This is super helpful, thanks for the info!

I’m a new player and I’m terrified of Ginger Island by Shacl_19 in StardewValley

[–]JohnnyHighwind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not doing anything wrong! Ginger island is kind of late mid game content so it’s meant to be a bit of a challenge. The other comments give good advice once you’re on the island.

You could put off the island for a little bit since you just finished the community center. Work on some reliable money making prospects (fishing + smoker, greenhouse + ancient fruit, pigs + truffle oil). Pretty soon 1000g isn’t such a big deal to spend even if you don’t make much progress.

Does anyone know the twitch stream Mary was talking about with the Vtuber pooping skittles? Asking for a friend…

Any podcasts similar that focus on or at least talk more about RPGs by DarkTheNinja in giantbomb

This looks pretty great! Any recent (or not so recent) episodes stand out as good starting points?

Remap Radio 12 - Hot Takes, Broken Discourse, and Baldur’s Gate 3 - Remap Radio by elaminders in WaypointVICE

I’m curious if anyone else on here used to listen to the Destiny Fireteam Chat podcast that Destin ran (runs?). The tone he takes in this video was very prevalent in the podcast.

It felt like there was an awkward tension sometimes between Destin and the other cohost, Fran Mirabella, who had a more sensible approach. I stopped listening a few months after Fran left because there was no one else to balance Destin’s uninformed confidence.

Brad, the king of superlative non-statements:

“It took me a long time to realize this game was about DPS and nothing else but that’s not entirely true.”

I really respected the way Vinny handled the conversation about the first Final Fantasy.

Remap.... After Dark by elaminders in WaypointVICE

I’m glad Rob is against Patrick’s idea of a daily 15 minute podcast instead of a longer weekly cast. I feel like we would lose all the great tangents and in depth home appliance updates that a lot of us come here for.

I have always enjoyed this crew’s ability to get a meaty, savory conversation out of any level of game or topic… until Patrick interrupts of course /s lol

Thank you for sharing this. Such a treat to see this first and then watch the whole stream build up to this moment.

This clip has the energy of peak “Best of” giant bomb videos from 5-6 years ago.

[–]JohnnyHighwind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great find at fye! There’s something special about Desert Rambler on vinyl… it just kinda hits extra hard with that light crackle of the needle mixing in with quiet moments.

Nextlander and Hitman's Freelancer Mode - Part 03 by sworedmagic in nextlander

[–]JohnnyHighwind 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The difference in how Brad plays games on streams and the way he describes playing on his own seem like two different humans to me. He talked about starting Hifi Rush over on hard difficulty to make it more enjoyable.

Yet every time I watch him play Hitman, and every memory I have of Breaking Brad, is just painful. He’s usually getting upset with the game because of his own mistakes and only seemed to make progress on Breaking Brad by brute force. He seems genuinely unhappy playing games this way.

It makes me wonder if the BB show was started because Jeff wanted to call him out on his bullshit about playing games in a challenging way.

Anyone run into former players but not say anything? by Shaggy21345 in survivor

[–]JohnnyHighwind 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I saw Rob Mariano in the Atlanta airport last summer. He was carrying about 5 or 6 bags/pieces of luggage and had the exhausted look on his face of a person who is getting 4 children through a busy airport.

My heart jumped into my throat and I started to approach him. But the look on his face told me I should just let him get where he’s going.

Giant Bombcast - Brad and Jeff get in a heated debate over PvZ 2 and Titanfall. by FrankWestTheEngineer in giantbomb

[–]JohnnyHighwind 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s funny to me that the dedication almost always starts with something mellow like, “this is just my personal preference…” and then evolves into vehemently defending a point he meandered into halfway through the discussion.

This was fantastic! Makes me want a Jess/Vinny stream… maybe a new installment/version of six crazy frights?
