    My grandpa died of cancer around the time Red Dead 2 came out. Arthur Morgan reminded me so much of him, he was rough and tough on the outside but deep inside you knew that he was a good person. When Arthur dies at the end of the game it felt like losing my grandpa all over again and I’ve never have felt that deep of a connection in a game before. He loved old cowboy and western movies and I think he would’ve really liked the game. Whenever I miss him I just play Red Dead 2 and when I play as Arthur I feel like I have my grandpa back.

    Hi Joe,
    Thank you for being a part of my life. You have taught me to be more mindful in a busy and cluttered world. To again begin appreciating smaller things like rocks and beans. For that I cannot be more grateful.
    My video game recommendation is Refunct. It's a short game, only 10-15 minutes, but I feel a similar peace playing it as I do sharing my time with you. If you do play it make sure you have achievement notifications turned on.
    Thank you again Joe for everything.

    This is so wild. I have recently found such comfort in RDR2. I dont even mind the spoilers because i heard them before and am trying to prepare for them. As my grandparents were cattle ranchers and rice farmers, i feel a closeness to that way of life. But there is also a deep sadness, like i let someone down for not continuing that life even though it was never an option for me really. Maybe one day ill have the means to own and love a horse. The last encounter with a horse was at a family day at my exs rehab. There i was, in a family group of strangers and a therapist in the horse paddock, trying to lead a horse and have it follow me. I had volunteered to do a simple task in front of a bunch of strangers, hours from home. I had seen my ex once since i was there. He looked good and it felt too good to be true. So at the family day i felt why not get some horse time in. I tried to get it to follow me. It did not follow me. The therapist asked me how it made me feel. I began to cry. It made me feel everything i felt being trauma bonded to a man who repeatedly chose heroin and alcohol over me and over the chance at a real life. It made me feel rejected. It made me wonder what i was doing wrong. I felt inadequate, embarrassed, out of control and small. After that, my ex drank hand sanitizer at the church bathroom and was hospitalized, ending my family day weekend and leaving me alone in a motel room in the middle of nowhere , yet again. That was four years ago and i did a lot of healing since then, without a horse to judge me. It is nice to have virtual worlds such as rdr2 to make us have an escape from the hard times in our lives. Its nice to feel competent in something, even if it doesnt equate with competence in the real world. Its nice to be able to solve problems, get sidetracked and be immersed in a beautiful landscape while locked in a small urban aparrment. Thank you for this wonderful video and for sharing the humor and sorrow of reality in such a soothing and manageable way.

    Knowing that Joe is a gamer makes him even more precious. I was playing Yakuza 0 while listening because there’s a business mini game you need to grind in order to get a stronger fighting style and this made it more enjoyable. If you’re still looking for any recommendations Joe, I think you’d get some enjoyment out of Dredge, a fishing simulator/lovecraftian horror game. If that’s a bit outside your comfort zone though, I’d highly recommend a game called Outer Wilds, a space exploration game that I implore you to go into as blind as possible, as it plays off of the fact you don’t know anything about it. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the new games coming out this year or any older games you’re just now getting around to playing

    Because my family are from Buffalo too, and then migrated over the years to AZ, in and around Phoenix, I always think of these two places as inextricably linked. Like yin and yang. Extreme winter, extreme summer. For many years me and family members have travelled back and forth. Many Buffalonians seem to end up there. Running away from all the lake effect snow, and overcorrecting in the process. Meanwhile, my cousins born in AZ came to Buffalo to marvel at the snow and escape the oppressive heat. The balance.

    I'm gonna recommend for any sleepy listeners or joe himself bugsnax- which is a very strange game about catching and eating bugs- and rubber duck sim- a game about watching some rubber ducks drift in a pool, and that's it.

    It’s always reaffirming to hear how much others got out of games too, lets me know I’m not just a weirdo in that regard

    Hearing Joe refer to men’s “big juicy asses” made my life complete!

    I'm excited to listen to this podcast Joe, but I have to admit, I was really looking forward to the episode on turbulence that you mentioned last month! Here's hoping you get around to it in a future episode!
