Melonmancy Podcast

Got another job for you 621, I'm sending you episode 75 of the Melonmancy Podcast. Give it a listen. How can a single year in videogames have so many bangers? Come one come all for an Armored Core veteran's first impressions of AC6, and an Armored Core newcomer's take on the whole game. Dielan will catch up and finish up the game before the next episode, time doesn't grow on trees. Also what is DE smoking with Warframe 1999? Our boy Vic couldn't make again, so you're stuck with @dielan@shitposter.club and @skooma_dealer@shitposter.club instead Listen to the new episode here!Discuss this episode on OUR NEW FORUMGet the RSS and Subscribenewpodcastapps.comthe forumPodverseListen on OdyseeClick here for everything ElseSend your complaints here Reminder that this is a Value4Value podcast so any support you can give us via a modern podcasting app is greatly appreciated and we will never bow to corporate sponsors!

We are living in a world where we now have to ask if the games blogger that wrote that shitty article you just read is an AI or just an idiot.

# Ladies and gentlemen of the court of public opinion, welcome to the trial of Ralph Panebianco This episode is super delayed to get edited. In this episode we give a detailed first impression of Final Fantasy 16, as well as break down with evidence why ShillUp is totally wrong about this game. This episode took so long to edit because Dielan went on to finish the game before editing the episode. Just could not put it down.

This episode was supposed to come out last week oops In today's episode (recoded June 6th) The Sony State of Play just happened and today's controversy with Twitch and Reddit had only just started. You can expect updates on those topics in our next episode since things got so much worse after we recorded this. You can also expect our usual ramblings about what we saw at the Sony show, including this bastard of a Marathon reboot. Also fuck Konami.

Vast majority of this episode is weighing in on the recent release of Hogwarts Legacy, for the sake of the listeners in 2030 binging our show like some kind of nerd time-capsule we even explained the context!

I said we would return in January, this was recorded in January, still counts right?

If you want to send us cash tips in USD, you can do that on Odysee This episode we welcome back our guests Zerrva (Jordan) and Metalchicken (Robbie) from our OG community. Who help us kick off the year with a look back at what the best new games we played last year were. We also spend a lot of time talking shit about Wizards of the Coast. This episode was not recorded live as we have made our glorious return to Mumble. Livestreams will resume once @dielan@shitposter.club figures out how to install Icecast. If anybody's done that before please tag him on the fedi. On the bright side this gives us an audio track per person again, enabling us to edit out noise, voice conflicts, and silences. Should make for a better experience than the last two seasons. Not taking the easy way out anymore! Don't forget to unsubscribe to D&D Beyond

If you can see this we are in good shape

SHOW NOTES This is a brief set of announcements at the beginning of the recording, followed by about 4 hours of unhinged drunken rambling with multiple guests (Including @dreamcycler@shitposter.club and @helsech@shitposter.club and @ironee212@shitposter.club - thanks so much for coming!) TL;DR on said announcements: our forum No amount of typing on this post about what we talked about this episode will do it justice. If you do choose to listen past the announcements do us a favor and with a modern podcasting app - such as Fountain please make clips of your favorite parts and post them! See you next year!
