About this episode
The episode discusses Forza Horizon 6, the decline of Destiny 2, and personal gaming experiences.
On this week’s episode, Nathan and Luke are joined by Jordan Hoffstetter of the incredibly-named Tran Girlismo podcast, a show about car culture and living during the decline of empire. We use Forza Horizon 6 , the latest in Microsoft’s long-running open-world racing series, as a jumping off point to discuss Forza , Gran Turismo , Japan, irritating story elements in racing games, and the F1 series’ surprisingly great “Breaking Point” career mode. Then we move on to some sobering news: Destiny 2 is ceasing operations as a live-service game and being put on life support. It’s the end of an era in multiple senses. Finally, Luke tells us about his still-ongoing 20-year battle with the final boss of Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap , and we discover the magic of Applerankings.com.
