Episode 112 - Aesthetic
Cheyenne joins Ben in the studio this week for an episode a year in the making! They start off talking about a big move that Cheyenne is making this year and what games they are playing. Cheyenne has been playing a couple of Larian Studios game and romancing mostly vampires. Ben has finished Pacific Drive and is trying to figure out what he’s going to play next. The hosts discuss the definition, share their results from a wikiHow “What is your aesthetic” quiz, and talk about how the definition has changed in recent decades. They also take a peek at the Aesthetics Wiki and talk about recent TikTok shenanigans before moving on to discussing their favorite video game aesthetics. Before closing the show, they ponder and explore what censorship in today’s gaming environment looks like.
00:00:20 - And Ben will, moving to Portland, explaining the podcast in a bag, and Ben’s “mo”
00:02:08 - The Rand McNally store, Cheyenne’s “Eras Tour,” and 1200 hours invested in BG3
00:05:05 - Experiencing simulated bears for science, having legs, and Pacific Drive is done
00:10:28 - Romancing things in games, not enough tabletop taglines, and on to the definition
00:14:35 - How generation Z uses the word, the quiz, Y2K and Cottagecore, and the suffix
00:19:08 - Normcore, Dark Academia and E-kids, transcending image, and what is Ben’s vibe
00:22:47 - It’s giving Beigecore, investigating the Wiki, and pronouncing Sega Uranus properly
00:28:00 - Traditional aesthetics, beauty is subjective, the inspiration of an image, and TikTok
00:32:15 - Filters, the kind of talker, Dada expression, and ByteDance divestiture speculation
00:37:31 - Asking intelligent questions, Congressional Dadcore, and wearing appropriate attire
00:42:04 - The first and last time, in Cheyenne-ese, a black and white realm, and Vanillaware
00:46:51 - Style documents, thoughts on censorship and graphics, and Shift Up’s Stellar Blade
00:52:21 - Changing demographics of players, identifying with characters, and connections
00:55:14 - Reflective morons making a difference, voices being acknowledged, and toxicity
00:58:31 - Just a misunderstanding, Cheyenne’s vampire hill, and moving towards inclusivity
01:00:35 - Not engaging, opinions about “barrelmancy,” and a Dadcore time out is needed
01:04:54 - Closing thoughts, the importance of aesthetics in games, and we’re ALL Beigecore!
