The Inconsolables

So I'm playing SSTR the whole time this podcast was happening, so that's a thing. IDK, I think it seems like everything went fine, podcast seemed to go well. Apparently we *checks notes* stopped doing the Inconsolables and we're starting a new podcast about Monster Hunter? Hold on, I need to write a strongly worded email about this. Oh and Six Days in Fallujah, that is also terrible.

Other things to say about gaming news and culture here. Oh, and I beat SSTR like 2 hours after the podcast, thanks for asking.

News:
| PayDay 3 is coming, and it *might* be a life service mess? | Microsoft might be buying Discord | Ikumi Nakamura is making her own indie studio |

Naughty Corner:
| PSP + PS3 + Vita stores are closing | Six Days in Fallujah has a trailer, and it's not good |

Why is this a thing?
| A twitch streamer put a microphone... there... | The tale of Stopsigncam |

So you know failing business Gamestop, well through the Lovecraftian horror magic that is the stock market. In fact in order to stop the raving masses of people that are *poor*, influencing the stock market, Robbin' Hood and friends have stopped people buy Game Stonks. It's a surreal capitalist hellscape that technically has a small element of gaming in it sooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

News:
| RIP SOPHIE | Biomutant devs didn't give release date to avoid crunch, well now we have one |

| Valve sued for "market dominance" | Fallout Mod Removed for... unpleasant reasons | Cyberpunk Keanu mod Removed | SCS Software "do not take a stand neither for or against vaccines" |
