    Buy Something, You'll Feel Better

    This episode was recorded back in early August. Some dicussions may be a tad out of date. Shane & Telson talk about the divisions being force fed by everyting in modern society, which somehow led to Shane ranting about Intel for way too long. Lots of Satisfactory, Telson said books are overrated, and Shane's ripping off Pitch Black for his D&D campaign.
