Everyone say Hi to Nico! I’m joined by a long time friend for her first time on the podcast as we chat about video games as a form of performance instead of narrative? And later we try to process how we feel about a game Brandon enjoyed that was influenced by something that was created by Generative AI. It’s a doozy!

If you leave a review of the podcast on an app, screenshot it and send it to me via DM on any of the socials, I’ll enter your name into the Pizza Raffle! One lucky winner every month will get sent a digital gift card to a pizza spot of their choice!
