Buckle up for one of our most unhinged episodes yet.In Episode 105, the UDP crew takes on Privacy and Ponygate—a free-to-play horse racing game with a privacy policy straight out of a dystopian fever dream. From cookies to browsing history to behavioral profiling, it’s less “pony show” and more “data grab rodeo.”But that’s just the opening act.🐉 We dive headfirst into modding chaos, including Baldur’s Gate 3 respec stats, skeletons with boobs (yes, you read that right), and emotional support necromancers.🧛 Pokémon gets roasted and redeemed in real time—with a new shiny legendary raid mechanic that finally makes up for years of shiny-lock grief.🧠 We honor the legacy of modder Alex T og and discuss how community-driven creativity keeps our favorite games alive, well, and wild.🧙♀️ Plus: mousepads, malware, Mario lawsuits, and barbarian throw-spears that return like boomerangs from Valhalla.With banter, insights, and the occasional morally-questionable vampire, this episode proves that shouting into the internet void is still strangely therapeutic.⏱️ Chapters:00:00:00 — Intro, Cast Rollcall & Trevor Project Shout-Out 00:02:36 — Horse Game Privacy Meltdown 00:13:48 — AOL Dial-Up Ends & Internet Nostalgia 00:20:33 — UDP Meta & Legal Fine Print 00:23:01 — Nintendo Blocks Charity Speedruns 00:31:29 — Pokémon Shiny-Lock Redemption 00:36:26 — Withers Mousepads & Modding Madness 00:43:05 — BG3 Respec Stats Reveal 00:48:02 — RimWorld Modder Tribute 00:52:11 — Roundtable Catch-Up & Chaos
