Anime Sickos

The Sickos do the unthinkable: not only do we talk about anime (!!), we talk about two different anime (!!!). We discuss the comically bleak teens-in-mechs anime 86, and the absolutely lovely Ranking of Kings, a show about a little guy who goes around. Turns out some of these cartoons are actually good to watch

Oops! Someone spilled something on the machine that makes sketches down at Sickos HQ and now it won't turn off!! Enjoy 50 minutes of extremely stupid sketches from your favorite boys of online!

Quinn Welsh-Wilson guest runs a one-shot game of the RPG Hard-Wired Island for the Sickos, as they take control of Tooltip and Paste Special, two average cogs working in Shin Sicko City who are about to learn more about this cyberpunk dystopia than they ever wanted to know. This one's silly, folks

The Sickos identify what it is that makes people connect with the show: it's because we're always fuckin complaining and whining, the objectively most fun thing to do, and something those in power really want to make illegal. Then, we return to the fruit tournament to determine the Elite Eight with some truly shocking bouts!

It's back to the zoo as the Sickos recount some of the funniest, stupidest, and confusingest posts ever. Yes, social media is a nightmare, but when you gather all of its gems into a fun little exhibit? Well it's still a nightmare but at least there's a sick thrill that comes with

The Sickos run through a truly awful Twitter thread claiming to contain the 20 best podcast episodes ever. Every single one is 4 hours of business tips by VC freaks and former Navy SEALs. This thread represents a pure distillation of Demon Mindset, the terminal brain disease you get when you start listening to podcasts about work during your free time, an activity that represents the Devil winning and taking over your body.

Professional comics-doer Evan Dahm (Rice Boy, Vattu, Island Book, etc) goes guesto mode! We discuss the transcendent perfection of the Dragonball manga, how playing JRPGs on bootleg Chinese consoles is fun and cool, and what it's like to make a living on art in a world that really seems to not want you to do that. Check it out!

The Sickos finally identify the Western version of anime: Prestige TV. Plus, we get a Kong Dog update, talk about the funniest parts of the 351Elec Discord, and debate whether shoot em ups are fun games to play or cruel punishments it's impossible to enjoy

The Sickos have been doing this for 100 episodes! We take a moment to reflect on how it's very hard to come up with episode ideas when you've already had to come up with 100 ideas and also the world provides you with no new stimulus. Then, we indulge in disgusting levels of smugness as we share words of congratulations from some of our closest sicko homies. Here's to 100 more!

The Sickos present a finely-honed slop experience. We introduce a new segment, "Anbernickos," in which we discuss the ways our Chinese Gameboys are solving all our problems, finally read some more user-submitted stories in Cog Talk, and welcome guesto Kevin Johnson back on the show for Cat Talk as we talk about how Kevin is fostering the best cat who ever lived.
