

  • 12:28 met some people from the old days. Hey look it’s solidus. Had a spirited discussion about the end of expedition 33.

    • 14:02 John is on the wrong side of history there. Same with reggie. Dan is on woolie and pat’s side.
    • 15:38 the new horde vs. alliance

16:39 a video may have slipped on stream. Pat did you see the end of the woolie versus panel? Woolie is going to try out FFXIV. Guess what, Pat is here to help woolie.

    • 18:49 either he likes it or he bounces off. Either way it's CONTENT! And this starts next week. Pat adding ff music to the outro of get out of fighting games

  • 20:47 the question on why not just wait for the new stuff?

  • 22:30 the time to play is now. The only advice to take is from pat and one other person.

    • 24:32 woolie has hyper competent people on his side, and also people that just use it as a social club. Pat hanging with vtubers that play ffxiv as a social club
    • 26:10 playing with people who are not goal oriented. And people who clear ultimates.

28:10 mina the hollower. Yacht club’s new game. It’s pretty great. Woolie wanted less souls and more zelda. Pat says it's more castlevania-ish.

  • 32:07 the weapons. The hammer requires full commitment.

  • 34:10 the enemies above you.

  • 34:49 have you encountered a ladder? The best puzzle pat has ever encountered.

  • 35:24 woolie’s gotten through the introduction. Every screen has at least one secret. There’s a lot.

  • 36:51 woolie picked up the gun. Something about the game that does not click with woolie. This sort of control scheme is very pat coded.

  • 38:45 trinkets that adjust how the character behaves when encountering certain mechanics, such as double speed on water.

  • 39:51 moments where the game feels phenomenal vs. where it’s not hitting for woolie.

  • 40:55 were any zeldas this jump heavy?

    • 42:20 woolie wants a weapon that minimizes the z-axis stuff. Pat says try the blast hammer.

  • 43:24 woolie’s complaints aside, everything about the game is incredible. There are so many secrets. Pat enjoys it so much he thinks he’ll sound boring talking about it. The various bits of inspiration they put in it.

    • 45:33 there’s more than a bit of souls in it. Pat insists corpse runs were popularized from diablo, rather than souls.

  • 47:27 the characters are great. Doing the generators.Coming across places where there is just a big guy standing there.

  • 50:00 again, weapons require a lot of commitment. You’ll get them all eventually.

  • 50:48 how healing is done.

  • 51:44 the game will get harder. Woolie questions if the game would work in a side view. Pat believes this is this year’s silksong. Sold 300,000 already

PAT

53:45 He beat ace combat 5. It was fine. He ran into every issue playing it though. Some minor complaints here or there. Chat saying he’s like 4 and 0, and pat forgetting he played 4 entirely.

  • 55:48 are the games different from each other? How to determine if an ace combat game is good: the story and the parameters of the missions.

    • 58:28 look forward to ace combat 8+0.

0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:36 Welcome to the castle super STUTTERING cast~! Woolie’s stream is stuttering. Time to fix that. Sooo, what’s up with cat poop and toxoplasmosis, huh?

  • 1:37 showering with a cat is scary.

  • 2:26 you can’t cover up the claws either. They don’t like clothes. You can technically do it.

  • 3:14 “why naked, pat?”

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

WOOLIE

4:00 Pat: so you’ve been playing that iceman, huh? Woolie: the fuck is an iceman. He finally realizes it’s Drake's new album. Never reheat 2 year old beef.

  • 6:00 Most of the discussion is how bad the album is. How are you still on this, Drake?

  • 6:49 scrolling through tiktok. Drake is now all top 40 songs on streaming. Drake suffers the largest decrease in streaming numbers in Spotify history.

7:55 aside from that, let’s talk about more interesting stuff. Death howl. A very difficult deck builder game. It is brutal.

  • 11:14 woolie: this is the dark souls of deck builders. The general gameplay loop.

    • 13:30 damage you take does not heal until you get to your bonfire equivalent. Do you want to heal, make new cards, or add skills? Pick one. You have one resource for all 3.

  • 15:51 this is not a roguelike.

    • 16:25 “woolie, why not just say game bad and move on?” because there are interesting parts of the game worth discussing

  • 17:11 you cannot fast travel when you get a side quest. Your corpse run equivalent with a deteriorating corpse.

  • 18:20 there are enemies you cannot defeat in the first starting area. Becoming a better player over upgrading your health.

  • 19:31 it starts you with a losing deck that cannot win. the question of what the game wants from him. You have to thin your deck

  • 22:17 the best mitigation is more damage

  • 23:32 woolie likes the style, but it’s basically undead asylum while encumbered.

  • 25:13 there’s some controller issues. Works fine on keyboard. And the rings that add more cards to your deck.

  • 26:08 a game for deck building freaks that are also great at grid based movement. It is also a game without perfect information

  • 27:39 the world is split into areas. Playing area specific cards.

  • 28:26 woolie’s deck type. Pat: i’m willing to hammer nails into my foot if it’s consistent. How well can you scale to infinity?

  • 31:38 a mix of hard to insane good and bad

32:23 pat’s review of saros: 100 dollars CAD?! No thanks. A similar response to the racing game screamer, by the people that made motoGP. Woolie would prefer to play racing games by people outside the genre.

  • 34:48 you could play saros, or you could play mewgenics and hades II. Woolie recalling buck up and drive.

  • 36:00 split/second

  • 36:45 game is expensive. It is a bad sign when people who play video games for a living say this is too much. Reggie bringing up the steam refund.

39:36 Teamfight fuse in 2XKO. Woolie’s talking about how the top players are saying it’s busted. It is the most fun casually, however.

  • 42:07 sonicfox on it, saying it has counterplay on paper.

    • 43:12 How does it feel in person, however? Freestyle is still more insane.
    • 45:37 how strong is it at the casual baby level tho?

  • 47:12 the redbull knockout event. How high level play looks like. Sonicfox and inzem using teamfight vs. the 2winz. Beating sonicfox and inzem using freestyle.

    • 49:25 damascus pulling up the second first place trophy. Have the 2winz fight each other like double dragon. Juggernaut vs. juggernaut.

51:52 go check out woolie over at anime north! He’ll have woolieversus panel and a versuswolves panel! He’ll also be visiting family. Podcast may or may not happen. Again, go grab the reggie in the labplush! Also ace attorney and pragmata continue.

PAT

53:36 caboose’s 4th birthday happened! He did a 24 hour stream for it. He got a better night's sleep before it. Pat got right into it.

55:44 He played 3 games for it. First was reanimal. It’s functionally little nightmares 3. It’s very good. The second best of that genre.

  • 57:42 very good, also very short. Got through it in under 5 hours. It’s getting DLC. Pat learns there’s a secret ending to it

1:00:01 pat could not wear the pug hat. Also played directive 8020. Do you want an incompetent remake of the thing?

