This was a dream project in so many ways. I’ll miss working on these scripts every Saturday morning! Big shout-outs to everyone on the team, especially @moriyoshijon.bsky.social and @brilingual.bsky.social who were in the trenches with us for all 260 episodes. Thanks and ❤️ to all who watched!

Rooting for Seattle but honestly that wouldn’t have felt so good if that terrible call led to them winning

Didn’t look like HBP to me but I’ll take it

John Ricciardi @johntv.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah an unfortunate requirement since it’s an 18-and-over game. To be fair at least they try to minimize it but this is sadly unavoidable (CERO rules)

Special request, physical publishers: don’t slap lame DAY ONE iconography on your packages. It’s ugly af and serves no purpose. I thought this had mostly gone away but I guess not…
