Questions from Discord:
Brydude: What do you think about the release of Astro Bot; do you think it’s a GotY contender? Do you guys enjoy the game? Should Sony continue releasing single-player story games instead of live-service games? Are you excited on playing Episode Aigis?
campfire_knight: 1) What is your most anticipated game that as of yet has no release date? 2) What would be the most out-of-left-field remake you would be excited for? For me, the answers are: 1) Mina The Hollower and 2) LoZ 2: Adventure of Link.
What we’re playing:
Mary: Dragon Age Origins, Luigi’s Mansion 2 ✅, PAX West stuff, maybe I will play Astro Bot
John: Visions of Mana, Dragon Quest III, Cosmic Fantasy Collection

Questions from Discord:
(Our peeps are playing games on Discord.)
Joe: I am still chipping away at tears of kingdom ( I know I know ) and playing mass effect off and on. (edited)
Brasop: still wakes the deep on gamepass which I thought was excellent and only a few short-comings. Tomb raider trilogy remastered - just finished the first two games and about to start the third. Love the original series, classic childhood games of mine. My brother recommended the two Ori games so I've just started the first one of those and after a pretty slow opening its now really good, love the movement and speed of the main character. Also went back and finally finished the Doom 3 expansion Resurrection of Evil after nearly 20 years. I remember getting half life 2 and doom 3 in 2004, that was a special time. Anyway, cheers all
Brydude: I’ve been doing a new game plus run of persona 3 reload and also started playing Jedi survivor and another crabs treasure. whenever it’s multiplayer with my buds, we usually play Fortnite, or overwatch

Brasop - do you have a game you go back to and replay all the time, not necessarily a favourite game but a comfort game, that you can play and without worrying too much about it because you're so comfortable with it. Mine might be Giants Citizen Kabuto on PC, I can breeze through that without thinking too much and love it. Has a great sense of humour and well worth checking out if you've never seen it before
