We finally get our stuff together and welcome Cameron Kunzelman of The World is Born From Zero, and Ranged Touch, and games journalism, and the upcoming Everything is Permitted to the show! We kind of have a lot of fun with this one, and I'm hoping you all have as much fun as us -- stick around to the end to hear some more about Cameron's new book on the Assassin's Creed series, and pop in up top for nickname discourse, facts on who read or purchased my book, and a series of sitcom pitches.

Follow Cameron on Bluesky at ckunzelman.bsky.social and find his new book here, and follow us at nocartridge.bsky.social and patreon.com/nocartridge. Thanks!!

Liv and Trevor dig into the delisted but wonderfully dark and intriguing HEATWAVE by DeadDeadDeath -- check out the rest of their work, free to download at https://deaddeaddeath.neocities.org/index.html. This is a fantastic glimpse into a wonderful visual novel that is dark, sexual, political, and intensely different. Trigger warnings abound, so if you're at all triggered by sexual violence or abuse, it may be one to skip. But otherwise, a truly compelling dive! Enjoy!
