Episode 8: Know Your Limits

Another one!

In this episode, "Know Your Limits", I talk about a whole heap of things, but mainly save points.

Some things to look forward to this time: A boss fight decades in the making, Link putting on pants, and a conversation between three thinkers who have never met.

This is the kind of series you can listen to out of order, but I’d recommend listening to the first episode at some point. It explains why this podcast exists, and was a lot of fun to make.

And I got some links for you all, both interviews with Satoshi Nakai, both very different, and both very worthwhile.

From the bonus content of Assault Suits Valken Declassified - The switch port of this SNES mecha platformer comes with this lovely interview covering Nakai's history, and his approach to mecha visual design. Thanks to the ShiryuGL youtube channel for capturing the footage.

The Crimson Head Interview - A very different interview, including the sections on horror and limits that I mentioned, but also his version of Stephen King's argument in "What's Scary?", and more focused discussion on his Resident Evil monster/character designs.
