2023/08/04

Adios, a video game, is described as such: "A pig farmer decides he no longer wants to dispose of bodies for the mob. What follows is a discussion between him and his would-be killer." Spoiler alert I guess. Go play Adios on Xbox, Steam, Epic, Itch, or on the Switch. I'm here to talk about how it's a video game. Some people have said it isn't. In my first solo episode since 2021, I'm here to go over how indie games get a lot of flack sometimes for being on a tight budget

Look, it's tiny baby boy Mishra digging in the sand, combing the desert, building silly constructs. I hope he doesn't become an absolute monster in his adult life.

Magic's story and lore hasn't been that bad, right? Nothing to really nitpick? But we can't help but compare what we experience with recent pop culture crazes, like the abundance of super hero media in the last decade. Comparisons are inevitable, especially the Marvel Cinematic Universe's monopoly. To explore our thoughts on March of the Machines and the multi-set lead up to the finale, I've brought on Kurohitsuki on for a wild 2 hour ride! We compare our feelings on
