Episode 311 - Customizing Our Video Game Experiences

Hello all! In this week’s episode, the three of us sat down to discuss how we individually customize our video gaming experiences to make it as enjoyable as possible for us. Do our rooms have to be decked out in gaming swag? Is character customization necessary for us? How much does narrative choice matter in order to integrate us into the story? Have any of us done a Nuzlocke challenge?

After that, we manage to carve out some time to discuss the games we’ve been playing, such as Plague Tale: Requiem, Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero, and Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness.
