Baba Is You looks cool, didn’t know this was a thing.

I skipped the Pikachu thing because pokemon is for kids and I’m no longer a kid, I can watch Star Wars now.

I miss the news and the riddles segments. In general what your podcast is missing is a little levity.

Good shit.

Catsman tricked me into not preparing a riddles section this time. We will have a game next time, for sure.
News has always been a point of contention. Due to editing, we often cut a lot of it that is just boring but it really slows the pace of recording down, which can lead to fatigue before other sections of the podcast. We’ll still cover some news, but only if it’s important, funny or really interesting.
Baba Is You is amazing.

As a listener, I like the news segments since they keep the conversation fresh, they usually follows other long segments dedicated to specific things I don’t necessarily relate to, and less-specific content has a wider audience. I get to hear everyone’s outrage at that duck that played that PS4 or whatever, and laugh along and feel friendship via proxy. I totally get what you mean though about discussion burnout. Maybe only bring up those funny/interesting news?

Also that album is good stuff, good background for lazy internet research and washing up the house. Very nice.
