Games & News 10/21/2023: My Neighbors Were Drilling A Lot...

What this episode covers

We've got it all this week, baby. A state of the games club update, a bunch of of games to talk about that aren't Baldur's Gate 3 (most notably Mario Wonder and Spider-Man 2), and the video game industry continues to be gross and bad as hell and everyone should unionize. Also, some ambient drilling that I had to edit around.
