Talking to My Boy About Videogames – 19 – Something is Rotten in the State of Roblox
On this mildly belated episode of Talking to My Boy about Videogames, Jonathan and Ryan discuss the virtues of keeping your cool while trying to snap pictures of Pokemon. From there, they dig into the subtleties of Italian Brainrot and what it means for kids to like it. A scattershot approach is taken in the back third of the episode where they cover Yakuza Kiwami 3, Resident Evil, Sonic Racing, Cat2048, Reanimal, and Romeo is a Dead Man.
