Cleo is back from episode 43 and this week we’re talking about something this podcast has sorely neglected: Soulslikes! I’m certain it’s just an oversight and not because the podcast hostess has a deep seated fear of difficult games…

We talk about Bloodborne, the recently released Elden Ring: Nightreign, Nintendo’s new Fromsoft exclusive (The Duskbloods), and why queer people play Soulslike games.

We also catch up on a bunch of headlines, including 2 Nintendo Directs, 2 indie gaming events, queer game updates for the Nintendo Switch 2, and an important update regarding the payment processor censorship scandal (we will probably do a weekly check-in going forward).
