Summary

We’re back! After our half week break we’re here and ready to talk about… HDMI splitters and their accidental “perks” if you know what I’m saying. Of course a story about a TV from Patrick was going to lead us into an entire segment on the structure of our entertainment systems and how hard it is to digitally back up our physical media collections. Then, Patrick has wrapped up the end of Unpacking, and find that thankfully the game didn’t skew as dark as he once feared it might. After the break, Cado has been checking out Get In The Car, Loser!, an RPG that tells the story of a queer road trip to defeat the Machine Devil while the Divine Order is on your tail, with an interesting Valkyrie Profile-esq battle system and hilarious writing. Rob on the other hand, has more questions than answers as he dives once more into the world of Sherlock Holmes with Frogware’s Sherlock Holmes Chapter One. Watson is a ghost? You have to equip your thoughts??? Then we round out the pod with a dive into the question bucket with a lot of followups to the water-refill-at-the-drive-thru debate.


Discussed: Unpacking 27:44, Get In The Car, Loser! 43:58, Sherlock Holmes Chapter One 56:06, Question Bucket 1:15:05

1:56.2

So we're all back from a holiday weekend when playing some games and we also reveal a shocking a shocking discovery. What over the weekend? Okay. So during COVID,

2:10.2

one of my friends, they wanted a bigger TV. I tried to convince them for their spot. Like it would be better to get a projector, but they want they wanted the big ass TV.

2:20.2

There was a sale. And so they bought a 80 inch TV. They had a 70 inch TV. And they just wanted a new one to go. Wait, 10 inches. So he told us he already had a big TV. He had a big TV.

2:31.2

One of the bigger TV. One of the slightly bigger TV watch the sports. And he has the spot where like as a TV grows bigger. He's close enough that it's just like such a tower and presence in the room. I get it. I get it. He's single has like a good job. Like spend your money. That's that's what this is what I would be doing.

2:47.2

Frequently, he's the preview and like, what would I do if I wasn't spending the equivalent of an additional mortgage on childcare per month? I'd be buying a TV that's 10 inches bigger because I've convinced myself that's the path forward. So TVs are so cumbersome to sort of like sell and they're so cheap that he was like, hey, you know,

3:07.2

weren't you looking to take buy TV or you know, a cheap TV to put in your garage because it was like this is a prevex scenes and stuff like this. So we're looking for a way to watch movies in the slightly warmer garage. And so yeah. So I took his 70 inch, put that in our family room. And I took my 60 inch old TV. It's like 12 years old at this point and put that in the garage.

3:29.2

And one of my annoyances in my house is that when I got a 4K TV for next gen, because I need I was like, I need to understand how the stuff works to like review it and all that. That's just in my office. But then it just means like, I've only got a 4K TV in here.
