#139 — We Played Terror of Hemasaurus! (with Derek B. Gayle)

What happens when a giant rampaging monster is unleashed on the world by an apocalyptic cult? Well, it's pretty simple: lots of destruction. Derek B. Gayle joins us to talk about 2022's 'Terror of Hemasaurus', a smash 'em up homage to Rampage and expression of a solo game dev's frustration with the state of the world and our unwillingness (or perhaps inability?) to save the environment.

But before we get into the deep questions, we check in on the stuff we've been reading, watching, and thinking about.
