- Slumscast Ep. 31 | The Timhortonification of Slumscast
Two worlds recaps, from a single Slumscast? It's more likely than you think. We discuss our remaining thoughts on the 2022 Netrunner World Championships, including:
- Why flexing as much as possible at all times is game-theory optimal, and how Crown of Servers proved it
- Our biggest scandal yet: shocking and uncharacteristic behavior by both members of the cast
- Wading into The Missed Trigger Discourse
- THE STREAM DUNGEON

1 hr 18 min - Slumscast Ep. 30 | Lat Man Standing: an Interview with 2022 World Champion Sokka234
Worlds 2022 has come and gone, and a new champion has been crowned: Sokka234! We talk with Sokka about his historic run through the tournament, including:
- The spicy corp decks that almost made the cut for the main event
- The World Champ Difference, aka, why cutting a card that boosts your win rate by 20% is the right call
- Sokka-approved tech for approaching a metagame with unfriendly matchups
- Why the biggest flex in Netrunner is also the most correct flex in Netrunner
If that's not enough, also keep your ears open for the long-awaited return of one of our most cherished segments.

1 hr 47 min - Slumscast Ep. 29 | Worlds Predictions 2022: The Boat Episode (bblum-est of all time)
Worlds 2022 is fast approaching, and you know what that means... the Slumscast sends out an SOS to someone much, much better at Netrunner than they are in the hopes that at least one of the predictions said in this episode is correct -- namely, long-time stimslack mod and !noise meme originator bblum! Join our voyage as we discuss boats, including kill cards in your Weyland decks, boats, dril as a manifestation of the collective unconscious of Netrunner players, boats, the banlist, 7-point combo decks, and of course boats. Not on board with that? Worry not: we have one of the spiciest ban or nabs of all time this week. Ready? Ready. Let's ship it.

This episode features:

1 hr 46 min - Slumscast Ep. 27 | Two Fresh Scoops of Slums (feat. Zoe Cohen)
In System Gateway, the Slumscast stumbled their way to the fabled Fountain of Scoops. This time around, we find ourselves in a much less hospitable climate: the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean itself. Thankfully, we're joined by NISEI designer/developer/narrative crafter Zoe "Gayschanel" Cohen, who guides us as we trawl the frigid water in search of new cards. Will we deliver the life-sustaining scoops to our families before the very large boat destroys them? Will Pants finally get to name a segment Akamatsu Mem Chip? Will we uncover the secrets of how narrative design influences game design, determine the worst Netrunner band, and discover the best possible musical in any timeline along the way? There's only one way to find out: tune in to the epic season finale of the Slumscast.
Note: this podcast does not have seasons. This is not a season finale.

1 hr 52 min - Slumscast Ep. 26 | We Tol'd You About Slums, Bro (feat. Tolaasin)
Have you ever been in a community? If so, this episode may just be for you -- this week, we chat with @tolaasin about community moderation, why it matters, and how to do it. Worry not, though, we have plenty of shitposts as well. Tune in to hear one of the most controversial Deckin' Bamboozled segments of all time, perhaps the longest Ban or Nab of all time, and get exclusive scoops on the Slumscast videogame, which will never be coming to a Kickstarter near you. Look at you, reading these show notes. This is how the magic happens. Where doing this, man. Where making this hapen.

5 min - Slumscast Ep. 24 | That's All She Rotom (feat. world champion RotomAppliance)
Worlds 2021 is now in the books, and one player has emerged victorious to claim the title of World Champion: RotomAppliance! Slumscast sat down with Rotom to discuss his historic win, including: beating the entire world with a card that has your own face on it; the agonizing decisions that go into shaving the 61st card from your MaxX deck; and the most broken fair decks in Netrunner history. We also discuss two highly controversial predictions made on the most recent episode of Slumscast, which linger over the reputation of one of our co-hosts.
