September 17, 2025Taking Out the Buzz (feat. Peak, Story of Seasons, Silksong, and more)
Does anyone else hear that low buzzing sound when the residents of Mineral Town talk? Or are my ears still ringing from my last encounter with Mayor Felix? Time will tell, I suppose.
Discussed: We’re both sick, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, what makes communities in games feel alive, games about being a shopkeeper, Neopets, Mayor Felix, PEAK, Friendslop, the secret microphone within the Steam Deck, the word “marvel”, Silksong, intrinsic motivation, Hades II on the horizon, a new Fire Emblem, Nine Sols, parrying and stealth missions, Bake Off sketches, and lunchtime
