2025-03-05 12:05:13 +0000 UTCThe proof is in the pudding, and this really works great for how the credit system operates. Shame about the number of nasties though. You definitely want a game with more nasties in it. It was fun hearing everyone's experience with the game and the theming around it for the whole episode. I didn't know if it would be just one or two questions when originally proposed, but the whole episode was good! The leadup into the lightning round and subsequent reactions by everyone was the best. All for the 5calls rec as well, Ash. It's especially helpful for getting my less nervous about what to say. Go in there and change some words up or make it easier to read out. Very helpful resource, especially recently.
