Thank you to everyone who joined us for Taco De Mayo 4ever after! If you missed it, we took a second run down King of the Castle, a very excellent stream / party / role-playing(?) game where one person (Feather) got to rule a kingdom with an iron throne while a bunch of wretched losers (Karp, Gary, Will, and friends) all tried to harsh her vibes and ruin her chance at wonderful tyranny.
Anyway, it's a good game, and good games are what we do here! So we're sitting down to talk about it!
In this episode: WOULD MY IDIOT NEPHEW PLEASE FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF, the chiefs of the north are up to it again (when are they not!), this episode is an act of hubris but it shall go unpunished because our listeners have a military score of two, this game would have exploded in 2020, unseen balance.

>>QUERY(COGMIND)
Hot dang, Feather's writing the episode description and that means she gets to talk about how great this game is. So great, she procrastinated editing this episode to play more cogmind. Nevermind she procrastinated editing the last episode to play cogmind. 
What other game makes sensors so fun? How is rolling up on some dudes with quad rocket launchers both incredibly powerful and impeccably risky? Should I risk this entire run on these wings I found? (No, you should not, but you're going to do it anyway and then you're going to regret it in two floors)
You should take a look at some screenshots before diving into this ep if you haven't yet. If those screenshots look sick as hell, and you love weird difficult puzzle roguelikes where figuring out what you're doing is half the fun, skip this episode and go play Cogmind. We'll be here when you're done (and by done I mean taking a short break after getting run down by demolishers in Mines -8)
>>QUERY(TACO DE MAYO)
Join us Sunday, May 5th, for the 4th Annual (possibly final) Taco De Mayo Charity Stream! We've finally come to our senses, so this one is running 10AM - 4PM Pacific. We're raising money for the Southern California Immigration Project!
>>DESCRIBE(EPISODE)
In this episode: demolisher squads have been dispatched to your location, reading the matrix like it's the matrix, let me explain branches, where the hell is my whiteboard, yoloing branch exits, my wings are fragile and it's important to take care of them, the emergency wheel, this is the best roguelike I've played (I am not sure I recommend it).

Spiritfarer is an adorable little game, that on first inspection, looks like a fun, cozy little friend-em-up like Stardew Valley and friends. This is a lie. Spiritfarer is actually a coldly calculated trap, designed to lure you into making friends with friendly, interesting, deep characters explicitly so it can take them away from you, and then remind you what you've lost.
The hug button isn't a cute fun thing - it's a necessity.
Content warning: discussion of death and loss, spoilers for the general gist of spiritfarer throughout, extended discussion of the backstory of the first spirit (Gwen) after a verbal warning
In this episode: immediately stepping into the genre thunderdome, wrestling with the spoiler onion, the big fluffy owl in the sky, holes where people used to be, slopemaxxing, taking the bus, an entire story in a two line aside on the wiki, cats should be cat, blaseball, and extra long post pod becuase lot of things have been happening!

Dosh Doshington: Cogmind and the Future of Roguelikes

This week we're still in the mid-aughts, and this one's a real doozy. Generally considered to be the best movie tie-in game ever, we've got opinions.
In this episode: King Kong Points, Feather doesn't know her own age, the Worst Shotgun In a Videogame, Megapedes and V-Rexes, JAAACK!
