Another UFO50 episode in the bag with the beloved Eggplant crew. Thanks for having me on the show! God bless this stupid little Garfield submarine and its infuriatingly bewildering gameplay. I want to love Porgy. I don’t know if Porgy loves me. Listen to us discuss.

My 2024 GotY is without a doubt Caves of Qud. So i sat down with @unormal.bsky.social & @jfg.land to chat about the game’s 17 year (!!) dev journey, their design philosophies, obscure RPGs, water ritual history, and more. I wanted to chat for 5 more hours. Live and drink. youtu.be/DEZsByFC6gA?...
