Yeah man, my new robot is rad. Its name is Wuumo and it spends all day making vaporwave art for Instagram. I was wondering why I'd want a robot that makes art, but then I realized if I let it grow a social media account to have some kind of huge following, I can start to make brand deals with like Fiji Water and stuff. Wuumo is gonna pay for itself with this vaporwave stuff. Wait, what do you mean vaporwave is over?

In terms of your personal life, you need time alone today, dear Glover. The Hermit and the Hanged Man between them create a heavy atmosphere, but you could turn it to your advantage if you’re prepared to put yourself under scrutiny. You can’t escape the looking-glass: you might not like the reflection you see, but you need to take a good look in order to understand the faults you must correct and so improve your relationships with the people you love... In your work environment, you should be prepared for an event that’s outside your sphere of influence that might delay a project or jeopardize the go-ahead from above. The combination of the Sun and the Hermit indicates that your desires and reality are somewhat divergent today. The promotion you may have been expecting is not now on the cards, the contract that you were going to sign has evaporated into thin air… All this may be frustrating, but there is no reason to lose faith. Just be patient. Things can only get better! (The above is Glover's reading from horoscope.com.) Discussed: Deltarune, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Spider-Man: The Heist, Red Dead Redemption 2 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with Toad seated on the throne. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

I prefer the stillness here, underground. I am tired of the town. These citizens. I'm tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives. They claim their labors are to build extra rooms in their homes, yet their homes are filled with horrors. Perhaps "home" is not built. Perhaps nothing is built. It's too late to reset. Games discussed: SoulCalibur 6, Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost, Dark Souls Remastered ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Long long ago, a great many people called home a beautiful land of rolling hills and glorious sunrises. For generations they found only contentment, with food and wealth aplenty so long as they kept hidden a great power. One day, a man born of sunsets broke his sacred oath and sought the power for himself. He travelled the wilds throughout his unholy quest, and those who met him assumed nothing of his dark secret as it slowly destroyed his mind. Meanwhile, a great and timeless battle raged on across the land. A man clad in green, a wise woman of gold, and a beast comprised of arcane darkness clashed endlessly, laying waste and restoring peace as often as the universe itself spun through the cosmos. Even then, long long ago, legend foretold of their coming, and of their struggle to wield an unimaginable power between them. Three great beings, each the personification of an equally great strength. But little did they know of the man born of sunset, and of his despicable quest. Courage, wisdom, and power had been contested through the ages, but even the gods themselves could not have foreseen the coming of the fourth great totem: sick bargains.
