About this episode
The episode discusses various games and their design quality, focusing on intentional and unintentional jank.
Some games have intentional jank (Yerba Buena https://shorturl.at/mSb80) & some have unintentional jank thrust upon them (R-Type Dimensions III https://shorturl.at/anR8I). Between those two pillars of quality, we also have LumenTale: Memories of Trey https://shorturl.at/myoj0 & 868-BACK https://shorturl.at/HcPvc SNOWNOTES:00:10 - Intro04:37 - LumenTale: Memories of Trey https://shorturl.at/myoj0 11:55 - 868-BACK https://shorturl.at/HcPvc 17:36 - R-Type Dimensions III https://shorturl.at/anR8I 31:15 - Yerba Buena https://shorturl.at/mSb8044:31 - Outro
