SPOILER WARNING!

Current Game: Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition


Today’s XP Log is a little shorter, but no less criminal. While playing Dragon Quest XI, I had a moment of reflection: Why do RPG heroes get away with smashing pots, looting dressers, and stealing from NPCs without a second thought? This episode dives into the weird ethics of RPGs, gaming habits we all share, and a little thing I call "virtual kleptomania."


If you’ve ever felt a twinge of guilt after raiding someone’s pixelated pantry, this one's for you.

Stuff You Should Know
Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
