Demonschool cocktail!! Never thought we'd see the day. Thanks Brenden!
The Demonschool inspired cocktail recipe video has been reshot and it's up now. There's also a version on tiktok as well if that's your thing.

Obsessed with how this looks so far. I hope they knock this out of the park because I’d love to see a well done Zelda movie 🥹

also, we have still not finalized the schedule for this season so if you're a mutual who has feelings about dragon age the veilguard (good or bad) we've still got some open spaces left. especially interested in anyone who wants to talk about neve or taash and their questlines. hmu!
Locking in.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard season begins in January, and $5+ patrons will get the first few episodes early.

I’ve been playing GIGASWORD and having an absolute blast. I’ll talk more in depth about my time with this puzzle platformer on the @passthecontroller.bsky.social podcast this week and if it holds up to why we gave it a best of PAX East award earlier this year.
