Game translator Lone joins the podcast to chat about The Secret of Mother 2 / Earthbound exhibit happening right now in Tokyo! We chat about Earthbound’s 30th anniversary events, the analog nature of game design in the 90s, and if Life Noodles will make us live longer. In the games section I run down the roguelite monster battler Dicefolk! Plus, thoughts on the upcoming Nintendo Museum in Kyoto!
