It's the between Christmas and New Year's episode, so there's not much to talk about this week. Naturally, Matt still talked for over an hour about games like Octopath Traveler 2, Baldur's Gate 3, and Raccoo Venture, before going off on rants about Pokemon and Monster Hunter.

Check out Matt's written review of Raccoo Venture, and check out the What's Wrong with Wolfie Podcast while you're there!

There may or may not be Weekly Diversion episodes the next two weeks. If there are, Matt's wife Natascha will be joining him on them! And if not..........................then we'll see you in a few weeks!
