[Ep277] The New Vaping

[Ep277] The New Vaping

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans September 23, 2020 Duration: 1:05:26

Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss the sleep stuporous state, quarantine wardrobes, and bot wars. Do you ever think about how bugs are just cute litter butter packets wrapped in a shell? And how many goldfish crackers are calorically equivalent to a butterfly? How big or how small things are is wild. It’s a small pleasure to be able to insulate the people you love from some of the nonsense, but it’s also a pleasure to share some of it. So grab a buddy, grab your coffee, and let’s get nonsensical!

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • BscotchKarl: What is the origin of the G-Nomes, and will they ever have any use other than aesthetics?
  • Beekie Boppaboop: What order of magnitude is the number of individual butterflies in the world?
  • Flyhoppie Axerompa: How often do you guys shave your heads? Are there any surprises I need to be aware of, or is being bald pretty straight forward?

Pull up a chair and pour something warm. Each week, the folks behind the award-winning indie studio Butterscotch Shenanigans-the creators of Crashlands-sit down to untangle the messy, rewarding, and often absurd reality of making games. Coffee with Butterscotch feels less like a formal broadcast and more like eavesdropping on a freewheeling conversation between friends who’ve been in the trenches. You’ll hear them dissect the nuts and bolts of development, from art pipelines to bug-squashing, but the discussion rarely stays in the technical lane. It veers into the philosophy of creativity, the rollercoaster of running a small business, and the strange habits that fuel productivity. The tone is unfiltered and genuinely funny, because the hosts don’t separate the work from the life surrounding it. This podcast digs into how to solve problems, ship your projects, and keep your sanity while doing it, all served with a heavy dose of camaraderie and self-deprecating humor. It’s a weekly dose of insight and laughter for anyone curious about the stories behind the screen, whether you're a seasoned developer, an aspiring creator, or just someone who enjoys peeking behind the curtain of how things are made.