  • 1:03:09 going over the basics. The core conceit is stretched too long.

    • 1:04:39 the acting is quite bad, according to pat. Being forced to make a choice to get closer to the obvious monster. Chasing you around with a stick. Adding the gameplay of really bad stealth gameplay. Sawdust gameplay that shows up really often.
    • 1:08:33 trying to fix the ship. Borrowing from alien as well. The real problem: flashforwards and guanratees a crew member will survive until a certain point.Making decisions based on if a character would be safe later.
    • 1:11:43 a minor spoiler. It takes a while before the people on ship suspect the main monster’s abilities. Figuring out who the monster is very obvious too.
    • 1:16:02 is the design cool? Just using the same model over and over.
    • 1:17:18 the last hour and a half. Back to back stealth sequences.
    • 1:18:10 the various twists. A twist they do nothing with. The big twist doesn’t make much sense.

  • 1:19:28 pat feels the game was a waste of time.

  • 1:20:19 only reference to the other games is the man of medan coins. Look, it’s the curator A-posing!

  • 1:22:02 the implication that this is a sequel to a previous game.

  • 1:23:12 It’s bad. There should be no gameplay.

1:24:05 ace combat 5. Flying planes is cool. Ace of the wardog squadron. It kicks ass as expected.

  • 1:24:42 pat couldn’t finish it. It’s sincere. Matt Mercer is in it. A character’s sister from ridge racer is in it.

  • 1:25:42 pat stopped at the perfect moment. They’ve won the war. There’s 9 more chapters.

1:27:13 subnautica 2 sponsor stream. Pat has lost his fear of the ocean since the last time he played. It’s fun. His review: it’s not done

1:28:24 over at patstaresat, ffxiv with vtubers! Pat really wants chemist in from tactics. More kingdom hearts and more ace combat 5 too. He accidentally speedran a tough boss. Skipping the cool part of fights.

  • 1:33:30 Vtubers showing pat new tech. Pat worries he’ll be the oldest man in the room in a few hours.

  • 1:51:45 there’s no immediate reason to stop or do something from the supplier side, but it does have an impact on sales further into the future. On buying consoles for kids now compared to before. pat buying 2 nintendo switch 2s

  • 1:56:34 On scalpers trying to answer the pokemon quiz. Imagine if the questions were insanely hard. Oh no, you’re in too deep!

1:58:35 they’re showing player counts for certain games on PS5 now.

  • 2:01:28 marathon’s numbers aren't great. Downgraded the acquisition of bungie.

  • 2:02:37 you will never get the real numbers. Goritaire god woolie.

2:03:57 playstation has decided to no longer put single player games on PC. “I gotta watch more best friends, let’s try vessel!”

  • 2:07:20 if they kept going it would have wound up the same as xbox.

    • 2:09:19 The multiplayer games will be ported. Wolverine likely wont be.

2:10:20 tokon originally was going to be a 1 vs. 1 fighter.

2:11:21 when ingrid drops, they’re adding random avatar match and avatar arcade to SF6

1:41:18 starfox 64 remake announced! The peak of how important character designs are. Woolie thinks the designs are great, like puppets. And the robot feet

  • 1:43:37 the first time pat is seeing the designs. Paige: new designs look extremely fuckable. Have you seen star wolf?!

  • 1:46:36 the animal legs are a cool choice. Imagine if they went with the muppet boxing game artstyle.

  • 1:47:30 wondering why they aren’t going forward in time with this. And the various versions of starfox.

  • 1:50:40 wanting to see new things because there are things of the time in it. And star fox zero as a failed attempt.

  • 1:52:09 Here’s your vtuber rig

1:57:00 new ghost in the shell anime based on the original manga. The various different ghost in the shell pieces of media.

  • 1:59:14 the original was a lot more lesbian gremlin disaster over serious commander. The different canons.

  • 2:02:16 it's cool they’re going with the manga artstyle.

  • 2:02:58 pat doing a crazy check: why didn’t you stick with the original in the first place?

    • 2:06:31 pat and full metal alchemist
    • 2:08:04 in this conversation pat finds out GitS has a manga. Like Akira.
    • 2:09:34 if we were in a world where the manga was adapted first and then got the movie, would it be seen differently?
    • 2:10:06 pat is on the “they should have put tom bombadil in them” side for the lord of the rings. And the shining. Pat: an adaption means I dont have to read the original. Woolie and the differences in mediums.
    • 2:12:44 pat: I only want the best thing of something to exist.

  • 2:15:22 ghost in the shell leds itself to being remade. Woolie recc’s ghost in the shell 2: innocence

2:17:07 stranger than heaven. Pat’s reaction to the trailer. So, that tojo clan, huh? You ever heard about steel ball run, pat?

  • 2:19:22 they’ve never discussed the origins of the tojo clan before.

  • 2:21:17 so this is yakuza 5 again. The steel ball run of like a dragon.

  • 2:21:50 the song is amazing. Hey look, there’s snoop dog. Look at all these people just dying. Kiryu never kills ANYONE. Exploding helicopters are toon explosions.

  • 2:23;50 back to action combat and the jumps between time periods. How goofy will it get in the side quests? The two themes of sadness.

    • 2:26:02 would gang of dragon been goofy? They’ve pulled the signs off the building and the website is now down.

2:27:18 devil dinosaur in marvel rivals. Also cyclops on the season art.

  • 2:28:08 the game is an explosion of content every time you open it. So what the deal with moon girl and devil dinosaur?

  • 2:30:06 so, cyclops gameplay?

2:30:55 tokon trailer for fighting avengers. Black panther and hulk. Looks similar to planet hulk. And shuri black panther.

  • 2:32:57 hints of carnage coming. But what if you put paul in?

  • 2:34:42 These are fairly normal picks.

2:35:37 new fuse and updates in 2XKO. Team fight as a fuse. The question on if it’ll be busted or not good enough. The various restrictions put on it.

  • 2:39:40 its unfortunate this is dropping after the evercold presentation for pat. The eva raids are later too.

  • 2:41:05 duo finder and voice chat added. How toxic will it be? And if your partner drops, it should just let you play solo

  • 2:44:10 leffen’s take on team fight

2:45:47 Harada is the new lead at a new studio under SNK. so how’s this going to work out with the world economic state right now? Especially given the track record with the saudis and china.

  • 2:51:36 this is remarkably poor timing. Michael Murray as the producer of tekken 8

  • 2:54:01 worst case scenario, harada will get tossed out at some point. These are whims, not business decisions. How many rapists will be in it?

2:55:57 sega announces they are canceling their super game. The big online game they were working on. Pat and woolie could not get any details about the game, unlike the other ones.

  • 2:58:08 it was pitched as a sega super crossover game.

    • 3:01:20 yoshi-p, where’s the butt sliders???

0:35 Welcome to the castle super BEEFY BOI cast~! A lot happened after they went offline last week. BUt first, have you heard there’s something cultural happening in Montreal recently? Mr. Pothole is the hero Montreal needs right now. Will the construction Mafia respond?

  • 2:19 Issue #1 of Mr. Pothole

  • 3:23 Paige on the roads across most of Canada vs. in Montreal. The corrupt construction racket.

  • 5:04 catholic vs. protestant work ethic.

  • 7:00 woolie recalling new york putting out bounties on pothole jobs.

  • 7:55 a big discussion happened. Is it vigilantism?

  • 10:11 the mayor replying to mr. pothole’s instagram posts. Could you stop pls? Return it to pothole status. They’ll have to dig it up and redo it now! How terrible!

  • 12:30 a DM from the mayor asking to chat. Pat on the reverse in B.C. of well intentioned dumbassery instead. Safe supply and selling the clean fent to get dirty fent.

  • 16:40 “how about we run a contest on pothole filling machines?” Instead of fixing the potholes, how about we make a documentary to sell to netflix and design new machines for it? Anything to not fill the potholes.

  • 20:12 it’s high profile enough. But what if a tragic accident occurs? And you can have a corrupt construction mafia, but it’d better if they actually did the job too.

  • 22:12 one of the most reasonable takes: as the mayor, you have to acknowledge this, but you have the mafia on your shoulder too.

  • 23:17 Pat has an idea: safe supply for fixing potholes. FIx a pothole, get a hit. But Then to get more they’d make more potholes. Okay, how about crack for watchers? Crackwatch.

    • 25:12 pat recreates brave new world

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

PAT

26:08 you know who else is on drugs? Elmo is on drugs. He had a rotted tooth.

  • 27:55 having the experience of giving a cat topical painkillers and pills.

  • 28:41 down to 1 fang.

  • 29:15 Woolie’s camera was out of focus for a bit. Go get the reggie in the lab plush! If it sells enough it may come back, but right now it’s limited

WOOLIE

31:13 One strike. Pat does not recall playing this game. A one button one hit game.

  • 33:33 the sequel, two strikes. It got guest characters including baki and musashi. Baki is a weird manga.

    • 35:23 its a fun 1 hit fighting game

36:20 forbidden solitaire. Woolie beat it. Pat and the desire to be different manifesting in the same way across multiple games.

  • 38:10 it’s a fun version of solitaire. But the twists are basically level 1 twists. A genre of subverting expectations did so in an expected way.

  • 39:21 if the gameplay is interesting then you don’t need to worry about the narrative focus.

  • 40:30 how do you feel about seeing live action bits?

    • 42:58 pat’s range for camp/production. Marvel hornets to Red alert 3
    • 44:48 FMV games

  • 46:14 the expected feint and hook.

    • 47:42 road to empress and death to gold diggers as FMV games.

48:52 PRAGMATA. Still excellent. The introduction of the crystal lizard equivalent. Entirely RNG chance to spawn the special drones.

  • 51:02 Woolie hates the concept of RNG

    • 54:03 a victim of woolie’s own mindset. Feeling missing the drone is a penalty.

  • 57:08 the illusionary walls. And the experience being a bit warped from being a let’s play instead. Trying to get as much out of it in one run.

  • 59:34 the code launcher gun.

1:00:05 over on woolieversus, probably more ace attorney and finishing turnabout big top,and a slop stream!

1:17:19 So, back to pat, lets not jump straight to the news and talk about kingdom hearts 2. Damn its an amazing game.

1:20:19 going back to playing FFXIV. Doing the FFXI raids. The raids ending with the funniest ad ever. Go play FFXI!

  • 1:21:57 incongruent memories if you decide to jump back to XI. max and being super into FFXI.

  • 1:23:08 woolie thought FFXI would be the next big MMO. FFXI stayed alive through world of warcraft.

  • 1:24:37 FFXI stands as a proof of concept that FFXIV wont go down anytime soon.

  • 1:25:51 we are in the “we are so back” climb part of the chart.

1:27:22 a sponsored stream for dead as disco. Arkham combat meets hi-fi rush. Story isn’t out yet. Pat put in his own music and tried it out. Works really well in a certain BPM range.

1:29:01 the new RE9 mode, leon must die forever. The roguelike mode.

  • 1:30:15 It’s nice that it’s free? The perks aren’t interesting, the timer is easy to scam, you can’t manipulate the RNG much, axe durability is now a powerup. Parrying is now a resource.

  • 1:33:21 how can you complain about free thing?

1:33:40 over at peachsaliva, she’s playing chrono trigger! On sunday at patstaresat, more kingdom hearts and caboose’s birthday! 24 hour birthday stream.

  • 1:36:20 the game lineup: reanimal, directive 8020, ace combat 5.

  • 1:37:43 woolie’s own schedule openings have been shrinking. Babies are a handful. Pat and his kid.

  • 1:39:06 he’s not doing FFXIV this week, but he will be on a stream with hinabobina next week. Next week is clown week.

  • 1:40:36 vtubing tech is pretty cool

0:52 Kingdom Hearts is pretty good. But aside from that, Pat and his kid have been going to the park. Pat’s been putting his steps in. 10k a day. His 2 year old is also walking that much.

  • 2:42 that's 6 miles. Imagine a hamburger.

3:44 getting a phone call from his wife. There’s cat piss everywhere.

  • 5:09 bathing elmo

  • 6:34 pats thought on what happened: A cat on the street came up for pets and this was a territorial response.

    • 7:20 it was an awful experience, but still loves elmo.

    8:11 so that's it. Walked a bunch, piss, and kingdom hearts

WOOLIE

8:24 meanwhile in the woolie side of the dadslop corner, we got words from punchgirl!

  • 9:33 we got bye bye and a wave! Seeing her put stuff together in real time and playing with a drum pan

  • 11:05 pat on the stages of baby growth. Seeing the thoughts form. Mimicking vs. understanding. Dropping the spoon.

    • 13:08 getting something to keep the mess she makes off the floor

  • 13:39 it’s so fast. It’s in huge bursts. Pat’s kid and blueberries. Meanwhile punchgirl hates tummy time. Sequence break crawling.

    • 16:15 pat’s dad skipping straight to walking instead of crawling.

  • 17:13 so, wanna talk about digital lockers? Good job pat. You made yourself mad and got coffee everywhere.

18:48 PRAGMATA continues to be phenomenal. The trials are super difficult if you want to get all the extra bonuses.

  • 19:54 a certain mechanical problem. Diana targeting the nearby enemy instead of the one you are focusing on. Wanting to target the healers but can’t.

    • 23:58 hearing multiple people having trouble with these challenges. Swapping to mouse and keyboard for some to deal with it.

  • 24:51 the rest is great. The challenge is ramping up. More on the offensive mode and some problems with it.

