The title sounds like The last words of a Dark Souls npc before turning into ash

Actually, I've got a better idea.

I think he was rejuvenated after the story about the guy whos date fell apart after bringing up the podcast. Woolie WILL make the titles as concerning as possible.

u/ReaperEngine I should probably be writing 1d ago

Frustrating to talk about anything close to the KH Missing-Link leak when Pat hasn't even played anything past Birth By Sleep, let alone recently. To know anything about Missing-Link itself, that opening makes a fair amount of sense.

For context, Missing-Link followed keybearers in a time between the two previous mobile games, where they dive into a portal from a research facility to reach the Astral Plane, exploring its expanse and fighting the heartless. The Astral Plane itself is close to what is ostensibly our real world, depicted through the game's geolocation gimmick (like Pokemon Go, but with KH gameplay). As it represents the real world, wading through the dark to a place that looks like modern-day Shibuya, which has already been revealed in KH3 and Melody of Memories as Quadratum, is a world of fiction to the reality of Kingdom Hearts.

So, to see the leaked opening of a group of keybearers in diving suits, encountering heartless and ending up in Quadratum, yeah, that all tracks. A striking juxtaposition, of course, but if you're up to date, it's not exactly completely out of nowhere.

21

u/DrDreDel1 1d ago

Kingdom Hearts' internet reputation as "all games are plot critical" has kind of poisoned the perception of the game's story at this point. Like, you don't need to play the mobile game to understand what happened 100 years ago, when they summarized it in adequately enough in a Secret Report in the mainline games. I feel like even if you're caught up to Birth By Sleep you can infer enough from that trailer to understand what they were going for. 

9

u/TorimBR 19h ago

I mean, kinda? The mobile games had info that we never got from the main series, which include some critical info, like Eraqus and Xehanort's childhood; KHUX Mc being Xehanort's caretaker, capital D Darkness as the real villain, Marluxia and Larxene's nobodies and origin, Strelitzia as a whole; Ventus' actual origin, Dream Eater's origins, and many more

Yeah, the info isn't exactly tied to Sora's main quest (for now), but it adds a lot to the overrall series lore and characters

u/Lights-Camera-Axshen 1d ago

Unfortunately, attention spans and overall literacy have gone down the drain. Welcome to the TikTok generation.

u/Aperger94 He/Him 17h ago

tbf people have been memeing on KH story long before tiktok was a thing

2

u/ReaperEngine I should probably be writing 21h ago

True, and it's particularly true for how people say you needed to play KHUx to understand KH3, when all the context you needed was the Back Cover movie that is painfully easy to find, and gave you the actual information you needed for KH3, since it dealt with events that weren't even depicted in KHUx's cutscenes.

With Missing-Link though, it feels like a lot of the reactions now are people that last they thought of Kingdom Hearts it was just Disney and anime smooshed together, so astronauts diving into some dark place that turns into a modern city kinda comes out of nowhere, despite the last few material for the game establishing it.

22

u/iamBQB 1d ago

God, I can't believe they'd choose a sponsor like that, it's like they didn't even do a google search to see what they're about, genuinely disappointed in the guys on this one.

I mean have you seen those podcast titles!?

u/T4silly Wrong Fact Stater 1d ago

Them talking about how TCGs shouldn't have Standard Rotations and Bans got me thinking about TES: Legends again.

I miss that game.

18

u/Noilaedi [Woolie Exhale] 1d ago

Do they consider the other option for no standard rotations being Yu-Gi-Oh! where they go "Well, we aren't rotating out things, but to get you to buy new cards, we'll either ban the older strong cards and/or release even stronger cards"

9

u/Detective_Robot 22h ago

They just don't know how TCGs work.

27

u/Sperium3000 Mysterious Jogo In Person Form 1d ago

Good ol tcg opinions from people who don't play.

3

u/dycklyfe 20h ago

Honestly I think most of the TCGs released within the past decade have not had rotation at all, and alot of them are chugging along just fine. Most TCGs that did rotation kinda just did it because they wanted to copy MTG/Pokemon without understanding why rotation was necessary for those games, and tended to die off pretty quick because of it.

Bans are obviously necessary since you can't really have balance patches for a physical product (erratas maybe, but most people despise them and they're a logistical nightmare, just look at YGO's erratas) and in the thousands of cards released each year there's bound to be some overlooked OP shit that slips through. But most TCGs don't (and shouldn't) have rotation nowadays. It's just not really needed, and are kind of a death sentence for any newly established TCG.

