BLTN Podcast: I Have Complicated Thoughts About Mother 3

About This Podcast Follow me on a three-year journey to unpack why I didn't really vibe with a lot of Mother 3. Is the game cynical? Am I viewing it from the wrong perspective? Have I run out of time to enjoy RPGs? Or did I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Why A Podcast? One thing I think could be interesting to do would be to write long-form content for bltn.net , but provide it for Patreon donos as a podcast you can listen to. I don't know how frequent this will be, because generally, I want most of my output to be video. This door is open for things that cannot be video. Sort of like that Fortnite podcast I did a couple years ago, right? That Fortnite podcast was the way it was because it took me 150-200+ hours to work my way through that story mode. Not only am I not going to capture 200 hours of video, but I couldn't even redo those missions without creating a new Fortnite account and re-purchasing the game a second time. That's the extreme end of things. On the less extreme end of things is this, a 30 hour JRPG that I do not want to make 60 hours by replaying the entire game in an emulator just so I can capture video from it. Which may also end up where a lot of these articles come from: games I play casually, that I then develop Thoughts™ about, but do not want to replay in order to make a proper video. I mention in that Fortnite podcast that I'd keep it free for an accessibility thing but I think I'll rescind that. Since these may or may not be a regular thing, I'm putting it behind the cheapest, most basic tier on the Patreon. I don't think it's too much to charge a buck for this kind of thing. Anyway.
