2022-08-03 20:55:44 +0000 UTCLoved the GTA conversation this week, I’m also curious to see what a more matured, meaningful GTA could look like at this scale with all the money in the world Great episode, and great job, Esper, get well soon!

2022-08-02 18:51:13 +0000 UTCThe deeper dives into some of the topics this week were great to hear. Also, the statement of people that used to call for banning of certain games being the same people upset over GTA rumors seems so incredibly on point, but it never once occurred to me. Hearing that made me react outloud, haha Another good episode!
