This week Andrea is joined by producer and host Chastity Vicencio to chat about the Mario Kart 9 rumors, the continued production of the PS4, the hundred billion dollar mobile games market, and more! In hands-on Chastity is feeling the relaxing vibes of Unpacking, Sable, and Animal Restaurant while Andrea is caught up in the Wordle craze. Lastly, they discuss what it's like to be a producer in games media, the changing landscape of publisher "news," and what anime Chastity is currently digging.
