The PodCats - Episode 6 - I Am Martin Prince

[@dragmire3D]

I like the idea of Jon and Dan sending Matt flowers and plants for all occasions. They should send him roses so he can dry them and hang them on his wall! Imagine him streaming with a wall of dried roses hanging upside down behind him and never acknowledging it.

[@huttj509]

My response to 6 minutes in: Because we know *nobody else* on this podcast has ever been doing a livestream and then realized they misread the embargo email....

[@mountainmolly2726]

I think we know what the next Fallout 4 series is going to be now. 😂

[@hugmonger]

Its going to be a Fallout 4 playthrough with lots of porn mods where the challenge is not getting banned from youtube

[@gamertrojan4038]

Hedgehogs lots of mutant Hedgehogs.

[@IAmHoTSHoTzz]

The only podcast that I care about missing, and have to listen to, the moment a new episode releases. You lot are such nonsense characters, it's very relatable.

[@dragmire3D]

Was crying near the end! Holy shit, it's always fun to hear people discover the, uh, 'diversity' on the Nexus. It's also funny to hear them talk about it as if it's somehow most prominent on Fallout 4. Maybe they'll discover Skyrim next time!

[@kabobawsome]

Wait until they find out about Lover's Lab.

[@hugmonger]

Also... they were saying CBBE is 1/12 players, but that misses that there are like 2 other HUGELY popular texture titty mods.

[@jpuroila]

In all fairness, as Dan himself noticed CBBE isn't JUST a tittymod, but also the mod you want if you're just looking to make humans generally better looking.

[@jerryfcooper]

I watch MATN videos until I fall asleep - and beyond

[@SabertoothSeal]

For anyone who wanted a more practical answer to Jon's question about Star Trek planets, "M-Class" ranges from Vulcan, a hot, dry desert planet that humans can live on comfortably with moderate accomodations (think a planetary average of Arizona or Egypt) to Andoria, an ice moon where humans are recommended to wear heavy insulating jackets at all times when outside (think a planetary average of Alaska or Siberia). Marginal planets have their own unique designations (K and L), as do gas giants (J and T class) and planets where biological life in any form is physically impossible (Y or "Demon" Class). Jon's ocean planet with one desert island would probably be K class, as it is technically habitable but requires extensive habitat construction to be livable.

The most recent seasons of The Simpsons have been a return to form. They've had some very emotional episodes that will not feel out of place in earlier seasons. "The Wayz We Were" and "Pixelated and Afraid" are both very good episodes for emotional impact. And then "A Serious Flanders" is a non-canon two-parter which is also very good. Those are just this season alone and I highly recommend them when they come to the UK. Al Jean, who has been the showrunner since season 13, has been taking more of a back seat recently whilst Matt Selman has been showrunning a majority of episodes now. Which is a big part of the reason the show has been getting better again.

[@Hendlton]

I really didn't mind the RDR2 stuff. Once you stock up on random canned goods, you never have to do it again. And if you really are too lazy to pick stuff up, you can also just go to the general store and buy it. A can of beans costs like $1 and you literally have thousands of dollars in the second half of the game. The only stupidly unneeded realism I found was with the treasure maps. You had to search through like 3 different menus to find the one you want, and if you got it wrong you'd have to go through it all again, and then you put away the map, and you have to go through the entire hassle again if you want to look at it again... ugh. Anyway, the sheer greatness of the world and the story and the characters overshadows any annoying little issues I had with it.

[@crickett3536]

I'm playing Pokemon Legends while listening and I still love it, no matter the graphics. Hell, I only occasionally noticed the issues because I am so. Damn. Happy 😃

[@CommissarMitch]

Stadia was dead in my eyes when it was released. The fact people talked about it 11 days ago is amazing to me.

[@CommissarMitch]

The end of this episode is top tier.

[@kitrana]

i feel like jon doesn't understand the concept of how if you have a fireplace and an open door it lets the heat out but if you close the door you can keep a single room warmer then otherwise.

[@majogl188]

Circle of life is the best song from a disney movie, period...

[@kabobawsome]

Would like to note that the misspellings in Legends Arceus aren't spaghetti code, it's a pointer error, which is a Switch hardware issue. That's why is seems to be semi-consistent.

[@thebpphantom]

Fallout 4: Boobocalypse run when?

[@Crazybean2012]

In Matt's defense, I also got excited about the Trello board

[@Xorua]

Glad to see adequate Glup Shitto representation in this episode

[@Felice_Enellen]

The reason you guys think HZD is just another game is because you all quit before getting into the story. Functionally, it's just an ubi-like. Story-wise, it gets excellent after a while.

[@yorkshirebhoy4049]

I've got to be honest I've always struggled to get past DS9 season 1 it feels like such a slog

[@apertureemployee215]

I seem to recall at one point seeing a rome total war mod adding an amazon faction, who's army consist of copious amounts of topless women. So theres an idea for the next Total war series

[@drworm73]

I'm 48 years old, and I haven't heard as much "back in my day..." moaning as is in this episode in a very long time. For fuck's sake.

