In the grim dark future, there is only show notes. Are you MAN enough to pick up an absurd set of sentences and hold the line alongside literally overwrought walking metaphors? We're covering Helsreach, a fan made movie in the Warhammer 40k universe, and discussing both the philosophy of Grimdark and the interestingly related philosophy of Gamergate. We discuss why 40k is one of the last major holdouts in the Gamergate wars.

Previous Episode

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy and Meaningful Needs pt. 2
Well, at last we've come to our not super long or honestly all that taxing journey. We asked some hard questions that we felt no obligation to answer. We banged some hot blacksmiths and blew off our obligations to play with the phytoplankton. If this isn't the good life, there probably isn't one. Enjoy Prayer for the Crown-Shy pt. 2 and consider what real need for meaning still exists.
