I grew up playing original top down GTA 1+2 on my uncles PC when I was a kid. I loved the “Kill Frenzy!” sound lol hmm I may need to find a way to play those original 2 again. Great episode, guys!

When you guys were talking about that this is something that would likely not happen again. It got me thinking awhile back, I when I used to play Final Fantasy XIV there was a Free Company that was a Virtual Theatre Troupe called Stellazzio Virtual Theatre that put on productions in Free Company home that looks like it started pre-pandemic. I remember coming to a show one time out of curiosity and thought it was pretty great. Unfortunately, there was some personal issues some of the members and are no longer active. It did get me thinking though that this may not be an isolated occurrence. I found an interview with the founder back in 2021 if you're curious on how they did it. https://www.thegamer.com/final-fantasy-14-xiv-community-stellazzio-virtual-theatre-interview/

Heather, I so appreciate your input on the comment made about Hamlet's struggle being solely experienced by men. To me it stunk of the discourse around the "male loneliness epidemic" when women almost always have to suffer through things like postpartum depression alone. Men are simply better at making their own internal problems everyone else's because the patriarchy has taught them that it's their right.
