Who else woke up to this news and wasn’t sure how to feel? Or were you psyched like Dr. Kelli? Or unaffected like Dr. Rachel? We're talking about the future of Bethesda Games, how game company acquisitions may affect everyone, and our feely feels about it all. We’re also discussing our post PAX thoughts, the good and the iffy.

It’s been getting a little heavy here, so we decided to discuss when our weather and outdoor environment changes… the seasons! The docs discuss their favorite seasons, whether they like heat or cold, and what different times of year look like where they live.

For today’s main topic, our hosts are discussing how much responsibility artists/creators have in accurately portraying mental illness and other topics in their work and considering the harm they may cause by accurately and inaccurately presenting these topics. Trigger warning at 43:30-45:30 for suicide content.

This episode we also are featuring our very first listener mail- where we discuss hype with video game releases and how much fans/marketing should be hyping a game prior to its release. Thank you so much, Guerric!
