Cat Context 108: Punching Nazis and the Importance of Escapism

January 27, 2017

  Liore was out sick for this recording, but Ellyndrial and Arolaide got together to talk about games where you punch Nazis in the face. This clearly has no relevance to current events. But seriously, if you’re a little burned out on the topical topics, that’s okay, we get it. In this episode we also talk about using games as escapism in difficult times, and how they can be a critical part of self-care. Maybe you’re tapping out for a while by buying every $2 piece of nonsense that shows up on the Steam bargain bin, or maybe you’re enjoying the pantheon of diverse creators and points of view made available through the indie game revolution from the past few years. Or.. maybe you’re punching Nazis. Also, Aro plays something called “Dino D-Day”! Elly forgets the podcast’s Twitter handle! Liore particularly liked the bit where it was implied that she “sends out show notes”. This is one of our more sincere episodes, but Liore thinks it’s also pretty darn great.
