The only game I play way too much still is Spelunky. I'm well over 1000 hours on that now.
I'm in a weird spot where I'm in 30+ hours of Zelda without having done basically any of the story stuff and instead just been enjoying exploring and climbing shit and solving shrines.
I'm kind of worrying that I should maybe reign in my meandering, I don't want to be left bee-lining the main story for lack of side stuff to do in the end (or maybe the game really is so large that that's a silly concern). Never had this kind of sustained aimlessness in a game before, maybe the closest would be Morrowind or Oblivion or Souls games in a different sense. Really great feeling.

Go to your profile and it should be there provided you have played the game at least ten days ago from the time you are checking. It won't give you an exact amount, but it is better than nothing.
Go to your profile and you'll see it. Though only if you've been playing for over 10 days. Before that it just tells you when you started playing
I may have focused too much on getting stronger in Zelda because I just facetanked a dungeon boss and murdered it in seconds. It was only the second dungeon I did but I'm gonna guess I might have 'overleveled' for the other two as well. Despite what Jeff keeps saying about a lack of progression, random enemy camps are now running around with 45+ attack power weapons presumably because I've been killing them so much. And I have armor with like 56 defense upgraded almost entirely from common monster parts and it took almost all of the parts I've looted throughout the game.
I should just go crash the castle early and see what happens. I was able to take on Guardians a long time ago (with difficulty) and I'm way stronger now.

I might be on this path as well. Do monster camps get stronger with every respawn?

Drew Scanlon is that meme guy right? Didnt he start something called Map Cloth or something like that. He seems cool as a guest.

The dungeon bosses are always easy. But yeah if you are running around with 56 defense you are basically using post game level of equipment as it takes 10s of hours of grinding to get that.
Enemies upgrade in tier after blood moon once you've killed enough of that type.
As you kill monsters, stronger varieties of them will appear when they respawn. Like for Bokoblins, it'll go red -> blue -> that brown with the leopard print? and they get significantly tougher. That's kinda fixed my criticism that aligned with Jeff about weapon durability. As you get deeper into the game, enemies drop more high quality items that last longer. The weakest weapon I have is still like 24 and lasts for a decent amount of battles
I wasn't expecting to say this, but my most anticipated part of Nintendo's E3 may be the hard mode DLC talk. And it's slated for Summer, hopefully that means they drop it at the end of their conference

Now that I'm done with Zelda I can get back to my Mass Effect trilogy replay. Need to get them all done before Andromeda comes out. I'm up to 2 at the moment.

What's the Mondter Hunter like game Jason was talking about?

haha I came to say this exact thing
At this point, he's doing them the favor by deigning to appear on their podcast. If anything, it's returning the favor of having him shill them on his Patreon.
Could this be another Stardew Valley situation where Capcom just couldn't be even bothered to try on PC and then the imitator becomes uber popular?

Welcome back!
drew literally just posted in discord chat
Man, I'm not into the discord business and all that but I may have to pop in if Drew is going to be posting pics there and such. Never tried it.
Jason looks so happy <3 can't wait to catch up on the Bombcast later when it drops.

Special guest Rickety Cricket:
Are we going to have a weekly Zelda hour going forward on the Bombcast?
I feel bad for laughing at this.

It's so cool that they used JD's wooden logo as a centrepiece for the podcast table.
I still follow his YouTube channel and his videos are some of my favourite stuff.
