In Episode 101 of the UDP Broadcast, we brush off the confetti from our 100th celebration and plunge straight into chaos. From Nintendo bricking consoles and overpriced Warhammer bundles to indie dev love letters and steam-powered nostalgia, this episode explores the absurd friction between polish and passion. We roast anti-consumer trends, celebrate dumpster-fire quests l, and dive deep into the games setting our hearts (and ships) on fire—looking at Jump Ship, Palworld, Mass Effect, TF2, and more. Plus, we spotlight solo dev champions, lawsuit drama, achievement flexing, and the sacred TF2 hat economy. 🎙️ Also: deep lore drops, glitchy audio hilarity, and British slang sign-offs. 💬 Join our Discord & get in on the chaos: https://discord.gg/theudpbroacast 👾 Support LGBTQ+ youth through The Trevor Project—10% of our earnings go there.
