This Week at Remap

Apologies for the late update on what's coming; Rob was still traveling back from Miami yesterday and it took a second to finalize things. Also, I quietly cursed myself on the road to Wisconsin this weekend, after realizing I'd packed my PlayStation Portal but not my PlayStation 5. No Saros for me. (For whatever reason, it is not available to stream via the cloud, even though you'd figure that would be a day-one priority for first-party games?) So instead, I spent the free time I had in-between social appointments with Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins. Coin by coin, I made my way towards Wario's first (!!) appearance. I mean, it's one of Janet's favorite games. I had to beat it, right?

-pk, who will share further thoughts when they record the platforming podcast; you can send questions here with the subject "Platformer"


A (slightly late) look at the week ahead for Remap.
  • PODCAST: Silksong Spoilercast (feat: Chia, Patrick, Janet, Jacob Geller) – I'm so glad this finally happened. I wish we could weave more spoilercasts into the mix, but I'll take what I can get. I'm not sure Janet will ever play Life Is Strange: Reunion, though! But I promise we'll do a second Silksong spoilercast whenever the DLC drops, because there's still SO much we didn't get to in here.
  • STREAM: (Almost) Daily Baby Steps (feat: Chia, Patrick) – OK, straight up, we need to move on from this game lol. Which is not meant as a ding against Baby Steps insomuch as I would like to use this streaming slot to do...other things! We're so close, so we're going to try and sneak in an hour-ish of Baby Steps as many days as we can, because at this point it's about getting more attempts.
    • The alternative, of course, is that I will simply "never do it."
    • We also came up with a way for this to all end. If I do not beat The Manbreaker by whenever the stream ends on Friday, I simply take the stairs. That's it. (God I hope that doesn't happen.)
  • ARTICLE/PODCAST: Mixtape – I am prevented from saying anything about Mixtape as a game, but I can tell you that the interview I had with the developers was the most fun I've had chatting about a game in years. Deep Patrick Weezer lore in this.
  • STREAM: Amberspire (feat: Rob, Chia) – It's time for the strategy sickos to get a new treat.
  • PODCAST: Remap Radio (feat: Rob, Patrick, Chia, Janet) – How much will this be video games and how much will his be travel tangents from Rob's time in Miami?
  • ARTICLE: Letter Series (feat: Rob, Patrick) – Topic TBD. This one got away from us last week.
