We defeated Skynet this week but some people didn't make it. Outlet closures, a new game takes the crown, Star Wars things, podcast rants and other things. We live!

Breaks and outro changed to avoid copyright things. Podcast will be "rebooting" in 163, as an insane AI is purging our episodes of this show because the world is crazy.    Switch 2 discussion, and a ton of randomness. Same podcast as the original 162, except for the breaks and outro. No more Devil Trigger, as we got flagged by Skynet and purged from their system. RIP.
