Welcome back, you beautiful degenerates. This week (okay, month… look, don’t judge), Gamer Chronicles returns with a full-blown gaming breakdown so wild it makes Cyberpunk 2077’s launch look graceful.
We’ve got:
- 🧨 Gearbox selling Borderlands loot and bullshit
- 🎒 Kojima returning with an emotional FedEx simulator sequel
- 💔 Mindseye collapsing harder than my work history this year
- 🧢 Nintendo gaslighting us all with fake Metroid Prime 4 ads
- 🛠️ Nexus Mods getting bought by shadowy figures like it’s the plot of a dystopian RPG
And THEN we deep dive into Cash Cleaner Simulator — the most unexpectedly relaxing crime-core sim you’ll play this year. Picture this: you’re in a dingy basement, laundering money with UV lights, literal washing machines, and a mop full of regrets. There’s blood. There are dye packs. There’s a piggy bank hanging from the ceiling like capitalism’s final boss.
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll clean blood off $20 notes while questioning your life choices.

🎤 Quote of the Episode:
“Cash Cleaner Simulator is the only game that made me yell ‘motherf***er!’ at a pile of soggy twenties — and yet, I’m still playing it.”
