Wow, everyone had entirely too much fun on this episode! Had a great time listening in, and it was nice having more new voices on the episode. Lotte, Son, and Jenna were great guests, and nice work on hosting, Brandon! You all bounce off each other so well, it totally makes sense how you all work together as a team.

(brandon:) thank you! I didn't have a lot of time to prepare for this so I'm glad it came out as well as it did, which is a testament to the rest of the guests/team!

I listen to many gaming podcasts and while Retronauts might be my favorite, Insert Credit is a close second. You're both pretty different and it's a coin toss every week to see which I listen to first.

(brandon:) I will defeat my arch nemesis (which I've been on like 5 times in the last year and which I do not in fact dislike at all)

Prior art search (aka, why do I remember this stuff) Hovercrafts - Link builds one in the trailer for that there new Zelda Dating Merlin - Fate/Grand Order if you get him in the gacha (this game is also the world's best ongoing fantasy novel, because the writer loves lore but also knows the only reason to make rules is so you can make your characters look cool when they break them) Yandere girls who aren't stopped by save files - you're thinking of a Nitroplus game I forget the name of, but also Dokidoki Literature Club

I loved those Taito episodes! Maybe you can talk them into a Yakuza deep dive!
