A first of many ttrpg adventures, the Uppercut crew gets taken over by Gotham City villains! Tune in for a first episode preview of a new Patreon exclusive series we'll be offering each month.

Caitlin and Kayla were joined by freelance games critic, Dia Lacina, and game dev Santo Aveiro to discuss why everyone is wrong about Tom Nook, and the uwuification of colonialism that Animal Crossing is indulging in, from an indigenous perspective. Also note: Caitlin said the dystopia of Animal Crossing article was by Leigh Alexander but that was a different piece. The article in question is actually by Laura Hudson.
