Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! This week, little bit of news.

Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! This week, we're back with a little bit of everything. First, some news: EA's private equity purchase is now official (?) which means some (probably) not great things from their end in the months and years ahead. Then, in happier news: there was a really dope Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Direct that we have a lot of thoughts about.

Then, what we've been playing. For Chris, the big one has been Esoteric Ebb, the Disco Elysium-like mixed with Dungeons and Dragons, and for Corey, it's been a bit of Scarlet Deer Inn, a game that is one part Pentiment, one part Kingdom Come Deliverance, one part Studio Ghibli, and the rest parts super duper cool.

Oh, and we also spend a not-insignificant amount of time at the start of the show talking about MGK's new song, JJK.

It's a great one (the show, not the song), so grab your favorite beverage, cozy up, and enjoy!
