This week we're talking about what is likely the goofiest of the new Galactic Events! It basically blows the lid off the tech game and enables everyone to lend each other into an apocalypse of SHARING. Our guest this week is El Blasto who was featured in the Finals of our online tournament this year and is also an accomplished streamer and commentator of our beloved game.

This week Hunter sits down with community member Andcat (and frequent merch collaborator) to talk about our experience with the Age of Exploration Galactic event. This is one of the more reasonable events and I think it brings a fun chill experience to the game. We moved the rundown to the end with this episode and you might want to stick around for it if you have missed having Matt in these episodes.

Hey there friends! We had a lot of plans blow up on us last week so we've had to pivot a bunch of plans, I promise we'll be back to normal next week! For now I've got an experimental episode for you.

It's a weird thing we've done once before and it's a great nostalgic way to listen to our old ideas and compare them to the current SCPT paradigms...
