Summary
Sometimes you start a project thinking it would be fun to learn a new skill. Well Gita is doing exactly that in Final Fantasy XIV, but every time she learns one crafting class she realizes that things would be more efficient if she just learned to craft everything. Patrick is finding little to like in Biomutant, and leaves us with a short preamble for Friday’s podcast. Gita is checking back in with Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, and finding the changes to be ... revolutionary. After the break, Patrick is deep in the world of dodgeball with Knockout City, a surprisingly fun game that had the weirdest launch trailer. Gita has been living life in the apocalypse in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, a game that doesn't pull any punches mechanically and philosophically. And of course, wherever there's a new Destiny 2 raid, there's Cado. He recounts his experiences revisiting the Vault of Glass, the first Destiny raid that has been remastered for Destiny 2. (Spoilers for the Vault of Glass in this segment

| 0:00.0 | What's good in that it's Tuesday, May 25th and you're listening to Waypoint Radio episode 399. |
| 0:26.9 | I made sure the episode number was right. Didn't check the date. It is no longer May 17th and it is not Friday. |
| 0:36.2 | I am your host, Rob Zachini. I am joined by our producer, Ricardo from Travis. Yo. Patrick Kleppick. |
| 0:43.0 | Oh, we're here. Let's go. And get a Jackson. Yeah, what up? I watched a van a me yesterday. It's all I can think about. |
| 0:51.4 | Head MP. Great. Love it. The sequence in the restaurant where he's in the water. It's such a bad movie, but it's rare to see |
| 1:03.6 | like such camp at such scale. It made you so excited to see the symbiotes interact with each other. |
| 1:09.3 | And I find them most superhero movies by the time it's two CGI blobs fighting. I don't care anymore. |
| 1:14.9 | But I just wanted to see Riot and Venom just shout and go here and shit at each other. |
| 1:20.4 | The scene where he's talking to Eddie Brock and Tom Hardy's been playing the whole movie as a comedy up until this point. |
| 1:26.4 | So it's like it's perfect. The tone finally reaches a place where I want it to. |
| 1:32.3 | Where Venom is saying to Eddie Brock and he's like, oh, Riot, he has got shit you have never seen. |
| 1:40.4 | I was just like dying. Got in the revelation. He's like actually a kind of a loser. |
| 1:47.8 | Yes, I love it. And it turns out that Venom is the Eddie Brock of the fucking symbiote. |
| 1:52.8 | Yes, yes. It also is like a movie that is about all of the kinds of personality problems that lead you to become a journalist. |
| 2:01.6 | It's just like, Gigi. Well, I didn't think about that movie from that lens. |
| 2:05.1 | No, it's just a bummer. |
| 2:07.6 | No, it's great because he manages to overcome the personal deficiencies that make him force him to |
| 2:14.0 | insist that he's right to the detriment of all his personal relationships. |
| 2:18.5 | So I'm not like I'm not imagining it, right? Like to do the voice of Venom, Tom Hardy had to have |
| 2:26.4 | just mainlined every single Keith David destroying scenery, like seen in history because like the first |
| 2:33.6 | I heard it, I was like, this is either Keith David or this is somebody doing a really good, like all |
| 2:40.2 | the way to 10 Keith David impression. Yeah, I mean, Tom Hardy, the thing about Tom Hardy is he's got |
