Episode 10: Stray, Part 1
I play the video game Stray, while telling stories about cats.
Corrections / Clarifications:
-
I conflated two things - Slylock Fox and Sly Cooper. It was Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus.
-
Controllers work better when charged. I kept having issues with mine because it was almost dead and kept turning off. Then I plugged it in and edited out all that fail, but I still make reference to it in the commentary.

Episode 8: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Playthrough
with special guest, Miles!
Also in this episode:
- Max and Tony visit.
- Matt makes a bunch of Dad jokes.
Corrections / Clarifications:
-
Shredder’s real name is Oroku Saki, not Hiroku Saki
-
Yes, they did spell “dimension” wrong in the epilogue - it’s spelled as “dimention” there. According to Interwebs, this a common misspelling.
-
There are some quiet segments with audio drops, making it sound “choppy”, because I had my noise gate set wrong. My apologies, but I’m still learning this audio stuff. I tried to reconstruct it. Hopefully, it’s doesn’t distract from your listening too much.
Episode 4: MiSTer tour, dual RAM install and some NES games.
We start by disassembling a MiSTer FGPA retro console, installing a second RAM module, reassembling and testing it. Then I give a tour of its features, and finish by booting up the NES core and playing some games - Gauntlet II, Home Alone 1, Home Alone 2, Karnov

Corrections:
-
I say that the board is fabricated by Intel. This is incorrect. It’s made by Terasic. The FPGA is an Altera part, and Altera was owned by Intel, until 2024 (I did not know that it was no longer owned by Intel until I looked it up when writing up this note).

Episode 9: Making Maps with Master of Realms
Creating maps for my Forgotten Ruin RPG and Adventure wargame using Master of Realms Prerelease.
Corrections / Clarifications
-
Apologies again for the audio quality. I underestimated both how directional my new microphone is, and how much I actually move my head. Some audio was lost entirely, but I was able to save most of it via extensive audio editing. The downside to this, however, is that there ends up being a lot of background hiss in the barely salvageable sections. I will correct this in later episodes.
Episode 7: Creating an RPG Assistant with AI
Creating an AI assistant for any RPG which runs locally using Ollama and OpenWebUI. Also, Tony visits, and I tell some RPG stories from “back in the day”.
Clarifications and corrections:
-
The AI knows that my name is Matt because I created a user profile (not shown) telling it so.
-
When Llama 3.2 claimed Gary Gygax’s true name to be Gabor Gygax, I think it was hallucinating. I can find no corroboration for this assertion. Still, I did ask it to be a wizard, and didn’t give it a first name, so it might have just been being creative.

Corrections:
-
I say that the board is fabricated by Intel. This is incorrect. It’s made by Terasic. The FPGA is an Altera part, and Altera was owned by Intel, until 2024 (I did not know that it was no longer owned by Intel until I looked it up when writing up this note).
