A quick tease of this week's #podcast episode of SPR. TLDR: US Wages have been stagnant since 1970 (and haven't kept up with CPI). Consumers have less disposable income. Gaming should be financially accessible. Thanks for attending my TEDTalk. #gamedev #gaming #nintendo

Just finished this episode and loved it. Really helping energize my recent SCP obsession.... Even though this isn't an SCP story.

Not me developing a micro obsession with the SCP Foundation and adapting it to fit the Genesys RPG system… It is me… that is what I’m doing…
