And just for fun, here are a couple other video game related ones I did.

@respawnaimfire.bsky.social in episode 404, y'all talked about 404 Errors and Zelda, and I thought it was funny because I used to draw cartoons on Netflix envelopes before mailing them back, to entertain the people working their shitty tedious jobs ... and I drew this 404 Broken Link cartoon.

@respawnaimfire.bsky.social @kozibear.bsky.social trying to bribe @adamgumby.bsky.social into buying a Switch 2, using things that don't appeal to Adam is killing me. 🤣 "I, a 30 year old man, am going to start playing sports because I can double-jump for 1 hour a day? What are we doing here?"
