    Jon and Benny continue their march to 100 episodes, 6 months into 2025. This time, we break from tradition and away from fighting games to talk about our favorite JRPG (and possibly game) of the year, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. We're joined by Jess, Mary, and Mike as we discuss the impact of the game on ourselves, and how its themes and messages related to our own personal experiences. Content Warning: Massive spoilers, discussion of death of loved ones, living with disabilities, grief, and suicide.
