Kat's away this week on Axe of the Blood God, so Nadia takes the reigns, and chaos reins. Wait. Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you.

Eric is on-hand to help co-host, of course, and a very special guest enters the fray: Blood God Discord mod Valexia! The trio have a hearty discussion about LGBTQ+ representation in games, old and new, eastern and western. There's a long way to go, but there's been a lot of progress that's worth celebrating, too.

Also in this episode:

• The Game Awards hate JRPGs :(
• Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is coming to PS4, Switch, and PC!
• Everyone's mad at Nadia because she liked that Imagine Dragons/Bastion song at the Game Awards
• Analogue Pocket orders are opening up. May the odds be ever in your favour.
