Only ONE FULL GREGORIAN CALENDAR YEAR after recording Route A we're back having played through Route B! Once again we're joined by Josh and Michael for a discussion about NieR: Automata's second play-through. If you haven't played the game (and you really should) be sure to listen to our first episode, which was episode 32. This time we dive straight into what was different this run, how we felt about those differences, and how they related to the game's larger themes. Talking points include: Are machines emotions "real", what makes emotions "real", what it means to be in a performative society, and DOES FATHER SERVO FUCK?

All music from the Nier: Automata OST. Listed below in order they were played on the show.
