In the latest episode of "Super Best Friends Video Game Sleepover," hosts David Tate and Mike Lopez, along with their guest ShabbySheikah (find her on Twitch at https://twitch.tv/shabbysheikah), delve into their latest gaming endeavors. They discuss games they’ve been playing, including Baldur’s Gate 3, Golden Sun, Lies of P, Helldivers 2, Lethal Company, Final Fantasy VII Remake (this time with no ragequits from David), Spider-Man 2, and Persona 3 Reload

The conversation heats up as Mike shares his strong dislike for the survival/crafting genre, a stark contrast to Shabby's deep affection for it. This difference in opinion sparks a lively debate over the merits and drawbacks of games like "Minecraft," "Valheim," "Palworld," and "Nightingale." They delve into the elements of survival mechanics, resource management, and crafting systems, discussing how these aspects either enhance the gaming experience or detract from it. The discussion, rich with personal insights and broader observations about game design and player preferences, captures the divisive nature of the genre, making for an engaging and insightful exchange.
