Episode 12: Eat Dirt, Losers

Kate and Sophia talk about the 2008 “Radiation’s Halloween Hack” and our own embarrassing teenage works. We find a game of surprising quality and discuss the way it presages several core themes of Undertale and Deltarune.Topics: A correction from last week. Cereal of the dead. Painstaking hand-editing. Brandish. Forum culture. Predictions about Gaster. Yes, I know about Metal Gear. Hot chicks are awesome. “Angry gay guys using super psychic attacks is cool to think about.” Perspectives on queer representation. A return to the concept of the gamer ideology.Sources:“SCP-072 - The Foot of the Bed” by Kate“the halloween hack: a mini-documentary” by miekkonWe reference Episodes 6 (“MANCOUNTRY”), 2 (Gaster), and 3 (Carol and Toriel)Check out Sophia’s Star Wars podcast “We Have to Talk About Dash Rendar”Support SURVEY_PROGRAM’s Green Room for bonus episodes!Join the SURVEY_PROGRAM Discord or follow on Bluesky.SURVEY_PROGRAM theme music by hywell, now on Bandcamp!This episode’s music, “JUDGEMENT,” also by hywell.Subscribe on Spotify / Apple Podcasts / RSS.
