33: You don't have to be an idiot to be hypocritical: an actual video game discussion

Oh my god can it be true? Are we actually talking about video games again? HELL YEAH WE ARE. Who would have thought?? No Greek philosophers this week, buddies. We're talking about those pixels and how they make us feel.

Specifically: we're talking about reality in video games. But actually, this just serves as a launching pad for a broader discussion about Triple-A video game design, video games that want to be movies, why every big-name game is a billion hours long, and how "realism" is often code for "endless tasks" and "inventory management."

Join us as we discuss Red Dead Redemption (1 & 2), Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Final Fantasy VII, Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Fortnite, Red Faction, Nier: Automata ("Aw-taw-mah-tah"? "Au-toh-mahta"?), The Sims, ALL THE FIRE EMBLEMS, and, uh, Sonic Adventures 2.
