The KD Ratio!

We recorded this epsiode remotely, but still had a lot of fun chatting!

We also compare side missions across various games and contemplate the consequences of player decisions, highlighting the guilt of declining romance options and the potential outcomes of not telling the truth in certain scenarios.

Our conversation takes a turn towards the Wizarding World as we debate over the portrayals of Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies, and the possibility of a Dumbledore-centric film.
