Show Notes
A new podcast guest approaches! It’s Claire Aubin, a PhD graduate of the University of Edinburgh, where she researched “the comparative individual agency of Holocaust perpetrators in the post-war United States immigration process.” AKA Claire knows knows a lot about Nazis. And she’s an avid TTRPG and video gamer, so Eric and she are diving into how to best make a villain without exposing people to ethnocentrism that they didn’t ask for. This is the most fun you can have having a conversation about Nazis, so let Claire and Eric give you that WW2 info as sharply as possible.

More from Games and Feelings
As an advice podcast, it is our solemn responsibility to give good and actionable advice. We will be very silly while we do so, but we will do our best. We hope you feel that we have fulfilled that brief. Sponsor - Ravensburger jigsaw puzzles, available on Amazon or at your local game store!
Eric is turning a chair around like a cool teacher and telling you the straight dope about the AAA games he’s playing on PS5. Next week, we’re taking off for American Thanksgiving. The week after that, we’re doing a BIG advice episode with Jasper AND Amanda, so submit your questions!
This is how Eric + Jasper episodes go: first, we make some jokes about Eric being the Avatar, Jasper shares the weirdness of getting recognized on the Internet. But then we spend the majority of the episode dissecting the differences between TTRPG games at home and for actual play, in which media are audiences allowed to pick apart play decisions, and how our media diet in 2023 blends the performative and the real. And we make a lot of dumb jokes through it. Also, here is Diddy becoming Batman. Sponsor - Ravensburger jigsaw puzzles, available on Amazon or at your local game store!
Welcome back to The Replay where Eric & Amanda reply to the questions that people write in to advice columnists about games! In this episode, we’re looking at Outside Magazine’s advice column run by Blair Braverman. We cannot guarantee adorable sleddogs in this episode, but we can guarantee interrogation of the types of people who write in to advice columns!
This episode is a celebration of October 20th, or the end of Bone and Joint Health Action Week! But really, Eric and Mischa beat the two games that came out on that day and we’re doing a joint review of the games. Same questions, different games, good videogame podcast content.
