Are you talking about ones in our personal collections?  Or ones that replaced others in a publisher's product line?


Ya, I was thinking in personal collections.  For example, for me ASLSK got replaced by LNLT.  Usually such discussions devolve into fun counter arguments about whether or not the reasons given were "true enough" or universal.

I can't download the podcast.

I use Castro and have dozens of podcasts currently downloaded, including many downloaded and listened to in the last few days. And I've downloaded nearly all of the previous episodes.

I get a "failed to download. cannot parse response" error when I attempt to manually download this episode.

Is anyone else having any problems with this episode?

not that this is going to solve you problem, but I'm wondering if you can play the podcast from it's browser page.

if so, then your machine is capable of parsing the file, and it's a different problem

It'll play through the browser, but it won't download into Castro.

But not to be a podcast snob, for lots of good or not-so-good reasons, I use my podcast app for all of my podcast listening.

I totally don't think that at all!

I was just trying to help weed out some particular problems to help w/ the troubleshooting

I found a setting in the season-specific feed that seems to have been off.  Try refreshing the feed in your podcast app and see what you get.

Still not working.

And I tried to re-download the last podcast (S8:E13) and got the same error, although I had previously downloaded and listened to it.

I tried to listen whilst I was playing The Hunters guys - but I just can't do two things at once anymore.

What I heard, I liked  :bigthumb:

that helps.  and I'm trying to see if others have reported similar errors for other podcasts to ID the issue, but so far it looks like it might be Castro-specific

Mentioned in Dispatches Podcast S9 Ep 2 ~ Games vs Sims (w/ Volko Ruhnke)

This isn’t one of our longest podcasts, but we certainly pack a lot into it, with Volko making some great points about simplification, James explaining how models become interactive, and Rocky adding the all-important qualifier of “to me” to just about everything.

Mentioned in Dispatches Season 9 Ep 2
Games vs Sims

Howdy and welcome to episode 2. Brant posted links to many items discussed in this podcast and I'm not going to duplicate his work. If this topic interests you, I encourage you to follow those links. Now onto the rest of the info...

Articles & Books

Mr. Ruhnke mentions a recent article from C3i and doesn't provide a title, nor much more info; however, the topic is about the idea of what games mean "to me". I think Mr. Ruhnke is referring to the article "Snakes & Ladders #2: That's Not a Wargame!" in the latest issue of C3i Magazine #35.

A wargame Spy Story from Len Deighton (Spy Story, Panther Books, 1974)

Koster, R. (2014). A theory of fun for game design (2nd ed.). Oreilly Media Inc. - Dr. Sterrett briefly makes mention of how Raph Koster, as a thought experiment, provides an alternative way to describe Tetris. It's on page 172 of the 2nd edition and on page 168 of the 1st edition.

OK, a day late, but not a dollar short, here's this week's episode, and we're blaming it on Adam (the topic, not the outage)
