  • Privacy and Ponygate

    Buckle up for one of our most unhinged episodes yet.In Episode 105, the UDP crew takes on Privacy and Ponygate—a free-to-play horse racing game with a privacy policy straight out of a dystopian fever dream. From cookies to browsing history to behavioral profiling, it’s less “pony show” and more “data grab rodeo.”But that’s just the opening act.🐉 We dive headfirst into modding chaos, including Baldur’s Gate 3 respec stats, skeletons with boobs (yes, you read that right), and emotional support necromancers.🧛 Pokémon gets roasted and redeemed in real time—with a new shiny legendary raid mechanic that finally makes up for years of shiny-lock grief.🧠 We honor the legacy of modder Alex T og and discuss how community-driven creativity keeps our favorite games alive, well, and wild.🧙‍♀️ Plus: mousepads, malware, Mario lawsuits, and barbarian throw-spears that return like boomerangs from Valhalla.With banter, insights, and the occasional morally-questionable vampire, this episode proves that shouting into the internet void is still strangely therapeutic.⏱️ Chapters:00:00:00 — Intro, Cast Rollcall & Trevor Project Shout-Out 00:02:36 — Horse Game Privacy Meltdown 00:13:48 — AOL Dial-Up Ends & Internet Nostalgia 00:20:33 — UDP Meta & Legal Fine Print 00:23:01 — Nintendo Blocks Charity Speedruns 00:31:29 — Pokémon Shiny-Lock Redemption 00:36:26 — Withers Mousepads & Modding Madness 00:43:05 — BG3 Respec Stats Reveal 00:48:02 — RimWorld Modder Tribute 00:52:11 — Roundtable Catch-Up & Chaos

    In Episode 101 of the UDP Broadcast, we brush off the confetti from our 100th celebration and plunge straight into chaos. From Nintendo bricking consoles and overpriced Warhammer bundles to indie dev love letters and steam-powered nostalgia, this episode explores the absurd friction between polish and passion. We roast anti-consumer trends, celebrate dumpster-fire quests l, and dive deep into the games setting our hearts (and ships) on fire—looking at Jump Ship, Palworld, Mass Effect, TF2, and more. Plus, we spotlight solo dev champions, lawsuit drama, achievement flexing, and the sacred TF2 hat economy. 🎙️ Also: deep lore drops, glitchy audio hilarity, and British slang sign-offs. 💬 Join our Discord & get in on the chaos: https://discord.gg/theudpbroacast 👾 Support LGBTQ+ youth through The Trevor Project—10% of our earnings go there.
