  • Legit unrealistic

    You guys are like a parent telling their children that they’re getting a dog and then coming home with a Scooby Doo hand puppet, extremely misguided they don’t know what they’re talking about.

  • A fascinating look at the games industry from a leftist perspective

    This is one of the only podcasts I’ve found at the time of this writing besides No Cartridge Audio that is willing to discuss the games industry and it’s surrounding culture from a leftist perspective. The hosts do a great job discussing how capitalism has shaped the modern game market. Would recommend to anyone that doesn’t immediately poop their pants when they hear the word communism.
