Pragmata Is Like Dead Space with Optimism
4/17/20261 hr
Announced in 2020, Pragamata has finally arrived. Capcom’s new third-person shooter puts you in the boots of a space marine-type who must overcome evil robots on a moon covered in 3D-printed skyscrapers. Which comically sounds like a pretty standard video game premise. But this isn’t your standard shooter. You must solve puzzles in the middle of combat, team up with an adorable robo-kid, and navigate some classic 3D platforming in low-gravity. Kinda Funny’s Andy Cortez joins us to discuss this odd delight!

Justin McElroy· Host0:07
This cannot be just a cold open, man. This is a bonus episode. [laughs] I cannot believe... Yes, tell me everything.
Russ Frushtick· Host0:12
What are you d- I- Tell me, if you will, Russ.
Justin McElroy· Host0:14
Tell me all your thoughts on God.
Russ Frushtick· Host0:18
[laughs] What are you- I really like to hear ... so I am, I am a middle-aged man.
Justin McElroy· Host0:23
Uh.
Russ Frushtick· Host0:25
And I had my very first- A middle-aged Jewish man.
Chris Plante· Host0:29
I will actually add ...
Russ Frushtick· Host0:29
middle-aged Jewish man, it should be noted. Sure.
Chris Plante· Host0:31
Okay. Okay, yeah. That is relevant.
Russ Frushtick· Host0:32
And I had my very- Wow ... very first Easter egg hunting experience, and what the fuck are you guys doing to these children?
Justin McElroy· Host0:42
Okay. Well, I'm, let me stop you here.
Chris Plante· Host0:45
I, it- You said it's your first Easter egg hunting experience.
Justin McElroy· Host0:48
Have you hunted eggs in an, like a completely agnostic context?
Russ Frushtick· Host0:52
No, that's a fair question. No, I haven't. So I guess it is my first egg hunting.
Chris Plante· Host0:55
Second, second question. Before that, you said you are a- At these prices ... 40-year-old, middle-aged man, and you participated [laughs] in an Easter egg hunt, presumably with children. Do you think maybe what was, what was kinda weird about it- I was physically there, Chris Plant.
Russ Frushtick· Host1:11
I wasn't actually- Okay, okay.
Chris Plante· Host1:12
I- ...
Russ Frushtick· Host1:12
stealing eggs from kids. Although, there was a moment when it started where I was like, "Am I supposed to take the eggs?"
Justin McElroy· Host1:17
[laughs] [laughs] You are.
Russ Frushtick· Host1:19
Genuinely, I didn't know. I mean, all these people- The wild thing- ... are running around. Okay.
Justin McElroy· Host1:24
The wild thing about eggs is there is, I mean, to your credit, Russ, absolutely zero consistency.