[@minimanbeast1014]

Honestly, i never played much pokemon growing up, and i can feel with matt in alot of ways and to this day im still not 100% with pokemon, but than i freakin love the smt and persona games (obvously the games closer to the pokemon type of gameplay of allying with demons/shadows) i feel as if the games having a much more tangible gole in mind instead of beating the gyms and the elites, and the fact that each game has a very different and unique feel to them while not switching up gameplay to an extent that makes them feel entirely different, take for instance the switch from persona 1 and 2is/ep to 3 and than 4 to 5, the games haveing wholy different feels to them, damn, this was a freaking comment and a half

[@kabobawsome]

Movies drop on valentines day to get that date money. Usually it's a sign that the studio isn't too sure the movie will sell on it's own. Not necessarily because the movie is bad, usually they're just not sure if the movie will generate interest on it's own EDIT: Did Jon just say a fucking FORD is "reliable"? EDIT 2: That episode with Quark is really good though! Quark towards the end of the episode uses a synthesis of Klingon law and Ferengi tradition to expose a really horrible plot, and then GIVES UP A BUNCH OF MONEY WILLINGLY BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. The episode really REALLY shows Quark's depth. EDIT 3: Honestly, a full reboot of the Simpsons is what the show needs if they want to keep it going. Then we can stop one-upping and one-upping, and maybe change the humor of the show in a way that lets it last better. Modernize the humor style, give it a new semi-unique art style, etc. Would it be as good as the original show was? Almost certainly not, it's a stupid high bar to clear, but it probably wouldn't be actively terrible and would at least not be tired. EDIT 4: I don't think the Simpsons IS timeless. It is and was very much a product of its time. The humor is from the late 80s and early 90s to this day. It's just that the first 8-10 seasons consistently only told late-80s-early-90s jokes THAT WERE GENUINELY FUNNY. And genuinely funny jokes are funny forever regardless of how of their time it is. There are ancient greek jokes that still fuckin bangers. That's one of the reasons they have to keep one-upping and one-upping, they've ran out of those funny jokes. South Park IS timeless, they adjust the humor to fit the current time. You could just drop South Park into Shakespearean theatre and they'd still thrive. The thing is that adjustability means the jokes of the time are not as consistently funny as the early Simpsons.

[@omegatheta1701]

to answer the ford question, the Warthog is a Benz so why are we worried about a ford being around?

[@omegatheta1701]

im also impossibly ammused that Dan didn't say jon would be a Pakled... its such a easy mark to hit

[@natsume-hime2473]

The big problem with this podcast series, is that Dan is constitutionally incapable of shutting up for even 10 seconds. So he's constantly cutting both Jon and Matt off. This gets infuriating when Jon, or Matt are trying to make important points, or say something insightful. He does this to Stuart constantly in their colabs too. Someone get this man some caffeine and ADHD medicine. He's a lovely guy, but it gets really annoying when he can't let the others finish, often derails what they're saying, and is off-topic 99% of the time.

[@anthonyallen5909]

That was absolutely a Hilary animatronic they made into Trump.....omg it's too funny

[@tach5884]

Best episode so far.

[@Hopalongtom]

How dare you, Rom is a war hero!

[@Rateus_Johanson]

Matt no middle gears ophobia.

[@titanuranus3095]

Actually, closed doors can keep the cold out.

[@Lightning1998JBD]

Eternals post credits scene was good! Also the voice is blade!!

[@derekskelton4187]

Batman spoilers: Jon doesn't quite call it, but like Batman focusing more on rescuing people instead of punching is kind of how it goes.

[@andromidius]

I'm with Dan - Matrix Resurrected was a good movie.

[@jeremy2008]

Pls play “worship” when it releases

[@skywise001]

Please teach Dan how to podcast.

[@Stacy..71]

I loved Matrix too!

[@FiXato]

Alamarain, and then three more!

[@CommissarMitch]

Hot take. Pokemon games were never hard. We were just young and did not understand it.

[@CommissarMitch]

The reason why Red is considered difficult is because he is in an area where every other Pokemon trainer and wild pokemon are like 20 levels below you, so it is impossible to grind up levels.

[@librarianseth5572]

Day 645 of requesting Zoo Tycoon. Well THAT hit me like a freight train

[@KashouWannabe]

Original Deus Ex (I had on PS2) was awesome. Up there with Syndicate Plus as the best cyberpunk games of all time.

[@Raykkie]

Ngl "A man who stopped playing Pokémon during Gen 2 and man who's only played a spin-off from 4 years ago judge the entire series" is peak Dunning-Kruger lmao

[@piwan9007]

rd2 is terribly slow and so much boring stuff in it pokemon arceus is so much fun but damn its so ugly

[@CountingStars333]

Early

[@ThePzwilson]

Dan is clearly *nationalist*, rather than racist, as the UK and the USA are simply nationalities, and basically share much of their racial makeup. If you're going to be some kind of ist, then at least get it right!

[@natsume-hime2473]

You do realize that the core of nationalism is ethnic purity, right? In the UK and US that means white people only. So, yeah it's racist, inherently racist.

[@ThePzwilson]

@@natsume-hime2473 not necessarily. While nationalism is often tied with racism, lots of people are extremely nationalistic regardless of their views on race. There are Americans of all races that are fiercely nationalistic, for example. Especially relevant in a comparison where the USA is involved. Edit. Your sentiment implies that a black British person could not be nationalistic.
