We're here to do our legally obligated Baldur's Gate 3 episode, but don't worry about spoilers. We're much more interested in why this game has exploded in the way that it has, and what its surge in popularity (and other games' like it) can tell us about how we engage with games as a community.

Together Among the Stars: An Actual Play Post-Mortem

This week, we work a little differently and talk through an episode we recorded for a different show!

Things Left Behind

This week, we're more on our artsy bull than ever! We set out to talk about additions to remakes and re-releases of games that leave something to be desired, before RAPIDLY shifting into a discussion of the value of limitation, the interesting choices that come out of necessity, and how it feels to leave those things behind when they're no longer necessary.
