I tried the Switch Kirby demo and was shocked by how it felt like a 3DS game. Had some fun but felt like either the demo or the game wasn't very polished and ultimately thought I didn't need to bother with the franchise.  Luckily, Horky and Solace encouraged me to try the older kirby games on NES and SNES, and boy am I glad I did!    They were instantly a lot of fun with their tight mechanics, challenge and boundless creativity. They also had the weird mix of being released late on systems (after the next gen had come out) and also looking like they were a port of the previous gen (nes felt like gameboy, snes felt like nes)    This made the Switch game feeling like a 3ds game make more sense.   Now I'm intrigued to try the full version of the switch game, but also still hesitant to plunk down full price. Oh what to do.

Hi, second day of Too Long Didn't Watch, review in progress of ghostwire tokyo.     I come back to earth from yesterdays acceptance of the pleasant game loop.  There isn't enough here to justify the full price at this point. Perhaps the end will really wow me, and there was one very well done setpiece, but it could use way more of those.

Hi, long time no content here.   I have a new series for the podcast called 'Too Long Didn't Watch (TLDW).    After every stream with a game I will summarize my thoughts on that game with a quick review in progress episode. It'll be uploaded here and to the youtube channel with footage from the game.   Today is after two long sessions with Ghostwire: Tokyo.  I was inspired to do it since I had such a different reaction to the game the second session. I went from being very unimpressed to locking into the game's flow and really enjoying it. I also think it's the most efficient way to create a lot of podcast episodes and to give people a cliffs notes of the streams who don't want to watch 3-4 hour episodes. I've been skipping my hockey team's 2.5 hour games and just watching 10 minute condensed highlights myself, and also cherry picking the highlighted SNL sketch videos, so why not here.    Thanks to Solace for being the podcast's number one fan and for hanging out on the stream with me today.  Cheers

Hey Solace and other listeners. I always enjoy the topics Horky brings up in our Discord DMs and brought them together for this return to the podcast.  I'm feeling a return to more consistent podcast style episodes that will be here and the youtube channel with relevant footage.   I hope you enjoy our ramblings.  Thanks for listening

Mat and Horky chat about what they're playing, check out a beautiful pixel art cyberpunk game, and even talk a lil cancel culture controversy with said pixel art cyberpunk game
