    Lunar: Silver Star Story | E43: Victor Ireland Made Me Say a Slur [Talon Mines]

    What’s up pixel perverts? Today we’re blighting the surface for undesirables, rapidly switching discs, realizing the guards can hit, scraping metal out of the dirt, locating the only doctor in the world, experiencing goblin poetry, refusing to serve drinks to miners, dreaming of D Block, goofing into a slur, beating the prisoners, staring down a moral choice, changing hearts and minds, rushing the goblin narrative, playing with piss, and producing an unforgivable font mistake. In the absence of god you must have medicine. 00:00:00 Clair Obscur 00:04:10 Intro 00:05:42 Arriving at The Frontier 00:12:32 Talon 00:16:00 Talon Indoors 00:34:40 Talon Mines 00:39:38 Mid-Cave Miner Hangout 00:49:40 Graveyard 00:53:16 Hostages 01:02:55 Real Net 01:07:22 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

    Lunar: Silver Star Story | E42: Pooter Retained [Embarking to the Frontier]

    You’re prisoners of foolish ambition. You’re consumers of the pod, an episode in which we’re smelling so sweetly, waiting for Kyle to say it, finally realizing what we should have known, using ass-beating thoughts as a coping mechanism, fighting out of duty, living in the present, becoming a character, deploying a maximally appropriate sound effect, executing the double betrayal, leering at a bromide, refusing to pay for our own engine, demanding more out of Dyne’s past, justifying Nash’s actions, having a power that cannot be measured, and preserving the pooter. Nothing matters now. 00:00:00 Infinite Pause 00:02:35 Intro 00:04:43 Camping at Myght’s Tower (Kyle & Jessica) 00:09:58 Camping at Myght’s Tower (Nash & Mia) 00:15:27 Myghts’s Tower Rooftop Showdown 00:23:35 What Do We Do Now? 00:27:31 Iluk Check 00:29:13 Magic Guild Check 00:33:18 Reza Engine Recovery 00:35:16 Return to Myght’s Tower 00:41:49 Myght’s Tower Rooftop Redux 00:44:26 Real Net 00:47:29 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

    INFINITE PERFECT 004: Performance Violence [Mutant League Football + Mutant League Hockey]

    Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey were convergence points across gross out children’s toys, gratuitous video game violence, and those who dared to dream up sports games for kids who weren’t especially interested in sports. But is it bad when the toilet produces more than it consumes? Eric thought about this for the last five months. It’s the fourth episode of Infinite Perfect. 00:00:00 Violence  00:04:31 Football 00:09:28 Mutant League Football 00:24:21 Mutant League Animation 00:27:31 Gross Toys 00:29:34 Hockey 00:33:28 Hockey Games 00:34:18 Mutant League Hockey 00:44:52 One Good Weekend 00:50:07 Outro

    Lunar: Silver Star Story | E41: Her Ass-Butt in the Water [Dragonmaster World Tour, Part II]

    I wanna see some skull. Down in that bone zone, we’re coming up with magic city protection spells, wearing villain attire, contemplating infinity, making mother look so afraid, seeking the emasculation of self, crying in baby poop, dropping trou, becoming an honorary citizen of Lann, wearing an everybody magnet, loving Whitney Houston, building machines to travel underwater, talking to everyone everywhere, beautifying our bodies, and laughing like Beavis to make it through a bit. Take off that silly costume and go away. 00:00:00 Reptile 00:03:29 Intro 00:04:28 Dragonmaster Goes to Vane 00:14:49 Dragonmaster Goes to the Magic Guild 00:20:23 Dragonmaster Goes to Nanza 00:24:46 Dragonmaster Goes to Lann 00:31:33 Dragonmaster Goes to Reza 00:39:09 Dragonmaster Goes to Iluk 00:44:33 Dragonmaster Goes to Meryod 00:50:17 Dragonmaster Goes to Lyton 00:52:36 Dragonmaster Goes to Tamur 00:52:54 Forbidden Forest 00:54:52 Spring of Althena (Women) 00:58:31 Real Net 01:03:33 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

    Lunar: Silver Star Story | E40: A Rubber Band and a Stick of Butter [Dragonmaster World Tour, Part I]

    Shut your sass hole, buddy. From our sass holes we bequeath denying god’s light from the Frontier, showing off our new clothes to everyone in the world, learning more about Alex’s Dad’s Son’s Sister Girlfriend, failing to show love in action, doing weird shit with butter and rubber bands, foreshadowing Nash via doomerism, continuing the denture saga, discussing tortoise turds, telling the same stories over and over, forgetting everything, and receiving the gift of anime.

    Lunar: Silver Star Story | E39: Elemental Nostrils [Black Dragon Fortress]

    What man who desires to be a hero would let that happen? Us, obviously. We’re bleeding out of the neck, dealing with Not My First Mind Control, tempting in the desert, saying Alex and Luna over and over, screaming into Dragon Master gear (in anime), wearing an invisible sprite hat, indulging in dragon controller irony, supposing dragons are real, consuming squid guts pasta, realizing Laike has a back-up Boy of Destiny, fantasy-producing a dozen kids, acquiring the master sword somehow, passing it on chief-to-chief, and figuring out the terrible secret of Gum Chris. Events beyond your understanding have been set into motion. 00:00:00 Soccer Stream Promo 00:01:22 Intro 00:03:11 Rooftop Showdown 00:18:16 Rooftop Showdown Aftermath 00:25:11 Return to Pao 00:40:02 Tempest’s House 00:46:25 Departing Pao 00:53:31 Real Net 00:59:15 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

    Lunar: Silver Star Story | E38: Please Understand, Pray Until You Find the Answer [Forest of Illusion + Pao + Black Dragon]

    Graveyard duck, give me the bag. Inside of this bag you can find us feeling the magic, repeatedly getting lost in the forest, spriting a tree differently, receiving PSP-exclusive Nash backstory, dreaming bloody murder, parting bushes like the red sea, debating the existence of god with children, learning of the nomadic lifestyle, spreading disease, stacking up powerful rugs, violating gift customs, passing out, deleting a joke about Kyle’s massive penis, worshipping goat satan, and spreading black power to every corner of the world. Rest well, my ignorant knight. 00:00:00 Chili Powder Fun Dip 00:02:13 Intro 00:03:32 Illusion Forest 00:08:56 Illusion Forest - Night 00:12:53 Illusion Forest - Morning 00:17:49 Pao 00:26:52 Pao Buildings 00:33:15 Tempest 00:40:56 Pao Post Plague 00:44:50 Black Dragon Cave 00:54:53 Real Net 00:57:38 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

    Lunar: Silver Star Story | E37: A Turd-Sick Gnat [Myght's Tower]

    The time is at hand to prove the worth of your way. We’ll do that by wishing Laike was plausibly nerfed, fearing a bad lore tower, navigating pipes and catwalks, throwing shit out of a magic hat, playing fart sounds, bullying our way into a second airship, buzzing around like a turd-sick gnat, yanking on a face, foreshadowing a betrayal, enforcing the law of the west, engaging in a warrior challenge, replacing a necklace with a manifesto, and feeding cow to a horse. I don’t know if we should be getting involved in something kinky like that. 00:00:00 Sandwich 00:01:49 Intro 00:03:12 Climbing Myght’s Tower 00:11:50 Myght’s Workshop 00:21:37 Sega CD Rooftop 00:23:26 Return to Tamur 00:31:46 Lynch Prevention Squad 00:48:19 Tamur NPC Wrap Up 00:53:04 Real Net 00:57:29 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com
