    PnP Mini 2 - Boons and Busts feat. Slay The Spire.
    Apr 3 2023
    Once you have two, it's a pattern, right? This month in PnP mini we talk about how Slay The Spire tries to get you to take on boons that are just as likely to bust your run later. In contrast, we also talk about how the "Great Force" power up in Mario and Luigi: SuperStar Saga taunts you to take double damage to deal double damage, and how that encourages you to play the game more as intended.

    Rant 6 - Bleed 1&2
    Sep 18 2022
    We love games here at Plat and Pit, but a lot is going on right now for us, so we are unable to craft our regular shows for a while. In the meantime though, we would still like to make some things, so we will have these bonus rants for a while on all sorts of topics that might not suit our usual format. For our sixth (and hopefully final) one of these, we look at Bleed 1 and 2, some really neat and special games Rinoa and Blue just think are neat.
