It's time for another round of chatting about video games! This month we are without Diallo but the remaining hosts gather to discuss the community event Itchmas in July and other stuff that's holding their fancies this month.
Including but not limited to: the pros and cons of gamepass and cooking sims, pinball tables real and virtual, racing games real and imagined, and all things historical and current in the world of rats.
