Taking Out the Buzz (feat. Peak, Story of Seasons, Silksong, and more)
🕑 Added 2025-09-17 03:01:28 +0000 UTCDoes anyone else hear that low buzzing sound when the residents of Mineral Town talk? Or are my ears still ringing from my last encounter with Mayor Felix? Time will tell, I suppose.
Discussed: We’re both sick, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, what makes communities in games feel alive, games about being a shopkeeper, Neopets, Mayor Felix, PEAK, Friendslop, the secret microphone within the Steam Deck, the word “marvel”, Silksong, intrinsic motivation, Hades II on the horizon, a new Fire Emblem, Nine Sols, parrying and stealth missions, Bake Off sketches, and lunchtime

every episode should end with the "time to eat!" tag

Random request - IF you guys have a history of playing the Humongous Entertainment games as kids, would love to hear about that. I feel like kids point and click adventure games made by Ron Gilbert himself should be bigger in the nostalgia zeitgeist, but they seem really left behind
