Today we spend a lot of time north of Goldenrod City. There's trainers to fight, new pokemon to catch, and even a little bit of main quest progression.

The promised video with a Furret is called He Skate.

Today we're playing a game called The Year After by anvHadrian.

It turned out to be both very linear, and also very powerful.

I hope you enjoy this one.

Today we're starting the 10th season of the podcast! Isn't that exciting!? Most things take years to get all the way to 10 seasons. Life hack: If you just call anything a season, you can get to season 10 way faster than taking 10 years to do it.

Season 10 is the "slice of life" season, where I'm not playing a video game at all. Instead I'm doing stuff around the house. Necessary tasks to be sure, but not things that are super exciting on their own. However, if I do it "for an audience", then it's just a little bit more interesting, and the whole process helps combat executive dysfunction.

Here's what it looked like when I started: https://imgur.com/a/CPmOmKJ

At the end it didn't look notably different, but I'll be sure to keep you updated.

On this, the anniversary of the crusades, we'll play Crusader Kings 2. The base game is free to play on Steam, just the DLC costs money, since the game is quite old and Crusader Kings 3 is already out.

Calls To Action:

What could be more November and/or Thanksgiving than a rousing game of Halo? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Also, Lokathor recommends the TorytlePower podcast for no particular reason at all and certainly not because I am deeply embarrassed that I forgot their name for a moment when listing off all my backers at the end of this episode.

We're playing dungeon-crawler classic Castle of The Winds, at the suggestion of Daniel K.

If you want to play this yourself, you'll need to first get otvdm, then Castle of The Winds. Run otvdm, select castle1.exe, and then be patient because it take a moment to start up.

Calls To Action:

This time in Pikmin-town we have a few ups and downs while using our new Pikmin to explore old places.

In our Fanfiction Chapter it's a little short, and I'd even say hard to follow because the Pikmin all lack proper names, but there's a dramatically strong cliffhanger to hook us for next time.

Also mentioned: Secret Of The Forest

We're back to pokemon silver, which we've been away from for a little bit. That's okay, we still know how to fight a gym. There's a few new Pokemon to meet, and then a bunch of fights to revel in.

Also I mentioned that I'd link to Aidan's stream, which you should check out if you like crosswords and/or tenants rights talk.

In the land of Hyrule, it's time to do some more side quest stuff, and this time we even start in on part of one of those temple things.

We do a momentary but harmonious duo of the Flower Garden theme from Yoshi's Island.

Also, a group called Malcura does on of the best Gerudo Valley mixes. I love the high energy of this live version that was recorded once, but they also have a studio version of the theme they put up just a few days ago. The studio version is hair slower paced, but has a wider variety of instruments going on.

Finally, I did say that I'd link "that one Egoraptor video" in the show notes.

As a special event on the Audio-Only Let's Play Discord we all decided to play an NES game that made the NES Homebrew news recently because it got a v1.1 release.

The game is called Böbl, and you can get a copy for free on their itch.io page if you want to try it out. The game is a simple metroidvania type of game where you play as a bubble that has to navigate the world.

Like I said, not only do I have an episode about this game, but some of the other big names in the AOLP scene have one as well:
