we finish our first pass of the games we played and chat about the many games we're making each other play and the many more that only one of us has time to play. our journey through the epic highs and lows of toxic yuri is just starting though, so don't feel too sad about this being an ending of sorts.

next time, we'll be covering the first ten games we told each other to play! that's Phageplay Basic, Glow of Honeydew, Veil of Mammillaria, rot with me, Helleborine, The Angel Factory — 엔젤 팩토리, That Good Idea, SWIM4SWIM, TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME, and summersound.

we're back to tyvnj coverage! a second jam has come and gone and we're here to sort through the almost 500 games for the handful of (read over 140) games we're going to cover in the coming episodes. we both made lists, combined them, and drafted from that list the games we each were going to play. it's not the most action packed episode but i hope you enjoy.

next time, we'll be back talking about the games we played!

The brief yet challenging era of Prototype comes to a close with an unbelievable, jaw dropping twist! Not from the book, but from one of your beloved hosts! For Yuri Teatime we're also wrapping up the Chiaki route of White Album 2 with some highs and some lows, which is more than could be said about the protoypically mid Fragments of Sky Silver.

Next time, we'll be covering... The Toxic Yuri VN Jam 2! We'll be spending several episode discussing a portion of the unbelievable ~500 entries to the jam, tarting with a draft episode wherein the two of us determine just how many games we'll be playing this time around.

white album 2 is good again?! chiaki being evil has saved us from our run of underwhelming sections of wa2. she's such a freak. also a freak? manaka, but she's deeply boring with it. volume 5 of protofragments is focused on her an unfortunately doesn't have any new insight to her character.

next time, we'll be covering the remainder of protofragments. and for yuri teatime we're wrapping up chiaki's route.

gonna be honest, we recorded this one a month and a half ago so the details escape me. unlimited blade works is bad, chiaki is intentionally(!) exhausting, you should listen.

next time, we'll be covering fate/prototype fragments of sky silver v5 and the first half of the chiaki route.
