September 12, 2018 Lesbian Ghost (Kazue Souma from Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds and Edo Blossoms)
Today on Evaludate, Air and Madelyn come to the startling realization that the 2nd best boy in the game might be a clone of the player character, or maybe just a shonen protagonist possessed by the restless spirit of a lesbian, in this dive into another new addition to the vampire zombie samurai lineup.

August 29, 2018 Pwease no Personal Responsibility :3c (Hachiro Iba from Hakuouki: Kyoto Winds & Edo Blossoms)
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion of potentially triggering themes such as: Violence, Death, Sexual Assault, Rape, and Intimate Partner Abuse. Please listen with caution.
Today on Evaludate Air and Madelyn discuss one of their most hated new additions to the latest port of Hakuouki, and wish with all their hearts they were talking about a good boy instead of the framing of sexual assault and prioritization of partners' desires over personal safety in Hakuouki.

August 15, 2018 Harvest Moon Speedrun (Relationship Mechanics in Social Sims)
Dating sims aren't the only place to find romance in the video game world, and today we're exploring the genre that introduced us to romance mechanics: Social Sims! We'll get down on the farm with Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, and complain about the romance mechanics in the technically-social-sim-aspects of Persona!

August 01, 2018 We're Gay, it's Fine (The Ladies of Otome)
In perhaps an inevitable move, we took a whole two episodes to get tired of boys and start talking about girls. (Don't worry, we'll be back to dudes next episode. Probably.)
So today, we're looking at the three roles women get to play in the otome genre: supportive pal, conniving rival, and protagonist of varying levels of blank slate. (And the super rare romanceable lady?)
