This Month In Retronauts: October 2023 edition (Patreon)

Listeners, I (Diamond Feit) must apologize upfront for a major gaffe in this episode. Whether I was possessed by a fiendish jackal or exhausted from too much podcasting, I couldn't say, but for some reason I described the iconic one-off powerup from Super Mario Bros 3 as Lakitu's Shoe. Latiku has no shoes; I'm not even sure if he has legs!

Otherwise I'm quite proud of our latest community episode wherein Stuart Gipp and myself go over the latest releases, news, and your comments and feedback. Look forward to our thoughts on recent video game-themed anime, unfulfilled Kickstarter campaigns, and which circumstances are best for spelunking. Don't forget to answer our latest question in the comments below, and maybe share a picture if you can!
