Infinite Cities Blaseball

This is it. This is goodbye to ICB, and hello to Infinite Cities. We're officially dropping the Blaseball, and moving on to our future of "good games, and better friends." It's bittersweet, wrapping up everything we've been doing these past three (almost) years, but that doesn't mean we're going anywhere. In fact, you might not even notice the difference.   in this episode: our next project, explaining blaseball, pretty much only good games, sickos mode, ICBee, super mario battle royale, that's the premise, hole score, welcome to only holes, the unspisciest podcast, one last time   ~shoutouts zone~ Infinite Cities by Rebecca Solnit, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro, and Rebecca Snedeker [https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520314290/infinite-cities] The New Infinite Citites Podcast!

Blaseball will not be returning. In a lot of ways, this isn't different than a month ago - we didn't have Blaseball then, and we still don't have Blaseball now. Our last regular season episode was thirty-nine. But in more meaningful ways, the world is a little less cool. Even though we gave up talking about blaseball a while ago, this still sucks. Join us as we figure out if there's anything left to say, and keep watch with us as we look forward to a new beginning. In this episode: the final moments of the great blaseball discord, the physical world is unchanged, we're not going to stop podcasting, miracles, rest in violence, change the world, thank yous. ~shoutouts zone~ The Game Band Is Shutting Down Blaseball - Destructioid [https://www.destructoid.com/the-game-band-is-shutting-down-blaseball/] Closing Thoughts - Blaseball News Network [https://blaseball.news/2023/06/14/blaseball-news-network-closing-thoughts/] You have two weeks to get your blaseball cares orders in [https://www.blaseballcares.com/] Shout outs to you, reader of the episode notes. ~~~ Our theme music comes from the wonderful Hokuto.

Disco Elysium is somehow (still) so much more than we could have anticipated, but we're finally wrapping up our conversation from last week with the endgame! Feather's still doing too many drugs, Gary has thoughts about the hole, Will's complaining about tech, and Karp is still just better than you.  Content warning: this episode contains discussions of hard drugs,  alcohol, violence, suicide, murder, philosophy, and politics in this episode: raphaël ambrosius costeau, where'd we left off last time, bashing political ideologies, dance teens, romance in disco, wompty-dompty dom centre, klaasje, cw: drug use, ruby, the tribunal, sad fm, one last door, dolores dei, we should talk about the world, the hole, philosophy, the deserter, the insulindian phasmid is real, shoutouts to cuno, the pale, thoughts about The World, the kim theory, will's tech corner, clearing out side quests, the hole at the center of everything, the pessimism is baked in, the world isn't doomed, disco elysium is dancing in the face of oblivion ~shoutouts zone~ A Compilation of Articles about Disco Elysium [https://www.tumblr.com/joycemessier/679243441467801600/disco-elysium-readings?source=share]  Sacred and Terrible Air by Robert Kurvitz [https://www.reddit.com/r/DiscoElysium/comments/12ysbl1/sacred_and_terrible_air_full_professional/]  People Make Games Disco Elysium coverage [https://youtu.be/JGIGA8taN-M] -  released after we recorded but before we released (somehow) but the best research into the out of game situation SadFM by @patientno7 on twitter [https://twitter.com/patientno7/status/1227066407839502336]  SadFM by AntonSavinov on DeviantArt [https://www.deviantart.com/antonsavinov/art/SAD-FM-837689049]  SadFM in game [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1099492993863532645/1112459671874326538/1bf3ddc4c7a6628f60fd42782c7e98a7cdec2406.png]  The Stained Glass Window of Dolores Dei by @cardo_de_comer [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1099492993863532645/1112465272994017370/fantasy-art-digital-art-artwork-video-game-art-disco-elysium-hd-wallpaper-448879932d25cc691b7631af9c124147.png] What Kind of Cop Are You?

Wow, Disco Elysium is a lot. It feels a bit late to be getting to this game, but we're finally in the dark (metaphorically and physically), dank (same) city of Revachol! Gary found books to read, Feather's trying to solve being sad through chemistry, Will is having a hard time finding his place and Karp is just better than you. This game is so big, this one is just the first half of the game! Content warning: this episode contains discussions of hard drugs, including the use of drugs by a minor,  alcohol, violence, and racism. This episode contains spoilers for the first half of Disco Elysium, beginning vaguely at about 00:30:00, and getting more detailed and spoiler-y as this episode progresses. In this episode: Tears of the Kingdom, what's your build, you will respect feather's authority, fuck Cuno, giving up drugs for feminism, the least comfortable chair in the universe, this game does not like you. ~shoutouts zone~ Some of Gob's incredible Blaseball modifiers rendered as Disco Elysium stat portraits [https://twitter.com/glassgoblin/status/1391060332597153797?s=20] (and more of them [https://twitter.com/glassgoblin/status/1529131476490518528]) Behold!
