Is gaming the most evolved form of storytelling? In a world where video games bring in more revenue than the movie industry, the way we think about gaming has changed. This week, Kim and Steve talk about how video games have evolved from 8-bit button-mashing to one of the most powerful storytelling mediums we have. Kim grew up emotionally wrecked by Final Fantasy X. Steve's still trying to beat Hades. But both love games that push, challenge, and move you. They cover everything from couch co-op and cozy gaming to AI-generated content and why 40-hour games are a hard sell for some people. Whether you’re a cozy gamer or a completionist, there’s no right or wrong way to play and that’s kind of the point.
