672. 1Upsmanship: Updating the Celestial Hard Drive 2023
Added 2024-01-08 14:00:11 +0000 UTC

If you’ve listened to this show, you’re aware that we put all “keep” games on the all-knowing and wise “Celestial Hard Drive” aka the drive we send to God, or aliens, or whoever’s up there. This Hard Drive will house humanity’s 100 best games and Michael & Adam have accepted the challenge of curating it. Every year, we make amendments or removals with a little bit more hindsight. This is that episode for the year of our Lord 2023.

I’m very disappointed in Swaim for letting that trash pile GTA V on.

Michael you absolutely (!!) have to try Wabbajack mod list for Skyrim VR. The GingasVR list is one of the best. It is nearly unplayable without mods and one of the best VR games of all time with them. Very very close to one-click install too

i constantly forget that the gta/saints row games have ever had any story. i haven’t played any since i was a kid, and at that time they were just cop killing simulators iirc

GTAV Has some of the best sound design I've ever heard. But the only GTA that is worthy of this list is vice city.

You ever been in the hood? That shits rampant. We can stop being discriminatory in media when discrimination stops in the world. Otherwise, you're doing a disservice to the people who actually go through it. Remember the intro to Mafia 3? Same thing.
Im not saying i support it, im just saying that its accurate to real life scenarios.

Doesn't do much to justify the homophobia/transphobia

Something that Michael doesnt realize i think, is that GTAV was written by the Hausers, but the voice actors were all real rappers and ex criminals and so on, and they were encouraged to improvise and be as much in character as possible...so its highly likely that the Hausers didnt throw in all those N words.

An episode about the Saints Row series would be neat
