I’m meeeeeeltiiiiing

Here at the Electronic Wireless Showpodcastwe are struggling with the heat. Yes, I understand that other places in the world are hot, but right now it is hot where I am and we’re not used to it, so we’re going to complain about it and you can just live with that. Okay? Because temperature is consuming all our thoughts today is just the best heat in games.

Podcast has wares if you have coin.

NotesNate wants to talk about the specific heat mechanics inOxygen Not Included, and the weird systems inDwarf Fortress.

I cite the similar-ish stuff inNoita(trailer above) where every pixel is simulated and you can set so many cool things on fire in different ways

Everyone’s least favourite realm of hell inHadesis the hot one.

InRed Dead Redemption 2you can cook lumps of meat over your campfire, and get too hot if you’re wearing warm clothes. This is similar to how you have to put on summery clothes inThe Sims 4or your sim will be uncomfortable.

Matthew explained one of the final puzzles in the firstMetal Gear Solid, which involves remembering the temperature in bits of the base.

Nate mentions the elemental combat in Divinity Original Sin II to cheer up Matthew after the latter disclosed that he once got absolutely monstered in a Super Soaker fight for wearing waterproof trousers.

Recommendationsthis week are to revisit theIwata Asks series of interviewson Nintendo, check out natural, compostable deodorantWild(if you search for discount codes there are always loads kicking around), and to stand over the hot coals of a Pit Barrel Cooker (available from many retailers in the UK).
