Self-Promotion and Poetic Bullying

In this episode, Matt and Nick unpack everything from Nick’s triumphant (and only slightly chaotic) return to streaming to the eternal struggle of telling people you exist on the internet.

It’s a whirlwind of hot takes, self-promotion guilt, and heartfelt chaos - and yes, somehow, Guild Wars gets yet another mention.
