We’re back after a short break, and we’re so glad you’re here with us! We battle the COVID loneliness with some cooking together, and though Anne has been too sick to do much of anything, Marcus has been busy writing about game music and a limited edition otome game package. But don’t worry, Anne makes up for slothing around by beating a game (!) and watching and playing many other things. Marcus watches some stuff too, including a movie from 2021?! 100 points to anyone who can guess what it was without looking at the show notes!
