But you plugged your YT so we got there no problem 😌 also thank you for recommending Magdalena Bay's Mercurial World. Listened to that album all last night and what a feel good banger of an album 😌👌
I often have a hard time drinking straight water. I don't hate it, but something about it is unpleasant for me. I think the best explanation that I've came up with is water feels like literal nothingness to me and even though logically I know otherwise I always feel like drinking it doesn't do anything for me. It's kind of like the feeling of being 'full' but still craving something to eat. Fortunately it doesn't take much to make water more palatable for me. I find carbonated/sparkling water very satisfying and those little water flavor things work very well for me (I tend to buy them in bulk if I ever find them on sale just so I always have some on hand).
Love the shoutouts for NEXTfest. Like any big thing, as it goes on it gets a bit... formulaic, but I really do love seeing all of the often bizarre and hilarious things that the indie scene is coming out with these days even if I'm not into it. I'm just happy so many of those little games exist, and every now and then you get an absolute banger like WitchHand or Nobody Saves the World!. Just fun stuff.
Related to liking water or not, different places have wildly different tasting water depending on the contents of it. I love water, and easily drink a lot of it, but I live in one of the cities with best tasting water in the country (it was voted on, lots of calcium), I also spend a lot of time in a place with much more iron it in. Also good but tastes like blood when transitioning before getting used to it. But I've also been to many places where the water tastes quite bad. When speaking of liking water, people seem to often not think about that tap water's taste can vary greatly. In some areas where tap water tastes bad I get bottled water, but overall it's wild to me that so many drink it. Inconvenient, costs much more and is bad for the environment. And I've personally never tasted bottled water that taste better than my tap water, but that of course varies depending on where you live.
Starting off with a slew of Dab Jokes, which is like Dodger's version of Dad Jokes, where she keeps trying with the Dabbing, and the reaction that is necessary is whatever reaction people have to a dad joke.
My Helldivers destroyer is the Song of Science and my mates is the Dream of Unity. Not much in the way of the games topic, but thats just how we felt :)
1:03:08 Wow, all this time I thought that Jessie just sucked at following prompts and instructions when Video games plopped them up on the screen for him to read, when in fact, he's just terrible at instructions in general. Good to know!
Watching Jesse being absolutely confused by cockney slang was both kinda frustrating and hilarious at the same time. "But can you give an example? - That WAS the example"
On the topic of cozy games, I was wondering if Dodger has heard of Tales of the Shire. I just sort of stumbled upon it the other day so I don't know anything on how much publicity it has, but it's a licensed Lord of the Rings game where you just... play as a Hobbit hanging out in the Shire. Just farming, fishing, interacting with neighbors, no drama. Just sounded like an ideal Dodger game.
I keep forgetting that game exists and having that morbid curiosity spike every time I see it. Licensed games are usually a bit weird but somehow THIS one has dark potential... but who knows. Thanks for reminding me!
So I work in a school system with pre-teen kids and I will always remember that during the Skyrim 10th anniversary I overheard one kid saying to their friend "hey you heard about this new game called Skyrim? It looks cool" I instantly aged like 10-20 years xD
As someone that lives in a city but spends several months during summers in a remote farm on an island and plan to move there permanently I always enjoy the dichotomy of Jesse and Dodger's living situations and daily lives as I know both sides well.
I watched Are You the One season 6 because of Jesse's recommendation. It was the season Jesse was talking about despite getting some details wrong (he initially said it took place in Hawaii, it's in New Orleans). There are aggravating moments because of douchebags, but it probably is one of the better seasons of reality television. The drama, karma, and strategy are very interesting Also, Jesse was incorrect about the guy who dated someone from a previous season, SHE went on Are You the One season 5 while dating him and he didn't know they were "broken up" until the show aired. During the "bring out your exes" episode she says she's still in love with him and shit talking all the female contestants while he argues with her about how horrible of a person she is.
@@thescrewfly That's actually called genericization, and isn't really what I was talking about, or what Jesse was talking about. and also isn't even really exclusive to North America since different parts of the world do the same thing, like brits and hoovers
I had a huge moment during this conversation with slang talk that made everything they said in the movie Green Street Hooligans make so much sense now. Thank you for that, Geekenders! Keep up the great content!
12:47 - My mom actually had a rooster like that. It was a brakhma, big giant rooster, very mean and aggressive, hated everyone, was kinda okay around my mom but me and my brothers and basically anyone coming to visit would get attacked by it if it was out. I had to go collect the eggs one time when I was like 13 and it kicked me in the shins so hard I was legit wounded for a day. This will probably sound insensitive, but we called the rooster Osama Bin Laden, bc he kept terrorizing everyone. In our defence we're European and he was legit a menace. Eventually we had to give it away to our grandpa who was out in a proper village, not just the edge of a city, and eventually we ate him, tasted great.
A Show people should watch is Shōgun, the new one from this year. The 80s one is ok too, but the newer one is better in my opinion. The book is also good btw.
This living water is a major scam. The real living water term refers to fruits and vegetables that have very high percentages of water, for example: Watermelon, Cucumber, Aloe Vera jelly, even celery or tomatoes. Don't buy Into the scam "living waters", if you eat these fruits/veggies in addition to having water, it is extremely more hydrating. I had a professor in school who only had living water, meaning if he was thirsty he would eat a cucumber or 2 with an extremely small amount of water. This professor was I believe 78, but he looked like he was in his late 40s or early 50s. He had very hydrated looking skin, very good health, and was like one of those elderly marathon runners. Give it a shot, but remember the term living water came from this first, and the MLM/Pyramid scheme people co-opted this term in order to make their terrible scam products seem real or like they have more merit
SES Light of Destruction reporting in. I've been enjoying the evolving content of helldivers. New weapons, new enemies, new strategems. I took a break to get really into dragon's dogma 2 but it's good to be back. I enjoy both bugs and bots. They let you play so differently. It's amazing.
I hope Daniel Mullens can turn that game jam into a full fledged game, like with Inscryption. The way he describes it reminds me of the mechanics of one of the newer Ace Attorney games where the opinions of the jury is usually influenced by the other jurors next to them to decide whether the defendant is guilty or not. Jesse is slowly becoming the sole advocate for that Are You the One Show 😄The way he sells it almost makes me want to go back to watching cable television to remind me of when MTV switched to music videos to those awful reality tv shows.
It’s very possible that you developed an allergy to eggs Jesse. I have a friend who developed that allergy in her 30s after being able to eat them most of her life.
Jesse, 100% almond milk SCREWS ME UP. I'm also lactose intolerant, but a half-gallon of milk is very genuinely more friendly than a half-cup of almond milk.
I am mourning Jesse's possible egg allergy; I don't make eggs often but I'd be devastated if I couldn't eat them whenever I get the craving (usually poached in ramen or fried over feta).
I had a look at the trailers for Harold Halibut and it appears to be Wes Anderson's animated films: the game. Which is not a bad thing at all, but it seems too expensive for what is.
