Amazing

This is the first video game podcast I’ve listened to, and it’s great. I know that many people get frustrated about the tangents that the hosts go in but honestly think it’s fairly entertaining. It’s been great to hear a new perspective on video games, and has helped me expand into new genres.

Cancel culture lives on here

Ugh, it pains me to write this, but the personal politics of Jason/Maddy gets in the way of what would otherwise be great discussion of video games. I’m fairly left-leaning in my politics but Jason:Maddy never pass by an opportunity perform further-left-than-you virtue signaling. As an example, on a recent discussion of “Sea of Stars,” Jason felt obligated to mention that the developer had “quoted Jordan B. Peterson in a previous piece of work” and Maddy gasped in horror. He then told us that maybe it’s ok now because the developer who wrote that bit of dialogue had sincerely apologized for it. Again, I don’t personally align with many of Jordan B Peterson’s views, but the idea that we need to silence him and be aware of the permanent transgressions of those who’ve dared to quote him ever in their past is wild. Props to Kirk for being a normal person.