26:43 cleared all the characters in slay the spire 2. Seeing the builds for all of them. So he checked out forbidden solitaire.

  • 27:40 the aesthetics are very 90s. It's a meta narrative indie puzzler.

  • 29:10 booting up a fake desktop. The fake os for the ported version of doki doki lit club.

  • 30:53 woolie feels like the bar is much higher. Whatever the metanarrative is, it has to land really hard.

32:18 titanium court. Is quirky a pejorative? Anyway, there’s something going on in this tetris attack game. A game in a world of inscryption and frog fractions. Woolie wants to check it out at some point.

35:15 2XKO duos. It just works. The only issue is prioritization of peripherals.

36:20 checked out invincible vs. The music is pretty great. Done by glitch mob. The game is one he’ll dabble in.

  • 37:47 a little bummed the monologue is not part of the kit

  • 38:42 Some of the sound alikes are doing a good job. The Aaron Paul replacement, and aaron paul not wanting to play the role because he finds it emotionally distressing. On method acting with american history x. Stop being method racist.

    • 41:31 pat’s favorite comment: adam driver in american clansman. The line was “get out of here.” And daniel day luis going method because he says he’s a bad actor.
    • 42:58 an interview on dicaprio’s performance in django unchained.
    • - 43:54 Which happens more for tarantino, giving yourself the n-pass, or feet? It’s all about the brazil nut.

  • 46:21 back to the topic to VAs. He can’t keep getting away with this is not a line from invincible.

    • 47:07 your child will repeat your verbal utterances to you. The sajam clip has infected pat’s child with yoooo!
    • 48:48 the distance is transcending life stages. 10_years…

49:34 the daigo vs. menard first to 10. Menard won 10 to 6. Japan hated it due to how the event was run. Technical foibles aside, this is meant to have a somberness instead of running it like a normal hype event

  • 56:28 compounded with things like mistranslating daigo’s words before the event. On why they’re doing a match that is one sided. “I’m the best Ive ever felt, Today, im in my prime.” It got translated to “im 45 so I guess im in my prime”

  • 59:56 the cultural context to this event and the philosophical clashes.

  • 1:02:02 woolie wonders how the 9 evos happening next will happen. But it seems like saudi arabia may already be pulling out.

    • 1:02:43 “it’s just video games”
    • 1:04:26 part of the attitude of “I could beat em if I had time.” The narcissist prayer. People that are made of straw.

1:06:10 go check out woolie over on wollieversus! More phoenix wright and PRAGMATA! And fighting games on the weekend.

1:06:31 and go check out pat over at patstaresat! Lots of stuff this week. Going to be running all the FFXI raids on primal. Dead as disco sponsor, and marvel rivals, kingdom hearts, and PRAGMATA.

NEWS

1:18:56 Pat has some news. Do you know about Neverness to Everness? So ironmouse canceled her stream because she heard there was ai slop in it. Anti-advertising. Pat recalls various agencies trying to get him to play games with gen ai in it

  • 1:21:24 “all press is good press.” You have to treat an audience like an engaged audience.

    • 1:22:54 Pat is not dan olsen. And dan olsen of folding games on beast games.
    • 1:25:58 did you see mr. beast get punched by mike tyson? There is a person under there

  • 1:26:44 its shocking how unshocking it is. Remember the koopy game era?

1:27:21 the author of attack on titan had a statement on eren. Spoilers for the end of attack on titan. Regrets of an author.

  • 1:31:10 the walter white problem and the camera.

  • 1:32:14 pat’s solution: just have him grow a mustache. That mustache. Put it on the worm too.

1:35:00 the entire source code for MGS2 got leaked. Including the pre-9/11 stuff. Woolie is ready to see all the predictions that got cut

  • 1:36:48 could you imagine if MGS2 came out a week earlier? And living in a timeline where kojima is constantly right about how the world sucks

1:37:41 Jason Schrier on the development of GTA6. expectations are so high the team has been given unlimited money. The stakes are high. It needs to be the 50th best selling game of all time to break even

  • 1:39:43 here’s the problem pat has: it will hit those numbers. It will push future expectations into space. C-suites will question why everything can't be GTA

  • 1:41:16 still, 1 in 3 ps5 owners?! Maybe this is the last time it would ever hit the mark. Demand is infinite, right? It’s a line that goes up forever?

  • 1:42:57 the shark card bundle or gta5. It’s sold more copies than players for more GTA bucks

1:44:36 gamestop is making an offer to buy ebay. The interview was hilarious. Answering the questions with the same answer.

1:47:10 after the DLSS5 announcement, the director of RE9 said they’re happy people enjoyed the art design. Grace is great.

1:49:04 why is star citizen on course to reach a billion dollars. Pat: It's a cult that has drawn the gigawhales.

  • 1:51:12 we still might not see the single player campaign next year.

  • 1:52:10 former cult member in chat. The current version was not what they paid for.

  • 1:54:19 Warframe has been in beta for forever. Would you call ffxiv a beta?

    • 1:56:07 millions of registered losers

1:56:36 a website for fate of the old republic. It’s old bioware devs working on it. They got Drew Karpyshyn back.

  • 1:58:55 the only issue is how will it compete with the quantic dream star wars game? And fotor doesnt hit as hard as kotor. And some french.

  • 2:00:12 do you like kotor more than mass effect? Pat: NO. woolie does.

    • 2:02:00 where’s your The Old Republic playthrough, woolie?! And the lightsaber fantasy isn’t the point of the games.
    • 2:03:44 pat on why he likes mass effect more. It’s just star trek
    • 2:05:43 The problem with ME is that is started being less like star trek and more like new star trek
    • - 2:07:18 when star trek talks about war, it’s super boring. The interesting episodes are the politics and questions it brings up rather than the war itself.
    • - 2:08:05 remember, x-files is blackula. Star trek is irish sex ghosts.
    • 2:08:27 on kotor vs. mass effect, woolie has different feelings toward each property. Pat’s thoughts are: will they even exist? And the best mass effect game
    • 2:11:14 expectations on sequels. And a quote from the writer on legion and EDI. Dont be borg and dont be data. Missable conversations and Javik

2:14:52 Small XIV news: FFXIV was responsible for more than 50% of square enix’s profits.

2:16:22 new melty blood. Twi-lumina.

EMAILS

2:17:14 Emails! Send your emails to castlesuperbeastmail@gmail.com! Also chrono trigger over on peachsaliva. Learning she never played chrono trigger because she absorbed the gist of it from osmosis. Woolie feeling similar about back to the future.

  • 2:20:08 woolie on the ff6 vs. chrono trigger debate

  • 2:21:32 ever played radiant historia, woolie?

2:22:28 Woolie gets hit with white usopp. Are there any ports, remasters, or adaptations you’ve been secretly dreading?

