Episode 34 - Love at the Milky Way Diner, Scarlet Hollow

The Super Mario Bros movie sequel has a new title, but what does it mean the story? Epic Games has added a Darth Vader AI chatbot to Fortnite, and of course players got him to say the worst things imaginable. Plus, the Fallout show has been renewed for another season, Nintendo has detailed the free Switch 1 game upgrades on Switch 2, and Naughty Dog has to help yet another actor avoid harassment.

Join Ekamy and I for these headlines, plus we discuss two queer games that are still in development: Love at the Milky Way Diner (a queer Coffee Talk-esque dating sim), and Scarlet Hollow (the new visual novel from the couple that brought you Slay the Princess).

Don’t forget to stick around til the end for Queer Game of the Week!
