I'm so happy for Danielle and the rest! I hope they share some details about their deal and the negotiations in general.
I don't even understand the replies? Like you absolutely have some people who are clearly just shitheads picking fights because Vice but like...
The people who are legitimately trying to criticize it don't... seem to get that they're not management? Like in the replies you have someone from the union going "hey, I'm not white, also part of what we did here was requiring them to consider diverse candidates, etc." and yet people are still reacting as if they're the ones doing the hiring...?
I guess there's some that seem to be making a point of who's representing the union, which makes more sense. But I don't think a lot of even the genuine ones quite understand what the union is.

This, a hundred times over, is my favourite thing about Waypoint. I know I would find Battletech impossible to enjoy, as I'm simply no good with complex systems, but I love listening to such lush descriptions of the actions in this game. I've never seen a single screenshot but I feel I know it intimately from their joyous discussions.
My work as a games designer is driven by listening to people talk about how they love to play the games they play. Thank-you Waypoint for helping me see beyond myself.
Dang, this is an excellent read. Thanks for highlighting it.
Games as a balm for difficult times is a really interesting concept. I kinda think it might be pretty common, honestly... I've certainly used games like that, at least. And I don't think it can be just any game (not that Danielle implied any such thing)--the games that resonate with a person the most do so because they communicate something existential to said person's being.
I was about to dump on Into the Breach again but because it's Christmas I won't
Merry Christmas/Happy holidays to all the Waypointees
What if that's the name of their fif(teen)th weekly podcast starting in January though
We need a name stupid enough that no one in their right mind would officially call something that amalgamation of letters
given the best they could come up with for their spin off segment and podcast was "waypoints", no one can blame you for the lack of imagination

So Cado made a Twine game on itch, but I'm just getting a black screen in Chrome. Any ideas?!
edit: Chrome blocked a cookie from hwcdn.net for some reason, it worked after allowing that.

I just loaded up and it's working fine for me, so I'm not sure why it isn't for you. It's Twine, it's not like it's using Flash or anything heavy.
Have Waypoint ever done a guide for getting into Gundam? The best I can find is an Austin tweet suggesting starting wtih 08th MS Team and 0080: War in the Pocket, but I kinda want a larger guide on where to go and what to avoid?
The sea of thieves podcast has been one of my favorite this year. Despite despising the game due to it's constant mention on another podcast I listen to (cough p1p cough), Danika and Rob have such great contrasting chemistry. If anyone was thinking of skipping it due to it's Sea of Thieves-iness I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot.
Danika would be able to have good chemistry with a cardboard box she's that cool
It's such a pity the dream booking of her joining GB West didn't happen
Why can't reality be as good as my imagination
shitty dragons. why can't we get both Danika and Black Dragon? God.
Danika is definitely a dream GB hire. She'd piss off the guys Abby managed to rile up yesterday with mild critique as well as the cross-coast content being even better.
Yeah....I like natalie and Austin but i don't think I can listen to them for 3 hours in one podcast.
Yeah... may pass on this one. I could listen to Austin for 3 hours but don't think I can take that much Natalie.
Or just not listen to all of them. I'll probably listen to this + Sea of Thieves so far, in a week or so when I'm caught up on GOTY. And then Hollow Knight's whenever I finish that.
Not even as busy as last year, when FatT was also releasing an hour-ish episode a day for a week.

I'm curious if there's any more Waypoint video #content with Battletech since their series on youtube kinda just ends.
I can make room for a single three hour GOTY podcast episode! I don't know if I have the desire to get through the Giant Bomb stuff anymore but the Austin/Natalie ep of WPR fits what I'd want tbh. I really like the format of their year-end stuff this year
Struggling with keeping up with all of the goty podcasts. I was doing so well too now suddenly I'm three podcasts behind.
This is by far waypoint's best year end content. I'm likely biased though since their podcasts are the content I consume most readily.
Unfortunately, basically they lost easy access to the streaming room and more importantly, streaming wasn't getting the numbers necessary to keep going as compared to podcasts and such.
