Hey Folks! We were out last week due to various scheduling issues, but led off the show with a bit of a message about Bel going through Chemo and maybe having scheduling issues every other week. From there, we talk a bit about the Artemis II mission and how wild it is to experience "Moon Joy", as we enter a new phase of space exploration. Ash talks a bit about the Rabbit and Steel update, and Tam talks about the wild experience of playing Screamer. From there, we talk quite a bit about the Promise Mascot Agency and what a weird gem of a game it is, and how the developer is maybe one to watch going forward. We talk a bit about Last Epoch and the progress each of us makes, and how Tam was able to lean entirely into his player fantasy… and at the same time complete more of the game than I think any of us have, as he dropped Uber Aberroth. Tam also discusses how sometimes it is just best to nuke your emulator devices and start from scratch, and then we wrap things up with a bit of discussion about upcoming changes to Dune Awakening and how they "get it" and are changing the game to reflect the PVE nature of its player base.

• Experiencing Moon Joy

• Rabbit & Steel Update

• Screamer

• Promise Mascot Agency

• Last Epoch

We start off this week discussing a bit about Project Tahiti, which is a fairly professional emulator server that is helping to keep Marvel Heroes Omega alive. We've talked a bit in the past about missing this game, but it now functions again and is really easy to get up and running, especially if you ever played it on Steam. Bel talks a bit about some drama happening in Path of Exile with the account banning of Jenebu, the originator of The Forbidden Trove and what this means for the Mirror Economy. Last Epoch dropped a new expansion, Shattered Omens, and we talk a bit about playing that and the changes that have gone into the game as a result.

The Pokémon cartoon has traditionally had little to do with the actual video game, but we talk a bit about the Pokémon Horizons cartoon and how it is actually teaching valid tactics now. Tam talks about playing through As Long as You're Here, a game about dealing with alzheimers. Bel talks a bit about his own yolo build centered around The Broken Elegy staff in Path of Exile, and Kodra updates us on the current progress of his side project there.

From there, Ace and Kodra talk about Everything is Crab and convince the rest of us that we should also be playing it. Kodra discusses the mixed bag that was Emerald City Comic Con, and Tam ventures forth into more Retro gaming with Kolibri.
