Hello! This episode is absurdly late. After we finished recording it Mat was convinced it's one of the worst episodes we've ever tried to produce and couldn't summon the energy. It is alright, actually! Previous episodes of this show have seen Mat Jones admitting that he'd rather eat poison at his job than admit a minor dietary concern.

This week's smart topics are about how you curate user-messages to retain fun but stamp out misogyny. Also: How making a game about insurgency set in America can't properly make any meaningful statements about that topic. But, I mean, the BEST conversation is about fuckin' Waluigi driving a Mercedes Benz. Oh Hey: At An Hour and Thirty Five Minutes into this we play a game of Fuck Marry Kill using some Abstract Video Game Things. I was informed after the episode had been recorded that this kinda discussion can be potentially upsetting.
