State of the Arc Podcast

Daniel Santos @DanielSantosAnalysis joins us to discuss 'death of the author', which is a method of engaging with art that does NOT involve any consideration for what the author intended for the work to mean. Though we started out there, we slowly moved into topics like AI, God, Objectivity and whether or not people really are seeing Jesus in their coffee, toast or potato chips. All 3 of us are still trying to feel our way through to finding the best ways to analyze works of art and had a fun time exploring the possibilities that a method like this can bring to the table. However, we'll still be doing our Dev History episodes on future podcasts about dope games. Please consider supporting us on Patreon if you have the means. Thanks for watching!

The Switch 2 has been announced, thus signaling that the end of the Switch's life is imminent. As we look back on a life well lived, we remember the good times. The games that made us laugh and cry, the experiences that we'll always remember. The Switch may not be long for this world, but it will always live on inside our hearts. May it rest in peace. Much of this video is a reaction to our initial Switch review 8 years ago. You can find that review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-lLtroo1rM Remember to subscribe and join us on Patreon!

Join us and The Night Sky Prince as we discuss the future of Final Fantasy. AAA games have massive budgets and have become risky investments, which is why most studios prefer to play it safe when handling hundreds of millions of dollars to create one game. The downside of this is that players are left with a homogenized product that doesn't look or feel too different from the other games being heavily marketed. How competitive has Final Fantasy been in this strategy? Let us know your thoughts and leave a comment if you would like to contribute to the conversation.
