    Ep 104: PAX Unplugged 2022

    Apologies for the sound quality -- Lindsay got a new mic and it... did not work well, to say the least. Anyways, we all went to PAX Unplugged once again and it was the least stressful PAX yet. We found fun in some unexpected games and ate delicious food. What else could you want? 0:35 - General PAX Impressions 4:39 - Tether 8:44 - Fit to Print 12:05 - Block and Key 16:12 - Food. Delicious Food
