Welcome to the spawn chunks, episode number 129 for Monday, February 22nd, 2021.

My name is Johnny, but the internet knows me as pixel riffs, and joining me as always

a gate on it. And if you're wondering what I'm talking about, think about the little

drain at the bottom of Helm's deep in Lord of the Rings. That's kind of what I've done
