Rob and Patrick talk sports, perhaps for the last time. They discuss the Chicago Bears' regular season schedule and discover some shocking overlap on their predictions, then discuss a disappointing season of Ted Lasso and a creeping undercurrent of misogyny to its subplots. Then they discuss the NBA and Playoff Jimmy Butler.

It’s the penultimate week of Waypoint, and the crew is having a normal one—more normal than Overwatch 2, anyway. But first, Patrick’s checking out Humanity, where you help guide human souls to the afterlife…as a dog. Then, we dive into the confusing Mortal Kombat "1," Rob’s second (??) playthrough of Resident Evil 2, and praise the new cinematic platformer Planet of Lana. Finally, Patrick has concluding thoughts on Jedi: Survivor, and we debate a few contraptions people have made in Tears of the Kingdom before dipping into the question bucket.
Discussed: Humanity 2:06, Overwatch 2 Cancels its PvE Mode 16:53, Mortal Kombat 1 33:28, Resident Evil 2 44:50, Planet of Lana 58:06, Astro’s Playroom 1:07:49, Star Wars Jedi Survivor 1:17:26, The Question Bucket 1:36:33, Tears of the Kingdom 1:37:13, The Question Bucket 1:46:40

Why is Waypoint crying? No, it’s not because we’re only 2.5 weeks from being laid off, despite that being very sad. It’s because we’ve beheld the beauty of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and it’s ability to produce a flying contraption that is three birds kissing. Patrick, Ren, and Cado have all put varying amounts of time into the sequel to Breath of the Wild, and have some surprisingly different feelings about its opening areas. Uneven tutorialization aside, listen in as we regale you with stories of ridiculous inventions, surprising darkness, and turning Link into a human bullet. Then we (re)consider the question bucket, revisiting an older question (I still pick the moon), and then talk about our relationship to collector’s editions.

The time has come to put an end to a cycle. My Turn’s final movie aptly cover’s Arrival (2016), Denis Villeneuve’s Sci-Fi take on alien life, language, and living with grief.We discuss the film’s gripping emotional core, stellar soundtrack, and not-really-a-twist twist that make this an enduring film. We answer listener questions, and also reminisce about future My Turns that could’ve been.

The show is off the rails as it begins without warning mid-conversation around tales of retail work. Then we dig into the evolving experiences of Darkest Dungeon 2, and check back in with Rob to try and understand why Redfall feels like a completely different game playing alone. Then Patrick has found the true weapon of the Jedi in Jedi: Survivor, and it's basically a great axe, not a lightsaber. Finally, the crew returns to the bucket.
Discussed: Question Bucket 20:48, Darkest Dungeon 2 32:50, Question,Bucket? 42:11, Redfall 51:03, Jedi Survivor 1:23:10, Question Bucket! 1:42:02, Outro and Announcements 1:49:43
