  1. Hi guys.
    Thanks for the episode 🙂

    Even if I don’t play that much since my partner died, I still like to Listen to your podcast. I hope that’s ok for you if I comment anyway, even if I can’t say that much to the topics you talk about.

    I still played a lot Pokémon go and tried the new TCG Lorcana. It’s really fun and I did not know that poGo is that complex!

    Do you guys know more mobile games like ingress and Pokémon go? Does anyone of you play one of these both?

    Besides these I don’t play that much mobile games, so I sonst care about Apple Arcade being shut down 🙂 (I know there are games not only for mobile, but for me it feels that way).
    I still plan to play BG3 when it gets a little bit cheaper and I feel like playing such a massive game 🙂
    I am really looking forward Silksong which hopefully will be released this year!

    Stay healthy guys and keep on the good work.
    Greetings,
    Ralf
