49:25 – Spicy Thai food, student housing mates, finding out we have Danish relatives, IKEA trips (the wonderful new cafés, custom tables, impulse purchasing), the coffee triangle, remembering David Bowie and Alan Rickman (mix tapes, fabulousness, ultimate villains), stupid things said about their passing (keeping their sicknesses a “secretâ€, that they “looked†healthy), re-recording episodes, jobs, and the ever-elusive letterbox key from strata.

40:26 – A mini heatwave and monsoon, psychological torture, taking the stairs in lieu of lifts, Sydney’s expensive New Year fireworks, late 1990s DirectX graphics, feeling like the world is a simulation, viewing empty skylines, nihilism and being the only real person, beautiful bird sounds, evening storms, taxis targeting pedestrians, a sufficiently vast universe to harbour other life, evolution, holodecks, philosophical honesty, rendering the world around humans, the observer effect, and that darn Star Trek Prime Directive!

24:05 – A shorter exposition of three terrifying scary trends: Ruben messing up Rubénerd Show 318, the changing of Lift to Fanta Lemon, and becoming subservient to computers through floods of information. Listener feedback provided by Jimbo.

59:48 – Drizzly data centre trips, birds, cryptographic randomness (lava lamps, headphone cables as sources of entropy), uber-ing a crowdsourced paradigm of synergising disruption, listener feedback (Jimbo, Bi-Coastal Becky), hoarses [sic], Jimbo interviewing me on his podcast, Kevin Tan, functionally-challenged data centre bathrooms, trudging through the rain, high school athletics I didn’t suck at (gymnastics, badminton), winning a primary school writing contest, and finding the chipset from the first computer I built in 1998. Now with all-new abrupt endings!

54:06 – Post-holiday budgeting (using You Need A Budget, paying back savings, scary credit cards, caution versus fun), Organic Sumatran coffee, Steam specials (The Ship: Murder Party, Transistor, Cities Skylines, Train Simulator 2016, Flight Simulator X, Sakura Swim Club), Fallout media fatigue, wanting to visit Whitefish in Montana, Tree Style Tabs, Kent Brockman, IKEA in Marsden Park, Maltese Crosses, and playing Train Simulator live (the NS Buffel and Flying Scotsman on the Marias Pass route).

44:53 – The first episode of 2016! Join Ruben on a stunning morning in Sydney’s Circular Quay as he watches the ferries go past the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Also inexplicable discussion on traffic helicopters, naming anime episodes in Plex, puddled iron in the Eiffel Tower, palm trees, Running Man, Americans who like Vegemite, disappointing San Fran coffee, alternate terms for podcasting, The Rocks precinct, and what’s possibly Australia’s oldest surviving house.

46:14 – An unsurprisingly holiday-themed episode of the show, with discussion on musical cheer (or hipster lack thereof!), Christmas in the media (with Australian news clips), fond family memories, and likely far more stuff that your host can’t recall because he’s royally stuffed with Christmas Eve dinner and can barely think. Seasons Greetings!

01:22:00 – Travelling back to Adelaide, where I first went to university and where most of the early Rubénerd Shows were recorded in 2005! Clara from the Snake Tea Podcast joins in the pontifications about this beautiful little Australian city as we wander late at night. So much has stayed the same, yet so much has changed. Goodbye, Isobar!
