actually don't you should consider trying it anyway because i
36:36
think that it's a really good entry point into roguelike deck builders uh sometimes i feel like and and and i can say this is someone who had this feeling before i started playing a lot of them uh that The look of roguelike deck builders was very daunting to me.
36:55
Just felt like there was far too much going on, and it just wasn't...
37:00
I guess it didn't seem very exciting to me as a type of game.
37:05
And then I think it was Bellatro that got me into it, but...
37:11
This is one that I think that even people who don't like the genre would really enjoy.
37:17
It freaking rocks.
39:15
Going at a camping deck is so fun because I just thought it was going to be like movement deck and combat deck, but camping, way better.

sleep.

And my favourite part of that game, because I watched a lot of videos of people playing it, it's like watching Learn How To Mother videos, just a lot of people getting the warning of Cooking Mama, first and last name, saying...
31:18
No, do not shake the baby.
31:22
And so I love the Cooking Mama games.
31:24
And I heard about one coming in 2027 that I am really surprised they decided to go for it.
31:31
A long lead time.

This
59:30
Speaking of games, what you been playing?
59:32
It has been three years since Roly McFly rid the bugdom of the evil King Thorax and his minions.
59:41
But the bugdom can still be a dangerous place as our new hero Skip is about to find out.
59:48
While on his way to visit his family on the far side of the bugdom, a bully bee swooped down and stole Skip's knapsack.
59:56
Your job as Skip is to track down the bully bee and get your knapsack back.
60:01
The chase takes place mostly in and around a house.
60:05
This is the story of Bugdom 2.

54:56
Okay, cool.
25:40
Is, is that how you see it, Ruby?
25:42
Absolutely.
25:43
I think that they obviously, as you said, can't replace professional help, but there are so many games that use these techniques that can kind of give you tools to be able to manage your mental health in different ways.
25:58
I think a, a really recent and really, in my opinion, good example of a game that I think has done something like this, and not just for young people but for people of all ages, is a game called Wonderstop that the big kind of overarching moral of the story is dealing with burnout and letting yourself take a rest when, when life starts to become a little too intense.
26:35
(laughs)
26:35
... having a game like Wonderstop that puts you in the shoes of somebody that's actively pushing themselves to destruction and learning through them how to take a moment to stop-... breathe, and do something that's better for them in the long run, is really useful in making people reflect on their own actions in real life.
26:56
And I think Ace of Hearts is another new perfect example of a game where people can ...
27:03
That they're not replacing professional therapy with a game like this, but instead they can play it and take things to, to work with in their own life from it as well.
