Coming back after a summer break and it was a riot! Enjoy!

Buckle up for one of our most unhinged episodes yet.In Episode 105, the UDP crew takes on Privacy and Ponygate—a free-to-play horse racing game with a privacy policy straight out of a dystopian fever dream. From cookies to browsing history to behavioral profiling, it’s less “pony show” and more “data grab rodeo.”But that’s just the opening act.🐉 We dive headfirst into modding chaos, including Baldur’s Gate 3 respec stats, skeletons with boobs (yes, you read that right), and emotional support necromancers.🧛 Pokémon gets roasted and redeemed in real time—with a new shiny legendary raid mechanic that finally makes up for years of shiny-lock grief.🧠 We honor the legacy of modder Alex T og and discuss how community-driven creativity keeps our favorite games alive, well, and wild.🧙‍♀️ Plus: mousepads, malware, Mario lawsuits, and barbarian throw-spears that return like boomerangs from Valhalla.With banter, insights, and the occasional morally-questionable vampire, this episode proves that shouting into the internet void is still strangely therapeutic.⏱️ Chapters:00:00:00 — Intro, Cast Rollcall & Trevor Project Shout-Out 00:02:36 — Horse Game Privacy Meltdown 00:13:48 — AOL Dial-Up Ends & Internet Nostalgia 00:20:33 — UDP Meta & Legal Fine Print 00:23:01 — Nintendo Blocks Charity Speedruns 00:31:29 — Pokémon Shiny-Lock Redemption 00:36:26 — Withers Mousepads & Modding Madness 00:43:05 — BG3 Respec Stats Reveal 00:48:02 — RimWorld Modder Tribute 00:52:11 — Roundtable Catch-Up & Chaos

Apex Legends appears it has some sort of security issue as 2 pro gamers had some interesting behavior client side by a bad actor who could manipulate game servers to grant packs or drop 40 bots on you. IMEI condenses the major talking points from Pirate Software's Thor, a security specialist with 3 black badges from DEFCON and has had a role in solving other major security incidents across the government for power plant vulnerabilities and Blizzard's Red Team for bot and detour detection.

This is how you get ants! The 57th episode of UDPBroadcast. We took a break for 2 weeks and came back to more shenanigans. Aside from the interlude where IMEI lists off words that will put you on a watch list - Dead Cells publisher is stopping development of further updates to the title and is looking to focus on its other IPs.

What is worse than AI? AI that remembers things about you and the conversation. We discuss the more interesting points of this enhancement.

Palworld developers remind us that it is OK to take breaks as news outlets notice a drop in players actively playing the game.

Lastly we describe how to get ants. Fire ants. A reddit user discovered fire ants swarming all over their GPU. Delicious Thermal Paste, YUM!

This week, it seems that, to no surprise, that the Epic store is not making money. Jesse Cox reveals some unsettling bullshittery being a youtube creator and why 5 min gaming news is going to come to a slow or close. The Escapist staff mass resigned due to corporate shenanigans from Gamur, the parent company. This also means Yatzee is no longer doing Zero punctuation. But no worries, the old staff created a new organization called Second Wind! I cant wait to see what the team comes up with funded by the people that matter - the viewers and fans. we also wanted to talk about Icewind Dale Source code being lost so a remaster might not be a thing. PC Gamer published that article https://www.pcgamer.com/with-icewind-dale-2s-source-code-lost-for-good-a-full-remaster-remains-impossiblebut-modders-managed-to-overhaul-the-game-with-their-own-enhanced-edition

udpbroadcast #podcast #gaming #news #discussion @imeigaming @thenordiccajunThis week there was a LOT of blizzard to go through but some of the highlights of the week was XBox cracking down on ulicensed hardware mfg for controllers, Nintendo putting some rather insane rules in place for competitions on a commercial basis. Capcom speaking out about mods being no better than hacking and cheating. Beyond that Blizzcon is going on and boy did they drop some juicy bits! Then there is Taimanin RPG Extasy placing its playerbase in Fremium Currency debt due to an error on the developer's part. --- wtf is even this?

While we were down a Barcode, @imeigaming , this episode took a break from social issues and focused on the streamer community and some of the weird changes that have been taking place. Streaming is a hard gig, no doubt - and most of the changes really only affect the top streamers with regards to revenue. However, when you mess with influencers and how they pay their bills, it should be wise to consider the lasting effect those influencers have on others trying to achieve what they the influencers have built.

Leaks leaks and more #leaks . Normally I would not suggest a topic but between Warthunder and now some national guard airman in IT leaking HIGHLY #classified US intelligence documents to their buddies on #discord, it couldnt be ignored.

The implications of this reach into regulation and there is no telling what will be implemented to keep the gamers under control.

BEHOLD the stupidity of flexing clerance and making a literal global mistake.

This week on the UDP Broadcast, there has been an outbreak of terminations and misconduct between EA releasing 200 QA testers for Apex Legends from their Baton Rouge, LA studios, Nordic Games breaking the Sweedish Discrimination Act with investigateive help from Gender balance to investigate 2 men, and Activision blizard - AGAIN - for firing 2 QA workers for using strong language while in a group of peers when presented with the news that they would have to return to the office.

We had no IDEA that JRPG was taken as a compartamentalized western concept for games coming from Japan. @SkillUp after going to Square Enix HQ in Japan and interviewing Naoki Yoshida - Yoshi-P - as a derragatory statement near the beginning of home console video game history. For as the positive connotation is now, we explorethe effect of what we did not know about using JRPG to descripe Japaneese RPGs

Finaly we talk about @videogamedunkey and his publishing company BigMode as they were interviewed by Gameindustry.biz. WE LOVE YOU DUNKEY!

