dillin and robin duo one shot, about to have the best 4 hours

that meme of the guy laughing as he's sitting next to a poster of three girls eating ice cream and laughing and he's basically the same size as the girls in the big poster so it looks kinda like he's hanging out and laughing with them but he's not. he's a guy and the girls laughing are in a poster. i think this alt text was too convoluted

One of the best parts of One Shot is that listeners can pick and choose which ones sound interesting to them and just hop between those. But, rss feeds don't really make that easy or digestible so this was my way of hopefully making this easier to do!

Now having actually played the game, this is SUCH a good breakdown of what you can expect. This is a game of yearning and trust. Very different from the wholesale grief of TTWH, but playing so well with a very different, heavy set of feelings. I can't wait for people to try it!!!
