This Month In Retronauts: March 2024 edition (Patreon)

What's up patrons, it's your NB Diamond Feit. A lot's going down in April but before that happens, let's bid farewell to March with our monthly community podcast. Stuart Gipp and I run through your comments and feedback, talk about what we've been playing lately, and touch upon recent news.

Fair warning: if you listen to This Month in Retronauts around other people, Stu uses some salty language, particularly during the news segment. Also of importance, that segment is rather unpleasant because a lot of bad stuff transpired this month, so if you're not in a mood for us to bring you down you can skip from 1:11:41 to 1:26:11. Don't skip the closing minutes of the podcast, however, since I make a timely announcement and we have a new question for you to answer for next month's episode.
