This is the second-to-last installment of The Inconsolables Podcast. The last "serious" podcast as next week we say our goodbyes, reminisce, answer your questions and give you our early GOTY awards. We will be live in our discord for the final episode. Before we end though, join us for a bittersweet trip down memory lane as we reflect on over seven incredible years of gaming camaraderie. Starting on September 5th, 2016, it was just Paul and Andrew, but the family grew with the addition of...

This is why we can't have nice things. For real though, I love indie games away from the AAA b******t and then this happens wtf. Starfield, that's another bad thing.

Sonic confused Sammy's "chilli dog" for an actual chilli dog, and they went to reveal the Illuminati's secrets together. I wish I was making this up. AI's a hell of a drug.

Well to my surprise, setting up a wedding is time-consuming and stressful, and that kinda meant we just did a casual thing in a hotel. I believe the euphemism is that it was "cosy and rustic" Seriously though, Andrew's wedding was really rad, and he SHOULD BE RELAXING AT THIS POINT AND NOT READING THROUGH MY DESCRIPTION. The audio of this podcast is lesser in quality than the wedding, so uh sorry, I tried.

Daddy, tell me the story about the sex cult!  Alright, just this once little Debbie. Once there was a cult called The Pinkertons who liked to throw their weight around and bust up unions. To the bigwigs this was the sexiest thing they had ever seen. It made them rigid with joy every time a small union was busted up and the lives of the meek were pulverised...   That is all you are getting from me.
