The first half of this episode is just me as I speedrun through the news. Queer headlines include a major update on Hades II, a release year for Deltarune’s next chapter, Misc. A Tiny Tale has some upgraded Switch 2 visuals, and information on a canceled Dungeons & Dragons game. In other news, Xbox has started to ramp up their next-gen plans while Nintendo gives us a better look at Donkey Kong Bananza!
I also found 3 more queer games in the Green Games Showcase.
In the second half, I have an exciting interview for you! Nikki Jay is here to talk about her brand new, hilarious, queer plot-former Quantum Witch!
Quantum Witch is a game all about unpacking and processing Nikki’s life experiences, including escaping a cult…? She talks in-depth on her thoughts, inspirations, life stories, all through an unfiltered lesbian lens.
CONTENT WARNING: During the interview, we briefly discuss the topic of suicide. It lasts about 25 seconds. If you'd like to skip this discussion, Nikki flags it just before speaking about it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
