Abject Suffering 627: Cowboy Kid

This reskin of a Goemon game is kind of fun and interesting, despite its problems. But the discovery of Cowboy Kid's amazing American cover art leads us into a deep well of appreciating the Gay Cowboy trope as a celebration of having fun with the guys. The "Life at the Outpost" video is required viewing.

Real Lich Hours 86: Getting the Sarcophagus

This week we do two major dungeons, each with differing levels of quality. First, we seek out the Ankaran Sarcophagus at the Giovanni Mansion, which is empty as a tomb. But we can't open it! So we find an archaeologist captured by the Society of Leopold.

Other Segments:

• Clan Chapbook: Giovanni

• Chronicles of Darkness: The Society of Leopold

• What do we know about the Ankaran Sarcophagus so far?

Best Quality Vacuum 72: Hero

What's an upstart lawyer who's suddenly flush with cash from a perfectly legitimate retainer with a new client? Become someone's doppelgänger to spite them, and put on the best publicity stunt Albuquerque has ever seen!

Call and Response: WOFF! Dispatch September 2025

Hello! The purpose of this post is to call for your questions and prompts for WOFF! Dispatch. Please respond by Tuesday, September 16 by leaving a comment on this post.

We're looking for two kinds of things:

1. Suggestions for our long-form discussion prompt.

2. Q&A about the shows, behind the scenes details, and miscellaneous (including off-the-wall and off-topic questions). Ask us about games or other media, life in general... You name it.

One caveat we've given in the past:...

The Level 557: Silksong True Ending EXPLAINED

Kaye, Ben, and Moxie talk about Silksong, Schedule I, the Mewgenics gameplay reveals, and much more!

The Grind:

• Kaye: Silksong.

• Moxie: Silksong.

• Ben: Schedule I.

The Multiplayer:

• What non-boss enemy always gets you?

The End Boss:

• Mewgenics gets release date.

• Pacific Drive: Whispers in the Woods expansion is going to be very folk-horror.

Watch Out for Fireballs! 489: Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye

Outer Wilds is a cozy adventure game about the thrill of exploration and the triumph of curiosity. You walk in the footsteps of a long-gone civilization to find your way out of a deadly time loop, ultimately triumphing and being reborn. The game's expansion, Echoes of the Eye, takes a bit of a darker tone. You explore an artificial world haunted by precursors who aren't quite as gone as you've been led to believe.

There are some real design missteps here, and we talk about them, but also talk about what makes Outer Wilds in general wor...

Adaptation Decay 102: A*Mazing

This one's a treat for all the Aussies out there! A*Mazing was Australia's most beloved kids' game show in the 90s, featuring a tiny bit of competitive video game play between very easy trivia and searches for hidden objects in an obstacle course. And the entire thing was presided over by one of the most critical childrens' show hosts we've seen in our time doing this show.

We cover two episodes of the show: this one from 1994 and 2025-09-10 16:42:04 +0000 UTC View Post

RLH Call for responses: Is Bloodlines Fun?

Hey folks

On the cusp of the Clan Quest Mod hub, we ask you: Is Bloodlines Fun?

You've heard us, now we want to hear from you. When you do the calculus of "Bloodlines Masterpiece..." and "Bloodlines... fighty..." where do you land?

You have until next monday!

Future Will here.

Abject Suffering 626: Todd's Adventures in Slime World

Todd hates slime. He hates it when things get goopy. So he went to a planet full of it to exact his revenge. We, however, are indifferent to slime, and also think this game isn't too terribly bad. So we talk about the dead-end economics of the slime-content, and carousels for some reason.

Real Lich Hours 85: The Fu Syndicate

This week we wrap up Chinatown with a little science experiment... performed on us. Our quest for the Ankaran Sarcophagus has led us into the underworld of the Kuei-jin, who want to subject us to something called the Belmont Protocol. Additionally, we do some standout side quests, with one massive addition from the Clan Quest Mod.

Other Segments:

• Clan Chapbook: The Kuei-jin

• Chronicles of Darkness: Fera (animal shapeshifters)

• Up on a Soapbox: The Troika Curse

The Level 556: Go Where the Hurt Is

Kaye, Ben, Jala, and Moxie talk about Metal Gear Solid Delta, Heartworm, SPRAWL, and much more!

The Grind:

• Jala: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Alterium Shift. Cyclopean: The Great Abyss. Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy.

