- Some Other Podcast, Episode 105: Cats!
HEY WE BOTH GOT CATS! So yeah, I hope you like cat talk, because there’s a lot of that this week, and probably for the foreseeable future. DEAL WITH IT. When we’re not busy being belligerent about our cat content, we’re also playing new games, old games, and new versions of old games. We also have things to say about Summer Game Fest, but more importantly, about weird Doritos and spiked coffee. Also, did we tell you we got cats?
Games We Are Playing:
Thirsty Suitors, Tetris 99, Paranormasight, FFVII Rebirth, Paper Mario TTYD
Snack Chat:
Baja Blast Doritos and a terrible Dunkin Hard Iced Coffee.

- Sony mandates that you must have a PSN account to play Helldivers 2 (yes even on Steam). This forces the game to no longer be able to be sold in regions where there is no way to make a PSN account. This results in people review bombing Helldivers 2 on Steam and Steam issuing refunds even if you played more than 2 hours of the game. After all of that Sony walks back the mandate.
