About this episode

The episode discusses the game Phix, featuring a furby with magnet powers and a Medusa boss, exploring themes of love and character design.

Phix is a furby who got magnet powers, and this entire game is an exploration of how to execute on that premise as sorely as possible. But one of the bosses is a big titty Medusa monster, so we discuss whether or not we could find love if one of our arms was a snake.
