I have a thing for anthology movies. A few small stories with connected themes or settings rather than one long story.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Sin City, History of the World Part 1, Creepshow, and Heavy Metal are all great examples.

OKCupid. And given what I hear about the state of dating apps today, it feels like we caught the last chopper out of 'Nam.

I've seen that one in my podcast app, but my backlog is still so long. Might be good for nights that I just want to zonk right out though.

The thing I like most about LeVar Burton Reads is that it's basically Reading Rainbow with the occasional "fuck" thrown in there.

And yeah, Tim Harford's smooth voice is a much-needed balance to the anxiety inducing content of Cautionary Tales.

If you liked Norsemen, I'd say give Plebs a try. It's another historical sitcom, about a group of losers in ancient Rome.

I prefer single voice, storytelling podcasts. I listen to them as bedtime stories a lot.

• Lore (the older episodes are better, IMO)
• Myths & Legends (snarky modern retelling of old folk stories)
• Fictional (when he actually updates it... same guy as above, but these are classic literature)
• LeVar Burton Reads (all over the board. It's whatever stories LeVar liked. Leans a bit toward speculative fiction)
• Drabblecast, sometimes good if you like "weird fiction"
• Cautionary Tales (nonfiction)
• Just started getting into The Program. Clear Black Mirror influences here.

Weak. I just fell in love with Slay the Spire. Hope this doesn't cause massive problems for the sequel.

I don't know Humble Games' involvement, only that their logo is in the opening.

"Soulsborne" isn't a series per se, it's an umbrella covering all the Dark Souls games, and FromSoft's other games using the same formula like Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring.

I could be down for small beer being the main thing we drink.

Yellow kiwi blow green kiwi away. Little to no fuzz, so you can eat like an apple without peeling, and less tart. Also maybe a hint of banana to the taste?

I name him Panini.

I mean, this but unironically? No one should be seeing homeless people because they shouldn't be homeless.

Gathering materials does suck, yeah. Rarely an activity I enjoy in any game.

I can respect the opinion of wanting to skip the social parts, that's definitely not for everyone.

Some of them I really like though, like Nico's always doing these side-eyed references to movies without actually naming them (Pulp Fiction, The Room, etc.)

I'm hooked on Marvel's Midnight Suns right now. It's a little bit XCOM, a little bit Persona, and some deckbuilding on top. Some exploration and light puzzles in the hub area between missions if you like, mostly for the friendship/lore/cosmetic stuff. Got it free from Epic last month, but I'd say it's at least worth $25 or so if you find a sale.

Edit: Also Nico Minoru is a possible party member, and I fucking love Runaways.

Does this count?

The words of the prophets are written on the bathroom walls, and toilet stalls.

Also fantastic, can't believe I forgot to include this one. Not only are they hilarious, but it's fun to rewatch them knowing Jordan Peele would go on to start making a name in horror. You can see the roots of that in a lot of their sketches.

I need to give this one another look. I watched a few episodes a while back, and it wasn't bad, but it was weird. It felt kind of like watching interdimensional cable from Rick & Morty.

I forgot about Mr Show.

They also did a brief revival on Netflix a few years ago, "w/Bob & David". I think it kept the spirit pretty well.

Well they had better take the time to do some unnecessary karaoke scenes. Live action "24-hour Cinderella" or I'm out.
