Remap Radio 161 - Moist Boy

The gang discuss the fate of Arkane, the onslaught of games and mods in the age of AI, and whether the election results spell trouble for AI and data centers. Then it’s time to talk the Ocarina of Time remake and (for some reason) Link’s moisture levels. Rob has been playing Ratline and has some thoughts about what makes a good mystery and the difference between theme being a flimsy frame or a load-bearing pillar. Then Patrick’s high on Hellraiser and it triggers some massive introspection about whether we can call it good.
