Podquisition Episode 205: Red Dead

Unsurprisingly, Red Dead Redemption 2 gets a lot of airtime. Also, plenty of our evil liberalisms, and a bit o' Dark Souls.

The holding a button thing makes a lot of sense to me from a game design perspective (if, of course, used appropriately) because it's just a smoother way of asking the player "are you sure you want to do this?" without giving them annoying popups. In that way it actually makes things less cumbersome. Unless they use it for EVERYTHING, obviously.

Yeah, now that you describe it like that, I think I would've preferred that over "mash A to remove vent grate" in the Batman Arkham games.

Fandoms are fucking weird, including Rockstar's fandom. Actual human adults who get worked up over their favourite franchises seems to be the price our species has to pay for having evolved the ability to think in abstractions. We would of been better off if we ignored environmental pressures and stayed in the tree canopies. I also enjoyed the Trumplodyte baiting immensely... :3
