Some of our landings were desperate adventures. We are now prepared to meet the inevitable counter-attacks with power and with confidence. I'm My name is Gary Butterfield.

My name is Cole Ross.

And you're listening to Bonfire Side Chat.

It is a wrought clay favorite.

Yeah.

And this week we are continuing our discussion of Grime, the 2D Castlevania, Metrovania, Solz like, where you play as stone, man,

fighting stone people.

I've been calling them Soulsylvania.

Solzylvania.

Yeah.

Yeah.

For this, for like this and Hollow Night and Deaths Gambit and such.

Yeah, that simplifies it.

Yeah.

You know?

Um, and I, because I don't like the, uh, uh, Metroid, uh, either the, the prefix or the suffix. Yeah. Yeah. That's souls like insurance. It does. Uh, Solstroid. Sounds like the bad robot. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like the Souls Troid. I mean, I would if he popped on the dance floor and started playing funky beads. You know, that might be into Soul Troid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just laying down a thick Bosanova. Yeah. Yeah. Solstroid is good, I think. They're not Solstroid. Solvania. I like that.

We will figure it out. We haven't quite decided what we're going to do after this. This is likely going to be this episode and another one on Grime because it's dense and there are a lot of cool boss fights.

Yep.

I want to camp out on the final performance for a while.