Nintendo Copyright Strike against DidYouKnowGaming

October, YT channel DidYouKnowGaming reported on failed 2004 pitch for a Zelda tactics game on the Nintendo DS

-- Heroes of Hyrule

Contributor : Dr. Lava
Nintendo used copyright strike to erase video
Channel has made hundreds of videos about Nintendo games

-- First time they responded with a takedown notice

DidYouKnowGaming tweeted:

-- This was a journalistic video documenting a game that Retro Studios pitched to Nintendo nearly 20 years ago.

This is an attempt by a large corporation to silence whatever journalism they dont like, and a slap in the face

for videogame history preservation.

Sourced to the original 22 page pitch and interview with the retro programmer who crafted it, Paul Tozour
no early build footage
Some illustrations
Video also told of hte Studio's burnout from Metroid Prime 2 and staffers wanting to try a different type of project.

This week, we talk about User interfaces spawned by the conversations of how bad Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2's user interface is hard to navigate. We even compare this to something similar that happened to elden ring but by other game designers. We touch on Capcom's report of 50% of their revenue actually came from PC sales and they are going to focus on that more. Mitsuda describes their freelance gig with Nintendo after leaving Square Enix to begin the conversation on artistic guidance. Along with Sega's decision to focus on their massive IP library with remasters and remakes of titles.

This week we hit up some hardware topics dealing with NVIDIA's 4090 series cards and the 12VHPWR cables included. Apparently it is a fire hazard if you bend too close to the connector! We also talk about a test done by a TikToker, Mryeester, testing if salt mixed with thermal paste could be a useful cooling solution for your PC.

Disney has a gacha rhythm game, Disney's Twisted Wonderland where the announcement of the character Frollo, from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, was not a good choice as their movie counterparts differs in ways they are a villain from other Disney IP.

After that, we get completely tangental on World of Warcraft Classic and the experiences we have had in our time playing both retail and classic offering. Dragonflight is coming soon!

NVIDIA Meltdown

-Cable company CableMod

--Bending cables too close to the connector

--RTX 4090 melting power cables

-Cable type 12VHPWR

--Introduced as part of the ATX 3.0 specification

--reported by Aris

--PCGamer trusted PSU expert

--Aris link testing the bending https://youtu.be/jNreBLVP6NU

--Leads to an uneven load across across the other wires which increases overheating damage.

--any bend should occur 35mm from the connector

-Avoid the cable distributed with the 4090

--PSU vendors are selling alternate connectors that ditch the bulky connector for a single cable that terminates itoo two 8-pin power connectors on a PSU.

https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/25/23422349/nvidia-rtx-4090-power-cables-connectors-melting-burning

Salty Thermal Paste

-TikToker Mryeester

--does weird termal paste designs on the regular

-tested with adding salt to thermal paste to try to "unlock" super cooling

--it doesnt

--theory

---Iodized salts thermal conductivity is higher than some thermal pastes, mixing the 2 would produce a miracle gloop with better heat transfer.

--results: Temps spiked at 20 degrees above normal

-quote from cooling experts Noctura

--"The thermal conductivity of salt is much lower than that of traditional filler materials such as aluminum oxide or other metal oxides," a rep tells me. "Also, salt particles keep the cooler from making good contact with the CPU, so that thermal performance will be poor due to poor contact. Last but not least, there's a high risk of corrosion issues."

https://www.pcgamer.com/cpu-cooling-company-definitely-doesnt-recommend-adding-salt-to-your-thermal-paste/

Disney Twist

-Mobile game : Disney Twisted Wonderland

--Gacha rhythm game where players spend gems to roll for studen characters based on disney villains.

-Issue with Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame

--racist in the original Disney Movie

--known for calling Romani character a racial slur and claming that her people are "not capable of real love"

-The Twisted Wonderland characters are not the same as their original inspirations

--lore: Twisted Wonderland vilains did exist at some point inthe past though they are known for positive qualities rather than the crimes they may have commited in the movies.

--creating narrative distance from movie counterparts.

Stadia is being shut down and that leaves a lot of questions for not only the users - who have a sunset date in mid January 2023 - but the developers that have lost a whole revenue stream. To make matters worse, they did not notify the developers before announcing the sunset over twitter.

This week, we talk about some of the practices we see with developers misrepresenting, misleading, or outright lying about their games before launch. This comes at the heels of 2 PCGamer articles regarding a mobile game that is a Witcher knockoff and a Kotaku Article for God of War clone for Xbox.

Loot boxes come into the picture with some of this and we focus on how the EU is backing off making legislation for loot boxes and how Belgium is unable to enforce the loot box rules they have implemented.

We then move to China with their loot box rules and begin the conversation with how difficult it is to release a game in china due to some of the barriers involved along with the 80+day review period.

We also touch on Microtransactions and their role in gaming using Diablo Immortal as an example since they have hit a 100 million in revenue across all mobile platforms in 8 weeks. Second only to Pokemon Go who achieved this in a single week.

This week, we talk about unionization of game developers within the scope of Activision Blizzard King. IMEI gives a great breakdown of what a union can bring to not only the software developers, but how it can benefit many across all disciplines. We touch on the Bungie v.

We finish off with talking about Stray and some of the neat things with raising funds for actual stray cats as well as Top Cat releasing some really cool swag for your favorite real life feline.
