Loving the coverage so far! Okay, so… I’ve been playing the SF space exploration game No Man’s Sky for almost 10 years. They just deployed their 22nd Expedition, which is called (wait for it…) THE SWARM You KNOW I’ve been doing Brigid’s swarm voice incessantly. 😂

A promo shot from No Man’s Sky “The Swarm,” featuring a menacing looking red space station against a background of a yellow nebula in space, with multiple spidery arms, surrounded by a swarm of smaller attack ships, with a Traveler’s starship approaching.

Update I read the sequel, The Faith of Beasts. Highly recommend. Come for the aliens, stay for the PI most overcommitted to his projects that he can’t stop being himself even during an alien invasion

I'm reading The Faith of Beasts by James S. A. Corey, and it's great. Because of my healthy and not weird parasocial relationship with a podcast, I want to shout at @themercyofpods.bsky.social every time something exciting happens like we're watching TV together. E.g. OMG [spoiler redacted]!! x53

Best podcast I’ve ever done by a significant margin, and with one of my favorite ever people. We are just starting with our expanse content and will expand (ha!) to other sci fi programming as well while we wait for more Captive’s War content. If you like book pods check us out. 🚀
