This week, Niki is on vacation and John is left to his own devices. After planning a 99 Potions reunion to discuss Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the Election happened! Between the emotional fallout from that and other scheduling issues, we're delaying that for a couple weeks.

So yeah! It's John, talking to you, dear listener, about video games.

But also...the Election. If you're bummed about it and don't want to hear it, I understand. You can skip to the 24 minute mark to get past it and onto Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two CEO, being way too excited about the Election and the company's sale of Private Division.

Also:

• Switch 2's backward compatibility
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard
• Metaphor: ReFantazio
• Astro Bot
• Marvel Snap

John also answers your burning Hive Questions. Be good to each other, everyone! See you next week.