1

u/Lord_Magmar 18h ago

Pretty sure Lorcana has Rotation but also it is made by ex Magic devs anyway afaik.

u/megamoth10 It/Its 1d ago

u/Sperium3000 Mysterious Jogo In Person Form 1d ago

Sometimes I think Pat being crazy is just a bit and then he says a problem with Palworld is that it doesn't incentivise animal abuse hard enough.

9

u/senordose He/Him, GOOFG 20h ago

He yearns for the "The cruelty is the point" type genre. Which I can get behind for sickomaxxing

3

u/TorimBR 19h ago

dickomaxxing, if you will

10

u/Nectaris3 You think your dad beat you? Jesus, get ready for this. 1d ago

Nah he’s on point with this one. I got Palworld because I thought it was a funny twist on the monster collecting genre that you were mistreating them. I was quite disappointed that the optimal way to play was just being nice to them.

If I wanted to play a game where you’re nice to your monster buddies, I already have Pokemon, Digimon, Yokai Watch, and pretty much everything else in the genre.

7

u/Hugglemorris 22h ago

Pat should totally play Rimworld, aka Dwarf Fortress for normal humans. It simplify things enough that you can play it as a straight up farming or industrial sim and being a polluter lets you unlock having a robot army and being a bio-engineered freak.

18

u/The_Draigg Member of the Brave 13000 1d ago

Palworld is basically the perfect medium for Pat to live out his Captain Planet polluting capitalist villain fantasies. At this rate, it’ll only be a matter of time before he starts jeering at a child because they have AIDS.

15

u/fly2555 FE Lore Enthusiast 1d ago

I don't think they said it, but that Palworld dating game was developed by Pocketpair themselves. It's not a fan game, its an april fools joke made real.

4

u/XVermillion Allen Cutcornington 17h ago

DBD did that as well with Hooked On You, though those cowards still won't give us Trapper's bedazzled thong cosmetic in the main game.

u/drizzes 22h ago

Woolie making the understandable mistake of looking at kingdom hearts from the outside

u/HalfDragonShiro PM ME WHITE-HAIRED ANIME GIRLS 20h ago

"Placenta by Ocean" is S-TIER Slander.

12

u/The_Wraith_Writer 1d ago

In regards to the Batman delay talk and such: it's wild to hear them say it's okay for things to take longer (which I agree to an extent), when they've both railed against things taking too long in the past. Furiosa took too long to come out (which it did). Final Fantasy 7 Remake is taking too to come out (which I don't have a stake in, admittedly.) New JoJo is taking too long (same as the previous).

It could just be personal bias, on both their and my parts. Thing I like but don't have a huge investment in: Take your time, it's chill. Thing I love and have a huge investment in: Every minute of delay is another drop of piss on my baby's grave.

Apologies for the tryhard metaphor, someone told me I was funny once and now it's everyone's problem.

19

u/Android19samus 1d ago

Some things are more time-relevant than others

6

u/The_Wraith_Writer 1d ago

Fair. I guess Batman has more staying power than Mad Max.

15

u/thebaconing5 1d ago

i think the problem of it taking too long is more the frustration of announcing too early and/or total radio silence. also the jojo example is more on how its released then taking too long.

14

u/MysterWrecked He/Him // "THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY." 1d ago

It is the difference between striking while the iron is hot, and taking your time with a franchise that is evergreen.

0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:37 Welcome to the castle super what the fuck is kingdom hearts??? Cast! Pat’s answer: IT’S LIGHT! It’s also a result of spreading your lore across multiple properties.

  • 2:42 The recent leak of the lost kingdom hearts game, missing link, with the deep sea diving astronauts and the giant heartless has caused woolie to become curious

  • 3:20 What is missing-link? Pat’s answer. The things you care about as you age.

    • 5:03 the best retcon tool: the guy that told you about it was wrong. Like the keyblade.
  • 5:51 a sincere attempt at a faceless protag.

  • 6:43 pat on how kingdom hearts has been handled. The amount of story in the defunct unchained X mobile game. P5x’s adult characters

  • 8:51 Those keyblade users were totally canon. Did you know there’s ever-crisis stuff in FF rebirth?

  • 9:48 Imagine if all the ff spinoffs were required for the games

  • 10:50 you WILL hear about genesis.

  • 12:30 a larger point to be made: you are stupid if you play a square enix mobile game

  • 14:17 Woolie will continue to ask this question. And kingdom hearts is more interested in bringing up questions over answering them

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

PAT

15:41 So how’s it going? Alright. Caboose ate urinary cat food.

  • 17:08 then he ate an unripe plum. Swallowed it fully intact

17:45 Playing 14 with the gals and 1.0 of palworld. Woolie felt he had his fill of palworld in the beta. The thing that is interesting is what they didn’t change. The menus are still jank and the controller support is still buggy.

