Our cause is once again any abortion fund! However, this week we are donating to National Network of Abortion Funds Collective Power Fund. It will redistribute direct abortion funding to 28 member abortion funds across more than 20 states and is concentrated in the South and Midwest, where it’s often hardest to get an abortion. The Collective Power Fund supports:
Cost of an abortion
Transportation to a clinic
Childcare
Lodging
Abortion doula support
All dollars raised will be redirected to local abortion funds on the frontlines of abortion access.
We’ve donated to them, if you donate and send us proof we will shout you out on the show.
 

This week, Eric and a Covid-stricken Alex are joined by Malheurt, a drag queen finding the sublime in twitter jokes and fantasy tropes. They talk Pokémon, the ethics of looking up how to beat games on the internet, the majestic difficulty of Heroes of Might and Magic, and so much more.
 
Here’s what we played through this week:
NIGHT OF THE CONSUMERS, by Germ Food
Blast Rush, by Bipedal Dog
Rusty Lake Hotel, by Rusty Lake

Alex and Matt talk anime, the tragic beauty of owning dogs, and Steel Magnolias before diving deep into the must-play 20 Minutes Till Dawn, which you should definitely buy instead of avocado toast. The ethical gamer holds court. Matt has opinions about Metroid: Dread. Alex takes a detour from Xenosaga into arguably stranger territory.

We have Joe Anderson and Tom Harrison, hosts of the hilarious Anime Sickos podcast, on to discuss all of the most important topics, including how terrible South Dakota is, how F-Zero GX isn't actually a racing game, and why Dragon Quest VI is better than Apex Legends. The pair also schools us on the true objective of their new favorite game, 20 Minutes Till Dawn. You don't want to miss this one, folks. 
Here's what we played:
