Silksong is Easy

On this week's show, Shane and Stan talk about their latest videogame obsessions. Shane slashes through a maze of bugs in Silksong while Stan takes pictures of planes for Sky Cards. We also read off some our recent Perplexity prompts, review a new attachment for handheld gaming, and go over router extenders to stream games in bed.
