Everything the anchors say on this tape, story by story.
GRANT BRICKMAN: A Witcher 3 ghost story in the fog of Velen has a writer wondering where it has been for ten years.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Now the full story. GamesRadar's RPG Club is back in The Witcher 3 for the Remastered update, and one quest has a writer rattled. Gary? ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: It's A Towerful of Mice, the club's fourth quest of the month. The writer says they found it ten years too late. ▶
GARY: Gary here, in the arcade, rating it like a game. A haunted tower, frightened locals, love that refuses to quit. Gothic horror in brackish Velen. Four torches out of five. ▶
GARY: It sits inside Keira Metz's storyline, recommended level six, so it's one of the game's earliest ghost stories. Popcorn says sorry to the ghosts. ▶
GARY: Here's the footage: the boat trip to Fyke Isle. Fog, dark woods on both banks of a thin river, and a pale drowner flitting between the trees. ▶
GARY: The only bright spots in the night are Geralt's bobbing white bun and the flashes of that drowner. The writer has completed the quest once. Back to you. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The report doesn't say what makes it psychedelic. The headline promises it, and the excerpt stays in the fog. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Remastered, you say. So they fixed the ghosts. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: They updated the game, Grant. ▶
REPO CHECK (PXL)
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Repo Check: a trending GitHub repo with a lot of stars and a lot of questions.
GRANT BRICKMAN: It's Repo Check. Today's patient is pbakaus slash impeccable, a design vocabulary for your coding agent. It gained a pile of stars today. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: On the card: 2,299 new stars today, 96,740 in total. The listed language is Rust. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: It is 11 months old. Last release on October 26th, 93 releases in all, 61 contributors. ▶
KAI: Huge! Steer with polish and bolder, audit the slop before it ships. This is the future, Greta. I'd review it on a mechanical keyboard, obviously. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Slop. Is that a cloud thing? I assume the AI scrapes it off the server. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: The numbers don't say how it is used. 326,215 npm downloads last week is a count, not a verdict. ▶
KAI: Five thousand six hundred seventy-two forks! Huge! Everybody wants their own slop filter. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The card says Rust, the downloads are on npm. The numbers don't tell us how those fit. That's an open question, not a finding. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Repo Check is done. Star it or don't, but mind the license. ▶
[AD · fictional product] Dashwell
DR. VERA VECTOR: Do you tense up when a car behind you beeps? Ask your doctor about Dashwell, the calming tablet for people who are about to buy a car.
DR. VERA VECTOR: Dashwell helps you accept the lease, the mileage and the tiny pine tree hanging from the mirror. Feel calm about the dealership.
DIRECTOR MARGE: May cause loyalty to one parking space, humming at red lights, cupholder overconfidence, naming your sedan, and a glovebox full of napkins.
