Mouthwashing, UFO 50 | Noclip Crewcast

[@mattcy6591]

UFO50 deserves it's own The Game Awards

[@AmateurHuman19]

Oh my glob this is an amazing idea, they should do a pod about their UFO 50 GOTY

[@GardinerAlan]

An American saying the portions somewhere else were too big. Damn, they must've been massive!

[@chelseaheckabad]

I can't stop thinking about Mouthwashing.

[@skrillzplayz9092]

My irl friend worked on the level design and when you talked about it, holy we got so hype!

[@rimmeh6409]

Expect big things from that friend of yours. 🎉

Great final question and discussion. As someone who pours hours into the games I enjoy I find that whether or not you are being taught a worthwhile lesson you can pull valuable insights from subtextual elements and mechanical elements. I’ve been replaying battlefield 1 and fallout 4 recently and it has been very entertaining to dissect the perspectives they are presenting intentional or otherwise.

[@fivetwoeighty7012]

I am no more than an hour into mouthwash, and man this game is cool. The data moshing, the play on liminal spaces, the cheesy horror tropes, the references to horror gaming masterpieces. Damn, this game’s good.

[@fivetwoeighty7012]

Just finished, stayed strong throughout, am feeling a tad sick so the body horror stuff was making me feel a bit queasy, but I guess that’s the point.

[@syphyt808]

36:54 AHAHAHA Jesse's face, he thought that title was going in a completely different direction 😂

[@th35leeper56]

dude, Miyazaki and aphex... best intro ever!

[@gbcran1882]

I grew up playing Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? (1997) and those Magic School Bus PC games. It's funny how often I recall things I learned from those games.

[@FrenziedManbeast]

Can we all go in together and get Jeremy a goddamned air conditioner? Heat pumps aren't bad for the environment my friend.

[@jeremybjayne]

lmao that's very kind of you. I have a huge box fan that does the trick even when its 100*F, but it's too loud to run during the podcast

[@cooperm211]

Also a professional teacher and hobbiest game dev and I do agree with Danny's take. But the biggest obstacle for (I teach 16/17 year olds) kids learning stuff is usually that they don't care about the thing, not that it's too hard to learn it. And even surface level games can help with that. I don't teach physics, but if I did I'd prob start with getting them playing vector/angle/force kinda games early, so they have a little more interest and context before dropping some formulae. It's not gonna teach them physics, but it's gonna crack the egg shell.

[@mattcy6591]

Walkabout Minigolf gang! Dude it's so good to play socially in VR. Only one hand needed to play so you always have one hand free for a beer. The courses are all amazing in different ways.

[@AirMaster97]

Dude I just know I'd be stuck fighting for SMEG during the great refrigerator wars

[@nhrrsn]

I saw Mouthwashing recommended by one of the Signalis devs. Between that and the conversation here, im looking forward to trying it out! The last game I saw recommended by the Signalis devs was 1000XResist which was one of my favourite games from this year.

[@ProfessorStaircase]

The latest meta for educational games right now are game services like blooket and gimkit that expand on what kahoot does of making quizzes out of flash cards/questions a teacher brings to the program, where students can compete for a high score in games that require answering questions to get xp/currency/etc to progress in the game. Some are pretty fun in their own right, with clones of games like vampire survivors even. The kids genuinely enjoy doing them and it’s flexible to literally any subject you want which is mega convenient but def not the same as a game built ground up to educate you on something specific.

[@AmateurHuman19]

Aphex Twin shirt and the tele in the background, I love you Jeremy 💓 oh also Danny is back, that's cool 😅

[@LouerTube]

Re: Educational Games. I did ancient history at university for like 6 months, and playing Assassin's Creed Odyessy and Origins were recommended by the module leaders because the realisations of antiquity were good enough to learn something from.

[@R17759]

Maybe in the tourist mode or whatever it is called. But I don’t think playing the game will really teach you much.

[@LouerTube]

@@R17759 I think it was specifically that mode, I can't remember

[@huzi990]

1:10:03 for Danny digging himself a deep grave lmao

[@sarahbalman460]

Love Walkabout Mini Golf!

[@totlyepic]

A great game I think has slipped under your radars (and that is also incidentally educational, so sort of on-topic) is Judero. The game's assets are built from claymation shots and it takes you through a bunch of Scottish folklore. Super interesting game that isn't getting enough love. And a second recommendation (with some caveats), specifically for Jeremy's need for a fighting game with connective bits between the fights, is For Honor, the Ubisoft game from a few years ago. It's a weird one to recommend for a lot of reasons, but its fighting systems are genuinely fantastic, whatever other problems the game may have, and the transition between fighting and running around is seamless. The game did a lot right, and given it came out of Ubisoft, it's all even more surprising.

[@Furitenma]

It took them so long to finally talk about MvCC. Only Frank knows the weight that game has on the fighting game community.

[@shrimp_boogaloo]

cool half life tee

[@Spenerico]

Intro item off is back! The winner is Jesse’s BBQ Munchies

[@jumpideus9218]

Chameleon is actually called Camouflage…

[@jesseguarascia]

LOL Honestly that makes way more sense my bad

[@SamSmithNZ]

Still no mention of Satisfactory? It moved from early access to v1.0 three weeks ago, has been in the top 10 most played on Steam since. The community managers managed it's development wonderfully, and it has very few bugs. By all respects, it was a model for how game development should happen.

[@totlyepic]

I don't really think a crafting/automation game is particularly interesting just because it had smooth development tbh.

[@fivetwoeighty7012]

They talk about the games they’ve played during the week, not necessarily widely successful games.

[@MechabitGames]

been up an hour an no comments yet?
