From rescuing princesses to romancing space captains, this week we explore the history and experience of video games romance. Join Cody and Kit as they unpack flirty mechanics, cozy crushes, and why player-driven passion is continuing to gain popularity.

“Dream Daddy” has it all: funny dads, musically inclined café puns, and heartfelt stories. Multiple paths to explore, a fun replay, and at least Kit is completely enamored. 5/5, would dad again.

“Love, Ghostie” provides coziness in death and romance. Easy to pick up, hard to put down, and a quick 5/5 from the hosts (or at least Kit).

“Date Everything” kicks off with relevant jokes and quirky charm, but the things quickly become tedious. Repetitive gameplay and janky controls make it a slog, making it more of a “meh” than must-play.

Today, Kit gets on a soapbox to declare that genre does not exist.

Hosts Cody and Kit dive into a controversial sociology study, exploring the clash between biology and culture in gender research, peer review pitfalls, and the risks of biological determinism.

In this episode, Kit goes after BioWare and EA for turning a (somewhat) loved franchise into something unrecognizable with wild pivots, forgotten lore, and lost magic in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

In this episode, Cody and Kit tackle the basics of research methods, exploring different types of studies and the importance of sampling. Learn how to spot strong versus weak research, ask critical questions, and become a smarter consumer of science in the media.
