Burning Out and Embracing Boredom in Wanderstop
Episode 84
Tuesday, 8 April, 2025
Join us as we chat about Wanderstop, a "cozy" tea shop management game about "change and tea" from the new indie developer Ivy Road, co-founded by the creator of The Stanley Parable and folks who've worked on games like Gone Home and Minecraft. In Wanderstop we play as the young fighter, Alta, once the greatest in the world, who suddenly can't pick up her sword. And she's tired. Super tired. But it's nothing. She just needs to keep going, keep pushing, like she always has. But when Alta passes out in the forest and is saved by the affable tea shop owner, Boro, he suggests she stay and take on a role at his woodland tea shop. Just until she can pick up her sword again, of course. Maybe Alta just needs a break?1:07 - Patreon shoutouts4:12 - Steven Universe (the show)21:54 - Wanderstop conversation beginsWatch the live recording of the episode on YouTube! https://youtube.com/live/1XBngY4OmH4Side Questhttps://chuffed.org/project/justice-for-mahmoud-khalilMahmoud Khalil is a Columbia University grad student and Palestinian activist who, despite being a lawful green card holder and lawful resident of the US, was abducted from his home by ICE without being shown a warrant or any charges, and is now in a detention center in Louisiana facing deportation.
