How do we stop developers from turning every good game into a roguelike?

2026-02-12 19:10:04 +0000 UTCQuestion around Mewgenics, the representation of disabilities in the game is dismissive and problematic, will you please reference how unacceptable it is when discussing the game? autism (among others) isnβt a gameplay mechanic

2026-02-11 12:17:46 +0000 UTCI'm a couple weeks behind so maybe I missed it but I'm curious if Chris in particular has seen Obex yet. I was able to catch it in theaters and it feels very...Chris. I loved it personally

2026-02-08 23:17:53 +0000 UTCHey guys. I don't know for sure whether this has been brought up any recent episode or not, but would anyone mind just commenting their thoughts regarding CO33 having the GOTY award stripped due to sneaky AI stuff? I personally feel very fine saying yes let's absolutely draw a hard line in the sand now to discourage the use of gen AI in the vid game industry, but that being said I'm open to whether my view is too harsh or unfair towards smaller devs or if anyone has an argument for why it should be used but only as a tool to jump start a narrative idea etc etc. Just wondering what everyone's take on it was

2026-02-08 20:40:27 +0000 UTCI know sports games (other than golf and racing) are not necessarily in the Besties game lists on a week to week basis but I have a good one for you. It's called Tape to Tape. It's a run based hockey game that reminds me of NBA jam more than anything else. Have any of you laced up your skates and checked this game out and bracket battle best sports based side quests in games? You guys are great and thanks for all of the awesome content.

2026-02-07 16:04:33 +0000 UTCHey guys, Iβve been listening to your show for many years now, I love the Resties and the besties and I look forward to every bit of content you two are connected to. Iβm curious about your thoughts on video Game composers/compositions- a recurring theme is for you guys to mention how incredible a soundtrack is, which has provided so much incredible working music for me- but, what do you look for in a video game composition? If this isnβt already on the docket for a bracket battle, Iβd love to hear more in depth about your favorites. Thank you for so much thoughtful, well researched, funny, and kind content. Best wishes -Ryan

2026-02-07 02:19:57 +0000 UTCAs a fan of Monster Factory, and sometimes monster creator myself, I'm curious how many of you get silly with character creators in your personal playtime. Is there something that stops you from it, or a certain breaking point where you go bog standard character?