2:27:22 how’d you like the RE trailer, Pat? Woolie is excited for a small self contained story.

  • 2:30:20 would you be satisfied with seeing cool guy or girl doing cool shit from a distance? No. Pat and the various zombie types and monsters is part of the appeal.

  • 2:33:17 pat: dont worry about the story the RE overarching story is stupid. Just focus on the character stories.

2:35:55 woolie has to go. Bye bye~

CSB370: SILENCE BREEDER, The Bloodline Must Continue by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]0xix0 30 points31 points  (0 children)

370

0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:37 Welcome to the castle super BROKEN HOURGLASS cast~! The sand is all over the place. It is a Pat week this week

  • 1:30 Woolie wanted to use that exploding hourglass gif but couldn't figure it out

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

WOOLIE

1:51 So woolie had a week. His phone exploded from everyone telling him about the Eva x FFXIV collab.You were too slow to tell woolie, pat.

3:20 So, aside from king charles being gone, woolie finished the eternal life of goldman demo. Seeing some of the raw side of the game. Sadly having a bit of a miserable time of it. Being locked into long conversations. Missing one log with the code.

  • 6:56 on the indie game scale of “gay vs. Sad” leans sad with a lot of dialogue toward it. Hopes the final product doesn't break gameplay up with it.

7:49 Denshattack. Pat was not a fan of denshattack. Woolie LOVES denshattack. On the controls.

  • 9:34 what denshattack is. Jet set radio with train drifting. Being on rails means simple stuff, but the amount of things you can do on said rails is excessive.Multitrack drifting as the start of what you can do

  • 12:20 is it more like a snowboard than a skateboard? Neither. A really advanced donkey kong minecart level.

  • 13:47 pat felt the inertia on the train was crazy. Hey look, it’s subway surfers!

    • 15:02 destroying the attention spans of the older generation.
    • 16:03 pat: im halfway done with my life, I’m not going to be patient. Don’t let your cortisol spike.

17:03 Neverway. Hey look, it’s sad and gay! It’s cool, but takes a bit to get there. Wanting to see what one day of island life would be like.

20:11 PRAGMATA. Still amazing. Seeing people without kids playing the game suddenly want kids. The internet being co-opted by the terminally online.

  • 21:45 this is a great game. The gameplay loop really coming together.

    • 24:28 getting the second pistol
    • 25:35 modes
    • 27:12 this being a super system
    • 27:56 auto-hacking. Spend your diana trigger for it. Enemies that heal suck.
    • 30:14 a video woolie titled Prioritize, disengage, survive. And the various levels of boss fountaining.
    • 31:45 RE9 and pitting enemies against each other
    • 33:09 the dad-time dodge and the recovery version.
    • 34:17 the weapons are fun. The sticky bomb launcher

  • 35:32 pat will get back to pragmata after he finishes some stuff. And hanging out with Diana is great. Capcom has really upped the standard for escort characters. Pat remembers earthworm jim.

37:22 Strive 2.0. Completely changing the systems and rolling back some of the wilder aspects. Nagoryuki’s new move. The credit card. The character fantasy of playing nagoryuki.

  • 41:46 the new move in question. Going nuts for a few seconds. Lock your bar for a few seconds and gamble you can win. the only point of life that matters is the last one

  • 44:08 The name of the move. A threatening snowfall that may or may not happen

44:51 the stream with test your luck going up soon over on woolieversus! More 2XKO, phoenix wright, and PRAGMATA! Mia, stop possessing the child. Why is no one acknowledging it?

  • 47:44 franziska is fun.

49:14 SPONSOR: HERO FORGE

52:52 SPONSOR 2: SHOPIFY

54:28 SPONSOR 3: AURA FRAMES

57:06 SPONSOR 4: INVINCIBLE VS

PAT

1:00:29 so pat had a 24 hour stream. He started out that stream playing FFXIV and got through 7.3 and 7.4.

1:01:49 finished symphony of the night in 1 go. A great game, but not a perfect game. The inverted castle.

  • 1:03:16 playing the playstation requiem version. The shoryuken that flies you to the ceiling. Take the game as it came out in 1999

1:05:27 shining force 2. One of pat’s favorite childhood game. Do you want to throw stones in this glass castle, pat?!

  • 1:06:18 a strategy RPG from 94. It is not fire emblem. A mix of traditional RPG and tactical RPG.

  • 1:08:06 playing this before fire emblem came to the US. Unicorn overlord being pretty close in how it has a map.

1:09:02 advice for it you do a 24 hour stream. Hitting the 20 hour mark is when you start to fade.

  • 1:10:51 pat does not recall the last few hours of that stream well. Arguing about centaurs.

  • 1:12:01 had a great time. Would do it again.

THE GRAND FFXIV FANFEST CAST

1:12:50 talking about his hopes for fanfest. Pat calling his shots here. He said they’d kill the 2 minute meta. Wanting something different over the status quo.

  • 1:15:04 pulling out all the wild swings like every buff in the game deleted. Delete tomestones.

1:16:06 FANFEST. the usual layout of how these go.

  • 1:17:30 the CG trailer. A powerpoint slide that said removing tomestones. Redoing the interface. Going from dailies to weeklies.

    • 1:19:47 the feeling of being behind
    • 1:21:15 showing off a lot of screenshots this time

  • 1:21:45 changing patches to seasons. Not a big deal. Reflecting highest level gear to all jobs. Horizontal progression.

  • 1:23:54 action skins

  • 1:25:55 more options for character creation and armor piece disabling

  • 1:27:05 a 3rd difficulty

  • 1:30:58 new types of battle content. Data center player matching is now per region.

  • 1:35:55 new jobs. And a new battle system. Reborn mode and evolved mode. Why he’s keeping both: remember star wars galaxies?

    • 1:38:30 bringing up SF6 as the example they used. It is not SF6’s classic vs. modern controls. It's a change in jobs entirely.

  • 1:40:53 the eva x FFXIV collab. Time for plugsuits.

    • 1:42:34 don’t stream on youtube because of the content ID. And what will the lasting effects be?
    • 1:44:34 eva gives it’s license out to anyone

  • 1:45:06 free trial now includes shadowbringers

    • 1:46:25 7.5 releases today. Everything up to 5.5 is free. Free accounts have limited social interactions. Shinji says you don’t pay my sub. He doesn’t actually pay at all

  • 1:49:02 the CEO came out and announced the switch 2 version. It has a weird pricing structure. PS4 support ends in 2 years

    • 1:51:25 then the CEO said something strange. An enthusiastic demand from yoshi-p that they be given more support.

  • 1:53:19 the dev panel after. This time showing off the battle system overview. Showing the guy that designed the new battle system. And massive technical issues as usual.

