Hello and welcome to a new episode of Acts of the Blood God an independent RPG podcast.

I'm one of your co-hosts here, Eric Van Allen, joined as always by Nadia Oxford. Nadia, how are you doing this morning? Not doing to you badly. I am from the future, and the Jays have either won or lost. It's a 50-50 on either side. You exist in both futures, where the Jays have won and the jays have lost you are

shrodinger's not yet i'm shortyger's blue jay yeah yeah i'm in a box going because i'm a blue jay

joining us from only one reality as far as we know lucas white is here Lucas how are you doing

i'm doing okay um i'm exhausted from a project I've taken on, but that's what it is.

Best RPGs of the year sounds really easy and fun on paper until you get the parameters of the

assignment and you're like, oh no, what do I do? This is the time of year where this is a very busy time for freelancers because they will hand

you anything they can right now.

And usually it's, I used to do a lot of gift guides back in the day.

It is gift guide season.

Everyone get your Amazon Prime links ready over the hell you have to do.

The one thing I swore I would never ever do again is that as a

Canadian I usually got stuck working the black Friday days weeks on at US Gamer because they would

take Thanksgiving off and like I would take Canadian thanks to giving off so it was easy it was even

Steven but that was a nightmare there was one one a year where I had to just spend like three solid days looking for these stupid links for our site. And nothing was clicked on. I mean, zero. It was a complete waste of time. And thankfully after that, I never did it again, but shortly after U.S. Gamer died. So I don't know. Maybe on the asshole.

I can't believe you did this, Nadia. I can't believe you did this to us. Yeah, no, I always, it's always funny who ends up getting the holidays. I do feel like we get a lot of holidays in the U.S. now. I feel like we have risen above the average in terms of corporate holidays. Now, We've had a few added and now we're sitting at a pretty good solid average.

But for free, above the average in terms of corporate holidays. Now, we've had a few added, and now we're sitting

in a pretty good, solid average. But for freelancers and for Canadians, I guess you don't get

quite as many. We get more than you guys. Like actually, you get more than us? I used to argue with

all the time because Easter weekend is a big deal up here. Things shut down. And I mean, like through Monday, at least through Sunday. Some places shut down through Monday. But I said to Kat, why aren't we taking Easter off? And she's like, it's a religious holiday. I'm like, no, it's not. It's just a holiday. We take the day out. We take the weekend off. I didn't know Jesus was Canadian. That's crazy. he's like a this sup of, this of sup of this because it have, uh, some of his maple syrup

because it is my blood.

Sorry, Christians.
