So not really a correction but Guano is one of the main components in gunpowder hilariously enough. To be a nerd about it, that's why it's a spell component for fireball in Dungeons and Dragons. There was an Island near Australia that became one of the most important parts of the british empire because it was basically a hunk of explosive floating bat turds. The more you know.

Ben will be massively missed though a Brad podcast backed up by Damiani is my dream pod so can't help but be hyped. The two of them are so good on JRPGs and this week's segment got me more up to speed on Xenoblade 3 than anything I've managed to find. Also that was the best beginners guide to Dragon's Dogma possible from Isla! There's no other game quite like it.

Octopus plural is octopodes, because the origin of the word is Greek not Latin, but back in the day authors incorrectly applied the Latin plural to it, and we got Octopi. However, because Octopus is an english word, it is also acceptable to apply the english plural and say Octopuses. Merriam Webster had an article on this: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/the-many-plurals-of-octopus-octopi-octopuses-octopodes

Regarding the short discussion on Blizzard; This is not exactly a correction, but we have known that OW2 is replacing OW1 and that OW1 is going away for *years*. What's new this week is that we got some more details on what will be transferred over from OW1 and what the F2P monetization will look like. In short: -OW1 Accounts on different platforms merged -You keep all OW1 skins from all accounts -You keep OW1 currency, but it is unclear what the legacy currency can be used for. -No more lootboxes, replaced by battlepass and shop for cosmetics. -On transition, owned but not yet opened lootboxes are auto-opened and you'll recieve the contents.
