Failure to Thrive

About this episode

Kristoffer discusses personal and philosophical aspects of failure in life and gaming while expressing his commitment to the podcast.

Josh isn't around, so I have an opportunity to do something proper philosophical and In the Weeds about games theory, but instead I'm gonna get personal and talk about failure. Failing at things in life, failing at podcasts, why games fail to thrive, and also why I'm going to keep doing this podcast with Josh as long as he'll let me because I like having an excuse to talk to him about nerd stuff.