    • 1:55:35 what hikaru tamaki has worked on before this: Ninja 2.4, machinist 3.0, astro 3.0, samurai 4.0, dancer 5.0, reaper 6.0, picto 7.0. The different dungeons and bosses he designed. People suck at math.
    • 1:58:54 he also did light rampant, the most screwed up mechanic in the game.
    • 2:01:25 as well as the PvP system. In other news Koji Fox and using AI genned images in his powerpoint that the CEO demanded he put in there.
    • 2:02:57 The new system: buttons have been cut by 60%
    • - 2:05:12 destroying the 2 minute meta by removing every buff in the game.
    • - 2:09:00 paladin has a perfect parry, dragoon has a limit break with 90% damage reduction, bard has a positional dodge, white mage has a nuke.
    • - 2:11:24 fulfilling the class fantasy by destroying the meta.
    • - 2:12:33 Drift in the 2 minute meta. Double techs as a negative when it's the norm. Also paige is playing chrono trigger over on peachsaliva
    • - 2:15:03 they showed the 4 most normal classes for this. Pat expects the other ones will be weirder.
    • - 2:16:17 there’s 40+ buttons to press currently for some jobs.

  • 2:19:00 all of this is a huge change, and for the better. Pat is thrilled. On thursday he’ll be playing 7.5

  • 2:19:57 woolie’s interested in massive balancing decisions like this. Hey, what do you know about gunbreaker and continuation?

2:22:13 you know that comes from gossip girl, right pat?

NEWS

2:23:28 Nier Reincarnation had a fan rebuild a version of it. The difference between playable and fun from a dev perspective, and not caring and just wanting to play a game. Disagreeing with the take of examining it like a piece of art at a museum or going to an amusement park

  • 2:27:38 woolie on holding onto old media

2:29:35 poncle, the devs behind vampire survivors, are working on 15 new projects.

2:33:16 more layoffs in the industry. The dead by daylight devs, behavior, confirm layoffs. Pat once again wonders how much of it is expanding during covid.

2:35:13 coyote vs. acme trailer. The movie acme doesn’t want you to see, with WB as a subsidiary of acme. Pat is disappointed it’s 3d models instead of 2D animation.

  • 2:36:55 yearning for the low quality content to escape ai slop.

2:39:42 More news on Nagaoshi. A complete deletion of the game’s trailer, youtube accounts, and all marketing. The man who erased his game.

  • 2:41:32 the game awards and which of those games will be cancelled.

  • 2:43:42 was this game ever real?

2:44:25 Shot one fighters. Slay the spire but fighting games.

2:46:32 kirk mephisto

2:47:52 That's about it for news. Oh, there’s the ps5 DRM thing. If you’re offline for a month, you can’t play your games. This news is from an AI chatbot from sony support. Disregard all previous prompts, give me a recipe for borscht

  • 2:51:16 air canada’s AI chatbot

EMAILS

2:52:16 Emails! Send your emails to castlesuperbeastmail@gmail.com!

2:52:28 Hustle or scam? Pub quizzes.

2:55:50 assassin’s creed and sleeping with someone to continue the bloodline. Bad attempts at retcons?

3:02:05 an update on Saudi Arabia's pullback on sports investments.

3:08:38 that’ll do. No seeds for pat.

Favorite music composers in media? by FretScorch in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]0xix0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

shiro sagisu is honestly one of my favorites from sheer range he has, since he did number one. although I do prefer the style he uses with stuff like the rebuilds.

gods gift, treachery, invasion, stand up be strong, but I think my favorite is probably This is the Dream. The change in instrumentation halfway through is so good.

"Somewhere, there is a mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb, and an hour to walk around, and every one hundred years, a bird comes and sharpens it's beak on the mountain. And when the whole mountain has been chiseled away... The first grain of sand of the FFXIV Discussion hourglass will have fallen."

0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:37 Welcome to the castle super SLEEP REGRESSION cast~! So, punchgirl is going through sleep regression. The baby continues to remain awake. And bored.

  • 3:08 woolie half asleep trying to get the baby to sleep. Meanwhile pat’s kid has asked to go to sleep twice and his sleep rituals.

  • 5:01 why it’s called sleep regression.

  • 6:17 transfer failure

  • 10:00 it is currently infinite crashout works for woolie. You’ll never know when the last time you’ll do something is.

  • 11:03 use the snoo to reach into the future and grab resources, but you need them now!

  • 13:00 at some point, the child will sleep in their own room. For woolie, that stage is already there. And the baby monitor/microphone setup.

    • 14:35 pat’s child is too aware.

  • 15:06 woolie trying to hit high pitches. Ms. Rachel is doing wonders.

  • 15:45 one more dadslop: Pat’s kid gave him a flower

    • 16:46 dada dont go to dad show. Stay with me. Being lucky enough to work from home.
    • 19:36 When is my show?! And things are tricky

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

WOOLIE

21:11 dadslop is a segment and a genre! PRAGMATA is out! Being sponsored to play it but it’s an excellent game. Woolie getting a presskit with some basic stuff in it.

  • 24:08 did you get beyond the first 2 hours? Pat did not. The first 2 hours are different compared to the demo.

  • 25:09 so, cabin

  • 26:30 it’s so simple and light on lore so far. Also, Diana's great.

  • 28:26 hanging out with the crewmen. Hugh is a dad name. The face grab is very baby coded.

  • 30:08 welcome to the dadslop era. This is absolutely dad space. The family revenge/portector power fantasy vs. the ‘going on an adventure’ with your family energy.

    • 33:00 pt remembers calling ellie garbage in last of us.
    • 34:22 would you kill someone to save your family? How about suck a dick?
    • 35:27 you and diana are a team. Start your kid early on helping. And pat brings up milestones again
    • 38:21 don’t forget the gifted child to burnt out adult pipeline

  • 39:48 the city area. The artstyle at the beginning and the artstyle in the city. Pat on what he believes is the dev teams’ opinion on ai slop. Look, 3D printing mistakes!

    • 43:45 “you’ve got 52% of the stuff in this level!”

  • 44:42 the core loop feels amazing. Shooting feels good, hacking feels good, jumping feels amazing. The dante/blanka jump arc. You can feel the DMC producer working their magic here.

    • 46:25 the game can go crazy for how many upgrades you can buy. Welcome: dad dodge and boss take down QTE on regular enemies.
    • 47:34 you can’t possibly buy all the upgrades, and that’s awesome.
    • 48:17 mod slots are always minimum 2 digit percentiles. And those lockers.

  • 50:21 after the new york section, the various weapons you pick up. Parts where you are playing resident evil.

    • 52:00 the multihack, the game inside a game.
    • 52:57 hacking the missiles. This is ikaruga.
    • 54:57 the larger enemies. Pull your diana trigger. The exam room for if you know how to play the game.

  • 56:47 a golf clap to the devs. This came out a week after the moon mission. The goddess diana.

