Welcome to the patch.

Hold on, let me flip this hourglass.

Jesus.

This week, brought you by Blue Apron and Mike and Dave need wedding dates. Thank you to our sponsors. What? Sorry. If people were watching this live, they probably thought that their connection was buffering. Yeah. And that's exactly what happened. Gotcha. People who are watching this recorded have no idea why I went nuts on the... Yeah, so I had to explain a little bit about what's going on.

Yeah. Anyway, it's the patch. I'm Gus. I'm Jeremy. I'm Ashley. I'm Meg. I'm Gus. So, you started talking about Stilaris a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, and you guys were all in full Overwatch mode. I gave up Overwatch for Stalaris. Yay! I launched Overwatch last night for the first time, I think, in two weeks just because they had patched for competitive play. But before that, I've just been like neck deep in Stolaris. Yeah, to put that in perspective, you thought you heard the Overwatch theme tune in an airplane. Yeah, I was on a plane. That's. I was a little excited, yeah, but it's still a good game.

I'm going to go back to it eventually, once everyone's much better than me. But yeah, I'm just like, still ours. It's like totally the kind of game I love. I sat down. So the first time I was playing it, I remember I was talking about it. I'd only been playing a little. I was still in like my first thing trying to get used to the menus because I haven't played any of, what's the developer paradox? I hadn't played any of their titles before. So it was all very, like their style of game was very new to me.

And I remember thinking that I had to develop warp drives or something so that I could leave my

universe and go exploring. And so I was like sitting in my area, like researching all these tech trees, being like,

I don't see warp drives anywhere. What's going on?

And after I talked about it on the patch, I went home and played some more.

That's not a thing. I just had to click on the arrow and take my ships to the neighboring system. You just have to go to the map and then click on a different star. I was like, oh god damn it, what is wrong with you, Ashley? And then by that point, because I'd been sitting in that one thing, I was like completely surrounded. And so every time my ships would go into a new system, they'd get scared and scuttle back out. I was like, well, I'm done here.

So the enemy is just like, she's hanging out right there. We'll just get around her. You were just standing in one spot the entire time. I was the little prince of galactic civilizations. Yeah, it's a galactic conquest game, and she was on one star. Hey, but a proud star it was. It was. It was my star. That's right.

I called it Earth.

Welcome to Earp.

But yeah, it's been a lot of fun i thought that i was doing really good uh i think i only have like 20 hours in the game or

something and the other day like you can do like ship designs that you build ships to go out and like

you build like you know attack ships or science ships transport and stuff so i, huh, I wonder what the best layout for, like, a destroyer is.

I should look that up and see, like, what kind of weapons I should put on in, what kind of armor. Did you fall down a rabbit hole? And I was like, oh, shit, I don't know anything that I'm doing. I've been playing this game 20 hours. I didn't realize like there were like so many more mechanics and like you have to worry about like some armor is hard counter for some types of weapons and you have to like vary it depending on who it kind of like

like rock paper scissors right it's like a complicated rock paper scissors it's like I didn't even know this was in here this looks like a game that is not remotely up my alley but I respect that it is your type of game. This is a Gus game. This is a Gus game. Which normally I'm like right in line with you. Papers please. Amazing. So I do have another game actually that I started playing today that reminds me a Papers Please that you may like. Oh no. It's a VR game. It's for the Oculus. It's called Job Simulator?

It's going to make me super sick. Yeah, it's a little rough. But actually, no, this one's not that bad. It's called, please don't touch anything. Okay. What? It sounds anal retentive enough already. Now we're guessing. Are you a museum curator? You are. So I'm going to give you the amount of setup I had essentially, which is, like, you load the game and it tells you this game is best played sitting down. So I'm like, okay, I got a chair and I sat down. And the game loads up. And basically there's a large monitor in front of you with like a pixelated skyline, a giant desk with one red button on it. Oh, you just have to resist touching the button?

Right.

And then you can look around and you're like, it's kind of like got a Stanley Parable vibe where it's like, oh, you're in a weird kind of office and there's binders and a water cooler and some computers and stuff. But it's like, you just don't touch anything. I love that. But then if you do touch something, stuff happens. That's when like the game happens.
