This week, Willa and Robin confront their respective greatest enemies: theater kids and math. First, we go long on Titanium Court, and why neither of us found it as groundbreaking or as hard to explain as you may have heard. Then we talk about Sol Cesto, a game you’ve probably heard less about because the universe is as cold and uncaring as the probability that makes Sol Cesto great.
Timestamps:
(01:00) Describing Titanium Court
(18:40) Slight Titanium Court spoilers
(23:45) For real Titanium Court spoilers
(47:40) Trying to move on to Sol Cesto but immediately talking more about the reception to Titanium Court (in a non-spoiler way)
(53:30) Actually talking about Sol Cesto

This week, we’re only half paying attention to the show because we're thinking about the Moon. When we turn our attention briefly away from the Artemis II livestream, Willa talks about the bad new Life is Strange game and Robin played a smattering of new indies but she’s too tired to say much about them.

This week, we remember the halcyon days of when we cared about Final Fantasy 14, experience what it’s like to watch a gaming awards show that doesn’t make you want to claw your own eyes out, and discover that every once in a while a lesbian with a sword isn’t enough to make your game good.