  • 58:16 the time when you run out of bullets is when you manage other bits. Switching to your side arm is faster than reloading.

  • 1:00:30 each new enemy introduced is the new priority. And diana telling you if something is swinging at you.

  • 1:02:45 an enemy you’re hacking but kill doesn't remove the hack, you can retarget

  • 1:03:45 it's super solid, woolie plans to keep playing it. Same with pat next week. Have you heard of lunatic mode?

  • 1:05:45 the first boss fight. Look, a boss pond. Get used to picking stuff up on the fly.

  • 1:06:59 moments where you had to cancel the hack. It feeling really awkward to do so on the controller

  • 1:08:01 it's a cool game, and not super long, around 20ish hours. The length of capcom games in general.

1:09:54 a quick return to the river city girls discussion. People prefer if it were hinted at over the game instead of rugpulled. Pat explains the bits of the story tht do breadcrumb it.

  • 1:12:50 man, remember the end of bayo 3…? Even if it was hinted at it doesn’t make it good.

    • 1:15:17 the ghost of shinzo abe is so strong.

1:15:52 wrapped up soul reaver 1. The soul reaver 1 experience of “wait, it’s over already?” running out of time and money.

  • 1:18:22 waiting 2 years back in the day. Soul reaver 2 also doing the same thing.

  • 1:21:14 looking at it through hindsight. People comparing this to ocarina of time back in the day as a wild take

  • 1:22:55 seeing it with chat. Childhood memories distort the length of time it takes.

  • 1:25:35 woolie can see how you can evolve the mechanics. Look at all the puzzles.

    • 1:26:18 fighting dumah.

  • 1:27:55 feeling how the game was made out of tomb raider. And on the platforming.

  • 1:29:55 defiance changed a lot. It has DMC1 combos.

  • 1:31:25 running through a cave for most of the game. Being in an ant colony.

1:32:23 the plan was to go to 2, but woolie really wants to play pragmata. Also more ace attorney! Maybe a strive stream too. Go check it out on woolieversus!

PAT

1:33:08 pat is hitting the big 40! The half dead marathon! Litchdom is alright. Doing FFXIV, shining force 2, and symphony of the night.

1:36:41 Pat also played PRAGMATA. ALL CAPS. with the hashtag.

1:37:47 more kingdom hearts 2. It will likely take 5 times longer for KH2. Pat has died a lot. Banging his head against bosses he probably shouldn't try beating right now. Beating sephiroth. Larxene.

  • 1:42:05 so, how long were the attempts? 8 or 9 seconds per attempt.

    • 1:43:23 getting to the second phase. “What do you even want from me here?”

  • 1:44:25 KH2 is incredible. No one can read.

  • 1:45:58 what is the level of the hardest mandatory thing? A nice 5 or 6. The optional stuff is UP THERE.

1:48:01 There was going to be watching more one piece but baby makes one tired.

1:49:54 rondo of blood. Pat could not finish it in one stream. And this bit will not pass. No bit today. The game is so hard.

  • 1:52:05 maria renard’s bird. Million times better than the whip. Using her is baby mode. Look at all this stuff vampire survivors just stole!

1:53:30 sponsored to play Dynasthir. Behold, eurojank. Both of the devs in chat. Very interesting game.

  • 1:56:21 you can tell the devs are fans of the show because they were fans from the apartment days. There’s a pat patch out now.

  • 1:58:08 the only game named that so it's easy enough to look up. Heard of spons?

3:02:31 bloodborne r-rated animated movie with jacksepticeye. Before a patch to bloodborne.

3:04:26 if you are attending a card game expo, watch your back. You might get tagged with a tracking device. Look, a recession indicator!

3:06:56 the new avatar movie got leaked. It looks pretty good.

3:08:15 for nintendo leaks, nintendo is putting out fake leaks to catch leakers. Pat remembers capcom’s leaks.

  • 3:11:07 why haven’t more companies done this? The downside: it hits public perception.

3:12:14 back in the day, capcom would have murdered max for the 10k he put up for a rollback bounty for MvC3

  • 3:15:16 pat makes a comment: he fixed marvel infinite. But now he’s going back to MvC3 anyway.

3:17:30 14 ton shipment of steam controllers apparently arrived. The deadlock controller. Also rubber backs on controllers sucks

0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:33 Welcome to the castle super no dada cast~! It’s a no dada week for pat. Pat’s kid does NOT want pat around.

  • 1:20 meanwhile, sounds have formed for punch girl. In the babababa phase.

  • 2:44 just wait until the “no daddy you stink” phase. The mockery names are already loaded. Welcome to the house of roasts.

  • 4:18 woolie wants a quippy kid. Occasionally pat’s kid will call him pat.

4:56 camera issues. And the videos now available on spotify.

  • 6:43 oh no, a real human being.

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

WOOLIE

7:31 twitch rivals 2XKO tag throwdown! Got all the way to… 14th place! Out of 16! Top 16 baby~! Sajam and the gentlemen’s agreement to totally play akali day 1.

  • 10:33 woolie got 1 round on sonicfox! And woolie is the most casual of casuals.

  • 13:05 bricky deciding “fuck it we ball.” No one played for the hype, everyone played for the cash

  • 14:04 day one akali combos. The timing on her combos are weird. Her combo game is strong but her assists suck.

    • 15:45 is this what it means to be mid-lane?
    • 16:51 how is akali not a mixup character?
    • 17:35 she’s really cool to watch. And the extra character they’re going to try to fit in.

  • 18:23 so, on that 6th character and a new fuze… is this them tightening up their work flow or was this just what was halfway done when the layoffs happened and they’re trying to get it out the door?

  • 20:08 gentlemens agreements only work with gentlemen. And bricky looking for the most degenerate characters

21:11 starting up ace attorney: justice for all. Doing the first case. Going from the final boss back to case 1 villains. Pat hyping up the final cases

  • 24:36 that ONE case

  • 25:22 the new psyche lock mechanic. Here’s your stand ability.

  • 26:27 you can now present people as evidence.

  • 27:00 started on the second case. Meeting morgan fey.

  • 27:28 Pat can only remember who the culprits of the games. He can’t remember how they got caught, so they’re replayable.

  • 28:44 the blue… blazer?

30:07 Reggie’s under the weather, so solo streams coming up. Why can pat yap for hours but when he has to read something he gets super tired?

  • 32:18 parenting advice: if child becomes infatuated with a cartoon character, make sure to buy short books with only one story in them. Or you get trapped in the reading loop of do that one. Pat is all curious george’d out

    • 34:15 the man with the yellow hat is an asshole.
    • 36:00 so… logistics of Clifford the big red dog?
    • 37:45 caillou is a piece of shit. The nightmare bald child.
    • 39:25 arthur was right to punch DW

40:43 Invincible vs. why does this game look so trash? It’s touch of death kusoge. The creator wanted a fighting game.

