Summary

Since many of the games we're playing right now can't be talked about until embargoes lift, we had to look for different topics of conversation.

With Editor-in-Chief Austin Walker on vacation (if you're reading this, Austin, that's not what people do on vacation), Social Editor Danika "Definitely Knows How to Write a Poem" Harrod joined Senior Reporter Patrick Klepek and Managing Editor Danielle Riendeau to discuss recent events with YouTube personality PewDiePie, why I'm interviewing folks who made sexual mods for Stardew Valley, and the games we've been playing. Like I said, we're all over the place on this episode. Hold tight.

Hello and how you doing internet it is February 17th 2017 and you are listening to waypoint radio.

0:25.0

I am not Austin. I can't say what's good internet that would be wrong and bad. You know I'm not a pretender to the throne. Instead I am Danielle Riendo and I am joined today by two of waypoints finest. We have social editor Danica Harrod. Do you want to say hello?

0:41.0

Austin is there by the way. That's where you say something Danica. He's the plant.

0:48.0

He's the plant. We've made it's canon that Austin has become a plant as he is on vacation. Of course joining me as always is Patrick Kleppi.

0:58.0

I'm here. I'm here. See I knew my cue. I'm very wrong. I'm professional. I know what I'm asked to do when I do it. I don't do this enough. It may be like a C- but I'm there.

1:09.0

You know as long as you got a C in there right. Hey that's how I treated college was like hey I passed. When you see my when you see when people ask did you graduate college.

1:19.0

Did you get a bachelor's degree? They don't ask like what were your grades when you got it. They just ask if you fucking got it and I did.

1:25.0

What's your G.P.I exactly. Don't say my G.P.I and that piece of paper. I haven't heard that paper is. Yeah I am minds that my parents house somewhere. I don't know behind my picture of myself graduating from college with a

1:36.0

Nintendo DS you can clearly see in my hand. I'm shaking hands with the president because I was so bored with the damn ceremony. I was playing media. I'm pretty sure I was hung over at my graduation. So that was good. Yeah. Yeah. This is a good and normal thing to be just stop there. We're fine. Speaking of a good and normal thing to be Patrick. I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to have a nice chat with you today. A piece you wrote on the site. I was going to say this sounds like the setup for a performance review. I already had one of those. We all had one last thing.

2:05.0

Austin already grilled me. I don't need another one of these. Well you know this one is on live radio. Not really live radio. See we're not live because life is difficult but you did write about a very good and natural thing. A very wholesome thing. You wrote a piece about a jerk off mod. Yeah. We're starting you Valley. Can you tell me what you say it out loud like that. It makes it far more uncomfortable than when you just copy and paste it from an email. It doesn't.

2:34.0

Yeah. It doesn't sound so yeah. I don't necessarily want to make my like mod interview series like about a bunch of.

2:40.0

A rotica necessarily but I I'm trying to try you know part of my goals to find people doing like very specific things that reflect something that they find very interesting as opposed to like.

2:53.0

HD textures or you know sort of things that are useful for people who are you know modifying games and stuff that may make a game better.

3:01.0

Like when I'm looking into now is you know about I've been looking through the Witcher 3 mods and like there was one that I didn't actually end up pursuing but one that I thought interesting was like someone added highly detailed chest hair to.

3:14.0

Girls body which I was like that's a very specific thing to do that is like not on the general spectrum of how you normally would add something or you would think of adding to a mod it's like I usually I'm always I'm always thinking when I look at a mod like is there a like is your story behind this I guess there like something interesting and so when I saw this mod called horny bachelor's.

3:38.0

That that like the name made me laugh and then when I read what it did which was adding like a specific master start jerk off schedule he was very specific in his language as he told me.

3:51.0

He said that's so kind of funny and interesting that I have to imagine that person has like funny and interesting and insightful reasons for why they wanted to add something that's a certain and it totally being true you know like you know one of the things that they told me was.

4:09.0

The fact that you looked at the modding that was happening start of alley and this is this is something you could apply holistically to basically all mods maybe not all mods but generally speaking if you're looking at mods that have to do with sex usually is catered to and probably developed by straight dudes making stuff where you can.

4:29.0

Do stuff with women that's not a universal truth there are probably exceptions to that rule but but that that is that is a pretty broad a generalization that you can make that is that is pretty correct and so this is a guy who's like I'm a dude I like banging dudes I bed dudes like to jerk off I want to do jerk off in this game so I'm going to add this to the game I go something very specific that reflected his interest his personality and so he put that into the game and I thought that was both hilarious and really interesting.

4:59.0

It says something wider about sort of mods and mods communities I think it's it's wholesome in its own way it is it's very whole you know it's the whole picture it's our whole lives isn't that like a a unitarian thing O W L our whole lives and it's like we talk about sex in our religion because it's normal I could be wrong I have no idea I.

5:19.0

I did want to mention Patrick I you would share a beautiful screenshot of Geralt from one of the one of the ones that that shows Geralt being hot basically and Diana from broadly actually walked over and looked at my screen and asked me if I was looking at and I quote anime porn I mean let's let's let's be clear let's let's let's put some context into it yeah I think any screenshot of Geralt from which are three you could look at and go yeah do that.

5:49.0

I'm looking pretty good you know I I even I could admit that like I can look at him objectively just be like yeah yeah I get it I get it he's a hot dot yeah yeah but this specific screenshot which is from I don't want to go I don't want to see my story
