We’re sad to report that Danika is struggling through the brutal norovirus at the moment, but fortunately, Janet’s returned from the whole “getting married” thing to join Patrick and Rob to chat about a recent slew of developments about how video games are using AI and how we should feel about it. We’ve also got Silksong updates from Janet (deep into act two) and Patrick (done!), while Rob’s trying to figure out his role in Battlefield 6.

Join Patrick, Rob, Janet, and Chia as they try to understand the nature of modern soft political power, the future of EA, and more. Elsewhere, Patrick’s “finished” Silksong, at times it’s unclear if Chia will stay awake to finish the podcast (vaxxed??), and we have lengthy impressions of Baby Steps and Endless Legend 2.

Remap Radio is a new podcast from the creators of the long-running video game podcast Waypoint Radio. Join Rob Zacny, Chia Contreras, Patrick Klepek, and their friends and colleagues as they set off on a new adventure that has them obsessing over the video game Dragon’s Dogma nearly as much as they question the nature of capitalism.
