Why is storytelling in video games so hard? And why are climate games so rare?! Today's guest is Maciej Sułecki of 11 bit studios S.A. We discuss their amazing games This War of Mine, and Frostpunk 1 & 2. RCC host Ross Kenyon is a huge fan of all of these games for being among the most humane games he's played. Here's a brief snippet! CW: This episode briefly discusses SA during war. Please check the shownotes for timestamps to avoid.

The Reversing Climate Change podcast is back, and during spooky season no less! My good friend Daniel Backer got into Goethe about a year ago. I had previously read Faust but used it as a chance to revisit the plays, and then got sucked into all sorts of unexpected cultural eddies like Mitch Horowitz's histories of the occult and A24 horror films. I never truly found a good ending point to the research, but at some point, the show must go on! While today's Halloween spooktacular (if you will!) considers esotericism and how it is now seemingly everywhere, we also discuss the Romantic movement that Goethe helped launch, and unpack why the "Faustian bargain" term is a way more interesting and complex one than people typically think. It isn't even clear Faust thought deals with the devil were inherently bad. After all, it works out for Faust! What does that mean for climate solutions that get accused of being Faustian bargains? I think part of the reason for this cultural staying power is that the earlier interpretation of the Faust legend from Christopher Marlowe is straightforward and morally powerful. In that version, Faust is damned after his time-limited period of enhanced ability is over. It's like how everyone thinks of Don Quixote as a noble man out of step with his corrupt era, hearkening back to chivalric custom, due to the musical Man of La Mancha. If you read the actual book, the guy is an absolute menace, as likely to stab you by accident as worship Dulcinea's beauty. He reads more like an unintentionally hilarious Captain Ahab. In any case, to quote Monty Python, "and now for something completely different!" Hope you enjoy it! https://lnkd.in/g2CdJbug

Rinker Buck is an adventurer and author who drove an unsupported mule cart the entire duration of the Oregon Trail and flatboated from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. Read that sentence again. In today's podcast, Nori Co-Founder Ross Kenyon discusses with Rinker the environmental history of these places, and how they've changed over time. They also discuss if there is an American character shaped by the frontier, and how that may or may not help us deal with climate change. Tune in for a very special episode of Reversing Climate Change! https://lnkd.in/ge-XYw7q

Is economic prosperity inherently in conflict with the environment and climate change? Is a wealthier world digging its own grave? What does it even mean for the world to become middle class? Today's show has Nori cofounder Ross Kenyon hosting Dr. Homi Kharas of The Brookings Institution to discuss Homi's new book, The Rise of the Middle Class: How the Search for the Good Life Can Change the World. They discuss how the world is changing with increased economic development, and what that means for the environment and poverty. Being middle class means so many things to people, and it isn't purely about income. In some ways it is an attitude or a paradigm that changes how one approaches life and its concerns. Dr. Kharas thinks that this group may be able to have a big impact on climate change as this process continues globally.

Anyone out there have a climate-themed Seder this year?

A few years ago, Sarah Tuneberg & I made one of my favorite Reversing Climate Change podcasts. The story of Exodus is adaptable to so much—and it has echoes everywhere. The story also has a fair amount of mystery built into it, that allows for reinterpretation and debate, e.g. why does God harden Pharaoh's heart?! WHY?! I need to relisten to this myself. Hope you'll dive in too. I suspect there were more than a few climate-themed Seders this year. https://lnkd.in/gkJgU72x

A perennial question in climate, but also in life, is how much responsibility does one bear for one's actions? We are born into structures generally beyond our control, but we do control our own actions. How much weight should we put on our own actions? When structures incent one to make bad decisions, is it the structure or the individual we should look to? Or is it both?! Today's show has Nori's Ross Kenyon and Thanks a Ton's Siobhan Montoya Lavender interviewing professional skier and filmmaker, Amie Engerbretson, director and subject of the new short film, The Hypocrite. The film deals with her own climate awakening and feelings of grief over her beloved vocation, as well as an attempt to contextualize the actions of snowmobilers and other outdoor users with a political economy based upon fossil fuels. Tune in to join the debate! https://lnkd.in/d4jBTh2M