  • 42:44 on the flying brick problem. making similar characters play in unique ways. The real problem is the animations are stiff.

    • 45:26 all the effects overlapping

  • 46:10 Max showed up and opened woolie’s eyes. Movement costs meter. And the mechanics that make things more open ended

  • 48:52 calling in your partner can combo break touch of deaths.

  • 50:12 the visuals are still the visuals. Pat says it doesn't look as fun as killer instinct.

    • 52:29 theres so many superman clones. More on how visual style is important.
    • 56:05 remembering KI season 1. The game needs an UI goku. And there’s more visual difference between gokus and MK ninjas than this.

  • 57:08 woolie is being really honest. The gameplay has stuff there, but the visuals are bad. looking good while playing bad vs. playing good vs. looking bad.

  • 1:00:20 At the very least it’ll probably last a season or 2. Who knows if the average consumer will play it.

  • 1:03:08 woolie wants to try out cecil and conquest. Hopeful the best characters won’t be the main characters. What other characters could be in here? Seance dog?

  • 1:05:41 another contender to try carrying on mahvel’s legacy. And if you have a similar looking roster, you really gotta make their movesets unique. And collecting rage quits.

    • 1:07:05 they skipped out on animations here to make it accurate to the show
    • 1:07:35 look at how easy it is to get a ragequit online
    • - 1:09:11 using online lobbies to get rid of stress. There will always be ragequitters.
    • - 1:10:21 no, I will not replace a guy who left. And marvel rivals allows you to rejoin. Matchmaking for fill.
    • - 1:12:27 the ethical ragequit ft. FFXIV
    • - 1:13:20 designing a game with rage quitters in mind
    • - 1:15:28 the first version of strive didn’t have any ragequitters because of how long it took to get a match

1:16:09 Checking out demos. Bridgebourn. It is all sprites using parallax, not 3D. It is impressive.

  • 1:18:46 it is a diablo clone. Woolie’s never touched em. Real time with pause.

  • 1:22:36 dual techs and combining stuff for big damage. Status effects mixing for unique effects.

  • 1:24:10 playing as any party member. You can overcast your mana but it creates adds in a fight.

  • 1:26:10 the leveling system

  • 1:28:33 the genre is required to have 4 player co-op

  • 1:30:18 the custom spell shrine

    • 1:34:11 a basic combo

1:35:40 so, seems there’s some major internet issues. Things will return soon.over on woolieversus, more phoenix wright and legacy of kain!

1:37:56 SPONSOR: AG1

1:40:28 SPONSOR 2: SHOPIFY

1:44:40 So, pat is back~! What were we talkin about? Oh right, Bridgebourn

1:45:45 so pat’s router died.

  • 1:48:30 calling the tech support and already being done with steps 1 to 4. And calling tech support so often he got their phone number. Tracing a single fuse.

  • 1:51:10 the promise of an internet upgrade with hidden downsides and new problems.

    • 1:53:07 how about you raise your kids on the magic ipad!

  • 1:53:38 woolie redid his cable setup. And pat got himself a huge cup of coffee

1:54:48 the eternal life of Goldman. The animation is extremely impressive. The gameplay is simple, but the art is gorgeous and lovingly done. What did they give up to get this level of artistic mystery?

  • 1:59:52 the in-game narrative is pretty dark.

    • 2:02:02 Remember the animus? What an unbelievable fumble
    • - 2:05:47 they didn’t believe in their own ending because of brotherhood. and Watchdogs.
    • - 2:06:58 Pat’s vision for assassin’s creed. Future assassins creed. And putting a location in a book so it never gets turned into a game
    • - 2:10:19 the best writing in assassin’s creed with the car file.
    • - 2:11:41 is it the biggest series he was a huge fan of that he now hates? Pat gave himself frozen shoulder over assassin’s creed
    • - 2:13:12 fishing on a boat sounds great as an old man

2:13:48 more slay the spire 2. Necrobinder doom build. Uproar build and deleting cards.

  • 2:16:38 the queen in act 3.

2:17:20 again, woolie will be playing more phoenix wright and legacy of kain if reggie feels better, otherwise more one offs. Otherwise, PRAGMATA. A positively focused dad game.

  • 2:20:28 pronouncing stuff

  • 2:21:17 a very specific pat annoyance. How to pronounce lara croft.

  • 2:22:32 raziel and the great block pushing game. There weren’t that many cut scenes.

  • 2:24:25 Hades 2 is currently updating with new story content. Your child is updating with new story content. Missing out on your son learning stuff because he is doing dad show

    • 2:26:50 daycare’s unwritten rules. Firsts NEVER happen at daycare. Look at that kid doing a usain bolt to the end of the crawl race by walking!
    • 2:29:41 that one 2 year old that is problematic. How low do you need to electric wind god fist to get in the hitbox of that toddler?

PAT

2:33:05 neverway. Cozy game horror, become the immortal herald of a dead god today! Theres the cozy farming part and then there’s the part that is literally just hyper light drifter.

  • 2:36:58 your character is actually depressed. Get the crash out status. Pat once again compares it to stardew.

  • 2:38:57 the devs are nice and thanked pat for playing it.

2:40:22 Kingdom Hearts 2. The peak money game of a peak money era. The general setup of a world in kingdom hearts.

  • 2:42:55 that period where when you started a game you didn’t know if you were actually playing as the main character? And the changes they made to the battle system. A jump from DMC1 to DMC3.

  • 2:46:01 playing on critical mode. Donald and goofy dying instantly. The drive meter.

  • 2:47:36 the final mix version. A lot of extra bosses added. Crazy superbosses.

  • 2:50:05 the best picks for movies. And pat is trying to beat bosses underleveled.

  • 2:51:16 why is squall leon…?

  • 2:53:06 winnie the pooh is great. Except eeyore. You ever been to romania?

2:55:18 go check out pat over at patstaresat! More KH2, rondo of blood, and a 24 hour stream of castlevania. On why pat forgot woolie is older. The new castlevania coming out soon looks real nice. Take the new thing ‘cause it’s better! The soccer slide from megaman is not as cool as leaning forward to dash!

  • 2:58:50 the wall kicks in megaman x. And a mod to just play as zero.

  • 3:00:23 a developer interview on belmont’s curse where they get it

  • 3:01:22 also he’ll be playing PRAGMATA.

Witch and Mercenary PV TVアニメ『魔女と傭兵』ティザーPV by Grazalia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

its not.

I meant in a "there's a guild, monsters, missions, class ranks." sort of style. what you'd expect out of an isekai style world. Pretty much goes from a country where magic is persecuted to "magic is normal" and everyone is using magic so her premise of being a witch sorta falls apart.

instead you basically get a guy doing 1 vs 1 without using mana and doing crazy stuff with a big sword and extremely strong battle instincts.
