Editor's note: feather screwed up her audio file and we had to pull the Craig backup! First, big ups to Craig, he's got our back (most of the time). Second, there's a few moments where here audio cuts out for a tenth of a second - it's not too bad, but be aware that it's her and not you.

I'm not sure there's a bigger divide between reality and their fictional representation than when it comes to tunnel boring machines. In reality, they're huge, complicated machines that move maybe a few dozen meters a day. In fiction, you get a little drill and you can just DIG BABEY DIGGGGG and don't even think about asking where all the dug dirt goes. We are too busy shooting off into space here! And by space, I mean the infinite bottomless void! Fuuuuuuuuuu-

In this episode: shallow core mechanics, missing Sanabi, bad bosses, sick music, Devolver skepticism, FUCKIN ENTER THE GUNGEON MIMICS FUCKING HFFESHFSC, really good shiny things, how do you fuck up a grappling hook.

Finally, we get (most) of the crew together in one place long enough to face off against the evil herobrine!

Through the power of friendship, trapping mobs in corners, infinte respawn, and more than a bit of of creative mode, we successfully defeated herobrine - and his horrible creation, the wither!

Or something. Plot isn't the strong point here. Or gameplay, if we're being honest. Mostly, we're just here to appreciate the wonder this works at all. For all the bugs and flaws, this minecraft adventure mode map is still still a shining victory of the divine creative spark over the whirling destructive chaos hell dimension that is game creation. For that, we're grateful.

In this episode: use map settings, Minecraft mechanics, the void maze, making your own fun, redstone sucks, no redstone sucks in a generational way, roblox sucks in a sadder more tragic way, user generated content.

I'm tired, we're tired, and if I had to take a guess, you're probably tired too. That's why we turn to games like stardew valley: because they suck and when we're miserable it's nice to just tear into a bunch of loser guys who live with their parents and dare to think they're anywhere near the same league as you, a perfect farming god(dess).

In this episode: being tired, here is your biweekly egg please love me, sauceless losers, harem anime protagonist, how much can one radish cost, ten dollars? He's not that interesting he just has hair, straight guy vibes, shitass bumfuck loser towns, grindan at my grindan game, cactus complaints.

We needed a short game, and we picked something we could talk for longer than the runtime. Made by Crows, Crows, Crows, "Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, And the Terribly Cursed Emerald" gives us at least 20 minutes of converstaion for you to languish in and enjoy, and we'll be back next week with, well, something!

in this episode: stone busts, secret passges, the emerald room, guards, lasers, the vault, searchlights, a motherfucking tiger... stealth sections, roleplaying in the stem forum, the trailer isn't real, strikes, davey wreden and william pugh, replay value, fourth wall theories, feather's color grading poll, the most important part of coding, andrew plotkin, super hipster lumberjack, call your mother, backwards switches

Feather's Bonus List Of Complaints That Did Not Make It Into The Episode But Should Have:

• The music is bleh nothing to the point of being terrible
• YOUR RUN SPEED IS SO SLOW I might have actually said this in the episode but I'm repeating it here.
• I can't believe we have to type the safe codes into the safe EVERY SINGLE TIME
• If I have to do the billiards puzzle ONE MORE TIME
• Why is every little cutscene 1-2 seconds longer than it should be

If Gary edited this one this would probably be a nicer episode description but they didn't so it isn't. TOO BAD, BLUE PRINCE!

In this episode: betrayal-on-the-house-on-the-hill-alikes, walk speeds, dark rooms, escape room games and escape rooms, trading notes, chess, worldbuilding?, grand unified theory of roguelikes, the joy of notetaking. Also: Oblivion.

Sphere to square, sisters. In today's communion we will remember what it was like to play a Visual Novel/walking sim where you explore exactly how bad a cult can get. /hj

In this episode: Steam Workshop asset flip, consecutive apocalypses, the Horse Room, your typical canadian/japanese school, cool glasses, garlic confit, a game made for Feather, having a cake and not eating it.
