Privacy and Ponygate
from UDP Broadcast Hosted by Luminari Weekly
Buckle up for one of our most unhinged episodes yet.In Episode 105, the UDP crew takes on Privacy and Ponygate—a free-to-play horse racing game with a privacy policy straight out of a dystopian fever dream. From cookies to browsing history to behavioral profiling, it’s less “pony show” and more “data grab rodeo.”But that’s just the opening act.🐉 We dive headfirst into modding chaos, including Baldur’s Gate 3 respec stats, skeletons with boobs (yes, you read that right), and emotional support necromancers.🧛 Pokémon gets roasted and redeemed in real time—with a new shiny legendary raid mechanic that finally makes up for years of shiny-lock grief.🧠 We honor the legacy of modder Alex T og and discuss how community-driven creativity keeps our favorite games alive, well, and wild.🧙♀️ Plus: mousepads, malware, Mario lawsuits, and barbarian throw-spears that return like boomerangs from Valhalla.With banter, insights, and the occasional morally-questionable vampire, this episode proves that shouting into the internet void is still strangely therapeutic.⏱️ Chapters:00:00:00 — Intro, Cast Rollcall & Trevor Project Shout-Out 00:02:36 — Horse Game Privacy Meltdown 00:13:48 — AOL Dial-Up Ends & Internet Nostalgia 00:20:33 — UDP Meta & Legal Fine Print 00:23:01 — Nintendo Blocks Charity Speedruns 00:31:29 — Pokémon Shiny-Lock Redemption 00:36:26 — Withers Mousepads & Modding Madness 00:43:05 — BG3 Respec Stats Reveal 00:48:02 — RimWorld Modder Tribute 00:52:11 — Roundtable Catch-Up & Chaos
