Disco Elysium (Ep. 4)

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2024/05/08

This week, we actually start to get into the main story. And that means we start to pull at the threads of what felt just moments ago like a fully cohesive tapestry of everyone's alibi... but wait.... was that a lie? What does that mean? -- Be sure to check out Instagram because Elena only knows one type of content and that's pure🔥! (Also she gives more real-time updates on how much we are throwing the schedule) Tentative Schedule: We got a plan from helpful folks over at the Disco Elysium

Re-Release - Senua's Sacrifice

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2024/05/01

While we take our sweet time with Disco, enjoy a legendary episode from our archives in preparation for Senua's Sacrifice 2.I'll leave you with a quote that's been resonating with me from Disco Elysium this week as we've been digging into the main story more... But you would still prefer if we didn't take her away? That's right, if we didn't take care of the people who end up here, this place would just be a couple of ruins and some cargo containers -Titus Hardie

This week, after some light hiatus in our actual real lives, we dive back into Disco Elysium. Where we both enjoy the game and discuss how like... you know... how hard it is to pick up a game like this after putting it down. -- Be sure to check out Instagram because Elena only knows one type of content and that's pure🔥!

Lies of P

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2024/03/13

Forgive, we started off this episode REALLY slowly (we were all exhausted from daylight savings and epic halo this weekend) but we got there in the end boys.This is a game that has been bubbling behind the surface for a lot of us and it's time to finally put it out and give it its praise.

Tunic (Ep. 2)

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2024/02/28

This week we finish Tunic and boy does this game shift styles in the second half. I'm glad we stuck with it to see what more it has in store for us. Also, we watch a speed run too, which frankly is something we should be doing more because it's just fun to watch the game you just toiled over get broken apart.(Also I tried to edit this week with Craig files in hopes it would capture the accidental Ba-Dum-Tis that got fired off in Discord, but alas, it wasn't captured. So you just get Craig audio

Tunic (Ep. 1)

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2024/02/21

This week we are joined by Matt to play some Tunic! Zoe, James, and our listeners have been scouting this one so we finally figured out how to align on playing it. At the beginning of the episode, there is a spoiler-free zone where we try to explain why you might play this game that has received so much buzz but also no one wants to spoil it for you. We'll come back next week for the full send spoilers and all-game talk after completing the game. See you then.

Deadly Premonition: Origins

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2024/02/14

This week we finally finish up and get to talking about Deadly Premonition! Which is almost certainly a game of all time. But also like... for the bingo card: Did we release this one on time? That can't be right Quick, who do you think has a technical issue this time? Do you think James liked this Good/Bad game or did he have an overwhelming desire to call the police the entire time?

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2024/01/24

This week, in what almost certainly could have been an email (but you know this ain't how we roll), we put a quick message about our plans for the new year, ask for your listener questions, and give our game forecast so people can actually know what's going on and get their game related emails in before we've already recorded! Submit your questions Games Deadly Premonition Tunic Lies of P ____ something else, I just can't remember what. Take Care of Yourself

Dredge

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2023/12/20

This week we finally get around to talking about Dredge and it's lovely. We've definitely all been vibing on it for the past couple of weeks, in our own way, and it's been exactly what we needed. No doubt about that. Happy Holidays everyone. Thank you all so much. Also, hey, Gabe shared with us this FIRE mashup... So, I gotchu dog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feJ7PWlVms8

Soma (Ep. 1)

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2023/11/15

This week it's first impressions of Soma, a game so scary it's basically taking us 3 weeks to bring ourselves to play it through. Who knew Spooky Games Month was just going to be us afraid of turning on the videogame? We are very light on spoilers but more so we talk vibes and the "Safe" mode.

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2023/11/05

The playlist: Chill Beats to Freeze To - The Pale Beyond Ambient Mix We returned from a trek on the ice with James... Still no sign of Gabe though. Last time we saw him he was drunk in a bathroom just muttering to himself that "he was the captain now" and laughing to himself.
