Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! This week, we're talking a few odds and ends.
Corey and Chris both have been playing a bit more Dispatch, Hades 2, and Ghosts of Yotei so we talk about all of that for a little while. But, never fear -- there's some new stuff here too! Corey's also been playing Arc Raiders, the new extraction shooter everyone's been talking about as well as Tiny Bookshop, the indie bookseller sim that no one seems to really be talking about. The good news? We talk about both!