  • 20:09 the game’s view distance is to the horizon now. They went bananas with the map size

  • 20:59 It’s a fascinating game. Trying to trick people into playing a factorio/satisfactory style game. Did you do any interior design?

  • 22:45 the gameplay loop is perfect

  • 24:10 the pal condenser

  • 26:19 watching pals run around and automatically do tasks is cool. The pathing fix they use now.

  • 27:50 the two types of building game players. Turn the forest into a data center.

    • 29:40 moving stuff from base to base is time consuming. Building takes time.
    • 30:56 you can build to the skybox
    • 32:11 Pat wants to go back to play V rising.
    • 32:59 pat is tempted to remove the encumbrance stat.
  • 33:39 pat’s second issue: it sucks the ingame balance incentivizes being nice to your pals.

  • 35:12 It’s good, but it’s jank.

  • 36:47 there’s a story now. But pat hasn’t experienced much of it. He’s played 20 hours and hasn’t gotten far.

  • 38:07 the loop of gameplay

  • 40:02 woolie continues to blow his wad too soon. The 3 type of people that play early access

    • 42:20 no rest for the wicked coming out in October. He played too much of it. He’s still feeling the itch for the full release.
    • 44:43 alabaster dawn and the plan for early access for that game.
    • 45:23 What drew woolie to no rest for the wicked
    • 46:56 plat’s sponsored stream for rogue trader. Pat is still waiting for the last DLC to come out so he can start for real. CRPGs and waiting for the ‘full’ release.
  • 49:24 the game is gripping pat in an intense way. It is a massive knockoff, but the combination of borrowed stuff creates a great game.

  • 50:34 a certain comment: palworld is only successful because of spite

  • 52:59 pat has not been keeping up with pokopia. He loves the genre but he’s very picky about these building sims. He wants to pave everything into a parking lot.

    • 54:59 pat wants the factorio pollution mechanics to be in more games
    • 56:03 fields of mystria is coming out soon. Turning chaos into order. Nature to sludge.
    • 57:32 pat is disappointed in the joja corp storyline in stardew
    • 58:16 neverway. Woolie wants to get back to it. There’s a lot of different gameplay modes in it.
    • 59:36 Woolie wants a classic monster hunter game. Busy work to get to the ‘real’ game.

1:00:58 FF14. getting a fancy weapon for the girls. The steps to getting the cool weapon in 14.

  • 1:03:44 the mmo glowing weapon issue

WOOLIE

1:07:08 Fever baby has occurred. Punchgirl got sick. Everything halted for the baby. Just be close and hug them.

  • 1:09:13 Pat’s own experience with his kid getting injured. Babies learning to move.

  • 1:11:26 impatience with wanting to see what’s around. A reversion to simple times. Pat warns not to injure them for the sake of the feeling of being a good caretaker.

  • 1:15:08 “Hey dada” “what?” “BLEGH”

1:16:00 took the cargo bike out for a spin. Punchgirl loves it. The baby LOVES the bumps.

  • 1:17:32 getting thrown around far suprasses slides

  • 1:18:34 woolie’s feeling alright. Dawn of the daycare approaches. The channel schedule will be changing dramatically.

  • 1:20:16 on daylight savings. When the baby gets up and goes to bed.

1:23:43 More dark souls 2. Reggie got wharf’d. It’s a mean area.

  • 1:24:36 no lucatiel at the bonfire

  • 1:26:01 the strangest remix of a game pat has ever played. For every good decision, there’s an 80% chance of a mistake. Some changes feel like they were made just to change it

1:28:34 Played the commander format for magic: the gathering with command grab james! It’s the magic the gathering version of poker night with the boys

  • 1:29:50 woolie learns you are mages summoning things to fight against each other

  • 1:32:22 look at all this crossover stuff. Pat dislikes the concept of crossovers in a cardgame like this. Guest characters in general

    • 1:36:18 it’s not a hard and fast rule. For magic, it’s like if street fighter became smash bros.
    • 1:37:25 Pat is now forced to remember doctor who exists while playing magic.
    • 1:39:00 You can have captain america wield the buster sword
  • 1:41:11 the rules of commander. Going over the very basics of magic.

  • 1:44:10 woolie won the first game they played. A cactuar came out on the field at one point. Sweaty and not sweaty mode.

  • 1:46:41 the main challenge of the game: remembering all the rules and conditions on the field.

  • 1:50:26 woolie had fun with it. Just getting a deck and playing without worrying about deck building.

  • 1:51:24 the number of banned cards in commander is low. Pat’s feelings on banning cards. Rotating cards feeling bad because what did you spend money on?

    • 1:54:26 btw you can get CSB shirts and deskmats at orchideight!
  • 1:56:35 actually having the moment where your deck pops off was surreal.

