Micah, you can try Baldur’s Gate 3 via PS+.

Yeah I usually listen to this just for the banter while I walk my dogs. Solid crew

Unless my kids get a Nintendo product, I am probably never buying a Nintendo console again (and haven’t since N64). BUT this crew is too good to miss. Love this show.

When I was on the fence with Baulder’s Gate 3 the thing that made me buy it was hearing Dustin say to look at it like a X-Com style Tactical RPG and damn he was spot on.

Lol The Degen-Meister moniker made me laugh. I just realize in these threads apparently the write ins with the darkest twists get read the most. It worked! Trust me I didn’t want to think of Mario and Yoshi fellatio but this is what it’s come to.

Trigger warnings suck! I understand but they’re usually on rated M17+ games. One example that specifically comes to mind is Doki Doki Literature Club - I was stoked to play the game as a visual novel and dating sim - and right away the game warns you of the themes of self harm and suicide. I understand some people might appreciate this but for others right away it spoils the dark turn the story takes because you automatically realize “oh no - one of these characters is going to commit suicide” so then you just wait for it then of course there it is!
