April Fools! We do actually mostly talk about Elden Ring again. Hey, where else on the internet is anyone discussing this obscure indie?!

Who has time to record a podcast when we’re still neck-deep in Elden Ring? Not us, Tarnished! But all right, we’ll put the twinblades down for an hour, I GUESS.
