If Life Is a Simulation, Who Should Write the Game?

This episode allows Martin and Kouji to flex their nerd gaming muscles. Hear Martin seethe over my shallow grasp of legacy graphic engines. I attempt to return serve with an origin story of Halo, but it is too little too late… game, set, and match Mr. Killman.The foundational piece of media for this conversation is a 30 minute stand alone episode in Apple TV’s Mythic Quest called Dark Quiet Death. Aside from providing fertile material for my AI songs, the episode is one of my favorite pieces of television. If you don’t have Apple TV, spend the $3.99 to watch this show, but you can still listen to the song and get the gist of the show.We discuss the tension between creativity and commercialization. It is a fine balance that is hard to nurture and even harder to maintain.Is there any piece of media that you would like to see deconstructed in my professional opinion? Let us know. And definitely let Martin know if the AI songs bring joy into your life.Some notes for the not-so-nerdish, I don’t think Martin’s RPG hobbies are rocket propelled grenades, they are role playing games.