1:58:10 your crown is mine. An indie visual novel where you become the villainess. Pat has never played the raising sim genre, apparently. Have you never played princess maker pat, huh?!

  • 2:01:31 woolie just saw a trailer and decided to try it

2:03:09 over on woolieversus, FFXIV, a short stream, finishing off ace attorney 2, and a short stream saturday!

2:04:13 for pat at patstaresat, FFXIV, palworld, and the marvel tokon beta! And the berlin FFXIV fanfest.

NEWS

2:13:45 so aside from kingdom hearts, there’s stuff from last week. Microsoft loses court case after telling hacked xbox user to repurchase games.

2:17:18 the backrooms is a big breakout hit. So, now that the backrooms is an IP, people who have been doing backrooms merch for years are now being copyright struck. The director is fighting against these claims personally.

  • 2:20:50 The visual aesthetics of the backrooms makes it hard to tell if it’s a ripoff or it’s own thing

2:22:37 a patent for catching monsters in balls was rejected at the patent office because they pointed to a pokemon fangame

  • 2:24:59 a sterling video titled “why it’s always ethical to pirate nintendo games.” and palworld ripoffs exist.

  • 2:26:54 the visual novel part of steam

2:27:56 DCKO. ya mean DiCKO? Somehow a worse name than 2XKO. It’s wasted as a mobile game.

  • 2:29:54 DC has not been on the ball with their games for a while now.

  • 2:30:49 woolie seeing some panels of the DCKO comic. Absolute batman has been a great run so far. All the absolute lines seem to be pretty great.

  • 2:33:08 it could have been a bigger DCKO. but only a small DCKO for your pocket.

    • 2:33:52 remember when nintendo announced the wii? Small DiCKO energy.
    • 2:35:58 mobile games are a sewer. It feels strange to not be addicted to gambling
  • 2:37:28 What kind of DiCKO energy are you bringing to the bathroom? And it’s never written as DCKO, but DC KO, with KO under it. You have DiCKO, it came free with your xbox.

2:40:18 What is going on with the god of war live action. Ryan Hurst injured his bicep badly enough they have to reshoot the series.

2:42:27 every single social media post by playstation is being blown up by people mad about them removing physical media. Being annoying works.

  • 2:45:05 it will eventually reach the board.

  • 2:46:22 how decisions like this shape the industry. Gamestop saying it doesn’t matter to them. Pat saying gamestop did that to themselves

  • 2:48:05 pat believes they just want to repurpose the cd production factories for AI and that the PS6 will likely be disk-less

2:49:40 Lego One piece. Usopp explaining what happened in the first seasons of the live action adaptation.

2:50:56 avengers: doomsday trailer. The formula marvel is using in a negative way. Look at all these people I dont care about from movies I didn’t watch! so let’s talk about the one thing everyone is talking about. Doom pulling an aizen and stopping thor’s weapon with his finger

  • 2:54:26 please don’t be evil tony. It will be shit if the fantastic four have a scene where they have to find out who doom is. there should have been a movie where tony actually deals with his alcoholism - pat.

  • 2:55:58 doom shows up at the end of the fantastic 4 movie.

  • 2:57:00 a movie where there’s a bunch of characters you don’t care about. A comment on youtube pat read: 90% of the movie will be characters meeting each other.

  • 2:58:43 they had a chance if they had restraint. Everything is dependent on the success of the previous.

  • 3:05:28 The pattinson batman movie is stuck in development hell. Delayed again.

  • 3:06:39 the economics of the games industry where everyone is trying to chase the pandemic numbers. The entire entertainment industry is like that.

  • 3:08:15 pat remembering MMO players and burning through all the content

    • 3:09:20 the director and staff were working alongside the penguin show. But that aside, pat has a conversation with a batman fan.
  • 3:10:18 putting a timeframe where you have to put something out. Woolie: you’re better off without it if it’s going to suck.

    • 3:14:58 pat: it’s hard to do a good movie trilogy.
  • 3:17:26 once again, restraint is the only way to salvage anything you have. It would take a really good MCU movie.

  • 3:18:14 pat and bad movies being like breaking the FOMO spell for a gacha.

  • 3:20:38 Marvel as a film company. You cannot scale down

  • 3:21:54 pat: the level of desperation relates directly to the following thought: Wow looks so old.

Since nobody else has mentioned it, they left out the end of the A24 Backrooms story. After a few hours of the copyright strikes occurring and Kane talking to them, they came out and made a statement that it was a mistake made by an AI copyright system that they had, and they reversed the claims. The situation was not ongoing, as Woolie was saying, it was resolved in less than a day.