• Kaye: Metal Gear Solid Delta. Heartworm. Picross.

• Ben: PAX West. The Fate of the Fellowship.

• Moxie: SPRAWL. Fallen London. The Division 2.

The Multiplayer:

• Put together an RPG team out of any vi...

Public Feed Update Progress

Hey folks! Kaye here. A couple of weeks ago I posted an announcement that we're moving our audio hosting entirely to Patreon for both our Public and Premium shows alike (the free shows are still free and accessible via RSS just like before!). The process is going smoothly now and I'm doing it a few hundred episodes at a time, as I get opportunities to go in and fix titles and stuff.

I got a message from someone saying that their podcast feed was being inundated with old episodes that they've had to delete one at a time. This sucks! I d...

Watch Out for Fireballs! 488: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Bob Mackey of the Retronauts joins Kaye this week to talk about Majora's Mask, whose pitch is that you only have three days to save the world, but you have as many three days as you want. This is the bleaker and more ambitious sibling to the beloved Ocarina of Time, and it's a standout title in its own right even if it's (wrongly, in our opinion) divisive. The inhabitants of Termina walk daily under a reminder of their pending doom, and Link and his many transformation masks are their only hope against Skull Kid and his mysterious cursed mas...

Jackbox Night TONIGHT

I'll be broadcasting live on the Duckfeed Twitch channel, and patrons get priority access codes in the #duckbox-partyquack channel on our Slack.

Shame.

Abject Suffering 625: Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum

Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum advertises itself as a lost NES adaptation of the Garbage Pail kids line of collectible trading cards. In reality, it’s a modern game made by talented devs who make games for NES hardware. And it’s pretty fine! But there are so many Garbage Pail kids to talk about, so we spend most of our time camping out on them.

Real Lich Hours 84: The Tong

In this episode we put down the Tongs

Other Segments:

• The Vampire's Guide to Real Life: The Tongs

• The Handbook for the Recently Deceased: Gunplay

• Clan Chapbook: Banu Haqim

Best Quality Vacuum 71: Nacho

Let's get to know our friend Ignacio a little bit. Our friends, the Kettlemans, have gotten into a bit of a bother and Ignacio might know where they went. He was the last one to see them before they went missing, after all.

Unfilmable 79: The Mummy

Our theory is that the mummy is more of a Sorcerer in this one. This 90s oddity is an adventure movie with horror elements, but it's still pretty charming and visually compelling to this day.

Duckfeed / Retronauts Meet-Up at Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2025

Hey folks! I'm writing to let you know that we have a tentative* time and location for our meetup at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, which we will be holding jointly with the Retronauts.

The meetup will be at the Quarterworld Arcade & Bar on Saturday October 18 at 7:00pm local time. It's located at <...

QUAKSTAK 31: Worst Songs

Gwen’s obsessed with Ari Aster and Midsommar specifically, Kaye saw Weapons (but we can’t talk about it), Gary reads the Ballad of Black Tom.

Abject Suffering 624: Gender Wars

It’s hard to think of a more damning indictment of the state of the world in 2025 than the fact that a cheap RTS developed to shock people with gender stereotypes in 1996 is really tame in comparison to what happens today. What happens in this game is by no means good, but it plays in tropes that are so outdated as to be cartoonish. Tim HomeImprovement would tell it to get better material.

I'm really sorry about that email blast

Hey everyone! I want to apologize for that email blast you just got. I was importing an old show into Patreon to check that the process worked, and it automatically emails everyone by default when you do that.

I'll make sure this never happens again, and give feedback to Patreon to make sure it doesn't happen for everyone else.

I understand that I'm contributing more to the email problem with this message, but I wanted to assure you that this was a mistake and not how it's going to be from now on.

Other Segments:

• Clan Chapbook: La Sombra

• Handbook for the Recently Deceased: Obtenebration

• Up on a Soapbox: Chinatowns: Can they not be racist?

Patreon is adding public feeds

Hey folks, Kaye here. I'm writing to let you know about a minor change coming to the way public episodes across the network are served. I'm currently testing a new feature for Patreon that gives podcasters the ability to host public feeds on Patreon itself, which should greatly simplify the way you get our content. I've already run some experiments that assure me I'm not making you the kind of guinea pigs that get a small and tragic lab funerals.

I'll get the headline out of the way: We are not moving all of ou...
