Games of the Week (11:24)
• Review of Pyrotechnics from The Seahorse and the Hummingbird, a buoyant and sparkly two-player card contest about fireworks that packs a lot of smarts into an incredibly short playtime.

• Walt returns to show us Burnout Reaper and Digital Angel, two near-future dystopian TTRPGs. The bills are due and we can’t pay ‘em. Time to harvest organs. All kinds of organs. Both of these games are free now because the creator pulled them off Itch.io. TRIGGER WARNING: PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING.

Track of the Week (34:42)
A spiritual reflection from across the Atlantic of the US’ early-2000s True School: “3 Ft. Deep” by DJ Format & Abdominal.
