Fred has officially conquered F.I.S.T. and completed every Contra game in the Contra Collection. Now, he’s diving into Bloom & Rage. Meanwhile, Jake has started Avowed and is digging into Obsidian’s latest RPG.

In listener feedback, PrescriptN asked if we’ve checked out Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge, which is free on PS Plus Premium. Sounds like a great pick for Star Wars fans, especially with all the VR we’ve been playing lately.
