This is the Gameres with Jobs conference call for Wednesday, June 19th. Happy Juneteenth, everyone. I am your host,

Richard Lovejoy, with me today, Amanda Nolton and Aaron Amandola. And between all of us, we have

collectively two brain cells with which we can rub together to talk about video games. How are you

both doing after your all-night

intensives, i.e. research for the video game podcast that we've all made questionable life

choices to continue to support?

Morning.

So I'm aware of that.

Yeah. So I'm aware of it. Yeah, so I was up playing video games, so.

We need to reframe this as, as you didn't stay up playing video games.

You were being a very dedicated researcher to one of the largest hobbies on the planet. And for that, I salute you.

At the end of the day, we're culture workers, really, and we're putting in overtime for you,

our gentle, gentle, lovely listeners. So we have a fun show today. We've been throwing recently a lot of meaty topics at you.

We had genre month.

We've had interviews with devs.

We've had a rabbit con episode, which focused a lot on board games.

So today we're going to talk some games, and then we're going to take a break, and we're

going to talk some more games because it's Steam Next Fest demo time.

So this is going to be fun.

Plug yourself in, get near where you can write down some names of things because we got a lot

of things on this playlist.

And I'm going to kick it over to you first, Aaron.
