Anime Sickos

You know how sometimes you play a video game where you hold a big fuckin plastic gun and it goes pow pow. That kicks ass to us. Guns are like the coolest thing in the world (only when fictional or toy version)

Whitney Reynolds goes guesto mode! We discuss their inexplicably verified Twitter account, the siren call of shitty mobile games, how they craft unique soup creations, and cats. Check it out!

The Sickos discuss the roguelike deckbuilders they've been playing lately, Roguebook and Griftlands, and how their preponderance of ancillary game systems outside of the core card game dilutes the overall experience. Basically we're just gonna play Slay the Spire forever

As though it weren't enough to live in a world so beset with catastrophe, people keep insisting you have to be worried about it all the time! The Sickos discuss how this impulse to remind others to be worried is demonic and demonstrably anti-life. Plus, Tom shares stories of how international travel is fucked, and on Cog Talk we discuss Joe's impending return to the office.

Trump is gone, but comedy still refuses to not suck! Since it's not allowed to talk about the Main Part (the imminent collapse of society), all that is left is empty culture war where people point at things and go "that's good!" or "that's evil!" It's not very funny! Plus, we finally remember to do the Fruit Tournament again, finally completing round 2!

The Sickos indulge in frankly disgusting levels of self-congratulation as they go behind-the-scenes to relive the process of producing The Tragical History of Modesty City, a five-act audio play that took a year of secret work to complete.

The Sickos share what manga/comics they've been reading lately, specifically: Kengan Omega, Shamo, Usogui, One Piece, Orc Stain, and The Marquis. If you like comics, check it out (and we're sorry you also have the "likes comics" debuff applied to you)

The Sickos are back with a brand new slop experience that goes down smooth. We define "Dude Time," a horrible time late at night where you turn to sludge. Then, we debut a brand new segment, Cat Talk, to discuss Joe's awesome new cats. Then, we read listener-submitted cog stories on the first crowdsourced Cog Talk. Folks, this is one tasty spoon of slop!

Riley Hopkins (of The Podcast Mines and many others) steps in for Tom as the Sickos discuss the nightmare hell of working retail during the pandemic, in which the demons who already wrought their infernal torture on all workers suddenly get a massive automatic power-up as their very breath can now potentially kill you for real. Plus, we sing the praises of the offline wife (the purest kind of genius) Check out Tom over at The Podcast Mines with Andrew Sherman: https://the-podcast-mines.pinecast.co/episode/51c479ed/anime-sickos-sickos-feat-anime-sicko-tom-harrison-
