There's No Rest for the Wicked nuns
Plus, a fantastic video essay on Starship Troopers and Helldivers
Listen to this week’s episode
What if you combined Dark Souls and Diablo, then added a pinch of city-building mechanics and survivor elements? You’d get No Rest for the Wicked from Moon Studios, the team best known for the Ori games. It’s ambitious and bound to inspire conversations — even in its Early Access stage. In the back half, Plante updates the team on 2024’s best nun simulator: Indika!

I just wanted to second Russ’s recommendation of Solo Solo Travel and recommend 3 other channels with a Similar Tone and Genre (First Person Travel).
DancingBacons is basically the brother to Solo Solo Travel, but for food. They go all around Asia and try stuff from the cool ramen restaurants and machines and candies to expensive Sushi or anything else that seems cool.
4K WDW is Solo Solo Travel but for (you guessed it) Disney World. They do everything from ride throughs to walking from park to park to Multiple Hour Long “Ultimate” videos that cover the parks to as much as one can film, and they even go to different parks across the country and world sometimes. All filmed in glorious 4K as well.
Finally, there are several channels that do this, but my favorite is Walking Ambience, which does walking tours of Las Vegas. They label their videos and point out highlights as you go along and are also in 4K HDR.
Hope this helps anyone who enjoys these kinds of videos or wants to show off their new High Definition TV.
