As expected, I picked up the Power Rangers RPG. Because, you know, I'm that kind of guy. I don't have any big-headed thoughts yet, although I'm sort of surprised at how it feels locked in the mid-90s with respect to Power Rangers.

STAR TREK CORNER: D. Bethel is still getting excited about Star Trek: The Next Generation, so our hosts spend some time discussing the end of TNG‘s season 3 and the start of season 4.

NEWS CRUISE: With all the news coming out in the last few weeks, our hosts decide to skim over a handful over them, including Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard; an indie developer complaining about there being too many indie games; and comics writer, Tom Taylor, taking on Comics Gate head-on.

Jeff Vogel’s Twitter thread about indie games:

So pointing out the world doesn't actually need 10000 new indie games a year on Steam will make some people super angry.

Note: that's almost 300 games a day.

Suggestion: Think I'm wrong? Prove it by going out and actually trying 1% of those games. (Yeah, I didn't think so.)
