  1. Hello guys.

    Thanks as always for the Episode. I did not find the time and mood to listen to all of the last episodes. Real life is hitting me hard the last months 🙁

    Now I am on holiday and so I have more time for the good things in life, this includes listening to your Podcast 🙂

    I am playing a lot of silksong, slay the spire 2 and some Balatro recently. Mostly I watch tv Shows and play Frosthaven with friends.

    Flashback: at least a game I know! Never played it, but at least I could understand what you talked about 🙂

    PoE 2: i played that game for hundred of hours and I love it! With the new patch end of the month I will get back to it. It’s the better diablo 4. you should give it a try!

    Switch 2 Price increase: I already have mine, but i regret buying it 🙁 I played some Mario Kart and about 2 Hours Donkey kong … that’s it :/ I even played more switch 1 since i bought the switch 2 :/

    Slay the spire 2: I beat the current phase 3 boss as well. It was hard but doable. In my opinion it should be hard, because it’s the actual end Boss…

    That’s all for now from my side 🙂

    Please keep on the good work and stay healthy guys!

    Greetings,
    Ralf
